Madill Mirror u Vogrigy Last week, on Tuesday, October 6, the world was filled with mixed emotions as one of this era's greatest enforcers of peace was slain. Anwar Sadat was killed in one of the cruellest attack s on a political leader. The varied emotions a- mused by his death, were those of happiness and sad- ness. Some of the Arab countries were relieved by -the news of his death for they did not share his goals. However, those ill-regarded reactions were less dominant than those of sorrow. Leaders in Western and European countries mourned his death. President Sadat laboured many years to make Eygpt a productive, wealthy nation. After this task was success- fully completed, he under- took the ultimate chore of establishing a peaceful re- lationship with Israel, once Eygpt's main enemy. He placed all admiration and respect he had obtained from the Arab countries in jeo- pardy; also, he anticipated rejection of such a Peace Treaty between Israel and Egypt. However, believing that his actions were in Eygpt's best interests, he forged ahead with his plan and came away in 1979 from Washington D . C . with a proclamation of peace signed by himself and Menachem Begin. Anwar Sadat, by his cour- ageous efforts, were able to create a contact of peace with Israel before he died. For- tunately, he saw his goal form a binding pact (which is much more than many lead- ers who have perished before the travail of their prosaic purposes have been fulfill- ed.) I'm sure that Anwar Sadat would be proud of his political followers' decision to respect his devotion to- wards ' peace and abide by policies already established. Anwar Sadat died an ironic death. He lived for peace and died by violence. What was he slain for? For everything he believed in! By Caroline Mulvey EDITORIAL Human life is so fragile. Little do some people realize how easily a life can be "snuffed" out, how precious living is. The morning of June 28. 1981, as I scowled over the breakfast dishes. I heard nine words I'll never forget - "Terry Fox, dead, at the age of twenty-two." My heart stopped for a brief eternity, by hands trembled as realized what I had heard. Age twenty-two? What life time Terry had on earth, but the last few months of his life were lived to the fullest. Terry lost his right leg to cancer: an active athlete, suddenly handicapped. Ter- ry's running days were over, it seemed, but really they had just begun again. If this had been me, I'm sure I would have laid on my bed, never showing my face to the outside world. Terry wasn't stopped at all though. There must have been mo- ments when he crumbled and broke into tears, but he decided to do something with his life. He kept right on living, something people with two legs don't have the energy to do at times. As Terry began his Marat- hon of Hope across Canada, I never thought much of it. Why should I have? I didn't know the guy. More or less, I had the attitude of, "I don't care". Talk about ignorant! As Terry continued to hop on one leg, a prothesis, and a few whispered words of encouragement, I began to realize just what he was up to. It slowly dawned on me that there was a method to his madness. To run twenty- six miles each day on two . legs each day, is in itself a feat; but to run twenty-six miles each day on one leg was something I found hard to grasp, To jog across Canada, handicapped no less to gather money for cancer research and not take any for himself, he had to be either crazy or very generous. It's not hard to determine what Terry's motive for running across the country was, You don't find many people who give everything they have and never take. I'm sure most people in Canada including me, don't use half or a third of their potential. If something seems too hard to accomp- lish, I shrug my shoulders and say, "Forget it!" Terry Fox could easily, every eas- ily, have said that and laid in bed 'till he died. He didn't though. He decided to help others in need and what better way to spend your life! Maybe, just maybe, Terry's funds will find the key to curing cancer. It just may happen some day. It has to happen. The scientist who discovers the cure will be a national hero, too. Perhaps then, . the words that Terry spoke, will come true, not just for him but for all cancer victims - "Some- where the hurting must stop..." "THEN AND NOW" We saw you first As you ran; Across our country, Across our land. We saw you second As you grew ill; You fought with strength, You fought with will. We saw you third As you died; The whole land mourned, The whole land cried. We see you now In our hearts; You are gone, but You'll never part.
