Whereas \"Mc\" is Irish, \"Mac\" would be Scottish.\nHis mother's family was a \"combination\" of Irish, Pennsylvanian Dutch and \"little English thrown in, it was quite a mixture\". He can't trace them back far enough to tell when they came to Canada. McRory's father was born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. His mother was born \"oddly enough\" in Morristown, New York. He doesn't know why she was born there, as she lived in Ontario for most of her life.\nThe interviewer states that seven generations in Canada are \"a long history\", especially for her who has arrived four years ago from \"Eastern Europe, from Ukraine\".

His father thought that his mother shouldn't cook at Christmas, so he took the family to a restaurant for dinner. He himself would have sausages and creamed corn at Christmas. They always went to the same restaurant, a Chinese restaurant. It was near the drugstore (in West Kildonan, Winnipeg) his father was working at. McRory doesn't know how much the Christmas meal would cost but he thinks it wouldn't have been more than 10 dollars for four persons. His father would earn 25 dollars a week. In 1930 or 1932, McRory's father sold his drugstore in a suburb of Winnipeg. His father wasn't well and was in debt. He was in horror of being in debt, so he sold the store. It was hard to find work, but his father would eventually work in a drug store in downtown Winnipeg. His father didn't get any salary but he worked what was very important to him: \"He was a full-time employee, he just didn't get paid. It wasn't that uncommon.\" It was during the Depression years. His father worked in that store for two or three years. The family lived on the money his father had got for the store. McRory explains that his fathers debt was very small by today's standards but he just couldn't stand being in debt.\nMcRory recalls that his parents bought meat from the butcher shop. They bought potatoes and canned vegetables from the grocery store. The vegetables were limited to beets, beans, corn (when it was in season), fruit (mostly apples). He remembers going to Safeway and buying eight pounds of apples for a quarter. They were good enough for pies which his mother liked to make. They weren't really eating apples.\nWhen they walked to the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association) building in Winnipeg, he would eat an apple on the way.\nAt that time, his parents didn't make any food on their own. He only started to cook for himself when he got out of the navy. He was 19 then.\nHis parents had a garden but a small garden where they grew beans, beets and corn.\nMcRory entered the suburban Winnipeg gardening contest when he was 7-8 years old. A retired railroad man in the neighbourhood who had the most beautiful garden in the country was his mentor. He won the first prize, and never wanted to see a garden again because he spent all summer weeding and hoeing. He had beets and tomatoes, beans and flowers. He won the prize for the products of the garden.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132656#t=545.0,988.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132656/index/52422/annotation/14","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"apples","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Christmas","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"debt","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"ethnic restaurants","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"gardening","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"grocery stores","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"pies","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"prices","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132656#t=545.0,988.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132656/index/52422/annotation/15","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Chinese","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Depression","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA)","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132656#t=545.0,988.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132656/index/52422/annotation/16","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Clothing","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132656#t=988.0,1047.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132656/index/52422/annotation/17","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Asked about clothing, McRory recalls that they wore \"whatever was available\".

They would go out on Christmas Eve and buy a Christmas tree. It was always bitterly cold, and it was a \"terrible\" job trying to find a tree. They would buy the tree, bring it to the house, and he and his brother would go to bed. They would wake up 77 times during the night to look what time it was. In the early morning, he would go downstairs and look at the tree that had been decorated in the meantime. It was a \"magical moment\" for him. They would always get gifts from their parents. They wouldn't wrap it because Santa Claus didn't do that. When McRory got older, he and his brother would help to decorate the tree.\nWhen they got up on Christmas morning, they get their stockings they had hung the night before. There were always some oranges, candies and baloneys in them. Once, they got a water gun, and they spent most of Christmas day shooting at the hot stove because the noise sounded like real shooting. On Christmas morning, they had breakfast, had to make their beds and do the dishes, got dressed and only then sat down at the tree to get their gifts. It lasted a long time until they had opened all their gifts, as they showed their gifts and commented on them. In the afternoon, they had to deliver gifts to other families. His brother Jack and he did that, as his father worked in the drugstore and his mother prepared the dinner. It was very cold outside, and they traveled by street car to deliver the gifts. It was a very exciting experience as nobody else was on the street. They had some distant relatives and friends in the city they exchanged gifts with. When they moved to Winnipeg proper, they had Christmas dinner at home.\nMcRory's \"major remembrance\" is a truck he got for Christmas. This gift was put next to the so-called \"piano window\" (they didn't have piano). It was a Coca Cola-truck, and it had six (or three) Coca Cola bottles on each side. The truck was small, and the bottles were big. They also got games, two toy gun holsters. He can't remember any other gifts at the moment.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132656#t=1444.0,1881.74513"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132656/index/52422/annotation/31","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Christmas","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Christmas trees","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"gifts","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"toys","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"water guns (toys)","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132656#t=1444.0,1881.74513"}]}]},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657","type":"Canvas","label":{"en":["Media File 2 of 3 - 2003-091-201.wav"]},"duration":1881.55937,"width":640,"height":40,"thumbnail":[{"id":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/collection_resource_files/thumbnails/000/132/657/small/Logo.png?1687988982","type":"Image","format":"image/png"}],"items":[{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657/content/1","type":"AnnotationPage","items":[{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657/content/2/annotation/1","type":"Annotation","motivation":"painting","body":{"id":"https://aviary-p-ualberta.s3.wasabisys.com/collection_resource_files/resource_files/000/132/657/original/2003-091-201.wav?1660927902","type":"Audio","format":"audio/wav","duration":1881.55937,"width":640,"height":40},"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657","metadata":[]}]}],"annotations":[{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657/index/52421","type":"AnnotationPage","label":{"en":["Part 2 [Index]"]},"items":[{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657/index/52421/annotation/1","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Soft drinks","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657#t=0.0,42.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657/index/52421/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"McRory recalls that in those days, there was Coca Cola, Orange Crush and Cream Soda: \"That was about it.\" There wasn't the huge array of soft drinks we have today.

They had an Easter dinner consisting of ham, sweet potatoes and \"standard vegetables\" like corn, beans, tomatoes. The service lasted about an hour or an hour and a half: \"It seemed like three days but it really wasn't\". The interviewer recalls that services are very long in the Orthodox Church in Europe (2-3 hours), and at Easter, there is a night service lasting the whole night. McRory states that his mother dyed some Easter eggs in a pot but he hasn't any special recollections about it. At Easter, they hunted for candy around the house but not for Easter eggs.\nMcRory laughs when he is asked whether his family had afternoon tea: His father worked all the time in the drugstore. If there was an afternoon tea, it concerned adult women who would get together. The family meals were breakfast, dinner and supper. Then, they called it breakfast, lunch and dinner. When people would come home for the noon meal, they would have dinner at noon. People who worked over the noon hours like his father would have lunch at work, and McRory and his brother came home for lunch from school. His mother would meat for tea in the afternoon with other women.\nBirthdays were celebrated in McRory's family: They had a birthday dinner, presents, cakes with candles they blew out, gifts. He can't remember any birthday gifts. They sang \"Happy Birthday\", but he himself didn't as he can't sing. When his three sons were little, they cried when he sang \"Happy Birthday\". They also had coins (a penny, a nickel, a dime) and a button, hidden somewhere in the cake, and when one got a piece of cake, one was lucky to get a coin. A dime (ten cents) for a boy of six was \"marvellous\" at that time. He could buy candies for a week with a dime at his father's drugstore. He would occasionally buy candy but not in his father's store because his mother wouldn't allow that. His father was a lot softer than his mother. They dug out whatever was there first, and then they ate the cake. McRory doesn't think that it was an Irish tradition.\nDominion Day was \"not a huge thing\" for them. His father's drugstore was always open. They had a \"standard meal\" (turkey with mashed potatoes and corn) for Thanksgiving. They always bought canned corn. They were \"lucky to have a refrigerator\" but no freezer. They had an ice box, the ice was delivered by the ice man. He had to removed the water that ran over the kitchen floor from the ice box.\nAt Halloween, they called \"Halloween apples\", not \"Trick or treat\". Some people gave them apples, some candy. Apples were cheap. It was always pretty cold at Halloween. McRory can't recall what costumes they had. They sang songs which was embarrassing. He did that from about age 5-12. No tricks were played by him. If they would do something and get caught, they would have been in real trouble. They wouldn't get away as children do today. If they would do something and get caught, they would have been taken home to their parents, and \"then you are in trouble\". The punishment varied. McRory states that he shouldn't even talk about this because he doesn't remember doing anything: \"I was too scared to.\" The punishment would vary from scolding to spanking, \"depending on what your sin was\". It was her mother who did that; she would never say that she would tell their father. His father wasn't home enough to be strict. His father worked for about 11 hours a day. His mother took care of discipline, his father didn't.\nAt New Years, they stayed up until 12 o'clock but didn't do anything else. They had ham for New Years.\nAsked about the celebration of saint days, McRory explains that there aren't any saints in the United Church (he laughs). There weren't other religious holidays. He can't remember any other holidays. He recalls that \"everybody is Irish on Saint Patrick's Day\" but they didn't do anything except for wearing green. He explains that Saint Patrick's Day parades have existed since the 19th century (e. g. in New York) but there wasn't such a parade in Winnipeg. McRory didn't even know where to drink beer in those days.\nThey celebrated Memorial Day and Armistice Day (something they got a holiday, sometimes not). They also celebrated 24th of May, the Queen's (Queen Victoria's) birthday. They got a holiday from school.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657#t=42.0,989.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657/index/52421/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"birthdays","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"cakes","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"discipline","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Easter","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Halloween","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"holidays","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"meals","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"New Year","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"refrigerators","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Saint Patrick's Day","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"spanking","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657#t=42.0,989.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657/index/52421/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"ice man","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657#t=42.0,989.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657/index/52421/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Music, playing the \"pit piano\"","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657#t=989.0,1147.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657/index/52421/annotation/9","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"McRory's father played the piano, and they sang songs, even he himself as nobody told him that he couldn't sing.

In West Kildonan, Winnipeg, they lived next to a family called the Lettermores. They were English. In Winnipeg, they lived on Banning Street. The only person he knew there was a young fellow (about a year young than McRory) who was \"quite a pudgy\", he had a...for which he envied him. He didn't get one until he was about 16. The boy became the mayor of Winnipeg in later years (William \"Bill\" Norrie, 1929-2012, grew up on Banning Street).\nThe neighbours at their next house were probably English, they had two boys, one McRory's age, one his brother's age. Then they moved to Strathcona Street, and he has no idea about the neighbours there.\nMcRory talks about his best friends. He can't remember the last name of his best friend when living in the first house. He left his first school after grade 2. There weren't lasting relationships anywhere. His best friend where the two boys he was in the gang with. They attended school together from grade 3 to about grade 6 or 7. One had the last name Murphy which is very Irish, the other one was of English background.\nThey played sports together, as well as games that nobody would recognize. There was a church in the next street with a vacant plot on each side of it, and they played a game called \"Anti Anti i-Over\". It was played with two teams, with three or four people in one team. They threw a tennis ball over the church. They tried to catch the ball, and to hit somebody on the other side of the church with it. If one got hit, he had to change teams. McRory describes in great detail how the game was played.\nThey also had their own version of cricket which was called \"Can can\". It was played with three cans. He also describes the game meticulously.\nThe best part was in the fall when it started to get dark a little earlier. Then they would play \"Kick the can\". It was like \"Hide and seek\", except for if somebody managed to kick the can, everybody that had been caught earlier was freed, and the guy who had to try to find everybody had to start from the beginning.\nThey also played baseball and football.","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Synopsis"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657#t=1527.0,1881.55937"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657/index/52421/annotation/20","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"autumn","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"baseball","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"children's games","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"friends","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"hide and seek","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"household moving","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"neighbors","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"sports","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"street gangs","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"tennis balls","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Subjects"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657#t=1527.0,1881.55937"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657/index/52421/annotation/21","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Anti Anti i-Over (game)","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Can can (game)","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"English","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Irish","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}},{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Kick the can (game)","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Keywords"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132657#t=1527.0,1881.55937"}]}]},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132658","type":"Canvas","label":{"en":["Media File 3 of 3 - 2003-091-202.wav"]},"duration":433.37723,"width":640,"height":40,"thumbnail":[{"id":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/collection_resource_files/thumbnails/000/132/658/small/Logo.png?1687988993","type":"Image","format":"image/png"}],"items":[{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132658/content/1","type":"AnnotationPage","items":[{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132658/content/3/annotation/1","type":"Annotation","motivation":"painting","body":{"id":"https://aviary-p-ualberta.s3.wasabisys.com/collection_resource_files/resource_files/000/132/658/original/2003-091-202.wav?1660927912","type":"Audio","format":"audio/wav","duration":433.37723,"width":640,"height":40},"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132658","metadata":[]}]}],"annotations":[{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132658/index/52420","type":"AnnotationPage","label":{"en":["Part 3 [Index]"]},"items":[{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132658/index/52420/annotation/1","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Sports","format":"text/plain","label":{"en":["Title"]}}],"target":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132658#t=0.0,40.0"},{"id":"https://ualberta.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1776/collection_resources/58583/file/132658/index/52420/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":[{"type":"TextualBody","value":"McRory recalls that sports were part of the school curriculum.
