Al- most $5 was taken from the till, and the intruder left by way of the rear door. Fingerprints were later obtained at the scene of this break-in. That same night the premises of Leslie Ball Auto Supply, was ent- ered. The man climbed onto a sill, from there to a 'direr on the second floor. He broke the glass; reached in and released the bolt, cutting his hand as he did so. Gaining entrance in this way, the intruder again departed with about $5 in cash. Next, he appropriated a car from the garage of Fairholme Dairy, at the rear of Leslie Ball's, later abandoning- it on Isaac• St, near the Bowling Alley. Policemen found bloodstains on the steering wheel of the car. On Wednesday, a man whose hand was cut, when questioned by Chief of Police Ferrand, concern- ing the thefts, admitted his guilt, and later confessed to the Library and PUC building break-ins, Two weeks ago arrest was made of a juvenile who was invclved in a theft occurring on Matilda St., late in March, and a week later another youth was caught in con- nection with two charges of theft occurring also in the latter part of March. Chief Ferrand states that in- vestigation of other thefts which occurred prior to his resuming his post on May 1, is still going for- ward. Hensall Feeder Calf Club Had 76 Entries at Hensall Spring Fair First and biggest' thing of its kind in Ontario, the Hensall feed- er calf project, was brought to its climax at Hensall Spring Show on Friday, May 29, with a smoothly staged display of beef on the hoof. Launched in the winter of 1951- 52, by initiative of the Hensall fair ',board, the show and sale, which brought out 76 home -raised calves at the Hensall Spring Stock Show was the second such event held in Hensall. The efficient ar- rangements made for putting 76 farm boys and their calves in the public's.,; eye showed , that lessons had been learned from the first show and salea year ago. Honors were distributed widely among the 76 farm boys from the Hensall district who were in the ring. at Hensall Community Centre Friday Iast. The calves were par- aded and judged, and the best 20 calves were picked by the judges. Then the showmanship of the 76 boys was assessed, and the 20 best showmen were named. The gains in weight made by the calves were calculated and the names of the nine boys Who had achieved the greatest gains on their calves were announced. Finally, the calves were auctioned, and the bidders made their own choices by the cash they laid on the line. Top price in the auction sale was 28 cents a pound, paid for Bill Etherington's first -prize calf, while next -best price was 273e cents, for the calf shown by Ro- bert Kinsman, RR 2, Kippen. The average price paid for the 76 calves auctioned was estimated at a fraction over 23 cents. The Hensall feeder calf project, unique in Ontario, is sponsored by Hensall Agricultural Society, which last fall backed enough notes at the bank to finance pur- chase of 76 beef calves in western Canada, and the freight on the two carloads of calves to bring The to Hensall. 76boy enlisted. in the project each bought a Calf. kept it and fed it over the winter, then brought it out last Fridayfor Show and vale. The financial side- of the project will be tidied up next week, when each of the 76 boys Will collect what prize Money he has won, and the auction sale price of his calf, and out of those funds will sette up for his share of the bank loan that financed the buying of the calves, The ealves were judged In the ring b y Ephraim Snell Clinton g Y ,i ,., , , and McKenzie I.1'a1 Ayr.. The showmanship judging Was don© by William Turnbull, Brussels; James Snell, Clinton; Lorne Hackett, Dungannon, and William Taylor, Belgrave. Auctioheer W. S. O'Neil, Denfield, auctioned the calves. Most of the detail work of sup- ervision and organization had been done during the winter. by John Butler, assistant agricultural rep- resentative for Huron, who visited every one of the 76 farms during the feeding period. Officers of the Hensall Feeder Calf Club, who helped with the staging of the day's events were: Jack Kinsman, chairman; Neil Campbell, secretary -treasurer; Al- lan Walper, Al Morgan, committee members.
