promise by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney who said his concern was for jobs jobs jobs The finance minister is hoping that business in Canada can replace more government work programs by expansion of their own firms It a risky venture Mr Wilson is counting on a con tinuing upsurge in our economy which is closely linked to the in the United States For Canadian firms to grow much is riding on whether interest rates can remain low By tackling Canadas deficit problem Mr Mulroney is hoping hes sent the right signals to businesses who clearly wanted measures taken to reduce the deficit Now

sinners like us this pressure remains rather constant The only way for such acceptance to survive is for forgiveness to occur and recur We all do things that are wrong We all disappoint ourselves and others We need forgiveness for acceptance to endure What is forgiveness It is not No harm done or 11 docsn t mailer That denies that anything is wrong That is condoning not forgiving forgiveness is You did wrong I was angry But I never stopped loving you I have forgiven you I am not anymore Forgiveness is acceptance in spite of wrongdoing or or wrongthlnking Christianity is the religion of forgiveness and acceptance by God Other religions lell us that con do enough good works to make God like Christianity admits that we are sinners and lhat sin is seriously wrong But God loves us in spite of our sin God the Father sent His Son lo be our Jesus suffered Gods entirely justified against our sin He satisfied that anger fot us Ik it by His pain and Tin message of Christianity Is that forgives and accepts sinners He welcomes believers as His children for eternity in spite of bin because of Christ is work in His Word to convince us that He rcilly has forgiven sins for Jesus sake It is not based on anything do That forgiveness Is Hie really powerful motive for us 10 and accept others also CLERGY COMMENT By JOHN M DKICKAMEil Immanbel Lutheran Church A recent television program dis cussed violence among It presented Ideas we have all heard before Teenagers need to be accepted but feel pressured to succeed They fear rejection and failure People of every age are in thai situation We need to be accepted by other persons But society pressures us to achieve success whatever that Is It gets complicated We begin lo fear rejection in case of and because of failure The pressure increases when personal worth Is based on achieve ment Our value even in our eyes comes to depend on some idea of performance What we to do We can work like mad to achieve success But that effort is doomed to failure eventually foreverjone There Is no satisfaction We only want more and more Or we can struggle to be free from mental and emotional slavery to success can view our worth and ihc worth of others as a reality with or without money fame beauty power or any of the elements thai spell success In the world Do not misunderstand We should work hard and do our best to be helpful in family and community But our of worth and our acceptance by others should on what we do but only on what ore human persons created by God loved by God CENTRE DE MAIN pour ETUDIANTS OPEN FOR BUSINESS Scott li

blame her leaving on that darn new Charter of Rights Our way was and is better I- or most North Americans the portion of the Second World War ended May But almost daily here there arc reminders for many Europeans the killing on and on tight to the end of Mny for ince there were death marches and shooting of Croalians maybe died the end at the hands of Titos Jugoslav Partisan Army after the British had turned them over to the There was a service here for those Croats It received little media attention For one such as myself who did not live the Second World War but kniws it only as oral and written history what was bewildering about the media emphasis of Ihc past two months wis the focus on A nine minute act of reconciliation not forgiveness between Americans and Germans most of whom aren told enough retail the war somehow becimc a criminal act HONOR AD To honor the German soldiers buried there lyes even the few SS is not to honor the political systems for they fought any more than commemorating Russian military dead is to salute the Tightness of the Communist system Nor does It mean forgetting the Holocaust with a capital the Nazi extermination of millions of Jews simply because they were Jews But faced their own holocausts too if In lesser degree The Croat ceremony is the memory of one such event The Croats were allies of Nazi Germany and paid the inevitable terrible price The list goes on Perhaps the equivalent of the population of Canada was deliberately killed over the span of six years by the various participants ll is hard to grasp POLAND LOST The victors tried the losers or some of the deaths and in my view let many of the guilty off too lightly but made no attempt to judge each other by the same set of standards rhere is irony In this for it was to preserve the frontiers of Poland and balance of power in Europe that we in the West went to war not to save Jews or fight Nazism We failed The Soviets still occupy eastern Poland which they received along with the Baltic republics and parts of Romania and Finland as their share he spoils in deal with Nazi Germany Naturally the Soviets conducted their own holocaust by class and nationality as they had earlier done In Russia Itself murders that went on well into the 1950s The mind goes numb with it all Was the partisan slaughter of the Croats Justified by the earlier Croat slaughter or Serbs Is there a moral distinction GOOD ALLY For us in North America spared those horrors there is only one real distinction However evil and degenerate the Soviet system we needed its soldiers as allies or Germany would not have been beaten Nor frankly could Russia have defeated Germany alone either The Soviets marked our joint success by goosestepping parades of their military might We marked it with and with Canadian veterans walking weaponless through the streets or deliriously happy Dutch Our way was and is better History Embarrassing salary increases My my how time flies It is difficult to believe that three full years have gone bj since our ins found a solution the embarrass business voting themselves periodic pay increases It used be a terrible ordeal for our legislators The publicity was horrific as from time lo lime they were forced to debate bills to give themselves more money There were always uncooperative conformists like Stanley who consistently voted any raises Tins of course helped lo make the others look grabby if not greedy bo the ever sensitive Trudeau eamc up with the ultimate solution icing one great climactic surge of embarrassments MPs bit the bullet in voted themselves a hefty hike and then so the process would hive to repeated established a system of peeing future increases lo the tost of living year so long MPs and sen Never or so everyone thought would Parliament be seized with these humbling debates Pierre Tntdciu who once called backbench MPs nobodies had left another legacy WHOM Hut as mentioned earlier lime does fly Here It is and we now have the results of a task force on MPs salines a task force that was established as one or the first acts of the Mulroney government And guess what The study conducted by former Liberal MP Coline Campbell and former Tory MP William Clark recommends more money for our federil legislators 11 s more complicated than that of course and there Is probably a great deal of merit in some of the suggestl Bui the overall result would be higher pay for MPs And instead or pegging future increases to the Consumer Price Index the report reeommends that the salaries be tied at three times the average earnings of a curious coincidence where I think my salary should be Bet yoirdo loo And while the present tax free which now comes on lop of a salary Would disappear it would be replaced by other benefits including a a day food and lodging allowance for MPs whose ridings are beyond commuting distance from Ottawa Meanwhile basic salary under the proposed new system would Immediately go up about There would also be major improvements in the pension plan LOW Prime Minister Mulroney has meroifullj indicated that the task force report has a low priority in his general scheme of things There was he said no urgency or reform And in view of the stale of economy with its high unemployment levels along with the fact that the previous reformation occurred only three years ago the prime minister is unquestionably on the right track At this stage It would be politically unwise to increase the income of MPs despite need or While I would be the last to suggest that MPs are overpaid neither do I know of many who quit the business because of their low Incomes As for that survey of MPs which suggests that per cent are forced to dip into savings I would like to sec similar of lions Personally 1 met only about three people who say they earn enough to live on and I vc forgotten who they arc What strikes me as more cant is fact that per cent of MPs say they don need to subsidize their incomes But this is mere quibbling over statistics The point here is that the whole messy business of pari i amenta ry salaries was supposedly settled to everyone satisfaction just three years ago And It would be politically unacceptable this stage to go through Ihe seemingly selfish process Furthermore It would be stupid Lung cancer on the increase As the saying goes Lungs arc tor Life and
