Mulroney, who has been credited with a major role in sewing up a potential rift be- tween Britain and her former colonies on how to speed up the dismantling of apartheid, was cheerful and relaxed as _ he faced Canadian reporters on the final day of the meet- ing. The 41 leaders agreed Sunday to a compromise on -what measures the Common- wealth should use to prod Pretoria into with leaders of the black ma- jority in South Africa on a peaceful transition to major- ity rule. “I can only take consid- Legebokoft funeral begins Paul Lawrence Legebokoff of Penticton passed away Oct. 19 at Invermere at the age of 28 years. He was born Jan. 4, 1957 at Creston and moved to Kres- tova with his parents in 1959. He grew. up and attended schools in Crescent Valley. Mr. Legebokoff married Sara Demoskoff on July 26, 1975 at Passmore. In 1980 the family moved to negotiations that our common purpose will be clearly understood,” Mulroney told reporters. Mulroney also said that at his suggestion. the Common- wealth leaders are trying to enlist former Liberal prime minister Pierre’ Trudeau to become part of a committee of eminent statesmen which will be ‘asked to get negoti- ations started between the South African government and the black opposition movements. Trudeau, contacted in Montreal, would not com- ment on whether he has been asked to join the committee. “I don't talk to the press,” he said. Later Tuesday, Mulroney was ta head for New.

Earlier, Chabot had said that “one of the conditions (of the government's scholarship) was that any flight training be done at a flight school in B.C.” “I have indicated to (Fonyo’s agent, Wanda Carter) what the cond- itions were . . . and that any changes would have to have approval from the le for Fonyo will get funding lottery funds (Chabot),” he said earlier.

She said Tuesday she has asked for a meeting with Chabot. But she said if B.C. gov- ernment funding falls through, a Calgary founda- tion might pay for the two- year course. “He will be taking some helicopter classes (at Cal- gary's Mt.

LOUIS (AP) — Kansas City manager Dick Howser had said there was no such thing as And he was on first in the fifth inning when White, d cleanup hitter, hit a monster home the Royals’ desi; and Whitey Herzog, his St. Louis counterpart, agrees. “Not in the World Series, anyway,” said Herzog. “It doesn't last that long.” But if momentum does exist in this year's World Series, it may be swinging toward Kansas City Royals. “I said momentum ean be stopped by good pitching and that’s what happened tonight,” Howser said Tuesday night after Bret Saberhagen stalled St. Louis 6-1 with a six-hit, eight-strikeout performance. It was Kansas City's “first victory after two weekend losses at home. “The players know we can have a bad streak but we've got good people to run out to the mound,” Howser said. Tonight, Howser sends Bud Black, 10-15, against the Cardinals’ ace, John Tudor. Tuesday's game was another example of what has become the Royals’ trademark the past few weeks — lose a few games, then turn things around when the condition turns critical. ecites No team ever haS come back to win the Series after losing the first two games at home. No team ever has come back to win the Series after losing the first three. “We seem to play best with our backs up against the wall,” Black said. “It's hard to say why, but we did it at the end of the season, in the playoffs and now. Who knows why?” Perhaps George Brett knows why they did it Tuesday night. “If we had cruised through to the Western Division of the American League, if we'd cruised to the American League’championship, maybe beaten Toronto four games to one, then being down two games to none in the Series, we might have been a little bit scared,” Brett said. “But our ballclub was very loose before the game.” Brett was on second base via a single and relief pitcher Ricky Horton's balk when Frank waite doubled him home in the: seventh inning. run to left field. ‘The blast came on the last pitch Joaquin Andujar threw in the game — and likely the last he will throw as a starter in this World Series. “I don’t know what it is; he just can't seem to get it all together,” Herzog’ said. “He struggled every inning, got out of a couple of jams.” Would Andujar start the sixth game, if there is one? “I'm going to find out how Danny Cox is tomorrow,” Herzog said of Thursday night's sore-armed but scheduled starter. “He's coming off a bad elbow and it might be I'd go with (Ken) Forsch in the fifth game and come back with Cox in the sixth if needed and then Tudor in the seventh. _ “I could always use Andujar in the bullpen if I had to.” MISSED OPPORTUNITIES In the first: few innings the Royals missed opportunities but they broke through in the fourth. With Sundberg on first and one out, Buddy Biancalana hit a chopper between the mound and first base. Andujar sprinted toward it. So did Tommy Herr, the second baseman. And so did Jack Clark, the first baseman. “I thought it was going to be my play,” Herr said. “I was yelling for Joaquin to go to first,” Clark said. Andujar went for the ball, got to it first; then looked to first base — which was unprotected. So instead of two outs and one on, it was one out and two on. Saberhagen was only the second out with his bunt and Lonnie Smith doubled just off the glove of. diving right fielder Andy Van Slyke, driving in the only two runs Saberhagen would need to put the Royals back in the World Series. “We're still one game down,” White sai to come out tomorrow and even the Series. if “Then it’s a new ballgame.” “We have Our Action Ad Phone Number is 365-2212 There’s Always Something New For You! 7th Birthday Celebration The Celebration Continues - With Our Sandman beats Playboys By caNewe Staff Sandman’ Inn _ defeated Castlegar Playboys 7-5 in a Castlegar.
