Original Toronto Star caption: Waterfront Scenario. There's nothing like a backyard view of the CN Tower on a mid-summer's day. Two giant freighters peer across the waterfront from Pier 35 at the foot of Cherry Street. Taking on another load of cargo; the ships took advantage of warm afternoon sun to laze in harbor's cahn waters and make preparations for yet another port.

Looking over Toronto's railway yards, Sanford Duplassie, 25, left White River in June when CP Rail laid off workers. There's a future here, he says. Only one of his friends has remained in the north. There's nothing there for the younger person. There's no industry. There's nothing. Over half the town is made up of pnsioners. His father is one of them. Sanford's 11 brothers and sisters are scattered across North America, from Texas to British Columbia.

Image shows a few cargo ships at the Harbour.
Toronto's foreign shipping is a healthy 60 per cent this season. A 24-day Seaway strike turned back cargo-laden ocean freighters like these in 1968

STEEL REINFORCING BARS and steel pipe-the backbone and arteries--jut up from the rising CN Tower on the Metro waterfront. Demand for steel is booming at a rate not seen since World War II. Canadian mills are straining at top capacity. One Bay St. analyst says there is no catching up for three years.
