Original Toronto Star caption: $30;000 car fire: Flames shot up about 30 metres (100 feet) this morning in an explosion and fire that destroyed four cars and a garage behind a Chaplin Cres. house. One of the cars destroyed was a reproduction of a 1933 Alfa Romeo. The intense heat reduced its fibreglass body to ashes; leaving only the chassis and spoke wheels (foreground). No one was injured.

      Showing how his wares work - almost all at the same time - is Ballon King Otto Bishof. He estimates he'll sell about 50,000 balloons and about 30,000 party hats, horns, noise-makers, bells and whistles to bring in the New Year. After 11 years in the business, he says he still has a lot of fun. Bischof also rents out canisters of helium gas to fill balloons, and he and staff also decorate some hotels for the festivities.
