Af ter considering the bill, the town's finance and administration committee recommended payment of the legal expenses. D«-elta Contracet The first contract for workers at Delta Faucet of Canada Ltd. on the Base Line Road was settled on the weekend, giving union members a six per cent across the board increase in wages.

Town Holds on EldoradoStance The Town of Newcastle will wait at least two' more wveeks bIefore' 4scussing the, proposed Eldorado Nuclear Limited uranium refinery. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard suggested at a planning and development committee meetinez this week that the discussion ought to be delayed until the committee meets again in two weeks.

Approve Works'7 Budget On Monday, March 20, town councillors held a special meeting where the works department's 1978 spending was approved. The works department budget is being forewarded to the Ministry of Transportation and Communica- ions for approval at the provincial, level. THE POWER 0 F THE RESURRECTION The German theolo- gian, Emil Brunner, in his book "The Great Invitation" tells, about an Easter service held in Russia in 1940. Some 40,000 Christians came together to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Communist agitators interrupted and harassed them. For hours they were forced to listen to anti-religions propoganda. Finally, one member of the congregation asked if he could say three words to his fellow Christians. When permission was given, he stood up and spok.e the traditional Russian Easter greet- ing: "Brothers and sisters, Christ is risen! ". A cavalcade of sound rolled forth as 40,000 voices answered, "'He is risen indeed! ". He is ris en! That is the Easter message. Hearing of the agony and suffering of Jesus on the cross would be despairing and defeat- ing if the empty tomb of Easter morn did flot Expenditures in the town's public works department make up about haif the town's annual spending. To date, the works department budget is the only 1978 financial document to receive council approval. In order to obtain grants and subsidies,, municipalities must approve of public works budgets by a March 31 deadline. follow. Easter reminds us that God stili has the last word. This is true in today's world. Reset as we are with inflation, escalat- ing unemployment, rampant crime, and a thousand other problems, we must neyer lose faith that God ,,is stili with us. It is said that the great Scottish minister ,James' S. Stewart, when he was prof essor of New Testament, began one of his classes with 'this prayer; "Grant that we may flot be so obsessed with the -chaos of this world that we lose the sense of Jesus' majesty, nor that 'we be so overwhelmed by its' problems that we lose the exhilaration of the gospl ..."I That is why the churches, across this nation and around the world, will be filled with worshipping people this Sunday. They have con- fronted the challenges of life. They have endured the worst the- world can do to them. They have gained courage fromn the figure of one whose witness of victory is an empty tomb. Easter is> the celebration of that victory.1 Early one morning, 1 was driving on Highway 60 near Algonquin Park, when 1 came across a stream of water spilling up out of the centre of the road. My curiosity got the better of me, so 1 stopped and walked back to investigate. 1 discovered that it was a natural spring that had broken through the hard asphaît pavement. Pos- sibly a million cars had passed over that spot, packing down the pavement, yet the power of that water could not be contained. So it is with the resurrection. Intellect, superstition, and disbe- lief have ail sought to restrain the power of the resurrection. However, it stili reaches out to influence and inspire men and women today, even as it did 1900 years ago. Its power is beyond containment, if we only dare to receive it and allow Christ to work in and through us. Rejoire, Christ is risen!

Correction An article which appared in the March 8 issue of thepStatesman on expropriation procedures mislead- ingly quoted a lawyer for the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, Jim Murray, as saying that 80 per cent,(of the legal fees in a Land Compensa- tion Board hearing are covered by Ontario Hydro.
