A military spokesman said seven soldiers were killed by a land-mine set off today by separatist rebels at Kinniyai in eastern Sri Lanka. Three guerrillas and a policeman were killed in a clash near a railway station at Mannar in the north. Tamils, most of whom are Hindu, make up 18 per cent of the 16 million people in Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, an island country off India’s southern tip.

Party leader praises apartheid JOHANNESBURG — As people in the township of Soweto prepared niemorial services for 20 blacks killed (AP) by South African police during the week, a far-right political leader praised apart- heid at a rally where food was collected for needy white children. Andries Treurnicht, head of the Conservative party, demanded immediate general elections, saying the govern- ing National party’s pro- posals for limited power- sharing with blacks would lead to “national suicide” for the white minority. Treurnicht spoke in Afri- kaans on Saturday to about 2,000 people who gathered in a Pretoria plaza to pray, sing patriotic hymns and donate cans of food for distribution to underprivileged white chil- dren. The Citizen, a pro-govern- ment burg news- (left) and Betty Fox, mo in Terry By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer One of the major tasks faced by organizers of the annual Terry Fox Run is interpreting the fact that the run is not a race, é Betty Kerr, B.C. and Yukon Division coordinator for the Terry Fox Run, stresses that the run is an opportunity to participate in order to raise funds for cancer research. Kerr was in Castlegar last week along with Betty Fox, mother of the late Terry Fox whose Marathon of Hope raised millions of dollars for cancer research, to meet with local race organizers and members of the local branch of the Canadian Cancer Society. “There's a bad impression that the public has is that it is a run,” says Kerr. “It is for people that want to make it that way. If you want to go out and walk all day that’s fine.” This year’s Terry Fox Run — the sixth annual — will be held Sept. 14. Kerr and Fox are touring the Kootenays and other parts of the Interior: Besides Castlegar, Fox and Kerr also visited Trail, Nelson, Creston and Cranbrook. “It gives me an opportunity to meet some of the organizers and help them in our small way, and to improve their run and get more people out,” Fox says. ‘The local run is organized by Verona Walker of the Castlegar Recreation Department. Kerr is hoping the local organizing body will expand to include representation from the business community and service clubs. In Castlegar, a 10-kilometre run will begin at the Castlegar Community Complex. The run will go downtown and back up to the complex. But participants don't have to do the whole 10 kilometres. Walker says for those who prefer to run less, there will be signs posted for those participants wanting to do only five kilometres. And participants don't necessarily have to run. They can cycle, walk — even skip. Kerr notes that some paper, said there was specu- lation in parliament that a general election, which need not be held until 1989, might be called for Nov. 26. The Conservative party and its far-right allies now hold 19 of parliament's 166 elected seats and contend they would score significant gains among white voters. Country mourns gas victims YAOUNDE (Reuter) — The normally busy streets of Cameroon's capital were all but deserted Saturday as residents mourned the vic tims of last week's volcanic gas disaster in the northwest region of the African coun- access to Soviet television viewers. The U.S. was criticized by Soviet commentators. State Department deputy spokesman Charles Redman said Friday the timing of the proposal was considered inappropriate because the United States and the Soviet Union are engaged in sensitive negotiations on a number of issues. try. Some have put the death toll at more than 1,700. . State radio broadcast funeral music interspersed with news bulletins as Yaounde’s population re- spected the countrywide day of mourning that was de clared Friday by President Paul Biya. Flags flew at half-mast to mourn the dead. The Swiss- based UN Disaster Relief Co- ordinating Group says 1,746 people died in the incident. Protestant and Roman Catholic churchs as well as Islamic mosques held ser. vices in memory of the dead. The United Nations Chil- drens’ Fund said that by Friday 1,700 of the victims had been buried and 10,000 people had been moved from seven villages. can even #wim if their community is able to get such an event organized There is also an oppoftunity for groups to become involved. Kerr says teams and clubs donate entry fees from tournaments to the Terry Fox Run. Fox and husband Rolly serve as honorary chairmen of the Terry Fox Run, although Betty finds herself more involved. Attending national organizing meetings. reviewing decisions, giving interviews, making speeches and personally answering the incoming mail are all part of her role. Her position takes her to Toronto a lot where she meets with the committee responsible for organizing the run. Fox worked until 1982 when she left her job as a store manager to devote full-time to the Terry Fox Run. She keeps an office in her home where she answers all incoming mail. At present, she's two to three months behind, she admits. She gets mail from all over the world. The Terry Fox Run isn't only held in Canada Last year runs were held in 43 different locations throughout Europe. And the number will increase this year as runs are planned at 13 different sites in Australia. Fox says most of the runs in Europe are organized by Canadian embassies and the Canadian Armed Forces. In the past, runs have been held in countries such as the USSR, China, Japan. England, Australia, Yugoslavia and Turkey. She says Navy personnel out at sea will also hold runs. And a couple of years ago, runs were even held at the North Pole Last year’s run was the best ever There were 1,857 sites with 288,284 participants. The run raised $3.7 million for eancer research commut annual Terry Fox Run Sept. 14. Involvement the key Fox Run ‘This included 85,000 people from B.C. and the Yukon at 318 different sites. Locally, more % fundraising. “We have a lot of student groups participating, but not as many adults,” Kerr says. So far this year, organizers for British Columbia and the Yukon have identified 168 run sites, — more than 24 sites than this time last year. The honorary chairman for this year’s run in B.C. and the Yukon is B.C. Lions quarterback Roy Dewalt. Fox says organizers felt the response last year was due in part because pledge sheets were more available. And last year the run committee invited some limited corporate involvement in the run. “It was a large decision to have to do that,” she says. “Terry was so against commercialization.” But she said it was decided that the pledge forms had to be more readily available. Prior to getting the corporate involvement, there were only two outlets where pledge forms could be picked up — Canadian Cancer Society offices and Four Seasons Hotels — sponsor members of the run, along with Fitness and Amateur Sport Canada. But now pledge forms are also available at Canada Post offices, Bank of Nova Scotia, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Shoppers Drug Mart, and K-Mart. The Terry Fox Run had its beginning in 1980. After Terry had to withdraw from his Marathon of Hope in September 1980 at Thunder Bay, » 10-kilometre run was initiated by Four Seasons president, Isadore Sharp to continue Fox's crusade. When it was known that Fox wasn't going to survive, Sharp called him and asked if he wasn't able to finish the run himself, how he would feel about having a run in his name to continué the fundraising for cancer . “Terry said it would be a wonderful ide: .” recalls his mother. So far more than $40 million has been raised through Terry's Marathon of Hope. ’ Funds from the runs and the past five Terry Fox Runs go to the National Cancer Institute in Toronto.
