A meter room was constructed but not used and three different times and in three different places concrete was poured ready for their installation. "All I'm interested Inlsflnd- ing out where the responsibility for the meters finally HeB," said Trevor Beggs, board chairman, as it was pointed out the matter would pass through four or five different hands and might make a complete circle again.

Presbyterians Plan Supper On Dec. 20 at 7 p.m., tha Beaver Presbyterian Church, at the corner of Coghlan and Roberts, will hold their annual Christmas gathering. This year, it will take the form of a Pot Luck Supper, each family taking a casserole and pie, and paying one dollar per family. This gathering Is open tq everyone and strangers would be welcomed. After the supper there will be a short program and the children will receive their Chrlstmas treats. ■ This church is shortly to hold an organizational meeting when a Young People's Society will be formed. The Beaver Presbyterian Church has grown quite rapidly in the past few years; Their new minister is the Rev. Allen who came from Trail. proval for the attendance of students from grades 7, 8, 9 to watch an afternoon game of basketball between Oakallfl and a team from Aldergrove High School, and thought the loss of work time by the students would be more than offset by the benefit obtained by the young offenders. The trustees also approved first by-law for a $425,000 issue of debentures al 4'/i per cent over 20 years. These debentures are now being printed in Victoria and will be ready by Dec. 17. Fort Langley school will be opened officially on Dec. 30 and invitations have been sent out. Mr. Graham, director of administration, will officiate. Work on the new school is going along well, said Mr. Hogerson. The roof was now approximately SO per cent completed, windows are on the site and being installed as was entrance door frames. The plumbing is progressing favorably, but the main problem is mud—no truck has been able to .get in without aid of bulldozer for the past three weeks. Next meeting will be held on Dec. 17. MtRCHANTSSET CHRISTMAS WEEK SHOPPING HOURS A heated debate featured the setting of hours during which stores will remain open during the Christmas season. A previous decision to close at the regular time on Saturday, Dec. 21 was overruled and the businessmen at the hurriedly called second meeting voted five to two, w'th two abstaining, to remain open. ' The decision means that Aldergrove shoppers will have Friday night, Saturday night and all day Monday, Dec. 23, until 9 p.m. to take advantage of the Christmas specials. Regular hours will prevail on Tuesday, Dec. 24. Dec. 25 and 26, stores and businesses will be closed all day but regular hours will be observed during the remainder of the week. During New Year's week store hours will remain as usual. In the week of Dec. 16 to Dec. 21 stores will only be open during regular hours. D '■ D Better'Than Average Prices At Market .

Mr. Norman, shown here with one of his 21 inventions at a convention in Winnipeg, says patience is needed but farmers could stop snow and hail if they didn't take too long to put in the crops and leave too much to summer fallow. —<CP Photo) 1957. Local Youth Tells Of Winter Fair Visit Carl Dorfllnger is back from his trip to the Royal Winter Fair with memories that will last a lifetime. One thing he noticed above all others .after his arrival was the age and mellowness of the buildings. HSiiaye one Knows at once that this is a much older part of Canada. These buildings include the Royal York Hotel, the Ontario Museum, the Legislative buildings and the Parliament buildings in Ottawa besides many lovely homes. The 4-H members were taken to the General Motors plant where. they saw a car "from start to finish." The Museum was another trip where each period of history is on a separate floor. Then came the Parliament buildings where they were allowed to sit in the seats of the Chamber Room. They were given jig-saw puzzles of Ontario here. They saw Toronto Maple Leafs play Boston Bruins and Carl was lucky enough to get Foster Hewitt's autograph. On the Sunday all the members went to church in a body, followed by a trip to Niagara Falls, where they went right beneath the falls. The 4-H boys and girls paid Prepare For Population Increase Chamber Warned a □t sociated with,: semblies. the local as- U.S. Vetoes Change In Border Hours Request of the Chamber of Commerce that a 24-hour service be established at the Aldergrove border crossing has been refused, members of the association were told ait then- Monday night meeting. The United States Bureau of Customs could not approve even if the Canadian government did, claiming that traffic had tended to be on the. decline since last July. Three new members were elected to the Chamber of Commerce, they are Eugene Haid, Eddie Lutz and Don Anson. Pantomime Will Feature Sputnik, Mutnik Comics A lively tradition of the. British stage will be presented in Langley Saturday, Dec. 14 at 8 p.m. in Langley High School Auditorium. A Christmas Pantomine patterned on the lines of the colorful musical productions which have provided seasonal entertainment to British theatregoers for the past 10 decades. Staged by the White Rock Players for the second year in Langley. This year's production will be "Blue Beard." A cast ot 40 la rehearsing the big show which like all pan- itomincs, Is a faroial fairy tale, with local gags, topical songs and specialty numbers. In true panto-style the part of the' principal boy is played by a girl. In this case, dancer Barbara Watts, well known to( Royal City audiences. Denis Meade, known for many funnyman roles at the White Rock Little Theatre, this time turns funny-woman, don- jiing skirts to play the traditional pantomine role of "the dune." Singer Irene Hokanson of North Surrey will play the romantic lead with Nell Primrose as "Blue Beard." Teamed as comedians are Don Johnson, and Bob Shearer, as Sputnick land Mutnick. Another tradition will be continued when director Franklin Johnson revives his hospital nightie number, "I'll Never Get Used To It." Langley Memorial Hospital Women's Auxiliary will sponsor the Pantomine and handle ticket sales. . plenty of attention to their main interests too. At several of the many banquets given by business concerns in their honor there were guest speakers, and the speeches were on such subjects as: "Leadership in the Rural Community" and "Agricultural Leadership and Canada's Interest in Inter- national Agriculture." The trip to the Royal Winter Fair provided a great deal of interest. Carl was talking to Bruno Giacommazzi for a few minutes but Bruno was too busy showing cattle to be able to say much. Carl spoke of the many judging rings at the Royal Winter Fair and how much larger it was than at the P.N.10. They saw all the grain championship trophies in a huge showcase and went to the Horse Show. Here they saw the Individual International jumping competition, miniature chuckwagon races and hunting horses complete with hounds and huntsmen. Then came the trip to Ottawa where they toured the Chateau Laurier, had a reception at Rideau Hall. Here His Excellency, Vincent Massey, spoke to them. Then on to the Parliament where the Hon. D. S. Harkness, Minister of Agriculture, welcomed them. The Prime Minister spoke to them, then they went to the House of Commons. Here, Carl said, he heard them discussing the Britannia Beach situation and the Mission Bridge. He also heard Tom Irwin speak. They went to the top of the Peace Tower and saw the magnificent view from there. They also saw the two Books of Remembrance. Another of Carl's observations was that the Easterners seemed quiet and did not take part as much as the Western- ers. For instance, the many banquets were chaired by different 4-H members and at only one banquet did an Eastern member take the chair. At all the others Westerners were chairmen, including Carl. FIRE OFFICIALS ATTEND PARLEY A meeting of Fraser Valley Firemen's Association was held at Brookewood Community Hall, Dec. 3. for Zone 5, Langley Fire Department. Two representatives from Aldergrove were present, Fred Dams and Charlie Haid. This Association serves a large area from Horseshoe Bay to Hope. Officers presiding were Slim Miller of Steveston and Alt Watson of Fort Langley, both of whom are Fire Chiefs. The evening was started by selections of music played by Fort Langley Volunteer Fire Dept. Band conducted by Roy Seney. , Among the more important discussions which followed were those on pensions of fire personnel and leakages from luel oil drums. About 75 members attended. The next meeting will be held at Sullivan on January 7. Where There's Smoke There Must Be Fire Every person in Abbotsford had a laugh. The local constable first {saw it — smoke coming from the Surrey Co-op Building. He duly reported it last Saturday evening—The fire siren went —everyone went, including three police cars and a fire truck. The .crowd grew and grew. The noise frightened the poor little sparrows far more than the fumigant which had been put down to get rid of them. They dispersed and so did the police and the firemen looking highly red, but the crowd laughed and loved it. D □ FORMER MEMBER SPECIAL SPEAKER AT GOSPEL CENTRE Paul Hildebrand, public works foreman of Kinnaird, B.C. was special speaker at the Family Bible Hour at Aberdeen Gospel Centre. He was formerly associated with the local assembly and helped with the Sunday School work here in Aldergrove before being transferred to the interior.

"We can expect an increase of population in the Lower Mainland of at least one hundred per cent in the next 19 years and this district will take, a large proportion of that increase," he said. There are two factors which could'play an important part.

ADVANTAGES HEBE New highways as well when opened up will have great bearing on shift of population. Particularly the new Trans- Canada Highway which is scheduled for completion by 1960. He pointed out the difficulties in furthering development in Burnaby, Surrey, Squamish and other municipalities due mostly to high cost of land, low lying sites, drainage, etc. The Langley project baa every advantage, land bought comparatively cheap — near new highway, natural gas line and Trans-Mountain pipe line — relatively fog free, good drainage and marginal farm land only. POPULATION INCREASE "The increase in population in Surrey from 1951-57 had been 300 per cent even without good highway access. Think what it could be here," he said, "and try to prepare for it. Zoning is important but not the entire answer. Control is needed against sprawl even in zoned areas. Industrial development would be located from ana. ot Livingstone- Road eastward to Matsqui border, north and south of the B.C. Electric Railway. TOWN ALREADY HERE There is the' nucleus vf a new town already here in Aldergrove and there was no need to plan for other towns in-the municipality. In reply to a question on the expected depth of industrial sites in the area Mr. Murrin pointed out that that depended largely on the terrain, but would be greater in the north Livingstone and north Jack- man areas where suitable land could be developed one and a half miles north and south of the existing rail track. BRADNER MOTHER HAS 14th CHILD The late Queen Mary "once stated that "womens greatest achievement is maternity" and Mrs. Benns of Bradner who has recently given birth to her 14th child can certainly be acclaimed for her self-sacrificing motherhood. Mrs. Benns, a neat quiet spoken woman, says that bringing up a large family in the city is difficult and .that is why the family moved to the country. The eldest daughter is married and living in Vancouver and a second daughter Is working there. The 12 other children are living at home, six of them attending school. Mrs. Benns' time is completely taken up with washing, droning, cooking and sewing and she has little time for leisure. In spite of the hard work and hardships of sickness and Accidents in the family, Mrs. Benns is 'known to remain even .tempered end has limitless patience with hex children. Shopping With Pleasure By KAY This is the second and last in the series of Shopping with Pleasure around the Aldergrove stores and the many fine novelties and bargains featured for the Christmas shopper. At Christmas time the stores to hoid a "dramatic and money making pre-Christmas sale." Aldergrove Business men who are notably active in community work end who give their time and money to build a better community have no such practices in their businesses. Merchandise is carefully selected and sold at fair prices. in the city are crowded to suf- fication, shoppers scurrying to and fro getting the burden of Christmas buying over and done with, which is a far cry from the spirit of giving which was inspired by the joyful occasion of the Nativity 1958 years ago. It wouldn't be surprising if in time, the Star of Bethlehem was replaced on the Christmas tree with a mounted bill of a large denomination and the lights which symbolize the light of The Saviour replaced by hanging silver dollars, because in all probability in most of the urban stores, prices have been raised previously in order O.O.R.P. HOLDS BIRTHDAY PARTY The regular meeting of the OORP was held in the Elk's Hall on Thursday evening. After close of business meeting the members retired to the basement where Mrs. M. Metz- ger and Mrs. Haid served delicious turkey dinner, the occasion being the 13th birthday of the Order. The birthday cake was made and beautifully decorated by Mrs. Ann Hurschman. Flowers for the tables were given by Mrs. Betty Loucks. There is a total absence of high pressure ' salesmanship and their friendly manner is conducive to the old-fashioned spirit of Christinas giving. So do your Christmas shopping in your own community where your businessmen give you a fair deal and save the wear and tear on your nervous system by avoiding the nerve racking mad rush of the urban stores. European Christmas celebrations are in some ways different from the Canadian way, particularly in the delicacies which are served over the festive season. It is only natural that a great many new Canadians will feel nostalgic around Christmas and recall the past years in their former homeland. The Aldergrove Hotel Cafe is featuring some of these European Christmas dishes as well as special family dinners.

THE ALDERGROVE HERALD—THURSDAY, DEC. 12, 1957 / FREE WORLD PERTURBED Reading the papers these days leaves a clear impression that the free world has a brackish taste in its mouth. Disenchantment, concern, uneasiness — these emotions form an underlying refrain in current editorial comment on the cold war, as seen through space-age spectacles. Commentators brooding on the destiny of mankind seem equally perturbed by Russia's satellite moons, the nuclear arms race and the alleged absence of leadership among western nations. In Britain, there is a malaise in domestic politics, a plague- on-both-your-houses spirit which costs the Conservative government votes, but gives little comfort to the opposition Labor party. Internal matters, however, cast only a fitful gleam, overshadowed by earnest debate on the basic question — how to prevent mass suicide. Author J. B. Priestley worries about the "somnambulism" of contemporary affairs. Earl Russell, the octogenarian philosopher, writes from his lonely eyrie in Wales, an open letter to President Eisenhower and Russia's Nikita Khrushchev, begging them to get together. "The supreme concern of men of all ways of thought," he writes, "must 'be to ensure the continued existence of the human race." Other voices deplore the vicious circle of the arms race, the search for an anti-missile missile, the "politics of the padded cell." There is disquiet at the illness of President Eisenhower, a protest against what is deemed to be the present inadequate leadership of the West. "The extraordinary thing," writes James Cameron in the News Chronicle, a London paper, "is that in these racking times every one of the major powers has been led by inadequate, fumbling and essentially mediocre people." In the Dally Mail, another London newspaper, Henry Faiilie speaks of the "almost total absence" of leadership in the West, and suggests that Sir Winston Churchill might be called out of retirement to make a single inspirational speech. In the Manchester Guardian, Richard Scott detects a growing feeling that Western governments have become "obsessed" with Russian achievements in production of nuclear weapons and missiles, and no longer have the time nor the will to consider a political approach to the problem of improving East-West relations. B. C. ELECTRIC ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF POWER TRANSMISSION LINE B.C. Electric has announced that its new power line through the historic Harrison Lake country has been completed and now provides the Lower Mainland with a second link to the company's largest power source, the 248,000 horsepower Bridge River Station. This super-high pressure transmission circuit-operating at 345,000 volts compared to 230,000 volts and less for major power lines — provides the Lower Mainland with increased power security. Should difficulty develop on one circuit, the other one would carry the load and permit Lower Mainland lights and electrical equipment to remain in operation. The new power line, which cost $15,000,000 has kept up to 400 men at work since August, 1953. DIFFICULT OPERATION Original power line, which continues to operate at 230,000 volts, feeds Bridge River power to the Lower Mainland through the Capilano Valley. The new 130-mile circuit extends from Bridge River to Creekside and then south to the Fraser Valley through Cancer Campaign Nets $450 The Cancer Campaign recently completed in the Aldergrove and Langley area was satisfactory although it fell short of the quota by a few dollars. Campaign captains in the Aldergrove area have been thanked by the campaign manager who was pleased with the results. In this area approximately $450 was raised and the team captains were Mrs. W. A. Johnston, Howes Road; Mr. D. P. Peters, Hollywood Road; Mrs. J. McFarlane, Otter Road; Mr. A. Angrignon, Jack- man Road, Mrs. II.. Robinson, Coghlan Road and Mrs. N. Green, County Line.

They will paddle up the Nicomekl river to Langley where, starting at 2 p.m., they will participate in the dedication of a new flagpole at the opening of the Kin Health Centre. They will camp overnight at Bella Vista, then portage five miles to Salmon River and continue to Fort Langley where they will arrive Sunday afternoon. FAST HOME FREEZER SERVICE The home of the bacon with the added flavor. A. P. FAST 25242 Bradahaw Read .(Beat of Otter Road) Phone Aldsrgrovo 4171 rugged mountain country that only a century ago was dotted by gold-seeking miners. The line merges five miles east of Rosedale with the recently completed 345,000 volt line from the 82,000 h.p. Wah- leach generating station, near Hope. The new circuits bring the power down the Fraser Valley to Ingledow Terminal station in Surrey, which is the main receiving terminal for the Vancouver metropolitan area. Construction of the new Bridge River line involved a difficult clearing operation, installation of tower foundations, erection of more than 700 steel towers and finally the winching into position of the steel- core aluminum conductors. But before the various work crews could begin their tasks, a difficult supply system had to be devised. ACCESS ROAD BUILT Construction materials were transported up Harrison Lake on barges from Harrison Hot Springs. A system of logging roads provided access up the west side of Harrison Lake to within seven miles of Fort Douglas. North of Fort Douglas* another access road was driven through as far as Creekside. Parts of the original Cariboo Trail, built by miners heading for the Cariboo goldfields 100 years ago, were used in creating the portion of the access road between Lillooet and Harrison Lake. Concrete, steel, line hardware, huge reels of aluminum wire — all had to be hauled through this magnificent but formidable country by 'barge, •truck and manpower. All this added up to an expensive construction program. Also adding to the cost, the extremely heavy voltage planned for the circuit required six conductors instead of the standard three. This is a new development In electrical engineering that, greatly steps up the efficiency and capacity of the line. i This extra capacity and efficiency will be essential to carry the additional 345,000 horsepower which will be harnessed when the $59,000,000 second stage development at Bridge River is completed in 1959. It means that B.C. Electric customers will be able to draw on a toal of 681,000 horsepower from the Bridge River area alone. And they'll have the added security of two independent power lines bringing this power to them.

FERGUSON'S COLD STORAGE LOCKERS war SfclXBEEF.TORK and LAMB IN HALV APPEAL That new kitchen wizard— the electronic oven — is destined to revolutionize cooking before long. "Heatless, odourless, rocket-speed cooking 'a la electronics' is a reality," says Mary Louise Bertois of Hamilton, head of the home economics department and test kitchen of and appliance manufacturing company. "Cookbooks will come in for considerable revision and a completely new set of rules will have to be adopted. Cooking by electronics is dons by time—not temperature—and is just doesn't conform to traditional ideas." The oven also presents the homemaker with food that has a tasty brown appearance due to a browning unit in the top of the oven.

'CURLING WINDOWS" Professional marriage coun- seUors and advisers to the lovelorn are giving interesting Ups for 'curling windows' on how to cope with the lonliness they may feel—and that is to take a keen interest themselves in the grand old game. First of all look pleased or pained as the occasion warrants when your curling husband recounts his victories or defeats. And if you are handy with the knitting needle why not sew last year's championship crest on the sweater. This is guaranteeed to make a hit. Try to prepare dinner early so that the sport of the family can get to the club in time, and show your sweet disposition no matter what hour he chooses to return. Above all take into consideration your husband's superstitions, according to Ken Watson's book on curling. Don't complain if the curler refuses to change his socks or long underwear as long as his team IHtPiPl&L *'"'* th-o^oiartrnnirl Is winninA_And_don't relegate | "it's just a matter of revising — even handkerchiefs to the laundry or cleaners until their magic spell has worn off. And if none of these suggestions help toward seeing one's husband at least one evening a week there is one more solution. Take up the "grand old game" in self-defence! GETTING READY Before the cold weather comes, gather Christmas decorations in the woods. Pine cones and dried twigs can be tipped with white paint and used to dress-up gift packages or the Christmas tree. / ' FOR YOUR (HMMA? mm MARSHALL WELLS STORES BEGGS HARDWARE ALDERGROVE, B.C.

Students can be heard saying A.H.S. has no school spirit, or A.H.S. has a lot of school spirit, or any number of remarks along the same line. I couldn't outline all the things that make it up, but one of them namely, the desire to support school teams, was displayed by the 22 who ran for cheerleaders. The response to .the call for entries showed that there is lots of school spirit in Aldergrove High. All the participants are to be congratulated. It was hard to choose eight out of the contestants, but the ballots showed the choice of the student body to be: Barbara Quiring, Betty Granholm, Carol Kazakoff, Kris Johansen, Gail Skolas, June Probert, Jim Wandler, and Keith Johnston. All basketball teams have been practising and the Senior Boys team have already had a game with Oakalla. That they lost this game material, the fact that the boys have enough school spirit to practise and play on a school team is more important. When the Oakalla team comes here PAWS and CLAWS By WF.NDY There are still one or two more things in connection with the small single dog kennel that I was talking about last week. Always supply a raised board for the dog to lie on outside. He doesn't want to be inside all the time, on the other hand he does not want to lie about on the damp cold ground. This resting board can be just in front of the kennel or a little way from it—to one side. Wherever it is, make sure it gets the sun for the longest possible time also that it is slightly tilted backwards to allow surplus water to run off after a rain storm. Most dogs like this bed at least 18 inches to two feet off the ground so that they can jump up on it, if the whole kennel is in such a position that for a return game the story they can watch everything go might be quite different. I on around them, they will lie Rexo/ifes Top Team At Recent Bowling Rexolites siole the show at the Abbotsford Bowling Alleys, Wednesday night, Dec. 4, when they topped the other nine teams from Aldergrove with a score of 3130.

Phone Abbotsford 8121 for hours quiet, content and happy. EXERCISE IMPORTANT Exercise is a very important item and you should see that your dog is off the lead for a run at least twice and if possible, three times a day. If you live in a farming country where valuable livestock graze or poultry range free these walks must be supervised. A dog does not have to chase sheep or chickens to cause damage, the mere act of appearing through a hedge unexpectedly or coursing a rabbit or hare across a field is enough to cause panic in these creatures. The dog is not to blame, to hunt rabbits is natural to him. It's his owner's responsibility to keep him from worrying neighbors. Its surprising how time can be found to escort him for a walk if you try. Quarter of an hour after the children have gone to school and before the work of the day starts in earnest walking, the dog will not only do the dog the world of good, but also the house-bound house-wife. Try it for a week and your dog will keep you up to it and I can assure you, you will feel better for it. INSTRUCT- CHILDREN Take a stick or ball and let him really stretch his legs. If you have to go along a highway to a field or open space, you must take him on the lead. No matter how well trained a dog is, he should always be on the lead on the highway. If you live in the country you may be able to take him free all the way, but do teach him that you are taking him for a walk, he is not taking you. Always keep him within controlling distance. When the children come home from school make.it their duty to take him for a romp, but impress upon them that he is their responsibility, taking care of him and bringing him home safely, returning him to his kennel and seeing that his supply of water is fresh and clean. A yard dog so treated with a good warm bed to go to is not going to keep the entire neighborhood awake by barking at night or be the whinning same sight that one often sees on the end of chain. If you are not prepared to give just this small amount of time and effort to your dog it is better that you do not keep one. Another thing I have seen done, that I feel is wrong, is to have your dog indoors with you all the evening in the warm or in front of the fire then to put him outside last thing. If he's been in with you so long why not let him stay for the night in a box under the kitchen table or in some corner, but if he is an outside dog keep him as such, in that way he will acclimatize himself to the conditions and will not catch cold, but if you have him first in and then out nature will give up the unequal struggle and you will have sick dog on your hands. Junior Choir Starts Christmas Festive Season Next Saturday, Dec. 14 should see the beginning of Christmas festivities in the community, when the Aldergrove Junior Choir hold their Christmas Carol Festival in the United Church Hall, at 8 p.m. The program has been designed on the lines previously given so successfully, with the first part consisting of Christmas Carols and songs, and poems recited by the younger members of the choir. There will be the familiar carols such as "O Holy Night," and songs like "Jingle Bells," and the audience will be invited to join in some of the carols. The second half of the program consists of a pageant, "Carols are more than Music," telling the story behind some of the well-known tunes such as "Away in a Manger", ending with the NatWjity scene under the Bethlehem Star. As in the past, admission to the concert will be free, as the choir would not like to feel any family could not come -because of an entrance fee, but the audience will be Invited to give to the collection which will go to the provision of gowns for the Sunday School section of the choir, and also to contribute an amount towards the clearing of the debt still remaining on the Memorial Hall. For this reason it is hoped to exceed the last year's generous total of $168. During the performance the audience will have an opportunity of seeing the senior section of the choir, in their Church gowns which they wore for the first time at the special Family Service on the last Sunday of November in the United Church, Aldergrove. Light refreshments will be served to the audience at the conclusion of the concert. The whole evening personifies the Christmas spirit, and a capacity audience is expected. Canada Through An Immigrant's Eyes By HENRY HANSEN When you immigrate into a foreign country—as I did— you will always find things with which you do not quite agree. Each country has its own customs and ways of living, and this will no doubt be more obvious to an Immigrant than to the native of the country. I will admit, however, that I should miss Canada if I were to go back to my own country. Here I will mention a few of the facts which in my opinion are contributing to form this country—Canada. Vancouver, not down-town, but the Main Street and Kings- way district, this atmosphere of traffic, lack of sidewalks as soon as you leave the main streets, ithe obvious signs of a too hasty development, cars dominating the traffic, and the unmistakable signs of a tremendously increasing production, i Let us take a walk down Kingsway; We do a little window-shopping in one of the big stores, the goods displayed have two prices, the regular price and the sates price, yes, you are able to buy things at bargain prices, people like it although everybody knows, the seller as well as the buyer, that the regular price indicated has never existed, it is just some kind of an advertising technique, WHAT A LINEUP A little further on, after having passed eight, or was it 18, used-car lots you start sniffing, yes, sure, the mild smell comes from a drive-in and waiting- line restaurant where people are waiting for 15 minutes to get a bite, so that they do not get hungry during the 10 minute drive, before they reach home with the fridge and electric burner. Of course, part of the line is made tup of the baggy-shirt and too-tight-pant characters. Kingsway-Vancouver, Burn- aby and New Westminster, not farther than from car-lot to car-lot, but far enough to give you a full impression of the Canadian city, with the lights, traffic, stores and — competition, and can you expect >$^ PRE-XMAS SALE gj COMPLETE GREASE JOB $1.00 Completely Overhauled FORD ENGINE New Pistons, Etc $125 HEADY FOH INSTALLATION BRADNER, B.C.

Al Fast Was master of ceremonies for the concert while Alan Moberg sang in his own particular style to open the Herald Slogan Contest Extended The Herald's competition has been extended until Jan. 30, at the request of the Chamber of Commerce as it was felt wider publicity should be given to the contest. The competition open to Aldergrove students, carries a cash prize of $25 for the best Slogan—ten words or less — considered most appropriate to Aldergrove, program. He was accompanied by Qave Friesen and his electric guitar. Then followed a pantomime entitled "A Day on the Farm' and acted by Div. One pupils of Otter school. Marlene Greer, in smart costume, gave a baton solo. Dave Richter. and Winston Cross rendered musical selections on the accordion and guitar. Young Robert Karr tap danced to the seasonal music of "Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer." Linda Smith supplied two attractive Scottish dances. Mr. Usher sang comic songs, while Mr. Hunter gave a reading. Judy and Karen Zazula rendered two of their popular novelty duets. During the intermission, coffee, doughnuts and candy were sold and the cake walk proved to be a popular attraction. more, especially on a Friday evening. All this is something from which you want to get away as soon as possible, but which you will iniss after a short time. However, this alone is not Canada, let us drive on this same Friday evening, out on the Trans-Canada Highway with the cars bumper to bumper, cars with people who are hurrying away for a distant weekend place, some of the cars with boat trailers. And Sunday night they return completely tired out after the holiday. PEACE AT LAST I continued on the Highway, then went down a side road for a quarter of a mile, and here I will prefer to stay. The place and the air is good; the sun tan whirl) the children lost in the gus fumes on Kingsway is back, the children got a knowledge of the nature, the animals, and the happiness, far better than if they had been taught in school in town. However, this is not all. When in town you felt somewhat embittered, but not until you moved out here have you been able to appreciate the Canadian people. People out here have got more time, also to show their real value, and after having experienced this, I often wish that all people were as they are out here, because if that was the case there would be no more wars. If I had been in the same predicament in town, as I am now, without a job—in spite of a good trade—I should no doubt have been cursing my fate. Although the prospects for the winter are bad, I have some kind of an optimistic feeling which I should not have been able to get in town. Even here everything is Canadian; regular prices and sales prices, super markets and service stations, traffic, etc., but something is missing, which we however, do not need, i.e. numerous car lots and the drive-in restaurants with their waiting lines. I suppose you would find it further along on the Highway, the name of which is Trans- Canada, the Highway which runs from Kingsway in the West to the Atlantic in the East and which shows its face, which is Canada, and which neither old nor new would miss. But, for my family and for me, Aldergrove is our Canada — thank you, Aldergrove! Heated Debate Features Meeting , A resolution submitted by the Agossiz-Harrison Board of Trade proved a controversial subject when presented at the last meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade at the Agassiz- Harrison hotel, according to J. E. Fairholm, president of the Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce who attended. Debate became heated resulting in a tie vote with chairman Frank Wil3on of Chilliwack casting the deciding vote. After nearly an hour and a half debate the first part of the resolution, dealing with stumpage rates being too high to make it profitable to the industry, was passed. Second part which dealt with ownership of logging roads was defeated as memberB felt the cure might create more harm than the original. The resolution from Aldergrove which sought increased federal grants to hospitals passed without debate, J. E. (Jack) Scott and Bill Brown attended .the meeting along with Mr. Fairholm. DATES SET FOR PTA MEET Plans are taking shape in designing the British Columbia Parent-Teacher Federation annual convention which will be held in the Oak Bay Junior High School In Victoria, April 9, 10, and 11, 1958. Mrs. J. Zelmer, convention chairman, is already finalizing plans for an outstanding annual meeting. Mrs. E. Wills, President, Victoria Parent- Teacher Council and convention city chairman, promises extensive hospitality to delegates. Beaver Members Hold WI Dinner Friday last the members of the Beaver Women's Institute held a turkey dinner for themselves and their husbands. Thirty-six were able to be, present and the delightful meali was sincerely appreciated. Rod Caplette, expressing the thanks of the husbands. The tables were very attractively arranged and decorated. Party Held Birthday party was held for Philip Hope last Friday afternoon on the occasion of his sixth birthday. Invited guests were his fellow students at Aberdeen Public School and some of the neighbors. The birthday cake was decorated with pink flowers and yellow trimmings and six little candles. 1956 Weather Summary The 1957 issue of the bulletin "Climate of British Columbia" which contains tables of temperature, precipitation, and sunshine for the year 1956 has just been received.
