The intruder with the aid of a short ladder bad climbed to the roof of an adjoining building and pulling the ladder up after him us­ ed it to climb the higher walls. Af­ ter opening t'he manhole the thief was able to let himself down with a rope. The blinds on the windows at the rear of .the store were raised to admit what light there was.

After travelling between seven , and eight thousand miles in an opeh Model T touring car over a period of three months during which , time they crossed the Western prai­ ries and the Rocky Mountains, Miss Annie Simmons, of town, in com­ pany with three other young ladies have returned home having enjoyed a trip that will long be remembered. Accompanying Miss Simmons were Miss Marguerite ‘Smith, of Watford; Miss Eva Copeland, of Listowel and Miss Alicea Palmer, of London, all graduate nurses of Victoria Hospit­ al. The young ladies, with camping outfits and in good spirits, left here on the 15th of June prepared for whatever might come -on their .pro­ posed trip to the Pacific coast. Go­ ing by way of Sarnia and Port Huron they travelled north through the state of Michigan, crossing the Strait of Mackinaw and continuing on to Duluth. They passed through Minnesota and entered Manitoba at Emmerson going from there to Win­ nipeg. In Saskatchewan they visit­ ed at Fillmore where Miss Simmons formerly lived. They also visited at Reginq, Saskatoon and other places going as far north as Prince Albert. They were at Calgary for the annual stampede and it was there some of the girls saw the Mounties ■and cowboys for the first time. On the spare tire of the car the girls carried a tire cover advertising /Exeter Old Boy Week and wh,ere- ever they went this attracted much attention and served as a means -of getting acquainted as they were (fre­ quently stopped by former residents r Particularly was this noticable at' the Calgary Stampede. ' At the popular summer resort of f Banff the girls camped for a week = and then went on to Lake Louise. __ . p-ri tdpc artvT Taking the Banff-Windermere High- KAL1 UKto AK1V1 way they motored to Spokane, Wash-1 Migg Laura Elliott, while stand- and then up through the Okanogan on a c^ajr Saturday last, had the Valley to Kelowna and Kamloops ; misf<)rtune to overbalance and fall and then down the Fraser Canyon | to Chilliwack and Vancouver. They spent a week in Vancouver and at Stanley Park and then started the return trip south to Everett, Wash., and over the new highway to Wen­ atchee and through the Stevens Pass to Spokane. From there they visit­ ed the Yellowstone National Park spending two days and then passing through t|ie States of Nebraska, Iowa and Ulionis they came to 'Chicago and then home. Needless to say, it was a wonder-, ful trip. “It was tfun all the way” said Miss "Simmons. At Vancouver one of the girls remarked that they 'had been free from tire trouble and soon after they picked up a nail. At Sarnia the patch placed on the inner tube at Vancouver became loose and they had their second experience at changing tires. Crossing the mountains for miles at a time the car travelled in low while making the grades and once in low it was impossible to again go into high until the top of the grade was reached. When they landed in Vancouver only two cyclinders of the car were working. Different times the clutch bands became loose and the girls became experts at (fixing them. They camped along t'he iway using cabins only when it rained and they prepared their own meals enroute. On the homeward journey the girls were coming through the mountains travelling, only in the day time as one of the headlights and the tail light of the car were out of com­ mission. They -had stopped near the bottom of a grade behind a , light truck when their, car was rammed from the rear by another car $nd in turn their car struck the truck ahead which took to t’he ditch and was con­ siderably damaged. The girls were unhurt but a tire on their car was blown out. The driver of the car responsible for the accident, pur­ chased a new tire, fixed up the lights and paid the expenses of the girls while the repairs were being made. It tfas a lucky break. This was their only accident. paring the two months, the girls purchased 60 quarts of oil and 312 gallons of gas. In their book-keep­ ing they were two cents out when they arrived home and they conclud­ ed that they must have been robbed in Chicago. We have been told the average cost for the round trip but the figures are hot for publication as they would scarcely be credited anyway.
