Burglary Shows
Shift OF Scene

Burglars, as well as those of a
more respectable calling, seemingly
are moving their scene of activity
to the mountains for the summer
At least this is the inference
which might be drawn from a re-
port at the sheriffs office that the
Mountain Springs service station
on the San Diego highway was
burglarized last night.
The thief or thieves, according to
the report, took nothing but several
boxes of candy and 10 boxes of ci-
gars. No details of the burglary
were given.
