Donnell & Mudge Tannery

 

From John De Anglis:

 

My Dad used to work at D& M. There was dialog and trading with the POW's. 

 

New Toronto - September 22 (Staff Special) -- About a score of German war prisoners are now employed in the Donnell and Mudge tannery here.  Authorization for this employment was received from Hon. Humphrey Mitchell, Minister of Labor, over the protests of town council.  The prisoners are housed in internment camp "M" in Etobicoke Township and are brought to the plant in company trucks.  They are dressed in blue uniforms much like those of invalided soldiers with a large red patch on the back of their coat.

Can you help us with this one?  It looks like it was taken at the New Toronto Public Library.  We have two dates on the back of the picture  - June 12, 1946 and August 21, 1946.  If you know what this meeting was for or know any of the people in the picture, we’d be very interested in hearing from you.  Please e-mail our secretary at lcaron0822@rogers.com

 

One member believes that the tall gentleman in the 1st seat of the 2nd row of the 1946 picture in the library was William Terry, vocalist, and the part-time music teacher at 7th Street School.
