Original Toronto Star caption: The Toronto skyline has been in a state of almost constant change since the end of World War II as the population of Metro reached 2.25 million; farmland on outskirts has been built over and boom became a way of life. Toronto Mayor David Crombie has received a basketful of letters from Shriners who were in town recently; he sums up their comments as It's a great place. It has; Crombie says; the smell of a great city and the whiff of a small town.
