I really like Heather Mallick's writing. The article is great, and I do love the photo. |

All these articles that could be put to more important topics are wasting our time and energy and diverting us from the things that must be changed to make our world worth while. |

Loosen up. The photos are sure an improvement over the old baldy mob. Edited by Durgan, Dec 13 2015, 05:04 AM.

Personally I figure the world is a better place with anything that makes me smile, or laugh and subsides anger. Laughter puts us in a frame of mind to tackle the idiocies and stupidities of unfair and unbalanced issues between people, and countries. All my life I have looked at the world with trepidation, I remember practicing putting our head under a desk in case of a nuclear attack. Not funny at the time but very amusing now. Articles like this make me realize that not getting my panties in a knot about inconsequential issues such as this is important. |

Well, it was Vogue which I'm not inclined to read anyway. They don't have it at the dentist's office. :) |

Darcie - my husband also tells about having to put his head under the desk at school. I wonder if you two went to the same school. I grew up in BC and don't remember doing that. |

I went to school in Toronto, East York, North York and Stouffville and I never had to do that either. I'm 76 and I think that would make me about the right age for it in the 50s. I saw Pictures of kids doing that but it was always in the states. |

Quite refreshing after Peter Mackay posing with No Compromise rifle association T shirt. He and his model wife were also widely photographed. Let's enjoy Canada's little moment in the limelight. After a decade of nasty cold eyed stiffs, surely we can enjoy a moment of levity. Youth and beauty are fleeting. The photos are lovely. |

I agree. The Vogue article has been very well received in the US, the views are very positive and is reminiscent of the Kennedy days. |

I grew up in Alberta and never heard of being under desks for safety's sake either. Didn't know anything about it until I read years later of it being done in the USA. It's rather sad when a photo results in more political garbage talk. |

I was in kindergarten in 1943 so this was after WWII ended and the cold war was on. I lived in Alberta at the time. We were treated with maps that we were directly in the path of the Russian planes that were to carry the bombs to the US. |

We did this exercise in Ontario. At least in the school where I attended. Perhaps it was the local school board policy? |

In the early 50's when the duck and cover was first implemented in the US after Russia developed their first nuclear bomb, 1949, I think the grade school children in my small town were part of the program but we did not do in high school.
