Monday, February 14th, 1966 $3.00 Per Year Four Pages $784,000 For A New S System in Clearbrook FOUNDERS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA PETER O'REILLY "Now boys, there must be no shooting, for if there ts shooting there will surely be hanging." Thus did Peter O'Reilly lay down the law in the rought and ready mining settlement of Wild Horse Creek in the Kootenays in'the 1860's. And there was no more shooting. He had come out from Ireland In 1859 when he was Just reaching manhood, but already he had served In the Irish Revenue Police and he was a logical choice when Governor James Douglas wanted a stipendiary magistrate for Fort Langley. Within two years he was gold commissioner and stipendiary magistrate in the Cariboo, collecting -miners' licence fees and registering claim and settling disputes with a firm hand. He held the same posts at the Big Bend strike and later at Wild Horse Creek. When the government decided to charge a royalty on miners' gold that task also fell to him -- but It was a futile undertaking and the royalty was dropped. O'Reilly was appointed judge for Yale in 1867 but he was back In the mining camps of Omlneca soon alter. In 1861 he led a party on an historic winter trek to the coast by the Skeena River route over snow sometimes 30 feet deep - and for a time was given up as lost. He served on the B.C.LeglslatlveCouncllandwas a strong supporter of Confederation and was a brother-in-law to B.C.'s first Lieutenant-Governor Joseph Trutch. O'Reilly settled in Victoria and his last appointment was Indian Reserve Commissioner. He died in 1905. -B.C. Centennial Committee ewer Unusual Convention for Local Teachers Matsqui Reeve J. A. Murphy spoke Tuesday night at the Clearbrook Board of Trade meeting and outlined a sewer district that bill include the built up portions of Clearbrook. The area defined In the in* ltlal stage would Include 450 homes with a population of %,• 800. projected increase for the area would bring the number of homes to 857 with an ultimate population of 10,000. Total cost of the system including a lagoon to be constructed south of highway 401 and west of Clearbrook was reported to $784,000. Rates quoted would be $2.50 per month user rate and 48tf per foot frontage tax. If constructed under the winter works the resulting grants may enable the municipality to subsidize connection fees as was done in the M.S.A. system until Jan- uary 15th, Reeve Murphy explained that this may be done as the bylaw must be presented for the total months and any savings such as winter works may be used In this way. The two seven acre lagoons would be constructed on a 28 acre piece of property In the Fish Trap Creek area. The problems arising from this are whether this would affect the salmon in the lower reaches of the creek In theUnitedStates. Permission to construct the lagoon in this area must come from the Health Department, the Fisheries Department and International authorities. However Reeve Murphy did not seem to feel there would be too much difficulty obtaining the consent. An alternative to the lagoon would be to pump the . effluent to where It would flow by gravltytothe presant lagoons : on Matsqui flats. This, Reeve j Murphy stated, would be very i expensive. Speaking of whether the mains would be laid on the streets or easements, he said that easement access would require 200 separate consents inClear- brook. This situation would be given far more consideration If the bylaw was passed. He urged the Board to con- ; stder whether Clearbrook want - I ed sewers now or to wait when < the cost would be more. He said definite opinions on the matter would be needed before a bylaw was put. The Langley Junior Chamber of Commerce held it's Charter Night on Saturday. President Red McCallum re- ceived the charter on behalf of the re-activated, 20 member branch from the Canada jay. cees. Totoal membership of Junior Branches in BC stands at 15 hundred, in 45 separate units. The Langley group is planning a sports centre, a teenage safe driving roadeo, and will place an entry in the fall fair parade. The Junior Chamber is Just starting up again after being inactive for several years. J. R. MacDonald of the Langley Teachers' Association has announced a holiday for students and an unusual kind of convention for the teachers on Friday February 18th. For the first time teachers from the Langley and Maple Ridge School districts will meet together, fourhundred strong, and take part In a special exercise at Simon Fraser University. The President of Simon Fraser. Dr. Patrick Mctaggart- Cowan, will officially open the proceedings with an address to delegates in the university theatre. Following his welcoming speech, the assembly will tour the campus in groups. At the conclusion of the con. ducted tour the assemblage will sit down again while the Dean of Education, Dr. A.R.

RECORD BUDGET cti School Board Proclaims Education Week Trustees of Abbotsford school district number 34 will request all three local councils of officially proclaim March 6 to 12th as Education Week. This is lnteded to support a com- mitee directed by Brian Thompson which has begun to formulate elaborate plans to demonstrate the school system and It's operation to the public. The board heard a report from trustee Bob Brown regarding the Legion Junior Olympic track and field meet to be held In Abbotsford in July. Trustee Brown indicated that over 400 young people from all parts of the provlncewouldparticipate. The board agreed to permit use of It's equipment and outdoor facilities for the meet as well as the use of the high school's for sleeping quarters. The board has received a letter from a local citizen questioning the necessity of having librarians on the staff. District Superintendent, M. Mouatt explained that librarians are highly skilled people and the department of education recognizes this to the extent that librar ians are on staff on a shareable cost. Mr. Mouatt will reply to the letter. Numerous PTA's In school district number 34 are voicing opinions regarding what they claims to be a lack of sporting equipment in the schools. Trustee Brown stated that money is now available through the recreation commission for such things as badminton, volleyball and soccer equipment. The board suggested an Immediate meeting with the recreation committee and membefs of the PTA's. Superintendent Mouatt was given permission by the board to hire a chef to instruct in the new teaching cafeteria. Mr. Mouatt Indicated that 80 to 85 students will take part in the program. The chef will possibly come from the Burnaby Vocational Institute. The board also decided to close the senior room at the Kilgard school In the near future and transfer the students to Upper Sumas. The move Is being made the offer the students more facilities. ALDERGROVE LET IT Langley's recreation commission spent $12,000 last year and according to Reeve Wll- ' Ham Poppy there's only one thing wrong with it's operation. He says, "The pople who ought to come, don't," However, under the influence ot recreation director Pete Swennson, the commission sponsored many activities dur. . Ing 1965 - and continues to do I so this year. Swensson dd report though that the ladles' keep fit class In Aldergrove had to be cancelled because of lack of attendance and he was hoping for a better response at Fort Langley. F.V.M.P.A.

Arrangements are now being made for may day and the Langley walk, as well as num. erous activities for residents of all ages. c. Watt is chairman of the commission again and F. Greer is vice chair- man. Premier Bennett has brought down a record budget of 657,. 282,398.00 dollars today. That Is an increase ot nearly 113 million over last year. Education gets the lion's share - $166,949,421,00, which Is a boostof25.5tnllliondollars from the previous year. Highways also get more this time-almost 96 million dollars, or an increase of more than 16 million. Hospital Insurance service Is next at 90 milllon-up 12 mil. lion* and Mr. Bennett's own department follows with a budget of close to 72 million dollars for the Finance Depart- raent. Social Welfare Is another huge figure on the books, getting close to 67 million dollars for 1966. All other figures Just cover ordinary . operating expenses and remain about the same as previous years except for expected increases due to rising costs of materials. Sales and fuel taxes will pay the biggest share Into B.C.'s revenue this year to cover Mr. Bennett's 650 million dollar budget - 200 million dollars. Income taxes and succession duties will add another 143 million, 500 thousand. Privileges, licenses, resource taxes and royalties boost the total still further with 135 million, and Canada's share ot Joint service programs In lieu of opting out will bring 105 million from the Federal Gov. eminent. Other, smaller amounts will come through nor - mal recovery of various government enterprises. Clearbrook Board of Trade Door-to-Door Delivery Could Cost Clearbrook It's Identity The Clearbrook Board of Trade doesn't want door-to-door delivery in Clearbrook If It means poor service or closing the post office. The executive was instructed to call a public meeting and distribute pamphlets to explain what door to door delivery would mean In the centre, if they felt this necessary. It was pointed out at the meeting that petitions are being circulated to obtain door to door delivery and the board felt that the situation was not being explained fully. In a survey done by the board if was found that the area bounded by Tretheway Road, Peard- on vllle Extension, Marshall road and Dahlstrom road contains 1,100 drops. The obtain door-to-door delivery from the Clearbrook Post Office, a minimum of 2,000 drops would be needed. The majority of the board felt it would be better to wait. One speaker said that as businessmen the group bad spent time and money advertising Clearbrook and door todoorde- llvery from the Abbotsford Post office would cause Clearbrook to lose Us identity. UNEMPLOYMENT INCREASED BECAUSE OF POOR WEATHER RANGING FUR AND WIDE over British Columbia highways dur ing the next nine months will be the British Columbia Centennial Caravan, two 55-foot truck-trailer units decorated with a colourful descriptive mural. Inside the big caravans will be antnted displays, with special lighting and sound effects, highlighting the province's past, present, and projected luturc. The Centennial Caravan will visit about 200 communities after its first appearance In Victoria March 11. - British Columbia Centennial Photo The continuation of poor weather Is blamed for an Increase *ln the number of persons registered for work at the National Employment Service office In Abbotsford. Higher employment levels are reported, with the number registered for January being lower than that of January, 1965. Office manager E. N. (Ted) Hardy states that he feels the peak of lay-offs has been reached and the number of applicants will show a progressive and steady decline. Inclement weather held con- sturctlon activity to a minimum during the month, however, in many areas work inside buildings continued. Normal operation Is reported In the sawmill and logging iudstury despite adverse weather. Most firms are taking the opportunity to carry out maintenance work. Little or no Improvement Is reported in the lumber market. Shingle mills returned to the usual production January, 15th.

Secretary- Ernie Rice. Phone 8156.2837 Nineteen were present at our last general meeting. It Is hoped that we will have a much larger turnout at our next meeting. There was a 100 per cent turn out to the executive meeting, so perhaps this may be an Indication of better turn outs at the general meetings. The subject of dues was discussed and the amount and policy was left to the executive after certain recommendations were made. Decorative concrete planter boxes to help beautify the main thoroughfare of Aldergrove was agreed upon as the centennial project for the Aldergrove C. of C. Indications are that the Langley Centennial Committee will provide an equitable portion of the expense for this project. Geoff Row. ley will report on the provision of Christmas tree lights for next year at the next meeting. Business window displays and domestic dwelling decorations were thought to be much Improved over previous Christmas seasons. Action is expected on the Boundy Road sidewalk in the near future, * * * The executive meeting concerned itself with discussing revision of the account on Aldergrove In the "Regional In. vestment Opportunities In B.C. Report" put out by the Department of Trade and Commerce, the need for a liquor store in Aldergrove, and the lack ot satisfaction from and ineffectiveness ot the Liquor Control Board in dealing with briefs sent in by the Aldergrove C. of C. in the past. There was much curiosity expressed about what Is In the wind on the Beliingham •Aldergrove highway and the necessity to bring it up to highway specifications at the earliest possible time. The need to paint the curbs and renovate parking signs in Aldergrove will be looked Into. The executive also decided at the request of the general meeting, on policy of C. of C. dues. It was decided that a voting member pay $10 as is common in other C ot Cs in B.C. and that non-voting associate member be charged $3.00, and that hi the event of the voting member being absent, the associate member be empowered to cast a vote on the absent members behalf. Cor Hunenstyn, Cliff Watt, and yours truly have each had a session in hospital this winter. Now our president, Fred Dams, has had his turn. He thinks he lost something while be was In there. Perhaps his tonsils. (Let's hope his voice doesn't change!) Frank Schuster is being contacted to come to our next meeting to discuss equitable distribution of police protection in Aldergrove. This has been an important issue with te citizens of Aldergrove. * * *" The Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary Association of citizens to promote the commercial, Industrial, agricultural, and civic welfare of your community.

Box 220, Aldergrove Phone 856-8303 Scute*, SaUCu . . . By ADA MAE DUECK Food ... one of the most Important items in life is also the most troublesome. When you are young, there are so many things you don't want to eat and have to, and then when you get my age, there are so many things you want to eat and can't, A rule In our house is that you must eat some of everything with the exception of dessert. The children are allowed the choice of one Item in vegetables they don't have to eat. The trouble with this rule is that they try and change this Item to suit the occasion. The other day we were talk Ing about how they got out of eating certain foods. Oldest daughter said she put hers on the leaf that is stored under the table. Number one son used his pockets. Youngster daughter, who is sent to her room to eat quiteoften.usesanoldgreen play purse. Or should I say used to, now they have to think of new tricks. My brother and I also lived under the same regulations. I didn't have too much trouble being a good eater (my figure shows this), but always hated turnips. Still do. So waited till mother left the dining room and put the turnips down the register. Often wonder what the Inside of those pipes looked like. Brother hated tomatoes but he never told me how he got around the problem. Read in one of the home making manuals you find on the news stand that if children fuss about eating, don't make them eat. At this rate, the children would grow up eating nothing but candy, pop corn and ice cream. This was proved to me when a 12-year-old that 1 know of, was taken to the hospital and it was found she was suffering from malnutrition. Her mother ran a cafe and let the child eat whatever she wanted. This ended up as chips, pop and candy. The only thing that kep her going as long as she did was that occassionally Instead of pop she had a milkshake. Another of the rules, is that you can have as much as you want, but you MUST eat all you take. Sometimes wonder about number one son when he is on this third plateful but he always manages. I can remember, one Christmas during the war. taking a dozen bottles of home made root beer upstairs with my brother. My mother said, "Are you sure you can drink all that." "Yes, mother." However, our eyes were bigger than our capacity, so It rained rootbeer that day. The fight almost every day with littlest one paid off the other day when we were invited to supper. Our hostess chopped up potatoes, vegetables and meat and put it In a bowl for our six year old. I didn't say anything as it was all ready done, just crossed my fingers. And she ate it all. Made me feel rather proud. This, on top of the fact that she was made to sit In. a high chair, really made the accomplishment terrific. Now ... I'm a big girl, literally, and would eat anything (with the exception of turnips) well, maybe even turnips some days. And what do I eat, cottage cheese, eggs, grapefruit and some lean meat. Even when I lose the required tonnage, still can't eat desserts, potatoes, bread or my favorite, noodles Romanoff. Read somewhere that if you chew your food one hundred times It helps with dieting. Ever tried to chjw cottage cheese. Had company on the weekend and ate regular mals plus just a few baked cookies. Gained three pounds. Perhaps this indicated that I need a job requiring more physical exertion, Anyone need a ditch digger? A hungry ditch digger??

Phone Abb. 853-1166 Page Four The Central Fraser Valley Echo Monday, February 14th, 1966 KNOW YOUR HEART (Your Heart Foundation presents a four part series on heart disease to inform the public of the progress being made to combat this twentieth century health hazard.) YOUR HUSBAND'S HEART By JOHN B. ARMSTRONG, M.D. Canadian Heart Foundation The heart you save may be - your husband's. Now, even more than in your courting days, you hold the key to his heart, and to the health of his heart. This is not meant to put wives on the spot, nor to saddle them with guilt complexes about their responsibility for their husband's weU.belng. But our new and ever-growing knowledge of the correlation between certain environmental factors and the likelihood of getting a heart attack presents us with the opportunity to control these factors to some extent, and thereby reduce the risk. For example, you can't do very much about the tensions and pressures your husband encounters in his work environ- ment. But you can make it a point not to add to them when he comes home. And home is where his heart is - about 70 percent of the time. Then tere's the question of wha he eats - for which you are primarily responsible, The pundit who said the surest way to a man's heart is via his stomach did not have heart attacks in mind, but you should. For evidence is growing that the diet of the American people Is a major factor contribution to the high coronary heart disease death rate in our country - chiefly our consumption of foods high in saturated (animal) fats and cholesterol. And statistics show that American men at age 50 have a heart attack death rate five times as high as that for women of the same age. You can help lower these odds for your husband. While you're substituting vegetable oils and other polyun- saturated fats for animals fats in cooking and at the table, you and your children wiU reap long-range benefits: lower blood levels of cholesterol and other fats and lower risk of developing coronary atherosclerosis - the disease that clogs the arteries feeding the heart muscle and sets the stage for heart attacks. Your husband may be risking a heart attack on other fronts as well. Does he hold down a swivel chair at a desk all day, and an arm chair in front of the TV set all evening? Does he drive to ty corner store for a pack of cigarettes? And how many packs a day does he smoke? There are at least two high-risk elements in that picture, and a third if he is smoking heavily because of tension. And there may be another hidden risk or two, not visible to the naked eye: for example, high blood pressure or dia. betes, Only a medical examination can disclose these and other significant conditions; rgular check-ups can catch them early enough to treat before they do serious damage. So, if your husband hasn't been feeling up to par lately, or even if he has, a wifely suggestion might be In order. You might hint gently that the time has come for him to get a complete medical check-up; or better yet, take matters into your own hands and make an appointment for him. It's good Insurance. POPULAR DUO Program of Park by Reeve Rod and Charles continue to be the most popular performers on CBC radio, as the continual flow of letters from their loyal listeners attests Rod Coneybeare (right) and Charles Winter are featured in their own series—combining zany humor with useful information —each weekday evening on the CBC radio network. An extensive programof park work was outlined by Reeve J. A. Murphy at the Clearbrook Board of Trade meeting. He told the meeting that several properties had been ac- quled to add to the present fair grounds. This had brought total fair ground acreage to almost 40 acres. The projected total land area would exceed SO acres. This would allow for an ampltheatre, sports field, room for the community centre, parking and for picnic sites. Ohter areas that are being landscaped and prepared for play areas are:7acres on Grant stret, two lots on Clearbrook, Gardiner Park Just off highway 401 west of Clearbrook and the 18 acre park, on the Matsqui Abbotsford boundary. He said that the latter park would be kept in a natural state, with Birth WHITEHEAD - To Mr. and Mrs, Jim Whitehead (nee Sharon Batts) Of 16911.96th Ave., Cloverdale, B.C. in the Langley Memorial Hospital a daughter Brenda Lynn weight six pounds and eight ounces, a sister for Chrlssie.

Elephant Brand HIGH QUALITY FERTILIZERS tor crop, .. real as money itself HUNTER VOGEL REPORTS FROM The LEGISLATURE The entire mood of this Legislature seems to be a preoccupation with the report on redistribution prepared by the commission under Dr. Henry F. Angus. The people of Delta as it presently exists, would be most interested in knowing what representation Is recommended Tor our own communites. The proposal for Delta is as follows: LANGLEY becomes a new constituency. The western boundaries would be the Coast Mer- edlan road; the eastern boundary is in the Clearbrook area; thus Langley constituency would Involve not only LangleyClty and langley municipality, but the Cloverdale area plus the municipality of Matsqui. SURREY constituency does not coincide with municipal boundaries. Thewesternportior of Surrey, all of White Rock and Crescent Beach have been deleted. DELTA. Here the former name is applied to a new reduced area. This consists of Delta municipality combined roughtly with WhiteRock.Cres- cent Beach, and that portion of Surrey municipality bounded by the Archibald road, a job on the Newton road, and then south on Archibald to theKlng George highway. RICHMOND will be a new constituency coinciding with municipal boundaries. This, 1 am sure, will be a happy situation, satisfactory to the residents of Richmond and the Reeve and Council. In summary this might be said. The representation now advocated for the former Delta area is generous. Four members are recommended where two formerly functioned. However, the total area has been increased by the addition of Matsqui. The proposed partition of Surrey municipality Is unfortunate, and against the advice given by myself. The report has been tabled in the House without having been examined or even seen by government members. Tbegov- ernment will bring In a bill based upon the report. The bill will come to caucus. Government members will then have an opportunity to speak. Finally the bill will be introduced Into the House and debated by both sides at that tine. The indication Is that the opposition members wlU support a Bill which follows the Commission Report closely. Changes of any kind will be difficult to advocate, and looked upon with disfavor.
