One of Germany's big banks failed. The stock market is more like a swamp than a market. Inflation is scaring the wits out of people and even politicians. It was inevitable that some of us bigger figures in the financial and business game would be affected personally. Sure enough, I've been caught in a personal bind and I don't know whether to go for broke or go for the hills. I've been a pretty big shareholder of a stock called Peel Elder. I have 25 shares. It's a long story and I've told it before. But I got in on the ground floor, as we say on Bay St. and Wall St. These are a couple of well known streets in the financial world. One of them runs down to the bay. in case you want to drown yourself when the market is slumping. The other has a wall for pounding vour head against in the same eventuality. Well, as I was saying, I got in early. Was discharged from the air force with a couple of thousand bucks the paymaster had thoughtfully put away for mé while I was in prison camp. I had decided I wasn't going to slug and sweat all my life just to make a living. I was going to make it fast, and make it big. I looked the field over pretty carefully, searching for a career with a built-in escalator. And the field looked right back at me with a cold and steely eye, saying, in efeet. 'What do you know how to do. besides crashlanding an aircraft in a plowed field?' There wasn't really much I could answer to that. So, I thought, "The heck with the big corporations. when they can't recognize talent. drive and sheer ability, even though these are staring them right in their cold. corporate eye.' The final straw arrived when 2 personnel Srice manager at Bell Telephone told me warmly that ves. he thought there might be a real future for me with the company, and yes, he thought he might find a place for me in three or four months, but I'd have td start at the bottom. like everyone else. It turned out that the bottom was sweeping floors at something like $48 a week. Even in those days The Bell paid good wages. That's probably why they have to ask for a rate increase every couple of "years. to compensate for their incredible generosity of their employees. Anyway, the bottom didn't have much appeal. I'd had something in mind more like Vice-President in charge of Public Rela- tions. So I shook him warmly by the hand, with that sincerity that only a V-P in charge of PR can muster, thanked him, and said, 'Mustn't take any more of your time. I have to dash to the Royal York for lunch with Jack McClelland of McClelland and Stewart then catch the afternoon train for Montreal, where President Crump of the CPR has been. trving to get hold. of me for a week and by the way, if you get sick of The Bell. look me up in a year or so, and I might have something for you. Just contact Bill Smiley Associates, Incorporated, not to . thontion Limited.' Atleast I left him with his mouth open, but I was seething, inside. Some people seethe on the outside. but I always do it inside. Anyway. I strode out of there, muttering, 'Allright. OK. If that's the way they want it. I'll go it alone. I'll destroy tliem all within five years. I'll plunge into the stock market and buy them all up and have mergers and conglomerates and caviar and all sorts of stuff." Even then, young and inexperienced, I knew the jargon of big pusiness So T plunged. Tt was like a butterfly plunging at a bull elephant.
