Fall Fair Looks Good The annual Aldergrove Fall Fair, to be held this year on Saturday is coming along fine reports chairman Charles Haid. The fair will this year see an extended hobby section, with a good number of entries already received by the fairboard com- mlttee,and again this year there will be a children's parade and pet show with many prizes. The showings start at 2 p.m. Saturday, but all entries and exhibits must be in by 10 p.m. Friday. No Improvement in Job Scene There was no improvement in the local employment scene during August reports Art Neill, manager of Canada Manpower Centre, Abbotsford. Demand for workers In practically all occupations was very low for this time of year. Situation was further aggravated by continuing influx of job-seekers resulting from lay-offs and cut-backs in other areas of B.C. and other provinces. In agricultural activities the demand for workers increased as usual for August although there were a fair number of opportunities for well-experienced dairy farm hands. There was some demand for construction tradesmen butthis was less than during July. Opportunities for laborers was practically nil resulting in a substantial surplus of workers In this category. General business slow-down also affected the demand for help In the service sector. Very few openings for sales clerks, waitresses, cooks, etc., were reported. There were some opportunities for clerical job seekers but employers were selective and would accept only well qualified and experienced applicants. . r* a ■-» w _ O • </> C- It w 0 0 3 0. 0 »_ - O tt o^ G R> - Ik s _. a —_ -< i —i » o 0. 00 * ot —i o 1 _-; 2 w o - -J- _, o a > — < 3 c i- 3 to rx o i __ H) _» _ - ►_ o w w <o M A, \o _u -» m\ o #' Ready for the showing at the Pacific National Exhibition 4-H Club Competitions are Gary Chard, 12, of 25361 Fraser Highway, Aldergrove, and his jersey calf, "Verna".

Mad Monk On Holiday Faire Not Evil Last weekend's Pleasure Faire was an event that went a long way towards bridging some of the larger rifts in our social structure. Contrary to fears expressed by some residents there was no violence, damage, rock throwing, window smashing, no animals were molested, or fences torn down. In fact the Faire was the antithesis of these fears. Participants came from all age and social groupings. Variety and color were the themes. In one area Hare Krishna monks with long flowing robes and shaved heads chanted mantras to businessmen in suits, little old ladles Inmaxls, hippies in jeans, secretaries In dresses and kids In everything. New Park Hours Fort Langley national historic park, has new hours. It will be open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. After September 30th, the par'.; will operate every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. College Opens New opening for Douglas College is September 24th, when prospective students will gather not in the new campuses, but at Queen's Park Arena. School on a dally basis will not commence until October 5th. The delay is chiefly due to the lack of accommodations on site. There Is every reason to believe however that these will be ready by the later date. In front of a large and fascinating stage a large audience listened very quietly to everything from stomping string bands to woodwind quartets. Elsewhere drums boomed out basic tribal rhythms which faded into soft Gregorian Hymns as you walked on. Despite the damp and rainy weather that only let up on the last day there were smiles everywhere. People were enjoying themselves and each other. The results of a quiet and peaceful event were heartening. There was no pushing, shoving or crowding and if two people did bump one another it was noted with grace and a laugh rather than with hostitlity or embarassment. Probably the most noticeable difference between the Faire and other large gatherings was the concern shown towards the ecology. There was no titter on the grounds which is rather amazing given the number of people who were there. But maybe this Is a result of the fact that In place of the usual junk foods (candy bars, soft drinks, etc. etc.) the Faire offered visitors more nutritious and less packaged foods such as corn on the cob, smoked salmon, yogurt, and organic fruit juices. Even so there was a certain air about the place that said put that wrapper In a garbage can. Further missing from the proceeding, was the screaming commercialism of our times. Signs were small and attractive and you could actually talk to the merchants without feeling guilty about not buying. by Jamie Miller The only sad thing about the Faire was that the promoters will probably be in debt as a result of it. The bad weather of Saturday and Sunday depressed attendance -to such a point that even Monday's large crowd only brought in enough money to pay for half the expenses. It is to be hoped that next year there will be someone willing to take a chance on such an event Tills year's Faire has provedbeyond a doubt that such events are desirable and Indeed an asset. Hopefully area residents will realize that such a Faire held on a yearly basis could become a large tourist attraction worthy of support and community involvement The Medieval Pleasure Faire took place a few miles out of Fort Langley this weekend at Medd and Livingstone. We were there both Sunday and Monday, wandering around and talking to the booth owners. Sunday was pretty miserable and wet although there was a crowd of 2,500 during the day. Monday, however, with its alternate clouds and sunshine was beautiful and festival spirits picked up accordingly. When we arrived, the Inedible String QuartetwasplayingFour Cent Cotton on the huge fantastic stage which has a wooden tower tacked crazily to one side reaching 100 feet night and made of boards and stained glass windows and old wooden balustrades. It was. completely non-functional and a beautiful fascinating sight to behold. The audience was quite, ent- usiastic, polite and happy. The Inedible String Quartet was followed by a group which played renaissance dance tunes onper- lod woodwinds. In the background we could hear shouts of "Ginger beer, Root beer, and Belts for the Unbelted, only $4.00!" As we wandered further we came upon stands selling hand crafted dulcimers, organic vegetables, clay pots, bead and leatherwork, home made candles, hand beaten silver, almost everything you could think of. We talked to one lady who has her own farm in the area and raises sheep. From the sheep she get the raw wool with which she weaves belts on something called an Inctha belt loom, which she also made herself. There were batik scarves in the same booth, and she has other similar scarves on display at the Vancouver Art Gallery. The potters were out in force with some beautiful work. Jugs, tea pots, bowls etc. One young man named Mark even had 2 pottery drums for sale. I learned a little about working with clay by talking to Mark. The pots must be fired twice in a special gas or electric oven. The temperature for the second firing is around 2,400 degrees, this is to apply the glaze properly. It take seventeen hours for the goods in the kiln to reach a proper temperature, and two days for the kiln to cool down enough for the pottery to be removed. We moved on down the street of colourful booths and soon came to that of Charles and Kathleen Partington, a couple whose home is in Langley, and who also make pottery. Here we learned more about the potters wheel, the Instrument by which a skilful craftsman can have a bowl or jug ready for the kiln In minutes. He throws the clay onto a revolving wheel and shapes it with hands and fingers as It turns. We bought a beautiful little cream pitcher whose glaze shows the results of a reduction process. Reduction means the removal of oxygen from the oven during firing. The clay is thus oxygen starved and the iron oxide in the clay Is deprived of its oxygen component and the Iron comes to the surface causing a dappled effect in the glaze. Properly used, it can be very effective. During the whole of the fair, i was continually impressed by the happiness of the people, and in particular the cleanliness and complete lack of litter. There were two dozen out door toilets marked "knaves" and "lasses" painted a pretty blue and hung with alder boughs. This is an area in which rock festivals could certainly take ales- son. The Children's Dell situtated under a large old cedar was popular with the young ones, as were the docile ponies who patiently walked one child after another around the fair. The children's puppet shows also were a resounding success. Just as we were leaving atowncrier in full regalia, including bell was walking the grounds, announcing a performance of a miracle play in the Dell. The STAR, Wednesday, September 9, 1970 Harold Gregory To Teach Public Speaking A specially arranged demonstration in successful public speaking techniques has been Harold Gregory arranged by the Adult Education Department of the Langley School Board for next Monday evening, September 14th, at the Langley Central activity room. This demonstration, which is free and open to any or all persons interested in public speaking, will be conducted by Harold Gregory * popular instructor of public speaking classes for the Langley school board adult program for the last two semesters. Gregory, for a number of years, has instructed programs in public speaking and sales training for his employers, a large Canadian electronics firm. Interested persons attending his demonstration will have an opportunity to experience a few of his techniques by which he emphasizes the development of self motivation and self-con-" fidence as the key to effective self-expression. Time for this public speaking demonstration session will >be 8:00 p.m. Letters to the Editor LANGLEY SCHOOL BOARD New Colored NIGHT SCHOOL Brochure will be delivered to your mailbox on or about THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 WATCH FOR 90 NEW CLASSES Starting over the next few weeks + Adult High School com- * F'«e Arts, Music, Drama, pletion (or college prep). etc. * Adult Basic Education. * Business Management. * Vocational Training, com- * Home Arts' mercial electronics, etc. * Shop courses, plumbing, .... _ engines, house finishing, Jr College Courses. et,c See also Page 14 for IMPORTANT NOTICE from Canada Manpower Centre The Law is an Ass Editor, The Star, Dear Sir, As the "Just Society" continues to unroll we have been shown how this ideal is to affect our lives: Abortion still impossible for the average woman, homosexuality now legal, murder no real deterrent, taxes going up, inflation combattedby unemployment, lock-outs and strikes, welfare refused to those who need it and who have been paying the tab for years. Now I come to the most confusing part, I am told that justice is for all. Justice is blind, etc., etc. One of our local judges may have set an unheralded precedent sitting on an eviction case (the third from the same mobile home park), he referred to the two previous cases tried in higher court that had been ruled as under Bill 20, and stated that he, by rights, could not overrule a higher court judgment — and then proceeded to do so.

The calf, Dainty, owned by Robert Friesen is Reserve Champion Ayrshire. Leather jackets Can Be Controlled Leatherjackets have become a serious insect pest of the Fraser Valley in recent years. The adults are crane flies and look like mosquitoes, butare several times larger. The young of the crane flyaretheleatherjackets, grublike dark grey maggots which get up to l1/. inches long. The adults are present during August and September. Each individual lives only a few days. New adult crane flies emerge from the ground every night during August and September. Mating take place soon after emergence andeachfemalelays most of her 200-300 eggs before dawn. This continues during August to September whenever adults emerge. The eggs hatch into tiny one- eighth inch long leatherjackets two weeks after they are laid. These feed on vegetation and grow. They feed until next summer when they become dormant for a few weeks, then change into an intermediate stage, the pupa. Two weeks later, some time in August or September, they emerge as adults to repeat the cycle. Crane flies are harmless to man, animals and vegetation, but the pupa or leatherjackets are destructive to grasslands, many farm and garden crops, and some ornamentals. They eat roots and parts of plants above the ground. Presently most cranefliesare Chard Cow Tops The top record in the Jersey yearling class for August was made by Roamy Royalist Hazel, a daughter of Lindell Generation Triumph, owned by John Chard, Aldergrove, B.C.

They do no damage and they are only a nuisance. They are mating and laying eggs which will result in another generation of leather jackets. It is impractical to attempt any action against the adults. By the time you see them in the morning they have already laid most of their eggs. They will die a natural death within a few days anyway. New crane flies emerge every night, they can fly for some distance so that control by sprays on individual properties is useless. However, there is something that can be done now. Keep the grass cut short and watered only enough to keep it from dying. This, unless, it rains, will cause many laid crane fly eggs to dry up and die. The fact that many thousands of crane flies were present in early fall does not necessarily mean that there will be serious damage done by leatherjackets in spring. Natural mortality, disease, predation by birds and useful insects, and adverse weather all take their toll and reduce leatherjacket populations. To prevent their spread to other parts of B.C. discourage movement of infested soil or plants in infested soil out of the Fraser Valley. THE SOLO CLUB Chilliwack, B.C.

(EAST OF THE POST OFFICE) Attended from 8 a.m. - 11 p.m. Daily OOPS.... Cpu)^ From Parliament Hill CFB Important To Area by Jerry Pringle, M.P. The usual summer recess rumors regarding cabinet shuffling have been circulating a- round the Hill. The usually originate at the press gallery coffee table and come in handy when news is in short supply. The Prime Minister puts the whole exercise in proper perspective when he states than out of a thousand speculations, one or two are bound to happen. It now appears that the Honourable Leo Cadieux will go to France as Ambassador so there could be some validity in the report that Honourable Donald Macdonald, President of the Privy Council will replace him as Minister of National Defence. I will be sorry to see Leo Cadieux leave the House of Commons. But have always found Donald Macdonald to be very co-operative and interested in assisting back-benchers whenever possible. This is especially important to me as the Fraser Valley East constituency is very fortunate in having Canadian Forces Base, Chilliwack, located within its boundaries. What we affection- ally refer to as the Army Camp is undoubtedly destined to play What Is Provocation? by Alberta Selin Mr. Wright wants a law against any speech or written material which is "basis for violence." That could be a rock group that sings or says something that seems dangerous. It could be a man who says something antigovernment in front of a crowd. Indeed it could be used against a progovernment speech which was read in front of a rebellious crowd. If I said something about some one that was bad, but true, and someone who heard me threw a rock and broke a window, would I be guilty? It is easy to say the law would not be used like this, but fear makes men do strange things. a very important and significant role in Canada's defence program. While re-orgaization plans have closed a number of army camps throughout Canada, our Royal Canadian School of Milit- • ary Engineering ■ has been upgraded to status of Canadian Forces Bases extending the concerns of the immediate Vedder Crossing, Chilliwack area to all the military activity of the entire mainland of B.C. Additionally we have had established here the Canadian Forces Officer Candidate school, known as CFOCS which provides all basic officer training for the Canadian Armed Forces. The decision to close North Jericho placed an additional burden on Chilliwack as it became evident that vehicle and equipment repair shops as well as large warehouses would be needed to care for the heavy equipment from Jericho. The untimely death of Col. Sam Potts caused considerably disruption in base long-range planning and could have seriously affected the future of the economy of our area. However, a real spark-plug man of action by name of Col. Joe Black was named commander and he quickly picked up the reins and has not lookedback since. Few of us have any conception of the giant task involved in coordinating and programming a Canadian Forces Base during peacetime. The role of C.F.B. Chilliwack is to command the two schools CFOS and CFSME, andtoprovide administrative and logistic support for all military units, land sea and air, located on the B.C. mainland, including all milita and cadets. Col. Black will be required to command two schools on behalf of the Commander, Training Command, located in Winnipeg. The role of schools is to provide training in military engineering from basic to advanced, and at rank levels from Private to Major. Space does not permit more information at this time and a number of important factors should be brought to the attention of the public so they could properly appreciate the value of the base to our district. I'll tell more later but close with this comparison. The military economic contribution to our district was $5,000,000.00 in 1959. It will be $13,500,000.00 in 1970 and will continue to grow.

Some are fans of treasure collector's magazines and own a detector. This hobby, searching for artifacts of all types, Indian or early Canadian, is highly popular. One enthusiast started by collecting coins, stamps, also insulators from old telephone and telegraph poles. Insulators can sometimes be found in secondhand stores, are traded, or candle sticks made out of them. There are many kinds of barbed wire, some very rare from the old Western days of wide open ranges. What canyou do with wire when you collect it? Find another collector who resells it in small pieces. This amateur prospector states, "A good metal detector is needed, and can cost from $20.00 to $750.00 up." His detector weights ten pounds and he wears a shoulder harness to keep his hands free. "Normally a detector shouldn't weigh more than five pounds, ana it has various attachments on the end with sensitive coils." Treasures include gems and minerals, ghost town relics, old books, guns, antiques, also undersea riches. Even fireplaces in old torn-down home steads are know to yield small fortunes. There's apparently no end to this madness. Coin collecting can include Canadian, world crowns, medals, medallions, buttons or military decorations. Bottle collecting in this region has uncovered campsites of Chinese workmen pre-1900, and opium bottles, very small, some times still contain the drug. It's common to be digging in your own yard and unearth an early spearhead carved of stone, and many in this region will attest to such finds. New books on this subject are available at your Library: Collector's Guide to British Columbia's Indian Artifact Sites, by Laurence A. Lazeo, New Westminster author. Just published, this book gives, with -maps, locations of over 160artifact sites throughout B.C., also diagrams of artifacts found in this province.

And most of those injuries could have been avoided. To prevent c pain in the back, learn to lift the correct way: 1. Bend your knees. 2.Get down, so your arms, legs and back can share the load. 3. Keep your back straight and lift slowly. And if it's too heavy, don't even try. Get help. Some back injuries are the result of arthritis, or other back disease.

If your feet hurt, you hurt all over. 1*1 I Take Note They're All Talking by Eric Flowerdew I take note to the fact that the municipal councils are talking more and more about unemployment and social service costs and less and less about finding a solution. As I have often said in 1939 men were hungry and unemployed and a man called Hitler put them all to work defending their countries. Is that the only solution for the unemployed youth of today, to follow their father's footsteps into war? If a war broke out tomorrow we would find millions to promote killing, but let me suggest that the millions be put to use build- ing more houses, parks, recreation centres, cleaning up our beaches, even putting trails in the bush. Use the money to put people to work, we need better sewers, we are facing an environmental crisis. We should be looking for ways out of unemployment that are more than just dolling out social assistance. Our money should be spent making our country a better place to live, a country where most of our people could hold jobs with decent wages. We should be improving the lot of the young by giving them recreational facilities. In this way we could be solving unemployment - creating work and wages. Sounds alot cheaper than war - and alot more useful. I Would Like to Know Why are the salmon disappearing in the Fraser River? I have been told this is one of the worse seasons in years. -This means more trouble for the average owner, with increasing; costs, more boats and less fish. I wonder how the future livelihood's of these fishermen will be explained away • does it have to mean just more social assistance, or can something be done other than avoid the idea that perhaps pollution has something to do with the die-off of fish in the Fraser River? I Think This is News While the war is on in the USA Canada has been getting thousands of men who would not fight in their countries' war - men known as 'draft dodgers'. Some people would have us close our border to them. They should remember that some of the best brains got into Britain because they fled their country during the second world war - so let's just be careful when we need people who will assist in the future erowth of our country. By the way one of these days the Old Age Pensioners might go on strike, I for one, will assist in shaming the establishment at any time. I could use the Head of the Bank of Canada for an example. After all he got his income raised without a strike to $750,000.00 a year. What a life he must have compared to the average pensioner in Cart- I Rather Like It At a meeting the other night I got mixed up with Hunter Vogel, M.L.A., and do you know he admitted he agreed with Flowerdew! He agreed that in time Langley City and Districts would become one unit again. I note that Surrey has voted to cut their numbers on the Surrey council. The Langley council's have about one quarter of Surrey's population and yet they have two mayors and nine aldermen. This is bound to cost money even when they go to conventions. Yet we still have one school board, and we have one unit for the police force -- now just what are one Police force and one school board doing that one council couldn't? Well as long as people want to pay more the taxes will stay up too. Oh yes, we have one social service department and one hospital - live with it and you'll pay for it.

TIONS LIMITED Phone 858-6377 The STAR, Wednesday, September 9. 1970 Could That Really Happen Here? by Linda Laughlin I saw a freak-out, bummer, bad trip last night, an alien presence in my home. Such naked terror in the eyes of a mere child is enough to bring fear into my heart for our future and this generation of lost babies. Until 1 die I will never erase the sight of a young girl, a pretty, happy young girl who could be your babysitter or your daughterwrit- hing and screaming - seeing nothing but blood and pain and death. We found her sitting in the middle of the highway, squatting, cross-legged in the middle of a busy road, with cars swerving around her and rushing past into the night. She didn't care, she didn't really know she was there, I don't eventhink she would have felt more pain than she was if she had been hit by a car - for she wasn't aware of what she was doing. The reality of the cars and the busy road weren't there for her - just the reality of her mind and what the drug she had taken were doing to her. We dragged her, screaming and fighting, home - and for two hours she suffered more agony and fear than, I thought, were humanly possible. The emotion I felt was naked animal fear • and nothing you did or tried to do could possibly help. The doctor we phoned said all you could do was sit with her and if it got too bad to take her to the hospital or turn her over to the police. Here was somebodies' little girl crying and. hurling her self against anything - she wanted to fly-she wanted to die. My mind kept reeling to why it had happened? She didn't have to do this • she'd been left like this on that corner - why did she take it? Why would anyone do this tothemsell? You couldn't help - you couldn't do a thing - you could only watch, mind recoiling at the sight of what she was feeling, to her it was so real and it seemed to hurt ten times more than you or I could possibly feel. She saw horror we could not - she heard sounds out of our realm - and it had to hurt her mind. The physical symptons were vivid • and ugly. Her face erupted in a raw rash - her flesh was burning hot. Her mouth was white and drawn. Matted hair framed a face that ran the gam- let of human contortions, and some that were not quite human. We couldn't help her at home, and it really wasn't our place, to be helping. She was taken to the hospital, and they didn't really want her, they see so many like this, but after some hassling they called a doctor and she was admitted into emergency. Her mother was reached and she came. All she could do was love her girl - and all shecouldcry was "Ohmommy mommy - help me, help me!" That's a freak out - that's pain and it's not happening some where else to other people, it's happening here and now in our town to nice people, good families - people who love and care for their children - and it happened. It's time for the condemnation to stop, it's time for our kind of smug, secure people to wonder what we have done to these children that they want to do this to their minds and their bodies. We are so complacent in our homes, behind our facade of the "Better Life", and yet these children - the reflections of ourselves - are turning to this to escape the life we offer. Our society is sad- lacking in goals if this is what this generation feels they must turn to. If the time has come, that rather than face this life they want to turn to this, and take the chance of having this happen then the time has come that we had all better do what we must to show that our world isn't all ugly, that we do have morals and goals, and that we do love our children - because we're losing them.

To Develop Great Divide Trail A spectacular trail high in the Rocky Mountains is to be developed for the growing number of Canadians who in this age of car and Jet travel like to go on a nice, long walk —say 360 miles? The existing trails in Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Kootenay national parks will be interconnected to form the 360-mile Great Divide Trail, which in turn will eventually be linked through southern Alberta and Waterton Lakes national park with the UJS. Great Divide Trail to form a 500-mile hike over the highest part of the continent. All but 18 miles of the Canadian portion of the trail now exists and completing the trail- including some bridges — will be given a high priority, according to Jean Chretien, minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Overnight shelters every eight miles or so will be erected later and the entire project is scheduled for completion by 1975. Existing loop trails will link die Great Divide Trail to the more popular areas of the parks giving hikers a wide range of options for both long and Intermediate walks. The trail is designed for those who are not experienced mountaineers, but access to more difficult areas will also be provided. The idea for the trail was first suggested in 1967 by Philippe Delesalle, a Calgary architect and experienced i hiker. Studies conducted by the, national and historic parks' branch confirmed the possibility and suggested the route. Chretien said he would be pleased to receive further suggestions about the trail from interested groups and individual citizens. The Great Divide Trail will lead from Palllser Pass on the southern boundary at Banff national park along the continental dlvide to Egypt Lakes, leave die divide in Kootenay national park to pass by Floe Lake, skirt Lake O'Hara in Yoho national park and lead via Amiskwi Valley and Howse Pass back into Banff national park. In Jasper national park it will pass through the Maligne Valley into the townsite of Jasper andfrom there southwest to the boundary of Mount Robson provincial park in British Columbia. The great or continental divide is the watershed dividing streams that flow to opposite sides of the continent.

Rubella Vaccine For Pre-schoolers The campaign, to immunize every child from one to twelve in B.C. against German Measle, is gaining momentum.During the past few weeks several municipal governments have agreed to cost-share with the provincial government in a programme to immunize all children of school age. It is hoped that more municipal governments will go likewise. In the spread of Rubella infection there is till one gap -thepre- schoolers. The little guy who has lost the immunity carried over from his mother, which protected him through his first year of life, and who has not tad exposure to the disease, has built up no immunity of his own. This child would not suffer much himself, but is a threat to pregnant women who have not had the disease previously. 1970-71 is the epidemic year in B.C. for German Measles. Mothers are urged tocontact their local Health Unit to see that their preschoolers and school children are included in the program and prevent damage to unborn babies from German Measles.
