The safe and the cash box it had held were located at widely separated points south and east of town by police investigating, the robbery. The time of the robbery is believed to have been between 4 o'clock and 6 o'clock. William Bradshaw, a milk delivery man, discovered the front door had been smashed when he arrived at the plant .just before six. a.m. He found that the door of the creamery had apparently been pried open with crowbars. Night Constable John Currie said he had last visited the creamery about 4 a.m and, found nothing un- usual at that time. There was every indication that three or four thieves had entered the office to carry away the heavy safe, which, although on wheels, could not be moved by one person. The battered safe was discovered by Coupty Constable Helmar Snell of Seaforth, who followed the tracks, of what appeared to be a light truck which had been backed up to the front door and into which the safe had evidently been pushed. The safe was found near the Red Tavern school- on the Staffa road. The strong box, smashed open and the cash taken, was found rater at Fullerton Corners, south of Mitchell, about 16 miles from Seaforth. Busi- ness documents and records, also in the safe, were untouched and were back in the creamery office Friday afternoon, returned by Constable Snell who found them. Egmondvllle United Church. Rev.
