Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Armand Vaillancourt, the bushy-faced Montreal artist, is up to his knees in mud and unfinished sculpture in High Park. He says he's broke and hasn't seen a cent of the extra $91,600 approved by City Council three weeks ago so he could finish his 170-ton mammoth work.
