"when you raise 10 kids you don't have much left to be rich with." In explaining his nick-name, Bill reported be used to work in a private bank in Dashwood own- ed by Joe Snell. "I swept the floors when I was a kid and Joe gave are that name," he stated. However, while he may not be rich by monetary standards, all who meet him know he's had a "rich life" and one that has been lived by the use of his wits to provoke people who can't think fast enough to know they freeze water to make ice in Florida, or that they've never really seen a sausagebangingup in a butcher shop, because as Bill explains, they hang down, Ready Mix CONCRETE pi ont 235-0833 Residence 228-6951 C.A.

On both occasions he started out with very little cash in his pocket, paying his way by sharp- ening scissors for housewives whenever he needed some spend- ing money. "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 nth Regiment. It was here that he proposed to his wife, although she was still back in Canada at her home in Bres- lau, 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 absense. "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 knuw how many grand- children," Bill stated when ask- ed, "but there's quite a few." 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 true," he re- ports, "but I made it from Wing- ham to Exeter one day without my motor running." He explained that a tie-rod was broken and he kept asking passing motorists for a push to the nearest gas station. How- ever, when he got there he wait- ed until they had gone and then he would shove the car down the road himself and start the same request again. Due to the fact that Bill car- ries the nick-name "Banker", many people feel he is quite well WI hear rally report --tell of local industry Study prophets at Chiselhurst The October meeting of Chisel- burst UCW was held in the church schoolroom with fifteen members present.

A pretty fall wedding took place in Teeswater United Church, Sat- urday, October 7, when Beverley Jean Wall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morley Wall, Holyrood and Harry Moir, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Moir of Hensall were unit- ed in marriage. Rev. Mr. Downing officiated in the double ring ceremony. Mrs. Kay Smith, Teeswater was organ- ist and soloist was Miss Janet Whitehead, Teeswater, cousin of the bride. Given in marriage by her , fath- er, the bride chose afloor-length gown of peau de soie with lace trim and long lily point sleeves. Her train trimmed with lace, fell softly from her shoulders. Her veil was of nylon tulle, caught by a headpiece of crown jewels. She carried a cascade of yellow rose buds and green ivy. Miss Jean Doupe of London was matron of honor. She wore moss green peau de sole with matching headpiece. The brides- maids, Misses Elda and Doris Wall, London: Miss Lois Wall, Holyrood, sisters of the br i d e were dressed identical to maid of honor. Flower girl Miss Linda Wall, sister of the bride, wore white peau de soie with green sash and bow, with matching headpiece. She carried a basket of yellow and bronze mums.

When he sold vegetables, his call as he went from house to house was: "Potatoes—limburg- er cheese and kittens," lie ex- plained that he started selling 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, offer- ing the pets at two for 15 cents. The Dashwood jokester oper- ated a hot dog and hamburg booth on the main street, and was one of the first sidewalk concessions in the resort. He operated booths in other parts of town and also had a six-table pool room in the pre- sent site of Mrs. Ravelle's gift shOppe. After his years in Grand Bend, Bill returned to London where he worked out as a handyman and gardener, but his home in Broughdale burned down and he moved to his present abode in Dashwood. He gained his livelihood by growing Dutch onion sets and peddling fish. "When I drove up people always used to ask if the fish were running," he stated, "so 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 Company, but this was marred by an in- jury when he tripped and fell on his head. He spent six weeks at each of the two London hospitals and then six more at the Compen- sation Board's hospital in Tor- onto. However, his accident didn't change him at all and he had the hospital in a tizzy one day when he reported he spotted a bed bug in his room mate's watch. "He got in between the ticks," Bill reported to the doctor who was almost ready to start a ma- jor extermination job on the en- tire floor. Following his release from hospital, Bill started into "sales," selling raffle tickets throughout Western Ontario. He carried a clipboard and custom- ers could have their pick of up to a dozen tickets that ranged from cars, boats, animals and money. His best selling job was for the Strathroy Lions and he re- ports selling 800 books one year. Bill received 25 cents a book for selling most of the tickets and reported his returns "were not bad." He also had fair success in buying tickets, winning a bed- room suite in Thedford, a toast- er in Zurich and an extensive supply of groceries in Clinton.
