Reagan's five-minute mes sage was shown on all chan- nels at the start of the Soviet Union's main nightly news program. Soviet leader Mik. hail Gorbachev made a sim. ultaneous appearance on U.S. television as part of a joint agreement. Asked if she had seen Reagan's message, Veta, a middle-aged woman, said: “What do you think, of course I saw it. How could we have missed a thing like that?” State television and radio gave no prior notice of the broadcast, .and about half Another ferry sold VANCOUVER (CP) — The B.C.

The Queen of Surrey is the fourth ferry to be sold under a leaseback arrangement since 1976, Nicholson said Tuesday The others are the Queens of Coquitlam and Cowichan, sold for $17 million in 1976, and the Queen of Alberni, sold for $14.6 million in 1977. All were sold to Canadian trust companies. All continue to be operated by B.C. Ferries. Nicholson said the corpor. ation, as is the case with the other leaseback agreements# has an option to buy back the Queen ef Surrey at the end of 20 years.

In his message, Reagan appealed to the Soviet people to work with the United States for peace in 1986, and made several references to human rights. Gorbachev, whose mes sage followed immediately after Reagan's on Soviet television, did not directly mention the U.S. Star Wars anti-missile defence plan, al- though he said it was “sense- less to seek greater security for oneself through new types of weapons.” Irina, a woman in her 30s, said Reagan's Star Wars plan is the major stumbling block in improving relations, a view echoing the official Kremlin line. “We'll see his true inten- tions if he decides to get rid of Star Wars or not,” she said. Ivan, a pensioner, said he could not understand why relations had ever got so bad. “We fought in the same war together, didn’t we? It's high time they got together and talked.” Vera said the broadcasts were directly linked with the positive tone in relations since November's summit between Reagan and Gorba- chev. “It's better to see one another once than to hear from -each other a hundred We've just started our biggest after Christmas Sale ever!

Playing as if they were suffering from a collective hangover, the Canadians misfired on all fronts and could not shake the dogged play of the plocky Finns, a team that historically has given Canada a tough match. The best that could be said of the home side's 6-5 victory is that Canada managed to emerge with two points to set up tonight's gold-medal encounter with the Soviets. Since both Canada and the Soviets sport 5-0 records — four points ahead of both the Finns and the Swedes — winning tonight's game means winning the gold medal. Saturday's closing games become vital only if Canada and the Soviets play to a draw. ‘The Soviets kept their unblemished record intact with a 4-3 victory over Czechoslovakia, while Sweden dumped winless Switzerland 7-1 and the United States downed winless West Germany 4-1. THINKS AHEAD Shayne Corson, who scored Canada’s first goal, admitted the team was thinking too much about the iets. “I think that was one of our today, definitely,” said Corson. “There's a natural -up ina game between Canada and Russia and I a ik it got to some of the guys. “Today we just came out flat and did 4 play as well as we should have.” The game set a couple of firsts for Canada as it fell behind on two occasions for the first time in the tournament, and also gave up its first two power-play Is. Jouni Kantola put Finland ahead, but Corson had tied the game by the end of the opening period. Jarmo Kekalainen shot Finland into a 2-1 lead with the first of seven second-period goals. Alain Cote and Gary Roberts scored 1:27 apart to give Canada the lead for the first time, 3-2. That lead was shortlived, though, as 1:27 later Pentti Lehtosaari tied it. Canada then seemed to put the game away when Jim Sandlak and Luc Robitaille scored power-play goals 24 seconds apart with Sandlak’s goal coming with the Finns two-men short. Mikko Laaksonen notched a power-play goal for Finland to cut the Canadian margin back to one entering the third period. Sylvain Cote scored what proved to be the winner at 1:44.

Canada to the victory, successfully killing off two penalties in the final seven minutes. “We just weren't there today, weren't with it,” said Canadian coach Terry Simpson. “We weren't sharp at all. “We didn’t have our rhythm today, our timing, our intensity. But give some credit to the Finns. They didn't quit.” Simpson said he knew the team was due for a clunker. “Over the course of a tournament like this, you always seem to have one flat game and hopefully this is it and we got it out of our system,” he said. Finnish coach Hanu Jortikka was livid over the officiating by referee Andy McElman of the United States. “The referee gave the win to Canada in the second agg (when Canada scored three power-play goals),” he welt tats added he wasn't overly impressed with the Canadian team. “This team isn't as good as last year’s,” he said of the defending champions. “Their defence will have a problem with the Russians.” SOVIET UNION 4 CZECHOSLOVAKIA 3 Andrei Kovalev scored his first goal of the tournament midway in the second period to provide the Soviets with the winning margin over a eager Czechoslo- vakian squad that battled back from a 3-0 deficit. Valery Kamensky, with his tournament-leading seventh goal, Yuri Nikonov and Pavel Torgayev also scored for the Soviet Union. Kamil Kastak, Robert Kron and David Volek scored for Czechoslovakia. UNITED STATES 4 WEST GERMANY 1 The United States peppered West Germany goaltender Klaus Merk with 50 shots and scored three goals in a four-mtinute span in the second period to keep its slim hopes of a bronze medal alive. West Germany managed 17 shots in the game and got a goal from Christian Reuter midway in the third period. Steve Leach, Max Middendorf, Greg Dornbach and Jim Carson seored for the Americans, who hiave a shot at the bronze by beating Switzerland and Sweden in its final two games. SWEDEN 7 SWITZERLAND 1 Fredrik Olausson and Roger Johansson scored short-handed goals 19 seconds apart in the first period to send the Swedes to victory over the Swiss. Roger Ohman, Ulf Dahlen, Joakim Persson, Mats L and Robert i scored the other goals for Sweden.
