Page Two TERRACE “Omineca" HERALD, TERRACE, BRITISH COLUMBIA Wednesday, March 23, 196 Strike down the hand... AN AMERICAN-controlled union has its fingers on the throat of one of Canada's Centennial projects and it looks as if the project will have to be scrapped. The American Federation of Musicians has forbidden o Canadian record producer to make a recording of the famous military band of the Royal Canadien Mounted Police, Producer Ken Warriner has offered to pay the RCMP bandsmen union scale in order to produce the long play but Gilbert Rogers, spokesmon for the American Fed- eration, has stated the recording cannot be mode under any circumstances. It was pointed out that recordings of ‘a similar nature have been cut by the United Stotes Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines for RCA Victor and that these musicians are not members of the union either, Rogers passed this off with a casual observation, ‘Those recordings were cul- tural projects." The whole sticky mess appears pretty | chintzy in our estimation. The Royal Can- adian Mounted Police is a Canadian mili- tary force and every bit as good if not better than anything the United States might have to offer. As for the cultural value of such a re- cording we might point out there are only two military band recordings of O Canada available. One was made by the Royal Netherlands Navy and the other was made A AN OFFICIAL DECLARATION was signed Tuesday by Reeve A. Goulet of Terrace. The through April 2 as Easter Seal Week. The sign- declaration names the week of March 26 by the British Grenadier Guards. No Cana- dian military band has ever recorded our national anthem! Now that one is prepared to make the recording as part of a Centennial long play, an American union has put the big fot yetoe on the plan. Things have reached a sorry state when an American union has the power of dicta- tion shown in this situation. In essence they are telling a Canadian record producer he cannot make a Cana- dian recording using a Canadian military band and what is even more deplorable —~ they are telling the Canadian people what is acceptable as Canadian culture and what is not acceptable. Anyone who thinks unions are not too strong in this nation had better lock close- ly at the existing regulations. Regulations ‘thet allow union orders to supercede mili- tary orders, Should a commanding officer tell his band they will appear at any certain place and the union says they will not ——- the union overrules. The fact is that under present agree- ments, American union officials have more authority than certain commanding offi- cers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
