Some Toronto Stork Derby
winners (Nagle family) by Roy Tash (thanks to the TPL)<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. 1926 was an exciting year in our city. Amongst other things, Charlie Millar, a wealthy Torontonian died and left a very unusual will. Charlie was well known as a practical joker, and his will contained a few of his jokes, one of which was the infamous Stork Derby<\/a>. An award was to be granted to the Toronto family that had the most children in the decade 1926-1936.<\/p>\n

The well known cinematographer Roy Tash<\/a> captured on film one of the winners, the Nagle family (another Nagle was a European inventor and manufacturer of well made cameras – bought out by Kodak Europe). Tash was born in New Jersey and moved to Toronto via Chicago. Roy became well known here for his work with the Associated Screen News<\/a>. He was the subject of an article in our journal (14-5) in 1989 by the late Bill Belier. A photograph he took of the Pearson Cabinet was featured<\/a> on our website this year.<\/p>\n

Thanks to my friend Goldie<\/a> for alerting me to Roy Tash’s filming of one of the famous Derby winners – the Nagle family, and the Toronto Public Library (TPL<\/a>) who conserve much of history in their archive..<\/p>\n
