Original Toronto Star caption: Pied Piper wins a little girl's laughter. Bobby Gimby; the musician who wrote the Centennial song Ca-Na-Da; squats solemn-faced in his pied piper's outfit; holding the out-sized trumpet which was his centennial hallmark; and gets a big laugh as he cracks a joke with 4-year-old Barbara Morell yesterday during a half-hour show he staged for 150 children at the Ontario Crippled Children's Centre. At left is nursery teacher Mrs. Carolyn Hitchlock.
