Original Toronto Star caption: A smile finally brightens the face of Van Tot Troung; one of 53 Vietnamese orphans who were flown into Toronto yesterday. For 90 minutes; nurse Laurie-Beth Davidson of the Metro Children's Aid had sat with him on the bus from the airport to Surrey Place; and while he waited for his medical exam; and he stayed solemn. Finally the boy; small even for a 3-year-old; broke down and smiled at her.
