Seizures of coeaine rose by 125 per cent compared with 1984 to a record 80 kilo grams. Heroin confiscated rose by 1) per cent to 360 kilograms. The now says that by refining the data used, it calculates that U.S. production in 1982 was 404,106 board feet an em- ployee compared with 427,460 board feet — six per cent higher — in British Col- umbia. Stanley Dennison, chair- man of the U.S. Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports, said the commission's clarification substantiates the coalition's position that when similar operations are compared, U.S. workers and mills are as productive as those in Can- ada. “It also supports our con tention that it is only by stumpage subsidy, and not by greater productivity, that Canada is able to increase its share of our domestic lumber market,” Dennison said. He did not comment on the Richard La » chief investigation officer for cust- oms, warned of a growing threat from South American drug dealers, who he said are trying to widen the British cocaine market. Britain was sending nar. coties officers overseas to assist foreign experts in their fight against drug dealers. Customs officers said they smashed more than 70 organ- ized drug rings last year. The British government, alarmed at rising levels of addiction in the country, is drafting legislation to em power courts to confiscate the assets of conwieted drug smugglers. Such a law al- ready exists in the United ission’s find. ing that Canadian lumber employees were 26 per cent more productive than their United States counterparts in 1984. Earlier, it had said there was a 60-per-cent su periority in Canadian produc tivity. Commission chairman Paula Stern said in a letter to Clayton Yeutter, U.S. trade representative, that the re fined data also confirm that Canadian softwood lumber production is more concen trated in large mills. rans SHARPENING SERVICE (Behind “Castle Theatre’) For oll types of sharpening sows, choin-saws, carbide bodes, scissors. mower blodes rs, ete!

About 80 former employ- ees returned to work Mon- @ay. Another 170 could re- turn in the future. Art Phillips, the province's commissioner for critical in- dustries, hailed the re- openings. “I think it's probably the most important so far. Here were different points of view and the two locals decided to take the bull by the horns. “It breaks down the bar- riers between the owner, mana, and employees — the us and them attitude.” The mills were reborn after a $14 million financing plan was assembled by the IWA, the company and Phil- lips. Fifty Sooke sawmill pro- Jobs duction workers had happy faces Monday — and a few aching muscles after having little or no work for the best part of 18 months. HISTORY MADE “You're looking at his- tory”, said mechanic Willy Stephens, pointing with pride to the first forklift loaf of newly sawn lumber in the Lamford yard at Sooke. “That's the first one of many. Yes, I'm confident. If we can't make a go of it, who can? It's a workmen-owned company. We're a partner- ship. It's the best thing that even happened.” John Atterbury was work- as a trimmer Monday. ‘Yes, the crew feels different — you don't mind doing that bit extra.” ‘Two new companies, Lam- ford Holdings Ltd. and Lam- ford Forest Products Ltd., were created to take over the operations of SFP Ltd.

The tea was officially op- ened by Elaine Higgins, Past Bethel Guardian of Bethel No. 60, who intro duced Honoured Queen Kim- berley Belton. The girls were kept busy seeing that everyone was served with tea, and short cake and cream. The winner of the raffle was Verna Zaytsoff of Castle- gar who received a large basket of Christmas goodies. Mrs. P. Lebedoff of Grand Forks. At the end of December the girls were entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Pat Hegan of Blueberry. They spent an enjoyable afternoon singing carols and playing board games. The highlight of the afternoon was a visit from Santa, who presented each girl with a small gift. This Wednesday will be the last meeting of Honored Queen Kimberley. The instal- lation of Honored Queen. elect Shauna Hegan and her officers will be held Sunday, in the Masonic Hall. The Smith said that when the mills return to full prod- uction, a total of 250 laid-off workers will be back to work. “I feel pretty good. It was 250 jobs in this province going down the tube and they didn’t.” Smith said the lumber inventory at the two mills was valued at $2 million by the Toronto Dominion Bapk late last year when the bank was preparing to auction off the assets. Both mills were closed in September 1984 and unem- ployment benefits for the laid-off workers expired a year later. VENUS H.B.

The Rocket, undoubtedly one of the most gifted goal scorers ever to play hockey, finished his career with a total of 544 goals. He was the first player ever to score 50 goals in 60 games, a record that was only broken by Wayne Gretzky of Edmonton Oilers (50 goals in 36 games). Maurice is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, along with brother Henri. Henri played 20 seasons with Montreal during the “Golden Years" of the Canadiens. Though well over the 1,000 point mark, the “Pocket Rocket” had to wait until 1978 to win his first major award, the Bill Masterton Trophy, which is awarded for perseverance and dedication to hockey. Playing in a league dominated by centres, Henri still managed to be named to the first all-star team once and the second team three times. Henri holds records for the most Stanley Cup games (180) and most Cup winners (11).

Flames lose 11th game By NEIL STEVENS The Canadian Press Santa Claus forgot them and now the home fans have turned on Calgary Flames. A 9-1 loss Tuesday night to Hartford Whalers was the last straw for the Saddledome faithful, who have not witnessed a Calgary win since Dec. 12. A chorus of boos rained down as the Flames headed to the showers after their 11th consecutive National Hockey League defeat. “I don’t blame them,” Calgary coach Bob Johnson said of the crowd's reaction. “We didn't play well.” Dean Evason,: who had promised in a pre-game telephone call to Brandon to score a goal on his father's birthday, and Kevin Dineen scored three goals each for Hartford In other NHL games, it was: Quebec Nordiques 7, St. Louis Blues 4; Vancouver Canucks 2, Winnipeg Jets 2: Minnesota North Stars 8, New York Islanders 2; and Washington Capitals 4, Detroit Red Wings 3. Islander captain Denis Potvin is the laté$t casualty in a recent rash of eye injuries. Potvin was struck in the right eye by teammate Clark Gillies’s stick blade midway through the third period and left the game. There was no immediate word on the extent of damage. WEEKS STARS In Calgary, Ray Ferraro added two goals and Ron Francis one for the Whalers, who broke a three-game losing streak to move into fourth place in the tight Adams Division race, one point ahead of Buffalo. ’ Steve Weeks made 37 saves for the Whalers, while Calgary goaltender Rejean Lemelin stopped 27. Steve Konroyd seored for the Flames, who remain second in the Smythe. The previous team record of eight consecutive losses was established in December 1974 when the franchise was based in Atherfta. Seven of the Flames’ first nine defeats on the current losing streak were one-goal decisions. NORDIQUES 7 BLUES 4 In Quebec City, Anton Stastny broke a 22 second-period tie with two goals in 21 seconds to send the Nordiques to their fifth consecutive victory. Also scoring for Quebec were J.F. Sauve, with two goals, and Peter Stastny, John Anderson and Michel Goulet, with his 3}st of the season. Peter Stastny and Goulet each had three assists. STARS 3 ISLANDERS 2 In Uniondale, N.Y., former Islander Mats Hallin scored Minnesota's winning goal at 4:19 of the third period as the North Stars won for the sixth time in their last seven games. Curt Giles and Scott Bjugstad, with his 24th goal of the season, also scored for Minnesota. Mike Bossy, with his 27th goal, and Pat Flatley scored for New York CAPITALS 4 WINGS 3 In Landover, Md., Bob Gould’s short-handed goal at 15:25 of the third period lifted Washington to its fourth straight win. Lou Franceschetti, Dave Christian, with his 24th of the season, and Bob Carpenter also scored for the Capitals. Steve Yzerman, Billy Carroll and Greg Smith scored for Detroit. im the NFC title game Sun- day, the Dolphins must make do with an 18th-rated run- ning game and the 23rd-rank- ed defence against New Eng- land Patriots. New England has 1,000-yard man Craig James and the league's No. 7 defence. But Miami has too much going for it to worry about the AFC championship show- down, which will be the late game Sunday. The Dolphins have the second-best passing offence, led by all-pro Dan Marino at quarterback. They have Don Shula, who has coached six Super Bowl teams, five in Miami. And they have an 18-year winning streak against the Patriots in the Orange Bowl. Shula says they also have enough defence and an ac ceptable running game, spearheaded by Tony Nathan and rookie Ron Davenport. DEFENCE IMPROVES Shula says his team’s de- fence improved for five weeks before nearly being run over by Cleveland's Ear- nest Byner and Kevin Mack last Saturday. The Dolphins escaped with a 24-21 victory after trailing 21-3. Defensive co-ordinator we weren't giving up many points in the last few weeks and I thought things were coming together.” “As for the running game, it was good enough against Cleveland to indicate the Patriots’ defence can't con- centrate on the air attack. And Nathan was sensational as a receiver with 10 catches for 101 yards against the Browns. Rebels in overtime Dolphins have good chance at Super Bowl - Nathan led the team in 72 for 651 687 yards “Tony Nathan is a money player,” Shula says. “He has been making big plays for us and Les Angeles Raiders, both on the road.
