Original Toronto Star caption: Canadian heartstrings are vibrating to the delighted cries of many winsome little war guests from the notherland; arrived this week. Ringlets; pigtails and tousleheads bob attractively about the local scene; and gay young English voices ring out as they discover fresh delights.Behind this welcome vista lies a long period of anxious waiting and arranging on their parents part. This picture shows a lengthy line of Londoners waiting at the passport office to make application for sending their children to Canada until the war is won.
