Local business men who deal in Toronto and various other people who have occasion to be there during the day will gas up there for a few cents cheaper rather than at home. NEED STANDARDIZATION Another service station owner expressed the wish gasoline prices be standarized, "'If this was put into effect we could all make a living. The people who sell gas as a drawing card are ruining the business," he charged. He also said unbrand- ed gasoline stations were cut- ting into the business. Business has taken a turn for the better said an Oshawa serv- ice station spokesman. He said during the holiday season he has sold more gas than before. He put it down to the cold weather -- "people would rath- er purchase their gasoline close to home than travel elsewhere to save a few cents." Sales have dropped by 10 per cent for another Oshawa gas merchant during the past month.

Newspaper Strike Talks Recessed NEW YORK (AP)--A federal mediator has recessed indefin- itely negotiations between the striking International Typo- graphical Union's local No. 8 and publishers of the city's nine major newspapers. William E. Simkin, director of the federal mediation and con- ciliation service, said Thursday "there has been no tangible movement" by either party. He recessed the talks after two joint mee tings, on the grounds that representatives of the printers' union and the pub- lishers were "substantially at the same position they were at the time the strike began" 28 days ago. - Simkin said, "'we suggested that it was time for the union to move--a substantial move-- but, as is their right, the union said they were not prepared to do so at this time." He said the publishers had in- dicated they were ready to move beyond their $9.20-a-week total offer, ""'but at an appropri- ate time." The New York publishers have offered the printers a package of $9.20 spread over two years. Local 6 has demanded a weekly wage increase of $18.48 spread over two years, The pre strike average basic wage was . $141 a week on the day shift.
