Widely -read columnist, Smiley dies
Bill Smiley, who wrote a weekly
newspaper column of humorous but often
biting comment on personal and family life,
has died at his home in Midland, at the age
of 67.
His widely -read column was published in
more than 130 Canadian community
newspapers from 1960 to 1985. It was one of
, the most popular features in The Huron Ex-
positor for many of those years.
A veteran of the RCAF, he spent several
years in a prisoner of war camp in World
War 11. After graduation from the Universi-
ty of Toronto in Honors English, he spent 11
years as editor and publisher of the weekly
'Marton Echo. It was there he began writing
a weekly column, "Sugar ana spice in
which he could express himself more freely
than in formal editorials.
The column soon caught on with other
weekly newspaper editors and for many
years was syndicated by The Toronto
Telegram and later by Argyle
Communications.
In 1976 Bill Smiley was awarded the first
George Cadogan Award by the Canadian
Community Newspapers Association for the
best column published in a weekly
newspaper.
Bill Smiley's wife Sue, known to readers
as "The OM Battleaxe", died in 1983. Bill fs
survived by his daughter Kim and son Hugh,

whom readers watched grow up as their
youthful impulses and later their adult ex-
periences were recorded in the column.
"Bill Smiley was one of Canada's least
recognized great newspaper columnists
because he chose to write for the people he
cared the most about - those in Canada's
small towns," said Ray Argyle.
Hugh and Kim Smiley have announced
plans to fund an annual Bill Smiley Essay
Contest on the Human Spirit, open to all
Canadian high school students. This is in
tribute to the fact that as head of the English -
department in the Midland high school,
where he taught after leaving the
newspaper business, Bill would assign such
an essay to students in their final year.
