Original Toronto Star caption: Tiny Kingdom is vital point in Toronto's nervous system. ing John of Muggs Island assumes that title and sets foot upon the soil of his small but important kingdom - which could be to Toronto what Danzig is to Poland - a little after 4.30 p.m. every summer day. Before that he toils in his Toronto business office; but come the magic hour and he dons invisible robes of purple; takes passage to Centre Island; then poles his way in a quite visible canoe - someone committed lese-majeste by swiping the royal paddles - across the lagoon to his tiny domain.
