Later, Saul wrote Baraka, combining his inside know. ledge of the oil business — he had worked for Maurice Strong in the setting up of Petro-Canada in the late 1970s — with his experiences living with the Polisario guerrillas fighting for an independent state in the southwest Sahara. TURNED TO OPIUM In the Next Best Thing, Saul moves to the dangerous world of the Shan armies, who were abandoned in northern Thailand and Burma by the retreating Chinese nationalists 40 years ago and who have since turned the lucrative opium trade into a way of life. Saul's hero of sorts is a world traveller named James Spenser, accurately described by the blurb on the jacket cover as “a man obsessed by beauty —a_ collector haunted b. his almost supernatural response to art.” The object of Spenser's obsession is 20 statues of Buddha dating from the 11th century and lying in the abandoned Burmese city of Pagan. They're worth some $1 million each and Spenser enlists the Shan opium smugglers to spirit them out of the country. To research his book during one of his many trips to Thailand, Saul decided in 1981 that he would cross the border on foot, under the protection of the Shans and armed with letters of recommendation from two of their former generals living in Bangkok. general who is responsible for anywhere from 10 to 20 tonnes of heroin a year coming into the West.” Saul found out later that many of the people who had helped him across the Burmese border met violent deaths, including the former warlord who gave him his first letter of. recommendation, the man who set up his contacts in Chang Mai and the two officers who took him to a Shan border village. HAD GUARDS To set out on his trek into Burma, the Shans assigned 25 “soldiers” to guard him through the network of mountain paths and opium farms that dot the area. Although he came under fire once, Saul said his worst memories of the trip came from the hip-deep mud created by the rainy season and the leeches that covered his legs. Saul is now working on his fourth novel, which is set in Bangkok and uses some of the same characters that appear in The Next Best Thing. Meanwhile, his home base continues to be Paris where he lives with Adrienne Clarkson, Ontario's representative in France. It's a city he knows well, having stayed there on and off for a total of 10 years since 1969. Despite his many years abroad, Saul still feels the “Canadian point of view” is what has shaped his thinking about the world. “You only have to be in New York, Paris or London for five minutes to realize they are absolutely convinced that, in their own way, everything they say or do is absolutely right — even if it doesn't work.” The Next Best Thing, by John Ralston Saul.

Up The Hill (Donald Johnston, Optimum, $23.95) tells it straight. From the Petrofina purchase to the disastrous Liberal defeat in 1984, the book — as its jacket proclaims — “reads like fiction but tells the unbridled truth.” The first half of the book has already received considerable publicity because of Johnston's portrayal of Pierre Elliott Trudeau. BOOK REVIEW But it wasn't just Trudeau who cost the Liberals power. According to Johnson, it was the breakup of the traditional liberal coalition by the “social democrats” in the PM's Office and privy council — Jim Coutts, Tom Axworthy and Michael Pitfield among them — who tried to turn the party into the NDP and continually frustrated cabinet ministers like Johnston by blocking or changing “good” legislation. The second part of the book is Johnston's manifesto for a Liberal revival. He is a real old. d Liberal in his to change the world on such matters as international relations (sound and sincere arguments for a Canadian role in seeking world peace and arms control), social justice and education. Some quotable quotes: On the 1984 election campaign — “As it turned out, not only was the party unprepared for an election, there followed one of the worst organized and most poorly orchestrated election campaigns in the country's history.” On the last Trudeau mandate — “We did not even pretend to chart a new course. No one seemed to care what the electorate felt. It was as if they had served our purpose and now we had no time for them.” On welfare — “We must stop thinking of social programs as welfare or government handouts and recognize them as fundamental to the prosperity of society as a whole.” On deficits — “Deficits are much like a fever. While symptomatic of an underlying disease, the fever itself can be fatal when it rises uncontrollably. We are near that point.” Fis = BEAVERS CAMP . . .

Rice Krispie squares and juice were distributed for juice break later in the afternoon Day camp closed with a short campfire led by Jim Waldie. ‘A “thank-you” plaque and camp crest was presented to Mr. and Mrs. John Giza for donating the use of their ranch.
