Original Toronto Star caption: Decked with yards of ticker tape; these girls were among the thousands who milled about the streets celebrating victory day. But there were sober moments; too; as at the city hall where a dense throng paused for a few minutes to sing O Canada and the hymn; O God Our Help in Ages Past. And as they sang one elderly woman wept silently.
