garden and grows just
about everything in it. He
works it every day if the
weather permits. He also
does a booming rasp-
berry business. Twenty
or 25 boxes a day are
picked by regular
customers. Bill cans his
own berries every year in
a style that every
raspberry lover is en-
vious of. Last year, he
canned 30 jars for himself
and they are all gone.
When he isn't gar-
dening, Bill might be
found in his basement
woodshop. He does
custom work repairing
antique furniture, and
still turns out the oc-
casional baseball bat. He
built a beautiful pine
blanket box for his
grandso.;, Terry Worsell,
out of pine shelves from
Worseli's old hardware

to church," he laughs.
He remembers the war
days. when Auburn held
Victory Programs.
Hullett and Colborne
would present half of a'
show and East and West
Wawanosh would put on
the other half. Judges
would decide the winner.
There was to be a
Scottish dance for one
show, and Bill and his
buddies found they were
one short. They got Irish-
man Jordie Hamilton to
help out. Jordie "gat all
tanked up" before the
show and insisted on
putting his kilt over has
long underwear.
He rolled up the
longjohns and proceeded
on stage. Naturally, the
underwear fell down
halfway. through yhe
dance.
As long as there are
folks like Bill Craig in
Auburn, with those kinds
of stories to tell, and a
lively past, Auburn will
never lose that fine spirit.

Auburn Hardware,
owned by Jim and
Dorothy Schneider, was
built by James Young.
Robert Nicholson . used it
as a harness shop tfor
quite some time before
selling it to John
Nicholson.
At one time, it -''was a
double dwelling, housing
a millinery shop and a
dressmaking shop.
Alexander McKenzie
used it as a harness shop
and Alfred Asquith used
it as a storehouse for
flour and feed. It was
turned into a hardware
store and residence by
James Stewart and later
owned by George Den-
stedt.
In 1918, it was bought
by James H. Johnston,
who added a' garage for
his son Thomas.
