Res: AN ‘ISSUE OF FAITH’ United Church to make stand on racial segregation question TORONTO (CP) — The United Church of Canada, the country’s largest Protestant denomination, will be asked to declare that racial seg- regation is sinful and its theological justification is a heresy. A report by the church's division of world outreach to the 30th General Council, meeting Aug. 7 - 16 in Morden, Man., says the que- stion of apartheid, initiated and sanctioned by the white Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa, is an issue of faith that precludes neut- 1 rality. The church defines heresy as “a distortion of the truth revealed in Jesus Christ.” For this reason, the report says, the charge of heresy cannot be made lightly, bee- ause it means drawing lines within the Christian church and excluding certain mem- bers from the fellowship of faith. If the report and accom- panying resolutions are en- dorsed by the General Coun- cil, the United Chureh will be following the action of the World Alliance of Reformed Pacific Western’s new 7 Day advance Churches. Likewise, the World Coun. cil of Churches’ Assembly in Vancouver last August con- demned apartheid and as- serted that any theology which condones or supports it is heretical. Preparatory documents for the General Council say that the United Church of Canada has 728,000 resident mem- bers, although more than three million identified them- selves as United Church in the 1981 census. Saying the church has RETURN never been “pacifist”, the outreach report explains the chureh’s support for groups using violence against apart heid: “We are right to be deeply troubled about violence whe- rever it occurs.

VANCOUVER (CP) — There's something oly — slippery, if you like — about cost estimates for massive public projects like world fairs. No matter how hard one ‘tries to grab on to them they just seem to spurt away. A few months before Expo 67 opened, the man in e predicted it would make $1 billion for Canada and wouldn't cost taxpayers a cent. It did bring an estimated $500 million in extra tourist fevenues but ran an official deficit of $285 million. Nobody seems to know how much it actually coat (figures Tange from $414 million through $550: million). British Columbia, which will be hosting Expo 86 two years from now, is just beginning to discover how expen sive a world’s fair ‘can be. Unlike Expo 67, a universal world’s fair with the theme Man and His World, Expo 86 has a narrower theme, Man in Motion. And the pavilions, which will be built by Expo rather than by the participating countries, will be less elaborate than Expo 67's architectural won ders. The site on the downtown waterfront is also smaller — about one-tenth of the Montreal's 464-hectare, park covered fair setting JUGGLES FIGURES Although Expo 86 has been in the planning stages for more than four years, a detailed budget has not been released. Officials are still juggling figures. But Jim Pattison, the self-made multimillionaire compared to 56 cents per share in the same quarter last year. Earnings per share for the first six months of 1984 totalled 73 cents, com- pared to 96 cents in the same period of 1983. These results were influenced partly by the issue of an additional 3.6 million ordinary shares in June, 1983. Ordinary share earnings for the second quarter were $15.7 million, compared to $19-million in 1983. Earnings for the first six months. of 1984 totalled $28.1 million, compared to $33.2 million in the same period last year. Chairman and chief exe. Premier Bill Bennett appointed to run the fair — a man whose hard-headed business reputation includes stories of how each month at his first car lot he'd fire the sales: man with the poorest sales record — promises the total cost of the province's contribution will not exceed $806 million. Participating countries and companies will pay another $400 million to install displays in leased pavilion TORONTO (CP) — A U. S. business analysis service is warning its major subscrib- ers that acid rain could cause extensive damage to North America’s forests with “br space to bring the fair's total cost to an appr $1.2 billion. It’s quite a jump from the numbers hinted at when the fair was initially proposed in 1979. At that time then provincial secretary Hugh Curtis refused to name a price. “If I take a figure today, which would be almost out of the air, that figure will remain implanted (in the minds of the public),” Curtis said. However, Curtis mentioned two other fairs, with budgets of $23 million and $85 million respectively, and suggested Vancouver's costs would be similar. DEFICIT GROWS In 1980, Curtis, now finance minister, announced the total cost of the fair would be $180 million with an Standard and Poor's In- dustry Surveys, the pub lishing arm of the Wall Street credit rating firm, sounds the alarm in its latest analysis of the building and forest pro- ducts industry. “Evidence is mounting that acid rain presents a signi- ficant threat to our forests,” says a portion of the eight- page report. “And if acid rain begins to program and the non-re curring costs of corporate Microtel re dicator of economit activity — amounted to only 4,816 in the second quarter, bring the year-to-date increase to 12,272 lines. This is below the 18, 848 lines added in the first side, operating revenues kill an appreciable number of trees on the millions of acres of land owned by the forest products companies, the com- panies’ stock prices will die faster than the trees,” it says. The report cites events in West Germany, where the extent of damage to the country’s forests, attributed to acid rain, soared with last year from eight per cent in 1982. “Early evidence of similar destruction is now wide- spread in the eastern U.S. and in the eastern provinces ported sales of $37.8-million for the second quarter, com- pared to $51.3-million for the ‘game quarter last year. Total sales for the first half of 1984 were $65-million, compared to $97.5 million for the same adian telecommunications market is a principal reason for this sales decline,” Mac. Farlane said, “although im provements are expected ov er the balance of the year.” Costs and expenses were also down in the first six months, from $95.2-million in Rain could kill trees of Canada,” the report says. “The West German ex perience indicates that dam age’ may occur much more swiftly than man can make progress against the sources of pollution.” However, the report says, “at the present time, most forest products companies see the spruce budworm as a much more immediate threat to the health of their forests.” It notes they are reluctant to “publicly address the acid rain issue because some of their own paper mills con tribute to the pollution pro- blem.” mary factors in lowering expenses,” he said. ‘elephone Office Hours 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday Even when you’re out of sight, you won’t be out of reach.

By the end of 1981 the anticipated deficit had mushroomed to $75 million. Then this April the bomb dropped. Pattison an nounced the cost had grown to $806 million and the expected deficit was $180 million. A few weeks later he scuttled some high profile components of the fair, saying he'd discovered there wasn't enoughmoney in the budget for them. The provincial government continues to stick by its promise that regardless of the cost of the fair or the size of the deficit, taxpayers will not pick up the tab. The fair will be paid for, promises the free-enterprise administration of British Columbia's Social Credit gov ernment, with revenue from the province's share of Lotto 6-49. ESTIMATES MILLIONS Jess Ketchum, Expo's vice-president of communi cations, will not say what revenue the fair expects to collect from admissions (although he said Expo is doing its revenue budgeting on a conservative estimate of 15 million visits which at a proposed admission price of $20 for adults would provide at best $300 million in revenue) or from leasing buildings to participants. “The shortfall between our revenue and expendi. tures will be covered by the Lotto 6-49 which was struc- tured for Expo 86,” said Ketchum. “The exposition will be no direct cost or burden to the taxpayer. The government is very firm ort that position.” So far Lotto 6-49 is officially committed only to prov- iding a total of $100 million to Expo by the end of fiseal 1986-87, said Barry Kelsey, an assistant deputy in the provincial secretary's office However, even a modest deficit of $200,000 would take almost 10 full years of Lotto 6-49 revenue to pay off.
