IN ALDERGROVE 1885 Pioneer Man Dies Alderg Aged rove 86 A member of one of the very tint families ln Aldergrove passed away on December 20 In Vancouver. He was Arthur Kessen Goldsmith and was nearly 88 years of age. At the time the "Legend of Langley" was compiled for the Centennial year Mr. Goldsmith told the story of his family and their arrival in Aldergrove. In the story he says that his father, A. P. Goldsmith, in the early part of 1884, pre-empted on land which later became the district of Aldergrove. The senior Goldsmith came to prepare some sort of a home fo'r his wife and four chUdren of whom A. K. was one. At that time this part of the country was unorganised and both Provincial and dominion Governments wen disputing over ownership of the land. Then wen no side roads, leading from the Old Yale and a trail had to be slashed out, avoiding the swamp places but wide enough for a mule to get through and pack In supplies.

There was only one small house here besides their partially built one, when they got here. In relating his story A. K. Goldsmith mentions that "Very few of the original settlers were able to stand the hard going, and moved to pastures new." Mr. Goldsmith married the first teacher at the old Douglas School which was built on' North Jackman, close to Watson Road. Besides his wife, Alice, the late air. Goldsmith leaves a daughter, Miss Alice I. K., of Vancouver; two grandchildren and one brother, Edward H., of Chilliwack; one sister, Mrs. A. N. Macintosh of New Westminster. His son, Arthur (Kay), was killed ln a logging accident a little more than two years ago. The funeral was held at St. Dunstan's Anglican Church, Aldergrove, on. Friday, December 23, with Rev. Norman Calland officiating. Interment followed ln the Aberdeen Cemetery. Flood Damage On Howes Road Following a complaint to CouncU of bad flooding on the BeUingham Highway resulting from overflow from the Bertrand Creak, the Works Superintendent has recently made a survey of properties concerned. After examining the Creek from Jackman Road to Coghlan Road, fee found that no one waa suffering IU effects for the tint -9ansaasBrSF *^^wfr^f*v,'^v^i^^J3niaWn' over unoccupied land. Tin next mile crossed the property of J. Wytenbroek, who stated that be did not wish to take part ln any water drainage scheme but water from here was overflowing onto land of one of the complainants, A. J. Van Dlepen. On this land flooding was bad as lt was entering his barns and damaging his fields over quarter of a mile before crossing Bellingham Highway by a 6 ft. culvert. On the other side of this road serious, flooding occurred on Klassen's farm, the J. Enns property and the Danby farms owned by Mr. Lambert. W. O. Merrell told CouncU that Messrs Van Diepen, Enns and Klassen were agreeable to have work done under the same conditions as on the .ditch south of Aldergrove. He suggested that there would be approximately 2Vj mUes of ditch to clear and dig, which would cost approximately $11,000. Part of the flooding was .pictured In the Aldergrove News two weeks ago and showed an extensive area under water to the north of the Klassen farm.

In a letter written by the Chamber to the Public Utilities Commission it la pointed out that these changes include some 25 business firms who will be put to considerable expense notifying customers and clients of the changes. One firm ln particular la noted as having recently spent (1,400 on printed stationery, all of which will now have an incorrect telephone number thereon. Exception Is taken to the short notification of change, given by the Company, which the Aldergrove Chamber states was "quite unnecessary," dictatorial and harmful to tha business com- limlty." The Commission was asked whether lt had any control over such matters and was also Informed that some two years ago when voters approved a change from Aldergrove to Baldwin I, a representative of the company attended a Chamber meeting and gave an assurance that that would be the final change for the area. ' Thia assurance was an Important factor ln obtaining the Chamber's backing of the proposal. * Furthermore, the Chamber has heard unofficially that anot changa ls to be made next yaar and f**l* strongly that the com- Fog Causes Car To Overturn lan Road on Trans Canada.

Has anyone from the Old Country ever asked you to describe Aldergrove? What have you told theln? Maybe it went something like this or did you miss any of it? "Dear Folks":. There's nothing to touch British Columbia, we just love it and Aldergrove is quite the nicest place to live in. We are just out of the fog zone they get further west and away from the snow they get further east. Aldergrove is right in the centre of the beautiful Fraser Valley a- bout 9 miles from the river and 5 miles from the border with the U. S. A. Looking north we see the continuous range of mountains, usually snow clad. This is the Coast Range and the two big peaks we see in various different colors are known as the "Twin Peaks," or the "Golden Ears." We can also from all parts see the magnificent Mt. Baker which lies 75 miles south east of us across the border. Aldergrove now has pretty well everything we want.'It has a fine high school for 600 pupils and an elementary school with 200 pupils. Also a big fire hall which was largely built by volunteer labour. Besides a good shopping centre we have a library and a park and about a/2 mile from the town there's a large naval radio station, and a Sea Cadet corps. We have recently got a new water system and a new community planning scheme which means we will undoubtedly be quite a big town before long but this won't matter because the planners have been very careful not to spoil the looks of the place. In fact, our Chamber of Commerce is going all out to beautify the area. Local roads are being planted with flowering trees and they now talk of putting permanent plant and tree containers at intervals through the town. I forgot to tell you we also have an Old Age Pensioners' Club and other clubs and groups> There's very little we don't have. Night School classes for adults, a Rock Club, a drama group in nearby Langley, Bowling alleys in both Abbotsford and Langley and very probably in Aldergrove soon. As you can read in the Aldergrove News, something new is opening all the time. The people are very friendly, there are numerous churches, four motels, good paved roads everywhere, excellent street lighting, buses into Vancouver and the Interior, a hotel and in fact, pretty well everything you want including all services. Now that I've, written all this don't you feel you want to come and live here yourself? Why don't you? Yours ever, John Doe P. S. Forgot to tell you—we get lots of sunshine!"

"Keep" us, O Lord, from pettiness; let us be large in thought, in word and deed. "Let us be done With fault-finding and leave off self-seeking. "May we put away all pretences and meet each other face to face, "Without self-pity and without prejudice. "May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous; "Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straight-forward and unafraid. "Let us take time for. all things; make us grow calm, serene and gentle. "Grant that we may realize that it is the little things that create differences; "That in the big things of life we are one , "And may we strive to touch and know the great human heart common to us all. "And, O Lord God, let us not forget to be kind." Mary Stewart CHRISTMAS IN THE NORTH ,By Margaret Green Ohristmas ln the north, among the native population, la closely connected with the true moaning of the festival. Preparations are made well ahead of time, the churches bring beautifully decorated by the villagers and the choirs practise for long hours the carols and full Christmas anthems. Early on Christmas Eve the choir gathers and travels the length of the village singing anthems and carols. No house is left out, especially If there ls a sick or shut-in person living there. A small hand organ 1b carried around to supply the musical accompaniment. The last house is usually-the mission house and ln one particular village known to the writer this has been the custom for sixty years. The missionary and his wife provide sandwiches, Christmas cake and coffee for the whole choir who, ln their turn, put on the best program of the evening. The choir consists of upwards of forty members and one can imagine the clearing up after Its departure, sometime after 1 a.m. on Christmas Day. The respite is only brief at any time throughout Christmas Day for around 7 a. m.„ heralded by bugle and drum, the first of the village organizations starts to call on all houses starting (In this THIS BABY WAS DIFFERENT It*v. A. Hippe Immanufl Lutheran Church Once there was a Baby born who was different! His parents didn't even choose Hia name. God did. Through an angel His name waa announced to be JESUS. That means He would save people from their sins. He was God's own Son ... His birth was announced centuries before He was born. That'r. different from the usual birth announcements. Many people thought He would be born amid wealth and persons of high social standing, No, His birth was different; Ho was born ln a stable because His parents were very poor and "there was no place for them in the inn" (Luke 2:7). Other babies were normally born ln the better surroundings of a home. His birth was different. He was born without a human father. His Father was God Himself, the Holy .Spirit. His mother was a human being. Jesus was born as GOD and man, the God-man. He was conceived and born without sin, not for Hlmseir, but for the salvation of mankind. His life was different. This Baby grew to manhood. Other people fought, hated, cheated, and deceived because they were bora ln sin. He obeyed, loved, helped, taught gave and forgave. He performed many miracles, not ln another's but His own power. Most oustandlng«or all, He lived to keep the Ten Commandments for us sinners. His life was radically different. His death waa different. Because He did good, men hated Him, "Because their deeds were evil." Because He was Light, and "men loved darkness rather than light" (John*3:l9). Men put Hun to death on a* cross. They hated His goodness because they were evil. They hated Him because they hated the truth He spoke (John 8:37ff). They hated Him so much that they killed Him. And yet He did not die because He had to but because He wanted to.... for man's salvation (John 10:8). Frequently other men die cringing, cursing, begging, and fearful. Jesus died as He bad lived, teaching, loving, giving, and forgiving. He died for the sins of the whole •world ... for your sins and mine. Through His death we are reconciled to Ood. That's why His death was different. He was different—He arose I His death was not the end. He rose again from the dead. He was Ood. The Bible teaches that It was "not possible for Him to be held by lt" (death. Acts 2:24). He bad power to take up His life again. Tbe whole.reason for His coming ... His birth ... His life ... His death ... His resurrection . . . was to make us different, that Is, righteous In the sight of God. forgiven, heirs of eternal life. Jesus can make you different! He has something to give you— His salvation He brings lt to you in and with His Gospel, through which He gives you the Holy Spirit and faith In Himself. This Ohristmas let this'Savior Jesus make you different He can. He lived and kept every law that Ood holds you responsible for keeping. You" couldn't—but He did-and for you. This Baby is your Substitute and Savior. Do you believe? Do you accept Him as Substitute for your sins? Only then will you be able to profit by celebrating the birthday of our Lord and Savior. May the bless; lngs of the Birth of this Baby which was. different, fill your hearts with true Joy this Christ- mast ldcl particular case) with the mission house. The first to come, is always the village Council, led by the Chief Councillor who knocks at the door and entera with hia companions. Each shakes hands with every member of the famUy and takes an orange or a few candles from a bowl as he leaves. Other organisations follow, mostly ln order of Importance, and this continues until late afternoon. In between, there ls a morning service. at the church which lasts around Wt to 2 hours. A huge village dinner in the community hall usually follows and when people from another village are visiting a banquet for 4 to 5 hundred people la the general thing. While the women clear up the dinner, the men usually hold another service ln one of the halls. Sometimes, there ls an evening service In the church, with more of the beautiful singing at which the natives are ao proficient. Anyone who has heard one of theae native choirs sing the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's Messiah will carry the memory of lt with him for life. The missionary's Christmas usually follows on Boxing Day but lt seems doubly happy because of the happenings on the previous day. The next* two weeks after Ohristmas are always a gay time In these villages since every organisation in the village puts on a Christmas entertainment which everyone except the very sick attends.' The school children have their concert, as well as the band and the choir who provide the major entertainments. , Not Just one or two'members of a family attend but everyone from the tiniest baby to the old' est great-granny. Presents and gift-giving take a very seoondary place Ln the Festival of Christmas as celebrated In the northern villages.

LANGLEY HOSPITAL ___ NEWS __ As the Fall and Winter months continue we find the Medical and Surgical Ward of the hospital still working to full or over capacity with an Increased number of chest conditions among children and older people. There are heart conditions too in the older age groups. Tonsil operations, which we are still over one year behind, had to be cancelled again since last report, due to lack of beds, and on several occasions patients have had to spend the night, or longer, on stretchers In lieu of beds. Patients admitted and treated for the month of November were 230, with a drop in the average length of stay to 7,5 days. Of the&e 230 there were 33 newborn babes. Owing to the bed shortage and the subsequent cancellation, the Operating Room reported a drop in it's work to 164—the lowest month in the year; of these 82 were In-patients and 82 were out-patients. The Women's Auxiliary Council Udder the convenorshlp of Mrs. Rowlte Copeland, decorated the hospital on December 21. The Boy Soouts brought ln all of the trees necessary for the decoration of the wards, and Christmas dinner was served on the 25th. On each tray was a favor made up by the Otter W. A. which has had this work ln hand for a number or years. Each patient received a small Christmas gift on the noon-day tray. Carol staging arrangements were made by many groups, some of them doing their singing over the weekend- one on December 26. It was thought advisable to give a projected prqgram of events that would lead to 'the construction and occupancy of the New Hospital. The laat of the final readings of the By-law la to take place on December 28 in the Municipal Council Chamber. Aft' er thia there ls a 30-day period before the notification is sent by the Municipal and City Councils to the Department of Municipal Affairs for final approval. All these arrangements should be completed by the end of January, 1961. It ts understood that both councils have been approached by bond houses already who are anxious to handle the sale of the bonds covering the By-laws. How ever, nothing definite has taken place as fas as we know. The Municipal Affairs Department ln turn notifies the Minister of Health Services and Hospital Insurance. He then wilt, after making necessary financial arrangements, give an okay for the architects to go into working drawings. This probably would take place by the end of Febraury, 1961. In the meantime, of course, there ls a lot of revision of the preliminary sketches and tbe architects, consulting engineers and the department In, Victoria will be closely associated with our hospital committee to discuss all the salient features of the structure.

The architects tell us that lt will probably be the end of August before the complete working drawings and specifications covering all of the sub-trades aa well as the general contract are completed. When these have been approved by Victoria, then tenders would be called for and thia would probably be sometime In October or November. The different departments have to be fully satisfied that all Is correct before we go Into construction. Therefore, construction might not be before the middle or end of December, 1961. It la estimated that It will take 16 months to do all the construction which would bring us to June, 1963. If this were so, the building should be ready for occupancy by August 1, 1963. It must be fully understood of course, that this is only a projected program and will probably not entirely fit into the picture. However, it should be at least somewhere near lt and will serve as a guide for anybody wishing to foUow it's progress. The Board of Trustees intends to keep the public fully Informed as to the progress made and when to expect the New Hospital to be open for service. WONT YOU PLEASE MAKE Boys' Town, B.C.

It is a good thing to know in case things ever get that bad! With devices like the lever, primitive man multiplied the power of his own muscles. Today he puts other energy sources to work. Only a small fraction of work in Canada is done by man's muscles—the rest is done by machines. Oil to power these machines and,to fill other energy needs has been made available by companies like Imperial at reasonable prices wherever it is needed. Because of this, Canadians have turned to oil for mon than half their energy requirements—they use it at ths rate of mon than 1,000,000 gallons an hour. @> IMPERIAL OIL LIMITED ... for SOyeais Canada's leading supplier of Mm NEW NIGHT SCHOOL COURSES ALDERGROVE HIGH SCHOOL- 1.
