Refinishing pine tool moulds is just one of the projects 27-year-old Bill Don has taken on since he and he and his wife Bev decided to fulfil his life's dream, to run their own store. Ardith One, on Yonge St., features antiques and artifacts the pair has collected over the past two years. The young couple say that mixing marriage and business has given them something to work on for the rest of their lives.

Brock St. in downtown Uxbridge will have a completely different look in 1978 if president Harold Black and the other 35 members of the Development Association have their way. They want $32,000 grant from the federal Local Initiatives Program to pay for much of the week and to complete a master plan. In the meantime, they expect to start the rejuvenation in the next few months with such projects as setting out trees in concrete pots and taking down ugly signs.

Running a railroad, even if it's government-owned, means behaving like a business. Jean Cormier, vice-president of public relations for Canadian National, says many people don't understand that. Cormier said that because of its government association, many people view the railway as inefficient, bureaucratic, wasteful. CN is out to change that, although it has many problems because it still is an Ottawa-operated and deficit-plagued entity.
