Christian Corner . .. by Rev. Marg West "Christians aren't perfect only forgiven. " is a bumper sticker, we have seen many times. The Christian life is a life of learning, learning, forgiving, loving. We do get upset sometimes. Sometimes we are downright ornery, but He (God) is changing us from Glory to Glory, (from better to better(er)). Remember we are human too, and have the same problems in life that you do but with one BIG difference. difference. We as Christians have JESUS to help us through all our circumstances and situations and difficulties that arise. When we are upset and ornery it is because WE are trying to solve things our own way instead of doing doing it GOD's way. As soon as we realize that WE are trying to solve the problem and make the choice to give it to GOD, that's when we have freedom and victory over the situation. Then an only then do we have PEACE.

It was a rough budget for all of us. It had to be to control our growing growing national debt, which is a major obstacle to a better future for all Canadians. The budget measures are tough to match the enormous challenge we face. The basic problem Finance Minister Michael Wilson and the government had to deal with is the federal debt which has, been accumulating accumulating over the last 20 years, and the enormous interest it costs us. In the early 1970's the then federal government began running large annual deficits by spending more each year than was collected in taxes. In succeeding years these annual deficits began ballooning out of control. Today, the total accumulated accumulated national debt is more than $320 billion. That works out to approximately $34,000 for each household in the country. With this year's budget, government government revenues should more than cover the costs of current federal programs and services. However we still will have a deficit of $30.5 billion which must be borrowed to pay the interest on'our accumulated debt. Because of the increase in borrowing borrowing rates, it's expected the cost of paying interest on our debt this year will increase by over $6 billion, for a total of $39 billion interest charges. . This $39 billion for interest is by far the largest single cost facing the federal government. It's more than will be spent this year fdr health care, family allowances, Old Age Security, and social assistance combined! combined! With Mr. Wilson's cost control agenda, it is going to take three tough years to bring the growth of interest, the annual deficit, and the accumulated debt to manageable proportions. » We should have a balanced budget by 1994. What's at stake is nothing less than the government's and our nation's nation's capacity to continue the high standard of living and the quality of life that all Canadians want and expect. expect. The cost of debt reduction may seem high today, but the price of failure is unimagineable. Hold off lamprey plan at the Wilmot Due to the introduction of 26,000 Atlantic salmon into the Wilmot Creek a federal program to use a chemical to kill lamprey eels in the Wilmot has been postponed. The provincial government is introducing introducing the Atlantic Salmon into the creek this year and the two year old salmon are expected to enter the lake within a couple of weeks. The introduction of Lampricide TFM, which is not injurious to trout, is however being held back until the salmon clear the Wilmot stream. Amie O'Donnell, a ministry spokesman in Lindsay said they are just not taking any chances. The lampricide kills lamprey eels but does not affect any form of fish. The chemical is applied every three years when the young lampreys lampreys become parasitic and swim to the lake to attack sport fish. The Bowmanville Creek and Farewell Creek in Courtice have been treated this year. It has been stated that the Wilmot is one of the worst creeks for lamprey. lamprey. The Wilmot is. labelled a "good producer".
