B6 Castlai News November 27, 1985 Execs having bad year TORONTO (CP) — While no one. may know whether this is a record year, a lot of chief executive officers in Canada have gone from the + corner suite to the unemploy: ; ment line in 1985. * The list of the departed includes some of the coun- try’s most influential execu- tives. Donald McGivern, presi- dent of Hudson's Bay Co. of Winnipeg; Clifford Frame, top man at Denison. Mines Ltd. of Toronto; Dean Mun- easter, head of Canadian Tire; Radcliffe Latimer, No. 1 man at. TransCanada Pipe- Lines Ltd. of Calgary; and Darcy McKeough of Union Enterprises Ltd. all received the ax in 1985. The list goes on to embrace such notalbes as former Crownx Inc. president Rob- ert Bandeen. So far, only Frame has regained the high public eet oan RENT-A-BOBCAT- profile and the hefty. stipen that come with the top job. He quickly launched Curragh Resources, Corp. Ltd. of Whitehorse, and is well on his way to reopening a major new lead-zine mine at Faro, Yukon. z Do these captains of indus- try deserve sympathy when they depart with rich settle- ments from companies anxi- ous to keep them quiet? “I've had people: go, thro- ugh here threatening suicide when they've got a $1 million in their pocket,” ‘said Eric Barton, vice-president at Thorne Stevenson and Kel- logg of Toronto. Barton heads the company’s CEO Plan, which provides reloca- tion counselling for top executives. He clearly believes the world owes dispossed presi- dents a small measure of sympathy, even though many companies .give their depa- rted chiefs up-to three years salary, bonuses and’ stock options for leaving. “CEOs are extremely powerful people and they're also the lonliest guys in the “corporation structure,” said Barton. “When they go from being kingmakers to being nothing, I think they hurt more than middle managers, because they have been so alone.” Others in the executive search business pooh-pooh the idea that CEOs have to be pampered, while middle managers or assembly line workers are simple fodder for the unemployment statis- tics. Bruce Ward, a. partner in Woods Gordon of Toronto, says. unemployed CEOs usually don’t stay jobless for long. - “Most of them have prob- ably been getting two or three approaches: a week from people like. me,” said Ward. He described all the recently-canned presidents as “very attractive prop- erties” who will get a jov when the right situation comes along. ~ CEOs “are the Ferraris of the business world and Fer- raris tend to stay in the showroom window for six or seven months,” said indepen- dent consultant Herman Smith of Toronto. “They don't turn over in a few days like Chevrolets. 3 USCC conference MOST-TRAVELLED TOT RECALLS EXPERIENCES * EVANSVILLE, IND. (AP) — George Chauncey Clouse, now five, recalls a sojourn in Portugal, a scare in’ Tibet and stays in 112 other countries that have made him the Guinness Book of Records’ most-travelled tot. Just 10 weeks after Chauncey was born he began travelling with his parents who take trips “literally as soon as we have enough cash,” his mother, Georgia Clouse, said. The boy dimly recalls a vacation in Portugal when, as a toddler, he threw a baby bottle from a 23rd-floor balcony and almost hit someone on the street below. “That was when I was a little kid,” Chauncey said with a grin. “I don’t remember it very much.” The worldly Evansville native’s citation as most- travelled in the 1986 edition of the Guinness book was based on research from the Travellers’ Century Club, an ganization for world i his parents, John and Georgia Clouse. John Clouse is a lawyer who works 12-hour days to pay for the family’s extensive tours; his wife is a freelance writer. They took Chauncey on a road trip to the southern United States when he was 22: months old. Shortly thereafter, they were off to the South Pacific. After vii ing 114 countries, Chauncey has n problem choosing his worst experience. - : TRIES YAK BUTTER “In Tibet, they tried to smear yak butter on my eyes,” Chauncey said. “Daddy put me on his shoulders so they wouldn't get near me.” oe Georgia Cause’ said the Tibetans apparently had itethild before — or at least one with such blue eyes — and ‘used the yak butter to “anoint” ‘never seen a whi Chauncey. The worst food, he said, was in the Orient. “There was this little Japanese island where for breakfast we had fish and purple and green pickles. All 1 ate was rice with soy sauce on it.” Chauncey won't forget his scariest experience — accidently wandering away from his parents in Munich when he was about three years old. “I walked along the street with my fists up and said, ‘No, no, no’ to everything,” he said. “Some little ladies followed me and brought me back , to where mommy was.” It was also pretty scary when elephants charged the family’s van in Sri Lanka. “We just turned our backs and drove away real quick,” he said. What is Chauncey’s favorite country? “Right here in America,” he said with a grin.
