Hitler 1932

I also found this photo of Hitler in this september 16th, 1932 Guardian edition wich I thought might be of interest to VC members.

How do you find old Guardian pictures?

Onesmac, You cannot get old Guardians on line. We have in our library (SHGV) old Guardians going back to 1931 wich can be viewed at our local below the Verdun public library at the corner of Bannatyne and Brown blvd. Guy

Hi

I guess anyone who in Verdun could go and look through them?

My sister and I were in the paper somewhere between 1960 -63. We won a costume contest at Dawsons. I had a copy of it in a photo album that got lost years ago. I wish I had known of that place last year when I was there. I would love to try ot find that new paper clipping.

Smac, If you can be more specific, I may be able to look up the Guardian for you but  you will have to be more specific. The Guardian was published once a week and the yearly 52 copies are put in a glued binder. You may e-mail me your address to my own e-mail address. Guy

Hi Guy,

I wish I could be clearer about the date. I'll have to ask my sister who is older and may recall the time of year etc.

I was dressed as a flapper girl and my sister Claudia was dressed in an upside down skirt and held glasses up to her eyes.

I'm pretty sure it was the Guardian. It was a Verdun paper at that time so maybe it was another paper.
How many Verdun papers were there?

Hi Guy,

I just spoke to my sister Claudia and she said it was a Halloween dance at Dawson, so the date would be somewhere in around the end of October, most likely on a weekend in 1960 61, 62, I think.

She also thinks it was in the Verdun Guardian.

I believe there was another one called the Messenger.

hi Gary,


I believe you are right! I recall, I think the name "The Messenger"

les__f MSN said...

You are both correct, there was the Guardian first ,which became the Messanger, I think it's now called the messager ?? Same paper just bilingual now, from what I understand.                                                                                      hf&rv

Les, both the Guardian and Messager/Messenger co-existed in 1960. The Guardian eventually disappeared and the Messenger is still published, I believe.   Ron

Hi Les:   I agree with Ron.   George

Yes I somewhat also remember a dual type thing,.I lived right beside the Guardian (later Messanger) at least that's what the sign said,.it was in te 4300 block of Verdun Avenue at one time,.and the store later after the Guardian sign came down ,they moved somewhere else and the Guardian name was dropped.  The store later was taken over by Mackassey trophy shop ( Yea I know he had a spot further along Verdun near just past Woodland ) but he did run out of this location where the old Guardian was.                   If you look past the grey stone building in the middle of the block on the bottom floor that's where the Guardian office was (later Mackassey took it over) I lived on the second floor last door of that Greystone building& when I stood on that balcony I could see the Guardian sign .....I took this particular photo on one of my visits back there ,this one in the early 80's I think.......I went to te StWillibrord's school ,which was right across Rielle avenue on Verdun across from that apartment building you see ,with the paharmacy in the basement,.Incidentally Michael Mackasey also was in one of my grade school classes if not a few years..... I have another photo somewhere taken from that balcony of a Navy Band marching along Verdun,( it may also show the Guardian sign I'll check & see......I think Winston's brother Bumpy may have also been in the Band shot with my brother.                             HF&RV

Here's the other photo taken from the balcony on Verdun ave, but you can't see the Guardian sign ,it's just further back along the frontage of te store,. but the photo on te right is on VerdunAv,.you can see the laneway across te street ,one of te few lanes that runs directly off Verdun av towards Wellington btwn: Rielle (on the right of this pic & Gordon on the left)   . I'm not sure where the photo on the left was taken ,but again it's the seacadet band I also seem to think this picture was taken in 1959??     and one of the members here indicated that tey may have been in this band as well, ( I beleive also Bumpy , Winston's brother was in it too maybe ?) I know he was in the Seacadets with my brother at one time,.........as a matter of fact here's the other photo I have with Bumpy & my older sister and maybe me as a little kid sitting on the back of an old car,(I think it was my oldmans car) ??  ...... this picture looks like it says '57 & you can see these kids are younger than the above photo,.....               HF&RV

Les   Great shot..I lived in that bldg on the corner. They have a floor of apts on top. Quiet only the smell of the pharmacy when you came in.My barber when I was a kid was right next to the paper.   Lad

Hi Les:   What a small world we live in.  I believe that my eldest brother lived in the same flat back in the 1950's.   He and Teddy Church use to take photos for the Guardian back then as freelance photographers.   George
