:Robin Bourne: Wanted — to leave B.C.

B.C.’s top cop attracts heat

} VICTORIA (CP) — Robin
; Bourne, British Columbia's
; top cop, has a poster tacked to
his office wall headlined
3 ‘*Wanted — To Leave British
= Columbia."’
3 The poster has a picture of
3 Bourne and asks ‘‘Why Is He
“Here?”

“Why am I here?’’ asks
Bourne, B.C.’s new director
of police services. ‘It’s the
obvious question."’

; Why did he take a relatively

itame bureaucratic job after 10

years in a hush-hush and
troversial federal job in
curity and counter-intelli-

gence in Ottawa?

rove the province's policing

In short, Bourne, 51, son of
a former Shanghai police
commissioner, has been hired
to explaein to police how gov-
ernment works and to explain
to the government what the
police want and need.

Bourne has been travelling
the province since he started
April 1, talking to police
chiefs, riding in police cruis-
ers and visiting facilities like
Vancouver’s hotel for trans-
ient youth.

He reckons he’s ‘“‘still in
the honeymoon phase”’ with
police chiefs, but has to
convince them fast that ‘I’m
not just another level of
bureaucracy , that I’m the
person they can pick up their
phones and talk to.””

The office of energy con-

Canadians to insulate their

intergovernmental commi-

concluded it “should not be

“We feel very strongly

board's committee on the
foam, in March, 1977.

One month later, Alastair
Gillespie, who was then min-
ister of energy, sent a Telex
message to the president of a
foam manufacturer, saying
his department staff opposed’
the foam’s use.

Gillespie said urea formal-
dehyde could cause “corros-
sion in metals or rotting in
wood cavity walls, (which)
has led my department to
recommend other insulation
materials and to caution po-
tential users on the use of

urea formaldehyde.”

The product, estimated to
be in about 100,000 Canadian
homes, was banned last April
by the federal government
after reports of health side-
effects from the foam.

Ian Efford, director of the
conservation office, wrote
the deputy energy minister
in May, 1977, that “it is clear
that the test results to date
are insufficient to provide

reasonable assurance that |

the material will perform
adequately over an extended
period.”

Bournc is still holding on to
his federal pension — tech-
nically he’s on a federal-prov-
incial job exchange — but he
expects to be in B.C. for at
least two years.

He has to make up for a lot
of lost time, since B.C. is the
only province that hasn’t had
a co-ordinator of police ser-
vices at a high government
level.

Money will be his biggest
problem, says Bourne.

“There are not going to be

any more sources of funding
for police,’’ he sald. ‘The
citizens are paying all that
they can pay. We need to take
a careful look at how the
money is being spent, and
who decides what are the
priorities."”

He's interested in crime
prevention programs, espec-
ially those involving juven-
iles, and citizen participation
schemes like Neighborhood

+ Watch, as possible ways of

cutting costs.

Bourne says he keeps hear-
ing a lot of talk abound B.C,
about the need for a provin-
cial police force. He thinks it
would be ‘‘an awful shame if
we told the RCMP to go
home. The RCMP is so much
a thread of federalism. They
give a good high standard of
policing.

“You know, we're the only
country in the world that has a
police force as a national
symbol.’’

PORT ANGELES
Wash. (AP) - Smeared with
grease and mink oil, a
34-year-old man who
dubbed himself Captain
America plunged into the
Strait of Juan de Fuca on
Saturday to swim to Can-
ada with his hands and his
fee bound.

Alan Jones, a daredevil
and excercise enthusiast,
dipped his hand into the
eight-degree Celsius water
before entering and pron-
ounced it “balmy.”

He expressed only mild
concern about killer whales
which were seen in the
area recently.

Jones slid into the water
at 5:15 a.m. local time and
headed north on the 12-
hour swim between Wash-
ington state's Olympic
Peninsula and Vancouver
Island.

He was to be accomp-
anied by an 5.4 metre

ing by pulling his hands up
along his chest.

The real enemy was
expected to be the cold
water, but Jones said
several dozen killer whales
had been sighted in the
area in the last two weeks.

“It’s a big question mark
whether they'll bother a
swimmer, but I kind of
hate to be a test case,” he
said. y

There wasn’t much
‘chance a close-swimming
killer whale would miss
Jones, who coated his body
with mink oil to help with
heat retention.

Jones said the oil smells
like seal, “which is their
(killer whales’) - favorite
food.”

Cold is what has stopped
many strait swimmers in
the past. The U.S. Coast
Guard says the average
person can't last more than
90 minutes in eight-degree
water.

At convention

West-Fed

EDMONTON (CP) — It was
about 10 years ago that some
westerners began deciding
Prime Minister Trudeau was
a Communist.

Since then, they have
watched the prime minister
preside over inflation, the
introduction of ‘‘foreign’”

signs in metric and the
writing of a new constitution
they feel will take away their

rights.

The grievances pour out at
meetings like the West-Fed
convention held Aug. 8 at
Eckville, 3S kilometres west
of Red Deer, Alta.

The literature table at the
convention offered titles such
as French Power and Canada;
How the Communists Took

Control.
The Alberta Housewives’
League distributed. a

ies in the country, whose
products should be avoided as
part of a general protest
sagainst what one delegate
called “‘tne heavy yoke of
Central Ganada’s control.’’

A mimeographed leaflet
showed Trudeau’s head on
the body of a frog.

REGRET CHANGE

The approximately 200
people at the convention,
most of them from farms and
small towns, spoke wistfully
about ‘‘the old Canada.”

They wanted to destroy the
symbols of the new nation:
the metric system, bilingual-
ism, socialism, unions and
beaucracy.

The common element in
their policies is a yearning to
keep their lives free of med-
dling by far-away institutionss
They reject

brokers the way their fathers: -

and some of them did when
the Social Credit revolt swept
Alberta in the mid-1930s.

“We have not received any

big business.”’

The big companies are just

They dop’f give money to
anyone who really, needs it.

Dick Randall, an air force
veteran from Delburne, Alta.,
asked fellow delegates not to
create friction between West-

movements.

“As you probably know,

“It'll make Central Canada

Freida Hanson from the
Drumheller area told what
happened on day when she
sent into'a store and com-
plained in frustration at not
being able to find what she
wanted in one section where
all the ges had their
French side facing out.

Hanson said a girl in the
store told her she was paid to
check the shelves and turn the

Hanson then showed the
delegates a child’s toy she
said costs $1.25 in the United
States and about double that

was, the bilingual card
attached to the toy in Canada.
