Original Toronto Star caption: A big deal for little people. The men aren't giants but it's a huge addition they're putting the finishing touches on: six new buildings for the little town - two-thirds size - in the children's amusement area of Centre Island. Among additions: a cider bar and an ice cream bar. Besides that; the railroad has been extended 2;000 feet and two new bridges have been built for it to toot-toot across. Everything opens on May 16; and parks officials wonder if they'll top last year's attendance of 1;300;000.
