Yea. To Principal John Plumpton of Jane Junior High School in North York for trying to get more students to read books. Twice a week staff and students are given 50 minutes of the day just to read - anything they like. Some of them may discover that reading is a joy, even though it's a little more work than watching a TV scree. It's a nice idea.

Circular Bed is where Savo Bojicie likes to lounge, spread out his papers and do lots of his creative work. The large bedroom area is designed like a small apartment where Savo and his wife can escape from the children and be alone. The bed has subtle light flowing out from underneath and it makes you feel as if you're floating in space, he said.

Last summer, he sold encyclopedias. This summer, university student Mark Dingman is selling himself - as the first prize in an unusual raffle. Dingman 21, of Toronto, has decided to raffle himself - or more precisely, 16 hours of his time - to make money for school. I wanted to run my own business. This took minimum capitalization and had minimal risk, should it fail, said Dingman, a McGill University student. And it seems like a good skill to learn, to sell yourself. Dingman is going door-to-door with his Student Slaves raffle and a very professional pitch. Tickets go for $1.99 each (or three for $5) and there are 200 in each draw. The first raffle is scheduled for Tuesday and the winner gets Dingman for 16 hours to do anything from cleaning ovens to fixing eavestroughs.

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.
