450 TURKEYS STOLEN IN SUSSEX, DESPITE VERY STRONG GUARD
At Farm Carrying 12,000 Birds (N.Z.P.A.—REUTER CABLE) (Rec. 11,0). LONDON, December 16. A turkey breeder, ex-Wing Commander B. Bowley, with Christmas approaching, did everything he could chink of to make his twelve thousand turkeys “thief proof”. He floodlit the entire area of his one hundred and sixty acre holding at Einstead, in Sussex. He tethered Alsatian dogs and bull terriers round the boundaries, and had a guard patrolling with a shotgun. Nevertheless, turkeys are so valuable that thieves managed to “snaffle” four hundred and fifty of them.
