Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Ab Campbell tours new zoo site. Recuperating from surgery, Metro Chairman Ab Campbell wandered about the 710-acre site of Metro's zoo in Scarborough, and pronounced it: Coming along fine. Pointing out the buildings now under construction is Metro Parks Commission T. W. Thompson. After his tour in which Campbell shunned a wheel chair, he described his post-operative condition as not too bad. I think I'm getting a little better every day.
