During his teens •he won fame
as a baseball player. He was a
member of the Crediton team
until he gave up the game when
he was 40 years old. He played
second base before he became a
pitcher and it was because of his
devilish skill as a southpaw that
he was known throughout the
county, He frustrated the opposi-
tion hatters with drop • balls and
13 strike -outs in a game were
not unusual when young Bill was
pitching. • ,

two hotels, a grist mill, flax
mill, planing mill and several
tiler'
and brickyards.
When he was 16, Bill worked
in the flax mill, spreading flax
for 25 cents a day. Later he
worked 'three years for Harry
Cohen and 28 years for Fred
Kerr at their tile yards. • The
jobs also entailed cutting cord-
wood for the kilns several
'months each year. Wages in
those days were 75 cents to
$1.00 a day, and a day was from
daylight to dark.
In August, 1942, Bill finished
work in the tile yard and went
over to the airport at Centralia
for a job. The centre of opera-
s was a small red
tion
shack
which stored shovels and housed
an office. Bill was issued a
shovel and put on the payroll.
He recalls that the entire field
at this time had been cleared
of bush and levelled, that the
excavation for No, 6 hanger had
been completed and that a small
'army of workmen were develop-
ing field facilities and construct -

personnel were brought in from
RCAF Manning Depot, Toronto,
to relieve a supposed labour
washortage.s Bill �� as laidoff but
rehired in April that year. He
continued to work until last
week.
Group Captain A. G. Kenyon,
commanding officer, presented
Bill with a well-filled mug and
a "quite new shovel" at the
farewell party, Thursday. He
commented that this was the
first time he had ever made a
presentation to a man who was
retiring, but, if the mural which
depicted Bill spending his fu-
ture in an armchair was true,
then retirement must be wonder-
ful. The CO stated that he knew
Bill was not in the habit of rest-
ing, however, and that it was
Centralia's loss that 13111, a cap-
able and energetic tradesman,
was retiring.
