.The. MacLean behind
Maclean's magazine
Paradoxical — that's the only
word to describe, John Bayne
MacLean and even that is
scarcely adequate. He was
enormously proud of his humble
upbringing in the 1870s as the
son of a minister in
southwestern Ontario. He was'
proud, too, of the fact that -
when he lett to seek his fortune
in the big city - (quaint,
turn -of -the -century Toronto) his
first job was as a reporter at $5 a
week., But in later years his
hobby was collecting eminent
friends — the way others might
collect stamps or- coins. In the
end, it was quite a collection,
including Churchill, Coolidge,
Bache, Schwab and of course all
the pub1ishipg,, tycoons of. his
era.
Yet he was no snob; he was
just as interested in talking —
and listening — to a waitress in
e staff cafeteria or a printer in.
e plant, as to a captain of
industry or a king. And despite
his enormous power and the fact
that ` his. name became (and has
remained) a household word in
Canada, he carefully retained his
privacy, so that he was
something of an enigma to 'all
but his closest friends. Now, one
of these. friends, Floyd S.
Chalmers, has written a
biography of a man behind the.
household word. Entitled A
GENTLEMAN OF THE PRESS,
it is due to be published by
Doubleday Canada .on June
13th. °
One of •MacLean's most
endearing paradoxes was that,
despite being privately the
'staunchest of conservatives, the
had such an obsession for
integrity in high places and truith'
,'at'.all levels that, his editorial
policies constantly infuriated the
establishment, to the extent that
one apoplectic Prime Minister
actually commanded that he be
immediately "locked up in the
tower!" - .
Perhaps his editorials did
occasionally lose track of their
central theme en route (the
author, when editor of 'THE
FINANCIAL POST, had to
threaten to, quit to keep, Colonel
MacLean from inserting
unsigned 'editorials,' and even
after -that, on-ce caught- -him--
sneaking
him`sneaking down the back stairs to
slip one directly to the
t
4
•
typesetter), but his writing was
always full of zest and -a
powerful sense of public
purpose. In getting results, his
batting, average was surprisingly
high.
So was his business acumen.
The institution he founded at
the turn of the Century in
Toronto and conducted thr ugh
its first 60 years is today fkirth
roughly $65 million, includes
radio and television stations, and
publishes periodicals in Canada,
the United States, England,
France, Germany and Italy. He
hardly did it by himself — ht's
special genius was in picking
subordinates of exceptional
ability — but he provided the
leadership and inspiration. u By
the standards of his day — the
standards of his friends —
Northcliffe aEngland, and
Hearst'" Munsey, McClure and
McCa mick in the States — John
Bayn4 Maclean earned his place
among giants.
-Colonel Maclean could ask
for no more appropriate a
biographer than FLOYD S.
C H A L M E RS, who worked
closely with him as a colleague
and friend for over 30 years, and
who is this year retiring as
chairman of the board - of
Maclean -Hunter, having served
that company for a good
half -century.. The author is
looking forward to being able to
devote his -time to his other
major responsibility, the
chancellorship of York
University. But such have always
Veen Mr. C,halmer's
extracurricular activities — he•
was a member of the founding
groups of both—the Stratford
Shakespea-re Festival and the
Canadian Opera Company —
that he was one of the original
recipients , of the Order of
Canada.
Like the Colonel, the author'
is a stickler for unvarnished
accuracy. His subject might not
have appreciated his successor's
frankness', but he would have•
been pn`"Vately pleased that his
old friend — with whom he
battled almost. daily — had
determined to resist the
-rem ptation- to be— mere y
flattering and had told it all,
exactly as it happened.

Nowmorecar really does cost less.
Normally, you expect to pay more to get more.
So you'd naturally expect Canada's favourite
car, Impala, to cost more than a '68 Impala with
the same equipment. Well ... the price spiral stops
right here.
Like an example? 'Take our Impala Custom
Coupe, equipped with a 300 -hp Turbo -Fire V8,
power front disc brakes, Turbo Hydra -uratic trans-,
mission, head restraints, whitewalls dnd wheel cov-
ers. And we'll take $120.5a* off. lastyear's price. -
'"Based on manu,fatturer's suggested maximum retail
prices, including federal sales and excise tax and .
suggested dealer delivery and handling charges.
524.8311
How come? Because this year we've cut the price
on the 300 -hp motor, the Turbo Hydra-matic'trans-
mission and ,the power discs, and we've made
head restraints standard equipment. So you save
a bundle.
And on top of all this, Impala's a better car
this year. By now you should be getting the mes-
sage. More car, less money.
And your Chevrolet dealer will be happy to
prove it,
