Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Some days; it's hard to find that Christmas spirit. Michael Kowalewski; 2; finds the closer he gets to Santa; the better Grandma; waiting out of reach; looks. Shortly after the tearful tete-a-tete in a downtown department store yesterday. Santa repaired to the cafeteria to regain his touch. As for Michael; Toronto's winter Cavalcade of Lights may rekindle his Christmas spirit.

      Dr. John J. Slavens, 82, is proud of having the body of a 35-year-old man and he drives it hard. As well as two days' practice as a pediatrician he makes house calls four days a week. Retirement is not only deadly, He says, it's a waste.
