The Curator is Mrs. V. H. Umphrey of Hudson's . Bay Road, Fort Langley, and she states that there is considerable research to be done to implement scant information on some of the exhibits. On ons or two, it seems non-existant at the present time. Mrs. Umphrey is extremely interested in her work and will enjoy the challenge presented in the search for informatibn. Many items have been moved over from the old museum on the Fort site and more may come. Some new items o f special interest are the twenty- one figurines, dressed by the Women's Institute of Douglaa District and presented to the Museum by them. The heads were modelled from photos and pictures by Mrs. Walter Dalquist, of Brown Road,* Langley. The bodies of the figurines, though not visible, were very well made by Mrs. D. H. Wise of White Rock. A collection of Fraser Valley rocks and jade was also presented to the Museum by Dick Corliss, impersonating Simon Fraser, who brought) the rocks down .from Yale when the Fraser Brigade made it's visit on July lst. All around the colonade outside the Museum old horseshoes, hooks and various old implements found around the Fort have been set into the cement blocks. In this way they are preserved without taking up valuable space inside. Two totem poles are placed alongside the Museum and these were presented by the Native Sons. The first day the Museum was opened there were over five hundred visitors and they average around one hundred a day now. It is a fine asset to Fort Langley and those who have hot been there will find a visit most rewarding.

Fire Destroys Barn On Jackman Rd South A barn belonging to A. E. Hunt on South Jackman was completely gutted by fire on Sunday evening. Informed by his children that his barn was on fire, Mr. Hunt called the Fire Department after trying to quell the blaze with buckets of water. The Fire Dept. was there 5 minutes after the siren went but the flames had gained control and lack of water hampered efforts. 12 tons of hay and 10 cords of wood were destroyed, and only half of a quantity of building lumber was saved. One end of Mr. Hunt' house was badly scorched but the Fire Dept., after returning to Aldergrove for more water were able to prevent the fire spreading.

Eraser Brigade Lands at Fort [Langley Officer in charge of Royal Engineers. A beautiful summer day drew the crowds to Fort Langley to welcome the Fraser Brigade upon it's arrival at the old Fort Langley grounds now known as Derby Town- site. It was 150 years to the day since Simon Fraser set foot on the site, The Royal Engineers from England, some of them direct descendants of the original soldiers who were at Fort Langley a hundred years ago, made a colourful sight and a t a r g e't for many amateur photographers. Another group who smilingly faced the batteries of cameras were the Ladies' Auxiliary to* the Centennial Committee, attired in old-iime costumes. They were early about the landing site and added much colour to the scene. The Fort Langley Firemen's Band and -wo Majorettes provided the music which gave life and tempo to the ceremonies. Tommy Farquhar was in full regalia awaiting the arrival of the Brigade and brought another historical shop, men's wash room and hose drying tower. The first floor which will include an overhanging canopy to shelter the main doors from the weather, will contain a large meeting room 24" by 48", a smaller meeting room, kitchen and living quarters, fire escape and ladies wash room. With a start being made in the next few weeks it is hoped that the roof stage will be reached by the fall. New innovations include metal sash windows and the roof will be flat with 3 inch decking. Heating will be by natural gas. As most of the new building will be effected by voluntary help, Fire Chief Dams is asking for help from any member of the community in the fire zone and one or two days work will be greatly appreciated. Anyone who is willing to give some spare time to this project is asked to contact any of the following members of the building committee; Alvin Fast, John Chard, R Clamp, G Gunderson, Les Williams, C Haid, Joe Breier, Jim Ferguson, Ben Klick or Howard Craig The old fire station will remain on the present site until a suitable place can be found for it elsewhere. If another area becomes large enough to warrant a No. 2 Fire Hall then it would probably be moved to that site, and- in -the-meantime it can be used for municipal and community purposes. figure to life. Simon Fraser brought his own piper with him so many years ago. The arrival of the Brigade at 10.30 a.m. was heralded by the whoops of Indians in a war canoe who came speeding by. by Dick Corliss, came ashore from the first canoe, accompanied by an Indian Chief and other voyageurs. Several more canoes carried members of hi* party and Indian guides. They were welcomed by officials of the community and Centennial from shore to hill by Tom Farquhar. There they were addressed by Chairman Alex Hope of the Centennial Committee and Mr. Wallace of the B. C. Centennial Committee. The Royal Engineers and the Royal Canadian Engineers formed a Guard of Honour as a member of the Engineers raised the Union Jack and a very old Hudson's Bay Flag belonging to Mrs. Houston, of Fort Langley. The old, weath- the elements. The big "H.B.C. the elements. The big "H.B.C." in faded white letters on the red really made a link with the past. After a brief ceremony the party and spectators climbed into their cars and formed a cavalcade back to Fort Langley for the opening of the new Museum, which will be a focal point for many local people and tourists during the coming months. Some of the many ponies outside the stable at the Children's Holiday Ranch now open. THE ALDERGROVE AND DISTRICT NEWS Aldergrove, B.

Editor and Advertising Manager DON ANSON Assistant Editor MARGARET GREEN Authorized as Second Class Mail by the Post Office Department, Ottawa PROPOSED MUNICIPAL HALL We draw the attention of all our readers to the notice in this week's issue regarding the proposed new Municipal Hall, The estimated cost of this building is $125,000 of which $65,000 will be obtained from accumulated reserves and $60,000 will be borrowed. The interest on this latter amount will be met by monies to be received from space rented to the Provincial Government. This means that a new Hall can be provided for the Municipality wihout any increase in taxes for this purpose. We would like to remind you that the School referendum was turned down several times before it eventually went through and each time the amount went higher and higher. Wether or not you are in favour of a new hall, we think everyone who can possibly attend should do so. The Reeve and the Councillors elected by you will be in attendance, so will the Architect. Aldergrove is the largest centre of population in the Municipality and should have a big say in H's affairs. Make a note of the date and time; Monday, July 14th, 8 P. M LETTER TO, THE EDITOR / Dear Sir: To me it seemed quite disheartening that our Municipal Council had to decide not to go ahead with their new Hall. The ratepayers attending the meeting a t Murrayville have been very shortsighted in not encouraging this building. As we all know our old Hall is very much out of date and very inadequate for keeping records and carrying on the business of the Corporation in general. Here in Langley Municipality we are trying to encourage industry and home building. Let us have progress, it's got, to come, and don't let us worry so much about pinching a few dollars for such a worthy pro* ject. Yours truly, Les Williams Aldergrove BOUQUETS FOR THIS WEEK A little praise never hurt anyone and we would like to select two businesses as recipients for some this week. Mr. Arthur Deitcher of Abbotsford has done a fine job on the new sidewalks and Aldergrove is improved 100 percent by them. Maybe there were a few difficulties with some levels but this was outside the contract. All businessmen should bentfjt greatly and so will the public. A very good job Mr. Deischer, done well and concientiously. The second bouquet goes to the Tibbetts. Everyone will agree that the Rose Garden Motel looks most attractive and with it's new neon lighting adds considerable to the beauty of the town. One could throw a few brickbats as well and it is to be hoped that certain eyesores will receive immediate attention in the near future. Paint is not all that expensive and as Mr. Stafford remarked recently at a School Board meeting, "It not only hides ugly things but can even make them attractive". A store front is just as important as it's contents, sometimes even more so and to make it pleasing to the eye should be the aim of every business man. Imposing office entrance to the new Rose Garden Motel building. Bricks, neon lighting and flowers give the whole building a most colourful and pleasing appearance.

"Beum MOVING and STORAGE LTD, Trans-Canada Highway Wert (Opposite MSA Motors) ABBOTSFORD, B.C • MOVING •PACKING • STORAGE DIAL ABB. 2-6531 MOVING IS OUR BUSINESS Local or Long Distance AGENT — ALLIED VAN LINES Mrs. Conrad Millar, Jack- man Road, has presented the Aldergrove and District News with a fifty-year old copy of "The Dally Telegraph", printed in Quebec in July 1908. It was given to Mrs. Miller's daughter, Leona, (Mrs. Jim French), by someone in Matsqui several years ago, and is the Tercentenary issue. The date is given as "July 19th to 31st 1908". The issue has forty-eight pages, without the covers, and none of them are numbered. Sir Wilfred Laurier was the Prime Minister and preparations were being made to welcome the Prince of Wales, later George V. Tremendous pageants were being prepared and the street decorations were particularity lavish. Something entirely new was being created to accomodate the huge crowds. It was called the "Tented City", situated on the Plains of Abraham, covered an area of 45 acres and was planned to provide accomodation for 5,000. The articles are mostly fairly long and many, many hours of research must have gone into their compilation. They covered such subjects asCan- ada's Debt to the Early French Missionary Fathers; The Seige of Quebec and her Heroes; Celebration in Honour of Quebec's First Bishop, Mgr. de Laval; Champlain - the Man; The Telephone - A Modern Necessity, and many others. At that time) a Commission had recently been set up to deal with the preservation of the Quebec Battlefields. A lengthy article covers the aims and plans of the Commission. AU the Quebec Governors from 1608 are listed. As well as American and French Naval Visitors, names. There Is an article on the French Nobility, in Canada. The "Official Visitors" list reads like the Court Circular in the "London Times". Under the heading It states:"Practi- cally every member of the Canadian Government is in Quebec and will remain during the stay of the Prince of Wales. Sir Wilfred Laurier and Lady Laurier are to be the guests of Lieut. Governor and Lady Jette at Spencer Wood, and the other Ministers are to stay with friends". "List of other distinguished guests and the various places they will stay lc very inclusive and in great detail. A sample of this list reads: The Hon. Mrs. Cowles (wife of the United States Admiral, and sister of President Roosevelt). CONTROL OF CUTWORMS, RE POTATOES By H. R. MacCarthy, Head, reaching the stage of maxi The young son of Mrs. Cowles" and so on. The advertisements are very interesting and more thun one can raise a chuckle. The "Imp- r 1 a 1 Bank" advertisement states that it's paid-up capital is $4,965,757.50, (note the 50 cents. For comparison,in 1956 this same item amounts to $11,200,000. The Ladies ma.y be more interested in the E. B. Eddy Co. Ltd. ad. This is the famous match firm but in those days they manufactured other things including washboards! The ad is in sections, one of which is headed: "About washboards". It urges the customer to buy only Eddy's, "Because Eddy's Washboards are the Only Boards made with the right-the "Eddy Crimp-a new wrinkle in the way of Crimping the Line in the Washboards". Another section states: "A Question Please: why do you keep on using those Wooden Pails and Tubs"? and goes on to urge people to,buy only those made of Eddy's "Fibre ware". The issue also includes many old plates of the history of Quebec and appears, very thoroughly, to cover the three hundred years of life of Quebec. If anyone would be interested in seeing this link with the past, would they call In at the office of the Aldergrove News. Crop Insect Section, Science Service Laboratory, Canada Department o f Agriculture, umbia. A serious situation has arisen, possibly as one result of the mild winter, in which cutworms of all ages are damaging crops, notably potatoes. The largest cutworms have wintered in the soil and are now about ready to pupate and become moths in late July and August. The smaller ones have hatched from eggs laid by the heavy flight of miller moths about a month ago. The cutworms have damaged early crop tubers left in the field overnight, and latest reports indicate that they are now attacking tubers underground where the tops have been maturing fast. Second Early and Late Crop Potatoes must be protected. The spray calendar recommendation is for 5 percent DDT dust at 35 lb. per acre. For liquid power sprayers, use 2 quarts of 25 percent DDT emulsion per acre; or 1 pint 05 percent chlordane emulsion per acre. Fields which have received u soil treatment for wlreworms and tuber flea beetle should not require special treatment for cutworms. However, if cutworms appear, the foregoing treatment may be applied. These treatments will de- finetly kill the cutworms when they come above ground to feed at night, even though some may still be seen alive 24 hours after dusting. The treatment has proved perfectly effective against heavy populations at UBC in the last 2 days. Where defoliation is becoming noticeable, dusting with a hand blower Is bettet than waiting for a sprayer, since many cutworms are mum feeding. Do not use DDT on garden crops such as Cabbage or Lettuce unless these are seedlings; use 1 percent derris dust, or three quarter pint 20 percent emulsion TEPP where plants are close to harvest. Slice bananas evenly and quickly by usig a pastry blend er. • • • Wash rhubarb stalks and cut them with scissors. This saves vitamins and the bright red color.

The Vicar, Rev. N. Calland conducted the Service, and gave a very interesting and thoughtful address on the work of the Order, in which he is very interested, and paid special tribute to the work being done by the Order at the Protestant Children's Home in New Westminster, which has been successfully operated by the Order, for many years, and which was started by the Ladies of the "True Blue" Lodges, members of which were among those who attended the Service. Marshall was Brother George Follis of Aid ergrove Lorge and a member of the True Blue Lodge. The County Lodge of Chilliwack is composed of the Loyal Orange Lodges at Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mt. Lehman and Aldergrove, all of which Lodges own their own Hall and hold monthly and other meetings in them. Aldergrove Loyal Lodge No. 2990 used to meet in Aldergrove in the early days, but advisable to move from the village, and a-piece of property was purchased from the late D. W.

In 1945 the Hall burned down early in July, and the cause of the fire was never satisfactorily ascertained, it was insured, and the Mutual Fire Insurance Company immediately paid. The Members used the Otter Public Community Hall for their meetings until a new hall could be built. This was done, but instead of a Wood Frame building being erected, it was decided to use Cement Blocks, and have a cement foundation, built on the previous site. Meetings are now held in this Hall every month by the LOL, and it is also used by the LOBA LILY OF THE VALLEY LODGE, which was formed soon after the LOL. The LOBA is still operating very successfully and doing valiant work for the Home and the Protestant cause, It is usual for the Orange Lodges to hold a Church Parade on a Sunday either before or immediately after the twelfth of July celebrations. The Celebrations are to be held at Stanley Park in Vancouver on the 12th to commemorate the Glorious Victory at the Battle of the Boyne in change, and had such lasting results in the Government of the Country, and the support of those Ideals for which King William III Prince of Orange, had been invited over to rule the Country, and they still stand for 'Equal Rights for ALL' and Special privileges to none', One School, One Flag and One Language. Anyone interested can get all the information required if they will write to the recording Secretary of the various Lodges or to the Master of the Lodge, and it is an Order to which all Protestants should belong.

New Progams On TV and Radio Two new series of programs are being introduced over C. B.U.T. and C.B.C. this month. The television show begins on Sunday, June 22nd at 4.30 pjm. The radio show begins on the following Tuesday, June 24th at 8.30 p.m. "The Living Sky", is the first of the series followed by "The Round World" and "Destiny in the Stars". Ever since one man first discovered that the law of Hydrostatics enforces aU water to find its own level, mankind has been divided into three classes: practical men, poets and scientists. And without all three the world would not have progressed far. Examples of these three attitudes toward nature can be seen in this series of tele vision programmes, which will explore man's attitudes to the sky down through the ages. Quoting from the C.B.C. Times it states, "A strong reaction to celestial events through history has been to interpret them as influencing man. Shakespeare's "When beggars die, there are no comets seen; "T h e heavens themselves blaze forth the death of a Prince", was probably a reference to a comet seen shortly after the death of Caesar in 44 B. C." The attitudes of all ancient peoples to the skies were by no means limitd to the superstitious. The Greeks, for instance, made acute astronomical deductions, Aristotle offered convincing proofs that the earth was round, proofs that were later forgotten or ignored. One was based on the fact that a star seems to sink on the horizon as you move away from it, a pheno menon easy to explain if the earth is round but not if it is flat". Continental Drift. "To take a more earthly example: some geologists entertain a theory called "the continental drift" which suggests that a eons ago a great land mass drifted apart forming North and South America on one hand, Europe and Africa on the other, with ttie Atlantic in between. An exam- stations across the country will now be able to knit the people of Canada more closely together through the "picture- window" of ■ television. Seven o f Canada's major telephone systems - three of them government-o p e r a t e d and the others privately-owned - pooled their efforts to construct the coast-to-c o a s.t backbone microwave network. The scores of long-haul telephone circuits the system provides will play an important roll in Canada's business progress and prosperity. Hundreds and even thousands more circuits can be carried on the same basic system as the need for them arises. The T r a n s-Canada Telephone System's "s k y w a y" comprises 139 relay stations spread over the 3,900 miles from Atlantic to Pacific, with spur lines adding several hundred additional miles, and over 30 more relay points. Canadian Pacific Communications and Canadian National Telegraphs Jointly provide television transmission to French network points in Quebec and to cities in southwestern Ontario. The microwave stations are spaced an average of 30 miles apart. The massive steel towers range in height from 50 feet to a 350-foot giant at Olive, 40 miles north of North Bay in Ontario. This tower weighs 120 tons and has concrete footings together containing 170 cubic yards of concrete. The towers are so sturdy that 100-mile-an-hour winds are unable to m a k e them sway enough to affect service. Huge antennae weighing 1,700 pounds and shaped like immense sugar-scoops are installed on most towers. The microwave signals are beamed from antenna to antenna like light from a beacon. Completion of the transcontinental microwave network will enable live television to be seen simultaneously i n 3,000,000 Canadian homes. There are, 50 licenced television stations in Canada. Eight are CBC stations, two are French and six English. Forty are privately owned. In addition there are stations at Goose Bay and Harmon Field, Nfld., operated by U. S. Air Force personnel for servicemen and civilians in these areas. The stations are, however, under CBC management. Television service is now available to some 80 per cent of the Canadian population.

The theory of the Continental Drift will be discussed on the radio series "Science Review". This will originate in Vancouver starting Tuesday, June 24th at 8.30 p.m. Those discussing the theory will be Drs. R. E. Deutsch and A. F. Schiedegger who are both research scientists in Calgary, Rr. J. A. Jacobs of the Department of Physics at U. B. C, and E. Irving, a Fellow of the Research School of Physical Sciences at the Australian National University in Canberra. Lister Sinclair will Intro duce the programme and Garth Nettheim will produce it.' Is This a Record? In the "Country Guide" for June, 1058, there is a picture of a Jersey cow which has been milking for 8 years with' out feshenlng. Her owner, Mrs. Margaret.Orr, of Alberta Park, Alberta, states that she keeps a family of five supplied with milk and cream and even some butter.' When this Jersey is on pasture, she produces about a gallon at each milking. The cow lost her calf in March 1952, when she slipped in a wet stall. The Orrs have never been able to breed her since, but the lactation has gone on and on, and the milk has never become unpalatable, as it often does under the circumstances. The cow Is now 15 years old. THE ALDERGROVE AND DISTRICT NEWS Aldergrove, B.
