Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: The garbage piles up: Arthur Filion and his daughter; Lorraine; having brought their securely wrapped garbage to Allen Gardens by car; carry it from the trunk to add to the growing piles of refuse in Toronto parks. At right Micheal Currie adds still more garbage to one of the piles in the park. Metro outside workers; which includes garbage collectors; went on strike last Friday and parks throughout the city have been made collection points for garbage providing it?s securely packaged. Hotter and more humid weather today is adding to city?s garbage woes.
