Original Toronto Star caption: It was cool inside; too. Chilled hippies; whose planned starve-in at City Hall last night was dispersed by police; huddle under blankets beside fountains in Nathan Phillips Square today; waiting to urge Board of Control once again to close Yorkville Ave. to vehicletraffic. They got cold reception inside; too; as the board refused to hear protest.
