Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: In from the cold -- an undercover pool. During most of the year; outdoor swimming pools in Canada are as useful as snow skis in Miami-unless you happen to need a giant ice bucket for your parties. At least; that's the way pools used to be. Now comes Convertible Pools (Ontario) Ltd. with a plastic enclosure for year-round use. Yesterday; Debby Danman; 14; and friends were swimming in this pool on Pegasus Trail; Scarborough. The air inside the enclosure was 95 degrees; the water a comfortable 90.
