Today, some good clean fun. A regular reader of this blog spent some time recently, hunched over a microfilm viewer, poring over old copies of The Telegram.
Several of the headlines which all appeared at about the same time - caused this person to chuckle, so they were copied down and kindly forwarded to me. I chuckled at them too, and the reader has kindly agreed to let me post them here.
So let's play a little game. Can you guess what year AND what month the following headlines appeared? It may sound difficult, but there are plenty of clues below.
Please email your guesses to geoff_meeker(at)yahoo.ca. Correct responses will have their names entered in a draw for a free Jellybean Row piece. Please note: if you are a Telegram reporter with full access to the archives, please don't cheat! UPDATE: Everyone who enters will have a chance to win, not just the correct answers.
Have fun!
