Automobile Association. Wet leaves on the pavement can cause dangerous skidding and burning leaves at the roadside are source of smoke screens which migli'. hide playing children. "Watch for these conditions and drive accordingly," says Harry Duker, the 'chairman of BCAA Traffic and Safety committee. The department now under File Chief Fred Dams hos established an enviablt record, and the district has during the past year had an all-time low in fire losstt chiefly through the educational campaign of the chief and the members of she department.

The meeting called tor the Naval station drill hall Tuesday night, which should have been well attended by the parents of the potential 15 new cubs in attendance, proved a disappointment to the officials in charge. The original cub mack is filled to capacity and in order to meet the needs of the community a second pack was formed but it lacks a sufficient Bertram Creek Cleaning Asked The municipal council will await the report of its engineer before coming to any decision on the petition submitted by a number of property owners to have Bertram Creek cleaned out. BUI Buxton on behalf of the property owners between County Line and Jackman roads told lh|e council that clearing the creek would prevent flooding of the low lying areas and resultant property damage. The creek cleaning request has been before council several times in the past end while it was admitted the creek is in bad shape the cost of cleaning it would be too high. Reeve William Poppy told the petitioners it would be impossible to do the Job with a tractor but Mr. Buxton contended the creek could be cleaned with a dragline. Councillor Flowerdew told the members he was ot the opinion that some work should be done in an attempt to drain the area, number ot parents willing to serve on the sponsoring committee. This new pack will have the facilities of the naval drill hall for training purposes unequalled anywhere else. Membership as has been stressed before is not confined to the children of navy personnel but is open to all of the smaller boys of the district who cannot be taken on the strength of the present cub pack. There are competent cub leaders on hand who have been working hard on forma- tion of the new pack, but unless the parents of the boys attending show more interest in this second pack the task will be doubly difficult. Another meeting for the parents has been called for next Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in one of the committee rooms of the naval drill hall and an urgent appeal has been made for fathers and mothers to turn out and lend their support to this most worthy enterprise. The Otter District Farmers' Institute held their Annual Table Show, Wednesday 23 October 1957 in the Orange Hall at Otter.

Coyne of the contracting firm of Coyne and Radcliffe announced. At the same time he pointed out the the new 22- room school will be the first where each room will have a self-controlled unit for heating. Another first for the school will be the installation of colored "chalk boards, in each room," said Alex Chisholm of Construction Products who explained these new type boards will do much to eliminate eye strain among the students. Exhaustive research throughout Canada and the United States have produced some amazing facts he said and a varied colored board plan will be used in different grades. Green has been found most advantageous for those children in the primary grades. Green for grades three to six and brown or coral for grades seven to 12. All colors have small light reflectivity compared to the old style green black board which had a re- fectivlty of from 50 to 55 per cent, he concluded.

Social Night Happy Affair Considering the number of conflicting attractions there was a very good attendance at the Beaver W.I. Social Evening on Saturday last. The first part of the evening was spent playing whist, then a short program was presented before continuing the whist.

They were accompanied on the guitar by their aunt, Mrs. Wayland, of Everett, Wash.

The children present played checkers and card games, a radio provided game scores and music, but the hall could not be c)osed before Mr. Ben Simpson and Mr. Green finished a most important game of checkersl Meet Your Neighbor By KAY BELL ARTHUR AND LAURA GOLDSMITH A name synonomus with the growth and dtvtloptmtnt of Aldergrove is that of Goldsmith. For 73 yean the Goldsmiths, have served the community and contributed greatly to the culture and wtlfaie of the community in which the senior Goldsmiths chose to make their home nearly three- quarters of a century ago. An architect versed in the most modern styles and methods of building construction of his day Arthur Goldsmith came to the wilderness of Aldergrove from his native England in the year 1884 to rough-hew from the giant cedar trees a home for his wife Fire Destroys Bradner Home BRADNER— Fire completely destroyed the new home of Mr. and Mrs. W. Connor sarly Monday afternoon including all the furniture and personal effects of the young couple married just a few years. Mrs. Connor was working in the garden about 2.30 p.m. when she heard a noise in the house and making a desperate attempt to enter was forced back by the flames. The house was covered by insurance though Mrs. Connor's engagement ring ad many cherished wedding presents were destroyed. Cause of the fire is undetermined The Matsqui fire department responded to the call as did an Aldergrove department official but it was out of their fire zone. Smoke from the fire could be seen from Aldergrove. Reader Service Increased In order to increase its news coverage of many important meetings hold on Mondays and Tuesdays, The Htrald hat changed lis publication day from Wednesday to Thursday of each week. Previously. The Htrald. owing to its early deadline was unable to bring up-to-lhc.-riinuto reports of municipal council and school board meetings.

Laura and four children who joined him here a year later. The original home of the Goldsmiths was built with split cedar for walls and cedar shakes for the roof. The land was cleared with the aid of oxen and blasting powder made from gun powder was used to remove the stumps. The site on North Jackman Road was gradually converted into a fair sized workable farm, with the help of the Goldsmith sons, ACTIVE IN COMMUNITY In spite of his heavy farm duties Arthur Goldsmith Sr. found time to take an active part- in community affairs and become the first Justice of the Peace in Aldergrove, but as oldtimers say he is remembered as a wise councillor and he willingly accepted the burden of solving all the troubles of the community which were brought to him. Arthur Goldsmith Sr. died in 1905 and his son Arthur took over management of the farm. Shortly after the death of Mrs. Laura Goldsmith in 1937 Arthur Goldsmith Jr. and his wife sold the farm and moved into Aldergrove where they have resided for the past 20 years. Mr. Goldsmith like his father before him was also active in service to the community reaching over a half century. He was a member of the municipal council and a school trustee in earlier years. DISTRICTS FIRST TEACHER Mrs. Goldsmith who came to Aldergrove in the year 1895 as a teacher at the old Douglas school on North Jackman road, was one of the first teachers in the district.

Plan Now for the Future The Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce in its efforts to have the municipal council start immediately on a zoning plan for the whole of the municipality should meet with little or no opposition from any right thinking resident who can with just a little imagination, visualize the future without such an overall plan. One has only to look westward toward Vancouver, New Westminster, Burnaby and even North Vancouver to see what results when city and municipal councils delayed action too long and industry and homes arose side by side. Too late they have realized their folly and are now spending millions to remedy a situation which had it been studied and plans laid accordingly could have been averted. Vancouver's vascillating councils with their dead slow, stop and reverse attitude and decisions have become the laughing stock of the Lower Mainland. The metropolitan planners have also come up against the same situation, they have started work too late and remedial steps will cost money which the taxpayers never did appreciate. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT EXPECTED It is all very well to say the same situation could not exist in this municipality, but they said that too in those other municipalities not so many years ago It has been pointed out that here in the valley there is plenty of land for both homes and industry. True, but industry picks carefully the land which it wants to use, and once industry chooses a site others are quick to follow if everything necessary to their establishment is within easy reach. The Chamber of Commerce zoning committee in its representations to the municipal council has pointed out the urgency of the situation, and has expressed the opinion, that unless action is taken in the immediate future this municipality may lose out on the industrial trend to move out of the cities and find itself by-passed. As far as zoning is concerned, industry, business and the home owner are all vitally interested. But, as Shakespeare puts it, "If 'twere done, 'twere best 'twere done quickly." The Editor's Forum Sir—Your leading editorial in Wednesday's issue under the caption "This Is Your Paper" will* surely bear fruit if you come to a realization that the world is changing, "time makes ancient good uncouth." In order to open up new channels of thought we must entirely remodel our whole conception of the past. The literary style of journalism needs rehabilitation. Editorial domination seems to be the order of the day. A free press doesn't add footnotes to correspondent's letter, "the opinions expressed are those of the writer." Most papers are paradoxically anti-labour and out of tune with the shape of things to come and posterity. Advertising isn't the life line of a newspaper unless a substantial circulation is assured, It's the public which keeps a paper in circulation and not capital, in the words of the late Abraham Lincoln, "Labour is iar superior to capital, without labour capital would not exist.'' Publication of all letters to the Editor regardless of expressed opinions is a sure way of increasing its circulaiion, Free discussion is the only way to progress, knowledge and enlightenment. Here's wishing you the best of luck. R. H. LLOYD Sir — First and foremost I wish to extend congratulations and best wishes to the Herald. As a newcomer to the district of Aldergrove I feel a newspaper will help us newcomers to know more about the community and the people in it. In your editorial titled "buy at home and save" you gave the impression that the prices in the local stores might be a little higher than in the stores in the city. Having just moved here from the city I am able to judge the prices fairly accurately and I would say they are the same as in the city, so any one driving to the city actually would be paying a higher price if the gas was included in the price of the article. A SUBSCRIBER. Sir — I read a copy of the Herald and I liked the paper very much. You say in your editorial that the Herald will champion the cause of the people. Well I think you can start right now by writing something about the poor sidewalks in Aldergrove. I don't know who is responsible for the sidewalks but whoever is We recommend . . .

CLUB MET The Birthday Club met at the home of Mrs. Crozier last Wednesday to celebrate Mrs. Andy Jackman's birthday. Her birthday was celebrated early as she is leaving soon for a visit to England. The ladies enjoyed an afternoon of whist, with first prize going to Mrs. Crozier and consolation prize to Mrs. Pat Fowles.

The write-up in last week's paper about Mr. Money and the birds was very interesting, but he is not the only one in the district that goes in for the taming of the wild. Mr. John Viser also takes interest in wild animals. He has a pet raccoon, several pigeons, rabbits, banty rooster, and several other small animals. At present he is busy moving his pets down to Mr. and Mrs. Smorenbergs, as he is preparing to leave on a trip to Holland in the near future Pioneers Leave Mr. and Mrs. Jim Skea, members of a pioneer family in the Coghlan area, left the family place last week for residence on Carvolth Road, in Lapgley. The property was recently sold under the land development scheme being carried on in this area.

Household Hints If your feet are cold at night, an ingenious method to overcome the blankets from becoming untucked is by using blanket clamps manufactured for the use of baby's crib. Clamping the blankets on each corner of the bed Is a work saver too, as the bed is much easier to make. To keep cookies soft, place them in a can with loose cover. Don't mix soft and crisp cookies as the crisp ones will become soft. To crispen cookies place them in a low oven for a few minutes. A teaspoon of currie will add test to tomato soup. Try it with other kinds of soup, with tomato dishes or sprinkled lightly over scrambled eggs. The Women's Page Education For Youth Vital Need, P. T. A.

He has been the friend of man for centuries, serving him well, yet retaining a certain element of wildness, and a great ability lo fend lor himself. No other domestic animal .ias managed to preserve lib regal independence in the same way as the Cat. Man,, by careful breeding has produced some magnificent specimens. The lordly Siamese with his china blue eyes and short, plush-like coat, the wonderful blue, cream and chinchilla long-haireds with orange and green eyes are all great tributes to the breeders art, but they are all still cats. CARE NECESSARY The care and treatment of these animals is the same, Whether they arc pedigreed or not. One good meal a day, with a drink of milk in the morning, a dish of clean water always available, will keep an adult cat in good hard condition. A nice, cosy bed and an occasional groom with a stiff brush lo remove louse hairs and dust. Food should be varied. Fish and meat, cooked or uncooked, with a little biscuit meal or dried bread. There are also some excellent tinned foods to choose from, so don't let your cat's food become boring. Kittens need more attention —they should be fed three BE WISE BEFORE THE EVENT Join Our Convenient Layaway Club $1.00 Holds Any Item ROWLEY'S JEWELRY Phone Aid. 3031 limes a day until 4-5 months, then twice a day until 12 months; after that they can be considered adults. Milk and cereal first thing, then meat or • fish meal mid-day, milk again at night. An egg beaten up in the milk once or twice a week is a good thing. See that the kitten has a nice, warm bed to sleep in. A cardboard carton from the local store, with a few sheets of newspaper and an old blanket or sweater make an excellent bed. TRAINING Training a kitten to be clean is very easy. Get u shallow box (an old seedling box is ideal), quarter fill il with fine dry earth, sand or ashes. A sheet of newspaper on the bottom makes it easy to clean out. Place the kitten in the box immediately after food until he understands what is wanted and provided you make sure the box is always within easy reach and is clean, he will use it. At the age of about three months males should be castrated and females spayed. Do please go to a qualified vet. It is usual to worm kittens at about this age, and your vet will give you the necessary tablets and instructions. Ear canker is sometimes a troublesome thing. Get some canker oil from the druggist and pour a few drops into both ears. Next day when the wax has softened, remove it with cotton wool. Repeat this for a few days and the canker will soon clear up. Fleas and lice will attack the best kept pets now and then. They are easy to clear with a good insect powder. A word of warning: Please make sure before you buy that the powder is suitable for cats. The cat's habit of licking himself makes the use of many insect powders a very risky business. It should say on the label whether it is safe for cats. On the whole cats are very healthy creatures,. but should one get sick, remember that heat, quiet and rest are the best healers.

Firemen Battle And How!! Firemen "battled desperately" Saturday night, through a heavy smudge before bringing a fire under control. The department under Fire Chief Dams made a record run to the scene and spent some time before discovering they had been set deliberately by a works department workman.

Development of a national highway program and a new highway financing policy on a federal - provincial basis was urged in Ottawa Oct. 29 by the Canadian Automobile Association. A delegation of auto club officials representing nearly 500,000 car owners made the proposals in a brief presented to Public Works Minister Howard Green. The brief, an updated version of proposals made a year ago to the then Works Minister Robert Winters, asked the federal gov't to assume more responsibility and leadership in developing a hi-way program. To instigate an entirely new I financing policy by revisinf. plans to meet the immediat! and future needs of the Trans- Canada Highway, by contributing 50 per cent to all arterial highways and by assuming 1/3 >the cost of access roads to and through urban centres with municipal and provincial gov- erments each lo assume another third.

FRED KITCHEN The Commanding Officer and men of HMCS Aldergrove wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the Aldergrove Herald on the commencement of a weekly newspaper in this thriving community, and wish them every suc- je.is in the coming years. Due to service reasons it is not always possible for officers and men of the Navy to really participate in all community activities, but in our us.ially short periods here we will endeavor to further the excellent relationship which now exists between civilian and sailor, and a newspaper is the finest medium that exists to carry out this aim and we hope our small contribution to this column will be of some interest. Flu (which variety we don't know) is invading our little ship and striking out a few men, but it is not serious at present, due mostly to the efforts of CPO Plastow, who Is u.ing all the armament ot his PTA MEETING president of the Reel Cross, until she resigned six months ago, lo allow u younger woman to take over the heavy responsibility of office. A talented artist Mrs. Goldsmith taught he youngsers of he district to paint and drow. She gave sense of appreciation of art to those who did not have artistic talent and helped develope he talent of those who had. No ask if it was to help further the cultural, social or welfare of the community was too great or too small for the Goldsmiths. Authur and his wife are the only members of the Goldsmith still residing in Aldergrove. Edward another son moved to Chilliwack. The daughters, Mrs. Anna Mcintosh lives in New Westminster and the late Mrs. Owen resided in Bradner until her death last year. command to repel this unwanted boarder. Leading Seaman Norman and family will be leaving next week for sea duty, and we wish him and his family good sailing. Petty Officers Oja and Sutherland will be returning to their billets in the ship shortly from courses in the east. WHO DRAINED LAKE? An amusing incident took place over the last week-end when two of our ardent sportsmen proceeded approximately 120 miles to a certain lake to find on their arrival "somebody" had drained the lake and didn't tell them. How about it, Mr. Mcgee and CPO Brown? The saying must be true that "all nice girls love a sailor," when proof such as the wedding of Leading Seaman Leslie Staples to Miss Evelyn plane Doerksen of Abbotsford, 10 take place on Nov. 16, 195? jt the Trinity Lutheran Church in Abbotsford, and we hope the splice will hold against all storms forever. We heard also that Leading Seaman Barry Montgomery tied the knot, but the details are not available at present, but yours truly met the bride lo be and Barry is sure a lucky boy. Congratulations to both! The winds and gales and snow may come to married quarters this winter, we hold no fear for the oil furnaces are with us and rejoicing is three-fold among the women folk—they will only have to turn a little dial and the heat is upon them.
