Editor: [Tom Ehrich]'s column (Faith & Values, Feb. 3) on the pitfalls of President [Bush]'s faith-based initiative raised some interesting concerns, but I take him to task for perpetuating a negative stereotype of religious people. Sloppy and casual dress frequently means sloppy thinking and behavior and a relaxed attitude toward things. Additionally, some female dress or lack of same can be very distracting. That's why more companies are beginning to reinstate dress codes. Editor: It is important to remember that we are to be Christians 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year. Our dress (Faith & Values, Feb. 3) should not affect our love for, and faithfulness to God. Living a life of faith that is apparent in our actions is more important than words or dress.

CAUGHT OVER A BARREL
THIRTY years after oil was first struck in the North Sea, the leaders of an offshore industry now afflicted by high anxiety are gathering in Aberdeen today to endorse a Grand Plan to secure the UK's future share of investment from global oil giants. As the new plan is unveiled, valedictories will be delivered for its predecessor, Crine Network, an industry think-tank whose formal machinery is to be laid to rest in January after helping to keep offshore UK competitive by reducing costs and working smarter since 1992, as an era of historically low oil prices took hold. Scotland's economy slowed but outstripped the UK by growing 0.5% in the first quarter of 1999, official figures suggest. But there has been little cheer in Aberdeen, parts of the Highlands and Islands and other pockets where building, maintaining, fixing and doing things for the North Sea oil industry have come to play an important element of any feelgood factor.

Last orders called on theme pubs
Community pubs, as the marketeers call them, are set to win more investment from major operators such as S&N, Whitbread, Bass and Allied Domecq as competition increases in urban centres. Barras, a light touch branding which basically involves putting a picture of John Barras, \"a founder of S&N Breweries\", up on the wall along with a promise to deliver good quality food and drink at affordable prices, has been delivering a mighty 31% return on investment for S&N. \"The consumer has become less willing to accept retail brands over the last few months,\" suggests Alex Oldroyd at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter in a major new report on UK breweries, pubs and restaurants.
