It still goes against my grain to spend an enormous amount on clothes, says Mary Lou Finlay, one of the three hosts of Live It Up on CTV. But I've got to be conscious of what I wear on the job

Last summer, he sold encyclopedias. This summer, university student Mark Dingman is selling himself - as the first prize in an unusual raffle. Dingman 21, of Toronto, has decided to raffle himself - or more precisely, 16 hours of his time - to make money for school. I wanted to run my own business. This took minimum capitalization and had minimal risk, should it fail, said Dingman, a McGill University student. And it seems like a good skill to learn, to sell yourself. Dingman is going door-to-door with his Student Slaves raffle and a very professional pitch. Tickets go for $1.99 each (or three for $5) and there are 200 in each draw. The first raffle is scheduled for Tuesday and the winner gets Dingman for 16 hours to do anything from cleaning ovens to fixing eavestroughs.

I'm always meeting people,' streetcleaner Fred Bowers, 64, says as he talks with George Fallis, an attorney who lives on Strathallan Blvd. Most persons on his beat know Bowers, who finds lost children and delivers messages - and, off duty, collect cameras, processes still and movie films, fishes and ties flies.
