Turner holds promise
John Napier Turner is penile inhiister designate of Canada
following the liberal leadership convention, on theweekend.
Far from the coronation some hartexpected, following the
candidates' speeches Friday night, the run for the prize, was
anyone's guess.
Turner puttied all the rightbuttons politically in his speech,
paying tribute to Trudeau, naming the economy and jobs as
the top priority in any government he -would form, fisting
affirmative action for women and their concerns; Alai is, day
care, reassuring the caucus they would play it key role
in his government and the French speakinkppeopie- ofcanadi
that their iightawouldbe•protected, promising to review the
national energy plan and recruitwesterners to ruiffor election
so -they could play a part in the. new government
John Chretien brought the house down, rallying the Grit to
stand.proud andrunited as he did sOnie effective Tory Walling
Using humour to cut the edge, emphasizing he was proud of
his contribution during the Trudeau years and calling on
Liberals. and Canadians to continue to work -together to
achieve the enormous potentialthat is offered by the people
of this wonderful country that is ours.
But in the end as party president Iona Campagnola put it
Very succinctly, John Turner won the leadership and John
Chretien won the 'Notate of the party
Chretien could not distance himself enough from the
Trudeau legacy and the party voted fort the Man whom they
believed could win the next election' andtpermit the party an
opportunity *rims. on to power.
•
Whether they realized it or not, the Liberals have -probably
choaena leader who may just be capable of winning the next
election. One thing, is certain, John Chretien no matter' how'
well liked, is pot and parcel of everything Canadians disliked
about the Trudeau years.'".
• Canadians are sick to death of the, French - English
question. The economy and jobs are the number one issue
and Trudeau and his government never quite got the
message'. People who cannot work because they cannot hid a
job andthoieivho do work, but are fast becoming the middle
class poor because they pay the lion's share of taxes, are not
all that interested in bringing home the constitution.
Itis time to take action on the economy, jobs, restructuring
the income tax system, affirmative -action for, wornenand
making govern:neat work ;through the participation of all the
various regions of the country. Issues Turner identified in his
speech..
It would not have hurt Turner however to invite Chretien
and Trudeau to the stage following his victory. The picture of
the three of them standhig together, presenting a united
front, would not have damaged Turner's credibility where
distancing himself from the Trudeau years is concerned and it
would have done a great deal to unite the party. Instead he
gave a throne speech.
For the average Canadian, Turner carries much promise
and hope. He took a step,in the right direction yesterday when
he phoned Tory leader Brian MuIrciney to ask if they could
work together to make government more effective.
Something this country has required for a long time is a
working House of Commons, where government and opposi-
tion work together to deal with the issues facing the country,
rather than using the house for political posturing like
roosters in a cock fight.

Captain Jamieson, Chippy Chisholm and
Teddy Murdoch lost no time in moving their
belongings from the New American Hotel to
the Atlantic Queen. Their next important
consideration • was to hire a crew, and
Jamieson thought it,would be wise to try and
rehire the men who had previously manned
the ship. -
•
He despatched Chippy Chisholm to, the
taverns around the waterfront, to spread the
news that the Atlantic Queen was ready to
sign on any willing members of her now
unemployed crew. The response brought the
previous captain by the name of MacLachlan
and his first officer Galbraith to the ship.
Both were natives of Glasgow, Scotland.
"There is nobody 1' would rather have as
members of the crew than you two gentle -
'men," Jamieson told them. "With, you
aboard, the ship will be in very experienced
hands. But are you certain Mr. MacLachlan,
that you can serve under me after once being
master of, this ship?" -
"I will not pretend it will be easy sir,"
MacLachlan replied. "But since you yourself
are a Scot, I can do it for you, when 1 could
not serve under another."
"Then it is settled, gentlemen. You
Mister MacLachlan will be first officer and
REDTREES
by Don Campbell
you Mister Galbraith will be second."
Jamieson shook hands with both and went
out with them on to the deck. He took the
previous captain aside. •
• "I appreciate having you aboard Mister,
and to show you that I respect the position
you once held on this ship, it will please me
if you share the captain's cabin."
MacLachlan realized that Jamieson would
do everything possible except relinquish his
command, so as not to embarrass him.
"You are very generous captain, sir, and
as I see it, you know how to get the best out
of men. 1 promise you, you will never regret
what you have just done as king as I am
aboard!"
Jamieson gave MacLachlan jurisdiction in
signing on the crew. He rehired all his
previous men except two. These he consider-
ed to be unsuitable, judging from their
conduct on the last voyage.
There was still much to be done. Mister
Galbraith was given the duties of Quarter-
master and sent off to gather the ship's
supplies. MacLachlan set to work with a will,
organizing the crew and preparing the
Atlantic Queen for sea.. He had his first
encounter with Chippy Chisholm.
"I am a friend of Captain Jamieson,"
Chippy told him. "And he has appointed me
boatswain - me being too old tae climb the
riggin' ".
"Very well, bo'sun, the captain's wish is
my command," MacLachlan said curtly.
"But let me make one thing certain. I have
no friends when I am at sea. You had better
jump to it when I give an order, and make
sure the crew do the same!"
Chippy'quickly realized that his familiarity
with Jamieson at Redtrees would not apply
on the Atlantic Queen - not as long as Mister
MacLachan was first officer!
"Aye, aye, sir," Chippy responded. "I
will do just that."
Captain Jamieson found a cargo of rough
dressed lumber to be delivered to the Port of
Glasgow,- and bargained shrewdly for the
transportation price. It began being deliver-
ed almost immediately and the crew and
stevedores started to load the ship.
Construction lumber was also placed in the
forward hold - much more than Teddy
Murdoch could ever have anticipated. He
_ _ •
was not altogether certain he would be able
to utilize it all before they. reached Glasgow.
• 'When all the arrangements had been
finalized, Jamieson thought it was not time
to inform the -Friends of Skye of his progress,
• He did this ie the form of a letter tohis wife,
which read: •
My dear Kathleen,
By the time this letter reaches you, we
shall be heading down the Saint Lawrence.
You will be pleased to know that I have
acquired a fine ship; a three masted
schooner by the name of "Atlantic Queen",
Tell the people they should have no fears for
their relatives. I,,can vouch that our return
passage will britig their loved ones safely to
Canada and under the best possible condi.
tions. All that we planned is now reality and
I have negotiated a cargo which will replay
the funds which I have expended. Mr.
Chishohn and Teddy Murdoch are well,
Please tell their families that they will be
well taken care of. As for me, I am pleased
we can now accomplish all that we intended
to do. 1 shall pray for you, and the child. Be
assured that the sea will not claim my heart
again, for I have left it behind with you, at
Redtrees. ;
' Your loving husband, Ian.
