But I received a letter from a young man in Victoria, app- lying for a job here, I'dlike to give him a try. But we're not hiring at the m- oment. What makes him different is this; He went from high school in Victoria to spend two years as a copy boy and, as he says, learning the tricks of the trade. NO UNIVERSITY He’s not a_ university graduate. Nor has he attended an official journalism school. But for the past two years all: the school of hard knocks learning form the bottom up. Oh...I don't know how he writes. He said he’d send me some clippings. But when I first became a reporter my stuff was bloody awful, 1 went into the newspaper f- ieid upon graduation from Kitsilano High School in Vancouver at at the Van- couver Province. That was back in 1959, Now, I could have gone straight to universily and the only journalism schools in Canada at that time were Ryerson in Toronto and Carlt- on University in Ottawa. But I still wanted to be a re- porter. [ had visions of great stories yet to be written, I pictured the reporter as a #lamorous figure.

EAGER Bul I was young, eager. I decided not to go through the pangs of applying through personnel. I walked straight into the Province newsroom and asked to see the managing editor, Bill Forst. Now this was highly unu- sual. A managing editor is a busy man...too busy to see a green, young kid just out of was in his office. “Well”, he said. “I u- nderstand you want to see me.”* “Yes sir,” [ replied, ‘I want to become a reporter.” “Oh,” he said, thoughtfully. My mouth was dry and I was in awe of this great man. “So you want to be, a reporter," he said, finally. “What experience have you got?.”’ T told him that I’d worked on the school paper. “What do you read?” he asked. Trattled off a list of titles of favorite books, fiction and non fiction and told him I was interested in sociology and things like that. “Well,” he said, ‘Reading and studying is a good background for a reporter.” “Yes sir, I said, gulping. “You can’t be nervous if you're going to be a newspaper man,” he said. “Yes, sir,” I said again. The interview lasted no more than five minutes. But at the end he said: Sometimes .

But when you're young the hustle and the bustle of the big city daily newsroom is excitement to an- y eager young man. First ] learned to trim the teletype machines and give the copy from all over the world to the teletype editor. Whenever a reporter yelled “Copy!” that was my cue at deadline to rush over to his d- esk and rush a piece of copy to the city desk. And I had to keep the glue pots filled and change ribbons in the teletype machine, plus dash up to the Canadian Press office and get the news from the interior of the province. EXTASY In time, the rewrite editor had me doing one and two paragraph shorts. I was in - ‘ecstacy to see my own “rewrite” appear, edited of course. Then the late Eric Ramsden, provincial editor of the Province, took me under his wing. He was a gruff old man but sincerely interested. He, too, started out as a copy bay. Whenever I did a “rewrite’’ some weekly in the interior, Ramsden would carefully - study my copy. He'd turn to me, point at the story and bark: “What's wrong with this?’ Then I'd have to figure out what it was I did wrong. **No, you lame-brain, that's not what's wrong with it. Was is is it?” By series of elimination I'd find I'd buried the lead in the story. Eventually he had cloaked praise for my work as. T im- proved. In those days it was still a hard-drinking newshounds heaven. The Province, then, was localed at Cambie and H- astings. And, in the back room of the library (or morgue as its sometimes called in the b- usiness) the deskmen (copy e-, ditors) would get together over a bottle at four until the wee small hours---right into the dawn sometime.s HONGRED I was honored and invited to sit in on these conversations, only because they knew how hard I was trying to be a rep- orter. And...around 11 p.m. just after the third edition had gone to press, the boys would raise $20 to $30, hand me the key to a company car and I'd shoot up to the Pender. Street Liquor store. Al 17-ye- ars-old! But I was regailed by stories they had covered and about great newsmen they had J Fast take ‘out There was excitment too. Like this night Errol Flynn died in Vancouver. Why, there were reporters coming up the ’ back elevator and down the side steps from the newsroom. “T haven't seen ‘em so exc- ited since the end of the war,’’ muttered the old telegraph editor, who seemed rooted to the newspaper. And I watched the news unf- url on teletype machines. We received the first flashes of the Cuban revolution. A guy named Castro had taken over. At that time, it seemed a wonderful, great event. But after a year, my y- earning to become a reporter was in full blossom. I knew 1 - didn't have the experience to work for the Province, But interested newsmen helped me because I wanted to bec- ° ome a newsman. I'd scan the papers for an opening somewhere, take it to my mentors and they'd shake their heads. No. Finally, I struck paydirt. The Swift Current (Saskatchewan) Sun needed a reporter---at $75 per week. Iv’s curious. My first real reporting job was on a twice- weekly. Now I'm editor of a twice-weekly! There [ began my long trek. After a couple of years in the business I went to UBC---bat I was more interested in The Ubyssey, the student tri- weekly. From there, I went to the Vancouver Sun where under the tutelage of a wonderful, old newspaperman, the late Gar McPherson. He took me under his wing on the rewrite desk (He’d been with The Sun since 1927, 1 believe). When my three month trial period was up, on Gar’s word, they hired me full-lime and fave me a press card, I was in seventh heaven. But there was something about a weekly newspaper. Williams Lake, New Toronto, Toronto Globe and Mail, P- ublic Relations. The daily Hartford Times, and, finally, - ye full :circle and happy to be ere, I'm sorry I can't hire this eager young man. I know thal he's probably got what it t- akes. He's a copy boy and trying to learn the-ropes. Just like me, once, But the budget says no. I hope this young man--he says he’s 22, a little bit older - than I was (I was 18 when I slarted full time as a reporter) will find a good weekly ‘where he can work his rump off and become honed as a good r- eporter, And I may even wrile him, suggesting that after a few years in the business, he try university. No journalism sch- ools, But political science, sociology, pyschology, English Lit. He's choosing a difficult path. But who knows? ~ Someday this young man may he the Washington . correspondent for The Toronto Star. Or an eager editor on a “twice-weekly newspaper. ae Exotic meais_ Canadian & Chinese Foods | “Open Mon. thru. Saf.. 10 am. to ’ am, 4 “9 Lazelle.
