Pulpit and Pew By Pastor DONALD W. REED Are you ready for a final visit with Uncle Mose? he old rascal doesn't + leave anyone out—not even the $ ladies: “De deacons prayed tel tdy foun’ de Lawd's will, but + w'en deacon Brown git home he < wife showed 'im wha’ dey wuz “Wrong.” Then there's the one about {Lillie Jones: “Sist’ Lillie Jones want to ng a solo at chu'ch, an’ pahson tax’er ef she could sing wid de sSperit and de un'erstandin’, {She say, ‘Well, I guess I could ef tdey voices harm’nize wid mine but I could do bettah by my- tse't. “or try this one on for size: “De buildin’ committee presented de plans fo’ de chu'ch las’ Sat'dy night but de wim- mens tore ‘em all to flindera- tions trimmin’ out a bigger place fo’ a kitchen.” I received my copy of the B.C, Automobile Association's magazine the other day. I thought it was a little ironic that it included nine full-col “Hit a ole augument: De man say de woman led ‘im into sin, an’ de woman say, ‘Well, he ‘us jes’ a-sittin’ aroun’ doin’ nuttin.” Sound like anyone you know? Quite predictably, Uncle Mose has a great deal to ‘say about hers and liquor ads. Rerhaps this little saying of Uncle Mose shoyld have been posted with each of the ads: “Peoples dat say dey can drink or let it along—seem lak dey allus lean to d'affirmative.” Or this one: é “Yon cain’ 'spect dis coun- try to’ quit actin’ childlish long as it say on de bottle.”, The wives should enjoy this one: Recovered Patients Victims of Prejudice Betty Plowman says sthat when she wanted to return sto work following treatment for ‘lymph cancer, her ‘boss told her ‘she could not come’ back be- {cause people in the office were safraid to use the same toilet and coffee cups as she did. + “went completely hyster- cal,” she said, “It tpicnevér ‘erossed my mind tHat Peopte™ gan thought cancer was contagious but half the staff had threat- ened to quit if I returned.” She said that when she had taken a leave of absence from her job as a receptionist at the Barrie, Ont., real estate firm ~ five years ago, she was told the job would be waiting for her when she was better. ‘| After five weeks in hospi- tal in Barrie and Toronto and 18 months of chemotherapy— treatment with drugs—she de- cided to return to her job but the boss gave her the bad news one day before she was to re- turn. She eventually found work as a waitress in a hotel bar, where she has been for the last 22 years, Joan St. Pierre of Peter- borough, Ont., who got cancer of the larynx in 1972 and now is considered to be cured, said she has had similar problems find- ing work. She was a legal secretary when she learned she had cancer and resigned be- cause she thought she would Rot Survive. 3 St. Pierre was “enough to work 2 years later but found no job. She later turned to a radio talk show to broadcast her problem in getting work and soon after was offered a part-time job at city hall in Peterborough. Mary Vachon, a mental health consultant . with the Clarke Institute of Psychiatry” in Toronto, said a numberof other persons who have had cancer have difficulty getting work, “Some places have policies where you have to have been free of cancer for five years before you can get your old job back,” she said. .._ - “And the cancer person is the first to go if there is a layoff because they (management) figure he may have, to quit, anyhow.” “Peoples ain’ goin’ to like dat new pahson; he talk too much ‘about whut de Lawd done fo’ dem, an’ not ernough "bout whut dey doin’ fo’ de d” : : Lawd. And here's another: “De ain' no sich thing as preachin’ de Word an’ pleasin’ de peoples at de same time.” And here's a real gem: . “Pahson say ev'ybody hol- lerin’ ‘bout ovah chu'ch ain’ got no leadership. He say whut he .worryin’ "bout, it ain’ got no follership.” The Littletown janitor has - some words about hiring and firing. Schu'ches prays fo’ de Lawd to send ‘ema Bastoh, but. w'en dey goes to git rid o’ him, dey don’ want de Lawd messin: : aroun’.” And a few pages over: “Goin’ to vote on fiahin' de pastoh nex’ Sat'dy night. Dey'll be chu’ch membahs dar dat ain’ neber seed ‘im yit.” ‘This, one I really liked: “Rev'nd , Jasper gay...de Bible don’t give no deacons no right to fiah no pastoh; but dey fiahed ‘im.” This one helps to even up the score: “Hit seem strange dat de. peoples dat. think it'd he'p so + much ef'n de pahson ‘ud. move on, cain’ nevah see how much it'd he'p ef'n dey'd move on." Finally, just a few. samples of good homespun ‘Uncle Mose’ philosophy: ., “De. reasin ouach chu'ch git nowhars is dat w'en we goes to move de piano, ev'y- body wants to carry de stool.” “W'en you sits to lookin’ ‘roun’ at de hills an’ de trees, and de nice things dat de Lawd made, it look lak dey ain’ nuttin’ wrong wid de worl’ ‘cept mens an’ wimmens.” ! church © directory ST.

Thursday Morning, July 28, 1977 Council, , Spare that Tree The legacy Dr, Victor Goresky left behind at his death in 1985 was not confined to his 28 years of service to this community and his internationally-applauded approach to psycho- therapy. In addition to’ these’ achievements, he turned a tree-lined one-acre lot he had bought in 1987 for $200 into a horticultural showcase. the lot, as well as two adjuining lots, as the site of a new complex to house downtown businesses, Despite assurances from the lot's owners that as many trees as possible ‘would .be preserved in the construction of the complex “for the sake of the aesthetics of the situation”, the extont of their aesthetic considerations will * not be revealed until they submit s development * proposal to city council in about three weeks, But two weeks ago a Golden: Arrow spokesman indicated that the design of ‘the planned building would consist mainly of several large trees, including one in the front of the lot and two in the back, without apparent plans for the remaining shrubs, trees and flowers. . Undoubtedly the lot is a valuable piece of downtown property. Although its current worth’ ‘is unknown here, the price Casban originally. paid. for the property has been estimated at more than $200,000. And construction of the ' ‘proposed’ complex. would’ provide several businesses with locations, and the shoppers with a wider variety of choices within a limited shopping area, and the city with additional tax revenue. But ‘with. its economic expansion almost assured in the very near future, the city must take a cautious and severe look at the plans for. the complex and decide whether relinquishing valuable green space at its centre‘is a low , enough price to pay for its construction.” City council must have the foresight to realize how quickly the expansion resulting from anew Lower Columbia Valley water source will change the very shape of Castlegar, and how precious park land will be when it happens.
