Oakland Primary School broken into
An air conditioner and an electric typewriter were stolen from Oakland Primary School on June 17, according to Nansemond Police. Sgt. W.V. Dunning discovered the theft on June 18 at 6:15 a.m. Entry was apparently gained by breaking a window on the south side of the building. Nansemond detectives are continuing their investigation, with no suspects as of yet.
Chuckatuck Fish Fry ticket prices may double
Rising costs, particularly that of fish, may force the Chuckatuck Volunteer Fire Department to double the price of its semi-annual &uot;all you can eat&uot; fish fry to $2. The department’s fish fry last Saturday cleared between $400 and $500, said Mrs. John Kelley. Profits were not as great as in recent years because costs went up (the flounder alone has risen to 95 cents a pound), while ticket prices remained $1.
Local sportscaster to address sports club
Bud Kaatz, sports director and sometimes weather forecaster of Norfolk’s WAVY-TV, will be the speaker at the June meeting of the Suffolk Sports Club tomorrow night.

Kaatz is expected to review the Tidewater professional sports picture during his talk.
