Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Wrecked car placed outside North York municipal offices in Attorney General Roy McMurtry's campaign against drinking drivers is all right; but the sign with it violates the borough's bylaw forbidding mobile signs. Officials of several companies will be in court next month charged with using such signs.
