Albert Smith of F'arwell said the earliest freeze he remembers in these parts occurred on Oct.

11. 1927, when it froze hard enough to kill plants. The first not usually occurs a few weeks later. Today's mail brought three packages of information from three different sources about heart attacks, what causes them, how to avoid them, etc. Enough to make one feel a suspicious pain in his chest.

From the New Mexico State managing editor Fair came a story about a New Mexico Heart Association exhibit at the fair and a booklet called "Risko" which is handed out to fair-goers from the association's booth. "Risko" explains factors contributing to heart habits, blood pressure, diet and others. Then the Associated Press sent a sample of a series of columns explaining such things as the effect of smoking on your heart (a two to six times greater risk of heart attack for smokers), and how high cholesterol foods increase the risk. The third envelope contained promotional information about a New York Times-syndicated series on a book called, "How to Live With Your Heart." It included a discussion of the heart and how it works (a man's heart weighs 11 ounces, a woman's nine); what a heart attack does; and a heart attack victim's approach to exercise and sexual activity. Next to politics that must be the most popular subject for discussion around.

(AP) Gas Co. of New Mexico's request for a 53-cent increase per thousand cubic feet in its cost of gas adjustment factor ran into a temporary delay today after nearly two hours of hearings.

Asst. Ally. Gen. Paul Biderman and Leonard Helman, counsel for the Public Service Commission staff, asked for detailed information on company gas purchase contracts going back several years to when the cost of gas adjustment was first approved by the PSC. Attorney Seth Montgomery, for Gas called the requests "extremely burdensome and an unwarranted request for information." At that point commission Chairman Richard Montoya declared a short recess to give the attorneys time to see if they could reach an agreement on the request.

Biderman expressed interest in the company's relationship Indictments Returned The Curry County Grand Jury met Friday and handed dosvn seven indictments. They are: Thomas, trafficking in controlled substance. Marcel Washington, conspiracy to possess more than eight ounces of marijuana and aggravated assault with a firearm. Louise Parker, con- sipiracy to possess more than eight ounces of marijuana and aggravated assault with a firearm. Carroll Kenneth Mills, possession of more than eight ounces of marijuana.

Coy Sherwood, aggravated battery. Charlene Stone, also known as Charlene Lockett, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Cain, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. with Southern Union Production Company, which, like Gas is a subsidiary of the parent Southern Union Company. Montgomery told the commission the delay that would result from the Biderman- Helman request would delay the hearing past the date for implementing the cost of gas adjustment factor and would be tantamount to a denial if a decision is not reached by Sept.

Domestic and economic issues are scheduled as the subjects of the first debate, corrected. White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen and William Greener, chief spokesman for Ford's campaign committee, said the Republican attack on Carter's tax coments wasmt affected by the transcript correction. Dole interpreted Carter's statements as meaning the Democratic nominee wants to "raise taxes for half the American families." After Carter accused Dole and other Republicans of distortion. Dole responded Sunday stantial person." night in Florida with a denial contending Carter is "on the hook now and he's going to try to wiggle off." uole said Carter "should drop out of the race" if he does not have a better understanding of the American economic system than Dole claimed Carter has demon- Hillcrest Park.

A robber who hid in a refrigerator while a customer was in the 7-11 store here this morning staled away, apparently on foot, with just over $100, according to Parmer County Sheriff Charles Lovelace. Clovis In Brief TEST DATES-The next General Educational Development Test will be given at the Clovis High School Guidance Office from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 1, and from 8-5 p.m. Saturday Oct.

2. For any questions concerning the Test- Contact Mr. Elaine at 762-3745. About 3 a.m. today, while the clerk, Virginia Flickinger, 1117 Oak, Clovis, was mopping near the back of the store, the man entered, Lovelace said.

Ms. Flickinger told Lovelace the robber, wearing a stocking over his face and gloves on his hands, ordered her to the cash register. She said the man carried a rifle. As she svas loading money from the cash register into a paper bag, a truck driven by Gary Ruiz of Clovis pulled up to the gasoline pump outside, according to Lovelace. Ruiz noticed the sack of money when he went inside to pay for gas and to deliver donuts for the Clovis donut shop for which he works.

He asked her if she was just opening the store, according to Lovelace. She said she was, though the store is open 24 hours. Ms. Flicklinger told the sheriff that while Ruiz was in the store the robber hid in the walk-in refrigerator at the back of the store. He left with the money when Ruiz departed.

Lovelace said the store's manager, Sandy Sparritt, also of Clovis, said ordinarily there is much less cash in the register than what was there this morning. Most of that money, Lovelace said, is in coins. Lovelace, said neither Ruiz nor Ms. Flicklinger saw a car in the area of the store. The Clovis Police Department is assisting in the search for the robber.
