JANUARY: 26, 1977 TERRACE BAY NEWS PAGE 11 Conductor W.E. (Bill) D'Arcy, who made his last trip §& on November 3, 1976, | will receive his i first pension cheque on February 1st. Mr. D'Arcy be- gan his service with C.P. Rail November 1940 signing on the Trainmen's list and serving in both freight and passenger service. His father, Iva D'Arcy, a conductor, also, was still working when Bill began his service. Still carrying on the family name are his two nephews, D'Arcy and Lorne Wilson, also on the road, Schreiber Division. While Mr. D'Arcy was still working; vans, or cabooses, were still "assigned" - meaning a conductor's van was literally his "home away from home". This was furnished and kept up as he desired it, with equipment furnished in part by the Company. Food supplies could be stored, and any railroader's wife, missing a favourite pot or pan, knew quite well where it could be found. Mr. D'Arcy's pride in his van, its equip- ment and shining cleanliness was so well- known locally that it was seldom referred to by number, but instead as the Mount D'Arcy. This designating it in the class of the pri- vate cars assigned to officials of the Com- pany. The firmest proof of Mr. D'Arcy's ability, knowledge and interest in his work was in serving for 20 years as local chairman of the U.T.U., formerly the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, and as the conductors' representat- ive. Despite these busy years on the railway Mr. D'Arcy, again following in his father's footsteps, took an active part in town affairs by serving two years. on the Council and eight years as Reeve. By coincidence while he was Reeve, his cousin, Inez McCuaig (McGregor) served on the council - the only woman ever elected. Mr. D'Arcy still keeps in touch with community affairs and like every other re- tired railroader, automatically checks any pas -sing train for its equipment and its load.
