NIGHT RAINBOWS--Reading the
story about night rainbows in last
week's paper, Mr. William Mundell
was reminded of one he saw some
forty years ago. Driving home in a
cutter near Belmore, one winter's
night after visiting a sick friend, he
saw a perfect bow in the eky to the
south. Mr. Mundell reports that ii
was neither raining or snowing, yet
the rainbow was visible for over half
an hour. He attributes it to the ;ler-
them lights, which were very bright
that night.

to Dunlop's Shoe Store, across the

THIS WAY IN--Still in the throes
of moving into his new store, John
Pattison ran into a bit of a snag last
week. After building and painting a
beautiful stand for his appliances, to
be used in the new store, John found
he couldn't get it through the door-
way, A suggestion that he break a
hole in the wall might have been tak-
en seriously if some one hadn't come
up with the bright idea of taking the

Henry Elliott, of RR 5, Lucknoue
was arrested at his home by Wing-
ham and Walkerton detachment of the
Provincial Police on Saturday night,
on a charge of attempted murder, fol-
lowing the Sten-gun shooting-up of
an Embro farm house early Saturday
morning, Elliott was picked up by
Pie:Medal Police, together with a
companion who was later released,
shortly after he arrived in Wingham

The shooting at Embro had touched
off a widespread man hunt which had
led police to Hickson where one of
two stolen Sten guns was found, and
to Stratford and Wingham on the trail
of Elliott. Meanwhile Robert Long-
champs, 19 Wollesley Barracks, Lon-
don, was picked up by the Einbro
police investigating a car parked out-
side the Oxford Farmers' Co-Opera-
tive there. A third man Thomas Wil-
liam Boyd, is thought to be in the
Wingham district and is being sought
by police for questioning.
The possibility of a fourth member
of the gang being at large came to
light when a Woodstock man reported
giving a ride to a young man who
smoked nervously and was wet and
tired, The hitch-hiker was picked up
in Hickson about 8 a.m, and when
about three miles from Stratford is
said to have told the driver to drive
on if he didn't want any trouble.
Police are investigating the theory
that the gang of which Elliott is al-
leged to have been a member might
in some way be linked with a minor
crime wave in Perth County, During
the past week there have been several
creak-ins in the Stratford, St. Marys
and Mitchell district.
