Lived in a well-off area of Edmonton. They moved to a bigger house. He remembers they used horses to dig the basement. The street they lived on was a mud road, but his parents started a petition to have the road made gravel. His father built a house that was three stories tall and they had a maid.\n\nTalks about how his grandson likes to call and visit frequently. Bill realized that the grandson had a girlfriend across the road. Bill then returns to the interview.\n\nBill remembers that they had 3 maids. One of the maids was allowed out one night a week. That night was Thursday, until 10 o'clock. She also wasn't allowed to eat with the family: she had to eat in the kitchen while they ate in the dining room. He thinks that was an English tradition: the help were separate from the family.\n\nIce was delivered by a team of horses. No rubber tires in those days, the wheels were steel. Bill describes the process in which ice is loaded and unloaded. The kids used to grab bits of ice off the wagon while the ice was being delivered: they would suck on the chips of ice. The ice was used for refrigeration. Bread was also delivered to the house, also by horse. Vegetables were also delivered by horse. Snow was also plowed by horse. Bill remembers that everything was done by horse in those days.\n\nInterviewee briefly answers a phone call during the interview.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58674/file/132931#t=9.0,394.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58674/file/132931/index/59332/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"food delivery services","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"home","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"house building","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"maids","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58674/file/132931#t=9.0,394.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58674/file/132931/index/59332/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"ice boxes","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58674/file/132931#t=9.0,394.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58674/file/132931/index/59332/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Grandfather's farm","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58674/file/132931#t=394.0,566.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58674/file/132931/index/59332/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Bill used to visit his grandfather at the Barrhead area of Alberta.

During threshing time, his grandmother would cook for 35 to 40 people, neighbours all came to help each other. He remembers his uncle going out and shooting a pig before preparing it. Bill describes the process of preparing the pig. He compares the process to supermarkets now.\n\nBill had to collect eggs on the farm.

Bill describes the process through which Klein did things. Bill later sold firewood himself.\n\nDuring summer holidays, Bill became very interested in the Cree reserve near Ma-Me-O Beach. Bill states that his father, as a former police officer had great respect for the indigenous population and did everything he could to help them. His father would purchase whitefish from them because they were not allowed to sell whitefish from their reserve in those days. Bill considers it unjust that they were not allowed to sell the fish they caught.\n\nBill would play with the kids on the reserve as a kid, including riding horses.

People rode their bikes everywhere. Bill and his friend would take their bikes out to the friend's uncle's farm to see the beach. Bill remarks that kids shouldn't be riding bikes on the highway now, but back then it was okay.\n\nIn the lead up to the war, there was a great deal of discrimination. Bill says that German people couldn't get good jobs. There was a Yugoslavian, Johnny, boy who wasn't good in school, but was a talented woodcarver as well as being a strong athlete and wrestler. Johnny was the one to get Bill interested in wrestling. But Johnny was an outcast because he was an immigrant child. Johnny's father purchased a hotel out near Cold Lake.\n\nBill and his sister were taught to respect guns and how to use them.

He sold extra papers when World War II was declared. He delivered groceries as well. He found work with Hudson's Bay Company as well.\n\nBill talks about dating during his time. Tobogganing was not an uncommon practice, and it was very fun. He joined the scouts and joined the Salvation Army Band: he wanted to be a drummer. His family forced him out of it, however, as they came from an aristocratic family. His father had a number jobs, eventually his father became a ballistics expert. There was even a firing range in the basement where other police would come to practice. Bill was very used to firearms and police officers being around.\n\nAt Pigeon Lake, there was an incident. A man was screaming, clinging to the side of a boat. An offshore breeze had pushed the boat far out. Bill and his sister managed to rescue the man. The chief of police at Pigeon Lake was the oldest living survivor of the Northwest Mounted police. That chief wrote about Bill and his sister's rescue to the Edmonton Journal.

After he retired, he went into retail security and got more involved in magic. He joined the magic club in Winnipeg and became the Canadian Director of the Society of Young Magicians, which is an organization sponsored by its American equivalent. Bill was the one to invite the Society into Canada. A number of his grandchildren were involved in the Society. Furthermore, the Society was featured in an episode of Sesame Street.

Bill says that the people of his era, when he was growing up, were quite racist. When he joined the Mounted Police, there were no indigenous members with any rank. There was a station in Smoky Lake where the worker was called \"the breed\" and never \"Joe\".\n\nWhen Bill was stationed in Yorkton, Ukrainians were discriminated against by the police force. Bill complains about the conditions in the jails in Peace River. Bill was taught that he was English and that the English were better than everyone else, but he didn't quite believe it. When he joined the police started working, the police were racist where the indigenous people were concerned. He talks about how things are still racist and reference the Saskatoon police freezing deaths. Bill's family had an air about them because they were of English aristocracy. They couldn't speak at the dinner table for fear of being hit or sent to their rooms.\n\nBill talks about the Mounted Police being ordered to imprison people of Japanese descent during World War II. He continues to talk about racism in the police force and Canadian society. When Bill was stationed in Yorkton, he worked at the city detachment for something to do. He would walk the main streets and drop into stores. Bill became involved with a Jewish woman. Law at the time said that RCMP officers had to be at least 28 with 10 years of service before they could marry. Bill was called in and told that no member of the RCMP could be involved with a Jewish girl. The woman's father ran into financial difficulty and the entire family moved to Calgary.\n\nBill notes that the RCMP is far more accepting in present times in terms of race, marriage status, and sexual orientation. Bill talks a bit about his courtship with his wife.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58674/file/132934#t=637.0,1431.09225"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58674/file/132934/index/59335/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"indigenous peoples","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"police","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"racial discrimination","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"racism","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58674/file/132934#t=637.0,1431.09225"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58674/file/132934/index/59335/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58674/file/132934#t=637.0,1431.09225"}]}]}]}
