Remember my second guest post with Vancouver Is Awesome, way back in the archives nearly a year ago now? A close friend of mine had just shared with me the most excellent newspaper advert for the brand new Eaton’s Pacific Centre, which opened February 8, 1971. Well, if you can believe it, I recently found the insert pages to this very same newspaper advertisement! Especially selected for your Halloween viewing pleasure, I present to you more high fashion from the early 1970s. These are the facing images that go alongside the women’s and men’s fashions seen on these two pages, and Eaton’s “total room” concept of home furnishings round out the reverse spread. Happy Halloween, everyone!
Bloody Sunday, Sunday 19 June 1938
A cordon of police was drawn up in front of the smashed-in store fronts keeping the crowds back. Here and there a moronic souvenir hunter dived for a scrap of broken glass or any relic that had been missed by the early morning clean-up job. The people milled solid for five blocks. There was a line of seven street cars where the service had got dislocated. They snailed along striking their gongs. The shrill of the gongs, the honking of horns and the jamming-in of gears kept up all the time as the traffic crawled along in first. It was one of those freak turn-outs. A woman leant from a car yelling and waving a red flag. No one paid any attention to her. That was the kind of thing that was in the air all over town. Hysteria. Mob hysteria. All on account of a few hundred jobless evicted from a three-weeks-old sit-down.
I’m reading Waste Heritage, a 1939 novel by Irene Baird that begins in the aftermath of the eviction of unemployed sit-downers from the post office & art gallery in 1938. Apparently it’s Canada’s Grapes of Wrath, the best depression-era novel to come out of this country. I’m not too far into it, but so far so good.
