Work ethics viewed as destructive CALGARY (CP) — David Macdonald, a. former federal secretary of state, says it is time to throw out the Prot. estant work ethic. Macdonald told a meeting attended primarily by mem- bers of Canada’s five majo: church groups, that the trad- teva Protestant work ethic is “increasingly destructive” and new models must be found to replace “industrial- technical” models. “We are rapidly approach- ing a time when a new definition of work is neces- sary which breaks away from the liberal economic and Marxist definitions.” A former Progressive Con- servative member of Par. conference on Third World development that Pope John Paul's recent encyclical on work is one of the best ex- pressions of the significance of work.

However, Dykeman also noted a number of problems with « the property.- ‘He said the land is currently within the Agricultural Land Reserve. At the same time, the land has never been officially turned over to the historical society for use. Dykeman pointed out that in 1978, the regional district —" which leases the Property from the, province — applied to the agricul to have the hi: society, sublease ro land. Hor he said the president of th iety never signed ‘the application and it was never forwarded to the land commission. + “The land, therefore, lies within the land reserve: ee cannot be subdivided until such time that the application is ~ submitted to the land commission and a decision made by the with regard to the future use,” Dykeman said. ‘The recommendation came out of a dum to the: board from planning director.

Nevertheless, Bose proposed a solution to the problems. He said the ministry will consider issuing a free Crown grant to the regional district for the 11 acres south of the restaurant — provided the land is used only for community, recreational and cultural purposes. - Bose said | the. ministry could consider selling the urrent market value — but would firat have to “clear up the ownership.” Finally, the area north of the restaurant would be retained by the province for. future development. Bose. said the ministry has already received initial liries from the Doukhob Society, who are the asa inl venture,” is no longer part of that development. It is now rented toa d in the site for senior citizen housing. But Dykeman said that under current zoning, the society major area tourist an long range planning for the site. — including the restaurant — is viewed as cultural and educational site, and would be well within present zoning requirements. Dykeman also questioned whether the Doukhobor restaurant is a commercial venture. “At the present time the restaurant is viewed as a of the Ke Historical Society facilities, intent upon ieuisaalng preparation of cultural foods and making food available‘on a fee basis,” he said. Dykeman cautioned that the restaurant — if made commercial — would have an ‘effect of prejudicing the society's opportunity for financial aid from provincial programs, which could in turn “severely limit” the society's development opportunities. He added that senior citizen housing would “be inconsistent with the present zoning of the property” and would be “incompatible” with the village theme. As well, he said the project would not be within eas: access to commercial facilities and services.
