Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Drawn by Saturday's bright sunshine; Toronto's hippies sang and danced all afternoon at Queen's Park in their first love-in of the 1968 season; and when a parks department truck paused to watch them; the hippies settled down on the ground all around it in a good-humored blockade. After they had serenaded the occupants awhile; the hippies broke ranks and sent the work truck on its way.
