Original Toronto Star caption: Esert Tuareg; in Timbuktu with his camel for the market; with a soldier of the Mali army; which has taken over the old Legion post and polices the area as best it can. Torists can get to Timbuktu easier today than in the old days; when it could cost your life; but it's still a long way from being a resort. The heat is intense and the accommodation far from comfortable.

Eyes... right! Not lacking for admirers, Fred Lewis, 55, is all spit and polish in World War I cavalry sergeant's uniform as he marches on Saturday in the Royal Canadian Legion's walkathon to raise $25,000 for the Metro Toronto Legion Lodge. Lewis, who retired in 1971 after 33 years in the army, acquired the uniform during his travels and wore it to publicize Legion's 50th anniversary. Claire (left) and Lori McMahon were comrades-in-arms.
