Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau con- demned the Bishops as being poor economists, while labor leaders praised the state- ment as a welcome analysis a the current situation. *. At the heart of the state- ae the Bishops reiterated ‘the church's position that “the current structural ‘changes in the global econ- omy... reveal a deepening tion directly « the ethical principal that labor, not. capital must be given priority. in the’ development of an economy based on jus- tice.” Almost a year later the issues touched on by this statement have not disap- peared and, in fact, B.C. is presently seeing the very 're- ion of “capital” over la- bor that the Bishops warned against. The Bishops maintain that until priority is given to labor — that is, — the miseries of unemploy- ment, of poverty and injus- tice will continue to be struc- tural to parts of our world. Since the statement was published, small groups of to ordinary people’ across’ Canada, have been responding to the Bishops’ call to meet and to discuss the issues raised. In this way, people are deepening their understand- ing. and contributing their ideas regarding the future course of our society, Now in the K 8 and perceptions of present reality at levels from the local to the global.

Some residents said privately they thought Keegstra was doing a good job as mayor. But if it meant more TV cameras and microphones being pushed into their faces, well, that was too much to ask. “I think the majority of people just decided that Mr. Keegstra’s views were hurting the community,” said Laurie Carritt, owner. of one of the town's gas stations. “They were tired of all the publicity.” NEVER ELECTED Keegstra, who became mayor of Eckville in 1979 when Leach stepped down because of illness, was never elected to the job. He was returned by acclamation in 1980. He was fired late last year from his high school teaching job, where he told students there was no evidence to support claims six million Jews died in Nazi concentration camps during the Second World War. During his 14 years at the school, only a couple of blocks from where he and his wife live in a mobile home, Keegstra also talked of a Zionist conspiracy to take over the world. His views remain as strong as ever. “It’s censored history I was teaching,” he said in an interview. ‘It’s history hepre | deliberately hiding from people.” Len. meanwhile, is doing his best to restore Eckville's ‘Tve bi heard from some reporters that they got a fairly cool reception in Eckville,” he said after his election victory. ie be § "certainly hope ‘they don't. ‘take that as ‘the way our town is because we have a tremendous community.
