B4 CASTLEGAR NEWS, February 22, 1981, A classic case of Catch-22 EDMONTON (CP) — Five years after he was fired from Canadian National Telecom- munications, Bernle Maguire is no closer to learning why he failed a security clearance. It's classic Catch-22: Maguire knows about the document that got him fired, but he can't see it for security reasons, and even if Maguire got the information he wants from his security file, he was told he would be charged under the Official Secrets Act if any of it was made public, Today, Maguire, 28, is a bus driver in Edmonton and is tired after his five-year fight involving his union, former member of Parlia- ment Ged Baldwin and they: Canadian Human Rights Commission. But the former radio te¢hui- ! ician isn't particularly bitter. He just wants his name cleared, “If 1 have any hope at all of getting back into electronics, the dismissal has to be cleared up,” Maguire said in an interview. “I'm not giving it up.” . Maguire's trouble started after he left the Canadian Forces in 1974. Part of his work was handling sensitive information such as troop movements and Maguire said he left with the second- highest security clearance in the military. GETS A POSTING He gota job with Canadian National . Telecommunica- tions in Dawson Creek, B.C., and in October, 1974, was posted to Whitehorse. Because of CNT's contracts to handle Canadian Forces and RCMP information he was told to file security papers. - Nothing was said until July; 1976. Then Maguire was called to the district manager's office, fired and given two weeks’ pay. I. was handed a’ letter - stating that subsequent to my being employed by CNT rebate pentha, Jt ge dete mint ie! sBaianes' require: ments for the job,” Mayuire said. He quickly. ‘called his union, the Canadian Brotherhood of Railway, Transport and Gen-" eral Workers, His representative wasn't . surprised. He had already been told by CN management that if anyone was let go on vague terms, it was for onal security reasons aH 19M, wo Erievanter sresiticcDe, ae HS dl aS top flopped amr Ht * Nrecuive ‘a only clue to why he failed the clearance dates ‘back to an unfortunate -re- mark. he made-while in the Canadian Forces. Maguire had checked out a pleco of of equipment from the base to fix his television set, and said toa visitor: “It would be nice if this equipment was mine.” - Maguire now thinks the visitor, who he doesn’t name, * ‘may have told investigators he couldn't be trusted around communications equipment. _- : His battle with authorities sedmed to Py. off, in 1978 when, under the provisions of the Canadian Human Rights Act, Maguire was told he could seo his security file. But “Item 24” was missing. A notation in the file said it had been returned to the | CMP. At first, Maguire said, the RCMP denied the item existed. Later they allowed they did have it, but couldn't. release it for security rea- . sons. “Te never been a political person cr radical,” Maguire said. “An interest in politics was the furthest thing from my mind.

Pulpit & Pew by Ministers In the ‘West Kootenay By TED BRISTOW Castlegar United Church I don't find much to admire in chickens. Since we've had a few chickens at our place, I've learned they are cranky, cruel, dirty, dull, stubborn and stupid. Having chickens has helped me to appreciate all the more the old story of the _ eagle that thought it wasa chicken. Seems ‘the farmer found the young eagle, brought it home, put it in the chicken pen, and it grew up thinking it was a chicken. I can't think of a much sadder sight than a young eagle, the king of the scratching and pecking in the irt. I wonder re ‘we look: like that to God sometimes. God, you see, knows what we [acs teally scould berm i "Anyway, “séénis’ someone * ‘who loved birds — real birds —- heard’ about this poor eagle and decided to try to teach it what it really was. The farmer was quite happy to cooperate. Darn eagle wasn't laying him any eggs. Our bird-lover at first tried tossing the eagle into the air, hoping it’ would Strover, its and squawked and landed on. the ground ina most un-eagle like fashion, and went back to pecking and scratching in the dirt. I wonder if God ever tries to getus to “fly” for Him, and ‘we don't even know that Sompone is trying to help. Our bird-lover had an idea. He put the eagle in his truck and drove it up a mountain. A very high mountain. He drove to, the end of the road, then carried the eagle even higher, until they were in an open space where they pass! 1.in'10 py ALAN ARBUCKLE “OTTAWA {CP) — A parli-” amentary, committee — will study the problem of wife- beating and family violence, the Commons decided Friday ‘in-a rare moment of un- animity. ‘ “The role of family violence and the law, medical res- ponse, the role of social agencies, the inevitable cycle of despondency and frustra- tion, marriages outside the law, all invite study,” said Progressive Conservative “MP Robert Howie.

Then he thought he felt excitement in the bird, and then some pushing of the wings against his hold. Finally, when the time was right, the man threw the. eagle from him, and watched it discover its wings, and its soul, as it.flew up and away, to take its rightful: place in God's plan of creation.
