Original Toronto Star caption: Murray Dryden, father of Montreal Canadiens' goalie Ken Dryden, sits in his Islington home at a desk covered with the hundreds of pictures he has taken of children in the slums of the Middle and Far East sleeping in misery every night in alleys, gutters and doorways and on the bare floors of orphanages. He is involved in a drive for funds to provide slumber kits for poverty-stricken children.
