next week, it is considered more than
likely that the 'rOustaDouts'' Will also
be in evidence, and the police request
that people be especially careful about
leaving articles of value in unprotected

homes when leaving. Many farmers
who drive to the city have a failing OF
ieaving articles in their vehicles, and if
that is done during fair week. it is
quite likely that parcels will be miss

are also notified that they should dou-
BILE their precautions to prevent losses

local police force hope to cope with III,

down to the minimum.
