Robert Miller, 21, account- ant of The Royal Bank of Can- ada branch at Woodbridge, for- rnerly teller et Clinton brands, and son of Deputy Reeve W. J. Muller, Clinton; figured proinin eptly as one of the victims of a holdup of the bank early Theory day afternoon last. In the robbery, three armed bandits escaped with $9,646 after firing six shots at witnesses on the main street. They lett be- hind eight black feathers -osten- sibly for the light meinbers of the staff. The holdup occurred shortly after 2 p.m., Robert Miller, said that two men entered the bank. They were wearing masks. "This is a holdup," one said. "I actually thought they were kidding," Miller said. "Then a third man, who seemed to be the leader, came in. He vaulted' the rail and poked a gun at me. "'This is a stickup - I'm not fooling,' he said." The men apparently were com- pletely at home in the bank, Mil- ler said. They knew the number of persons employed. They no- ticed the absence of the manager and wanted to know yyhere he was. The leader of the bandits drove Miller at gun point to the vault as his two assistants began scoop- ing money from the tellers' money drawers into cloth bags. The main vault door was open but the two Royal Scarlet, Degree Exemplified by Fergus Royal Scarlet Chapter, District of Huron, held a meeting in the Orange Hall, Clinton, when a degree team from Fergus, headed by Worshipful Commander Wil- liam Ste:war.t, formerly of Clin- ton, exemplified the Royal Scar- let Degree on a candidate.

Wor- shipful Commander Stewart re- plying suitably. interior safes were locked. "Open the damn thing quick," the gunman demanded, prodding Miller with his gun. "I told frim I didn't know how," Miller said. "Who does?" the gunman ask- ed, "The bank manager," Miller said. The gunmen asked where the manager was, and Miller told h'[in that E. G. Newans was at' the music festival. The gunman prod- ded Miller back into the main room of the bank. "Apparently the guy here likes music," he told his companions.

The Campaign this year was the most important one that has been undertaken since World War II, and it is therefore reassuring to note the support provided by Clinton.
