BURGLARS ENTERED a home on the Granada Street extension Monday and stole jewelry, rifles, clothing and other items with an estimated value of $1,000. A woman who lives in the house said the burglars took the expensive jewelry, two high-powered rifles, most of her husband’s clothing, all the household silver, the money in the two children’s piggy banks and other household items. There was no one at the home until 3:30 p.m. When the babysitter arrived, she noticed the rifles were missing and asked the son if his father had gone hunting. The burglars had carefully put back in order drawers, jewelry boxes and other places they had searched. When the owners of the house arrived home, they called the police.

TRUSTEES OF THE SOCORRO General Hospital voted at their meeting Thursday evening to curtail hospital visiting hours from the former 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. New hours of 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 8 p.m. will be strictly enforced unless the patient is very critical. There will be no more morning visiting hours. The action stemmed from requests by both medical staffs. The hospital administrator said that doctors had complained that their patients were being, “worn out from visitors.” Morning hours are the hours when the wards are cleaned. Visitors not only upset the routine, but the cleaning equipment in the halls is a “hazard” to them.
