While the approach is new,

Hare symbolic
of resurrection

TORONTO (CP) — The
Easter bunny, parades, fancy
bonnets — all have their
place in the deeply religious
celebration of Easter.

But different people have
different interpretations of
the meaning of the symbols
of Easter, which falls on the
first Sunday after the first
full moon following spring
equinox.

Prof. Roger Reynolds of
the Pontifical Institute of
Medieval Studies at Univer-
sity of Toronto says the rab-
bit is linked with fertility
rites and, along with the egg,
is symbolic of the resurree-
tion of Jesus Christ and new
life. He notes that in 16th-
century Germany the hare
was known as the egg bearer.

The Encyclopaedia Britan-
nica says the Easter rabbit
came to Christinaity from
antiquity and that the hare

Egypt. The hare is born with
its eyes open and, like the
moon, is “the open-eyed wat-
cher of the skies” symbolic of
cycles in time and the be-
ginning of new life.

The conception of the egg
as a symbol of fertility and
renewed life goes back to the
ancient Egyptians and Per-
sians, who also had the cus-
tom of coloring and eating
eggs during their spring fes-
tivals.

RED IS SYMBOLIC

The color red often used in
the coloring of eggs is vari-
ously interpreted as signify-
ing fire, the sun, the blood of
Christ shed on Calvary and
the joy of Easter.

What now are known as
Easter lilies and adorn many
places over the holiday were
originally grown in Japan
before becoming well known
in Bermuda. They were
known as Madonna Lilies and

ANNUAL MEETING . . . Bob Brisco, Kootenay West Progressive Conservative can-

LATEST POLLING
Tories ahead in B.C.

VANCOUVER (CP) —
British Columbia's Progres-
sive Conservatives look at
the recent poll results and
try not to gloat about the
possibility of winning as
many as 26 of the province's
28 seats in the forthcoming
federal election.

The Conservatives already
hold 17 of the seats with the
remainder held by the New
Democratic Party. The Lib-
eral Party has not had a
member of Parliament from
B.C. since 1978.

Kootenay-West is among
seven NDP seats in B.C.
which the Conservatives
have targeted as vulnerable
in the next federal election.

And Lyle Knott, vice-
chairman of the Tories’ B.C.
election said the

statutory Crowsnest Pass

has resulted in millions of
dollars being pumped into his
riding in rail line improve
ments.

The Liberals have had
heavyweight ministers trav.
elling through the riding for
the past year. Energy Min-
ister Jean Chretien has been
there and Senator Jack Aus-
tin and International Trade
Minister Gerald Regan spoke
at a recent nominating meet-
ing in Revelstoke.

Although their polls are
good, Knott said the Con
servatives aren't taking any-
thing for granted.

Mulroney and his wife,
Mila, will swing through the
two Kootenay ridings and

party’s own poll done by
Gallup shows that in British
Columbia, 39 per cent of the
décided voters prefer the
Conservatives, 14 per cent
favor the Liberals and 11 per
cent would vote NDP if the
federal election were called
immediately.

The poll is accurate to plus
or minus four per cent. If the
26 per cent of the undecided
voters are distributed ac
cording to the preferences of
the decided voters, the Tor
ies would get 52 per cent of
the vote, the Liberals 23 per
cent and the NDP 16 per
cent.

Knott said the NDP
haven't a safe seat in B.C.
and seven are particularly
vulnerable.

Those seats are Kootenay
East-Revelstoke, Kootenay
West, Kamloops-Shuswap,
Burnaby, New Westminster-
Coquitlam, Comox-Powell
River and Nanaimo-Alberni.

The two Kootenay seats
are also on the Liberals’ tar-
get list. Kootenay East's
NDP incumbent, Sid Parker,
voted against changing the

Interior in mid-May, while
former finance minister John
Crosbie will speak at the
April 17 fund-raising dinner
for Vancouver Centre MP
Pat Carney and in June, he
will visit several ridings on
Vancouver Island.

Ron Johnson, chairman of
the NDP’s election campaign,
said he isn’t too worried
about the polls, but he admits
that the party is in the midst
of a pre-election campaign
tha’, includes an expensive
advertising blitz and the
party faithful knocking on
25,000 doors in 20 ridings.

He said the pre-election
campaign is “a clear effort to
expand the 11 seats we al-
ready hold.”

Frank Lew, prsident of the
B.C. Liberal Party, said
based on the party's polling,
the Liberals could win six to
10 seats.

He said he expects several
could be taken in the Wn-
couver area including North
Vancouver-Burnaby, which
was won by Conservative
Chuck Cook with a 1,600-vote
margin over Liberal Gordon

Those who oppose the
arms race could direct a por-

to the amount that would be
