Living on a boat at Toronto Island Marina means that Pat and John Dyer can cast off and sail for the Bahamas if they feel like it -- but it also means claustrophobia that impels them to dine out three times a week. A dozen people live on boats in Metro all year, and life afloat suits them just fine.

      Futures trading in currencies and commodities has paid off handsomely for fomer Windsor high school teacher Jim Carroll, who parlayed $750 into more than $150,000. His new wealth, he says, means he might just play chess for a year in 1974. Here he is enjoying a game with wife Mary Pat. Worldwide shortages have made commodity futures a fertile area for speculation, Carroll points out.
