Man urged to jump from bridge NEW WESTMINSTER (CP) — A few motorists, ir- ritated by a massive traffic jam caused Tuesday when a man threatened to jump from the Port Mann bridge east of Vancouver, shouted at him to jump as they drove past. But many others passed notes of support and encour- agement to police trying to talk the man out of killing himself. Traffic on the Trans- Canada Highway was backed up for about five kilometres during the 52-hour standoff. One of the two eastbound lanes was closed while police the rail at the bridge's north end. “It took them that long to Thank You Pa CALGARY MAYOR Ralph’ Kiein, who will be in Nelson's Mid-Summer Bonspiel parade July 5 (which will be honoring Calgary) says he’s sick and tired of being asked how bad things are in Calgary these days. “The fact is it isn't bad,” says Klein. “We are being portrayed as a city that has been totally devastated. Though declining oil prices have badly hurt the oil patch and oil companies, which dominate the Calgary economy, Klein says the impact hasn't been anything as bad as the media have protrayed it. “They keep talking about an exodus when in fact our population has grown by 15,000. Our unemployment rate is about 10 per cent. That's higher than the provincial average, but it's no disaster.” CASTLEGAR'S Leo and Lucy Bosse put out the hospitaility mat for West German cyclists Jorg Becker WONDERING WHATS going on at the empty corner lot next to West Kootenay Power and Light Co. om Columbia Avenue?

Much of the opposition to move daylight-saving time came from rural legislators whose districts and states straddle the western edges of time zones. They complained that the change would force children and farmers to begin more of their days in the dark, Tuesday's action capped a 10-year effort to lengthen daylight-saving time, a move that supporters, like the De partment of Transportation, say will result in fewer high way deaths because drivers will spend less time on dark roads at night. Also pushing for the change were U.S. sporting goods and leisure products manufacturers who see in. creased sales for their wares and a group representing the approximately 400,000 Amer: ians who have retinitis pig mentosa, or night blindness. with a leather mask. Bowden's body stiffened, his fists clenched and wit- nesses heard a rush of air asa current of 2,002-volts passed through his body. Seven minutes later, two doctors pronounced Bowden dead. He was convicted in 1976 of beating Kathyrn Stryker, 55, to death with the barrel of a pellet gun during a robbery at her Columbus home. The woman's bedridden mother, who was 76, was in- jured during the robbery and was alone for three days be- fore a deputy sheriff went to the home. Bowden's execution was opposed by Amnesty Inter- national, activists for retard- ed people, and a host of rock stars, including Sting, Lou Reed and the Irish band U2, who dedicated a song to the condemned man during an Atlanta concert earlier this month to raise funds for Am- nesty International. - An intelligence test indi- cated Bowden had an overall ference between right and wrong at the time of the commission of the crime.” Expo may use Fox's leg VANCOUVER (CP) — part of the huge Highway 86 sculpture at the fair. Expo creative director Ron Woodall has been pondering thé question since an Ontario prosthesis engineer gave him one of the artificial legs used by Fox during his run to raise money for cancer research. Fox died in June 1981 after a recurrence of cancer forced him to abandon his run in 1980 after he had travelled nearly halfway across Can- ada. Woodall also has a new ar. tificial leg developed with funds raised by Fox's run. “The legs are sitting in my office,” Woodall said. “The new prosthesis allows a one-legged runner to run without the hop that Terry had to use. So I have the old type of leg and the new one, and I think it would be a really nice thing to mount them on Highway 86.” The $4.38-million sculptur- ed highway undulates across the Expo site and is covered HAMS 2: TENT nscnn rat?
