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.

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]
