Rome (HS)
Tapio Kantanen, one of Finland’s strongest medal hopes at the European Championships in Rome, watched from a distance as Poland’s Bronislaw Malinowski (8.15.05) and Sweden’s Anders Gärderud (8.15.40) fought for the steeplechase championship on the chalk lines.
Kantanen’s chances sank first into a water pit (nuri) and then into a dry obstacle (again nuri), when there were still more than three laps to the finish line.
From the water pit, Kantanen still rushed after the group, but on the dry obstacle he was on the surface of the track for so long that he had time to reach the top one hundred meters away.
“It was crowded at the water barrier, maybe I was also a little careless,” Kantanen reflected.
Tapio Kantanen’s fateful moment after the dry hurdle. Frantisek Bartosa Leaps over Kantanen, Dusan Moravcik follows. Gerd Frahmcke rounds from the right.

For Finland, Saturday was the first day without medals, and no points were scored.
New order model: You can’t drink beer in public, dogs can’t howl
City association has drawn up a new order model for cities and townships.
– –
According to the new rules of procedure, staying at bus and railway stations will be further restricted. If the maintenance of public order requires it, the police or an official can remove the person staying there.
The old order model only limited the stay of people under 15 years old at the stations. Now the restriction applies to all ages.
Nowadays, consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited in public places. The new order model also prohibits the drinking of beer in public places.
Dog and cat discipline will be tightened in the new rules of order. The dog’s repeated barking and howling are now prohibited not only at night but also during the day. The dog owner has to monitor his animal even more closely. The dog must always be kept on a leash in public places.

The new rules of procedure no longer contain prohibitions, e.g. from appearing in disguise. Similarly, the ban on playing cards on the street has been lifted.
FAQ for catching Kivijärvi fish with a helicopter
Kajaani (Pekka Oksala)
President Urho Kekkonen’s 23rd unofficial visit to the Soviet Union includes, in addition to getting to know Kostamus, plenty of fishing and outdoor activities.
On Saturday afternoon, the president and his entourage and the Soviet hosts moved to the shores of Kivijärvi, less than a 20-minute helicopter rid
e south of Kostamus.
Soviet border guards had set up a tent village in Kivijärvi, where the president is supposed to fish until Monday morning.
AP Akulov, the mission adviser who came to Kajaani to meet Kekko, however stated that staying at Kivijärvi depends crucially on fishing luck.
The commander of the Soviet helicopter, flight captain Albert Filipov, reports to President Kekkonen and his entourage at the Kajaani airport before the flight to Kostamus.
Big differences in men’s and women’s salaries
Cities and there are still large differences in the wages of workers of different sexes in the shops. This is evident from Statistics Finland’s most recent study.
In the study, e.g. average hourly earnings of employees in cities and towns by gender and type of work during the first quarter of this year.
The hourly wage for men was 10 marks 24 pence, while for women it was 7 marks 31 pence. For example, men were paid slightly more than 9 marks per hour for heavy miscellaneous work, women’s earnings were less than 8 marks.
Contract work accounted for about 50 percent of earnings for men, only 20 percent for women.
The flood water of Kyröjoki rose at a record speed
Seinäjoki (HS)
Already the third the summer flood during this summer will test the regions of Seinäjoki.
According to measurements at the Munaka measuring station, the water has risen two meters per day, as fast as during the worst spring floods.
With these prospects, more than a thousand hectares will already be under the flood.
In Ostrobothnia, the water that rose to the fields of Pajuneva also covered the roads and crashed against the undercarriage of cars.
Halibut in the grip of order
Jorma Korhonen
Pallas-Ounastunturi The main part of the area belonging to the Kittilä municipality of the national park, the area of Pallas suurtunturi, is falling victim to tourism.
The municipality of Kittilä has drawn up a master plan for the 3,760-hectare area. If implemented, it would scrap the peace of Pallas prescribed by the decree.
The structures of the ski lift do not fit into the landscape of the national park even in spirit, let alone in appearance.
Nature conservation circles are horrified. “Nature cannot be protected even in nature reserves,” says the Finnish Nature Conservation Association.
The association considers the fate of Pallas as a serious precedent, on the basis of which the protection orders can be canceled when something else is planned to replace the protection.
The Pallastunturi tourist hotel is an ugly sight in the great fell landscape with its many mixed-style and nondescript additional buildings. According to the residents, it would be satisfactory to renovate the dilapidated hotel. In their opinion, the expansion of the tourist area should be refrained from.

Six domestic poets publish poems at WSOY; A large epic novel is published by Eeva Joenpello.
Heikki Turunen’s Simpauttaja is also getting a sequel, now the novel Joensuu’s Elli.

A picture of our architecture — and what’s behind it
Kirmo Mikkola
In Kaivopuisto the Finnish Museum of Architecture’s 25th anniversary exhibition on display draws before our eyes a picture of the achievements of the best of our architects after the wars.
The exhibition set up on the vines of old linden trees is fascinatingly beautiful as it is, but it also raises many questions.
What is the direction of the development of our architecture, what is the impact of the small profession of our architects on the planning and construction of our country, and what is the significance of architectural exhibitions in the field of architecture and construction?
The Finnish Museum of Architecture’s 25th anniversary exhibition, designed by professor Aulis Blomstedt and architect Paavo Mänttäri, is today the last day to be seen in Kaivopuisto. The large exhibition, which spreads widely on the lawn of the park, presents the development of our architecture from the breakthrough of rationalism at the turn of the forties and fifties to the present day.
The familiar trio in the javelin shield
Rome (HS)
Javelin throw the winner of the prize competition is selected for the third time in a row from the trio Janis Lusis — Klaus Wolfermann — Hannu Siitonen.
The same setup was also before the European Championships in Helsinki and the Olympic Games in Munich.
And the situation hasn’t changed in a couple of years.
Javelin winner candidates Janis Lusis and Klaus Wolfermann were cautious about their own chances in Sunday’s final competition.
Radio fiasco in Rome
Reetta Meriläinen and Pekka Kukkonen
Public radio has made sports history: nothing as helpless and unprofessional as the TV coverage of the European Athletics Championships in Rome has hardly been seen and heard.
Why haven’t the TV sports reporters Pentti Salmi and Antero Karapalo bothered to dig up even background and additional information about the athletes?
Why don’t you know how to evaluate the performance level of different sports? Why don’t you know how to explain events outside the monitor? Why don’t you know athletes by their looks? Why not master the pronunciation of Finnish?
Sports commentators are also required to have expertise these days. This is a self-evident and absolute requirement, so it seems unbearable that Yleisradio’s TV couple team is like a wooden log group among professionals.
Shall we switch?
in Sweden there has been a debate about whether the Swedish national anthem “You old, you are free” should be changed to a more modern song that corresponds more to the spirit of the times.
Maybe it would be appropriate to start a discussion about changing the song of Suomen Maamme as well? The person in question has already passed away and in no way reflects current conditions and ideals.
Should we declare a lyric and composition competition to create a national anthem — or should we adopt a song already in use?
I think Alfred Tanner’s “Kulkurin heila ja hevonen” would be suitable, as if tapped, as a new song for our country.
“I, the Tramp, belong to the world, and sorrows do not weigh me down much. Hey huputiti juputiti puputiti on foot, your sorrows weigh me down a lot”.
Any other opinions or suggestions?
