Original Toronto Star caption: The year of the tiger for Metro's Chinese community is ushered in by a lion dance yesterday at the University Settlement House with Alderman Ying Hope feeding the lions money wrapped in lettuce. Almost 500 persons were at the settlement house for celebrations; which included ancient songs; a film and a Chinese philosopher expounding on the meaning of new year. Tigers aren't to be trusted; he said. and wars are often started in cyclical Tiger years.
