Katherine Smith, and published regularly in tine Buffalo Courier-Express. Mr. Bewleys story appeared in yesterday's Issue of the Buffalo newspaper, and was a s follows: , ° It's as easy for a man to make good in a small city as In a large one." declared William Bewley. Mr. Bewley has passed only three years away from his home town of lockport. His first Job was on t h e old Peterson farm of that communly, where his working day began with the delivery of milk at 5 in the morning and ended long after sunset. Each position after that was; a step upward, and now he Is treas- urer of Bewley Brothers' cannery, treasurer of Bewley Trueadale Con- struction company, president of the Market Street Garage Corporation, and director of the Niagara County Trust company. -Mr Bewley, son of the late Joseph Bewley, was born In 1878. He attended the Lockport schools, and following his graduation from high school, took a business course. Prefectng business experience to farm work. Mr. Bewley left the Peterson farm to Join the American Express company, with which he was associated for ten years. For a time, he was cashier of the Lock- port agency, and was subsequently In charge of the Olean oftlce. He had been In Olean only a abort time when his brothers organized the Lockport Canning company. Joining them In this project, Mr. Bewley supervised the building ot the cannery, and managed It until he and his brothers' purchased the Mlddleport cannery, of which he became treasurer. From 1913 to 1919 and again from 1928 to 1939 Mr. Bewley represented the Lockport district in the State assembly. Enjoyed Experience. T h a t is great experience,'' he reminisced. "It affords the type of broadening contacts considered so Important a factor In a college education. It gives one a chance to observe some of the nation's leaders at the commencement of their careers. During my first six years in the legislature, I could actually see Al Smith develop In forcefulness and assurance. Although Mr. Smith and I represented opposing political parties, I was Impressed with bis soclalablllty and unfailing readiness to assist new members by explaining to them technicalities of procedure. But far more valuable than the personal recollections Is the knowledge of law and the confidence In lawmakers that one gains in a governing body such as t h e State assembly.'' "In 1918, the Mlddleport eannery was sold; and the following year, Mr. Bewley accepted a position with the General Motors Corporation. For three years, be traveled throughout the United States engaged In field work In connection with the system of employes' bonuses. In 1923, he returned to his old home town and repurchased the Mlddleport cannery, of which he Is treasurer and manager. "His home is* the first house to be erected in the Carlisle Oardens development, opened by his brother, Richard Bewley. " *We Bewleys,' he said, *have always believed In helping each other. As soon as one of us got a start, he would do what he could for the rest. As a young man, my brothers' confidence In me and readiness to help me meant a great deal. Indeed, I think that whatever we have achieved has been done, not aa Individuals, but as a family.' "Mr. Bewley married Miss Blanche L. Clark of Grand Rapids, Michigan. They are the parents of a son, Robert, seven years old. In Welfare Week. "Golf was formerly Mr. Bewley' chief hobby; but for the past few years, welfare work has claimed the hours he used to pass on the golf course. As chairman of the widows' allowance committee of the county welfare organization, he visits in person a number of the mothers who are given pensions in order to keep their children in home environment. Many an af- ternoon he passes driving into the rural sections of the county for the purpose of interviewing the widows and ascertaining the extent of each one's need. "'°No work has ever given me greater satisfaction,' Mr. Bewley commented, 'and the Joy upraised by children and mothers when they are told that they will not be separated because of their poverty la ample reward for all the time I have given to it' "Formerly, Mr. Bewley was active In the Preventorium, an organization for the prevention of tuberculosis, which was taken over last summer by the County Health association. "Motoring and swimming are among the recreations Mr. Bewley and his wife and son enjoy together From their home they can see Lake Ontario, and many a summer after- noon when Mr. Bewley returns from the cannery, they finish the day with a dip in its refreshing water and a picnic on its wooded shore. "A firm believer in the old admonition, 'See America first,' Mr. Bewley has visited vrtualry all of the places of Interest in the United states, having made twelve trips to the pacific coast. A steadfast Republican, he reads with avidity on subjects of political significance. He has represented his district In the college of presidential electors and while in the assembly, he was chairman for several years of the labor and Industry committees. He made the ecqualntance of such outstanding labor leaders as James Lynch and Samuel Gompers; and It Is his opinion that such men as these are sincere in their convictions, reasonable in their demands and ready to enter upon agreements in a 'give and take* spirit. Watches A ration. "Mr. Bewley follows with interest the developments in aviation. He has flown only once, accompanied by his wife and son. " 1 want Bob to have a college education,' he remarked in conclusion. 1 didn't have one, of course, but people are taking life easier now than In my young manhood. They don't start out and shift for themselves as we did 90 years ago, and a boy needs the experience of college to put him on his own.' "Mr. Bewley Is a member of t he board of directors of the Lockport Y. M. C. A. and a promoter of both the Boy and Girl Scout organizations. His affiliations Include the Lockport Rotary, the Niagara Country club and the Lockport Board of Commerce."
