Getting the "Strap" at school, LOL-disciplinary service!
prior to pandemic, do schools still give free milk for school kids?

I got the strap in grade 1 for fighting against the French who occupied the other side of the school and in grade 6 for not doing my homework .
FANTASIA
(I'd like to think that it qualifies as a "service".)
Surprised I'm the first.
And if I recall correctly, the blackhawk motor inn???

Coke machines - only coke, small glass (deposit) bottles. One silver dime...
Two things that no longer exist: stopping at the barbershop for a shave every morning on the way to school( I hit puberty hard while still in high school) and not touching the groceries once at the checkout- they would bag them, carry them to the car(some stores even had conveyor belts). The barber thing you can technically still find, but finding one that can do it at 7 am, do it well and fast is like finding a white rino. The last one I was using had himself a heart attack last year and checked out. And he still knew how to use the real razor and the hot towels. A huge loss, RIP.
LOL! In the old country it was the nun with the 1m ruler during the calligraphy lessons. She always hit the knuckles just right. And the geography teacher who had a penchant for throwing anything handy at students. And then of course there was the math teacher who compensated the lack of her teaching skill with the length of the rubber hose. To her credit, unlike visiting the principal, the "executions" were public, but you got to keep your pants on.
The Underground Barbershop, 794 Sheppard Ave E. north side, east of Bessarian Subway, in the strip mall on the far side of beside MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op).
They will shave you with hot towels and a straight edge razor. I think they are one of the very few in the city that still does this.
I don't know if they are open during these COVID-19 times.
When my family were living on Caledonia/St Clair, I remember the wooden crates of Italian pop delivered to our house...just like in the film Goin Down The Road.
Almost all of them have been discontinued except for Brio.

I got the "slugs" from Principal Clubine when I was 7 for throwing snowballs at brick wall with no windows. 3 whacks on each palm. Snowballs were frowned upon.
