Spring in the '70s: the decade not the temperature

Photographers at local papers are all well aware of the "enterprise" photo. These pictures are used as filler for inside pages. If an image is good enough to spur news stand sales, it may run large above the fold on the front page. Of course, that only happens if there is no important front page story complete with art available.

Tidying the basement today, I discovered this enterprise image from the five decades ago. It was spring in Sault Ste. Marie, the snow was melting, coats were unbuttoned and the short skirts were reappearing after month of hiding.

Today this image says more than spring. Now, it also says '70s in Canada.
