It got as warm as 11C (52F) yesterday and that means melting ice. It will be a bit cooler today; with a high of about 5 to 7C and a chance of flurries. The snow probably will not amount to much and the weatherman [Incomplete]

      Vernon Dollard, president and general manager of Toronto Better Business Bureau, says the bureau will dig up the facts on business promotions, but that anyone who asks it for advice or information will have to do some thinking for himself. Some people, he says, look for favorable answers and will ignore warnings nine times out of ten. Bureau staff is told to stick to facts and not make judgments.
