Guidelines For Living con Harold Sala

A reporter from a Toronto newspaper was asked to do a story on garages which made unreasonable charges.  The reporter pulled a couple wires lose in the electrical system of his car and drove into garages asking for an estimate on repairs which varied from $25 to over $400.  After he got the estimates, he declined to have the work done, drove around the corner and hooked up the wires, and went on  to the next garage.  He pulled into the thirteenth garage and explained the problem‑‑a severe miss in the engine so Cecil Baynton poked around for a few minutes and spotted the problem, plugged in the wires, and the car was running like new.  "How much do I owe you?" asked the reporter.  "Oh, nothing at all!"  "Surely I must owe you something," countered the reporter (whose identity wasn't known to Cecil).  "Naw," he said, "I'm a Christian and run an honest shop!"  He refused payment.
