Sarah Tatigian and Gaby Dionne were arrested for their part at a bizarre labour protest at the Dupuis Freres department store in downtown Montreal in which they and other shouting and singing protesters attempted to unleash three bags of bees and a bag of frogs among the many women who had come to the store to enjoy a 20 percent off sale.
The sale took place on Saturday May 17, 1954 and the protest was organized by the National Federation of Labour Youth
Dionne, seen at right, was such a promising rebel that she had been sent for special training in North Korea a year prior. Tatigian is spelled Tattigian in the
original article, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong.
