A man who helped design Sid-
ney’s flag, was a founding member
of the Reform Party and’ served as
vice-chainman of the Sidney Advi-
sory Planning Commission died
suddenly in Saanich Peninsula
Hospital July 14 at the age of 86.

Dr. Andrew Stewart had an out-
standing academic and community
service career before he retired to
Sidney in 1973.

In Sidney he served on the
planning commission and the Pro-
vincial Capital Commission, was
an active member of both the
Saanich Peninsula Arts and Crafts
Association and the Sidney Rotary.
Club.

“He molded with clay, carved
with wood and designed hooked
Tugs,” said Don Amos, describing
his father-in-law’s artistic inter-
ests.

Stewart was also heavily
involved in designing and develop-
ing Sidney’s flag, Amos added.

“Throughout his life he was
always busily involved with fore-
ign students,’ Amos said.

Close friend Dr. Francis Win-
spear, originator of the Winspear
Foundation, described Stewart as
“One of Canada’s greatest Cana-
dians, never properly recognized.”

Stewart was born Jan. 15, 1904
in Musselburgh, Scotland,
attended Daniel Stewart College
from 1913 to 1919 and received a
diploma from the east of Scotland
College of Agriculture in 1924.

After farming experience in
Australia and Canada, he obtained
Bachelor of Science and Agricul-

ture and a Master of Arts (Eco-
nomics) degrees from the Univer-
sity of Manitoba.

Following a year of graduate
studies in Scotland, he was
appointed to the Department of
Political Economy at the Univer-
sity of Alberta in 1935.

In 1950 he became president of
the university.

‘One of Canada’s
greatest
Canadians, never
properly
recognized’

He served on federal and provin-
cial royal commissions during his
years at the university, including
the Alberta Commission on
Municipal and Provincial Rela-
tions, the Alberta Commission on
Natural Gas, the Royal Commis-
sion on Canada’s Economic Pros-
pects (Gordon Commission) and
the Royal Commission on Price
Spreads of Food Products.

In 1958 he became chairman of
the Association of Canadian Univ-
ersity and the Commonwealth
Universities Conference.

While president he. was awarded
honorary doctorates from Mani-
toba, New Brunswick, Alberta,
Laval (Quebec) and Melbourne,
Australia.

He also served for 10 years in
Ottawa as Chairman of the Board
of Broadcast Govemors, the body

New split rdise proposed
for North Saanich council

A split raise, half for the present

North Saanich council and half for
the incoming council after the
November election, was given
first, second and third reading by
council Monday.
@Ald. Dee Bailin and Ald. Don
Caverley voted against the increase
in stipends. The increase would
give the mayor $9,000 annually as
of Aug. 1 and $12,500 annually as
of Jan. 1.

Aldermen would receive $4,500
annually as of Aug. 1 and $6,000
annually as of Jan. 1.

The mayor now receives $7,830
annually and aldermen receive
$3,550 annually,

Ald. Brian Dunic proposed the
increased stipends. Ald. Art
McKinnon noted the increases
take council stipends to the mid-
point provincially. North Saanich
council members now receive one
of the lowest stipends in the prov-
ince, he said.

Ald. Bailin opposed the
increases and described serving on
council as a community responsi-
bility and a volunteer job. She
doubted potential council mem-
bers are deterred from running for
council because of the stipend.

Ald. Caverley also opposed the
increase.

In earlier debate on increased
stipends, he said it was a privilege
to serve on council.

Michaluk also backed the
increase. In earlier debate, she said
the increases would make it more
financially feasible for people to
tun for council, since participation
on municipal council often cuts
into income.

Ald. Rebecca Vermeer said the
increases would make the stipends
large enough to cover the expenses
incurred by being on council.

Michaluk said final adoption of
the increases would not occur until
all aldermen were present. Ald.
Maurice Chazottes was not at
Monday’s meeting.

She also suggested it would be
easier for the municipal account-
ing department if the second
increase in stipends took effect at
the Dec. 4 inaugural meeting fol-
lowing the municipal election.
