near the cenotaph. The store holds fond memories for all the chil¬ dren of O'Leary growing up at that time. There was a large selection of candy sold at just the right price to suit a child's budget. Hot dogs and pop were also big attractions to customers entering the store. Verna worked in the store with her husband. She recalled her hus¬ band picking apples from their orchard one day. "They are going to spoil if we leave them here. Let's take them into the store and give them to the children who come in." Once word got around that Vatcher's were giving out free apples, they were bombarded with children and discovered the exact population of children in O'Leary under the age of fourteen. This made Herbie's day; the more children who came into the store the better he liked it. There were, however, many faithful customers of all ages who did business at Vatcher's Grocery. In 1973 Herbie and Verna sold their store to Wayne MacNeill who opened a television repair shop. Westisle Farms WESTISLE FARM SUPPLY LTD .
