The mystery parcel notice scheme which is alleged to have victimized hundreds of residents of Western On­ tario points has been partially solv­ ed by the arrest in Montreal, of Geo. F. Fletcher, an English accountant with offices in that city, it was made known recently. Several letters were received by residents of Exeter and community. The racket first came to light when persons receiving notices from “The Interprovincial Forwarding Com­ pany” which called upon them to for­ ward money for charges on a parcel alleged to be addressed to them drew to the attention of officials ot the Royal Bank of Canada that the bank was named on the notice let­ ter-head as bankers flor the Forward­ ing Company. Headquarters in Montreal were im­ mediately notified and the investi­ gation turned over to the Better Busiess Bureau in that city. The re­ sult wias the arrest within two weeks of Fletcher. Fletcher, who is held on $100.00 bail for a voluntary statement, is thought to be a tool of someone else He explains it was his method to send a circular note, such as is is­ sued by regular forwarding compan­ ies, to addresses selected at random The circular stated: “We are holding a parcel addressed to you on which charges are $.9-3 and three cents in­ surance.” When lie received -the money it was his intention to for­ ward a two-pound box of chocolates Fletcher received 18 remittances but there was no evidence that he had sent any chocolates.

SPECIAL AUDIT OF COUNTY BOOKS A special audit into the books of the treasurer of Huron County, dat­ ing back to January, 1932, has been authorized by the warden’s commit­ tee of the County Council. The au­ dit has already been started by F. A. Gibbs, C .A., of Stratford, and two assistants. An audit dating back to the first of this year had been com­ pleted when the warden’s commit­ tee met and instructed the auditors to also include the year 1932. On their report for 1932 will depend how far back the audit will go, War­ den Ballantyne has stated. Reorganize Police The warden’s committee also au­ thorized High County and Provin­ cial Constable P. E. McCoy to -reor­ ganize the county police force. Some 80 constables, many of them aged and inactive, are to be weeded out and a capable man appointed for each township. Equipment and manuals are to be issued and pos­ sibly instruction classes held at Goderich. In this way, by having local constables investigate petty complaints in their own municipal­ ties, instead of having constables from Goderich do this work, it is anticipated that the cost of admin­ istration in Huron County can be greatly reduced. The death occurred in London on Friday, July 7th at the residence ot his daughter Mrs. Si. Covey, of .John Stewardson in his 81st year. The funeral was held on Sunday from residence of his son Mr. William Stewardson in Lucan, with interment in St. Ja,mes’ cemetery, Clandeboye The fishermen at Grand Bend have had an excellent season and the catch so far has been considerably above the average.
