Original Toronto Star caption: High up in the Soldiers' Tower of Hart House; Wilf Woodley tightens some of the 28 bells which have been added to the carillon. The bells were hoisted to the tower in November and now the experts are tuning them. A goup of U of T Alumni raised the original $35;000 needed to help pay for the new bells.

Showing how his wares work - almost all at the same time - is Ballon King Otto Bishof. He estimates he'll sell about 50,000 balloons and about 30,000 party hats, horns, noise-makers, bells and whistles to bring in the New Year. After 11 years in the business, he says he still has a lot of fun. Bischof also rents out canisters of helium gas to fill balloons, and he and staff also decorate some hotels for the festivities.
