Fog will make a public presentation in the board ‘room at Selkirk College's Rosemont Campus in Nelson on Wednesday afternoon and an evening presentation on Thursday in Trail in Steel- worker Local 9705's office complex. Ten years ago, Fog packed his bags, bid farewell to fam- ily and friends and set out on the adventure of a lifetime, according to a CUSO news release. Armed with a com- munity college diploma and several years of pre-college experience in electronics, he was headed for Nigeria to teach radio and electronic servicing at a government technical school on a two year CUSO contract. “It was a boarding school,” Fog recalls. “The ‘boys’ ranged in age from 13 to 25. I wasn't even 25 myself at the time. But I really enjoyed the teaching experience. I wasn't in it for the money, that's for sure. My salary amounted to about $200 a month, plus house . . . not a lot» but enough. “T actually saved enough to do some travelling in other parts of Africa.

He is responsible for re- cruiting and preparing Can- adians with technical and trades skills to work in the Third World. In the trade and technical area, CUSO has openings for technicians and technologists with community college dip- lomas and at least two years experience, trad i them. Ap propriate technology is not just gadgets. A hand pump is only appropriate if it's main- tainable and does the job you want it to do. If you can't maintain it, or you can't af- ford the parts to repair it, sometimes you are better off with an open well and a bucket and rope system.”. As well as technicians and tradespeople, CUSO is look- ing for health workers — in- cluding doctors and nurses — teachers, agriculturalists, economists, business admin- fore- with journeyman status and the ability to teach, and en- gineers. These people will work in areas such as construction, mechanics, technical draw- ing, electrical work, heavy Wedding write-ups Castlegar News welcomes wedding write-ups from area residents and will publish the write-ups at no charge.

However, it does not project the whole picture. In a mixed economy such as we have in Canada, both the private sector and the public sector not only complement but dependant on each other as well. Therefore, both are necessary. Following, are very few of the many ways that the private sector is assisted by the public ‘sector through gov- ernments and their employees as well and enhance each other, as public sector spending. tance programs. The public sector absorbs the cost of educating and training the labor force. A well educated and technically trained labor force facilitates efficient produe- tion and ensures that the skills re- quired by private sector business are available. The public sector absorbs the cost of many employee benefits and related services such as health care, that employers (both private sector and public sector) would otherwise have to pay. By providing basic medical and hospital services, the public sector en- sures a healthy and a more productive work force. are The public sector establishes and provides the economic infrastructure such as roads, electrical utilities, pipe- lines, water and sewage systems, land servicing, airports, port facilities, rail- roads and a wide range of other fac- ilities which are necessary for the pri- vate sector to produce and market their goods efficiently. The public sector (governments at all levels and their employees) provides a large market for products and services of the private sector. The volume of private sector products purchased by all levels of the public sector is enor- mous. In many private sector indus- tries — such as defence — public sector is the only purchaser. The public sector provides needed research for the private sector and fre- quently public money is provided to private sector firms in the form of venture or risk capital associated with new products or industries. At the same time the public sector allows the private sector to make and keep profits if the product succeeds, and this is good for both sectors. As well, public money to subsidize many private sector corporations directly through literally hundreds of different assis- is used Moreover, by providing “public” health care, the public sector reduces diret costs to all employers. Health related benefit costs are far less for Canadian employers than for their U.S. counterparts. Indeed, the Canadian public sector health care system is con- siderably more efficient and consumes significantly less of the nations re- sources than its U.S. counterpart even though the latter is largely “private.” In 1982, for example, Canada allo- cated 7.5 per cent of its GNP to health care while in the same period the U.S. allocated 10.5 per cent of its GNP to health care. The public sector provides a wide range of police, fire and other security services that protect the assets of the private sector. . These are just very few of the many, many services that the pyblic sector and its employees provide to the privat There are just very few of the many, many services that the public sector and its employees provide to the private sector. In your letter, Ms. Bakken, you state, “just think back to how it was before the private sector decided to Iris needs her Editor, Castlegar News: Tt(t8p4 hg Wheit Egat woken up in the middle of the night, L can't get back to sléep.

There is an average of one Central Kootenay Re gional District meeting per month. I also get a gas allowance. I probably spend more than than on phone calls. Most of what I have been working on is not through the regional district. It seems a lot of people can’t figure out why I'm putting all this effort into trying to get something going. Some seem to figure there must be an angle or scheme, or that I'm being paid big bucks to do it. The answer is quite simple. Bélieve it or not, I'm doing it because I care. Maybe I'm crazy, but I do.

How Iris, would you board your private sector airplane when you fly to all corners of the world to sell ‘your private sector products if there were no public sector airports for the private sector airplanes to land on? How, Iris, would you move your private sector stone products to mar- ket if there were no public sector roads? How would you sen@ your letter to the editor if there was no public sector postal services? Would you use a private messenger? How and where would he travel? Would you use a homing pigeon? My hat is off to you and your small private sector business, Iris, for your noble effort to save the country by not only “producing” jobs but producing stone products as well. And, Iris, I am confident that you can produce even more jobs if consumers of your stone products had more disposable income to purchase more of your stone prod uets. But Iris, how can consumers have more disposable income to buy more of your stone products if Mr. Bennett and Mr. Peck don't give raises to anyone, as you suggest in your letter? Pulpit & Pew By Rev. TERRY DeFOE St. Peter's Lutheran Church WHAT IS GOD LIKE? Recently, a movie called The Prodigal -was shown in our area. This movie had a powerful Christian message using the parable of the prodigal son as its basis. This parable; found in the book of Luke (chapter 15, verses 11 to 31) is one of the clearest explanations in the entire Bible of what God is like. Well, what is God like? How do you picture Him? Full of wrath and anger? Or loving and compassionate? In the parable, the younger of the two sons asks his father for his inheritance early. He doesn't want to wait. The father surprises us by giving the inheritance to his son. He is willing to take the risk involved. What is God like? He is generous. The younger son takes his inheritance and quickly spends it on things that would anger his father. He is careless and thankless. He quickly ends up with nothing. He is hungry, and de- pressed, and feeling guilty for what he has done. And to make things worse, he knows that all of this is his fault. . At this point, the son remembers all the good things that he used to have n he lived in the father’s . We are told that he “comes to his senses.” He decides to go back. “Maybe if I grovel in the dirt before him, he'll take me back,” he thought. As soon as the father saw his son on the road home, he ran out to welcome him — no scolding, no lectures, just love. He didn’t need to rub it in. The son had already suf- fered enough for his foolish behavior. The father accept- ed his son's repentance with- out question. What is God like? He hates sin but loves the sinner. He loves people and wants the best for them. He welcomes back those who are sorry for what they have done. He offers a clean slate. His anger for sin is dir- ected to His own Son, who takes the punishment for us. Those who. personally trust Jesus Christ are counted righteous for His sake. Have you been away from the Father's house for a while? Come on home. He's waiting for you. After all Iris, most are workers — be they private sector, employed, underemployed, unemploy- ed, on UIC or on welfare.
