Original Toronto Star caption: A Devil tempts a Metro policeman into a dance yesterday as the big Shriners parade rolled north; with its 135 bands so closely spaced that spectators could hear Oriental music and Scots pipers at the same time. The entire parade lasted exactly 7 1/2 hours; and ended with Sheik; the prize camel; loping into Varsity Stadium at 5.20 p.m. with its owners; Shriners from Nur Temple in Delaware.
