BANDITS THWARTED
IN ATWOOD THEFT
In an attempt to apprehend an ant-
ed bandit trio that failed in efforts to
steal the safe of the village post office
at Atwood early Thursday morning,
Provincial police assisted by a number
of armed villagers, combed the stir-
rounding district without success.
Theft of the safe was prevented
• when Mrs. Lorne Vallante, wife of the
county constable, awakened by the
the 500-pound safe, roused her hus-
band.
The bandits made their escape on
foot following a running gun battle
with Constable Lome Valiance in
which six shots were exchanged be-
tween the constable and the bandit's
lookout, posted at the front- door of
the building,
• Following a tip received' from Ar-
thur Spillett, district farmer, that he
had teen two men running for cover
of email woods a short distance from
his farm, provincial police squad cars
raced to the areao situated 21h Miles
west of here but failed to fled any
trace of the men.

1101VICK LIONS HELD
OUTSTANDING FROLIC
Large Crowd Jammed Wroxeter
Street Thursday Night
Favoured with ideal weather, though
rain threatened from mid-afternoon on,
the fourth annual street frolic of the
Howick Lions Club, held in Wroxeter
on Thursday evening, August 8th., was
in many ways the most outstanding
success in the Club's history. •
Proceedings started with a snappy
softball game between Clifford "Swing
Skirts" and the Brussels girls, leaders
in their respective groups. The latter
team won 'by a 9-5 score, giving the
,Clifford girls their first loss of the
season. "Fish" Kemp of Listowel, of-
ficiated as umpire.
The Lucknow Pipe Band provided
entertainment at the park and on the
street throughout the proceedings. A
midway concession, replete with mer-
rygo-round 'and ferris wheel, proved a
very popular innovation, particularly
among the young folk.
The only disappointment was the
comparatively small attendance at the
concert in the Hall, by the Happy
Cousins, Concert Company of Elmira.
Last year this troupe drew a packed
house in Gorrie, and we do not think
the drop this year was any reflection
on the artists; rather, there were just
too many attractions outside on such
a nice evening.
The old-time dance in the Hall to
music by the CKNX Ranch Boys with
George Jordan as floor manager, and
the modern jitney • on the street with
Wilbee's Orchestra were both highly
popular.
The bingo and other games as usual
also the large refreshment booth did
a thriving business throughout the
night.
At about 12.30 o'clock the draw was
made for the eighteen major prizes on
which tickets had been sold for weeks
past, Ken Edgar was master-of-cere-
monies for this interesting part of the
proceedings, with L. E. Cardiff, M. P .
for North Huron, and John W, Hanna,
M. P.P,, for Huron-Bruce riding mak-
ing the draws alternately. Each ad-
dressed the gathering briefly over the
public address system
'
as did also
Lion President "Mac" McKenney, who
thanked all for their patronage of the
Howick Club's big effort. .
The winners of the various prizes
were as follows: Sparton Radio and

enterprises.
