Cabbagetown Cabbagetown is that area of Toronto where hard working Irish immigrants immigrants once planted cabbages instead instead of front lawns. But during the depressed 'thirties' 'thirties' it was a good place to live. If you were on the dole, so were a lot of other people. If your vvàr- drobe was from the "pokey" (welfare clothing centre) so was that of your schoolmates. And if there was trouble of any sort, your neighbours rallied round. "We were a close community. If anybody died there would be a collection collection taken up," recalls Mrs. Pat Rice 38 who still lives in the area where she' was born tending to the wants of her eight children. The proportion of home owners was still high in Toronto. Things have changed in the rectangle rectangle bounded by King and Ger- rard, Berkeley in the west, the Don River in the east.

That is if you had a bathtub. "There used to be a bath-house on Sack ville St. just above Shuter, and as we had no bathtub, we used to pay five cents and go in and have a shower or bath.

At that time in Toronto's history there were 106 public schools smelling smelling of ink, and chalk> and wee mittens mittens drying on radiators. "There was a different slant ori teaching then," says Mrs. Rice. "The teachers were old fogeys, very strict who believed in cracking kids with the pointer." When Pat was 15 she quit school and went to work as a machine operator in a leather good firm. She earned 18 dollars a week of which $10.00 to $15.00 went to her parents. Maple Leaf Gardens was being built. The great Kid Line of Jackson, Primeau, and Conacher featured the Stanley Cup team of >1932. * Almost everybody in Cabbagetown Cabbagetown had a roomer in an upstairs back bedroom. Horse-drawn bread wagons rolled rolled through the streets and home gardeners were only too anxious to help out the street cleaners...the fresh manure was ideal for backyard backyard crops. Children chased ice •wagons, their qftarry a small piece of ice to suck, never mind the dirt. The auto age had arrived but hadn't taken over. "We walked everywhere...we didn't have the money to ride streetcars." Mrs. Rice recalls. Burlap sacks in hand, children used to go to the gas company building on Berkeley Street to pick coke for fuel. The street was the playground for Cabbagetown kids, who played until until twilight at tag, hide-and-seek, blind man's bluff and kick-the-can.
