ical. article on

ti An_ analytic
why politicians get into difficul-
i ties caught my eye this evening

—it is, ‘suggests the author,
because governr-ent officials
‘attempt to bluff their way out
of the box in which ‘they find
themselves, instead of admit-

* ting fault or ignorance.

In this particular instance,
a minister of the Crown was
charged with conflict of inter-
est, and as the writer correctly
points out “The avoidance or
even the appearance of possible
conflict of interest is the key to
maintaining public faith in
government.”

“One of the chief reasons
public respect for politicians
has sunk to such a low ebb is
because governments at all
levels are sloppy in this area.”
In fact, “ ‘a surprising number of

about.”

Toalleviate this sad and all
too general situation and ‘to
remove from the public sector
those unfortunates “who know
not and know not that they.

suggest that under the direc
tion of a suitable examiner, all
present and aspiring candidates

Mra, Adele Yule has re-
ported that the United Church
in B.C. will receive $698,000
from mission funds to use in
various projects in 1977.

These funds come from the
mission and Service contribu-
tions put by church members
into the “red side” of their.
offering envelopes,

Yule is on the B.C.
committee for dispersing these
funds. She reported that the
amount to be received is
$50,000 short of requests. Some /
projects will therefore, be de-
nied funds, an agonizing deci-
sion for the committee.

She explained that $200,-
000 of this amount goes to the,
north coast, half of it to.

northern Vancouver Island.
Most of the rest goes to Indian
village churches, and to Friend
