Drivers go back to school Local ambulance drivers are going to school on weekends to upgrade their skills Randy Woolley is in Terrace from Kamloops and is running weekend classes for the nine ambulance personnel in this area. Woolley sald the course involved 80 hours, OF that time, half will be spent on driving and half on the at- tendant program. The al- tendant program involves such aspects as the handling and care of patients. Also part of this half of the course are obstetrics, the treatment of burns and general first aid. One part of the driving segment of the course has the drivers riding as patients in the ambulance to give them the feeling of motion as experienced by their passengers, The course, Woolley said, is the basic ambulance course, It runs over four weekends. It is one step above, and more extensive than, the industrial first aid course, This course, which is being held at the fire hall, isrun by Emergency Health Services, which operates the am- bulance services in the province.

The average newspaper crossword contains about 150 - ues. Verreault and Lacroix's 2 is five feet square an they figure it would take one or two months to solve it. The pair, both 25, are vernment clerks and each as been solving one crossword puzzle a day for the last six years. In creating the giant puzzle they hoped to set the fecord for the world's largest crossword. But they were edged out by a Belgian who already had produced a purzle with mofé than 7,000 entries _ At present, Verreault and Lacroix are searching for a publisher who will print their creation in poster form.

Communist Party chief Supervising the opening up of the ‘virgin lands"’ of Kazakhstan from 1954-56, Although it has been widely assumed that the Kremlin chief, now both president and party general secretary, had experienced heart preblems, this was the first time it had been officially confirmed. Brezhney, who has looked tired and drawn on his most recent public appearances, including this week's Red Square revolution anniversary parade, recalls that he was constantly on the Move seeking to ensure a good grain harvest in Kazakhstan's newly cultivated lands, sleeping only fitfully and eating wherever he could. “Then once, in Tselinograd (main town of the area), 1 suddenly felt ill,” he writes. ‘When Icame round, I was ona stretcher, “Already once before that T had been taken from zemipalatinsa to Alma‘Ata (the Kazakh capital) with a mild heart attack. “I had to lay up at home, fighting off the doctors who wanted to shut me away in hospital. T used to tell them jok- "ingly: ‘If I let you take me, I'll end up worse.’ “The main thing was there was no time to be ill, The virgin lands had piled 4up a lot of new work and problems—all difficult, some complicated and all demanding immediate attention.” The Brezhnev account, his third volume of memoirs which have earlier covered his war- time experiences and his role in rebuilding Ukrainian industry after 1945, first appeared on Tuesday in the literary monthly Novy Mir (New Aorld). The account gave no in- dication whether Hrezhnev had suffered heart problems in recent years, although there has been frequent foreign speculalion that his health has not been good. In July 1968 he suffered what was believed at the time to be a heart attack during heated discussions with then Prague leader Alexander Dubcek at the Czechoslovak-Soviet border town of Cierna- Nad-Tisou.

Ray was arrested there in June 1968 and later was returned to Memphis where he pleaded guilty to killing King. He was sen: tenced lo 99 years in prison. Ray iaier recanted the confession and repeated his claims of innocence in testimony to the committee last August. Describing his jail talks with Ray, Eist told com- mittee investigators, ‘‘There isn't any doubt from the conversation that he told me that he was admitting to me that he had done the mur- der." “He was telling methat for him to have shot a black man of note in certain parts of America would make him into a national hero." Ray's lawyer, Mark Lane, has attacked Eist’s credibility and denounced him ag corrupt and “a disgrace to the England police force.” Ejist was charged in 1976 with two counts of con- spiracy in connection with jewel robberles and was found innocent. He retired in 1976 at the rank of detective chief in- specter after 20 years on the Scotland Yard force. mee
