Students FEAR THOU NOT We are told that when Luther was at the point of utter despair he would say to Melanchton, “Come, Philipp, let us sing the 46 Psalm.” This psalm is full of courage. It has in it a remedy for fear. “There is something about seeing God that casts out fear. To look in His face, to see the reassuring serenity of His countenance, gives us courage and confidence; it banishes fear from the life.” “The story is told of a ship being tossed about by a great storm.

This caused the man to go back and say to the other passengers, ‘All is well, I saw the face of the pilot, and he smiled.’ " : “One day when Jesus was in a ship sound asleep, a storm arose. The disciples awakened Him and 1. ‘Master, carest thou not that we perish? And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm’ (Mark 4:38, 89). “He turned to them and said, ‘Why are ye so fearful?” (verse 40). This question caused a hush to fall upon them. They needed to learn the lesson of trust, of not being fearful in His presence. Of Him we read, ‘When Jesus was awakened to meet the storm, He was in perfect peace. There was no trace of fear in word or look, for no fear was in His heart.’ " — The Desire of Ages, p. 336. “The lesson we are to learn from this experience is voiced in these words, ‘As Jesus rested by faith in the Father's care, so we are to rest in the care of our Savior. If the disciples had trusted in Him, they would have been - kept in peace. Their fear in the time of dancer revealed their unbelief. In their efforts to save themselves, they for- got Jesus; and it was only when, in despair of self- dependence, they turned to Him that He could give them help.’ " — Ibid. er. chandfeing program (2) advertising and markoting services (3 training corm vs } Panelal ‘and management service 3 systems and operational procedures.

CASTLEGAR, BRITISH COLUMBIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1981 +h 3 Sections (A, B & C) B.C.-fed Energy accord is close VANCOUVER (CP) — Federal Energy Minister Marc Lalonde and B.C. En- ergy Minister Bob McClel- land announced Tuesday they have reached a position on an energy-pricing agree- ments and will n.* take it.to their respective govern- ments. Neither minister would use the word “agreement” to describe whatever they have hammered out after two brief sessions, but both indicated they had agreed on a position and that negotiations had concluded. “We have completed our- discussions, and will be re- porting to. the first minis- ters,” McClelland said follow- ing Tuesday's surprise meet- ing. “We do have a position to take. to take, to our first ministers.” Lalonde said he was re- turning to Ottawa today, fol- lowing a stopover in Toronto. “As Mr. McClelland has said, we have completed our discussions —we will report to our first ministers and we'll have to wait and see,” Lalonde said. : “You'll have to see how things ‘develop. in‘the next while. Lalonde and McClelland: met privately for two hours Tuesday after Lalonde can- celled engagements .in.Ham-. ilton and London, Ont., to fly back to Vancouver. The two ministers had met briefly Monday and then turned negotiations over to their staffs. “Our officials advanced their work on a number of issues and I felt it was suf- ficient for me to return to Vancouver,” Lalonde said. - Tuesday's meeting lasted about 90 minutes, versus 75 minutes for the first session between the two ministers. Prime Minister Trudeau and B.C. Premier Bill Ben- nett will have an opportunity to discuss their energy min- siters’ negotiations face-to- face Thursday at a meeting scheduled to discuss the agenda and date of an up- coming first ministers meet- ing.

British Columbia has main- tained the excise tax on do- mestic sales by B.C. Hydro, which could cost the province up to $100 million in lost rev- enues a year, is illegal be- cause the federal govern- ment has no right to tax a provincial Crown corpor- ation. Lalonde and McClelland are still scheduled to meet again Oct. 3. Pp If the Liberal government goes through with its plans, post-secondary education will bear the brunt of the cuts and college and university stu- dents will suffer, she warned. MacDonald, who served as minister of external affairs during the shortlived ‘P-C government in 1979 and now is a member of Joe Clark's shadow cabinet, made her remarks during a_ public forum at Selkirk's Castlegar campus. She was in the area. as part of a speaking tour. MacDonald told her audi-: ence of about 50 people that federal cabinet documents leaked last week’ show the government plans to cut its payments to the provinces by $11 billion during the next five years: Those shared cost programs include health, hos- pitals, and post: dary than cut equalization pay- ments to the provinces. But there is no one at the federal level to defend cuts in education funding, and she predicted that because thé provinces always say edu- cation is their responsibility, the federal government will say the provinces can pay the costs. a : If that happens, all aspects of post-secondary education will decline, except. for tui- tion fees, which will climb, she warned. t She added that she does not know all the effects, but in her Ontario riding, Queens University would like $30 million, atid a number of new colleges and universities in Ontario would be forced to close. : She compared the prop- osed cuts to the federal gov- ernment’s “taking a wrecking ball to institutes of higher learning,” at a time when there is a need for the grad- uates. : A seven-member Parlia- mentary task force was struck to review the shared h She is sure the provincial finance ministers will object strongly to the planned cuts, but that will not be enough to persuade the Liberal govern- ment not.to act unilateraly, as it has in the past. / She concluded by urging the people in the audience to follow the upcoming meet- ings, and to: organize with - other. colleges and .univer- sities to make sure: their opinions are heard by the, federal government. If they do that, others will support them, MacDonald told them. are con: ‘ly rising, ‘there won't: be. enough money to pay for them. They also feel they are wagering all ill-matched bat- tle with the provincial gov- ernment over the power to levy and spend the $1.2 billion local government's re- : ceive from residents.

MacDonald-was questiqned after her speech about why the task force she had men- tioned had not had any stu- dent representation, would she press for the release of the task force's final report, and why, if the P-C govern- ment had wanted to trim the federal deficit; P-C Members ‘ cost p' and alth a majority of the members were Liberal MPs, it has strongly disagreed with the government proposals, she said.

Justice Jean that in light of existing Chretien, whose name was on the leaked document, denied Tuesday that the document is government policy. Finance Minister Allan MacEachen was spoken of cuts of about $1.5 billion. MacDonald quoted federal Health and Welfare Minister Monique Begin as saying cuts cannot be made in her area, and she said many Liberal MPs representing ridings in depressed areas would sooner cut their own throats in the provinces, it is important that the level of federal fund- ing continue, she told the forum. The formula for the cost sharing programs will be the subject of a series of federal- provincial negotiating meet- ings during the next year, and MacDonald believes they will be even more bitter than previous attempts to work out energy agreements and concensus on the Constitu- tion. of F now are argu- ing against the proposed spending cuts?

He assumes it will now be a matter of weeks before there ‘ministry the city always wants to touch base with, said city administrator Bill Krug.

Other points include turn- ing over unused CPR railway right-of-ways to the city, so it can stop paying high leases for roads encroaching on the land, and an update on the province's proposed Planning Act. — highways and transpor- tation —the issues include modifying and maintaining the Castlegar highway inter- into ministry policy on park development, pointing out what Castlegar would like to see and what it needs, Krug said.

Regional library building Board approves plans The Castlegar Library board approved in principle the working drawings for the proposed new Castlegar Re- gional Library. at its: regular board meeting Monday night. The site chosen is the corner of Ninth Street and Columbia Avenue, opposite the RCMP Station and adja- cent to the old arena. Other sites were considered by the board, in particular the site occupied by the forestry de- partment and the Commun- ity Complex. The forestry site was re- jected because no firm date could be given on its trans- ference from provincial to city authority. It was felt ded tes regional library is on the ex- treme edge of the old.arena location.
