The danger is very great, and the result of the war will be staggering in its cost in human suffering and death, as well as in destruction of Property and the environment. This complex problem has been at the* forefront of people’s minds for many months now. Many solutions were suggested, some very simplistic, others more complicated. It is ob- vious the United Nations tried very hard to bring about a peaceful with- drawal of Iraq’s forces from Kuwait. No success was achieved. Why was this problem so difficult? Many factors entered into this problem. They include religion, Politics, past grievances, possession of rich oil reserves, plus the bitter animosity between the Arabs and the Jews. Diplomatic efforts have been made for years to settle these problems. As commendable as these many at- PLEASE NOTE: tempts were at preserving peace in the area, they were almost certainly doomed to failure. The problems are deeper than oil and the Arabs, deeper than bitter hostility of the Israelis and the Palestinians, deeper than the great arms build-up of the United States and Iraq. It is rooted in the selfishness and deceit, the suspicion and spirit of revenge of the sinful human heart. All through human history, war has resulted because mankind harbored selfishness and revenge and hatred in its heart. Nations may even claim to be Christian. But if these sins remain in the hearts of the majority there can be no lasting peace. (Ireland’s painful and deplorable conflict is an example of this.) ‘What is needed is a deep change of heart, a basic change of human nature, on a universal scale. Christ came into our world to make that possible, and wherever it has been implemented seriously, it works! This is what the prophet Isaiah was foretelling in Isaiah Chapter 11 when he said that Christ would make it Possible for the war-like nature of Copy changes taken once pers — only. f each the wolf, the leopard and the lion to be so changed as to dwell peaceably with the lamb, the goat and the calf. (Isaiah 11:6). Where people will take Christ seriously He does change human nature at that level. Unfortunately, most ‘people do not open their lives to Christ at that level.

Ziegler’s comments were in con- trast to those of Wayne Gretzky, who wanted the annual all-star game called off because of the Persian Gulf war. “If T had any say, I'd cancel the game Saturday,” Gretzky said Wed- nesday. night, a few hours after the war began. “I'd tell everybody to go home and evaluate what's going on," the Los Angeles Kings centre added. “That's only my opinion, but I don't run this league. The game is great for Chicago, great for hockey, but that’s all secondary now,” “‘And I certainly support‘ Wayne’s | or anybody else’s right to have their own feelings and.I certainly support his right to express it."* The NHL considered cancelling the 1942-43 season while the Second World War was raging, but the Canadian government passed a resolution asking it to keep playing,” in the interests of public morale,” said league spokesman Gary Mi A What prompted the NHL's doubts then was its depleting stock of quality players. In 1941-42,*more than 70 NHL Players were called into the Armed Forces. The next season, that num- ber increased to 176, and the NHL responded by reducing the number of roster spots by one to 12. Ziegler noted the NHL didn’t shut down for wars in Korea and Viet- nam. “At this point, we have had no indication that this long-standing policy should change. We will respond as we can depending on the signals we get and the information we get.”” However, the gulf crisis could pre- empt the game’s live television coverage.

The Colts were one point in front Midgets Da and Hunter in Beaver Valley. With second spot and the chance to host during the first round of the playoffs on the line, the Colts are likely to throw everything they can at the Rebels. “Every game now, we have to play 60 minutes of hockey, ‘cause every game is so important,”’ said Colts coach Merv Haney. ‘‘We're down to 10 games now.”’ Haney is aware of Castlegar’s second. Haney said the Colts’ fate is in their own hands, especially with two games remaining against Spokane. In preparation for this weekend, the Rebels coaching staff have in- vited Mike Hunter and Nino Da Costa from the Castlegar midget club to play this weekend. Joice said Hunter and Da Costa will get a lot of ice time. “We'll be looking for the guys to Costa called up give strong performances,” Joice said. Da Costa played in the Trail game last week and put on quite a show, assisting on Derek Lalonde’s third- Period goal. Joice and the coaches hope for a similar performance this weekend by the youngsters.

SHSS coach Doug Hickey hopes his team will be one of the finalists. “The boys program has been a bit neglected over the past couple of years in terms of its cohesion between the junior and senior boys,” Hickey said. ‘‘Last year was my first year coaching the juniors. We are trying to do ia job, as far as skill for the kids. With the addition of John Ritchie coaching the seniors I think we now have that step we need for the juniors to progress."’ The players say this year’s team is much stronger than last year’s. “Many of the players (on last year’s club) didn’t play in grades 7 and 8 and our team mostly con- sisted of rookies,”’ said Marcel Dusseault, one of several retur- ning players. ‘‘I guess four out of five starters last year were rookies.

A 50-11 victory by Winnipeg over Edmonton sum- med up the week: Ho-hum, But many CFL officials expect a rousing reception in Winnipeg — as happened in Ottawa two years ago and in Edmonton seven years ago. “I think the Winnipeg Grey Cup will be great,”’ says Saskatchewan's Kershaw. “+I think people have put too much emphasis on the domed stadiums. Fan enthusiasm is much more impor- tant. It speaks more to the real spirit of the Grey Cup.”” CFL commissioner Donald Crump once said he wanted the Grey Gup game alternated between Toronto and Vancouver. Toronto Argonauts owner Harry Ornest — Perhaps with help from other CFL executive — kept applying Pressure to take the game away from Winnipeg. He argued it would not produce as much revenue for the market. “There was so much concern regarding the Winnipeg game since for the league as it would at a covered stadium in a larger forward 1989 that * said Kershaw. er game was “The SkyDome game was a great event, it was a Pinnacle event — and not just because we won it,” he added, while acknowledging that as a football event i lacked “‘'m glad we had that game this year, because we couldn't afford ita couple of years ago.” CRVQGGetartCewae
