Dawson deal off?

MONTREAL (CP) — Now
that New York Yankees are
no longer interested in ac-
quiring Andre Dawson, the
general manager of Montreal
Expos is not overly optimis-
tic whether a deal can be
made for the veteran out-
fielder.

“There aren't too many
clubs that can afford an An-
dre Dawson,” says Murray
Cook.

Talks between the Expos
and Yankees broke off Thurs-
day over Montreal's insis-
tence on obtaining outfielder
Dan Pasqua, a 24-year-old
left-handed power-hitter.

The way the Yankees
wanted to make the deal,
they would have received
Dawson and pitcher Bill Gul-
lickson for three pitchers —
Joe Cowley, Rich Bordi and

Pony&S

Dennis Rasmussen — and
outfielder Henry Cotto. The
Expos preferred Pasqua,
who hit .209 with nine home
runs in 60 games for New
York last season.

“Andre Dawson is a star
player and unless we get star
potential in return, we're not
anxious to move him,” said
Cook. “He still has a year on
his contract and it wouldn't
be the worst thing in the
world having him here .next
year, helping our. young
players win.”

Expos. owner Charles
Bronfman asked Cook not to
consider trading both Daw-
son and Gullickson to the
Yankees, saying two estab-
lished players shouldn't be
dealt unless the Expos were
“overwhelmed” with talent.

Fishing

report

It was a cold week and consequently not many boats
were plying the waters in search of Old Ironsides. Most days

were further made miserable by a Strong north wind: Some
fishermen were actually glad they didn't have any hits and
ave to leave their boat’s warm cozy cabins to do battle.
However, some nice fish were taken, the largest being
by Marion Davis from Livingston. Mn. with a 23-pound
rainbow. The furthest from home fishermen were Dave
Mackareth and 13-year-old ‘son Kelly from Winnipeg with
three five and 13-pound rainbows. =

LIFE GOES ON —
AFTER BROTHER
FRANCIS DIES

Editor’s Note; This is the conclusion of a two-part
column on Brother Francis Michael Dodson, a monk at
the Benedictine monastery in Mission, who passed away
last month.

. 6 «

He was always a joy to talk with, and though our
conversations ranged widely they always included two
topics: One, why I should become a catholic; and two, the
philosophy and practice of teaching, particularly the
teaching of science. - =

Of the first, I would counter with the argument.that I
was already a Catholic but not a Roman Catholic.

Of the second, I argued for the need to bring all
experience to, any. subject as well as the need for the
simplest and most, basic equi in all i
to which end I scoured the stores for books. and
pamphlets. I have never had so willing or enthusiastic a
pupil. 7

‘Life at the monastery
goes on even in the
midst of death.’

However, three weeks ago, he was taken off all
teaching assignments and came to see me about his social
studies. When he kept falling asleep while trying to
explain what he was doing with the course,I became
deeply concerned. When he told me that he had made a
vow not to again attempt to convert me, I knew that my
friend had almost reached the end of the road.

Two days later a stroke confined him to a wheelchair.
A few days after that a second stroke put him, dying and
in a coma, into the hospital. The monks held vigil, his son
Dean spent every moment possible from the college with
him, and to quote Father Prior, “The ‘nurses at the
Mission hospital were wonderful.”

He died at 1:20. a.m. Nov. 25, his rosary in his
hands and an expression of joyous serenity on his face.
Three days later he was buried from the abbey church in
an atmosphere of mingled joy and sorrow by the monks.

His long-time friend, the Reverend Metzger, at the

suggestion of the abbot, delivered the eulogy after the
funeral mass. He lies now in the small monastic cemetery
on the hillside overlooking the small man-made lake, the
rolling monastic grounds and the hills beyond.

Now, like Mr. Valiant-For-Truth in John Bunyan’s
The Christian's Progress. who having received his
summons to die, can say: “My sword I give to him that
shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and
skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars-I carry.
with me, to be witness for me, that I have fought his
battles who will be my rewarder.”

Bynyan the continues: “When the day that he must
go hence, was come, many accompanied him to the
riverside, into which as he went ire said, ‘Death, where is
thy sting?’ And as he went down deeper, he said, ‘Grave,
where is thy victory?’ So he passed over, and all the
trumpets sounded for him on the other side.”

There is, however, another aspect to this situation.
Life at the monastery goes on even in the midst of death,
and I was reminded of it on the same day that he died.

Thad stayed at the abbey for a couple of extra days
and was on my way down to the studio to help Father
Dunstan, hard at work on his eleventh sculpture, St.
Pious the Tenth, and had stopped at the cemetery.

Brother Stephen and a couple of novices were hard
at work opening a new grave in the hard frozen ground. It
was as neat and precise as a knife-edge. Brother Peter;
the carpenter/cabinetmaker, I was told, had just taken
the plain pine coffin down to the undertakers.

“It was beautiful," he said, and knowing the
economic artistry of his work, so typical of all that is done
in the monastery, I knew it was the simple truth.

As we spoke, another group of monks and novices
were clearing and burning slash from on the woodlot;
Brother Emeric, on his way to the barns in the battered
farm truck was passing a busload of visitors headed for
the main entrance where the guestmaster, Father
Benedict, awaited to greet them and a savoury hint from
the kitchens tempted their nostrils.

Elsewhere, Father Basil, organist/composer, would
be practising for the funeral mass and-editor Father
Lawrence would be adding an obituary page to the Pax
Regis, the semi-annual, abbey booklet. Still others would
be working on fund-raising plans for the seniors residence
for next year, and John Branigan, retired teacher, oblate
and library assistant, would be puzzling over my
instructions prior to taking over the social studies class.

At that moment I recalled Brother Stephen saying
with his usual i i grin: “We icti: have
been in business for 1,500 years and we have had a lot of
practice in making haste slowly. We do our best, and if it
is God's will, someone else will carry on after us.”

As I have said before, the- monks offer a’ viable
alternative to a way of life — lighted candles in a
darkening world. I take much joy in their company.
