PATIENCE
By GEORGE JAMES

Calvary Baptist Church

Do you ever pray for pati-
ence?

There is only one way to
rise above mediocrity. That's
by practice. Nothing worth-
while comes easily. Finesse is
in dedication to the cause.
Give up trying and all is lost.
Too easily we are over-
whelmed by adverse condi-
tions. God though deals with
us differently. He lines us up
with a circumstance that kills
off the alternatives and
makes it impossible to quit.

For instance, pray for
patience and patient you will
have to be. Like it or not.
Mostly we don't like it but
we've made our bed and have
to sleep in it. The Bible ad-
monishes us to be content in
whatsoever state we find
ourselves. Often when the
pattern of life takes a turn for
ithe worse we cry out, “Lord
give me patience in this
trying time.”

Look out. God is about to
answer your prayer.

He does it by putting us
through an apprenticeship in
the art of calm endurance.
We often hope God wi
remove the frustration but
that would not be making us
more patient of course, so
God says, “You want pati-
ence? So here is something to
practice on.”

Perhaps we then fly off the
handle. We would never
learn to play the piano by
skipping our practice hour.

Mostly it takes years to

10 and 11. It was decided,
that craftspeople from the
Kootenay/Boundary region
should be invited to par-
ticipate in order for the dele-
gates to be introduced to
Kootenay craft. Any crafts-
people wishing to enter
pieces may contact Ingeborg
Thor-Larsen, 365-5526 for
further information. Dead-
line for submitting fashions
(handpainted silk, quilting,
leather, jewellery, knitting,
weaving, ete.) is April 26.

Ruby Marsh and Darleen
McDowell have just finished
the annual weaving course,
teaching five new weavers
the intricacies of warping,
color choices and design. This
instruction is offered by the
guild as another service to
prospective weavers in order
to keep the old crafts of
weaving and spinning alive in
this area.

The Tacoma booth display
is moving along very well.
Guild members have divided
into groups of four and five to
study techniques and to
share experiences with less
accomplished members.
Areas being covered are
interior design items.

The date for the annual
fashion show and exhibition
has, already, been set. It will
take place Nov. 23.

The Guild's April meeting
is on the 17th and visitors are
most welcome. The May
meeting is a potluck dinner.

CANADIAN GIRL

By PARIL LINDGREN
Ottawa Citizen

OTTAWA (CP) — An eight-year-old Ottawa girl is
the central figure in an international custody dispute that
has the governments of Canada and Tunisia at
diplomatic standoff. .

Nearly three years after Tina Mallette was abducted
from Ottawa by her father and taken to his native
Tunisia, neither the Canadian police nor politicians of any
stripe have been able to get the child back for her
desperate mother.

“All the doors are shut. What do'they expect me to
do, forget that I had a child?” says Evilyn Mallette.

Warrants for the arrest of the father on charges of
abduction have been issued by Canadian authorities, but
Philippe Assaibi has remained untouched in Tunisia
because the two countries do not have an extradition
treaty.

Don Boudria, Liberal MP for Glengarry-Prescott-
Russell, has written to members of the Tunisian
government at least three times appealing for assistance.
The government has done nothing and “refuses to hear
any common sense,” says Boudria.

“I'm not really blaming Canadian authorities in this.
I'm blaming the government of Tunisia for not doing
anything.”

In January, External Affairs Minister Joe Clark told
Boudria in a letter that Canadian Embassy officials in
Tunisia have found “the authorities (there) are not
disposed to be of assistance. They consider Tina to be a
citizen of the country and they would not envisage the
deportation of either Philippe Assabi or Tina.

RECEIVES NO REPLY
The Tunisian ambassador in Ottawa, Rafik Said, said
he has written to his government asking them “to study
the question,” but has not received a reply.
“(The mother) wants to have her child back and I

Abducted child in Tunisia

understand that, but (the father) wants the child also and
I understand that too.”

Maik an in a provi government
licensing bureau, was never married to Assaibi, but she
had custody of the child since birth. She said Assaibi
virtually ignored the child's existence until about a year
before the abduction when he decided he wanted to see
her

regularly. 3

It was during one of those visits, on Aug. 13, 1982,
that Tina was abducted and never returned. She was
gone eight months before Mallette received any word of
her whereabouts.

During that time, the mother and her family
searched the streets of Ottawa-Hull hoping for a glimpse
of the child, plastering stores with picture posters
and sending letters with pictures attached to every
school in Ontario and many in Quebec.

In February 1984, 18 months after the child
disappeared, Mallette spoke to her daughter on the
telephone. The two have spoken a number of times since,
but that's the closest Mallette has been able to get.

CAN'T DO ANYTHING

“What it seems to boil down to is that anybody can
take your child away, out of the country, and there's
nothing that can be done.”

While embassy officials argue and her parents
continue their international tug-of-war, Tina has been
visited by social workers with the International Social
Services, the international branch of the Children's Aid
Society.

A social worker’s report last November described
Tina as withdrawn, stressed, anxious and failing in
school.

She “cries silently,” the report says.

And she says “she can't listen to her teacher in class
because she is always thinking about her mother.

“She would like to be with her mother, but doesn’t
want to lose her father.”
