Losing doesn't count yet

By STEVE McALLISTER
The Canadian Press

Joe Carter sat in the dugout with
his head bowed Tuesday night,
seconds after flying out feetly to
right field.

A television camera zoomed in on
the Toronto Blue Jays new right
fielder as he lifted a bat over his
head, apparently ready to turn it into
kiridling.

But Carter broke into a huge smile
and laughed as he gently handed the
bat back to a teammate.

Heck,’ it’s only spring training.

“People shouldn't put too much
emphasis on wins and losses here,”’
Carter said last week from the Jays’
spring quarters in Dunedin, Fal.
“The fans feel we should win all the
games, but that’s typical.

“When April 8 ( opening day)
rings, you'll see a different team.’"

The Jays’ faithful certainly hope
$0.

Toronto had only eight wins to its
credit through the first 25 games of
the, exhibition season. Only the
Detroit Tigers sported a worse pre-

nm mark (8-19) among the 26
major- league clubs.

“*You basically want your veterans
to get their work in, and you want to
give the younger: players as many at-
bats and innings as you can so you
can make a proper evaluation of
everyone,”’ says Expos manager
Buck Rodgers.

A successful Grapefruit League
campaign doesn’t always translate in-
to regular-season’ success and a losing
spring won't necessarily spiral into a
long summer.

Montreal rang up a club-record 20
exhibition wins in 1975, but finished
fifth in the National League East
with a 75-87 mark. In 1987, the Ex-
pos were 11-16 in the spring before
winning 91 games in the regular
season and finishing third.

Morality now justa word Speaker

BY JOHN CHARTERS

‘They be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind
lead the blind then both shall fall into the ditch. —
Matthew 15:14,

Many years ago when I was vice-principal of the
Trail Junior Secondary School two girls were brought to
my office, both laying vehement ownership to the same
battered, much autographed leatherette pencil case.
After listening to their claims and counter-claims for
half an hour I was unable to make a decision and took
the pair to the principal, a formidable and highly ethical
veteran of the education wars. He spent a further half
hour cross-examining the girls with an equal lack of
success.

We than called in one of their classmates who,
being a friend of both, was unwilling to commit himself
but did make the obvious suggestion of asking those
who had autographed the case to identify the owner. It
was done in a minute, and the decision unanimous, the
right girl was sent back to class. The principal then bent
his fiercest gaze on the cause of all the furore who,

» had almost i us both of her
innocence, and said through tightened lips, *‘why have
you kept two busy men here for an entrie hour, lying
through your teeth, claiming something that didn’t
belong to you?”

She answered simply, without a hint of guilt or
remorse: “*Because I wanted it, sir.””

It was a response that chilled me to the bone then
and chills me to this day. That-girl was totally without a
sense of right or wrong. She saw herself as the sole
judge of her conduct; her own wishes, appetites and
desires. The chill came from the realization that T'was
not looking at one lying schoolgirl with no concept of
ethical conduct (ethics being defined as the study of
right and wrong) but a growing attitude in society. In
the get-away-with-it philosophy of today, success only
means avoiding detection, failure is getting caught with
one’s fingers in the cookie jar. It is the only immorality.
Actions in themselves are neither right nor wrong, but
simply means to an end:-On the international level it
represents the Gulf War in a nut shell. God help us.

This is turn brings me to the second story: during
the war in the Mediterranean I had the dubious honor of
bringing the brigade bren-gun carriers up the shank of
Italy to the front. In the course of the long trek my
driver ii me, quite i that on
civvy street he had been a professional safe-cracker. It
was made-as simply a statement of fact. He could have
been a skilled machinist, carpenter or millwright, but he
wasn't. He opened safes — with or without explosives
and definitely without the knowledge of the owner. I
learned a lot about safecracking on the trip, now
forgotten. One evening our column arrived at Foggia, a
large city in the south central Italian plain. A few days
earlier some misdirected individual had dared to fire on
an advancing American division and the city had been
bombed and shelled into ruin. When dark fell my driver
disappeared to return in the early hours of the motning.
He was very annoyed. He had gone into the city and
after finding and opening one safe without result, had
found a wrecked jewellery shop with a promising vault.

He had spent much time in preparation and then blown
it, Before he could enter, however, the military police
patrol who had heard the noise came storming in at the
front door and he had to beat a hurried exit by a back
window. He had nothing to show for his night's work.
He bitterly and ri; about the police
interfering in the (as hew saw it) legitimate pursuit of his
craft. It was all their fault.

This leads into a third story on an opposite track
and a possible, partial remedy:

Back in the 1970s, I joined the Rossland Rotary
Club and there met the late J.C. Urquhart —
pioneer, pharmacist, W.W. I ace and former
magistrate, He was very old and very stern.

“John Charters?”’ he said after we had been
introduced, ‘You wouldn’t be related to a John
Charters who had a general store in Vancouver just
before the turn of the century?”’

“Yes, sir,”’ 1 said (J.C. was a man you sirred first
and first-named second). That would be my
grandfather.’’

“‘In that case,’” he said. ‘‘I have a story to tell
you,”’ and leaning on his favorite S.S.-Beaver cane,

**My father had a liquor store a block away from
your grandfather’s general store. One day my mother
sent me out for some thread and when I walked into the
store I saw a travelling salesman eating an apple which
he had taken from the apple barrel beside the counter.
When he saw me eyeing him hungrily he reached into
the barrel, took out an apple and said, ‘Here, kid,’ have
one.’ When I returned to my father’s store munching on
the apple my father said, ‘Well, Jack where did you get
that apple?”’ I told him.

He asked: ‘‘Did Mr. Charters give you that apple?”
I said, ‘*No, sir, he didn’t, the salesman gave it to
me.””

“Without another word my father locked up his
store and taking me by the hand conducted me back to
your grandfather’s store where I had to apologize for
taking something without his permission. I was five
years old then and that was 75 years ago.’”

These stories and Bill Vander Zalm’s fall from grace
have a common theme — the concept and perception of
ethical conduct — ‘‘the obligations of morality,’’ as
someone has phrased it. It was once the foundation
stone of every curriculum, secular and religious. Today
it is just an option at the college and university level and
not a requirement at the junior levels where it is most
needed. Moreover, there are few teachers, fewer stern
parents and still fewer public servants who are prepared
to give it meaning in our culture.

In a society in which the lowest Common
denominator is the standard in almost everything, the
only possibility is for more of the same, fueled by greed.
The irl, the and our past
premier, who is essentially a good-intentioned man, are
all crew members of a ship without a rudder and they
have millions of companions, and hell is paved with
good intentions.

In short, Pogo once sai, ‘‘We have met the enemy
and he is us.’" 4s
