Norman Schaefer leads in line for unveiling of a Stop Thief! program at a San Antonio supermarket. The anti burglary drive documents losses over 5000 dollars from two break-ins at 187 Cadillac. Engraving pens will mark items with numbers at Handy Andy Store No 24, Blanco and West Avenue, with free loaned pens and a suggested donation of 110 dollars. Community groups sponsor the project to deter theft and identify valuables.

Quake Strength Measured in San Francisco Dispatch
The Managua quake ranked around 6.25 on the Richter scale, far below the 8.2 San Francisco event of 1906. The maker of the scale, Caltech seismologist Charles F. Richter, notes the scale is logarithmic, with each full point representing about a tenfold increase in ground motion. The Chilequake of May 21-29, 1960, measured 9.2 and killed about 5,704 people, illustrating the scale’s range.
