Original Toronto Star caption: William Charlton said the $14,500-a-year cost of limousine wasn't justified when he was running for school board chairman. But now he's using his. Why? he asks. Because it's there-and it's incredibly convenient. The new chairman believes in taking a practical approach.

W. H. Thornburn, chairman of the Toronto Stock Exchange board of governors, sees a small revival of confidence by Canadian investors, but much less than I had expected by this time.
