was
asked
by
his

to
walk

along

Before
Megetto

he

"Mr.
Megetto
is
a
fine,
man
and
reliable
worker,"
said
John
Currie
about
his
employee.
Coming
to
Canada

to
work
hard
and
be
thrifty.

the
choice
to
work
at
what
he
liked
and
save
his
money
as
he
wanted.
It
was
his
privilege
to
save
his
money
without
the
help
of
institutions.
That
was
his
wish.
That
was
his
freedom.
And
that
he
did.
Local
police
are
keeping
a
close
watch
and
have
notuied
other
districts
to
be
on
the
alert
for
the
missing
robber.
The
rest
of
Mr.
Megetto's
money
is
