Project Ploughshares

No winners in nuclear exchange

A film featuring retired
American military and CIA
personnel was followed by a
discussion led by the B.C
co-ordinator of Project
Ploughshares last Monday
night at the United Church in
Castlegar.

A number of local groups
concerned with disarma-
ment, as well as interested
individuals from Castlegar,
Trail and Rossland were
present.

The film, “War Without
Winners,” was narrated by
retired navy admiral Gene

LaRocque. LaCocque, a for- |
mer commander of an Ameri-

ican missile cruiser, is con-
vinced there can be no win-
ners in a nuclear exchange,
and heads up an organization
in Washington, D.C. promo-
ting disarmament measures.

The myth that the Rus-
sians are ahead of the U.S.
was exposed by Dr. Herbert
Scoville, former Deputy Dir-
ector of the CIA, and at one
time in charge of evaluating

“The Russians have never
been ahead,” he said on the
film, “and the myth of Soivet
superiority is being used to
panic the public in the U.S.”
The film also challenged
the ideas that military spend-
ing is good for the economy,
and that society could sur-
vive a nuclear exchange.
The film called on the gen-

eral public to express their.

desire for peace, and con-
cluded with a statement by
former American President
Eisenhower: “People want
peace so much that one day
governments may have to
get out of their way and let
them have it.”

In the discussion which
followed, Kathleen Wallace-
Deering of Project Plough-
shares outlined the tremen-
dous costs of military bud-
gets, $1 million per minute
world-wide, and explained
that her organization be-

, lieves such over-spending
contributes to inflation, and
uses resources and talents
that could better be used in
improving living conditions
around the world.

“True security is found not
in planning annihilation, but
in economic and social stab-
ility,” she said.

She listed various steps
individuals could take to
promote a slow-down of the
arms race, and described the
Proposal of a Nuclear Wea-
pon Free Zone for Canada
which Project Ploughshares
is promoting. The idea of
declaring zones free from nu-
clear weapons, their manu-
facture, targetting, or trans-
portation, was first proposed
by the United Nations with
support from all major pow-
ers, and is meant to help
reverse the feeling that noth-
ing can be done to avoid a
nuclear conflict.

Ted Bristow of the Castle-
gar United Church agreed at
the meeting to help co-ordin-
ate various disarmament ac-
tivites in theis area, and will
be calling a meeting of in-
terested people in the new
year to exchange information
and ideas.

Oil proposal
could reduce
competition

VANCOUVER (CP) — A
proposal to prevent oil com-
panies from selling gasoline
at the retail level could re-
duce rather than enhance
competition, says a spokes-
man for Shell Canada Ltd.

“Markets tend to be less
competitive when there are
barriers to entry,” Dan Pegg,
Shell's manager of business
and government services,
said in an interview.

Pegg was reacting to a

oil inquiry this week by the

ation of British Columbia.

Super brain

waits for job

By PASTOR ED WEGNER
Apostolic Church of
Pentecost

Perfect love casts out fear.
Fear is one the most common
negative emotions that man
experiences.

As we look into the future,
our hearts are often filled
with mixed feelings. All of
mankind seems to be headed
for self-destruction. Many
people are worried about the
future and fear then takes
over. Fear of something, or
someone is real, nagging at
the mind, until it has con-
vinced you that there is
absolutely no hope.

There is hope for those
who fear! God has the answer
for fear. Indeed. He is able to
give perfect peace to the
fearful heart. The Bible says,
“God is love .. .” (I John 4:16)
and God's love is the exact
opposite of fear. As we put
our trust and

whence comes fear. God is
perfect Love.

“There is no fear in love,
but perfect love casteth out
fear; because fear hath tor-
ment. He that feareth is not
made perfect in love.” (1
John 4:18)

What thoughts are domin-
ant in your mind? Are they
negative and critical towards
others? Perhaps they are
even negative and critical
towards God?

Then, come to God with
your fears — with your
frustrations, your hurts, your
anger. There is nothing that

we cannot bring to Him for
He already knows you com-
pletely. He will not drive you
away in disgust, but rather
He waits to welcome you into
the warmth of His love.

Hiding, or burying wrong
thoughts brings no relief, but
as we commit our thoughts,
our ways and our very lives
unto the Lordship of the
Jesus Christ, we will dis-
cover that He not only drives
out wrong emotions but He
also replaces them with the
healing light of His presence
and His own, very special
love.

CHURCHILL, MAN. (CP)
— About 45 Canadian and

God's love we will not be
afraid.

God is not the Supplier of
negative emotions such as
worry, fear, anger, jealousy
malice or hate. God is the
Supplier of perfect love and
where God's love is mani-
fested, these things cannot
exist for any length of time;
for “perfect love casteth out
fear.”

When fear and other dam-
aging emotions are en-
trenched for long periods of
time. Individuals will often
find themselves unable to

visualize what it would be
like to live without fear.
Deep depression, various
nervous disorders, even
physical illnesses will many
times be the result — some-
times even baffling physi-
cians as to its cause and cure.

Our peace with God, or
lack of it, has a direct bearing
upon our emotional and

con-
verge on this northern Mani-
toba community next month
for the launching of six major
rockets, a spokesman for the
Churchill Rocket Range said
Tuesday.

Range Operations Mana-
ger Dave Gray said the
launchings will occur be-
tween January and mid-

March and will include firings
for NASA projects and the
National Research Council.

Gray said a launching
program is currently under
way at Cape Perry, north of
Inuvik, N.W.T. This project
involves the firing of four
rockets to examine the mag-
netic forces approaching the
Earth from outer space, he
said.

Nurses dropping out

VANCOUVER (CP) —
Shift work, stress and lack of
opportunity to upgrade skills
have contributed to a dearth
of nurses in the Vancouver
area, nurses and hospital ad-
ministrators say.

“It's impossible to combine
a career in nursing with
having a family,” says Barb
Warren, registered nurse
and mother of three.

“It’s amazing that a pro-
fession made up of 90 per
cent women can’t find a way
to help us out.”

Warren, 30, graduated
from Vancouver General
Hospital six years ago; she's
been at home with small chil-
dren for the past three years,
In January, she'll return to
work — the family can no
longer get by on one salary.

“In a way it’s exciting. But
I know I'll be bitching in a
couple of months.”

Ideally, Warren would like
hospitals to provide on-site
child care, or to find a way to
schedule shifts for the same
three days every week, eas-
ing day-care arrangements.

And she'd like to see in-

NOT AN ISSUE

Salaries are no longer an
issue. First-year RNs can
earn $1,836 a month.

Pat Cutshal, acting dire-
ctor of the Registered Nurses
Association of B.C., says that
last January, 380 nursing
jobs went unfilled in B.C. In
August, the vacancy rate was
540.

An association survey last
summer found the profession
dominated by younger wom-
en, indicating that “nursing is
not very compatible with
family life and those who
choose to raise a family often
choose to leave the pro-
fession entirely.”

Even fewer nurses may be
trained next year in B.C. —
the B.C. Institute of Tech-
nology, which usually accepts
68 nursing students each
year, will be training only a
third that number in 1982.

“It's all to do with money,”

BCIT’s general nursing de-
partment head. The budget
squeeze means nursing train-
ing, an expensive program,
will suffer.

Hospital care will deter-
iorate with a lack of nurses,
Orchard says.

“You'll have increased
medical-legal suits. And the
burnout of nurses is a factor;
lots of them will just throw
up their hands and leave.”

EDMONTON (CP) — Roy
Hagen, 20, was rounding a
corner on a gravel road July
8, 1979, when his Honda car
collided head-on with a half-
ton truck.

The tiny vehicle folded like
a paper box. Hagen, with
‘severe head injuries, broken
ribs and a punctured lung,
lay in a pool of blood for an
hour, trapped inside.

He was in a coma for three
weeks, It has taken him more
than two years to recover
from most of his injuries,
although he says psychologi-
cal and neurol damage
remain.

“A year ago ‘I probably
couldn't put: together this
sentence,” he ‘said in an
interview. “My speech is still
slower and still slurred and I
can't’ concentrate. on one
thing for very long.”

But he is convinced things s

could have been a lot worse.

“If hadn't been wearing a
seat belt I wouldn't be alive.”

Hagen, as are other mem-
bers of the Alberta Safety
Council’s Saved ‘By The Belt
Club, is spending National
Safe Driving Week (Dec. 1-7)
talking about his convictions.

IN AHURRY x

Hagen, a university stu-
dent who drives a truck for a
construction company in the
summer, says too many dri-
vers are, in a hurry.

“Ever since the accident,
T've become more aware of
the way people drive. They
take risks they shouldn't be
taking because they’re in
such a hurry or they've got
something on their mind.”

Hagen has taken measures
to’ protect himself on the
road.

“I won't drive ina small car
anymore. I drive a truck now
with a heavy-duty bumper on
the front. I know I won't run
into any more trouble be-
cause people give you a lot
of room when. you're in
something that big.”

Edmonton lawyer Charles
Gardner, 30, is another mem-
ber of the club.

with a farm truck last August
160 kilometres east of Ed-

Gardner and his wife were
both wearing seat belts.

Gardner’s brother, who
was sleeping in the back seat
without a seat belt, received
a broken leg and hip in the
accident and was in a body
cast for three months.

Gardner and his wife sus-
tained injuries from their
seat belts — cracked sterums
and ribs caused by the impact
of their bodies against the
belts.
