Shrum By Charles Wolverton | Vancouver Province Some years before the Peter Principal came out as a book, Dr. Gordon Shrum was using it in reverse in his managoment ‘of B.C. Hydro, The Peter Principle states that most of us rise beyond our level of efficiency until we reach our level of inefficiency— where we stop. Dr. Shrum caught on to the process early, and he made it a regular practice to demote executives who were out of their depth to jobs they could handle. “I don’t believe in keeping weak people in jobs they can't quite cope with," said the 71-year-old retired chairman of B.C, Hydro, the builder and first chancellor of Simon Fraser University and the founding director of B.C, Research Council. “Maybe it's because I'm lazy and don’t want to have to do their work for them. “It hurts a man at first to be told that you are going to give him a lesser job. ‘You won't be as well paid,’ I would tell them, ‘but you will be happier.’ That usually was the case,” For a man whose biggest years came after the traditional retirement age of 65, quitting work 12 years later is out of the question. He's on call as a public speaker or lecturer at least once a week. He personally manages property he acquired as he saw inflation coming, and he gardens, The other morning when he was interviewed he arose at 6:30 and worked till 10:30 in the garden of his home on Chancel- lor Blvd. There was little change in the man; perhaps just a little more repose than a decade ago. His tall frame was still spare. “I can still do a day's work outdoors.” A realist about himself, always a pragmatist about the work he was given and the people who worked for him, he responded honestly: “The only thing I notice about myself is that it’s harder for me to remember names than it ‘used to be. In my lectures and speeches—I al- ways talk extemporaneously—I usually have a set of cards, each for a different subject. I find I still always remember them, all.” : In a career of solid achievements few men in North America can equal, the real man rarely emerged from behind his work. He is almost devoid of the egocentrism one usually associates with success- ful men. And today he reveals little of any inner self, or any philosophy special to him alone. The things he had to do were more important than himself. Dr. Shrum regards himself as a very simple and uncompli- cated person, with a practical directness and an unwillingness to be lured into detours. The closest he got to telling about himself came out inversely in his di ion of an favourites at your store. B.C. HONEY and sweet il is. eS ) fs sf v B.C.

It is a wonderful thing for ipeople who do have—who on accept something on faith, I envy people who are sincerely religious, but I.can’t persuade myself to be so. I guess I am too analytical. But I'd be the last to say there isn't a grand schemo for the universe.” He recalled a remark of Einstein’s to the effect that if the universe is bounded, what is beyond the bounds? If it is limitless, where then are the bounds? Evolution doesn't really explain the mystery of living things. Why do all fauna have two eyes? Why was it that in evolution they didn’t have three eyes? “You know, gland in the back of your head"—and he tapped the back of his batd pate and broke out his gold-toothed grin—"that may once have been an eye. It would have been useful.” As a scientist he recog- nizes there is a_ strong underlying anti-science even in the world of thinking people. He quoted a critic of science as saying: “The world is divided between those who feel scient- ists can do anything and those who feel that they will.” Although’ Dr. Shrum has no doubts about. the essential there is 0 FOR SALE find Dr.’ Shrum.

This is particu- larly the case of the scientific elite. He recalled the great bio- chemist, H. Gobind Khorana who was with the BC. Research Council when it was under Dr. Shrum’s wing in 1958. Mr. Khorana, a native of India who shared a Nobel Prize with two Americans in 1968, led research into life forms while here. “He had a number of assistants, but he complained to me that he had to supply the ideas, the technology and later had to write the papers,” Dr. Shrum said. “Supporting peo- ple aren't always researchers. It’s the scientific elite that counts.” Despite the enormous tasks that former Premier - Bennett gave Dr. Shrum, they were not on terms of close friendship. “It was an arms-length relationship,” he said. Mr. Bennett put him in charge of B.C. Hydro and tet him alone. Dr. Shrum recalls getting a half a dozen letters from the premier, usually on the theme of spending as little as possible and earning as much as possible. Once Mr. Bennett sug- gested to Dr. Shrum that he should delay paying contractors at the Peace Dam as long as he could, so that the money could earn interest. meanwhile. Dr. Shrum did just the opposite; paying bills as soon as they were certified. He said slow pay would result in higher sub- sequent contracts, because contractors would have to take their extra financing costs into account. Bennett never pushed him, even though he probably knew Dr. Shrum had ignored the suggestion. Dr. Shrum broke out in another crooked grin as he recalled how he got the Simon Fraser’ job. He was having lunch at the Hydro building when Mr. Bennett called.

Already a horse and a goat thave had to be destroyed as a result of harrassment by dogs while numerous chickens have been killed and there have been complaints about cattle being bothered. An RCMP spokesman said many dog owners are under the erroneous opinion that provi- sions of the sheep act, under which dogs can be shot, apply only from late fall to-early spring. In fact, he said, the provisions apply. all year round and people are within their legal rights in shooting dogs if they’ are chasing domestic animals.

The strike notice takes effect Monday and walkout by workers could then take place. Contacted by the Castlegar News yesterday morning, Local No. 1 president Len Embree said the union has talked with the company since strike notice was given. Asked if it looks like strike action will be taken, he replied: “I don't know. At this stage it's up to the company.” Seventy-one per cent of the local’s membership voted in favor of strike action.

Prince Rupert voted 70 per cent in favor of strike action. © Voting to reject the offer were: Crestwood Pulp 81 per cent, Prince George 71 per cent, Harmac 63 per cent and Crofton 62 per cent. in regarding the strike possibility, Can-Cel's vice-président of in- terior pulp operations, Orjan Burchardt, said the industry as a whole “has reached a final settlement and we have made a final offer on loca! bull session items,” He added: “The union is looking to me for something I cannot pay.

The union must under- stand that wage rates are not a subject for local negotiations but are handled on an industry- wide. basis.” The union gave the com- pany 72-hours strike notice last Friday but an issue then arose as to the proper procedure ; required.
