Smiley's wife, a very attractive young woman, is becoming accus- tomed to strangers rushing up to her at weeklies' conventions and exclaiming: "How can you put up with it?" In his column, he refers to her as The Old Battleaxe. There is a similar lack of sentimentality when he speaks of his youngsters as "little monsters". Biggest reaction he ever had to a column was after an account of his first deer-hunting trip, last fall. A Toronto executive, spotted it in his hometown weekly, and wrote for six extra copies to send to friends. A week later he wrote for 12 more. Several other re- quests for copies of the same col- umn were received. As late as June of this year a summer visitor from. Cleveland, Ohio, walked into the Echo office and asked for copies of it. Samples from that column give an idea: "After a few days in the bush, all hunters are cast in the same mold. They eat like pigs, look like harry apes, and smell like a gathering of venerable goats." ' . . . if you see a fellow being dragged off at the end of a rope, about this time next year, kicking and screaming, that'll be me going deer hunting again." Another popular column was one defending the pig. It was copied in two swine breeders jour- nals, and resulted in a 12-pound ham being delivered just before Christmas, courtesy of a packing house sales manager. Women react more violently to the column than men, says Bill, adding: "Just as they do to every- thing else." His tongue-in-cheek references to the "soft" life of the modern housewife have raised many a feminine hackle. His blunt observations on the way modern children are spoiled usually draw fire, too. But the fact that he includes himself among the cul- prits softens the wrath. Angry Reader A woman walked into his office one day, after a column on the posterior appearance of female tourists in tight pants, and, con- fessed Bill, I. thought she was going to slug me. She was really busting a gusset. It was only after I assured her that I was talking about the OTHER women, not the pretty ones, that she simmered down," he recalls. F. P. Galbraith, of the Red Deer (Alta.) Advocate went so far, in writing to Bill of his column, to say "It's the best thing we've had in our paper for 50 years." Like all weekly editors, Bill is up to his ears in community ac- tivities. He is on the town coun- cil, president of the local tourist association, secretary of the Red Cross, director of the fall fair board, president, Bruce County Publishers, etc. As a result, he and the column usually battle it out in the small hours, to catch the deadline. It requires two to four hours for writing and revis- ion. Typesetting, folding and mail- ing take another two hours. Some people have urged him to publish the best of the columns in book form, A U.S. syndicate is interested. But he's not getting excited about it, An ex-fighter pilot who was shot down in 1944 and spent the rest of the war behind barbed wire, he figures he is living on borrowed time, and has no particular desire to start scrambling for fame and fortune. "Life is too sweet," says Bill.
