Doreen MacDonald picked up a toaster from a pile of battered appliances in the Qeen St. E. Soup-to-nuts junk store run by Jack Himself Cohen. One dollar. Himself said. Does it work? Doreen asked. I don't know. Why don't you plug it in and find out? All I do is sell as is. You won't plug it in? No. Doreen paid the $1 and once again proved Himself's credo: I don't polish anything. I learned my lesson when I polished the $25 special finish off a candelabra early in business. Since then I sell everything just as it is. [Incomplete]

Manager Joe Carton in the building he knows better than anyone, Massey Hall. He's worked there 53 years, starting as a 14-year-old usher. Sometimes when I shave in the morning, I think I am starting to look like Massey Hall.

Way to play ball! The Kaplan brothers, Darryl, 13, Randy, 15, and Cary, 18, deserve their own Sports Hall of Fame - just to house the thousands of baseball cards and other memorabilia the North York trio have collected since they were in diapers

Serge Robidas, Seven-year-old Serge Robidas reads very well and I especially like the math that we have to do -- stuff like one plus one and three plus two

I just met a man who doesn't have a single complaint. Sik Kan Chung is 91. It took him 15 minutes to walk across the park to Woodgreen Community Centre from his place to meet me. Ten years ago it took him only 10 minutes. Another 10 years, maybe it will take half an hour, he said, laughing so hard his glasses slid down his nose. [Incomplete]

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. He forecasts continued sluggishness in trading until corporate earnings improve. Thornburn thinks there could be new speculation in oil and gas stocks when results of winter drilling become available. Cost-cutting and other controls have prepared brokers for any new storms, he says.

George Bell admits: I'm not the hitter I used to be, George Bell, who doesn't often talk to the press, reflected on his baseball career recently with a Star reporter and confessed that his big hitting days are probably over.
