The Board of Education- office of-fice in Beaver, Beaver High School, and Milford High all were burglarized, with damage to doors and offices, and the total "take" was only $5. A year ago when thieves entered en-tered schools at Minersville, Milford and Beaver, total dam- age amounted to more than a thousand dollars.
