The writers were Morley Callaghan, 87, the grand old man of (Canadian letters who died Aug. 25 in a Toronto hospital, and Hugh MacLennan, 83, best known for his novel Two Solidtudes, who died Nov. 8 at his Montreal home. The moncymaker was Harold Ballard, who made a fortune as owner of Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. He died at age 86, on April i.

That brought on election speculation. But then the Bud Smith tapes af- fair broke. Smith, then attorney general, was taped on his car phone while making some disparaging television last January to tell his People what was in his future. He's going to quit, people said. As usual, Vander Zalm fooled them.

His first, Barometer Rising, came out in 1941, followed by The Precipice; The Watch That Ends the Night, and Return of the Sphinx. While writers leave their work, Ballard left a legacy of money — $110 million — and that by the family, for $14 million-plus. That represented a nice profit, and it turned out Vander Zalm owned more than 80 per cent of the shares-in the park. ‘That was bad because he had maintained publicly he only owned a small share and that his wife was the majority owner. Confronted with this, he said variqusly he had forgot- ten to change the ownership, that he thought he had changed the owner- ship or that it really didn’t matter. But it mattered enough that Van- der Zalm put off the fall election. Now spring is the favored time.

Taking control of the landmark Maple Leaf Gardens in the early 1970s, Ballard never built a winning in 1928, just before he left Canada for Paris to joim the literary set that in- cluded Ernest Hemingway and F. being.

The forest companies also have some problems with land claims, as natives say much of the land being logged belongs to them. But that’s only a small part of land claims. Natives in British Columbia blocked various roads during the year and when injunctions were issued, often ignored them and were arrested. The standoff at Oka, Que., focused national attention on lack of action on land claims, and B.C. In- dians made the most of it. They blocked the main B.C. Rail line, closed logging roads and generally drew attention to their plight.
