The jury was inquiring into the death of Patrick Joseph Doucet, 17, who was injured . jn a motor vehicle accident Sept. 6, but died in Van- couver General Hospital be- cause of an accident in the .operating room as he, was about to undergo surgery to repair a fractured left leg. Doucet died of irreversible brain damage from a lack of oxygen while his breathing . was being controlléd by a ventilating machine operated by an anesthetist, the jury found. ! His death was the result of an accidental disconnection of the tubing feeding oxygen through a vaporizer contain- ing ethane, an anesthesic, to the patient. Alarms and mon- itors built into the machine are not constructed to show a failure at that junction, evi- | dence showed. Hl Testimony also indicated it “was most probable that the tube was disconnected prior to Doucet’s arrival in the operating room but it had not been noticed. The jury recommended a complete check list of all “operating functions and Known design defi iciencies” be checked out and on connectors might be loose because of slight variances in diameter, the jury recom- mended the inks mended design changes. to The history. “of the com: < strongly supported by other native communities in Nor- ° _ thern- Canada, started soon -after the show first came cut. | ~ munity’s protest, which was They approached the om | and the gain atvagreement will be reached because inventories are too” with Toyota’ Motor Co. ‘to. high, an automotive. trade jointly. build'a car in one of - say ronernrh reports.” Ford's U.S. snow Ford ‘and Toyota are neg eal for 1,664,000 cars’ from tiating. to build.the veliicle at “Jan. \1, through March com a single Ford plant and sell it . pared. wit : through; both Ford arid Toy-- in late Janiiary, Ward's Auto-. . ota. dealers’ in’..the.

As a whole, the airlines suffered their worst financial year in history last year, when.the cost of travel be- tween U.S. cities rosé an ‘ average of about 20 per cent. On Tuesday, several major carriers, citing higher jet fuel costs, notified the Civil Aero- nautics Board of plans to raise fares by as much as five per cent on domestic routes.
