Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: The Hippies Movement is at the crossroads; say learned men. They will either develop their professed desires for the finer things in life and become a very real force in our society - or deteriorate into nothingness. But whatever happens flower people will have great influence over our lives; sociologists predict. Toronto hippies shown during a recent sleep-in.
