A winner in the inflation battle is 31-year-old Jim Barr, who became a real estate salesman less than 15 months ago and expects to make $60,000 this year. That's a result of good, hard work plus the runaway prices of property.

He wants money: Dr. Mario Piacenza of the southern Italian town of Altomonte is in Toronto lookin for funds to build a school for peasant children. He's hoping to get it from the parents of the children he's leading here - natives of Alomonte who left their home town for North America. So far, he's visited 7 cities on a 3-month North American tour but has raised only $2,000 of the $20,000 he needs. He's had a picnic with Altomonteans here and plans another one.
