This was a valth beyond the dream of a' arice, in those days. The Australian and U.K. officers envied us bitterly. They were paid about half that, to maintain the standards of an officer and gentleman. I don't envy the servicemen their increase.

However, the Scholls are thinking ahead to retirement. They own a cottage in the north which they plan to visit more I requently. "We've also got a lot of Canada to see yet," Al stated. The meat and grocery business isn't something new for the (;oldsteins. The new proprietor is a butcher by trade and has been engaged in this endeavour in Toronto for some time. They have three children, two of whom are married. A 12-year- old son is at home with them. A native of the Monkton. area, Al helped his father in the but- chering business and he recalled events of his initiation, At the age of 12, he butchered his first animal single-handedly. Ile tied the animal to 0. tree in the yard and killed it with his lather's shot gun, lie then hitched up the horse to the carcass and pulled it into the driving shed to cut it up. Some years after that, in April 1946, Al and Reta opened shop in Hen-sail in the small store for- wily operated by Harry Mac- millan, "It was a typical country meat store," Al recalled, However, it didn't stay that way too long,' In 1950 the Scholls augmented self service and the services — quite new at that time — was such a hit that they. were soon looking for room to expand. In 1951 they purchased the store next door from grocer Harvey Keys. In that period they look on their first extra help in the person of Keith Volland. He's still with them. By 1953 the staff had grown to six and three years later the popular Mensal] couple had joined the Super Save chain of grocery stores. This also increased business and they again were in need of extra room. Their final addition came in 1961 when they purchased the Goodwin dry goods store next door.
