Box 220, Aldergrove OLD TIMER'S COLUMN Weekly Ottawa Notebook Those of us who have lived the space of three score years and more have seen greater changes in living conditions, and especially in education, than has happened in any similar space of time in history. Harking back to the days when we first went to the Little Red School House, we recollect that our parents had to provide us with so many coppers for each child, which die teacher collected every Friday from us. This, I presume, was to help pay the teacher's salary. Not long after this periodwhat was known as Board Schools came into vogue. I cannot remember what or how this happened except that it was not necessary then to make our weekly donation to the teacher. True, our curriculum (consisting of the Three R's) was not very extensive and our education was nearly always completed by our early teens (except in the cases of the few privileged). I would imagaine this is why we old timers find it difficult today to figure out finances. Take, for instance, how our government uses the taxpayer's money to encourage our farmers by way of subsidy to raise more wheat or to raise more pork, to produce more butter, to produce more eggs and raise more ■poultry, and then, with a glut on the market for these commodities, has to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for storage for a few years or more or give the stuff away by selling it at a loss. Well, we old timers were never educated well enough to absorb this kind of arithmetic. The United States for some years has been following a similar pattern. There the government pays the farmers not to produce so much (ie: the more wheat he is not going to raise next year, the more. money the farmer will make; the more hogs he is not going to raise next year, the better off he will be - at government expense). The government makes it .more profitable for the farmer not to produce the next year. Well, folks, it must take our younger generations and all their many increased curriculum, and the high-priced teachers of today instructing them, to figure out this kind of a problem. We old . timers just simply do not know. r AROUND TOWN Here is this week's puzzle. What is it? M Conrad Miller recently caught a mink in his chicken pen and decided to collect furs for a fur coat for his wife. He figured that it would take quite a time, but since catching the mink he has bagged a racoon, 2 skunks and a live 'coon. Now he figures the fur coat won't take so long to assemble. * * » Speaking of mink, there seem to be an awful lot of them around - and all varieties. George Johnson in Langley lost his pet game birds to a black one. A. Nouwens of County Line Road caught a white one eating a chicken. One of the Skidmore boys on Otter Road caught a brown one eating a duck, and Cam Hill caught a silver one with one of his pheasants. I understand Conrad Miller's was also a silver one. * * * Mrs. R.L. McCoy has been very happy lately. Mr. and Mrs. Ken McCoy and their baby daughter from Ontario have been staying with her. Also, another son, Petty Officer Stan McCoy of Esquimalt. * * * The correct guess for the last puzzle was sent in by Mrs. I.M. Dagg, 132 8th Ave., Dauphin, Manitoba. It was the mouth of a cannon. * * * A lady used our electronic secretary to leave a message about a lost purse. I took off the message when I came into the office.

JudgeTippe. October 4th OTTAWA - The Montreal longshoremen's strike has proved once again that Canadians have yet to resolve all their working relationships with Americans, not to mention with themselves. If ever an issue of broad national import ought to have submerged private interest, it should have been the rapid movement of 60,000,000 bushels of grain out of St. Lawrence River ports before freeze-up. Even the private interest of the longshoremen would have been more advanced, for there .would be more work for all. Yet this stood in jeopardy. The Russian sale and its urgency of delivery gave the strike its prominence, but the prominence in its way was inadvertent. The dispute, as the debate in the Commons revealed so clearly, was months old. This was the timetable; December 31, 1962 Termination of the existing contracts. January, 1963 The first offer for settlement was agreed to by the shipping companies' Shipping Federation and the local officials of the Inter national Longshoremen's Association. It was turned down by the membership. February and March, 1963 The second offer was disposed of identically, despite a firm effort by the Federal Department of Labor to resolve the dispute. Then a Conciliation Board was appointed, as is provided for by Canadian law, in September under Chairman Lafleur, nominated by both parties to the controversy. September 9th and 10th The issue dragged on, with the union members still demanding a 35$ an hour increase in wages plus 10$ in fringe benefits. On * these dates, a wildcat strike broke out on the waterfront because of rank and file dissatisfaction at negotiation proceedings. September 29th The conciliator secured a unanimous conclusion as a result of his deliberations, and rendered his decision. The local union membership voted not to accept its conciliation findings. October 2nd its owner's hands. • . * * Coming into Aldergrove early Saturday morning from the west, I got centred in a line of traffic stretching from the top of the hill just west of Coghlan to the top of the hill by Krieger's. A heavy piece of equipment caused the holdup and, of course, no one could pass on this long stretch of double lines. The cars were bumper to bumper. • * * By the number of cats around at night time one would think it was Hallowe'en already! It is hard to miss them when they dart across the road. Frogs, too, are a nuisance just now but this past week an oppossum was seen on Roberts Road and one on the County Line hill. These animals are quite numerous around here now. by ROBERT MOON strike at Montreal, Three Rivers, Sorel and Quebec City, ports which can handle a top average of 75 ships a day. All of this was legal, including the participation in it by the ILA North American president from New York. In any other year, it would have passed as an irritating strike, but perhaps only another one. This year was different. ... The final act of the 1963 strike came after the Russian sale and left waiting ships empty of grain. The final act also came after the federal government had decided to proceed with a trusteeship on the maritime unions along the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway. The ILA locals obviously had a better bargaining position since the demand for their work was greater. The extent to which this stroke of fortune finally affected their strike decision not even they could fully estimate. But what role did Hal Banks (condemned by the Norris Report as unfit to head a seamen's union - the Seafarers' International Union, now threatened with trusteeship) have in lt? His SIU had been supported by the ILA, now on strike over a wage dispute. Opposition Leader Diefenbaker declared in the Commons: "There seemed to be a relationship between the situation that has arisen in Montreal and the action threatened to be taken by the government in relation to Mr. Banks". Confirmation of such a relationship, however, would probably require another Norris Report. » * * There was lots of outside consultation or intervention. ILA President Gleason from New York said he had come up "to see what I can do to help the boys get a contract". He said orders v had been given to ILA locals at all Canadian and US ports not to touch ships or cargo diverted from the strikebound ports. It was an old refrain. The American Secretary of Labour came up to try and get a private union solution to the trusteeship principle, rather than have the government handle it. He was not successful. In their way, both men proved the continuing closeness of the American-Canadian labour and economic regulations. It did not necessarily prove the merit of having a foreign union leader participating in a Canadian strike involving the national interest so greatly. * « * The Vancouver strike of 1960 held up grain shipments and irritated the CCF (now NDP) feelings of some Saskatchewan farmers. What would the current strike do? Conservative members of Parliament coming in from the West say the farmers are ruffled but at the Liberal government in Ottawa. NDP Leader T.C. Douglas told the Commons the present government should bear much of the blame for permitting five months to go by before appointing a conciliation board in September. Labor Minister MacEachende- nied government delay, asserting the continuing need for free collective bargaining. It was legal, right enough, but the economic hazard increased from hour to hour.

Fifty years of marriage - seems like a long time . . . but just think of all the things that happen during that time. I was thinking about it-the other day while visiting grandmother during her recent stay in the Chilliwack Hospital. Grandmother and Grandfather will be celebrating their Golden Wedding Anniversary December 24 and I am told I will make the reply to the toast to the bride and groom. Trying to think of what to say, I remember so many things. As the oldest grandchild, I spent a lot of time at my grandparents' suite in Moose Jaw. I remember the gatherings they used to have with four or five couples to play cards or bingo, or for square dancing. I remember Grandmother always had the cookie Jar full for visiting children, and there were many .... and the probie's from the hospital who made the suite their home away from home (they still write although all are busy mothers now). ... tiie time Grandfather fell between two box cars and cracked his ribs (he was like an unbroken steer to keep in bed). Grandmother was different. I loved to nurse her if she was sick (all the best china on a tray) .... it is a wonderful experience for a young girl who loves to play nurse. Grandmother tried to teach me to sew (she had the patience of Job), but I'm afraid I didn't. When retirement came, they moved out here and this brought up the problem of whether Grandfather could settle down after working steadily all his life. We knew Grandmother would keep herself busy with church work and gardening. Well, Grandfather never did settle down - hot really, but this means something different than we think. He is busy playing bingo and DATE PAD Oct. 17 - Aldergrove Legion. Important general meeting, at Elks Hall, 8 p.m. Oct. 18 - Aberdeen PTA will sponsor a Whist Drive in the Aberdeen Hall, T.C.

They don't have any fruit back there, he told me the other day, and he had sent thirty boxes to residents of that barren country. I remember one time Grandpa' asked me to come along and pick apples with him. I thought that I could climb the tree, even though I am scared of heights, but no sir I Grandfather wasn't going to have me taking a chance on falling, so he climbed the tree . . . and keeps on... . He has a sore arm that acts up every once in a while. He got that from the time a horse ran into him while he was picking fruit in someone's orchard . . . At 77 years old, Grandpa is the most impatient person you could know. He travelled back to the prairies for the Retired CPR Employees supper and then turned around and came home the next day. Grandmother loves flowers and keeps planting bushes and the flowers, which Grandfather then promptly cuts down or digs up because they aren't where he wants them. She has an awful time keeping enough fruit for her own use - Grandpa keeps giving it away. Grandma is very thrifty and uses the oldest apples up first (stands to reason, doesn't it?). Grandpa says that with planning Grandma can serve rotten apples all winter. As far as I am concerned, neither one of them has aged one day since I was a little girl, except that maybe I love mem a little more. Happy Anniversary, Grandma and Grandpa!

She is Maggie, a small border collie belonging to Mr. Eric Tournquist. Every afternoon Maggie fetches the cows from the pasture across die road ln a most efficient manner. She shepherds them across the road and makes them stay on one side. In the morning she takes them 1 up the reverse side of the road. Laggers get their tails shaken by Maggie to get them moving quickly. And all this without a word from her master. When all the cows are in the barn, Maggie walks up and down until they are all tied up. Then she sits down to wale until the. milking is finished and she must get them back to the pasture. Mr. Tournquist says it is not necessary to give orders to his dog - Just speak normally and she understands everything. It is most interesting to watch this dog at work. MAGGIE. This Is the name ofa very intelligent dog who works well and hard for her master, Mr. Eric Tournquist, County Line Road. Maggie fetches the cows all alone each evening, driving them down the road from the pasture and into the barns. She is very often seen shaking the tail of the last one. She is waiting here in the barn until it is time to take the cows back. (News Photo) Galen F. Kintner, O. IX OPTOMETRIST Office'Hours .

Left to right, they are Elaine Leighton, Irene Hill, Mary Johnson (owner), and Ila Nelson. (News Kioto) Gardiner's pharmacy now 15 years old Aldergrove's only pharmacy is owned and operated by Mrs. Fred Johnson, the former Mary Gardiner. The pharmacy specializes in Rexall products. Mrs. Johnson tookherpharma- ceutical training in Saskatoon and had a number of years experience (including three years in Vancouver) before coming to open her own business in Aldergrove in 1948. It was fifteen years ago last July since the store was opened as Gardiner's Pharmacy. Two years ago the business underwent a major expansion and it is now a fully modern, attractive store with a large stock. Mrs. Johnson does all prescriptions herself, except on the few occasions when she has to be away. The work is then done by Mr. S.R. Tout, a retired pharmacist from White Rock. Three assistants are employed by Mrs. Johnson. They are Mrs. Irving (Ila) Nelson, Miss Elaine Leighton and Miss Irene Hill. This is Pharmaceutical Week, and we salute Mrs. Johnson and her staff.

WANCE COMPANY OF CANADA ____■_■_ _______ ****\*%mmmaW~~. *4 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16th, 1963 THE ALDERGROVE NEWS iPAGE FIVE Parliament Report by BARRY MATHER LTJMBE-R, STATISTIC8 OTTAWA - A bill which would have conveyed upon the provincial governments the right to sanction lotteries or sweepstakes was supported in Commons by Barry Mather, New Democratic Party M.P. for New Westminster Constituency. The bill, proposed by a Con servative member from Quebec, was finally "talked out" by the Liberal speakers. In supporting it, Mr. Mather said it might correct a situation which saw millions of dollars leak out of Canada through.the present illegal purchase of the sweepstake tickets by Canadians. He favoured the proposed leg- islation,.making possible a "do it yourself" tax which would enable the public to "have some fun", keep its money at home, encourage outsiders (such as the tourists) to buy our tickets, and to have a fund raised painlessly for good projects or general revenue ln Canada. MR. MATHER'S COMMENTS.. I should like to add a few words to the discussion of this proposed legislation. 1 think the measure before us is non-political in the sense that members in all parties have their own views for or against the principle of extending the licensing of lotteries. I am in favour of the proposal before us. I am in favour of extending government control over sweepstakes and lotteries. It seems to me that when thousands of Canadians participate every year in the purchase of lottery and sweepstake tickets, with the result that millions of dollars leave our country, a situation is created which might well be remedied by legislation such as is before us. Indeed, money would be encouraged to flow into the provinces from sources outside this country as people abroad bought Canadian sweepstake or lottery tickets. As things stand, we already have in Canada something like 28 operations which are in conflict with the present law. "Die results of public opinion polls across the country continue to show that in a large measure the public would support the steps contemplated in the bill now before us. It represents, of course, a step toward government operation and legalization of sweepstakes. I am opposed, as are other members of my party, to the hospital or educational boards setting themselves up to derive direct benefit from the sale of lottery tickets. Like my colleagues, I think this field should be strictly one for taxation. However, I approve the idea of extending to the provinces the right to license lotteries, which would bring in money for general revenue purposes. It is clear we have already accepted in principle In the various provinces the idea of sweepstakes or lotteries, whether it is churches which promote bingo games or governments which derive provincial revenue from the operation of such things as pari mutuel racing. Mountain Traffic So many mountain climbers swarmed over MtTani- gawa, Japan, recently, police had to direct the 5,500 climbers with a walkie- talkie on the slopes of the 6,300-foot mountain. Extension to the provinces of the right to run sweepstakes or lotteries would simply provide for a do-it-yourself tax whjch would allow die people to have a little fun while contributing to provincial revenues. I have much satisfaction In supporting the proposal before us. Having said that, I shall resume my seat in the hope that the House may be encouraged to come to a vote. For the builder and home owner one of the most important attributes of Western Red Cedar is its durability. In the Fraser Valley, near Haney, trees killed by wildfire in 1868 are still standing.

OCTOBER 16th. 1963 Aldergrove Secondary School PEOPLE OF THE WILDERNESS ON CBC-TV'S CAMERA CANADA CHITCHAT Well, the highlight of last week was, as usual, the football game Friday night. Many pessimists were quite shocked to hear that our team didn't get smeared 70-0 as was predicted by some, but instead was beaten by a mere 25 points in the game against Vancouver College, the powerhouse of the Skyline Conference. The final score of 25-0 does not do justice to the fight our team put up. Even those who weren't binoculatlng could see that Rick Davidson came up with approximately 13 tackles. This Wednesday our Battling by CONNIE CRONK Bruisers head for Langley, and we all know who's going to win that one now, don't we? •' * * Friday night the usual crowd of school-spirited AHS travellers was at the football game at Cap .

Following his coffee house and club successes in Vancouver this year, he starred in The Best of Spring Thaw at the Vancouver International Festival. It sold out at the Queen Elizabeth Playhouse and had to be moved into the larger Queen Elizabeth Theatre, where it once more sold out. Winter Use Of Herbicides Don't fret if you haven't yet got around to spraying that patch of unwanted brush or trees. You have all winter in which to tackle them with a herbicide. The trick is to use a brush instead of a sprayer. Painting the trunks with a herbicide during the winter does the job efficiently and eliminates the dangers of spray drift, soil sterilization and seepage, says A. * R. Buckley, of Canada Department of Agriculture. Mr. Buckley, with the Plant Research Institute in Ottawa, says a mixture of brush killer and fuel oil is effective when painted on the trunks or stumps of common buckthorn, alder, Manitoba maple and most other species, with the exception of evergreens. Although the method of application is convenient for winter time, it is "effective at any time of the year, he adds. For shrubs or trees with a trunk diameter of less than six inches, the mixture is painted on the trunks from ground level to a height of 12 inches. The mixture should be prepared according to directions on the container's label and it should be applied liberally to thoroughly wet the trunk. Where the trees are more than six inches in diameter, rings should be cut around the trunks to allow ready access of the chemical into the circulatory system.

The Fruit and Vegetable Division, Canada Department of Agriculture, reports that a late spring delayed the season by two weeks in Ontario. Poor weather conditions for ripening are also contributing to' the prospect of a 40 per cent drop in output this season. In Quebec, tomato crops already delayed by a late spring, suffered extensive damage from frost in early September. Damage is reported so severe as to amount to practically a crop failure. The unusual weather also has hit tomato production in the United States, even California reporting prospects of a light crop. in May of this year when it was offered as a tribute to CBC producer Norm Caton and cameramen Len MacDonald and Charles Riegler, who were killed in a plane crash in Alberta last February while working on this assignment.

Now that more and more freeways are being completed, a whole new concept of driving is evolving. It may be that we will soon see short courses on freeway driving being formed. The B.C. Automobile Association has compiled a list of some of the most common faults that freeway drivers are committing. Recognize any of these people? WEAVING WILLIE - he never likes the lane he's driving in. He swerves, dips, ducks and careens along his serpentine way, throwing the other drivers into quick skids and some violent rages. All this is done, of course, at dangerous freeway speeds. POKEY PETE - walking would be almost as fast and a lot healthier than his motoring pace. If there's any Justice, the car in back of him should be equipped with a bulldozer blade. NATURE NICK - enraptured by the flora and fauna of the freeway scenery, he pauses to revel in the rustling of the leaves and twittering of the birds. He soon may hear other noises, though - the sound of horns from motorists behind him. BUMPER-HUGGER BOB - somehow, this fellow got into the habit of clinging to the car ahead as if their bumpers were magnetized. But all hope is not lost. One swift stop by the car he's hugging will probably break this habit permanently. MOTORCYCLE MAC - he just dropped in from Outer Space - you can tell by his Martian costume. He slips between lines of cars like-a slice of baloney escaping from a sandwich. And he usually winds up in the hash. DODGEM' DICK - wherever a policeman hovers, you'll find this gent very law- abiding. But, the second the coast is clear, his accelerator, foot mm Easy Pick-up When you break a bottle, there are always tiny pieces of broken glass to pick up. In picking these up, there is always the danger of cut fingers or glass slivers. Next time, grab a paper towel from over your workbench and dampen it. Then you'll be able to wipe up the glass without fear of cutting yourself. - Jhs. cUwidsinsih Long Time If you have planted a lawn recently for that croquet game next summer, here's something to remember: * You must give a newly planted yard a full year to establish. In fact, most perennial grasses do not reach maturity until their second year. What does this mean? If you plant in the fall—you'll not be playing croquet next year, but football instead. tingles. Happily, this person is in the minority. CAUTIOUS CARL - this man just doesn't know what "Merging Traffic" signs mean. When making a clover- leaf execution, he comes to a stop before entering the highway, even though there is a lane set aside for him to blend with the traffic. » * . These are some of the things drivers do on freeways which make motoring unpleasant for themselves and for others. The BCAA asks motorists how many of these aliases they recognize as their own driver description? NEARLY, BUT NOT QUITE! A truck hauling a full load of lumber was turning into the gateway at Krieger's Hatchery and almost made it. However, the right rear wheel slipped deep into the ditch. The lumber had to be unloaded before the truck could be hauled out. The truck belonged to Newport Lumber Company in Vancouver.

The strong College defence got to the ball carriers before they got to the line and Davidson was forced to punt.

Davidson hobbled the kickoff and then ran it back 19 yards. After two unsuccessful attempts at gaining ground, Davidson did a quick-kick but was roughed. This gave Aldergrove a first down on the 43 yard line. Davidson passed but it was Intercepted on the 31. Collins took the ball down to the Aldergrove 33 with some marvelous running. Ken McAllister then knocked down a pass. However, Collins took it to the 15 on the next play. They were over for the touchdown In two plays. The convert was wide. Anglin hobbled the kiekoff and ran it back 8 yards. Aldergrove was forced to punt. Davidson boomed another beauty to the College 28. College gained 3 yards in 2 plays, then gained 12.

Aldergrove held and took over on the 30. Findlay gained 15 yards and Davidson was forced to punt. College took over on their 27, moved a short distance and then punted. It was fumbled on the Aldergrove 20 and slid fo the 1 where College recovered. It took them 3 plays until they went across for the TD. The kickoff was returned by Burgess who had the fans standing until he stumbled and fell backwards after almost getting away. The game ended shortly.

There are more than two dozen shooting reserves in Ontario. Quebec is putting its' first reserve into operation this year. it Is about time we took a hard look at this type of sport. When the first reserve was opened in 1958, various rod and gun blu gun clubs passed resolutions against it, but some were in favor. Old veteran sportsmen spoke sneeringly of "slaughtering chickens just out of the pen" while bird dog men hailed- it as the answer . to their training problems. Fathers took their sons there on special Father & Son days to train them in gun handling and wing shooting. Big businesses rented the place by the day to entertain. A big brewery company treated the sports writers to a day in the fields. Gradually, the opponents were won over. By fall of 1959, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation decided to get into the act. They did a half-hour live show in die fields of the old farm, following the hunters and dogs with cameras mounted on trucks. The whole affair went off well on a national hook-up and did a great deal to spread die message that pheasant hunting on a cash- and-carry basis could be good sport. They had their troubles with the quality of birds, which had pecked each other badly in the pens and often lacked the tail feathers for good flight. The game farms that have sprung up since those times know a good deal more about raising and keeping pheasants. They have learned how to turn out birds that match their wild cousins In size and cunning, and in speed afoot or on the wing. With birds of good calibre, a hunter of average shotgun skill does not always get his quota though he probably gets shots at several. TTiey are Just as wild and tricky as their native cousins, running at incredible speed through the tall grass and weeds of the shotting area and flushing only as a last resort as the dogs close in. But, once in the air, they fly high, far and fast, and when they finally come down again they seem to have already reverted to the wild state. They vanish from the landing area by the time the dogs and hunters get there. No, you can't sneer at these pen-raised birds with impunity because an expert can raise them in a way which lets them often sneer at the hunters. The conditions you will encounter on a well-run game farm are very close indeed to those of wild bird hunting. The farms let weeds, grass and brush grow wild, and some even add strips of corn and other feed-cover material. The following paragraph is taken from the regulations made under the Game and Fisheries Act of Ontario. A pheasant hunting preserve*, shall not be less than 100 acres and not more than 600 acres in area. RECREATIONAL SOCCER STANDINGS W D L Pts Langley 3 0 0 6 M.I.R.S. 3 0 0 6 Abb.

OCTOBER 16th. 1963 THE ALDERGROVE NEWS PAGE NINE Brief presented to Council by Camber Hill on As requested, I am submitting the following brief in support of my proposed shooting preserve, all of which is respectfully tendered. I would first outline the facts. I submitted my application for a licence to operate the shooting preserve to the Fish and Game Branch of the Department of Recreation and Conservation ln March of 1963. The Pish and Game Branch had certain requirements including the Incorporation of a company on my part, etc., all of which I have met. The Director of the Pish and Game Branch has informed you of my application andfurther that the concept of shooting preserves is being done extensively across the continent in both Canada and the United States, that the Department favors my application for the licence and that legislation is about to be presented for enactment in Victoria and have asked for your approval. It is proper for us to assume that all the technical aspects of the matter, Including safety, my competence to operate the preserve, and financial ability, are satisfactory to the Fish and Game Branch or they would not have indicated that they are agreeable to issuing the licence. The idea of a shooting preserve is not a new one for there are 11 or more in Canada and some 363 in the United States, all situated near large metropolitan areas. Hie next question you may ask is, what is the reason for their existance and why do the Fish and Game Branch approve of the concept. There are some 42,000 hunters in the Lower Mainland which is probably the highest concentration of hunters in a small area in all of Canada and consequently the hunting pressure in this area is tremendous. Looking at our future population trends for the Lower Mainland in the future, this pressure can only get worse. TTie question therefore is, where will these thousands of hunters get their hunting in the future? Some of the members of the council operate a farm now and others of you have done so in the past, and I would be insulting your intelligence if I told you about the problems of the farmer with hunters. Dr. Hatter, the Director, realizes probably better than anyone that something has to. be done to relieve the pressure on the 42,000 hunters and the thousands of farmers ln the Lower Mainland. It might be said that the hunters should go to the prairies or perhaps tiie Interior to do their shooting, but unfortunately everyone cannot afford the cost of such a trip. Because a man's means are modest, should he be discriminated against? As to the physical layout, I have a farm of approximately 100 acres, part of which I own and part of which I lease. The owners of the property which I lease are fully aware of all the details of the proposed shooting preserve and have given it their blessing. The area is made up of partially cultivated fields, grass land and uncultivated areas in bush. It is proposed that the shooting be conducted in four fields. People wishing to hunt on the premises will do so by making a reservation and a party will be limited to eight guns and a guide will accompany the hunters to define the boundaries and to acquaint them with the rules of the shoot and to ensure they abide by die same. I will screen the dogs and insist that any dog used must be well broken aiTd trained and will reserve the right to bar any dog. As part of the fee for the privilege of hunting, I will cover each party shotting with liability insurance for limits of $100,- 000 to indemnify against damage to the property of others and any injury. Each hunter will be required to wear a red vest which I will supply and the boundaries of the property will be clearly designated by signs at Intervals of 50 feet. The birds are conditioned in flight-pens, will be well feathered and healthy. Birds conditioned in this manner adjust very quickly to freedom and are every bit wily and as difficult to hit as their wild cousins. I would only' be too happy to demonstrate this. It has been suggested to you that this whole concept is immoral. With respect, I must contend that this argument is without merit. The hunting ot birds goes back to the earliest times of man and certainly will not cease in the foreseeable future. The question of morality was decided at law by the government of British Columbia when the Game Act was first enacted. Even if morals were really an issue, would the council feel it was part of their duty to decide on whether a thing was moral or would you feel this was the duty of a Court of Law? I feel that I can respect the opinions of people who disagree with the shooting of birds, but I strongly resist any attempt to force upon me or any other individual their views. The question of safety is hardly a factor here since it has long since been accepted in the field of ballistics that the effective killing range for birds of a shotgun is forty yards. It is illogical to suggest that there would be more danger to livestock and people from a supervised hunting party under the conditions I have mentioned than an unsupervised group. It has been contended that the propsed shooting preserve is situated in an area which is rapidly changing into a residential area. The real fact of the matter is that the major portion of the surrounding property has been pur- RECREATION NEWS BALLET: There is room for a few more in the first as well as the second sessions.

When that stage is reached, the property on which I am now situated will become so expensive that I will be compelled to move - not for reasons of danger, but rather of economic reasons. It has been suggested to you that many hunters will not use my preserve for reasons of pride but surely that is a risk I take as an entrepreneur and should be of no conern to anyone else,.. In summation, I earnestly request that you give your approval to this new business venture with a view to giving your real consideration to the needs of the many as opposed to unfounded fears of a few.

TIMBER SAFER CHICAGO (UPI) — Heavy timber buildings are safer from file damage than structures built with so-called "noncom- b'ustible" materials, reports the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. Temperatures inside a burning building can reach 1,700 degrees, often within 10 minutes. But wood beams char to a depth of only one and a half inches after a full hour* of that temperature, the organization says, and charring is usually not sufficient to cause collapse. plus non-negotiable money certificates in a daring robbery at Abbotsford Super Valu last night.

She looked across at me and said, "Another bank robbery yesterday. There's one almost every day." "Yes," I said, more Interested in the low sugar content of the porridge I was eating. "Didn't you have a relative or something that was a bank robber?" she asked, knowing full well that such was a fact. "How much did he steal?" she went on. "He didn't steal anything," I said, slyly dropping another spoonful of sugar Into my mush. "My great-uncle, who attempted to make off with the bank funds, was caught before he got his sticky hands on the money." "He was proved to have been drunk and used a gun," she persisted. "He did not use a gun," I said, "he used a cannon that he had borrowed from the army - an old cannon that fired round iron balls." "Hie army loaned him a cannon?" she asked, with rising inflection. "I don't believe it." "Well," I answere, "there is some reason to doubt the arrtvy permission." "You mean he stole the cannon?" "And a horse and wagon, too. Cannon was heavy," 1 admitted. "Whyl" she said. "The man was a thief, wasn't he?" "Most bank robbers are," I informed her. "Yes, I guess that's so," she agreed. "Now that you're satisfied," I said, looking across at her, "wipe your chin. There's some egg on It." "But you didn't tell me how he got caught," she said, making a pass with a napkin. "He was a smart man," I said, "but incredibly stupid." "He couldn't be smart and stupid, too," she Interposed, "could he7" "Lots of smart men are stupid and lots of stupid men are smart. It depends what side of die fence you're on," I suggested. "Aid, by die way, you didn't get all the egg off." "You are evading my question," she said. "Tell me how they caught your thieving relative?" "Please pass the sugar." . "Never mind the sugar," she said. "1 saw you steal that last spoonful - you're just like your uncle. Blood tells." "Uncle," I said, "placed the cannon close to the door of the bank in line with the big safe at the rear of the bank. He loaded the cannon and filled the touch hole with powder. He lit a match and then, leaning over from the back of the cannon, he lit the powder. BANGI" "Don't stop nowl Go onl" said the frau as I momentarily hesitated. "It must have been really funny!" "Uncle was not used to cannons," I went on, " and those cannons must be tied down before they are fired so that the explosion won't blow them backwards. Uncle's stolen cannon went backwards fast, taking my charming relative with it. The town constable, who heard the racket, found Uncle lying on the road, unconscious. Twentyyears they gave him..." "That should be a lesson to you," said my wife, rising tore- move the sugar bowl from the table. Few Spud Varieties Make Good Chips, Fries Just any old potato won't make good commercial chips or french fries. When the processor buys potatoes for these uses, he carefully considers their grade, variety, specific gravity, maturity and the temperature at which they have to be stored. These factors decide his production costs and the final quality of his product. Promising potato varieties— grown at diiferent spots throughout Ontario—are being evaluated at the CDA's Smith- field Experimental Farm for their suitability to the chip and french fry trades. W. P; Mohr, of the Smithfield Farm, points out that finished chips must have a uniform light golden color. A deeper golden color is preferred for french fries and the texture must be mealy as well. To produce these results, the processor needs a mature potato rich in dry matter as indicated by high specific gravity, a potato of the right variety, and a potato which can be stored at 40 °F. Several varieties will produce satisfactory color if processed immediately after harvest or if held at 55"F. However processors prefer to spread the'ir work over several months and sprouting is a problem Here's the Answer 1.1 .[_U__J ■•■ l.__.[ .I.

Kennebec and Sebago are two standard varieties used in manufacturing chips and french fries. They retain their quality when stored at 40°. In the Smithfield tests, Arenac and several as yet unnamed selections rated as high in chip and french fry quality as Sebago and Kennebec. Several other varieties, including Blanca, Norland, Hunter and Navajo, were found unacceptable for this use regardless of where they were grown-in Ontario or the condi- tions of storage.

A workshop, sponsored by the Langley and District Parent- Teacher Council, was held last Wednesday evening in the Langley Central activity room. It dealt mainly with "SwingShifts". Mrs. Eric Burnell, President of the Langley and District Parent-Teacher Council, was chairman of a panel comprised of Mr. John Stanton, chairman of the Education Committee of the B.C. Parent-Teacher Federation; Mr. R.S. Price, Supervising Principal of the Langley School District, and Mrs. D.L. Gray, another B.C. Federation member. Mrs. E.H. Ulmer, past president of the local council, introduced the program and speakers. This workshop was an effort to find out how much PTAS in co-operation with teachers could best work for the good of the students. Mr. Price pointed out that the women have control of 85% of their husbands' earnings and have much to say about the spending of the other 15%. The discussion was on the matter of referenda and getting them passed. Of the last eight times a referendum has been presented to the rate payers, only two have beenpass- ed. The school population is getting so numerous that we must have schools was the contention of the speakers. In not passing the referenda, a great deal of money is wasted. Mr. Stanton made the remark that parents should not be accused of "the sin of shortchanging their children in the matter of education". The necessity of high school education was considered an imperative nowadays. There was a good-sized audience for the panel and this split up for small discussion groups and a question period concluded the workshop. NEW EQUIPMENT FOR ABBOTSFORD New telephone communications t-quipment, known by its acronym "SATT" and valued at over $200,000, is being installed in B.C. Telephone Company's Abbotsford Exchange building at Essendene Avenue and Cyril Street. The new tenant - whose initials stand for "Strowger Automatic Toll Ticketing" - will provide Direct Distance Dialing (DDD) service for 11 Upper Fraser Valley telephone exchanges, beginning with Abbotsford, Mission and Aldergrove next March. Aldergrove is already receiving direct dialing service on station-to-station long distance calls from an SATT installation located in New Westminster. Agassiz, Boston Bar, Yale, Hope, Yarrow and Sardis phones will be connected to the Abbotsford SATT eqvdpment next May, while Chilliwack and Rosedale will have access to the special long distance dialing facilities next July. The Abbotsford-centred DDD service will bring 60,000,000 telephones in Canada and the United States, with direct dialing range of the Upper Fraser Val- Whale, Seal May be Canned for Eskimos Meat inspectors of Canada Department of Agriculture may have a "whale" of a job ahead of them. Basis of the prospect is a plan to construct Canada's first whale and seal meat processing and canning plant. The plant has been proposed ',;; the Department of Northern '.liars and National Resources which is developing the project with the co-operation of the Department of Fisheries. It would be located on the Tha- anne River at a point close to where it empties into Hudson. Bay. Final decision on the project, iunvever, awaits the results of further studies, including a market testing program now under way, and biological studies by the Department of Fisheries. Meantime, the Meat Inspection Division of CDA's Health of Animals Branch has approved the experimental project and has agreed to provide meat inspection services. Whaling is limited to the brief summer season, but canning will assure Eskimos of supplies of the meat during the rest of the year, Northern Affairs officers explain. A problem is the wide variation in food preferences among Eskimo communities. To help solve this, the department already has put into operation a small pilot plant which is turning out 20 varieties of canned whale and seal meat products for use in the market testing program in the Northwest Territories. The products include plain, unseasoned meat; meat balls and gravy, and meat with seasoning, tomatoes and onions. * If plans materialize, Northern Affairs will operate the plant until it can be taken over by an Eskimo co-operative. The plant's annual output is expected to be in the neighborhood of 150,000 pounds of whale meat products and 30,000 pounds of seal meat. "Southern" Canadians may get a chance to try the products, too. Although Eskimos will have priority in obtaining supplies surplus items may be made available elsewhere in Canada.

NATURE'S SCRAPBOOK A FOREST NATION Canada is indeed a forest nation, says Hon. J.R. Nicholson, Minister of Forestry. Our forest industries directly employ more than 300,000 persons with an annual payroll of some $1.2 billion. The forest industries are first in the nation in terms of employment and wages paid, in the value of freight loaded, in the attraction of new capital investment, and in die net value of the output product in dollars. In the vital economic field of domestic exports, forest products account for approximately 30% of Canada's total export value and have consistently, throughout the years, been out" leading earner of foreign exchange. To a large extent, the continued well-being of our forest industries is absolutely essential to the future economic welfare of the country at large. FUNNEL-WEB WEAVERS Even the most careful of observers seldom realize what an immense number of spider- webs are spun upon the grass in the fields. But, occasionally, ln the early mornings, they spring into view as the dew condenses on them. Then we see the grass covered by aji almost continuous carpet of silk. Most of the webs we see at this time are of the form commonly known as funnel-webs. They consist of a concave sheet of sdk, with a funnel-shaped tube at one side and numerous lines extending In all directions to the supporting spears of grass. The tube serves as a hiding for the owner of the web. From this retreat, the spider runs out on the upper surface of tiie web to sieze any insect that alights upon it. The tubes open below, near ±e roots of the grass, so tiie spider can escape from it is a too formidable insect enters the web. FAVOURABLE FIRE SEASON Canada has enjoyed one of the least rigourous forest fire seasons on record. According to tiie Federal Department of Forestry, 6,220 forest fires, with a total area of 296,000 acres, were reported to the end of August. This included 97 fires which burned 22,000 acres in the Yukon and Northwest Territories. At the end of August last year, 5,711 fires had swept through some 482,000 acres. Lightest fire season on record was 1954, when the area burned was 266,000 acres. OWLS AND ARCTIC ECONOMY The northern snowy owl feeds in summer on lemmings, mouselike creatures inhabiting the Arctic barrens, which are also the . staple food of the Arctic fax. About every four years, the supply of lemmings fails. There are not enough to go round, so the snowy owl flies south to catch mice and rats. When Arctic fur traders see tills migration of owls, they know there is a shortage of lemmings, that Arctic faxes will be scarce and that it will be a season to extend credit to the Eskimo.

The Hon. Mitchell Sharp, Minister of Trade and Commerce, points out that Canada's total export sales of wheat will be in excess of 550 million bushels during the present crop year. For the first time in 11 years, wheat is once again Canada's number one export commodity. These enormous sales will represent foreign exchange earnings of over $1 billion between now and next July 31. These sales are of such a magnitude that they may well wipe out Canada's current account deficit this year for the first time in more than a decade. Along with its beneficial effect on the economy, the Russian wheat deal has faced Canadians with a challenge - the challenge of carrying out the largest single movement of goods ever undertaken in this country. The estimated 550 million bushels of export wheat represents a movement 35% greater than the previous all-time high, and some 70% greater than the five year average 1958-59 to 1962-63. Speaking at a meeting of the Saskatchewan Farmers' Union in Moose Jaw following the Russian sale, Mr. Sharp gave some indication of the size of the job ahead when he pointed out that, if ,the extra railway boxcars required to move the 239 million bushels of Russian wheat were coupled WEST COAST MARKET REPORT Market strong on cows and steady on veal. Good steers weaker. Wednesday's auction receipts, totalled 303 head of cattle and calves.

Catalogues are available. Special Dairy Sale, on Monday, October 21st - 40 head, of heifers are consigned. We need more springers for this sale. together, they would form a train more than 1,000 miles long. In addition, handling facilities and storage space must be geated up quickly for the extra 11 million cubic yards of grain that will be moving out of Canadian ports this year. For the first time in history, commented Mr. Sharp, the limiting factor is neither supply nor demand - it is transportation and handling capacity. The Russians, too, have their work cut out for them. More than 600 shiploads, averaging 10,000 tons, wUl be required to complete the movement of wheat and flour. Nor are they wasting time in getting started. On September 26, just ten days after the contract was signed, the first Russian freighter had loaded in Montreal and was heading east with 10,000 tons of Canadian wheat aboard. The following day, two more freighters arrived, the forerunners of a veritable armada of fifty ships reported heading for our shores. In Canada, the benefits of the enormous transaction will reverberate through the entire economy. The Western farmer will, of course, benefit most directly. In his Moose Jaw address, Mr. Sharp estimated that the average wheat producer would achieve an added income of $2000 during the current crop year. This additional cash in come will in turn mean a great boost for manufacturers and for retailers in the West and, indeed, throughout Canada. The flour milling industry, which has been operating far below capacity, will be all-out to handle the 575,000 tons of wheat flour included in the agreement, thus increasing activity and employment in this industry. The railways will, of course, require all available men and equipment to facilitate this record movement, and terminal elevators and ports of both East and West will be working at full capacity until next summer. Along with benefits come responsibilities, and Mr. Sharp has called for the co-operation of all concerned to make a success of this great undertaking. From the wheat producers, he has asked for as prompt delivery as possible of their wheat to the country elevators. He has asked their understanding if, of necessity, wheat quotas do not open up evenly throughout the West. From the railways, the port authorities, the grain exporting firms - and from labour, he has called for a maximum effort to facilitate the "smooth and efficient movement of grain from country elevators to ocean-going vessels". Given a reasonable break in the weather, andtheco-opefation of all concerned, Canadians, by next July 31, will be able to look back, with satisfaction on the most spectacular export venture in the country's history.
