Original Toronto Star caption: Firemen distribute cheer to Toronto hostels. With their fire truck well loaded with apples; these members of the Toronto fire department set out to bring cheer to the fivc Toronto hostels. They also took along fruit; nuts and candy. This year the Toronto Fire Fighters' association decided to do these Christmas giving on their own instead of joining with civic employees. The mailed cheques totalling $2;000 to 14 Toronto charitable organizations including The Star Santa Claus Fund.
