Original Toronto Star caption: Marooned Mayor Hitchhikes home. Thumb out, Toronto's Mayor William Dennison tries disconsolately yesterday to hitchhike down Don Valley Parkway back to city. Marooned when his chauffeur-driven limousine failed to pick him up after he inspected a nature trail in belt line area, he was ignored by traffic for 10 minutes. A red convertible rescued him.
