Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Tommy's problem: Do i kiss it or pat it? Decisions... decisions. NDP Leader Tommy Douglas faced a ticklish situation today when he took a trip to Metro's Yorkville. Walking through hippieland he met Lady Jane (right) and some friends. Lady Jane offered her hand, and the little pekingese warranted a pat. What to do? Mr. Douglas had just given a TV interview sitting at a sidewalk coffeeshop and was on his way to Galt and more election meetings. For the solution to Tommy's dilemma.
