THE n.ESHKRTON ADVANCE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 38, 1932 Acclamation Given To Village Council Fleshertoii nominations went off very quietly on Friday night and one new face will appear on the Council board for 11)32. H. A. McCauley is again ReeVe and the Council is com- posed of C. N. Richardson, G. B. Wel- ton, J. 0. Dargavel and A. Etown. PVed Mathewson, of last year's board was nominated but withdrew. About 60 ratepayers were present. Mr. John Pedlar of town was chos- en chairman for the eighth successive year. He opened his remarks by thanking those present for appointing him chairman and then stated that he thought the back street dweller had not received a square deal from the council. He also thought that the public school board should make the noon hour recess one hour in place of an hour and a half. Mr. Pedlar's speech was of a longer duration than those of the entire council and he closed by saying that with that speech his name should appear in the paper, as it had not after last year's nomination. Messrs. Richardson and Welton each gave a short statement of their year's work. Reeve McCau- ley stated a number of facts as to the conduct of the council the past year and answered Mr. Pedlar's chp.i "-i stating that the back streets were i.-. first clas"; sh?:pe and that the residents thp' . jn iiad received good treatment. ^•^:;v^ McCauley stated that the work at County Council could be finished in half the time il two more stenographers were em- ployed to assist in the reports. All the councillors requested ques- tions on the year's work, but theii efforts must l;ave received unanimous support by the ratepayers, as there •were no queries made. School trustees jiominated ^vere: Messrs. Robt. Richardson, G. E. Henry W. S. Inkster and Alex. Miller, the three former qualifying.

THE ADVANCE The ratepayers in .\rtemesia town- ship decided on Friday afternoon to hold an election for the offices ot Reeve and Deputy-Reeve, and allow- ed the councillors in by acclamation. Mr. Garnet Magee, Deputy-Reeve the past year, decided to try a step up and will have as his opponent Mr. John A. Davis, who had formerly held the office of Deputy-Reeve for two years. Then there will be two of last year's council, Wm. Burnett and C. D. Meldrum, try for the office of Deputy-Reeve. Both have had the same lengrth of service in the council.

Just before three o'clock, when the staff was preparing to close, two men appeared. While one went to the teller's wicket and asked to have a one dollar bill changed, the second man entered the manager's office where Mr. GJbb, the ledger keeper was operating a typewriter. At the same moment Manager A. E. Preston entered his office from the rear. The second man held up the manager and Mr. Gibb, while the teller, Mr. Peter Dow, was handling out the change for the dollar, found a revolver looking at him and he was requested to join l-he other two. In this way revol- vers were pointing at the three bank men from two angles. The thret men were then herded into the vault Here the robbers secured the money by making Mr. Dow open the safe. They then demanded a screwdriver which they declared was inside, but failing to get it departed in a car. Three minutes after they had gone Manager Preston and the two assist- ants were free and the alarm was giv- en. Owen Sound and I'helburne were notified but the telephone could not get in touch with the Durham con- stable. Had this been accomplisher! no doubt a different story would have been told. It was after four o'clock when the Durham man was commun- icated with" and by that time the rot)- bers could have been forty miles away. Over $6,000 was secured by the ban- dits, but in their haste they overlook- ed quite a large sum of money. The supposed bandits' car was seen in town that day and the number had actually been taken by members oi the bank staff. In the forenoon two men had enter- ed the bank and asked for credit presenting an alleged bank recom niendation, and stated that they were fur buyers. At that time Mr. Pres- ton was suspicious and took the num- ber of their car, which stood across the street at the side of Down's gar- age. When a check-'i'i was made of this car it was found tliat it belonged to the Salvation Army, but at the time of writing had not been discover- ed, as it was said to be out of the city. This is an interesting phase of the holdup anJ may lead to some- thing definite when followed where it is supposed to lead. There is a strong probability that the criminals wiU be apprehended in the near fu- ture. The robbers were not masked when they enterd the bank, but had donned masks when the robbery was taking place. The street door was locked from the inside and all blinds pulled throughout the affair, then they walked quietly out, as though they were ordinary customers, enter- ed their car and started south at high speed. They turned, however, at the high school corner and headed for the road towards Durham, succeeding in getting clear away. Inspector Miller of the Toronto police force came up on Sunday and submitted a number of photographs of criminals to local people and offi- cials of the bank, with what results Only Three Weeks Until Christmas You Have a Wide Choice Now Our stock of seasonable merchandise is exceptionally good just now.

The Owen .Sound Sun-Ttimes gave an excellent report of the affair in its Thursday issue, having sent a re- porter down the evening of the hold- up. It secured a detailed statement from the bank officials. This state- ment we take the liberty of copying: "We were just closing up the books for the day; the money, with the ex- ception of a small amount in the teller's cage, had been placed in the safe, inside the vault, and all the regulations of the bank had been com- plied with," said Mr. Preston. He then went on to state that with all three herded behind the vault door, with their faces to the wall, and with strict orders not to turn around, Mr. Dow was ordered to come out and into the Vault, and to unlock the safe. The latter hesitated at fii-st, but was told to hurry, ani! i": ~ ."cw seconds the money was being ^j^oped up and put into the pocket of the bandit who had held up the teller, while the other one continued to keep Manager Pres- ton and Ledger-Keeper Gibb with their faces to the wall. Prior, how- ever, to the entrance to the vault, and with all three men behind the vault door, the bigger man of the two took the precaution to pull down the blind on the front window and to lock the front door. It was well he did so, for just a moment later a customer was heard to try the front door, but thinking that the bank had closed for the day, apparently went away. It took but a few moments for the bandits to fill, their pockets â€" they carried no bag or grip â€" and get away. In their hurry, however, they overlooked about $4,000 in currency which was in the safe, and which was right at their hand, but grabbed sev- eral packages of bills, mostly $5 and $10 bills, along with some small bills and some silver in the teller's drawer, and closing the door of the vault aftsi ordering all three men into it, made a hurried getaway in their Durant cjar, Kvhich stood just outside the door, with engine running, and start- ed off in the direction of Durham. "How long were the bandits in the bank?" was asked. "I do not think they were here morethan five minutes," said Ledger- Keeper Gibb, and this was concurred in by Manager Preston and Teller Dow, who stated that the men worked fast. "The bandits were just as nervous as we were," said Manager Preston, "as their voices quavered and the hand that held the gun was unsteady, but it was apparent that they nieanl business and we could not help oui- selves. Once the bandits got us into the Vault and shut the door it did not take us long to get out, in fact I think we were out in less than three minutes. When they put us in thej told us they would not lock the door but the bolt clicked all the same and we were locked in."

Mr. Engel comes here from the county of Oxforo where he held a similar position. He is not a stranger to this part of the country, for he comes originally from Elmwood, being a son of Mr. F. J. Engel of Elmwood, where he spent j his early life. Mr. Engel has arrived in Markdale and will be the assistant of Mr. T Stewart Cooper at the office there Mr. Langton, who has occupied this post, left last week to take a similar position in Norfolk county. An excellent circular containing a brief but comprehensive discussion of the principles and conditions of share renting of farms has just been pre- pared by the Department of Agricul- tural Economics at 0..\.C. Anyone interested may secure a copy by writing to that department. The two main plans of rental arc set forth, namely crop share renting and live stock and ci'op share renting. Many modifications of these are sug- gested and discussed. Tables are given showing satisfactory propor- tionnal division of expenditures and returns as between landlord and ten- ant, under varying conditions of soil fertility, buildings and equipment, and market facilities. The circular also contains a form of agreement which should prove very useful, both to ten- ants and to those who have farms tc rent, in helping to avoid some of tht pitfalls common with loosely stated or with unwritten agreements.

Dear Mr. Editor: The prolonged period ol hard times has created a most difficult problem for Ontario's world-famous Hospital for Sick Children, which only the benevolent public can solve. Here It la in a nutshell: The Hospital has nursed In Its cot3 this year 7,694 small sufferers, an increase of 687 over the total of the prevloiis year. In addition 84,202 treatments were given in the great Out-Patlent Department, an increase of 18,092. On one day 520 treatments were recorded In the previous year there was a similar growth In the demand for the merciful ministra- tions of the Hospital. While all this has been going on the amounts of the donations from the iilnd-hearted have decreased by many thousands of dollars, creating the situation ot far more to be done and far less to do it with. The statutory grants obtained by the Hospital fall much short of being sufficient to pay for the actual cost of maintenance of the little patienf.s aJid each additional patient mean'* an added deficit. The task of bridging the gap between the cost of opera- tion and operating Income has usually been accomplished by contri- butions from the benevolent. While the Hospital has retained the major- ity of its friends who kindly donate to its work yearly, and is continually .-iddlng new ones, donations dimin- ished to a somewhat alarming extent In the response to last year's appeal for funds and there has been little improvement in that respect through- out the year. It is unthinkable that any child needing the humane ser- vice provided by the Hospital should be refused. The Trustees are anxious and can only hope that the kind- h-.irted people of the province will see them through the difficulty by a most generous response to tho present appeal. Public benevolence has built tho Hospital for Sick Children to tho proud eminence of being the finest institution of its kind In the world. Its country b»anch at Thlstletown is a recognized model and persons in- terested in child welfare come from all parts of the globe to liispect It. Any child in the Province of Ontario, deformed or diseased, is eligible for admittance to this wonderful insti- tution, where the very finest treat- ment known to medical and surgical science Is at once available. There Is no class or creed distinction. The very best that any Hospital can give is placed within easy reach of the poorest child. Now, more urgently than ever before. Is the Hospital in need of contributions and no amount would be considered too small. Please ask the benevolent in yo»ir commxmlty to help. Tell them that the story of the Hospital, coveting S7 years. Is not that of merely adding cot to cot and ward to ward. It la the story of a battle constantly waged against disease and deformity, with all the advancing resources of the medical and surgical sciences. It is a story of demands which have ever exceeded the fihanclai resources, but which have always been met by generous response to appeals for aid. But ^or this generosity the Hospital would many times have been bankrupt. Ask your readers, please, to prevent It from becoming so now. Faithfully yours, DOUGLAS S. ROBERTSON, Trustee. •vx~x~>«K~x-<">^<^:~:"5~>'>'>«>'X~x~:~:-x~>«~>«x~:"X":~>«>«>«>->-x~>'>«>«K; I Radio Service I WITH NEW MODERN SET AND TUBE TESTER THAT ELIMINATES GUESS WORK If your Radio needs service call ;; WM.
