Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: The peasant women toiling on a rocky slope near St. Moritz; famous winter resort; appear not unlike Millet's celebrated picture of the gleaners. It looks as if they were preparing this rocky soil for next year's crop; but aparently it will be quite a chore.

He wants money: Dr. Mario Piacenza of the southern Italian town of Altomonte is in Toronto lookin for funds to build a school for peasant children. He's hoping to get it from the parents of the children he's leading here - natives of Alomonte who left their home town for North America. So far, he's visited 7 cities on a 3-month North American tour but has raised only $2,000 of the $20,000 he needs. He's had a picnic with Altomonteans here and plans another one.
