Actually, the guy in ques- tion, Bryan Taylor, scems not to have had a hood. But the the media have plenty in their morgues. Hot weather brings on the Silly Season, when no news is big news. That’s why the recent heat wave produced the amazing revelation that there was a Grand Dragon of the KKK in B.C. Well, that should send cartoonist Krieger of The Province into a state of bliss, hoods being one of his most popular sketches When I got my Canada 125 Medal he did nic in one. keep it on my office wall. How many minor dragons are there? Probably at least three. In the case of the Grand Dragon there couldn’t have been more excitement if the Loch Ness Monster had been seen waddling down Granville Street. _ He was worth the whole of the front page of Krieger’s paper, plus an inside page cadlined “Klan chief sailed through previncial licence check.” * ” He must have been as clever as all those Triad types we keep hearing about. The Province went for ‘quotes to its chief adviser in such matters, Alan Dutton, a overnment-financed mem- er of the extreme Left and one of the biggest grant- snatchers in the count Stern warnings we issued about hoods a Times change. Forty years ago it would have been Dutton the Red who was under the bed A Maple Ridge News - sleuth'spent t months flushing out our Dragon. Which tells me dragons are rare beasts.

Is that all? What are they? A bunch of closet liberals? During the Mulroney regime a national Tory con- vention voted to get rid of multiculturalism. Place must have been full of dragons and Klaverns. Abortion? Battles against abortion on mand are going on right across B.C. Kore hoods. Criminal rights? Didn’t the mayor of Vancouver go to Ottawa to ask that crimi- nals lose the protection they get tinder the Charter? How M come The Province didn’t take a picture of his hood? .:-. Homosexuality?

Don't we have stories every day about that? Are secret hoods at work in the ranks of the daihes? Watch it, you guys, or ‘There couldn’t have been more excitement if the Loch Ness Monster had been seen waddling down Granville Street’ Warren Kinsella will be exposing you. According to him, even old John Diefenbsker was in cahoots with the KKK. Finally, it was claimed in the the KKK pamphiet shown on the front page that “White Christian Values and Heritage are under attack.” So they were, last time I looked.

What sort of “investigative journal- isn)” is that? And now he’s lost his job and been fright- ened off. Otherwise he might have held a one-man hood parade down Lonsdale and given us all a thrill. Never mind. Others probably in line to be T Grandest Dragon in the Land. Even if they aren’t, let’s pretend. The dailies and the CBC have to be kept in busi- ness.
