Question: During the Second World War, this daily activity was banned in Canada.
Answer: The Grade school class at Borden school which calls every week and hasn’t ever got the answer, guessed that Japanese people weren’t allowed the same rights as other Canadians. While that was correct, it wasn’t the exact answer that went with the question posed on the radio show. The answer that an old woman finally got was:
June 16 ‘43 broadcasting weather information was banned in the USA and Canada. “Stick your head out the window if you want to know the weather,” was a common expression of the day. The idea of course was to make it harder for the enemy to use domestic radio broadcasts to develop a weather forecast for bombing runs.
