Imperial Leaf Tobacco Co. of Canada Ltd., Leamington Ontario, 1939

   

[Leamington Shopper, Wednesday, January 16, 1985]

With winter coming, the tobacco factories were looking for help, so Margaret  [Mathies] and I [Annie Mathies] stood outside in the cold along with many others as Lin Branton stood on a platform and picked the ones he chose. Being taller, even though two years younger, I had my fingers crossed when he asked my age. After all, hadn't papa told us to get one, and I always obeyed him? I was only a few months short of sixteen, but it upset Margaret since she then also had to lie after I began work first.  

It was too far from the 7th to the factory in Leamington so we went to "bachel it' at the Wiense's who lived nearby. 

Here for the first time I was exposed to the real world, and I hated it. The foul language, and the dirty jokes that left me blushing while it seemed to encourage more of the same. One day while hanging tobacco leaves on a stick placed across a wooden horse, a guy who'd been flirting with me from where he worked across the room, came over and I started to run around the other way so as not to be pinched from behind as the others had done. Accidentally my hand went down on one end of the stick while the other one got him in the eye.  The next day I was informed was his wedding day, and he went down the aisle with a black eye. I wonder what excuse was given to a new bride.

Then the war came along, and with it came Hitler, so now those of us who spoke German even though we were pacifists were considered the enemy; so after being questioned, were all fired.
