Walking t
Shirley Whittington
A Turkish soldier, probab-
ly not more than 17, grips the
barrel of his semi-automatic
rifle. He looks cold and men-
acing in his oversized mili-
tary greatcoat. Three
Canadian journalists — part
of a study tour sponsored by
the Canadian Community
Newspaper Association —
smile as they walk past. The
young soldier doesn't return
the smile. He just grips the
rifle more tightly, with his
small, gloveless hands.
The journalists scurry to
the security of their United
Nations escort and continue
the peacekeeping patrol
through the battered,
crooked streets of Nicosia,
the capital city of Cyprus.
A few metres further on,
e
eace ee
they pass a Greek post. The
soldier on duty recognizes
their passing with a brief
nod. From within the post
there is a sudden burst of
recorded martial music. Is it
the Greek National anthem?
"Probably," says our
escort, "and played for your
benefit."
He explains that our
names and details of the
press visit to the Mediter-
ranean island have been cir-
culated to both Greek and
Turkish officials. The United
Nations is a peacekeeper and
is non-aggressive and totally
impartial.
Ahead of us, someone has
scrawled a rough map of
Cyprus on the side of a build-
ing. The cease-fire line

patrolling) is represented
with an ugly scar drawn
across the width of the
island. A dagger is drawn,
plunged into the northern
section which is now oc-
cupied by the Turkish Feder-
ated State. The remaining 60
per cent of the island is out-
lined in blue, and represents
the Greek Cypriot State. We
can't read the graffiti
scrawled under the map, but
we can guess at its meaning.
All along that 120 -mile
cease-fire line, Greek and
Turkish forces regard each
other with hostility and
suspicion. In the middle, in
the barren buffer zone, aro
the troops of the United Na-
tions peacekeeping force in
Cyprus, composed of
soldiers from Canada, Great
Britain, Denmark, Finland,
Australia, Sweden and
Austria. Canada is currently
represented by the 515 -man
Second Battalion Princess
Patricia's Canadian Light
Infantry. Their home base is
in Winnipeg, but the men of 2
PPCLI come from all parts
of Canada — from Beaver -
lodge, Alberta and Brock-
ville, Ontario and Verdun,
Quebec and Chatham, New
Brunswick — from Spring-
hill and Victoria, Ottawa and
Halifax.
The Canadians have the
toughest part of the cease-
fire line to patrol — that sec-
tion which snakes through
Nicosia. There the buffer
zone narrows to the width of
a suburban driveway, and
Greek and Turkish outposts
are literally a stone's throw
apart. When they do throw
stones — or insults — at each
other, it's up to the Cana-
dians stationed in the middle
to defuse the situation.
"When they start yelling, I
just tell them to shut up, and
they do," a private from
Newfoundland told me. "I
feel like a parent who keeps
a couple of kids apart."
Our city foot patrol winds
through alleys and empty
lands, and "embassy alley",
where formerly elegant
mansions stand battered and
looted. The lieutenant who
leads us shines his flashlight
on a window frame from
which the glass has been
neatly removed. "Someone's
taken the glass to provide a
windbreak in their observa-
tion post. They'll rip off any-
thing made of wood to use for
fuel. Last week three Turk-
ish soldiers were caught try-
ing to steal a stove to warm
up their observation post."
He tells us the story of the
Greek and Turkish guards
who became friends and who
used to visit briefly for a
cigarette in the middle of
their nightly watch. "Then
one night the Greek went
across the buffer zone to
meet his friend only it wasn't
his friend any more. The
guard had been caught and
the Turkish soldier shot and
the Greek dead on sight." '
The next day we were
taken on another line inspec-
tion, this time in a vehicle.
We were shown a basement
warehouse which contained
54 brand new Toyotas. They
sat on their rotting tires
along with hundreds of new
bicycles and a pile of new
copying machines. "When
the Turks came into Nicosia
in 1974," said our guide, "the
Greek owner of this ware-
house was told he could take
his stuff out if he'd give one
of the new cars to the Turk-
ish commander. The Greek
refused. The cars are still
here under UN protection. I
don't see that they'll ever get
out."
Next door, there's a gar-
ment warehouse similarly
abandoned. The floors are
literally knee deep in brand
new clothing. Nobody can

touch .a thread of it although
Greeks and Turks on both
sides of the cease-fire line
are suffering through an un-
usually chilly winter.
We are told about Fama-
gusta, once a prosperous
tourist area and now a ghost
town. Greek -owned high-rise
Hotels stand abandoned and
empty. Famagusta is now in
the Turkish sector. "The
Greeks had five hours to get
out," our escort tells us.
"People say that they even
left food on the tables."
Our patrol through the
winding streets was sudden-
ly punctuated by the cry of a
baby — a reminder that
some civilians still live here
amid the shell-shocked
ruins.
Later in the day, a United
Nations spokesman remind-
ed us that peacekeeping is
less costly than warfare.
''Remember," he said,"that
the cost of two jet fighters
will pay for a whole year of
United Nations peacekeep-
ing on this island."
So while Greek and Turk-
ish representatives are con-
tinually struggling to find a
peaceful and harmonious
answer to the dilemma of the
divided island, it seems that
peacekeeping itself may
have become the solution.
Certainly in Canada's
volatile Sector Four, where
almost every civilian has
lost a home, a business or a
loved one, in the strife be-
tween Grek and Turk, life is
only possible as long as the
peacekeepers remain.
Hounds of
Notre Dame
He's not one's idea of a
typical priest. Pere Athol
Murray: his language is
salty, he chainsmokes and he
publicly denounces Com-
munists and Nazis. The year
is 1940, the place is Notre
Dame College in Saskat-
chewarl. Father Murray, or
Pere as he is affectionately
called by the students,. is. the
unorthodox founder of the
college. He's also coach of
the school's hockey team
called The Hounds of Notre
Dame, to be seen on CBC
Premiere Performance
Thursday, March 17 at 8 p.m.
on CBC Television.
Thomas Peacocke won a
Genie Award for his portray-
al of the irascible priest. All
who came in contact with
Pere Murray were moved by
him — some to hate, most to
love. During the day and a
half we spend with Pere he
vehemently speaks out
against socialism, teaches
an arrogant new student a
hard lesson, angers his arch-
bishop and gets his hockey
team home safely through a
blizzard. "How you face ad-
versity is the test of a man.
Adversity is nothing but a
bone for the Hounds to chew
on!"
He's tough and demanding
with his students. Especially
his Hounds. When half his
hockey players are sick and
they're losing to the other.
team, he keeps pushing them
— "If you can't beat them, at
least give them the goddamn
measles!" But they love him
and do their best for him,
which is all he really wants.
And at the end as Pere heads
off to bed after a long and ex-
hausting night we hear him
say under his breath, "God, I
love those little muchers."
