Original Toronto Star caption: A lion dance on Elizabeth St. ushers in the Chinese Year of the Ox with a noisy; colourful parade through Chinatown Saturday. Drums and firecrackers made a racket that traditionally scares off evil spirits and restaurants served tangerines for happiness; watermelon seeds for fertility and noodles for long life. Old almanacs say the year will be good for marriage and agriculture if you endure and persevere.
