"It cost 10 cents to go in and we had plenty of fun and still had enough money left over to take some candy home with us," he said. Worked in London When he turned 21, Bill struck off on his own and went to London where he was em- ployed in a cigar box factory owned by Sir Adam Beck. He also did gardening for the noted London industrialist. Bill, from German stock, re- called once that he offered to make Beck some sauerkraut and he cooked it himself be- cause the cooks didn't know how. "They almost chased me out of the house", he reported, "but Sir Adam really enjoyed it, and the cooks even ended up cleaning up the rest of it." Bill then moved to Grand Bend where he sold vegetables and operated booths for close to 30 years. "I was a big shot down here at one time," he jok- ingly quipped. When he sold vegetables, his call as he went from house to house was: "Potatoes — lim- burger cheese and kittens," He explained that he started sel- ling kittens to the campers and he picked up about five cents for each one. However, he upped his price to 10 cents each when the mar- ket would allow, but gave a dis- count for quantity buying, of- fering the pets at two for 15 cents. The Dashwood jokester ope- rated a hot dog and hamburg booth at the present site of the Little Beaver on the main street, and was one of the first sidewalk concessions in the re- sort. He operated booths in other Wirtz of town and. also had a sik-table pool room in the pre- sent site of Miss. Ravelle's gift shonne, Alter his years in Grand Bend, Bill returned to Landon where he worked out as a han- dyman and gardener, but his Mite in Brouglidale burned down and he moved to his me, sent abode in Dashwood. He gained his livelihood by growing Dutch onion sets and peddling fish, "When I draVe tip people always used to ask if the fish were running," he stated, "to I finally painted legs on the fish on the side of my truck," Bill later gave this up and took a job as a flagman with Brennan Construction CoMpahy, but this WAS marred by an in- jury when he tripped and fell On MS head, He spent six weeks at each of the two London hospitals and then six more at the Compen- sation Board's hospital in.

JOTTINGS "They didn't have any scis- sor sharpeners out West," he reported, explaining how his eight-pound machine proved to be so invaluable, Bill's other long trip was dur- ing the First World War when he went overseas to England with the 96th Regiment. It was here that he proposed to his wife, although she was still back in Canada at her home in Breslau, near Kitchener. Although he had only met her once before going overseas, Bill proposed in a letter and was accepted, but when he returned home he didn't even recognize his fiance, because she had changed so much in his ab-• sence. "She wrote once and said we were going to raise chickens and geese and something else," Bill reports, "and, that some- thing else was children, and we raised 10," "I don't know how many grandchildren," Bill stated when asked, "but there's Mille a few," Several rumors One of the several rumors surrounding Bill is that he ac- tually motored all the way from. Florida. With no motor in his car, "That not trite," he re- ports, "but I made it from Winghain to Exeter one day without my motor running," He . explained that a tie-rod wag broken and he kept asking passing motorists 'fora push to the nearest gas station. How- ever, _when lie got there lie waited until they had gone and then he WOW shove the ter down the road himself and start the seine request again.
