      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.

      Working wives are taking over from happy little homemakers as the most influential force shaping retail operations and advertising, according to Toronto adman David Cravit. Women like Carol Anne Calderone, shown with Cravit, are forcing stores to extend hours and change times of clearance sales. Toronto supermarkets are already experimenting with late shopping hours.

      Peak hour demands strain the capacity of Island ferries, but there's a shortage only 120 hours a year so there are no plans to extend the service. Similar problems affect other recreation facilities
