Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Little progress has been made in solving the problem of disposing of garbage. But; says Star columnist Walter Pitman; Surely this represents one of those problems that a little intelligent co-ordination?a little more intensive commitment?could begin to comprehend and solve. However; he doesn't expect rapid progress.
