FLAME OF POWER by Peter C. Newman, pub- lished by Longmans of Canada Ltd. Around the time of the turn of the century, men who directed or owned the major industries in Can- ada were looked on with awe and respect. Some even considered them as heroes. Today their image does not seem to shine so brightly. Peter Newman, in his book Flame of Power, paints a word pleture of eleven Canadians who played a large role in making Can- ada the second most affluent na- tion in the word. Mr, Newman Points out the personal character- istics of these men which seemed to contribute the most in making them the wealthiest, most power- ful men in Canada. He tells of Sir Herbert Holt who directed the Royal Bank of Canada for almost three decades and whose portrait adorned much of Canada's currency for many years. Sir William Van Horn, who was President of the CPR for eleven years atid turned it from a debt- ridden railroad into the world’s largest transportation system, is another of the illustrious men described by Mr. Newman. He also includes the Steinberg brothers, who built a chain of sup- ermarkets and pioneered many of the methods used in supermarkets today. Donald Gordon who directs the policy of the CNR and E. P. Taylor, better known to many Can- adians as the owner of a number of famous race horses, rather than for being the most successful busi- ness man of his generation. Most of the men Mr. Newman describes would not have won po- pularity contests for their person- alities but through their ability to direct a gigantic enterprise, through their genuis in making the right decisions, and their cour- age and willingness to take finan. cial risks, they succeeded in build- ing Canada into the Industrial so- ciety of today. eee Astronomers estimate that there are at least 100 billion stars in the Milky Way system.
