Do you remember tlie great escape from Alcatraz five years ago? The break that made head lines for days in tlie big newspapers across the continent? The first and only successful cs cape ever to be staged during the almost 30-year history of the federal top-maximum-secur- ity prison in San Francisco Day, and which probably was the indirect cause of the closing down of the gaol by the federal govern ment the following year? Oh yes, you remember? Well, what you probably don't know is that a man who claimed to be one of the three escapees, after hiding out from the F. B. I. in the United States for almost a year came to Aldergrove and that he wrote a story of the escape, the events that originally brought him in conflict with society and subsequently from one prison to another until he finally ended up in the dreaded "Rock" in the middle of icy, stormy San Francisco Bay, His story he sold to the publisher of this paper in order to obtain enough money to reach his ultimate destination hi Canada, and in a forthcoming issue we will bring the first installment of this fascinating^ook. The book has been slightly rewritten from the original primitive penciled manuscript without changing of any facts. Incidentally it was turned over to the Langley municipal RCMP detachment who in turn forwarded it to the F.B.I, for study. The book, which we are going to bring in its full length has never before been published and we are proud to be able to bring to you, our readers, a first account of this interesting story which involved our town and a number of our local residents to such a great extent.

This plan has been submitted to Victoria, but the Pollution Control Board wanted a few changes made. The engineers are at the present time working on these changes, and it is now hoped that the vote on the plan can be made in conjunction with the ; December election. George Shean suggested to the Chamber that it write the new Bank of Ii. C. asking the board to investigate the possibilities CATTLE TRUCK OVERTURNS ON FREEWAY Seven cows were killed and 44 others enjoyed a few hours of freedom when a cattle truck overturned early Saturday moming on the Trans-Canada highway nine miles east of Abbotsford. The truck driver was not seriously injured when his vehicle struck a power pole. The freed cattle caused a serious traffic hazard on the four-lane freeway until rounded up and herded to nearby pasture land. Two members of the Abbotsford Riding Club assisted police and Highway Department crews round up the cattle.

Langley Memorial Fully Accredited Langley Memorial Hospital has been awarded full accreditation status following a field survey in July 1967 by a medical representative of the Canadian council. The first survey in October 1966 resulted in a provisional accreditation status. The council is comprised of the following mem bers, 1.) Canadian Hospital Association, 2.) Canadian Medical Association, and 3.) The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. The award states in part that the administration Is commended on a smoothly running, well- organized hospital, with good attention given to safety factors. The medical, nursing, and supporting staff ate commended on the very high volume of good medical care provided within the excellent facilities of this hospital, A certificate of accreditation will be issued by the council board of directors. New Sport for Valley A sport which has been common in the old country for a number of years will soon be introduced in the Langley district, according to recreational director Pete Swensson. Pete brought back the idea from a recent visit to his native Sweden. The sport, called Orienteering, is still only on the planning stage here, but it is hoped to have the first event in the spring or possibly sooner, Pete says. The groups participating in orienteering will be given corn- pas directions and a map with the meeting points marked, they will then set off on their own, and only guided by the compass and following the route on the map will they find their way to the given meeting point. This sport, if learned properly, can be practiced and should be practiced by everyone who delights in long walks in the forest, hunters and hikers alike, and it could also very well become a means of saving lives, perhaps that of your own, or those of the search party setting out to look for lost wanderers and hunters in Canada's vast untamed nature. A good compass will never send you off on a wrong track if you know how to use it. A committee was appointed by the commission to look into the possibilities of such an event inside the Langley district. A petition for a tennis court, signed by a number of Aldergrove citizens has been sent to council, Pete Swensson reports. This petition asked that council take the plans for a tenniscourt in the Aldergrove Park into consideration for next years budget, and those signed will form a tennis- club to operate the court.

Two other youths who were involved in this break-in had appeared in court at an earlier date. Glenn 1. Morning, C. S.B., of San Francisco will give a Christian Science lecture in Cloverdale on Monday, October 23rd, discussing how a spiritual standpoint in life turns trouble into opportunity. of opening a branch of the bank in Aldergrove. The reason behind his suggestion, he said, would be the central location of Aldergrove midway between Vancouver and Chilliwack, and the fact that there is access to industrial loans in the Valley, unless you take your business to Vancouver. A committee headed by Jeff Rowley, the outgoing president, was ordered by the Chamber to arrange the Christmas decorations for Aldergrove, It was discussed whether to change the present method of stringing the Christmas lights across the street into a system of asking the individual businessmen to hang outside lights around their own store windows, and then use the existing lights to decorate a Christmas tree on the comer of Fraser Highway and Jackman Rd. by B. C. Telephone. The committee was also asked to look into the possibility of getting Santa Clans to visit Aldergrove this year. A letter is in the mail already and should reach the North Pole soon. The committee will also consider a decorating contest of private homes. Art Dingley and Inge Langmann volunteered to serve on this com mlttee. Two Auto accidents in Valley Two accidents in the Fraser Valley Friday night sent several persons to hospital with undetermined injuries at Mission and Langley. Mission municipal police investi gated a multi- car accident a mile west of town in which several persons were injured and taken to nearby Mission hospital..

Aldergrove Residents in Magistrate Court Melvin Douglas Goin, Michael Gardner and a juvenile, all of Aldergrove, appeared in Magistrates court last Thursday, charged with breaking, entering and theft.and the possession of a stolen vehicle. The offence took place Wednesday night in Fort Langley, where Husbond's Radio and T. V. was broken into, and two taperecord- ers and four transistor radios were stolen from the premises. The trio pleaded guilty to the charges and was remanded in custody pending trial on October 19th. R.C.M. P. apprehended Goin when he drove the stolen pickup truck into a ditch, and his arrest led to the arrest of Gardner and the juvenile. The juvenile boy was also charged with breaking, entering and theft from the Otter Elementary School earlier, when a tapere- corder and several other articles were stolen. All the stolen ar- •/ tides were recovered. Goln was also fined $50 for an earlier offence when the police caught him consuming liquor at a public place, outside the Oasis Drive- in in Aldergrove. Charged with possession of liquor being under the age of 21, and fined $25 each were Douglas Moss and Bud Sturmey of Aldergrove, The offence took place two weeks earlier when they were caught by R.C.M, P. outside the Oasis Drive-in in Alder grove. James Gordon Miller was charged with obstruction of a police officer and fined $50 in Magistrates court Thursday. Miller had under the influence of liquor driven his car into the ditch on River Road near Armstrong, and when police ordered a wrecker to remove the vehicle he tried to resist this, Police wanted the vehicle removed because it was a hazard to other drivers on the narrow road. Lawrence Meerman of Aldergrove was fined $15 for wilful damage and sentenced to make restitution of $12.50 for breaking a mirror in a Langley business establishment. Robert Coghlll was fined $25 for driving without being in possession of a valid driver's licence. Five directors have been elected to the recently created B, C. Egg Marketing Board.

LETTERS to the EDITOR Preachers Should Understand A preacher said the other day that he had been told that a man could not stay in business and be honest. This is a shocking assertion and it is appalling that anyone should believe it. Business can be and usually is honest in its dealings with customers and competitors. It would not be dishonest for a businessman to prefer not to share with competitors information that might help the competitors to achieve more than their fair share of the business that is going. It is proper enough for a man in business to be aggressive and truly competitive. preachers should have a better understanding of competition than most. They have been competing with the devil for a long time. Keeping Busy The late J.Gray Turgeon, senator, once said that hehadreceived from an adviser seventy years before some sound advice on how to get along in the civil service without half trying. The trick was for the young or not so young man, whenever he left his desk, to take with him a not too heavy file of papers. With it he would be able to wander all around Ottawa without being questioned about what he was doing. It is suspected that similar habits prevail today in more than one government office and in some that are not governmental. Men are seen wandering around carrying a file of papers. They go in one door and out another and seem never to have any particular errand or destination. Towards the end of the working day they put the file in a desk. No one can be convinced that they have not been working and using a lot of shoe leather. Hallowe'en for UNICEF Children know that one UNICEF penny will pay the freight on enough free surplus milk powder to send six glasses of milk to a hungry child in an impoverished land. They know that five pennies will buy enough penicillin to cure two children cf yaws;that ten will cure a child's trachoma; that twenty-five will vaccinate 20 children against TB. What they don't know is that in some villages in Turkey today, parents don't register a baby's birth right away; they wait first to see if it will live. And if the mother loses her first child, she makes it a point not to prepare any clothes for the second until she's sure it will survive. Even so, the children are trying to help these infants to live by collecting pennies on Hallowe'en . The candies and apples they collect in shopping bags that night may end up as stomach-aches next day, but the pennies they get may end up in Turkey, shortening the appalling odds against survival in countries where one child in six dies before its first year is out. The children understand this part of it, and that's why they're collecting "pennies for UNICEF" on Hallowe'en.

GIVEN UNDER MY HAND AT MURRAYVILLE. B.C~~th-3 lift day of October, A.D. 1967. D.J.DOUBLEDAY Municipal Clerk. Editor, Dear Sir: With regard to Mr. Douglas Taylor's letter of last week in which he attacks the Republican Party of Canada's stand on the formation of a republic in this country we believe that the answer to this nation's disunity does not lie in making the French Canadian more French or the English Canadian more English. Instead in the interest of unity it is time we all put aside our ethnic and other nationalistic differences and every one of us strive to be Canadian first and not think of ourselves as English Canadian oi Italian Canadian etc, It is only in this way we can unite this great and beautiful country of ours. With respect to the Monarchy, this nation is comprised of over eight million Canadians who do not stem from either French or English descent. This is oyer a third of the population. There fore, it is our belief that the Monarchy is not representative of the people of this country today. The Republican Party was founc ed by people who have become deeply concerned about the trends of disunity in Canada today and with the stand taken by the Conservatives and N.D.P. that the country become two nations as well as the Liberal advocation of special status for the Province of Quebec. Mr. Taylor, please understand we are not against the Monarch we are NOT ami-British, but wearePRO- CANADIAN and if we are to surviv' as a nation we must all forget a little of the past in order that there may be a future for our children as Canadians. Yours very truly, Chris Weicht, Candidate for Fraser Valley West, Republican Party of Canada. From the Ladles Goat-Tying Event.... - sur photo- Barry Mather Reports Wants Federal Inquiry Ottawa -- Two Federal Departments have indicated their concern in rising health care costs and one has plans to place fur ther measures, in that regard, before Parliament this session. Replying to Barry Mather, M. P. (NDP New Westminster) the Honorable Allan J, McEachen, Minister of National Health and Welfare and, the Honorable John N.Turner, Registrar General, said that while they do notshare Mather's belief, that a federal inquiry should be held into health costs, they are watching the situation. The Honorable Allan J. McEachen stated in a letter to Mather: "I would say that current devel opments, of which I am fully aware, are not of a nature to warrant an investigation such as you suggest. With respect tothe future implementation of Provincial medical care plans, it is expected that the basis for payment for doctors' services will be a matter for each provincial plan to negotiate and arrange with the appropriate medical body. There is no statutory power whatsoever in the Legislation limiting provincial autonomy in this regard, and, in fact, there is no way in which the federal government could intervene with provincial arrangements, with regard to fees." The Registrar General also.fiolds this point of view: - "I understand that a major factor in the increase in health" costs has been a sharp rise in medical fees. This, as you know, is a matter within provincial jurisdiction. The introduction of Medicare, however, should ease the burden especially for those on relatively lower or fixed incomes." The several inquiries in recent years into the cost of health services and the elimination of the federal sales tax on drugs, plus the easing of anti-dumping duties on imported drugs are cited by Mr. Turner as indicative of the government's concern in the matter raised by the local M.P.

Best all-round cowboy was Barry Worde, and best all-round cow girl was Dianne White. They were both presented with a solid silver buckle. As a special event there were two horses brought Into the arena. One was Sun's Shakedown, a Tennessee Walking Horse, owned and ridden by Art Friesen, the other Li'l King Canuck, a quarter horse owned and ridden by Dorothy Todhunter and demonstrating the famous flatfooted walk of the Tennessee walker. The Tennessee horse was kept at the flatfooted walk and allowed to increase his speed as the quarter horse went from the walk up through the gaits and to the gallop. This was a very remarkable performance. For anyone interested in this type of horse, the Tennessee horse is stabled at the Fordane Farms, and tlie quarter horse is at the home of the Todhunter's in Lang ley. Richard Gear, the cowboy who was thrown off the horse in the Saddle Bronk riding, was treated in hospital and returned soon to watch the rest of the show. In the fall, the horse stepped on him and he had to be treated for a bad gash, but he is reported just fine. Subscribe tc- THE STAR- t$NLY;$3£Sf PER" YEAR Thanksgiving Services at Olivet Mission ' by Mary Hildebrand Our Thanksgiving Services were somewhat different from those of previous years. Instead of hav ing a noon fellowship lunch in the basement, and a continuation of church services in the afternoon, we all went home to a noonday meal with our own families, followed by a "quiet time" for seme and perhaps a "gab-fest" for others. Our morning worship service began with the choir's stirring rendition of "Praise ye the Lord of Hosts." The words of this song were, indeed, a challenge to all of us. How often we forget to give due honor and glory to our Lord and Redeemer! Our main speaker for the morning was Rev. Malcolm Wenger. He has devoted twenty years to missionary work among the Indians in our northern provinces. The theme of his message was, "If it had not been the Lord who was on our side," Psalm 124, He spoke of the hardships and difficulties which they had encountered, but none of them had been insurmountable, because the Lord had been on then- side. Another highlight in our moming worship service was the reception of three new members. We are happy that Mr.and Mrs. Isaac Dyck, formerly of Rosthem, Sask. and their daughter Maryann joined our church fellowship. Following the reception. Rev. Buhler held a short dedication service for Maryann, who is leaving for a year of voluntary service in a childrens hospital In Laurel, Maryland. Rev. Buhler's admonition to Maryann was, "Live for your Master, and serve Him faithfully." Although Maryann's departure means the loss of our church organist, we, nevertheless, wish her "Godspeed", and may the Lord richly bless her. The church auditorium was again almost filled to capacity as young and old gathered for the evening service. The program consisted of voluntary testimonies, and the viewing of the film, "A Letter to Nancy, "b This outstanding film reaches deeply into the heart of family life, and I believe that no parent who saw it will ever be able to erase it from his or her mind complete- Who determines what your life shall be?

School District #35 (Langley) Adult Education Department, __________0____ ttf IfamSeAaotA aad'tyotc By Bob McLellan The McGraw Hill dictionary of education defines the exceptional child as a loose term used to cover children who have abnormal physical, mental or social differences. Society, however, too often has the habit of labelling everyyoung- ster who does not fit into the common mold as a juvenile delinquent or social misfit. The school councelling psychologist for Langley School District, Mr. Colin Stewart, says the non-conformist in our society (who may be a creative child, who sees things and does things different ly than the accepted normal manner) is often tagged with an incorrect label. This habit has a built in danger, according to Mr. Stewart, since labels tend to motivate the individual to live up . to its terms. Educators are realizing that there are many kinds of exceptional children -- ranging from the social misfit to the extremely gifted youngster -• all of them requiring special attention in the school system. Mr. Stewart says it is important to recognize differences in patterns of behaviour among youngsters early In their school career. With early diagnosis, he says, it is possible to channel a youngster into better behaviour patterns, Mr, Stewart says the schools have a responsibility to attempt to arrest the symptoms of behaviour problems, but that it is important to establish a cooperative effort between ttie home and school. The more dialogue between the two tlie better, says Mr, Stewart, offering a much better chance fur a consistent approach toward helping and understanding an exceptional child. Mr. Stewart says there is recognition among an increasing number dI school districts that a need docs exist, especially at the elemen tary level, to allow for the development of these youngsters with emotional disturbances, rion- conformists and others with behaviour al differences. An example of this recognition, according to Mr. Stewart, is that curriculum in the schools is becoming less rigid, more geared to individual differences. However, he adds, there is still terrific pressure on youngsters to succeed -- a pressure that leads to confusion between the anxiety of parents and teachers with regard to successful future development of our youngsters and the realistic need to have programs geared, as closely as possible, to the need of the child.
