Murray LISTER, Royal Canadian Air Force Air Vice-Marshal (1912-2006)
In 1966 he was rising to the top of his cherished Royal Canadian
Air Force when he resigned to protest against Ottawa's plan to
unify the military and outfit Canada's Armed Forces in lamentable
green serge
By Buzz BOURDON,
Special to the Globe and Mail, Page S8
Ottawa -- Murray
LISTER was a man of integrity. In 1966, as an
Royal Canadian Air Force air vice-marshal in charge of Air Defence
Command, he quit rather than stand by and watch Paul
HELLYER
unify Canada's armed services. Defying the minister of national
defence in 1966 came at a very high price for Mr.
LISTER, whose
responsibility is was to defend Canada against aerial attack
by the Soviet Union. Unlike hundreds of other senior officers,
he deliberately refused to follow Mr.
HELLYER's dictatorial party
line and lost his promotion to air marshal, at that time a rank
equivalent to an army lieutenant-general.
Mr. LISTER's decision took many by surprise, since he was fifth
from the top of the Royal Canadian Air Force's seniority list,
but he never regretted following his conscience at such a great
personal cost, his son, Murray, said. "He was a man of principle
and the main principle he followed was duty. He declined promotion
and accepted early retirement on the principle of duty toward
the traditions and morale of the air force."
The trouble had started after he made his feelings known. He
believed that while the traditions of the Royal Canadian Navy
and the army were important, those of the Royal Canadian Air
Force were unique. "He didn't want any service tradition to be
diluted," his son said. "He felt that the effectiveness of each
of the three services was built on morale. There was no point
in destroying this morale."
One day in mid-March of 1966, during the height of the unification
crisis that gripped Parliament and the country, Mr.
LISTER was
summoned to Ottawa and found himself on the carpet. Air Chief
Marshal Frank
MILLER, the chief of the defence staff, accused
him of criticizing unification in speeches to subordinates.
Fortunately, Mr.
LISTER's aide, retired squadron leader Robert
FLYNN, had taken notes on what his boss had actually said. "While
he did not 100-per-cent support the concept, he impressed those
over whom he had command that it was his and their duty to respect
and honour the political directives. It was a very uneasy and
stressful time for him, but he weathered the storm," Mr.
FLYNN
said.
Mr. HELLYER's ambitious drive to create one service from the
navy, army and air force, unveiled in 1964 in a government white
paper, created enormous controversy. Mr.
HELLYER insisted his
dual plan of integration and unification would save millions
of dollars that would be better spent on new equipment, but many
saw it as a direct attack on the military's cherished, British-based
traditions. Thousands of sailors, soldiers and airmen were appalled
that Mr. HELLYER wanted to scrap their traditional uniforms of
navy blue and army khaki and replace them with a common green
serge. Sailors and airmen would wear army ranks on their sleeves.
Mr. LISTER was a strong supporter of integration, which sought
to eliminate costly triplication such as separate personnel and
supply systems. If he'd decided to put his career before his
principles, there's no telling how high he might have risen,
since Mr. HELLYER desperately needed senior officers to toe his
party line and take over from those who decided to resign.
Mr. LISTER, known as a strict disciplinarian, had a strong streak
of stubbornness, his son said. "His sense of duty came from his
mother, who was very strict herself and brought him up that way.
He had enormous willpower. He used logic in arguing and was quite
an intellectual. He was a super-achiever."
Tragically, the stress of coping with unification may have affected
Mr. LISTER's first marriage to Janet
RICHMOND, their daughter
Sydney said. Her parents were divorced in 1971 after 32 years
of marriage. Still, there was plenty of hope and happiness at
the beginning, she said. "My dad always told us how much fun
she was, how talented she was… It was a love story."
After graduating from the Royal Military College of Canada in
1935, Mr. LISTER flew fighters with the Royal Canadian Air Force.
He and his bride of four months happened to be in England when
war broke out on September 1, 1939. Naturally, he thought he'd
soon be flying against the German Luftwaffe, but brass had a
better appreciation of his talents.
A week later, he was recalled to Canada and put to work organizing
all bombing and gunnery training facilities for the British Commonwealth
Air Training Plan. Dubbed the "Aerodrome of Democracy," Canada
built an enormous network of training bases that, over the next
five years, trained 131,500 aircrew from the British Commonwealth
and Allied nations. Overall, the Royal Canadian Air Force grew
dramatically to 215,000 men and women and 88 squadrons.
Promoted to group captain in 1943 at the early age of 31, Mr.
LISTER
tried to get overseas to fly on operations but never made it,
his son said. "He was too valuable. That bothered him to the
end of his life, [since] his first love was flying."
The closest he came to going operational was to command Station
Tofino, British Columbia, an air base that flew long-distance
anti-submarine patrols far into the Pacific. His 1944-45 posting
earned him a mention in dispatches: "By his ability and outstanding
devotion to duty he has raised the standard of this unit to a
high pitch of operational efficiency."
After the war, Mr.
LISTER filled four key positions as the Royal
Canadian Air Force expanded dramatically to 52,000 men and women.
In 1954, he was appointed chief of plans and intelligence. In
1958, he was appointed deputy vice-chief of the Royal Canadian
Air Force and chief of training, a job that gave him and his
wife Janet -- known as a gracious hostess -- a high profile on
Ottawa's diplomatic cocktail circuit.
In 1960, Mr.
LISTER went to Colorado Springs where he spent four
years at North American Air Defence Command as deputy chief of
staff, operations. Mr.
LISTER played a key part in organizing
North American Air Defence Command, an agency set up to protect
North America from air attack. He had a first-hand view of the
Cuban missile crisis that brought the United States and the Soviet
Union to the brink of nuclear war in 1962.
Jaye LISTER, then 14, still remembers the worries she experienced
when her father didn't come home for four days. It was the height
of the Cold War and nuclear conflict seemed a horrible possibility
for millions. "We had a red phone in the master bedroom, a direct
line to North American Air Defence Command headquarters. One
morning I asked mum where Dad was. Her reply was, 'I don't know.
The red phone rang and your father left. I don't know when we'll
see him.' We had no contact with him at all."
In 1964, Mr.
LISTER took command of Air Defence Command, which
included squadrons of CF-100 and CF-101 fighters. Mr.
FLYNN remembers
his boss as "a very demanding person yet very patient and understanding.
He had a great sense of humour yet was a no-nonsense type. When
toughness was demanded he could dish it out, but always in a
human and respectful manner. [He] treated me, as he did everyone,
with human understanding."
After retiring from the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1966, Mr.
LISTER
became a gentlemen farmer, growing apples and wheat and raising
sheep and cattle on a farm near Picton, Ontario In 1997, more
than 50 years after he had last flown an aircraft, Mr.
LISTER
took to the sky one last time as a pilot. Although by then blind
in one eye, he made a "beautiful flight," an observer said.
"[It's] exactly like riding a bicycle," Mr.
LISTER said at the
time. "You never forget. Everything felt very natural. It was
tremendously exciting."
Murray Duncan
LISTER was born on January 17, 1912, in Edmonton.
He died of pneumonia on January 7, 2006, in Niagara-on-the-Lake,
Ontario He was 10 days short of his 94th birthday. He leaves
his wife Elizabeth
DAILLEY, son Murray, and daughters Sydney
and Jaye. He also leaves stepdaughters Elizabeth and Lynne.

Methadone pharmacist passes away
Wing WONG accused by regulatory board
Dispensing habits were under fire
By Brian WHITWHAM,
Special To
The
Star
To a regulatory body, Wing
WONG's methadone distribution network
put recovering heroin addicts at risk. But, to others, he was
a hero who strived to help Ontario addicts find a better life.
WONG, who owned pharmacies in Kitchener, Guelph and Hanover with
wife Susan, died either Sunday night or early yesterday. The
exact time and cause were unknown at press time.
The
Ontario
College of Pharmacists had accused
WONG of overbilling
for methadone dispensing and "disgraceful, dishonourable or unprofessional"
conduct. The college also alleged
WONG broke rules that ensure
methadone is administered safely. The rules had stated that methadone
must be provided to patients in person by licensed pharmacists.
WONG always denied any wrongdoing. His disciplinary hearing before
the college was scheduled for October and November.
WONG was featured in a Toronto Star investigation earlier this
year that examined serious problems with methadone distribution
and triggered a provincial government review. The series outlined
WONG's exclusive right to supply methadone and other drugs to
a chain of clinics called Ontario Addiction Treatment Centres.
Doses were delivered by courier to clinics where staff supervised
addicts' methadone intake.
WONG made financial investments in
the clinics and bought medical software sold by Ontario Addiction
Treatment Centres's founders.
Ontario
Addiction
Treatment Centres co-founder Doctor Jeff
DAITER
called WONG a pioneering "maverick" who made it easier for thousands
of people to kick their addictions.
WONG was ordered in March
to stop shipping methadone but the college issued an "interim"
policy allowing him to continue provided Ontario Addiction Treatment
Centres doctors got a federal exemption so they could delegate
methadone dispensing to a "qualified person."
