Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: It's a Zest for life on the island. Only the faint skyline of downtown Toronto suggests this is no scene from Swiss Family Robinson as Michael Albrecht hews a dugout canoe with an adze from huge log that drifted onto beach near his home on Ward's Island. He says he really doesn't intend to set it afloat; but believes his children will enjoy playing in it. Scrambling near bow in yesterday's warm sunshine are his daugher; Portia; 4; and friend; 3-year-old Hanne Whitfield. Albrecht says island life is great.
