Finnish law reduces deaths tragic that so many people have to senselessly die before this country’s government decides to institute new laws or update old ones. One example of this is a European traffic law that has cut down road deaths significantly. Since 1972, Finnish law has required drivers to use their headlights during the daytime in winter months. In 1982, this policy was instituted throughout the year. As a result, from 1968 to 1974, daytime multiple collisions dropped by 27 per cent.

Shroeder shows courage Hopefully the year 1985 will bring new and fulfilled promises to William Schroeder, one strong person who really deserves it the second-ever recipient of an artificial heart. Schroeder has apparently recovered from a sudden stroke physically, but psychologically, he is far from recovered. “A patient’s own inner strength, his own determination, is the most important medicine in his getting better,” Dr. Allan Lansing, director of the Humana Heart Institute, said. Schroeder, 52, a native of Jasper, Indiana, has suffered enough pain and frustration through this ordeal, but he knew before the operation how much he would be putting himself through. Prior to his stroke, Schroeder was making incredible progress. Doctors were even saying that he could go home in a couple of weeks. The stroke, however, nullified those plans. Mr. Schroeder may be reacting to the realization of “the box sitting beside him, the mechanical heart, the uncertainties about the future, the feeling of the heart beating inside his chest, and then you add a stroke on top of it,” Dr. Lansing said. However, on a much positive note, Lansing said he would only become concerned if “over the next two or three days we can’t shake him out of this and get him responding. “I believe he will recover with a little prodding, with a little help and with a little support from his family.” The man already has shown enough courage to last others a

Should he have stayed longer and faced the charges? Well, all arguing aside, he will not be facing any assault charges anywhere, in Prague nor in Canada. in jail that

“No, I’m free as of now. As of 10 o’clock this morning, I’m free,” Chatlain said on Dec. 15. Czechoslovakian authorities dropped the charges on Dec. 13 after an investigation by both Canadian and Czechoslovakian authorities. The Czech authorities finally ordered Chatlain deported. If he had eventually gone to trial to face the charges, Chatlain could have received a five-year prison sentence if he was found guilty. A financial settlement also helped secure Chatlain’s release, but no details were announced. It is known that a Nanaimo newspaper helped Chatlain by raising $3,000 and Canadian sympathy and news reports also helped in his release, Canadian embassy First Secretary Harold Balloch said. So it appears the sympathy of Canadians helped in his release. What about the elderly Czechoslovakian usher who was punched in the face? The man lost an eye, for heaven’s sake. Apparently, the assault charges were dropped because Chatlain was impaired and that he “intended no malice” against the usher, Pavel Sykora, Canadian embassy officials said. So he was impaired as well? Isn’t that just great! Here we have an impaired Canadian citizen punching out an elderly Czechoslovakian usher who loses an eye and the culprit receives no penalty other than a

Christmas 1 984 came as good news to retailers, as many of the giants such as Zellers, K-Mart, and Sears experienced record sales. Sales were so good that even Santa Claus had a smile on his face. But in this picture he looks worried. However this changed as a majority of people left their Christmas shopping until the last minute.
Everyone awaited Christmas morning, even the cat was awaiting when he may get the mouse, seen above, hanging from

1984 provided many memories by Andy Bader
& John Robertson
My most memorable moment in sports in 1984? Well, after a tough decision, the semi-final game in the Canada Cup tournament which pitted the swift, aggressive and eager Canadians against those dirty, rotten commies. The date Thursday, Sept. 13 should go down in some book somwhere as one of the greatest games in hockey history. It should anyway, but it probably won’t. The third ever Canada Cup hockey tournament was, judging by all the experts, a failure. Sure, Canada won the championship against a surprisingly tough Swedish team, but that was anti-climactic. The real game was played that autumn day in Calgary. Who can ever forget that play which set up the winning goal in overtime? Paul Coffey standing alone in front of goaltender Pete Peeters against a pair of on-rushing Soviets. A two-on-one. One of the toughest plays a defenceman has to make. Should I take the one with the puck? The

to perfection. The sudden swipe of his stick and the interception of the pass intended for a clear Soviet which, if made, could have won the game for the Russians. That alone would have been a dazzling play. But Coffey was far from through. After stealing the puck cleanly and heading up ice to direct the offensive play, Coffey neatly shot the puck into the corner of the Soviet end. Why is that so neat? Well, he knew a man named John Tonelli was there, and on this night, or in this tournament for that matter, no one would outwork John Tonelli and live to tell about it. Tonelli forechecked along the boards for what seemingly was an eternity. Finally, on the verge of exhaustion, Tonelli passed the puck back to the unsung hero, Mr. Coffey. His slapshot deflected off the eventual hero, Mike Bossy, who had parked himself to the side of Russian goalie Vladimir Myshkin. Myshkin did not even flinch. Bossy had scored the goal which had made Canada the 3-2 overtime winner of one of the greatest games in history. When the entire country can become so excited and enthralled over a hockey game which saw us playing them, it is indeed memorable. Maybe if the us’s and the them’s could get together over things other than a hockey game, the entire world would see it as memorable as

in 1896.
The boxing competition at Los Angeles was without thrills for the most part, until Evander Holyfield of the United States met Kevin Barry of New Zealand in a light heavyweight semifinal. In the previous semifinal, a Yugoslav named Anton Josipovic had soundly defeated an Algerian and prepared to meet the winner of the Holyfield-Barry match for the gold medal. It would never happen. Holyfield dominated Barry in the opening round, easily crude New Zealander’s awkward attack. Barry was warned repeatedly for various fouls and the American looked like a certain winner. Then it came. During a clinch, the Yugoslav referee ordered^ break, but not quick enough to prevent Holyfield from landing a crushing left hook which felled Barry. The referee counted out Barry and then disqualified Holyfield for hitting on the break. Holyfield was shocked. This was not unprecedented. In Mexico City in 1968, in the featherweight final, another U.S boxer named Albert Robinson was similarly disqualified. But what made this different was that since Barry was technically knocked out, he wouldn’t be allowed to participate against Josipovic in the final. Josipovic would win the gold medal stifling the
