Original Toronto Star caption: Wall-to-wall young people jam Toronto International Airport yesterday as they head out for a week-long school vacation, increasing the normally heavy Friday travel. With more than 560 flights arriving and departing it was the busiest day of the year so far. Officials said they also expected the airport to be unusually busy both today and tomorrow, but after that a few days of peace.

    A tail ship: Free of its heavy load; the Wheat King rises majestically. For a working vessel; she looks strangely sleek although the plates that are normally below water have a waffled look. The ship dwarfs the vessel beside it.
