cnr said to be favorable to buffet car service in a letter from the chairman and president of the cnr to the mun icipal council of lindsay the offi cials are said to have expressed favorable consideration of the re quest for a buffet car on nos 93 and 94 through stouffville to and from toronto the communication said that the company was quite disposed to con sider the matter when the equip ment situation was favorable again if and when a buffet car is placed on this service it is just possible that those who find 930 rather early in the morning to leave for toronto will be able to take breakfast on the train and thus steal a few more winks of sleep before getting ready to leave home of course the idea of this service is primarily for those who take this train much farther north
