‘HONORED’

I'm very pleased and honored to have won,"” said
Richards. Nights Below Station Street, his fifth novel, is
astory of life ina New Brunswick mill town. It is the first
part of a projected trilogy

“It came as a surprise because there were a lot of
banner books this year.”

Richards said he was happy the prize went to a
writer from Atlantic Canada because ‘‘it’s always good
that people don’t get too claustrophobic in_their
decisions.

Folch-Ribas, the French fiction prize winner,

joked that ‘‘as a critic, I think it’s a very good book.””

Collins said she was happy the ceremony was in
Montreal. where the brainwashing experiments
described in her book took place

She said she hopes the book helps the people who
have been fighting for compensation for the pain and
suffering they endured as a result of the experiements

Walker won the English drama prize for Nothing
Sacred, an adaptation of Ivan Turgenev’s Classic novel
Fathers and Sons.

“WALKING THE LINE’

“Anything that gives profit to the arts in these
troubled times is_great, especially theatre which is
walking the line in this country,’? Walker said

Smart, who teaches at Carleton University in Ot-
tawa, was ‘very honored as an anglophone to have
received one of the French prizes."’ She added: ‘‘It
really is a prize that should be shared by all the female
writers of Quebec,"

Allan Gotlieb, new head of the Canada Council -
ina reference to the furore over Salman Rushdie’s book
The Satanic Verses — told the audience: ‘‘Recent events
have shown us that our right to freedom of expression
cannot be taken for granted. We must defend it with
vigor.””

The drama prize for Walker is his second Governor
General’s Award. He won in 1985 for Criminals in
Love.

The English children’s literature (illustration)
award went to Kim LaFave, for his work in Amos’s

Co-ops to be discussed

By HEATHER DOUGHTY

lan MacPherson, president of the
Canadian Co-operative Association
(CCA), ‘is a featured speaker at the
Work and the Future conference Mar
ch 17-18 at Selkirk CoHege’s Castlegar
campus.

Co-operatives are made up of
businesses that are owned and con.
trolled by the'people who use their ser-
vices. Nearly 43 per cent of adult
Canadians belong to co-operatives.
Most are owrfed and controlled direc
tly-from—the-+local—communities—in;
which they operate.

MacPherson will discuss how
elements of co-ops are particularly ap-
proprite for international_-develop-
ment and the extended nature of the
international co-operative

provides financial and technical
assistance to co-operative movements
in the Third World.

In Belize, a Canadian co-operative is
assisting in the development of the in
frastructure for credit union banks.

“The buildings aren’t as fancy as
those in Canada, but they get the job
done," MacPherson said

The CCA, along with an American
group, is working on a major project in
India,

“Weare providing vegetable oil and
the:financial returns will be used to
create a Vegetable oil co-op,” says
MacPherson. “By 1995, India should
be self-sufficient in vegetable oit."*

MacPherson cautions that there are

The Canadian co-operative sector

and problems to the co
opefative approach

““It is extremely difficult work," he
says, ‘‘and we must be very sensitive to
the unconscious messages we bring to
these aid projects. Whenever an aid
project is undertaken, it has an impact
on the local social and economic struc
ture."*

For instance, when aid is received by
a family in a village, other villagers
may become resentful. Sometimes the
people receiving aid can gain advan
tages over others.

“In international work there’s never
The “perfect” situation” when -deating
with people,”’ he concedes

MacPherson will illustrate his talk
With slides. He will also discuss the
history: of the Canadian co-operative
approach to international develop:
ment which has been active since the
Second World War

Pulpit & Pew

By Father HERMAN ENGBERINK

Lent is a season of repentence, when
we are accustomed to examining our
consciences and asking forgiveness for
our sins in preparation for our
celebration of Christ's resurrection at
Easter.

We identify ourselves with the
Prodigal Son, who rejected his family
and took off to ‘*do his own thing,”
then realized what he had left behind
and, determined to go home, asked
forgiveness and begged for as much as
a hired man would have

We recognize God in the image of
the welcoming father, who doesn’t
even wait for his son to finish
apologizing before he rouses the
household to celebrate his beloved
son’s return. This wholehearted love,
this willing forgiveness and forgetting

of our wrongdoing, is what we all
desire when we repent

Itis good for us to identify ourselves
with the Prodigal Son. This Lent, this
time of repentance and forgiveness, let
us also try to identify ourselves with the
loving Father. Let us try to be as mer-
ciful to those who have wronged.us as
we want those we have wronged to be
tous.

God's forgiveness is perfect; Jesus
forgave His torturers even as they were
crucifying Him. Perhaps we aren't yet
ready to let God’s forgiveness work
through us towards all who have done
us wrong; but we can, at least, forgive
those who come to us asking
forgiveness.

Wecan, this Lent, give up the luxury
of clinging to our hurts and spurning
the peace overtures of those who have
