Biggest loss was sustained by Or- ville Oke's poolroom where $119.00 in cash and five cartons,of cigarettes were taken Monday night, Discov- ery of the break-in was made by Bruce IIodgert, a tenant in the Royal apartments over the poolroom, Tues- day morning when he noticed the back door of the poolroom open and the lock lying on the floor. He noti- fied Provincial 'Constable Ferris who telephoned Mr. Oke. This is the second time within a year the pool- room has been robbed, At Seaforth Lumber Ltd. the thieves smashed an adding machine to pieces, evidently in the dark mis- taking it for a cash register. Nothing was stolen, •but the damage to the machine will cause a sizeable loss. Entry was gained by breaking the glass in the door and unfastening the lock, Across the street Frank Grieve's A. Station was robbed 'of a small ;quantity of cigarettes, entry being made through a back window. Roweliffe's garage was entered and about $40 taken, An attempt to get inside Daly Motors apparently failed. Two wind- ows of the back shop were broken, but being of shatter -proof glass it is believed the thieves did not succeed in getting inside the building. Blood stains on the glass looked as if the pane had been struck by a bare fist, On .Sunday night M. E.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY ANNUAL MEETING Arthur Nicholson was re-elected president of Seaforth Agricultural Society at the annual meeting on Thursday afternoon, R. W. Camp- bell and Rebt. E. McMillan were re- elected vice presidents. "The best Fair in the history of the Seaforth Agricultural Society, with the best showing of cattle, especially," was the remark made of Seaforth's 1953 Fall Fair by the chairman, president Arthur Nichol- son. He paid special tribute to those who, in one•day, built a large cattle shed, "It meant a lot of sweat, blood, and tears for some of us," Mr. Niche olson said, to which Oliver Ander- son replied: "Well, there was sweat, and probably some blood, but•I don't think there were any tears.. We were busy," he said, "but we had a good time." Mr, Nicholson commended the Chamber of Commerce for its exhib- its in the arena, for the entertain- ment provided there the first night of the Fair, and for the cooperation shown. G. W. Montgomery, Huron coun- ty's agricultural representative, ad- dressed the meeting, giving construc- tive criticism. He stated that in 1953 the Seaforth Fair was the only•one in the county that had rain to mar events;. this also cut down gate re- ceipts as the rain came in the mid- afternoon. He considered that Sea - forth Fair •ought logically to have a "Class B" rating, as it has a better set-up than most of the societies in the county. He suggested that the societY continue with its beef and dairy calf clubs, its grain clubs, and its Cham- pion showmanship classes for beef and swine clubs. "The showmanship classes of last year for the Senator Golding trophy," he said, "were ex- ceeded only by the Queen's Guineas class at the Royal Winter Fair," These classes, he pointed out, can qualify for' the provincial grant, and the three grain clubs sponsored last year cost the society only $75. "The societies making the best advances are those that are making changes," he said, "changes to fol- low the trend of the times." The following were named as clubf alb, leaders for Robert 64W. baby Cmpbell, James M. Scott; dairy calf club, Wil- liam Boyd, Irvin Trewartha; swine club, Ken Stewart, Robert E. McMil-I Ian. The grain club leaders will be l selected at a later meeting. In his financial statement, secre- tary -treasurer, J. F. Snow reported total receipts of $6,763; and total expenditures of $7,166.
