Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: New Sensation in travelling on both land and water is offered by the two-seat hovercraft; the latest way to enjoy the outdoor fun. Lift engine makes the ride feel like rolling on frictionless ball bearings while thrust engine can propel machine easily at 45 m.p.h. and should reach 75 m.p.h or more on ice. At 450 pounds; the hovercraft is light enough to lift it on a trailer. Stan Davies; Star boating editor; right; test drives a machine.

On the move: Student Joe Costa, 18, bones up on a course during his 45-minute bus trip to and from Bloor Collegiate every school day from the Dufferin-Wilson area. The quality of education of Bloor makes the travelling worthwhilek, he says. I'd rather not go to a technical school.
