Original Toronto Star caption: High Dives and High Temperatures. Seventeen-year-old Linda Thain of Greenwood Ave. dives from the high tower of the Donald Summerville pool as the thermometer stayed in the humid 80s. Yesterday's brief but heavy rains raised the levels in Metro reservoirs, depleted by heavy use that rose to a record 420 million gallons two days ago, and probably averted water rationing. It was enough rain for a week or 10 days for some farms in the area.
