Original Toronto Star caption: At Mount Robson the royal train pulled to a stop to receive the greeting of a little group of 30 people; most of whom had walked miles. Their majesties had no sooner alighted than the little girl began to cry. The Queen at once walked over to her mother; chatted; and finally took the wee youngster in her arms.

Image shows a crime scene in between two police cars.
Spot where Student was Slain in Fairview Mall parking lot is roped off. Police question bystanders of possible clues, but apparently have no motive for the slaying of Michael Habbib, 15, who was shot twice in the face as he walked across the lot last night. A suspect was wounded seriously in a shoot-out with police a little later in the parking lot of Scarborough Town Centre mall, about 5 miles east.

Clare and Bob Duck run Bob's Truck Stop in Campbellville for men who drove cross-country trucks, not for tourists. It's good, plain, solid food cooked to keep a trucker satisfied for the next 300 miles. Mrs. Duck says. Tourists tend to eat lighter foods like salads. Duck is a mechanic and worked in the Arctic for 13 years, taking supplies in by cat train. They opened the restaurant in January.
