Original Toronto Star caption: So who needs a hut? Really making tracks, Edward Tiltins of Toronto goes ice fishing by driving his car right out onto the middle of Lake Simcoe and sitting in it while he tries his luck. He was comfortable ensconced yesterday, just opposite Keswick, far from the scores of cramped fishing huts used by more conventional groups of ice fishermen.
