Loading children into the back of his station wagon for a trip home from nursery school, bus operator John Davis says he is breaking the law but he must do it to make a living and I have learned how to carry children in the safest possible way. Police vigilance has been increased since a recent accident that involved a school bus in which 11 child passengers were shaken up.

Vernon Dollard, president and general manager of Toronto Better Business Bureau, says the bureau will dig up the facts on business promotions, but that anyone who asks it for advice or information will have to do some thinking for himself. Some people, he says, look for favorable answers and will ignore warnings nine times out of ten. Bureau staff is told to stick to facts and not make judgments.

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]
