Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: World traveller: E. T. studies the information kit for Air Canada's new Boeing 767, probably to see how far it can go on a tank of gas. While it has the ability to make trans-Atlantic flights, aviation rules won't let it, yet. However, for E.T., there are plenty of seats and lots of storage room. As for galactic travel, E. T. will have to wait - or go back home the way he came.

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.
