Original Toronto Star caption: The temperature soared to 23 Celsius (73F) yesterday in downtown Toronto; equalling record for day set in 1946; and no one appreciated it more than Jon Capra; 67; who was seen reading and drying his socks in High Park. He wears two pairs at a time because he does a lot of walking. But March is to go out like a lion. Forecaster calls for much lower temperatures; showers and possible flurries by tomorrow evening.

Mortimer Doyle, president of the International Snowmobile Industry Association, poses with large snowmobile outside the Inn of the Park yesterday. Despite temperatures around 26 Celsius, the association is holding its annual congress and discussing such unseasonal topics as Snow Country - Winter Fun for Everyone. Snowmobile sales are expected to reach 250,000 in 1978, figures that should keep manufacturers warm in the long winter nights.
