Summary:gibralter The prizes [at the Sunday-School picnic] to the older children would be an apple, for the smaller children a large peppermint candy, sometimes varied with small bags of what was called common candy. So that the losers would have a chance to get something, and any remaining candy was thrown in the air. A mad rush ensued, resulting in many bruised knees. A small price it was thought for these "Gibraltar Knobs", the name usually given to the delectable candy. G. M. Story SEP 1974 JH SEP 1974 PRINTED ITEM Not used Not used Withdrawn
