Original Toronto Star caption: And they call summer the silly season. A dozen polar Bears send up a chilly spray as they run into Lake Ontario water at Van Wagner Beach near Hamilton; to the cheers of more than 200 spectators. The water temperature yesterday was an icy 1C (34F). toronto lawyer Reg Bradburn said he joined the traditional Hamilton Polar Bear Club swim for the 14th year to win a $10;000 bet. Others did it for charity or a lark.
