  • Look out! . . . here comes the mayor. Off to sea in a tub, Toronto's Mayor William Dennison surveys his progress with some dismay as his motorized bathub hurtles along at the Canadian National Exhibition waterfront yesterday under only semi-control. Like some city council meetings, it turned one way easily, but not the other. Taking part in the CNE Burgomasters Bathtub Derby he ran into steering problems - and others ran into him.
