Original Toronto Star caption: Eight stores destroyed: Fifty North York firemen fought for three hours before bringing blaze under control early today in 22-year-old Lawrence Plaza at Lawrence Ave. and Bathurst St. Several second-floor offices also were destroyed in the blaze; and damage was estimated at $500;000. Flames could be seen from downtown Toronto at height of fire. Department officials said false ceilings hampered firefighters. They hope to determine cause later today.
