'Grove end FortLangley Not Interested In Centre Meeting Will Deal With Parking By law A joint meeting of the boards of trade and chambers of commerce of Fort Langley, Aldergrove, Langley and Cloverdale took place last Tuesday night in Langley. '- Also present at die joint meeting was alderman Keith Beadle representing Ungley city mayor Len Nicholas. Mayor Bill Poppy of Langley district had backed off in die last minute as the flu bug had caught up with him. Before the meeting went into session George Preston introduced a representative from can- no Engineers who presented the proposed plan for a community centre in Langley city. The plans showed a regulation-size Ice arena with dressing rooms and an additional seven curling sheets, the proposed seating capacity being 750 persons. The construction cost of this building would be $1/2-million, and would take six months to complete, said the engineer. At a later date, he added, the building could be extended a further 68 feet on the curling rink part, providing an additional regulation-size ice arena. Keith Beadle asked why there '"-■ ■•* ; ■■ ■■ - - ^?®k& Signs To Promote Park Wanted The Aldergrove & district cham ber of commerce will contact Langley district council to ask that die municipality put up signs at the western and eastern entrance to the town, informing tourists of the Aldergrove Park, swimming pool and tennis court. A third sign by 271st .Street will also be requested, showing the way to the park. It was felt by the membership that not enough people realize that there are park and picnic grounds Available in Aldergrove, being as it is that the park is a bit out of the beaten track. At the present time there are no sighs informing people of the tourist facilities. Watch for announcements in next week's issue of the Aldergrove .Star as to the forming of an Aidergrove Tennis Club. were no provisions made for using the arena for agricultural shows'and horse shows, as he could not see any provisions for this in the plans. Canton's representative answered that he saw no provisions for this in the plans because Canton had not been told that such "were required, but adjustments could be made,"" .•'..•■-■'.■' The discussion was brought to an abraptstapwheflDriRcbertMciut the president of the Aldergrove chamber, asked why this presentation was made at this point, he had been "under die impression that this was supposed to be a joint meeting of the chambers',' and he ''failed to see how this presentation fitted in." Preston answered that it had . been for informative purposes " only, and asked If the meeting had lost anything by listening. Les Hague, of Aldergrove answered that they had hot gained anything either. Ron Adair, speaking for the Fort Langley board of trade, stated that it was not likely that Fort Langley residents would be Interested in an ice arena at this point at all, when there were no sewer and water installations in his town. "It would be like buying the Cadillac before the house, with the probability that you would never get the house," Adair said. He added that he hoped this would not come to . council level before the feelings of the districts were felt. (Editor's note; A straw poll was conducted last December in Aldergrove by The Star, This questionnaire proved that the majority of the residents of Aldergrove were in favor of a com munity hall in the town of Aldergrove rather than a big complex in Langley city). A meeting of representatives from district and city councils, the citizens committee to the Langley community centre, and hopefully, representatives from various points ofthe municipa- .. llty, is scheduled to take place tonight. Wednesday, March 19. Here the centre will be discussed further, the meeting was informed. The meeting was then called-to onier and other business dealt with. ■■■".'■ «'*.' '-■■>■; A public meeting will be held on Thursday, March 20th in the OAP Hall on 273rd Street in Aldergrove. The meeting is called by municipal council to hear the public's feeling on the proposed off- street parking bylaw for Aldergrove. A bylaw has been prepared on the request of the Aldergrove chamber and the town planning board. It outlines In detail the amount of parking spaces required for public buildings, churches hotels anit_B^rarjty.<tbeverage rbonis, halls and stores,"" -v The chamber and the planning board have asked that these regu lations be made law for Aldergrove because of the fact that die town is now plagued with a serious parking problem. One example to illustrate this fact, die chamber pointed out, was die recent renovations to the Alder Inn Hotel when the building and the beverage room were enlarged to provide for an enlarged attendance capacity. However, said the chamber, no provision was made for similar additional parking facilities, on the contrary, some of the former parking lot was used for the addition of die building. Although these regulations cannot be made retroactive they will hinder further problems in the future, but at the same time the planning board and die chamber do not wish to make them to stringent for future developers in town. ___________________—«_. Plant Obsolete? Asks Businessman Concern jyas^pressed at the monthly meeting of the Aldergrove and district chamber of commerce last week over the recent report tiiat an informal inquiry to Langley municipal hall regarding the possible installation of a carwash in Aldergrove had been turned down. The reason being given by mu- nicipal hall was that the effluent from such an operation could not be allowed to pass Into the present sewer system, and the Aldergrove storm sewers were not able to handle the extra load. Les Hague, of Oasis Drive-In, asked if our sewer plant and system were obsolete before they even went into operation, and said, that When he enquired with municipal planning officer, Ken Major, he was told that an engineering report stated that the sewage plant was unable to cope with die oil and silt from such an operation, and further that after a winter like the recent, where a lot of salt had been used on die roads, this excess amount of salt going into die plant would kill die bacteria development." "When I checked with an engineer working on the sewer project," said Hague, "1 was told Please turn to Page 7 Do They Want Trouble? Takeipur KidsTo Their Offices, Says Psychologist "If It is trouble they want from us, I hope this audience is full of potential troublemakers, "one of the organizers of a public' meeting to deal with die special classes situation in Langley school district told the audience of a- bout 200 Thursday night, "Every body seems to be afraid of our superintendent," said Mrs. Barbi- eri. "but it's about time we stop ped being Intim idated." The meeting was called by Mrs. Barbieri and Mrs. Eileen Blanchett to assess the public's reaction to the phasing out of special classes in the district. Two classes of slow learners were integrated into die normal class system last October, and the remaining special classes are expected to cease existence by the end of June this .year.: . A panel of four composed of a child psychologist, a correctional social worker; a superintendent of special education and a UBC professor answered questions from the floor. The psychologist, Dr. Keith Aikens, told die audience that' the classes might be phased out completely by June, but in all likelihood they would be back in existence die following November. "But if the school board won't listen to you," Aikens said, "I suggest you take your children down to play in their offices and let diem handle the situation from there on." Elimination of the special classes were not a way of saving money, "Aikens said, and add- - ed, "Victoria is even talking at the present thne of establishing a department of special education." The meeting was attended by.a number of teachers and principals from the district and also present were four of the five' local school trustees. District superintendent Harold Stafford ami board chairman Jack Dunham were absent. The reason for the elimination of the special classes were that V the stigma to a student was greater than- any benefit derived; die meeting was told. "I don't believe in that," Aikens said, pi have had students of special classes tell me: 'I don't care what they call me. For the first time in my life I feel I'm achiev ing something*." On a show of hands nobody, ap- . peared satisfied with the policy of the school board to eliminate these classes, while a majority of the audience indicated as their wish that the'school board take a second look. A brief, signed by some 350 parents, was presented to die school board January 27th, Mrs. Barbieri said, but "ignored by Mr. Stafford who admitted die full responsibility for all the board's decisions." Contacted the following day Mr. Stafford declined to comment on the controversy. The STAR, Wed..March 19,1969 ii tfJ.1V>} CENTRAL FRASER VALLEY STAR PUBLICATIONS .

Aldergrove Phone 856-8302 Mite Is Rite by Rudy Langmann Was I shocked? -- No, I wasn't even surprised when I read about how the giant vultures of the mining industry were running all over the interior British Columbia Indian reserve staking off mining claims. This is nothing new; rathe* history repeating itself. The native inhabitants of this continent were from the earliest dayschas ed from place to place deprived of their livelihoods by the white man, and finally shut in on barren reservations where they could not possibly eke out a living. There they had to remain, grabbing the hand-outs thrown to them by their "civilized benefactors." But they only stayed in any one place until the white man needed to push a road or a railway through the reservation --or until gold was found in "them hills." Lately a subsidiary company of the U. S. industrial octopus, Bethlehem Copper, struck gold --or rather an immense copper deposit in the area surrounding the Cook's Ferry Indian reservation in the Cariboo, and of course suspected that a great ore is located beneath the soil of the reservation as well. So ~ what is easier for the American company than to send their crews In on the Indian land, staking it off for mining claims. The fact that it is Indian land but in a defunct and shady private company which the government has been feather-bedding for a number of years. Unfortunately this newspaper is Canadian-owned and doesn't believe in racketeering. If instead it was owned by a handful of promoters with headquarters in. Timbuktu I imagine that it could receive from our great white 'father in Victoria all the help it needed In fleecing British Columbians. But then, what is a mere three million dollars? Only less than half of one per cent of our 1969 budget. And we British Columbians, living in our "dynamic society", can surely afford to turn this "surplus" over to Commonwealth Trust as an interest- free loan for a period of five years. Our premier is sure this will bring the company back on its feet by enabling It to sell new shares -- also on a non-profit time basis. I wonder if people, even observing Mr. Bennett's noble gesture, ever again will trust in Common wealth Trust. It seems more likely to methat we might have another "bond- fire" in 1974 --this time three million dollars worth, and maybe as a funeral pyre over a government which was too generous in spending the public's "surpluses," doesn't bother the company officials, nor does it troublethese f (*.<•} InrrAncAfl Rv same gentlemen that Chief V,TOT ■ntrea-wU 0/ Walkem and his band already F • _ Tki,..- nn J have staked their very ownland r IV _ I liwuauiiu in an effort to keep the mining rights and better their own lives.

The railway track which blocked off the fine White Rock beach will go. Bill no. 42 just came Into the | house. It was introduced by the Hon. Frank Richter in his capacity as minister of transport. The title is "An Act for the Improvement of White Rock and Adjacent Areas." Many of us have talked about getting the railroad out of White Rock. I spoke about it at length in a debate last year. Robert Wen- man, MLA for Delta, has been keen on the subject. At one time it looked like a pipe dream. The super- port at Roberts Bank changed the picture and made it possible. This is a side benefit of the rail route that was recommended by Joseph Broadbent and finally adopted. It was a strong reason for the vigorous support I gave tothe so-called southern route. nswers Planning Board Opposed The Lower Mainland Regional Planning Board did their best to wreck the plan, This board advocated a route along the Fraser River. I discussed the alternatives with the LMRPB arid was told by a high official that removal of the tracks from White Rock was not an important point. Thkexto^inary opinion from a plfifiier shattered my faith in this particular organization. Fortunately die planning board got no support in Langley and only minority support in other municipalities. Problems Of Relocation The rail removal improves the choice recreational and residential area of White Rock. It poses some brand new problems for the Langley MLA. Mr. Broadbent in his report, said this: "The problem of the Great Northern trains operating through the White Rock-Crescent Beach area can be solved by establishing a sinew route from Blaine to a point south of Cloverdale utilizing the Great Northern's old route which could be reoc- cupied. This route would provide Great Northern with future access to Roberts Bank." Any relocation causes problems. I know one fine new home that is very close to the old grade which is to be reoccupi- ed. We will deal with the problems as fairly as we can. Many people think they're overworked just because it takes them all day to do a 3-hour job. In his column last week Hunter Vogel made some remarks about the NDP and Unions which deserve an answer from the opposite point of view. He claims that the NDP speaks only for die union power structure. Mr. Vogel is obviously not aware of the fact that all of the policies of the New Democratic Party are formed at their annual conventions. The delegates to these annual conventions are chosen by the membership at constituency meetings, and by some trade unions which are entitled to send delegates. The Fraser Valley local of the Woodworkers Union, which has about twelve hundred members, sends four delegates. The Langley Constituency Association, which has about two hundred members, sends eight delegates. In each case the delegates are elected by the membership, to carry out the withes of the membership. How an intelligent person could say that this represented the union power structure, is beyond our understanding. Mr. Vogel also said that the unions donate vast sums to the NDP, We ask him to put his money where his mouth is. If he will pay for the services of a Chartered Accountant, we will open the books of the Langley Constituency Association and . let the accountant look for union donations. Let Mr. Vogel first state what he thinks this "vast" siim would be in the case of Langley constituency, then let him donate to his favorite charity the difference between the -,.- amount he states and the amount die accountant finds. If Mr. Vogel is willing, we will try for a similar arrangement at our provincial office level. His remarks about the unions and Indians are also unfair. Just exactly what Frank Calder said in the legislature is uncertain, because our .Socred government will not allow a Hansard; but certainly the Indians in his constituency are having considerable employment problems. If their most frequent contact is with the unions, they may be inclined to blame the problem on the unions. In die cases where a union sends its members out to jobs, the union will not take in new members if there are no job's for them, and it Is as simple as that. The union is in effect saying, "We will not uke your money for membership dues because we still have to find jobs for a great many of our present members who are unemployed." The answer is the same for everybody, not only Indians. Unemployment is the problem, not discrimination. In other unions, such as the IWA, which do not have union hiring hall arrangements, union membership is require.} AFTER the man gets the job, not before. These are the facts. We would be delighted to have Mr. Vogel challenge them. Glenn C. Haddrell, 30986 Old Yale Road,R. R, #3, Abbotsfoid. For the Ungley Constituency Association, New Democratic Party.

No parents can ignore with impunity the role education plays in tiie future of their children. Some people voted No to the Funior College referendum on the principle that the cost of post secondary education should not be borne by the local home owner. Although In agreement I with tills principle, I personally decided that rather than delay, for perhaps another decade, a facility crucial to needs of the area's young adults, it would be best to establish the coUege, and then work to improve the inequitable financing formula imposed by the dam-oriented provincial government. Constantly facing me are similar decisions. Should one have voted against the Canada Pension Plan because It is inadequate? should one not support charitable organizations and social welfare because they sweep the worst problems quietly under the nig while nothing is done about the economic system causing the problems in the first place? Should the Drug Bill be opposed on the grounds that it will not be effective in preventing the extortion of high drug prices? Usually, it seems more vital to gain a toe hold, while pointing out the deficiencies -- and then push, push, push for improvement. On the subject of improvement; Junior Colleges should be more than a university preparation mill, and I hope Fraser Valley West will feature an educational menu to the young men and women with technical, trade, service and sales ambitions. Sir George Williams AndAIIThat Is a backlash developing to colleges and universities -- in general, attributable to recent excesses on various college campuses throughout the Western World? The public naturally objects strongly to university facilities, largely financed by the ' public purse, being willfully destroyed. Campus issues are cloudy and generally misunderstood by lay people. Certainly the spark that touches off these riots and demonstrations often seem irrelevant, yet if the background of each disturbance is carefully examined, very often it is revealed that student attempts for change through acceptable channels have run into an unyielding barrier of administrative immobility- Saboteurs of society, in the university or outside, are not condoned. But the hard truth is that confrontation does work (though most of us do not have the courage it takes to be a genuine agitator). Emmeline Pankhurst and her marching suffragettes made people very uncomfortable, but now women have the vote. Union leaders have not always been polite, but no one can discount the improvements in wages and working conditions over the past half century. Martin Luther King's initiation of boycotts and sit-ins, though they disturbed many white citizens in the southern United Kates, brought about new nondiscriminatory race laws. His namesake, Martin Luther, and his followers 500 years ago caused a good deal of "trouble" too! And finally, the strength of "Anti-Viet Nam War" dissension while it contributed to the defeat of the Democratic Party at the polls, provoked the resignation of President Johnson and achieved at least the beginning of peace talks to end the conflict. But given the highest ideals, action can go too far, and sometimes within a group there is an extremist element which uses the legitimate grievance to serve its own purpose. When this happens, it makes people more obstinate in doing what ought to be done, producing the opposite effect of what was intended. NOTICE: The House of Common Standing Committee on Agriculture will be sitting in Abbotsford Saturday, April 12th, tohear briefs and beefs. Various interests such as dairies, berries, bulbs, poultry and greenhouses will be on hand to make their views and concerns known.

O.F.I.Experience Another Year Off Increased by Bob McLellan "The problem of use and abuse of drugs Is becoming increasing ly acute and is causing grave concern to all of us in die field of education." That statement was made by education minister Donald Brothers recently when Mr. Brothers announced a conference, to be attended by educators from all over B. C., to discuss the drug problem in the schools and try to arrive at some solutions. The conference was held at the end of February in Bumaby and one of the conclusions leached at the session was that the condition does exist. RogerWinter, director of instruction in Langley school district, says the condition varies in extent from area to area and no particular area was isolated as being a real "trouble spot." The variance, says Mr. Winter, may range from just occasional use by a few in some areas to much heavier use by a large number in another part of the province. Are there youngsters involved in the use of drugs to some extent in the Langley district? Mr. Winter says he has no knowledge of this being actually so but, he adds, we would be rather naive if we imagined they were not being used. Mr. Winter says that the general consensus after the two-day drug conference was that the solution to the drug-use problem Business General Manager Fred Greer, in his report to members of the Otter Farmers' Institute, gives an encouraging report for 1968. Sales last year were up $50,000 to an all-time high of $1,496, 000.00. Member Increase over the year amounts to 205 from 2081 to 2286. The majority of the new members the institute has been attracting in recent years are not farmers, but people with full-time jobs who prefer to live in the Valley, and while the Institute hopes to serve these customers in all their needs, it still pledges the improving of the feed manufacturing division of the business. "We still hope, for years to come to justify the name of'Farmers' Institute'," says Greer. Nearly all departments report increased sales, but groceries, hardware, meat produce and drygoods increases reflect the building of the modem addition to the store in 1968. The petroleum department had an increase of $40,000 which also reflects the Increase in busi ness resulting from the building of the new service station in 1967. It is hoped in 1969 to build a new feed mill replacing the old structure, part of which was built in 1930. Members and prospective members are invited to die annual meeting on Friday, March 21st at 8:00 p. m. in St. Alban's Church Hall in Aldergrove. must rest with the entire community -- the responsibility,he says, cannot be placed with any one agency -.- the police, the schools, or the home. "First of all," says Mr. Winter, "there has to be knowledge given to parents and teachers. From there, smaller groups should meet -- probably under some community organization.— and conduct small sessions between teenagers and adults." Mr.Winter says for the sessions to be effective, it seems to be important to have a larger number of teenagers than adults. "This," he continues, "eliminates the feeling among young people that they are being preached at" and they become more willing to express themselves openly." Mr. Winter cau tions that it is no good just to tell youngsters that certain drugs are harmful. He points out that this approach has not worked with tobacco nor alcohol and it is highly unlikely that just giving facts, as we've tended to do so far, will do anything to solve the problem. The conference was told that recent studies indicate that original estimates of the number of young people involved with drugs may have been too high. But the educators were warned to recognize that the dmg problem is on the increase and that the rapid growth of dmg use is the problem with which the Dry Spell Each Month Each month this year has had a dry spell; January 20-29 (10 days), February 17-24 (8 days), and March 6-13 (8 days). Seven of die eight days this month were sunny. Precipitation in the 25-day period, Feb.17th to March 13th, totalled 1.18", only 23 per cent of the normal 5.19" for the period. 1.25" fell on the 14th and 15th, but Tofino had 6.79" in 24 hours, a new record for March, and just slightly below their all-time record of 6.86" for 24 hours. We have now had 105 days with frost this season compared to the normal of 93 for the whole Hit and Run Charge An accident involving two vehicles has resulted In a charge of hit-and-run being laid against a juvenile. The incident took place near the Oasis Drive-In in Aldergrove. shortly after noon oh March 16. season. Record frost totals in the past 17 years here are 1964- 65 - 133, 1961-62 - 113, 1955- 56 - 108. Vancouver City's total snowfall this winter, 65.8", is their third highest on record, exceeded only by 70.5" (1915-16) and 81.2" (1916-17). Aldergrove has had 91.6", our second highest. The record is 96.3" in 1964-65 and third highest 77.2" in 1965- 66. Temperatures in the first half of March averaged 38.5°, 1.2° below normal. Precipitation totals 2.30", below the normal 2.97".

Normal means for period Max. 48-490, Min. 32-33°, Precipitation 1.35" community should be concerned. Mr. Winter says the use of marijuana has probably doubled in the lower mainland in die last two years. "Marijuana," he adds, "tends to be the most prevalent dmg used. Maximum use appears to be in grade ten -- after that, quite a sharp drop in dmg usage is noted," The same trend is noticed, he says, with the use of alcohol, and to a certain extent, with the use of tobacco. Mr. Winter sees two possible reasons for this develop ment -- there is a rather large drop-out factor in the grade eleven, twelve and thirteen area and as the youngsters grow older, they may lose their desire to experiment. Discounting the social and medical aspects of dmg use, many of the educators at the conference were convinced that, although marijuana appears to be non-addictive physically, it does tend to create a form of dependency, and because it is illegal, expensive and in most areas relatively hard to obtain -- its use can lead to dellnquen cy -- mostly stealing to obtain money to buy the drug. Another point that came out at the sessions was that police records show that there is more evidence of delinquency between three and six o'clock in the afternoon than between six and midnight. Mr. Winter says this makes the problem of parental control that much more difficult and would lead one to believe that the best time to plan recreation al programs for youngsters would be in the late afternoon rather than at night, Mr. Winter feels there is much more that needs to be done on an educational level to help control the dmg situation. "Parents and teachers need to become more knowledgeable about drugs -- their uses and a- buses -- and that Information should be passed on to the students in a frank and honest manner," states Mr. Winter. He concludes further that one ofthe problems Is that we teach our youngsters to experiment and. test things out themselves and yet when we come to a problem such as drugs, we expect them to accept statements without proof so that in the matter of drugs our method of teaching tends to conflict with what we want to achieve since we do not want students to experiment themselves with drugs.

Mi INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BANK TERM FINANCING FOR CANADIAN BUSINESSES 900 W. Hastings Street, Vancouver 1, B.C. WhatlsThis? The STAR, Wed..March 19,1969 \P WhatAVote by Eric Flowerdew Royal Purple Full House At Baby Clinic Some say someone won and we get Junior Colleges -- just where and how no one knows. What are the costs? No one knows. - Election day was a lovely day, no one had to walk more than two miles and only 12 percent of the voters turned out to do a simple job, namely place a cross in a certain place. The worst turn-out B. C.has ever known. You know many people discuss the actions of our so- called solid growth. We talk about the drop-outs -- yet about 80 per cent of us adults were the real drop-outs at the polling stations. I "have not changed my mind since I voted No. These colleges serve a two- year course for the university entrance. Therefore in-my mind they should be financed on the same level as the universities. If a country like Sweden can have a system of education which is paid by the state, Canada who has more wealth per capita than any other country in the world should go a- head, but we don't. That College vote let the government know you will stand a larger share of municipal taxation. Even the Soviet Union has universal education; they pay some students to go to school. ILoveTo Listen Even the universities are not too smart when it comes to elections. 6,000 students had a chance to vote — the winner got just over 1,000 votes, the loser just over 900. The vote- was held right on tiie campus. IBeleive Australia Has A Point In Australia, when it comes to voting the law says "you must vote," There are certain excep tions such as sickness or religi- onous exceptions. One can note they have a 90 per cent turnout. Of course down below they don't have to vote for such things as schools, they just vote for the party they think will give them the best service. It's Rather Strange A certain cabinet minister was removed from his job last year. We note now he is chaiman of a special committee to deal with Indians and unemployed. In Victoria it seems-like there's more than one kind of Commonwealth in trouble. Now Someone Is Talking It is being suggested Canada gets out of NATO -- one wonders how much this armament job really costs. Now I see that Nixon is going to commit the U. S. A. to six billion dollars in anti-ballistic missile defence systems --.. it will ho doubt put an odd million to work at this self-help enterprise. It makes me think perhaps the old moon might be a safe place to live. Only trouble is it costs toomuch to get there. It Was An Interesting Meeting The ladies who were responsible for the meeting the other night should be proud of their results. The meeting dealt with the "slow learning child," one of the problems many of us know nothing about unless it happens to affect our own family. There was a panel of experts who gave us their views from different angles; from the viewpoints of cost as well as the human angle. The trouble too often seems to be "what can we afford and what can't we afford." This problem pops up again and again especially in our educational system. Education is a strange question. I remember reading Winston Churchill's life history. In his young years at school he was classed well below average. As one who disagreed with him I have to admit that I had to ad mire him as a man. He had the courage to stick up for what he thought. One of the panelists pointed out that because a slow learner has a tough time at school he can end up on die wrong side of the fence. The chap from Haney Correctional Institute, a social worker; pointed out the terrible cost to society in establishing of such institutions. All children, whether they be slow or smart, are human beings: Our society is only interested in those who reach high levels in life. We always cheer the winners and seldom feel sorry for those who strive and lose. You all know we have a "just society"; we don't stop to ponder about those who must end their lives in an "unjust society!' The kids of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Let's see they get a better deal than we did. ■Wonder, IsltTrue At the public meeting in the high school a statement was made that the Langley school board will not allow a tax-payer to see the minutes of a regular meeting. If it is true I would like to compare them with the council. I understand district council sends out several copies of their minutes to interested groups of tax-payers. Our school board has never been known to let out too much about their -.-• our should I say Aldergrove Lodge O. O. R.

Another frequency will besought from the department of transport to avoid what Breier calls "an undesirable situation whereby police have trouble hearing fire calls when the board of .. public works is busy." Breier says a second frequency, plus a lease arrangement for radio sets, would avoid confur sion and would also eliminate the problem of equipment becoming obsolete.

Clothes Care By SHIRLEY SILCOX How to block sweaters and knits Nearly every woman alive has had the experience of hand washing a sweater or knit, then fighting with it to put it back in its original shape. Here are a few suggestions on how to get the best results. 1. Measure th. garment. By that we mean both length and width. The same , . lWith the 1 ------"■ sleeves. And Intake a spec- |dal measure* Intent of the I shoulders. A igood idea {{suggests it* Iself from the lexperience of ,*, -sfUthe cleaning -_WH*Mi_»_| - - fl „ g t - y # Before its washed or cleaned, lay the item on a clean piece of cardboard which will not fade, draw an outline. Cut out the marked area. That is the shape to which the garment should be restored. Use lukewarm water and the mildest of soaps or detergents. Squeeze gently. After rinsing, roll in a towel to remove excess moisture. Place the damp garment on your "pattern" and gently stretch to the desired shape. If you've done a good job of cutting, you may be able to slip the garment over the board. Dry slowly in the shade. 2. Sin your knits. This is one of the most effective ways to help a knit keep its shape. Not all can be safely sized, nor does the sizing last forever. If properly done, not only will your knit be the identical size and shape after washing but it will resist soiling and wear longer. However, let us re-emphasize, don't experiment. Why not instead, let us — the experts — do it for you. That way you'll know it is done right. This Week's Special: Two plain skirts Sanitone Cleaned and pressed, only $1.39.

IDon'tWantTo SeeAnotherWiener by Julie Mout The extraordinary statement was made by Mrs. B. A. Farenholtz last Friday afternoon due to the very successful hot dog sale and the cooking of 600 hot dogs. The 325 pupils of Aldergrove . elementary ate an average of two hot dogs a piece at one for 150, two for 250, three for 350 and four.fpr.500....,,._.,,;.,,.,,,. An amount of $50 was needed for the purchase of wieners, buns relish, mustard and serviettes, creating a net prof it of $20 which was donated to the Junior Red Cross. Electric appliances were generously loaned to division three from various pupils and were used full time in the kitchen where the grade six girls cooked the wieners. Several slight incidents occured during the cooking of the wieners and at one point aU'hope was lost when the power shut off, luckily for only a few long moments! That Friday afternoon- an assemb ly was held wherein the gymnastics class displayed their talent to the Aldergrove elementary audience. Headed by Mrs, White the gymnasts showed the correct method of forward and backward roll, spring board activities, combinations of spring board and vaulting box and mat artivities. The tram- polin was used ma inly by the primary pupils, though a forward and backward roll was displayed by the intermediate students. This took up part of the assembly and in the next half member ship cards were presented to outstanding distance runners who completed the distances of 25 and 50 miles at various times. For instance; one individual might mn one mile before school, one mile at recess, two at lunch hour and one mile after school to make the distance of five miles that particular day. Mr. C. M. Bryenton presented to each runner a member ship card of the 25 or 50-mile l club. Now pupils at the Aldergrove elementary are aiming for 75 and 100 miles; quite some distances. would, however, begiven top priority in 1970, the letter said. The chamber was not satisfied with this, and as Emery Fraser stated, "I live on that road, and every morning and afternoon it is almost impossible for traffic to get through. Often the students walk tiiree, four or five abreast on the road. The road furthermore, due to the laying of the sewerllne. Is full of pot holes which the cars wind in and out between," "It is imperative that that sidewalk be built as quickly as possible, before a serious accident occurs," Fraser concluded. Another letter expressing the chamber's view will be sent to municipal council. Chamber Float ForMayDay The Aldergrove and district chamber of commerce set a committee last week for preparing a float to be entered in the Bradner and Fort Langley May Day parades on May 19th. The committee is comprised of Jack Nachbar, Walt Makela and Bob Mout. Ft.

On Saturday, at Mission fairgrounds the Fraser Valley juvenile association will decide who is to represent the Valley in the provincial tournament. Starting at 10 a. m. Div. 7 sees Langley Legion tackle either Abbotsford Legion or Mission Meekers. In Div. 6 at 11:00 it's Aldergrove Legion taking on die Mission Rennies. Div. 5 has Langley Sports Club against Chilliwack at 11:30 and in Div. 4 Northwest Langley United clashes with undefeated Abbotsford Legion at 2:45 p. m. My predictions are; Div. 7 an overtime game with Langley Legion winning; Div. 6 Wolf Zillich's Aldergrove club by four goals; Div. 5 Langley Sports Club piloted by Joe Romegioli should win by at least two goals; Div. 4 - Abbotsford vs. NWLU - I refuse to predict. On Saturday Abby locked horns with a combined Langley Kin • Rotary aggregation and was held to a 4-4 verdict after a desperate struggle. Al Chell, Don htjgan and Alf Deglan scored for Langley. For Abby, Brad Ross was the star. His goal was a blinder and his corners are picture-look efforts. On Sunday NWLU sawed off 2-2 with Bourne, Construction of Delta. Langleyfs goals came from Robin Neiison. When questioned on his chances in the game at Mission, coach Bill Swim's chuclding continent was, "Watch for some surprises. We're not going there just for experience, you know." In Div. 5 exhibition play Joe Rbmegioli's Langley Sportsmen smothered Whalley Legion 7-0 with an avalanche of goals from Shane LaFleur, Dan Preston, Ben Getske, Vic DeGianni and Gerald Moews. Langley soccer buffs are proud and justly so, to have a representative in every division of tills play-down and it is hoped that the boys will not lack for the vocal support of fans. Langley Prestons, 'of Div. 3, . Langley's best bet to reach the B. C. finals tumbled the league leaders of Richmond-Delta- ScotTown Drags by a 4-1 mar-\ gin Sunday at city park. Goals were by Wayne Ferguson 1, Barry Bumell 1, Mike Crawford.l, and Ed Chieduck 1. Prestons are a star-studded line up featuring the best players from Langley city, Aldergrove and Fort areas, and sport a 19- game win streak which includes a 3-1 victory over the current B.C.champs, Cliff Avenue United. They have scored 13 shutouts, and tallied 129 goals SPORTS Dennis Ross Sports Editor Aldergrove Teams Bring Victory Home with only 17 against. The boys' play-off with Mission city on Saturday the 22nd at Queens Park for the right to represent the New Westminster league in further play. Kick-off time has not been announced at this time but further information can be gathered by calling coach Pat Mulhem (534-3687) or manager John Timmerman (534-6454). In Fraser Valley senior league play Langley Borsatos advanced to the second round of the Bradner Cup, eliminating Haney Rovers 5-1 on Sunday in a mud bath at Douglas Park. Their next round has them against Bradner. Exchange Play InTacoma This was the weekend that local division 7 and 8 clubs repaid last week's visit by the boys from south of the 49th parallel. And again they won most of the glory. Aldergrove Navy, still smarting from last week's setback at the hands of Lakeland Cubs, proved that soccer is not played by the pound and revers ed the score against the much heavier opponents to win 1-0. "Aldergrove Rams 3-2 win over ' Lakeland Panthers," said league coordinator Ken Robinson,"was a beauty. Lots of wild and wool y action with frantic breakaways and garrison saves in the goal mourn." "The Aldergrove coach, Glen Clarke," said Robinson," has a really good one up front — a kid named Jensen. He's a kid to watch..." Fort again fought through with, a 1-0 squeaker over Federal Way, and Milner, after a slow start and a scoreless first half made Joe Fifer's second half tally stand up to win 1-0. Frits Jacob- sen's Peterson Road club, sparked by Franco Romegioli's two first half markers ended up winners 2-0 against Olympic View Tigers. Simonds Road clipped Kent Giants 2-0 and coach Wayne Rattenburg felt that everyone played excellently. Langley's only setback was suffered by Belmont. Adelaide Sharks turned the trick 2-1. Coach Wayne Compton took the loss coolly. "The field was smaller than we're used to," he said, "and we were not able to adjust quickly enough." "But it's all part of learning the game," he said. The only Div. 7 score In Langley had IOOF as 7-0 winners over Harold's Texaco Chiefs. Aldergrove Navy fought Lakeland Cubs in Tacoma last Satur day. This turned in to one of the finest games of the season with the Aldergrove team edging the CUbs 1-0. It was a rough game, but the Aldergrove boys fought hard and It paid off with the one goal by pat Cassidy. set up by Alex Kirk. Coach Dennis Craigie was very pleased with the entire team play. A thank you Is extended to Don Chortle, John Morse, Tom Rutledge and Ed Belfontaine for providing the transportation to Tacoma, and to the parents who came down to cheer the boys to victory, i The Aldergrove Rams played North Lake Panthers at Tacoma and brought back a 3-2 victory. Ronnie Janzen, the star for Aldergrove, scored all of the three goals. A fine defensive work was shown by Randy Twiss and Ronnie West wood, and Craig Blades played an outstanding game in goal. It was altogether an excellent team exhibition, says the coach, considering the fact that the Aldergrove boys played against older and heavier boys. Langley's Olympic Hope Mark Splashes His Way To Victory Mark Knechtel, Langley's hope for the '72 Olympics, kept his winning ways this weekend at the 6th annual International Sw im Meet sponsored by the Dolphins Swim dub at Percy Norman Pool in Vancouver. Against more than 350 rivals from California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alber ta and Manitoba, Mark splashed his way to victory in two class events, placed third in one age class event and third in an adult event. Mark's two firsts were the 100 metre backstroke (109.2), 100 metre butterfly (105.7) both In the 13-14 age class, as was his third in the 100 metre freestyle. Knechtel's struggle in the 200 metre backstroke adult class turned into a David-Goliath affair with Mark in the preliminary heat lined up next to Olympic silver medallist Ralph Hutton, Hutton won the heat, but the Langley lad made a strong enough bid tolet a new Canadian record for 13-14 year olds (2:25.6). Both qualified for the final heat, Hutton winning and Knechtel placing third. "Not bad, for a kid from Langley, " commented his mother quietly. "So Goliath can have it, this time," said Mark. Next stop for the new record holder will be Eugene, Oregon, March 29th -- then on Good Friday he moves on to Edmonton. 52nd Annual General Meeting Fraser Valley Milk Producers' Association • Review of year's business, and discussion of future plans. • Reports from provincial, national agricultural and dairy associations. • Recognition of youth achievements during the year. • Displays on various aspects of the Association. • Free lunches provided each noon for members and their families.

To Magistrate William Evans, Court House, Nelson, B. C. Canada. Respectable Mr. Evans; I wish to convey to you the following news from Uruguay which also involves you. On Jan. 18th an automobile from Argentine with four people in it drove into my yard on the farm. As the passengers climbed out, two ladles and two men, I was called by someone of the family who said, "A car came from Argentine." I rushed out, clad only In ordinary work clothes. One of die ladies who was about 50 years old, introduced herself. She said she was a visitor from Canada, carrying greetings to me from Mr, Evans. The other lady who was younger she introduced as her friend from Argentine, whom she had asked to drive her over to Montevideo. The older lady walks with a limp, similar to the way Mrs. Emmett Gulley walked. One of the men who was with the party they had asked to direct them to our home. He said he was from Montevideo, and the fourth person was a youth of about 20 years of age. When they told me they came from Mr. Evans I invited them right into the house. The youth remained outside though, with two other lads who came fishing just beforethe visitors arrived. After serving refreshments to our visitors the lady started talk ing about you, Mr. Evans —as to how good a person you were. I confirmed this, adding: "Had there been more like him in Canada there would neither have been aJtew Denver nor ^ Agassiz, together with those colossal expenditures and losses. The lady appeared like she knew many Doukhobors in British Columbia. She also said that 'she'd been present at the reception rendered to Prime Minister Trudeau at Castlegar at the time of his tour of the Western provinces of Canada some time last year, and, she said, "the Doukhobor choir sang in French at the reception. The members of Canadian Legion were also there and put on a performance but this did not Interest Trudeau to any amount." Here the conversation centered for a while around the French language, but she had also clear ly praised the Doukhobors. It seemed like she was waiting for my approval, however. I withheld comment. I only stated that I was endeavouring tomake the children attend school again, and that the Freedomites agreed. Also that they wanted French schools as they considered that the curse rests upon them if their children attend English schools, I told her that it was all the same to me as long as the children would be studying. The lady asked me whether I believed in the curse. I said that I did not, and no reason why I should as ttiy own children are attending English school here in Uruguay. Also, though French is a noted language it doesn't seem to be very popular. Of course, it is possible to think that it is their stupidity, that is true, but there are people who consider that all religious are stupidity and delusions of mind, but what are we going to do about it? Once they are there we.must not act according to the ways uf Stalin. The lady asked me how come 1 didn't go tiithe DouWiobpfs. . t. I answered that I already forten months had been trying to obtain a visa but had received no answer and when the answer finally came the visa had been denied. The lady didn't want to believe this. I told her, "If you are a Canadian we will go together to the Canadian embassy and you will be convinced." This letter to the editor is a copy of a letter sent by Stefan S. Sorokin, the spiritual leader of the Sons of Freedom Doukhobors to Nelson Magistrate William Evans. She then asked when we were there the last time (at the embassy). We told her that we had been there just prior to the Christmas holidays and were told to come back after the holi days. But since that time we have not been there for two weeks. The lady said," Let's go, and we'll see that you get your visa." Later we found out that she had already been at the embassy before she came to see us. The lady's name is Diana Wright We agreed that on the 20th of January we would meet at the Canadian embassy. And on Monday the 20th we went to Montevideo, and on the same day received a letter from Mr. Pringle, MP in Ottawa, in which he suggested that we approach • the embassy once more to apply for a visa. As soon as we entered the admit ting office at the embassy we were immediately handed appli cation forms to fill out. Mrs. Wright came a bit later. We told the attendant that we would fill out the forms at home as this would be more convenient to us, and that we didn't know at die present time which airway we would take. We had to plan this according to the visa which we are expecting from the USSR embassy. The lady arrived and As soon as she learned that we had received a letter from Mr. Pringle a wave of disfavorable expression went across her face. Then she said," Well, I guess there's nothing more for me to do here, You will receive your visa and I need not see Mr. Pringle in Ottawa as I had promised you." And she departed as she had to leave by plane that same day. I also understood that the addi- : tional questionnaire (annex form) marking the exact dates of my leave and my arrival in Canada was all she was interested in learning, if I am not mistaken. The following day we came back to the embassy with the completed application form, but die additional questions on the annex form we could not answer at the time. We explain, ed this to the attendant, a young lady, who told us that they would phone us when we were needed. And I told her, "Unless I get a special call from our society that I must come — then I will go. but right now I have no Intentions and the society is not demand-, ing it. As for myself 1 cannot afford to undergo the expense just to go to Canada alone, but I can save myself much by going there enroute to Europe, using the same fare ticket which would only cost a few extra dollars." When we asked the Wright lady at the embassy she explained. . to us that she was the wife of a writer who wrote a book a- bout the Doukhobors entitled "Slava Bohu." Then after she had left we thought that she might be similar to Simma Holt, Simma likewise presented herself here bringing us greetings from the Doukhobors. But Simma has not seen the interior of our house, only our yard. This is why I am asking for your explanation, Who is this lady, had she seen you at all, and is It true that you had sent your greetings with her? There in the office of the embassy was a little booklet lying on the table which carried a picture of Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada on its cover. Diana Wright praised him very much. I approved this praise and told her that the Doukhobors expected much good from Canada's new prime minister. We asked her whether he was French, She answered that he was half French and half English but mostly the latter. "The F ench language," she said, "is a retarded language." Sie. moreover told me that he (Trudeau) spoke both languages well, it seemed to me that she wanted to tell me that he was neither French nor English but rather Slav. As the name Tru- ; deau (Trudov) is a Slavic name; only she did not say this, but caused us to think so. As the saying goes, "A certain Jew was asked what religion he carried? And he replied, -- Which one do you want?" . I request from you Mr. Evans in a friendly way to inform me more of the background of this Wright woman and her husband and their profession. Is it true that you conveyed greetings through her, that she has seen you? She told us that she was going to Ottawa to see Mr. Pringle, but when I told her I had received a letter from him she said that now it wouldn't be necessary for her to see him. She also defended Simma Holt; saying that Simma is only a reporter. "She was not to be'blam ed for what she wrote, rather Robert Bonner." But of course Bonner has left his position since and everything has changed. Later we also found put that die' youth who stayed outside was a reporter working for a publishing firm in Montevideo. He had told the two lads who came to * fish that the lady felt shy in taking pictures and refrained from doing so. It was not, however what she had expected to see according to Simma's reports after her visit here. It is much too humble by comparison to Canadian luxury. As it happened my wife was can ning seasonal fruit that day and showed that she had no maids to help her, and I myself Was busy with the bees. The lady asked me who was looking after them for me. I told her that I was alone, that the others on the farm were afraid of being stung, but I take it as medication-and am caring for 100 hives. If you will answer me. Mr. Evans, I might be able to write more fully of all that I may perceive from such visits. Be well for the time being. Wishing you success in Doukhobor affairs... . ""_.'" Again, if it would be possible for me to come to Canada, we will have much to speak about. For the time being I have sent you a copy of abetter I wrote to Mr. jerry Pringle, MP, Ottawa and also an explanation to it. And I ask you as a friend to advise me on my Inquiry.
