He'd try to get in under the blanket and it'd be all rolled up like a rope, and he'd be struggling and struggling and after a while he'd get under it. He'd never make the bed, so it got to be a saying over the years after that: anything that was mixed up bad, it was "bad as Billy Morgan's bed." So, that's the way it went on. I come back out to the Prairie again and worked for three or four years more, I guess, up in northern Alberta and down south of Winnipeg, down on the American line. All over the place. I came back home then, in 1931 it must've been. I stayed on the Island then. The good old Island. Island Work I did nothing for a year or so, living home on the farm. Then I went trucking. The first one I bought was from Jack MacLean in Flat River . He had an old truck I bought from him. And then the next year I got a new one. Bought it in Charlottetown from the Ford people, Allison MacLeod . It was supposed to be a two-ton truck, I guess. Thirteen hundred dollars new then. Then I went on for a couple of years and I got another one from McGowan's and I think it was only 16 or 17 hundred. That's the last one I had. Oh, first, I hauled eggs and produce like that. And then, the last years, I was hauling gravel. You'd be taking some load to town, as a rule. There'd be something, wood or something, cattle or something. I hauled eggs twice a week for the the first couple of years I was at it.1 They gathered eggs around with the horse and wagon, express wagon. Willie Ross collected them around this district, and D.D. MacLeod in Orwell. I hauled for the two of them. It'd be just twice a week. Took them to town and then they'd get feed from people over there on . I think there's an auto body shop there now. So, you'd take out feed for the hens and stuff like that. I used to haul a lot of stuff for Harry [MacTavish]*. And Harry had a lot of speeches. In the war years, we were hauling potatoes at John Alex Ross ' s, and [Harry] was there buying stone for a foundation. John Alex was complaining about the poor help — hard to get help, and they were poor. MacTavish said, "Yes," he said, "the kind of help you get now, they just keep the bread from moulding." 1 The "" was an early incarnation of a modern-day marketing board, based on co-operative principles._______________________ J ^ " BELFAST PEOPLE
