As the BC Teachers Federation and the government of British Columbia continue to shoot spitballs at each other, one of our aged contributors came up with this memory:
"In the early 1940s, Dan Cameron, vice-principal of Moose Jaw's Ross School, saw that the school janitor was about to retire. He immediately applied for the janitor's job. It seemed that the janitorial position carried a higher salary than the v-p's.
"Cameron did not get the janitor's job.
"But he did move on to the CBC, as Talks and Education Producer, and later became director of the network's Alberta operations, and finally the Prairie division.
"The last time I saw him was on an airplane traveling somewhere. He was nattily attired. I believe he had reached the point where he was earning more than either the vice-principal or the janitor."
