The Ottawa Citizen from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada • 3

Dec. 28, 1972 Page 3 but some of us thought he teas By The Canadian Pres Judy LaMarsh, secretary of state in former prime minister Lester Pearson's cabinet, said that while "he wasn't God there those of us who thought he was." "Mike brought out the best in people. I doubt if there was anyone who ever hated him," she said in remembering the Pearson years. "He once told me that there was no such thing as the common man, that everyone had some uncommon qualities. "That's the kind of person he was he spent his whole life trying to make things better for others.

He had clay feet like the rest of us He may have had failings as a prime minister or as a leader, but he had few failings as a human being." Michener recalled Mr. Pearson's service to "the whole society of nations." In a statement from Government House today, Mr. Michener said the news of Mr. Pearson's death would bring grief and a sense of loss not only to Canada but to the world as well. Mr.

Michener noted the long and varied career of the statesman-turned-politician, saying those who knew him "shall give him a perennial place in our hearts and memories." He extended his sympathies and those of the Queen to the Pearson family. In a final tribute, he said: "No Canadian of our time has been so deservedly renowned for his influence in the direction of conciliation and peace among the nations. "We thank God for a life which has been of such profound benefit to his times." Edgar Benson, minister of national revenue in Mr. Pearson's cabinet, said. "I don't think I ever saw him get really angry.

He was a great guy, with a tremendous personality and feeling for other people." Senator Keith Davey, national Liberal organizer under Mr. Pearson, said it was difficult to think of him without imagining his humor. "If you had done something which was dumb, he showed enough humor that he never really put you down. But often made you feel more put down than if he really blasted you," said Senator Davey. Donald Macdonald, minister of energy and resources, said Mr.

Pearson didn't "get uptight about things that other politicians got uptight about." "One of my colleagues discovered early that one way to get lots of press coverage was to attack his leader in the press. But after these blistering attacks, Pearson would greet him cheerfully in the hall and ask him how he was. It completely deflated him." Former cabinet minister J. W. Rck-ersgill said he was saddened at the loss of his long-time colleague but said his death wasn't a shock.

"I learned some time ago that his illness was much more serious than was revealed," he said. He said he was proud to have been associated with a man whose name, more than any other, had come to symbolize Canada to the world.
