The Newspapers Printed a Running Tally
About this video
What was the Great Stork Derby's running tally? Toronto newspapers tracked the competing mothers week by week, like a league table. The women who competed were almost all poor, several families were on relief and several husbands were out of work, and the price of entry was a decade of continuous childbearing. #history #greatstorkderby #toronto #historyfacts
