We should ever conduct ourselves toward our enemy
as if he were one day to be our friend — John Cardinal
Newman

. « .

“It must not only be technically sound — that's the

easy part — it must also make a statement; it has to
sing.”
‘The day before I .eft for the Abbey (that’s more than
three months ago, and an indication of how far I can get
behind in my work), I had a visitor, who in a very brief
half-hour interview managed to renew my faith in at least
one aspect of our culture, and to confirm my confidence in
our own community.

His name is Mike E. Murphy and he is — among
other things — a special projects engineer, a world
traveller, a trustee for training workers in Alberta, a
member of the Science Foundation Board, a former
student of Stanley Humphries secondary school and
Selkirk College, and the No. 1 booster for his hometown
and what it has to offer its ambitious young people.

After graduating from SHSS in 1966, Mike continued
his education, first at Selkirk College, and then at the
University of Alberta in Edmonton. He joined the Bird

‘The Soviets area
show-me people’

Construction Co. as a purchasing agent and \started to
move ‘upwards in a series of steps to become a special
projects engineer. This, he defined as one who specializes
in projects which fall outside the scope of general
contracting and which entail a higher than normal degree
of difficulty or risk.

When we met he had just completed a pair of such
projects for Expo. One of these was an Indian exhibits
motif for the Canada pavilion, and the second — and much
larger — was for the Soviet pavilion, the largest exhibit
on the Expo site. Negotiations for the contract, for which
the was responsible, were long and complex, and took six
months to The jon of pavili is
different from regular contract jobs, he said. It involves
rapid construction, special materials and an extensive

ledge of and i
“It is the show biz side of the building trades since its
function is display. Moreover, time schedules are
usually close and completion time rigid — in the case of
the Soviet building, May 1,” he said.

This meant great pressure for everyone involved.
When, at the end of March the Canadian workers had
completed the construction of the building, the Soviets
arrived on April 1 with 120 technicians plus interpeters to
install 500 cases — each six-feet by six-feet by eight-feet
— of displays. One of these displays alone, a statue of the
first cosmonaut, Yuri Gargarin,; was 30-feet high.

“How did you get along with these Soviets?” I asked.

“Superbly.” he said. “The Soviets had sent over their
very best technicians and I was proud when our
Canadians kept up with them throughout the entire job.

Reflections
& recollections

‘They are a ‘show-me’ people, but when they saw how
hard we were working, within a few days we were
working in total harmony and understanding.

“The women interpreters,” he continued, “had a bit
of trouble at first, particularly with some of the technical
jargon. However, the interaction between the Canadian
and Russian technicians soon became so close that the
interpreters were scarcely needed.

“My opposite number, the chief Soviet architect
would talk in a mixture of broken English, a
little Russian, sign language, and, knowing a little of what
we wanted, we got along fine.”

“The Soviets,” he said, “are very safety conscious.
When they arrived we issued everyone with safety
helmets. Since, however, most of the dangerous work
was over, it was understood that they would only be worn
in potentially dangerous areas but left off at other times.

“The Russians used them all the time, we didn't. One
day the Soviet architect took me aside and said, ‘Would
you please wear your safety hat. It sets a good example.
Besides, we need you for the rest of the job.’ ”

Mike chuckled at the recollection, then added: “But
he was right.”

“What,” I wanted to know, “made things go so well
for you.”

“We were both skilled professional teams,” Mike
explained, “and that set a foundation of mutual respect.
We were both working against that absolute deadline of
May 2, and that made cooperation essential. Then there
was the acceptance of cultural and political differences.
And finally, the fact that we were all human, prone to
error and unable to know everything, all imperfect.”

The interpreters, for example, sometimes became
embarrassed and frustrated and both Canadian and
Russian technicians would pat them on the shoulder and

It is comforting to know
that in every emergency
Jesus is always near, just a
prayer away.

With Him there are no
problems — only solutions.
Even the fowl of the air
receive His personal at-
tention.

“Are ye not much better

Then let's take courage,
what do you say? Find refuge
in His promise: “I will never
leave you nor forsake you,”
and these tension-producing
times will have little effect on
our inner peace.

We are graven upon the
