One day while in Seattle, Vera wanted to use a car to go downtown shopping. They gave her keys to one of the cars. While driving downtown, she was stopped by the police for going the wrong way on a one-way street. However, the policeman took pity on this young Canadian lady and just gave her a warning to be more careful. When she returned and told her story, there was a flurry of excitement as the men ran to check the car. The back end of the car was full of liquor ready for distribution to a customer.

After the U.S. ended Prohibition, Walter and Vera moved back to Beaver Point.
