Emil Zatopek is still popular with the Finnish athletics public.
The three-time gold medalist of the Helsinki Olympic Games received the same wild applause as Lasse Viren, the winner of the 5,000 meters, in the international competitions at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium.
The great runners met at the awards ceremony. Zatopek handed Viren the first Paavo Nurme memorial award. Viren became the holder of the statue after defeating Sweden’s Anders Gärderud, USA’s Steve Prefontaine and Poland’s EC winner Bronislaw Malinovski in the last round.
In the rain and wind, Viren’s final time of 13:26.0 is excellent.

West Berlin (UPI)
West Germany Ulrike Meinhof, the leader of the first urban guerilla group, was in court on Tuesday to answer the charge of attempted murder.
Meinhof called his defense lawyer a “pig” and his co-accused Horst Mahler hit his lawyer on the head.
Meinhof, 39, asked to be let out of the courtroom, saying, “I don’t want to listen to this theater any longer.” He promised instead to speak at the next court hearing next Friday.
The public prosecutor charged Meinhof with attempted murder, which he said occurred when Meinhof freed Andreas Baader, the second leader of the urban guerrilla group, from prison in 1970.
Horst Mahler, a left-wing former lawyer, is accused of aiding Baader’s release.

Matti Ranini has such a beautiful nose from his father’s heritage that you’d think the man would be forever grateful for it.
Nationally handsome Matti doesn’t complain about anything, but he does remember a comment made about his nose when he once tried to get a part in a film at Särkä’s audition theater. “You can’t put it in that role with a nose like that,” grunted TJ Särkkä about the young actor, and he really didn’t have the skills. – –
Matti Ranin remembers the first applause he received like it was yesterday. “I became so shy that I felt like running away.” Actress wife Irjasta Matti is an interesting husband. “Many kinds of husbands walk through the door, always depending on their current role.”

Post offices still closed on Saturdays
Post offices are still closed on Saturdays and mail is not delivered.
The experiment carried out in the summer will be continued “for some time” in order to get a full understanding of the effects of the closure, said the Director General of the Post and Telegraph Board Oiva Saloila at the meeting of the heads of the postal districts in Kuopio on Tuesday.
“There was not a single complaint call in the summer,” says plh. “People were satisfied – or perhaps already submitted to the practice.”
According to Plh, the reason for the continuation of the experiment is also the labor shortage.
Saloila said that the post office is facing major changes. The changes are the biggest in male memory and they mostly happen in organizations.
According to Saloila, part of the reason for the loss is the transportation and distribution of the magazines, for which plh does not receive sufficient compensation.

There are many opponents to this, but what do we do when Czechoslovakia falls from the top of the international competition, many ask.”
Kuopio’s traffic lights favor pedestrians
Kuopio (HS)
Pedestrians Kuopio’s traffic lights in the heart of the city, advertised as popular, were put into use after a two-week trial period on Tuesday. The two light-controlled streets are Kuopio’s main entry and exit roads.
When the lights came into use, car traffic was also restricted on the so-called rännikatu in the center. The goal is to get them primarily for pedestrian and bicycle traffic in accordance with the master plans.
Kuopio’s traffic lights were put to work in the calmest moment of the afternoon, after the end of market hours. Pedestrians on the most heavily used crosswalk in the center at the edge of the market were usually impatient to wait for the green light, although the police had to hand over a few.
The police were prepared to guide pedestrians above all. The advice seemed to be necessary: out of ignorance or inattention, the slightly older walkers were walking towards the red area.
On the other hand, motorists followed the light signals very well on the first day.
