THIEVES GOT LITTLE FOR THEm TROUBLE Fry & Blackhall’s Factory and Stew­ art’s Glove Works Entered. On Friday night thieves attempted to rob the. safes of two places of bus­ iness here. At the .Stewart Glove Works they had no trouble getting into the safe as the door was held shut only by the day lock. They pull­ ed the books out of the safe in search of money but got nothing as the re­ ceipts for that day had been taken from the safe by Mr. Stewart. At Fry & BlackhaU’s an attempt ■was made to open the safe but it was not successful. The safe was locked and attempts were made to drill holes in the back of the safe. Frustrated in this operation they jimmed cash drawer and took $20 box. They wandered about and took some tools from chell’s box. This box was locked and they broke it open. It is "thought that when they, could not open the safe they went r to procure the safe. The job effort of experts and copies of the finger print marks they left behind were taken. It is hoped by this means the culprits will be apprehended. the petty from the the shop Jim Mit- on a search of the shop tools with which to open does not appear to be the Rummage Sale and Sale of Home Baking On Saturday afternoon and evening, October 31st, the Women’s Auxiliary to the Wingham General Hospital will hold a sale of home baking and an afternoon tea in the Council Cham­ ber.

The Anniversary Services held in the United Church on Sunday were attended by large congregations both morning and evening. The special preacher for the occasion was the Rev. Sidney Davidson, of Bowmanville, a former pastor, who was welcomed not only by the members of the church but by many other citizens who were very happy to see and hear him again, The Scripture lesson at the morn­ ing service was the 5tli chapter of Matthew and the responsive reading was from the Psalms 42 and>43. Mr, Davison chose two texts for his ser­ mon, the first, Zechariah, 4th chap­ ter, 6th verse “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts,” and secondly, the 10th verse of the 6th chapter of Mat­ thew, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth even as it is in hea­ ven.” The people of Israel had been passing through ” bad experiences and God was displeased with them. Better days came, prosperity returned the change came not with war by.' the power of the spirit. In Lord’s Prayer the Lord taught Disciples how to' pray. Has the pray­ er been answered? Has God’s will been done? In tlje mind of our Lord the change was not to be instant but ultimately will be accomplished.

Sleeping Sickness Victim Dies Attacked over five weeks ago with what was first thought to be influ­ enza, but which developed into ence­ phalitis, or sleeping sickness, Herbert Johnston, aged 36, Goderich Town­ ship farmhand, died Saturday morn­ ing, only a few hours after he had showed signs of improvement. The patient, under constant care • of a nurse, was forcefully fed at regular intervals during his illness. He av­ eraged 16 hours’ sleep a day, was aw­ akened with great difficulty, and even then was in a semi-comatose state. TRIPLE V CLASS ELECTS PRESIDENT New Officers Were Installed Wingham's now celebrated non-de- nominational fellowship group, The Triple V, succeeded in electing a member to fill the vacant presidency of the group on .Sunday last, when, after considerable discussion, nomin­ ations were called for, Frank Collar was proposed, and unanimously ac­ cepted by the group as its new pre­ siding officer. Frank lias been an enthusiastic member of the Sunday af­ ternoon class for more than two years and, while there may be members senior to him in length of service, there is undoubtedly no more sincere and energetic worker than himself. The newly elected officers of Triple V, Frank Collar, President, Vice Pres­ ident, Herb Fuller, Secretary, How­ ard Bedford, and Treasurer, Harold Wild, were inducted into office in a solemn and impressive ceremony con­ ducted by E. S. Copeland, Honorary Leader and original organizer of the Triple V. "As officers of the class it shall be your duty to give leadership in those tilings-for which the class stands and to those ends for which the class was formed. May it never be said that during yotiy term of office any young man in Ibis community not now at­ tending a Sunday School, escaped your sincere influence to attend the Sunday School to which he naturally belongs, this class providing for those whose Sunday gr no place for them,” said Mi id.

The order covers the four townships of Albemarle, Eastnor, Lindsay and Sft Edmunds, and furth­ er states that no dogs will be permit­ ted. It has been reported that the deer on the peninsula are quite num­ erous an-1 have done considerable damage to farm crops, so no doubt the farmers of that district will wel­ come the news that the hunters will get a chance to try and dispose of at least some of them.
