Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Mayor of all the people' gives us a sundial. With Mayor William Dennison looking on, former mayor Nathan Phillips dedicates the sundial he is giving to the city. The six-foot spherical sundial occupies a prominent spot on the square that bears his name - just north of the reflecting pool. Except for the sun, Phillips had everything for the occasion. Many of his old friends of 36 years on City Council were there and even a few of this former political enemies. They clustered around him after he pulled ribbon unveiling dial.
