The Vancouver Sun from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada • 27

THIRD SECTION LIVELY ARTS, LIVING TODAY 27 VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, MONDAY, MAY 17, 1971 Police in B.C. ask pay parity considerably behind Vancouver in wages. "We feel that they should have parity because a policeman is a policeman. There should be no question about parity," he said. "A bullet is just as hard over there as it is here." Sgt.

Robert Stewart, a Vancouver policeman who is secretary of the federation, said the federation is trying to standardize wages throughout the province. The group includes municipal police forces on Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley, and Nelson. Most Interior communities are policed by the RCMP. Stewart said that in Ontario, the satellite area police forces have parity with Toronto. He said that before the weekend settlement for Vancouver a policeman on a three or four-man force in Ontario earned more than a Vancouver policeman.

Constable Ken Horsman, president of the Victoria Policemen's Union, said he thought the Vancouver settlement was areasonable award, but not exceptional. He said the Victoria force has been in negotiations since October for its 1971 contract, in which it seeks parity with Vancouver. Horsman said Victoria's wages are now extremely low, and as of July 1 they will be $173 a month behind Vancouver. In Vancouer, Aid. Ernie Broome said that city council will have a hard time finding the money to pay the wage increase.

"I'm very disappointed with this unreasonable award," he said. Municipal police officers throughout B.C. are aiming to match the Vancouver policeman's wage increase of about 15 per cent in this year's contract negotiations. Constable Ernie Doyle, president of the B.C. Federation of Peace Officers, said most of the departments in the federation will be going for parity with Vancouver.

He said that some negotiations are under way now and others will be starting, after waiting to find out what the Vancouver settlement would be. Vancouver police officers were awarded an extra $125 a month in two stages of a one-year contract. It will bring a constable's pay up to $887 a month after July 1. The decision was handed down Saturday by arbitrator D. R.

Blair, a former police commissioner. Blair said that included in the wage increase was a $65-a-month cash settlement to bring the Vancouver force into line with Eastern Canadian police force categories. Doyle, a member of the Delta police force, said that those departments which have parity with Vancouver now will be going for the same increase as Vancouver, while other departments will try to catch up. He said Delta now has parity. Doyle said some Greater Vancouver forces already have agreements with clauses granting them the same increase as Vancouver gets.

Port Moody is included in this group. Doyle said the greatest challenge will be in Vancouver Island forces which are old one at upper right as More than three miles of Dan Scott Photo part of three-year-project. work will cost $6.3 million.

Police said Sunday night that a rifle and shotgun had also been taken in the burglary, but had since been recovered. Larry K. Nicholson found his apartment broken into early Saturday and discovered that the eight negotiable certificates of Control Metal Corp. were missing, police said.

A man in another apartment told police he had taken the firearms but not the stock certificates. Police said the man told them that he had taken the weapons for his own protection. The man is known to Nicholson, police said. No charges were laid.

Point, 19, of Lake Erroch, near Agassiz, and Steve Kisik, 15, of Nanaimo. They had identical times of hours. Walk organizer Butch Smi-therham and his son, Tom, of 3848 West Fourteenth, squeezed the walk into two days, finishing at 8:15 p.m. Saturday. They said they had a double or nothing bet on their pledges, and raised $1,000 between them for completing the walk within two days.

They both had times of 24 hours. March co-ordinator Paul Stanley estimated the walkers raised about $35,000 for native Indian organizations, including the North American Indian Brotherhood, the southern Vancouver Island tribal federations, the Indian Home-makers Association and the B.C. Association of Non-Status Indians. He said the drop from the $65,000 raised last year was due to the pledge minimum of 50 cents a mile. Stanley praised church and service clubs along the route for making life easier for the wa'kers, and singled out St.

John Ambulance for special mention. "I don't think we could ever do a walk without St. John," he said. A blistered and weary group of Moccasin Miles walkers reached the finish line at the Pacific National Exhibition around noon Sunday. Ten hours later some of the 500 alkers were still coming in with their head-bands, sleeping bags and packs, their feet sore after three days and 98 miles on the road.

Although the majority were students, the walkers included 80-year-old pensioner Dove Kanee of 4037 Oak, who completed the walk for the third year in a row. Aid. Harry Rankin was among the first to finish, arriving at 1 p.m. Sunday. He estimated he had walked about 225 miles for various causes in the past two months.

Rankin raised $500 for completing the latest route. Siberian husky Krysti padded across the finish line at 4:30 p.m. accompanied by her owner, Laura Oakland of 7517 Imperial in Burnaby. They were among 700 participants who left Vancouver city hall early Friday on a circular route through Lang-ley, Abbotsford, Mission, Haney and back to Vancouver.

The federal government has awarded the centre, known as LIME (Life Is Meaning Enough) $11,500 under its aid to youth program, and municipal council has now given the group use of a municipally-owned private dwelling in residential Westview. Allan FOTHERINGHAM Students are promised a better life than a washroom janitor and less risk of being out of work. They are rarely told that a washroom janitor does as necessary a job in our society as a lawyer or an economist. It is not surprising, therefore, that our universities are filled with young people. Are they all overwhelmed by the financial prospects offered when they obtain degrees? As I have said these are no mark of the worth of the holders as men and women, which should be the purpose of an education.

WE ARE EXPECTED to cry "Shame" when, as was recently reported, the Science Council of Canada was told, no doubt with regret, that there could be a surplus of 400 PhD holders in the country tnis year, with the probable surplus of another 500 next year. Rarely do we hear shocked comments when a fisherman or a ditch-digger is unable to get a job, despite their qualifications. Is not it time we accepted that a man or a woman who holds a university degree is not more entitled to a well-paid job than a man who walks the streets or an Indian confined to a reserve? They, too, are men. It seems to be the present aim of our education system to fill the whole of British Columbia with PhDs, MAs, LLDs and others with top degrees in engineering, business matters, agriculture and the rest of the hierarchy, for a mere BA degree is accepted these days as a tiny thing. Who will then do the rest of the work that must be done? Who will drive the buses and trucks, become policemen, store clerks, typists, nurses, farm workers? All these occupations and many others are important or the world will come to a halt.

Even soldiers are needed as much as generals. Many of our learned PhDs, MAs and the others could give up the ghost tomorrow and by and large we would somehow struggle on without them. This does not mean that they do not have some roles to play. They are needed. But for goodness sake let us not continue to suggest that everyone should be a PhD or an MA and that this is the only reason why there are universities.

Swedish editor Funderal service was held today for Matthew M. Lind-fors, editor of the Swedish Press since 1933 and a member of Vancouver's Swedish community. Mr. 1 died last Wednesday after a lengthy illness. He was 72.

For many years Mr. Lind-fors conducted night classes in Swedish for the Vancouver school board. By BILL RATNER After 40 moves and close to five hours of play, Bobby Fischer of the U.S. and Mark Taimanov of the Soviet Union failed to reach a conclusion Sunday in the opening game of their world chess championship quarter-final match. When the game was adjourned, however, with Taimanov sealing his 41st move, Fischer held the stronger position.

Playing black, he essayed the King's Indian defence agr.inst Taimanov's queen pawn opening. A new wrinkle on the 11th move, plus Taimanov's passive play in the opening, allowed Fischer to control the tempo of the game. Taimanov tried an adventure on the queen side but came out of it a pawn down. He then sacrificed a rook for a bishop and attempted pressure on the king side. After a briskly-played opening, the game slowed down while the players explored the complicated position created by Taimanov's 30th move.

After some delicate manoeuvring, Fischer started exchanging pieces and soon both queens were gone. Taimanov by then had regained the pawn and started collecting more. However, at adjournment, Fischer had the heavier artillery plus two connected pawns in the centre and a Jc on the eighth rank. A mating attack by white was in the offing when Taimanov sealed. Taimanov started the game at precisely 4:01 p.m.

and started Fischer's clock running. Five minutes later, Fischer strolled up to the stage of the Student Union Building movie theatre at the University of B.C., where the 10-game match is being played. He pondered several seconds, then made his first move. Neither player was in time trouble as they neared their 40th move, although Fischer's pressure caused Taimanov to think several minutes over his 41st move. The game was played before an orderly crowd of more than 200.

Fischer glanced toward the audience several times during the game but displayed no Irritation. It was his demand for the game to be played in a private room, contested by rites held In addition to editing the Swedish Press, he also ran the Scandinavian Film Service from 1939 to 1954 and was correspondent for the Canadian International Service from 1947 to 1959. He is survived by his wife Edla in Vancouver, his son William in Seattle, three brothers Carl, Otto and Eric and two sisters, Maggie Simle and Elvira Hallen, A British millionaire is often happy to know that sooner or later he will be given the accolade of a medieval title to put before his name as a mark of his worth in the world. Many Canadian millionaires of equal wealth may scorn what they call this out-dated nonsense, as, indeed, it is. They beat their breasts and cry they need no handles to their names to show their superiority because their names will always stand foremost among men.

Yet you may be sure that if the Ottawa government, in a rare burst of genius, invented some high-sounding titles for the deserving, better by far than the common names of sir, lord and lady, there would be a rush from Vancouver Island, Newfoundland and all eager places in between to join the ranks of the high and the mighty. There would be much wearing of the ermine or would it be the bear skin? Apart from our millionaires, who must sometimes wish they lived in Britain where their money would be accepted at its proper worth as the examples of a few Canadians of note have shown and our politicians, who deserve no titles anyway, we have the members of another class who are said to be superior. They put their titles after and not before their names to show that they should occupy important positions, and hence often financially rewarding. I refer to the holders of university degrees, of lesser or higher renown. These, like money, are accepted as the sign of greatness and of merit.

They are nothing of the kind, of course. A UNIVERSITY DEGREE merely signifies that the holder has passed an examination after some years of toil, whether arduous or not. In my time I have known doctors of this and that who, learned as they might have been, knew less about the antics of this world than my grandfather and he was taken away from school at the age of seven years. It is the man or the woman who matters. Nevertheless, the title of a university degree continues to hold much weight in this democratic age.

It dazzles the eye and sometimes deludes an employer. For this reason, more and more of our young people accept the word of those who hold such degrees that only if they go to universities and pass examinations which need but a piper knowledge will they be offered Important positions. Financial reward has become the purpose of a degree. i MONTREAL AT 20 MINUTES past four yesterday afternoon, Frank Mahovlich, that well known French-Canadian, stole the puck and poked it forward to his brother Peter who took his time and whipped It into the Chicago net for the winning goal. Peter, who as well as being the largest player in the National Hockey League is the most boyishly exuberant, galloped down the ice in little boy hops, leaping with vate school at McGill become a "French-Canadian ghetto like Quebec City." Montreal is an international business centre and must work under different rules.

It's the fault, it seems, of all those academics In Quebec City who are pushing Bourassa into insisting that French become the working language in industry. "These administrators in Quebec City now write letters to all the English-speaking social agencies in French." So you have the situation of two men who operate in English, writing back and forth in French. The investment man is more concerned about jobs. "Unemployment is a direct indicator of riots." Unemployment in Quebec is now 10.1 per cent. We watched the Trudeau TV interview.

The investment man laughs, recalling that he was present when the Montreal party men had their first meeting with Trudeau over the possibility of him standing for election. "We knew he couldn't get elected in a French riding and we didn't know if we could find an English riding for him. Pierre showed up in sandals and we had to send him home to change before the blue-suited party heavies arrived. He came back in a sports jacket and still stood out a mile." He despairs of Trudeau's lack of economic knowledge and the theorists around him. "He won't talk to practical economic people." The investment man gazes at the season's first barbecue.

"French-Canadians have to learn English." He enjoyed the hockey game. He always docs. He gazes out from Beaconsfield over to little Pte. Claire and says, "I can operate without French." owner of an investment fund who is saying, "I can operate without French." There is the little village of Pte. Claire, poking out into where the St.

Lawrence becomes Lake St. Louise. There are the old stone houses of the French families, a nunnery and the Pte. Claire Yacht Club. Adjoining is the little village of Beac-onsfield and 300 yards down the bay is the Beaconsfield Yacht Club.

Equal but separate. The lawn furniture is tentatively raised from its winter grave. The investment man recalls that up until 1966 or '67 his French-Canadian friends the Phil-lippe de Gaspe Beaubiens and so on automatically switched to English whenever he was present. No longer. They are friends but now they speak only French in his presence and he may catch only one quarter of what is going on.

He agrees that yes, perhaps, he should be learning it he refers to it as a "hobby." It reminds one of David Molson, of the hockey and beer Molsons, most famous Anglo-Saxon family in Montreal, who recently confessed in reply to Mordecai Richler's question that no, his children weren't being taught French but that the maid was French Canadian and that they "picked up" quite a bit. Bourassa? "He's what 36? He knows all about the growth rate in Japan and the currency exchange in Germany. But since they look La-porte, he's without someone who can relate to actual conditions in Quebec." The investment man doesn't want to see his Montreal he weut to pri like the power-to-the-people adherents and with somewhat the same defiance. Les Canadiens had spoken. The hockey team is an expression of something else within a race had asserted itself.

The release of the crowd was a manifestation of something beyond mere hockey. We sell all our resources for wampum, and Hockey Night in Canada has now become Hockey Afternoon for American TV, but the Montreal crowd overcomes all. On this warm, sunny Sunday in May the male patrons are decked out like the forest in Guys and Dolls, all flashing stripes and gangsterish sports coats. The visual threat of hot pants has taken over this portion of the land and the ladies (not just the girls, ladies too) present an appearance that is awe-inspiring and is better Imagined than described. It is all part, I suppose, of the atmosphere of the Forum, where the expression of a race can come through unflawed.

The Hulls and the Stapletons and the Chico Makis on the opposing team, all from perfectly good portions of Canada, gave the impression of being bowed down by the experience, by the feeling that they had to endure, 60 minutes of hockey in this very faraway foreign port before escaping back to reality. TWO HOURS LATER I AM IN A back garden in Beaconsflcld, some 30 miles west of Montreal, talking to Die uncontrolled glee. He sought out his stolid older brother in the middle of the ice of the Montreal Forum, flung his arms around him and crushed him. The other players hung back for a moment this little family tableau of the sons of a Croatian immigrant taking precedence for a fraction of time over the group celebration. At the same time there arose a roar unlike any roar I hnve ever heard at a sporting occasion.

It was a sound that went beyond the ecstatic, orgiastic roar of ordinary crowds. It was a deafening sound of almost animallike satisfaction and it sustained itself, holding up proceedings by its mere presence. My seat was high In the greys and all around me stood Stanley Cup spectators with their fists thrust Into the air, somewhat 1.
