Clare and Bob Duck run Bob's Truck Stop in Campbellville for men who drove cross-country trucks, not for tourists. It's good, plain, solid food cooked to keep a trucker satisfied for the next 300 miles. Mrs. Duck says. Tourists tend to eat lighter foods like salads. Duck is a mechanic and worked in the Arctic for 13 years, taking supplies in by cat train. They opened the restaurant in January.

Our son Matthew ought to be raised in a city like this, says Andrew Biemiller, formerly of Washington, D.C., a psychologist at the University of Toronto Institute of Child Studies. He didn't choose Canada because of the draft - his wife Frances was from Toronto - but he says the war has left the U.S. with unsolved problems.

Mild recession looks likely this yar, says Dr. Raymond Saulnier, an influential U.S. economist. The watch in his palm doesn't involve some strange piece of economic sysmbolism. He was merely timing his talk in Toronto today.

Eye operation: Eye surgeon Dr. Lionel Chisholm of Toronto Western Hospital says a research clinic here would provide a centre where he and other doctors could share information on eye treatment techniques with researchers. Because there is no eye research institute in Canada, those with disease or injures often travel to the U.S., the site of the nearest eye centres.

Nobody likes hearing what Ted Delahay thinks - at least not right now, because the Canadian-born New York financial analyst and consultant expects a collapse. He says U.S. government probably will soon be backing price supports, rather than price cuts. Canada, he fears, is to receive an economic jolt.

Business booming: Allan Cohen of Grant's Jewellers on Church St. with some of the items that he has bought recently. One man brought in an exquisite emerald he'd paid $34,000 (U.S.) for 2 1/2 years ago. Cohen bought it - for a third of that. I'm looking for a 10 to 15 per cent profit on the stone, Cohen says.
