ROY HUBBEARD Pentecostal Tabernacle Castlegar The subject on everyone's lips these days seems to be the uncertain economy. The shutdown of milis and busi- nesses has everyone con- cerned. The bankruptcy of once prosperous companies strikes fear in many hearts and sheer panic in others. While I do not claim to have all the answers to all of these problems, I would like to offer some suggestions from God’s Word that can help us. These suggestions are not for the lazy or dis- honest. God tells the lazy to go to the ant and consider how by her work she pro- vides for herself in Proverbs 6. In Proverbs 21:6 we read that anything gained by lay- ing is an emptiness htat leads to death, However, in these. hard times the honest, diligent in- dividual may need some help. First, do not borrow. At- tempt to pay up all outstand- ing debts and if you cannot handle your total credit card debt at the end of each month, then don’t use credit cards, Proverbs 22:7 warns, “the borrower is servant to the lender.” Using cash only is the best way. Then, avoid purchasing anything that is really not necessary. Pro- verbs 15:16 and 17 states, “Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil. Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than a fattened calf with hatred.” ' Also, Proverbs 21:17 warns, “He who loves plea- sure will become poor; who- ever loves wine and oil will never be rich.” If you do not actually need it, do not buy it! Next, do not waste what you have. Learn to use every- thing to its full potential or to its full use. That bone that you normally throw out may be used for a soup-bone and so on, In Luke 16, Jesus told a manager who was fired from his job because he was wasteful. Then, be sure you have committed your life to Jesus Christ and are dili- gently following Him. Psalm 87:3 says, “trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thous dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.” That is why the 28rd Psalm starts out, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” If you are a sheep of His pasture, then He will meet your needs and you will not, ‘suffer “want” or need. Phil- ippians 4:19 promises to God's people that “my God shall supply all your need, according to his: riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Notice that it does not say “desires” but “needs” and also, that this was said be- cause the Philippians had been generous in giving to the work of God done by Paul. Giving to God’s work is a must if you expect to be blessed in return. God prom- ised in Malachi 3:10, “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me * in this, says the Lord Al- mighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.” The reason is that we must realize that our source of supply is God. He may use the company we work for or even some other unexpected means of delivery to supply our needs but when you trust Him, He does not fail if you are doing your part. Proverbs 19:17 also tells us, “He that hath pity on the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again." You are never in God’s debt. He pays His debts promptly, Now, if you can work and work is available, God ex- pects you to do it. He will not do your work that He pro- vides for you. .° 1 Tim. 5:8 states, “If any Asthma?

Informal meeting aids solo parents The Solo Parents Group of Castlegar had their first in- formal meeting March 31 at the home of one of the mem- bers. It was a very relaxing, open discussion on some of the problems single parents face. The meeting also dis- cussed different group out- ings for the summer such as picnics. Everyone in. atten- dance is very enthusiastic about meeting twice a month. The regular monthly meet- ing was held April 21, at the Hobbit Hill Day Care Centre. ‘The meeting started out with a film entitléd, “By the Skin of Our Teeth.” The film dealt with social, economical, and Hazel Devlin, 58 dies in Edmonton Hazel Devlin, 58, passed’ away in Edmonton April 23 after a lengthy illness.

A discussion was held after the film. The group was told by Sandy Reilly, co-ordinator for the Castlegar Volunteer Ex- change, that there would be a STEP Program offered by the exchange this summer. The STEP Program deals with effective parenting and is opened to anyone inter- ested. We were also informed of the Federated Anti-Poverty Group. This group has been formed to help people with low incomes and welfare. recipients with any problems they encounter. It will mainly inform people of their rights as individuals.

Zahynacz said the ministry has already acquired some of the necessary property for the project and is in the process of acquiring more land. The new interchange will mean adding another lane to the present overpass, which will then loop and feed traffic ¥ into the north end. The new configuration will mean that travellers heading to Castlegar's north end from Grand Forks willno longer * have to take‘ the’ ‘current: turnoff that puts them on , Columbia Ave., where they must ‘wait for a-left turn signal and then cross over. Zahynacz said the turnoff will still be used by travellers heading to the. city’s south end and Trail. -- Elsewhere, Zahynacz said -the Thinistry also-agreed to” undertake a preliminary de- sign for a pedestrian under- pass on Highway 3 at Crest: view Crescent. He said the sinddor pass would go in near Ron's Motel and — if given the go-ahead — would be seven feet in di- ameter. The ministry has re- jected previous requests for an underpass, which two years ago was estimated at $100,060. Finally, the ministry also agreed to look at extending $7th Street in the south end. so it ties in with Highway 3 by Hislop's Trailer Park.

However, Talarico said, “A 14 per cent increase is re- quired to maintain the cur- rent level of service and pro- vide salary increases to con- form with government pol- fey.” The hospital employs 135 full and part-time workers.

The figures on the Shef- field casualties were given by government sources in Lon- don, where Prime Minister. Margaret Thatcher called an emergency cabinet session. Argentina, meanwhile, continued the - search for about 360 crew members missing from the’ General toward the plan. “A vital ingredient of the ideas of which we are work- ing is an early ceasefire and the prompt withdrawal of Argentine forces (from the Falklands),” Pym said. He provided no. details. “The military losses which have now occurred on both sides in this unhappy conflict emphasize all the more the urgent need to find a diplo- matic solution,” he added.

The ‘Argentine’ govern- ment was silent about the Shetti eld, although news of the attack was broadcast by Buenos Aires radio stations quoting foreign news report. ‘The joint chiefs of staff said in a communique early today that an “air incursion” against the British task force was carried out “with results that still are not known.” ATTACK REPORTED ” The ‘said the Curtis VANCOUVER (CP) — Civ- ilian residents of the Falk- land Islands "have fled. the capital of Stanley en masse, says the father of a former B.C. man still living there.

By CasNews Staif ‘The separatist Western Canada Concept party held its first Castlegar meeting Sunday afternoon — but if the turnout is any indication, the party hasn't gained much of a toehold in the West Kootenay. - . Less than 25 people — including local organizers — turned out at the D-Bar-D-in Ootischenia to ‘héar Eric Reilly and Fred Clark, two B.C. WCC organizers. The pair, who were invited to speak in Castlegar by Raspberry resident Ray McLean, spent most of their time railing against the federal Liberal government and four western. provincial. governments, and gave only sketchy details of the party's election platform. Reilly, a former president of the B.C. chapter of the WestFed Association before it aligned itself with the WCC, said, “It’s time to get back to the free enterprise system and democracy.” Reilly admitted the WCC spends much of its time bashing the federal Liberals, but added “I guess we are , federal bashers because we have to tell the truth.’ He said that what he and Clark had to tell the meeting true and not a -# eee not politicians, so we don't have to fabricate.” He then went on to blast the federal Liberals, using wee free (‘) q FRED CLARK” partial and He said Canadians have lost their freedoms — freedoms they enjoyed prior to Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's rise to the Liberal leadership in 1968. Using a partial quotation from federal Liberal Jean-Luc Pepin, Reilly tried to show the-meeting how Trudeau, along with Mare Lalonde, Jean Chretien, Gerard Pelletier and Jean d were in fact along the same lines as the FLQ in Quebec. — 3 He said Trudeau went into politics for only one purpose — “to mold Canada to his way of thinking.” “He set out to change this country ... he told us where he is going and we didn’t believe him,” Reilly said. He charged that under Trudeau, Canada’s national debt has increased from just $6 billion in 1968 to $140 billion this year. He explained that much of that national , debt has gone into “C: ' Poor turnout for separatist meeting countries. He said Trudeau sent $100 million to Algeria to build a monument to that country’s revolution. He listed another $200 million gift to Trinidad-Tobago to build.a railway, yet said Canada’s railway system is in dire needs of improvements. Reilly went on to point out that Peru was also given $100 million to develop its copper mines — yet again he said mines in Canada are “out of commission.” He blasted the provincial premiers for failing to help keep the money in Western Canada. “Our premiers haven't fought for us — they're just as much to blame as-Trudeau and the Liberal party.” “He's (Trudeau) giving our money away... We have to keep the money in this country. It’s our money.” He charged that the money going out of the country andt it the industry, including $5 billion to Petro pede to drill for oil in Third V'orld countries. Reilly said Canada shouldn't be paying $5 billion to drill in other countries when oil rigs and drilling operations in Canada need the work, “Kes 1 hi _ he said. id we've got t od about it,” He told the meeting the government is also sending money out of the country to aid Third World communist and central Canada — especially Quebec — could create many more jobs in Western Canada.
