Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Overtaken by events: Mayor Arthur Eggleton officiated on schedule at one event yesterday; then got caught up in another he hadn't bargained for. He snipped a ribbon at Bloor and Yonge Sts. to open Toronto's Festival of Festivals. Then; unexpectedly; he was confronted by protesters who had staged a noisy demonstration outside the nearby Austrian Trade Commission; condemning the bombing of a synagogue in Vienna. Eggleton decided he wouldn't join in; but after a few persuasive words from MPP David Rotenberg he relented and marched with them for a while; looking none too pleased.
