w Chief Joe Gabriel and his wife Maureen,, outside their heme onlMcMillan Island Want Reserves Incorporated As Municipalities Heredittry Chief Joe Gabriel of the McMillan Island band attend ed the first Annual Conference of Indian Chiefs held at Kamloops earlier this month. The main purpose of the gathering, be reported, was to sound out feelings of solidarity among this province's native people -- and in light of the fact that one hundred sixty-one of a possible one hundred eighty-eight lexers attended, it appears that a strong group identity exists, Gabriel said that the maintopic on debate was the government's current "White Paper"; which he described as "the most recent attempt to deprive us of our aboriginal rights." He went on to point out that for centuries Indian people have been accepting at face value treaties and agreements that were not honored, witness that the reserves are the last pitiful remains of a rather sizable chunk of real estate once owned by them - - and that the last instalment, namely the Province of British Columbia, was taken summarily without benefit of a treaty of any kind. Small wonder the Indians suffer a feeling of intense mistrust for all government suggestions. Both Gabriel and Cecil M.Reid. former Langley ite and now "band manager of Bella Bella, put forward the suggestion that three who wish to see the •reserves incorporated as municipalities ex- .•rt their rights under section HI of the Indian Act. This would allow them to renounce Indian status and accept the franchise. "The reserves must be kept." Gabriel said. "They are a place of socj-1 and economic acceptance in a world of rejection. They give die Indian who does not want to enter the white man's rat race a place to go." Gabriel was of the opinion diat die meet important outcomes were two; firstly a precedent was set whereby Indians have had proposed legislation interpreted by legal counsel, and -: secondly, a framework was es-" tablished to assure continued group actum. The main gathering will be annual a< planned. Further, the twelve member executive chiefs council (elected annually) will meet four tinii's pier year. The chief's executive commit tee (appointed by the council;) will'inusteroiKe a month, "It was a teal siuves.:." Gabriel said."

He came to Aldergrove from Surrey two years ago, where he had been active in community work and was a runner-up in municipal election a few years ago. No Extension Of Leaves Langley school trustees adopted last week a policy of not accept ing any extension of leaves at Christmas and Easter for instructional staff. The board found it advisable not to accept extended leaves as the instruction of the students would suffer too much when the regular teacher was not present immediately after mid-year school holidays. The only form for leave the board accepts at such times will be sick- and sympathy leaves.

Facilities Each weekend, literally millions of faithfuls throughout the world live tiie game of soccer. Some thousands of these people live in British Columbia. Hundreds of these disciples live, in Langley municipality. Some are involved in coaching or team management. Others just like to watch. Those who can. play. What is it about this contest involving the round ball that allows it to surpass all other games in popularity? Consider the sport --a demand ing master, played through all weathers, in cold and rain, on frozen pitches or in tlie sweating hell of spring and fall. Certainly rigorous climatic conditions make if attractive to the young male asserting his manhood--merely a sidelight. Soccer tempers tlie metal of man as the forge hardens steel; pregame tensions, stomach cramps, sleepless nights -- bruises, fatigue, fray -- wild ecstacy, victory, calm satisfaction -- bitter aloes of defeat, humiliation -- the vigorous self discipline of shaking the winner's hand All this played out in what is more an art-form than a sport, featuring ballet-like ball-control artists, awesome power of hardhit goal-shots and die symmetric smoothness of fast-moving ball teams, forming and reforming in endless patterns rela tive to the ball and to each other. So What? .Eleven years ago we had a miser able community with as sickening a delinquency record as any in the nation. This has changed. True, some <rf our kids still get into trouble -- but soccer players with criminal records are very rare indeed. The game teaches honesty. Some years ago a team from Mission City forgot a gallon thermos in die strip-shack at Douglas Park. They came back and retrieved it - - six mcoths later - - still there. The game teaches self-control -- and duty. Through injury or illness one does not always feel like playing -- but a player knows when he is needed. And on the field one must conform. (Pele the top player in the world was recently sent off for misconduct.) The referee is in absolute control. The game teaches equality — for on the sidelines rich and poor, young and old. original and new Canadian are all one. Each can have his say ■-- and does. So... -■> So let's do something. Let's provide facilities. If we have dozens of adults involved with our young at no charge, gratis, in an endeavour which makes tiieir lives and ours more worthwhile -- and in a fonn of training which shapes men from boys, hence makes a better community of Langley * - well then, let's spend money. Douglas Park's surface is being beaten to death. Langley City Park's turf will soon be kicked to pieces. Alder grove lias never owned adequate playing surface. Fort Community Park heeds grading. Let us invest tlie money that'll -otherwise be spent on'ja Ms and court costs. More paries are needed, 7. ; ."- ;' Voters, your community leaders await your command. Year End Clearance ™___?

Dean Appointed The council of Douglas Regional College announced last week that Dr. Donald A. Porter has been appointed Dean of Curriculum for the. new college. Dr. Porter, who is presently resid ing in Edmonton. Alberta, brings to the post a varied and extensive background in the field of education. He has studied in the fields of physics (bachelor of arts), fjhysiology (master of science), and educational admi nirtration (Ph.D.). He presently holds teaching certificates in . B.C.. Alberta. Saskatchewan, . Manitoba and Ontario and has taught at both the university and high school levels. His administrative experience includes that of both principal and assistant superintendent of personnel for the Edmonton public schools. Dr. Porter has served both as assistant adjutant and adjutant for ' the Canadian Anny in Edmonton. He is married and has one son. He expects to move his family to the coast as soon as possible after commencing his duties with Douglas College in January, Tlie meeting was well attended by interested parents, tenders had recently been open ed on tiiree elementary school additions. They are a twoclass- room addition to Fort Langley elementaiy, an activity room for West Langley. and an administration room and one classroom for Murrayville. The tendered prices, it was reported were very good, but it was now a question of Victoria's approval. Later In the week it was announced that the activity room and the administration rooms would not be approved. No word was received yet as to whether or not it would be 'go' for the Fort Langley addition. The new policy of the department of education is that an acute need has to be shown before the department will approve any new classroom additions. Other classroom addition plans sentrto Victoria for approval earlier in the year are also await ing answer. They are all single classroom additions for South Carvofth, Coghlan, Peterson and Wix-Brown. Late Flash The Hon. W. A. C. Bennett, chairman ofthe treasury board, announced yesterday that approval had been given by the board to the department of education to award a contract for the proposed new addition to the Fort Langley elementary school. The amount of the contract will be $28,558.00. The lovable character shown below, p. ROVER,B. S.(c) is a new cartoon figure drawn up by a local cartoonist.

The response was tremendous both at the hall and to the ticket sales. The 'Snoopy' dog was won by Colleen DeWinter, Mt. Lehman Road, and the center piece by W. Faulks, of Aldergrove. These were the prizes for the raffle sponsored by CFS Aldergrove. The door prize, a teddy bear cake donated by Mrs. Vi Edgar, was won by a brownie, Sharon Tucker of Jackman Road. We wish to thank everyone who donated to our bazaar and all who helped at the hall. Also all who turned out. A special thank-yoit goes to our sponsors, the Aldergrove Legion and the Aldergrove Navy Base. Of course the biggest thank you is to all the people of Aldergrove without whom the sale wouldn't have been such a tremendous success. The Aldergrove brownie and guide group committee on behalf of the girls thank you one and all.

Fort scored once in each half to maintain their second placement with a 2 - 0 win over Murrayville and powerful Central-Milner hammei ed Aldergrove Jets for a full half dozen un-answered goals. Central-Milner leads the league with 14 points. Tied for.second are Fort and Aldergrove Cards with 10 each. Simonds, Aldergrove Jets. Murrayville Jets, and Murrayville , Gold-diggers are tied witheight each for third spot. In 8th division Saturday, Fort 0, Aldergrove Rams 1, and Peterson tied Milner 1 - 1. Grove Peterson Deadlocked Aldergrove and Peterson are now deadlocked in first place with 10 points each while theother three clubs are tied for second with five each. In division 7 Aldergrove Navy eked out a 2 - 1 win over Langley Hawks. Ron Jantzen and Edwin Hoffman were responsible for the winners. Abbotsford dumped Langley Jacks 2 - 1 and front-running Legion hammered Nicomen Island for a hatful of goals. In division 6 league-leading Abbotsford thumped Langley Sports Club 4 - 0 at Douglas Park in what turned into a rather uninspired show. Likewise Maple Ridge hammered Langley in another colorless contest. Show of the week was lOOF's barn-burner with Maple Ridge All-Stars. IOOF finally emerged 3 - 2 winners. In division 5 Aldergrove Rihans 5 - 0 loss to Haney All-Stars was a four-goal improvement on tiie nine-nil result last time . die two clubs met. Some Measure Of Revenge League-leading Aldergrove Legion achieved some measure of revenge for their earlier l-l tie with"" Langley Georgians. Goals by Dean Miller (I), Bill Tucker (2) and Brian Hart (I) led the Aldergrove club to a one-sided 4-0 victory. Outstanding in the 'Grove back- field were Reid Johnson. Mark Breier, Brian Makela and goalie Barry Makela. Division 4 had Langley Sports Club 2-1 winners over Langley Kin in what spectator C. Goertzen described as "a really excellent contest." Vittorio de Gianni scored both tallies for the winners and Harry Steensma counted for tiie Kin. The deciding factor in the game was an inability by Kin to hit the cords. At die same time, Saturday morning, at City Park, Ungley Rotary reversed a previous loss to Tsawwassen of the Delta league by handing out a 3 - 1 spanking. And in league play, NWLU on tlie strength of Ole' Jacobsen's single, won 1-0 over Maple Ridge. Senior Ball ________________ / Borsatos Tackle Royal City Bradner of the Fraser Valley senior league, reinforced by recruits from Langley Borsato travelled to Callister Park. Vancouver to tackle New Westminster Blues of the Coast League in what should have been the pre-Christmas spectacular. Event Scrubbed The whole thing was scrubbed after ten minutes -- peasoup fog. A replay will be scheduled. In Sunday ball IOOF, lacking the polish shown in previous games lost to Whalley in an exhibition contest and on the same field division 2 Prestons dealt out a ,5 - 1 trouncing to Mission City. Gladiators In Action Langley Boxing Club in a Li- fight card at Hastings Community Centre won one for three Saturday night and still came home happy. Ron and Clarence Hoolsema split bouts. Ron, at 60 lbs. tackled Michael O'Reilly of the Hastings club, threetimes B. C. champ, in a bout that carried both good boxing and surprisingly heavy hitting for so small a couple. O'Reilly gained the judge's nod. Clarence (Bobo) made his first outing of the year a memorable one by handing Danny MacDonald of the host club a crisp boxing lesson. MacDonald was not able to win a round. Tough Opponent Canadian national 106 lb. champ Neil Austin tackled the toughest opponent of his career, Frankie Scott, twice-national US lb. champ and coach of the New Westminster club. Scott started strong, stinging Neil with two wicked left hooks to the head in the first and appeared to be on the way to a TKO victory. The rangy Langley lad had other ideas and by the end of the session, had his own rally going, The second was close with the foxing NewsFlash Ever-active Walt Austin, manager of the Langley Boxing Club announces a choice bauble, for pugilistic buffs in the area.

Judges Divided The judges were divided in opinion but Scott was die winner. Neil's brother Derek who had had to hand the match over to Neil because of a bout of flu had this to say: "Neil's got nothing to be ashamed of. Look, Scott's twenty-two years old and has had better th._i two hundred fights. He's won God knows how many Golden Gloves titles, two national championships, tiie Pan-American bronze medal - - and here's Neil at sixteen years of age nearly beating him."

OTHER EVENTS We got report cards last Friday and people are either happy or sad, depending on tiieir marks. The interior of the school was painted recently. The color is a queer pale yellow and judging from comments made by the students, if they thought it'd help change the color, they'd almost be ready to re-paint the school themselves. The premier and his cabinet came to help us celebrate Douglas Day. This wais done with a program of music, which consisted of a teacher's choir, a teacher's band and a giant choir composed of ungley and Aldergrove students, as well as your own Fort Laihgley pupils. An activity period was tried ait a few weeks ago. In this, a student must choose between a wide variety of teacher-supervised activities. This came off well and we hope to have one every two weeks, or if possible, one period weekly. BUY & SELL Antiques Coins • Medals - Curios - Beer Steins. 25-46S Fraser Hwy Aldergrove. • 856-2131 t.f.
