Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: This Sahara-like beach 130 miles east of Metro was leased to Lake Ontario Cement Co. for 75 years at a fee of $1 because of government reforested the company's property by mistake. The water is warm; the fishing great; but the public isn't likely to sample them until 2042.
