Toying with the Idea

Many people are sitting on folding chairs. An infant is sitting on a blanket on the floor next to them and playing with stacking cups. Caption reads: "TOYING WITH THE IDEA — Edward Crise, 10 months, kept himself busy as his mother, Jane (right), joined about 400 people Thursday at a meeting on a municipal water system in Bayside."
