Title A name given to the resource Dining Car Menu for the Little Folk Description An account of the resource This elegantly designed menu from approximately 1928 features a delightful poem about the joys of riding on the Canadian National Railway. Much of it concerns food: If you follow the magic carpet ‘Twill lead to a fairy car, Where all things good in the way of food Are served by the C.N.R. The chairs are right for they’re just your height, The bibs are of pink or blue, And smiling up from each plate and cup Are the nursery pictures too. A smiling chef in spotless white You’ll see as you pass through; His pots and pans are gleaming bright, He cooks the food for you. From model farms along the way Come daily fresh supplies Of vegetables, eggs and cream, For puddings, cakes and pies.  I love to hear my Daddy say, When we go in to dine, “Choose anything you like to-day; The children’s menu’s fine!” Oh! a shining car is the dining car! And if I had my way, Such a fairy treat of things to eat Would be served ten times a day! Railway travel might be a rare occasion for a child to dine out, and food was one of the glamorous highlights of a transcontinental railway trip for adults as well. This glamour had a Prairie connection: by the 1940s, both Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway were using Medalta tableware, produced by Medalta Potteries in Medicine Hat (“Western Canadian History”). But dining-car fare was too expensive for many travellers, and restaurants soon sprang up at divisional points along the tracks, where passengers could hop off and swallow a quick meal (Duncan 117).

Title A name given to the resource The Life Story and Trial of Awolowo and 23 others Subject The topic of the resource Political Description An account of the resource Chinaka's political pamphlet The Life Story and Trial of Awolowo and 23 Others tells the story of Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Awolowo was the leader of the Action Group, a political party once active in Western Nigeria, and was integral in Nigeria's independence in 1960. Chinaka divides The Life Story into three parts. First, Awolowo divulges the details of his childhood and education in first-person. Despite his initial ambivalence about school, Awolowo aggressively pursues education even after his father dies and leaves his immediate family a poor inheritance. Here, Awolowo is a sympathetic character. His thirst for education (his father's instills in him an ambition to be a clerk in Lagos) typifies the ambition and class mobility important in Nigeria's high-life modernity. Second, the pamphlet reproduces court records and newspaper articles about Awolowo, though the sources are not properly cited. Finally, the pamphlet ends with a play that dramatizes the tension between Awolowo and his accusers in court. Despite being a political pamphlet, The Life Story seems ambivalent about Awolowo and his Action Group. The story of Awolowo's education and struggles as a child incite sympathy, but the rest of the pamphlet stays silent about Awolowo's guilt and doesn't vilify Judge Sowemimo (who sentenced Awolowo to ten years in jail).

Title A name given to the resource How to Study and Pass Examinations Subject The topic of the resource Self-Help Description An account of the resource Chinaka addresses readers worrying about all-important examinations. His self-help pamphlet, How to Study and Pass Examinations, shows that exams are not straightforward--the brightest students may score the worst and the dullest may score best. Instead, Chinaka argues that exams are like football, where practice, a cool head, and an understanding of exam tricks and techniques count more than raw intelligence. Most of Chinaka's 'tricks' ask readers to be neither under nor overconfident, to be sincerely interested in school material, and to read novels and newspapers. How to Study and Pass Examinations specifically recommends reading English materials in order to improve writing; mastery of English is the key to passing exams which are, in turn, the key to participating in high life modernity. The last half of the pamphlet devotes itself to examples of compositions (notably on citizenship, politics, and religion) and lists synonyms, proverbs, and possible composition topics. In addressing the modern anxieties of Nigerian students, Chinaka's pamphlet reveals the emphasis placed on Western-style education in 40s, 50s, and 60s Onitsha.

Title A name given to the resource A Colourful Wedding and a Happy Home Subject The topic of the resource Romance Description An account of the resource D. A. Azoh's romance pamphlet A Colourful Wedding and a Happy Home tells the fictional story of Jack and Rita. The narrator, Kelly, claims that Jack and Rita make the perfect couple and eagerly anticipates their wedding. When the wedding day arrives, Kelly describes the ceremonies as royal and colourful, where "both black and white, fat and slender hands couldn't help clapping." The presence of white people at the wedding suggests that racial equality remains central to Nigeria's vision of its modernity. The presence of an 'international' photographer and white people might also suggests the power of global (Western) influence on Nigerian modernity. Rita, an educated woman and 'lady typist,' also expresses the increasing importance of education for both men and women in modernizing Nigeria. Contrasted with the unhappy tale of uneducated Tom and educated Joan (which the narrator tells before describing Jack and Rita's wedding), Tom and Rita are an educational match and their wedding is a success. Without any transition from Tom and Rita's story, the last pages of the pamphlet dole out domestic advice (presumably aimed at women). "A Colourful Wedding" veers into self-help territory, listing "Essential Cleaning Equipment" and "Cooking Equipments" while teaching "Butter Making."
