Description: "10/09/1963: After receiving an anonymous telephone call at 10:00 p.m, that a bomb had been placed behind a Saint-Lambert post office, police detonated a package believed to contain dynamite in a shoe box wrapped with brown paper. The package was similar to one found at the same time in Jacques-Cartier, although bomb disposal personnel blew up both packages using dynamite, the force of the explosion at Saint-Lambert convinced police that the bomb there was a real one. The initial ""R"" was painted on one of the walls. No injuries or damage to property were caused."
