Hastings St. Burnaby, B.C. TWENTY-SEVENTH EDITION Joseph Robert Wilfrid Bordeleau was born in Hull, Quebec, and chris- ened in neighboring Ottawa. Two of his Christian names were in honor of Canadian statesmen—Robert for Bor- den and Wilfrid for Laurier. His father, “Bob” Bordeleau, a civic em- ployee, was handy with rod and gun. He initiated the boy early in outdoor sports. Both sides of the family were Cana- dian many generations back. Mr. Bor- deleau, Senior, happened to be born in Brooklyn, but his son can’t recall whether there was any trace of Flat- bush in his French. French was the only language the young Bordeleau spoke for the first few years of his life. He learned Eng- lish rapidly when he was pitched into an Ontario country school at Black Bay, near Petewawa, where only Eng- lish and German were understood. He attended this school for a month or so each year, because it happened to be the nearest school to the terri- tory where his father went on a long hunting trip in the fall. His father wanted him to come along without missing any lessons. His father died when he was only 14. The young Bordeleau attended Notre Dame College and Le Salle University in Ottawa, and was train- ing to be a teacher when he suddenly decided the indoor life was not for him. He worked briefly for the E. B. Eddy Co. in a match factory and then in a pulp mill, testing pulp. He join- ed a construction gang building a hydro-electric installation at Skeed, near Sudbury, Ontario; then went log- ging in Northern Ontario for three years. Mounted Police Meanwhile he had applied to join the Mounted Police. The force ac- cepted him, when he was 24 years old. The Mounted Police were literally mounted in those days. Every recruit went through a year’s hard training at Regina—much of that time on horseback. During a ride one cold morning he slipped into a day-dream and jogged along with his face turned away from the wind, meanwhile whistling a tune called “Piccolo Pete.” In the process he got separated somewhat from the others, and his casual riding style caught the eye of the instructor, who flew into a rage. Addressing him scornfully as “Pete,” the instructor gave him a tongue-lash- ing in front of the whole parade—as the custom was. After that, his com- rades began calling him “Pete.” The nickname stuck. He is known all across Canada as Pete now. Sali King Auto and Body Repairs JACK DAVIS, Manager Phone N.W. 4330-Y 3 S.
