mfi* Also e flog ood arms shipment Wanted: A New Louis Riel by Dennis Ross I first learned what democracy is all about from Pierre Elliot Trudeau. He was being interviewed on coast-to-coast TV when a group of distraught ladies burst in demanding reform of Canada's abortionlaws. Our Prime Minister explained to the women that in a democracy, when an aggrieved faction wishes to force an issue, they must muster enough votes to back a person or party at the polls who promises redress. It is as simple as that, he explained. When representatives come to office who have been given the citizens' mandate, why then they can set to work rectifying the evils of a nation - or for that matter of a communiry; So it is at Langley. We have some problems. We are having an election. All that we as voters must do is topick the right people, people who intend to give their attention to our needs and things will settle themselves. This is probably true but Look at that list of hopefuls. And consider. And look at our needs. And think again. The whole south Langley district is swift building up into a close-packed urban area practically without recreational facilities. The new population Joes not realize their plight, but unless action is taken, that area is destined to be an urban slum. And the new arena, sadly enough will not suffice. True, it shall be an excellent (and expensive) token gesture, but it is not going to" do" the job for the hundreds of kids in South Langley and all of the rest of the municipality to boot. A fifteen minute drive around Brookswood will prove to even the most optimistic that facilities and grounds currently on the books will not be adequate. Aldergrove is seething and near open rebellion, requiring only a neo Riel, a flag and an arms shipment to fan its smouldering spontaneous combustion into the flames of secession from Langley. Fort is quiescent - now, anyway, but there hasn't been anything new created there in many moons and their population is not just exactly static. Have any park or playground areas been reserved for future development at the Fort? But the pity of it all is that precious fewofthosewhose names are to grace the ballot are showing even minimal concern for what is right now a crisis situation. And it is destined to worsen. Come, let us see what the candidates are quoted as having stated regarding their platforms relative to sports and recreation. (And as a gesture of impartiality we shall use that other local newspaper as our reference). The seven city people written up on page 12 said 'zilch* that we could see - except for some talk about the arena which is in reality a closed issue and a bit of peculiar talk re four recreation commissions. So we can only advise the thinking public to vote, for the unquoted couple as they may have more progressive plans. Bob Duckworth, running for mayor was featured on page 13 with the catchy little notation below his name: "Fungi develop in the lawn as a result of an overabundance of rotting organic matter in the soil." Aside from that shocking bit of news it was made plain that Bob is for .better facilities and organization. His past works bear this out. I for one am for him but if elected it looks as though his views may be in the minority. In the municipality Driedeger and Kitsul say good things about pools and parks. Irving is alleged to want a better road from Aldergrove to the arena. (We assume that he means a shorter one). And Bob Hubbard is said to be in favor of keeping an honest council. He did not say that he felt this to be a novelty in Langley, Nor did he indicate otherwise. But perhaps-we are being cruel and almost certainly those good people who wish to serve us are honorable men (and ladies). If you as a conscientious voter really are concerned about your community as aplace to live and as a place to raise children, then before you place the 'X' on that paper, you had best confer, if only by phone, with your favorite. You must make plain the fact that you care about recreational parks, buildings and other such facilities. Hence your representatives, when finally chosen, will know that they are crusaders for a cause. First World War veteran Albert Weldon strikes the match which makes the Aldergrove branch 265 of the Royal Canadian Legion free from debt. Legion presidents Joe Azyan and Marie Merriamlook on as^$40,00ft mortgage goes up in flames. Paper was paid off in less than four years. Second vice president of Pacific Command, Herman Keyes and zone commander Norman Johnson were also in attendance at mortgage burning ceremony and both joined Azyan in paying tribute to the Legion ladies who played an important role in the swift way in which the money matters were handled. Ceremony was also attended by Matsqui mayor Doug Taylor and by more than 200 Legion- aires. "You're a pretty independent bunch," Taylor told the membership, "and that is pretty Canadian to be that way." Branch 265 now plans to add a lounge to the hall on Fraser Highway. Construction of a $25,000 addition will probably start next year, Azyan says. At County Line s a „ £ 8 P? o o O hi 3 o ro 0 r1 r;' >—* < i o w a LARGE AUDIENCE HEAR PANEL by Connie Peterson A large turn out was on hand at County Line School In Aldergrove area Matsqui to build new arena Matsqui district needs a second ice sheet. Politicians, would-be politicians and ratepayers all seem to agree on this issue. And this second sheet, when it is built, will likely be located in the western end of the municipality, at Bradner or Mt. Lehman. Aid. Chuck Wiebe, seeking re-election, told about 75 ratepayers in Bradner last week that the present arena in Clearbrook was built to accomodate about 540 boys, but that at, the present time some 900-odd boys play hockey at all hours in the two-year old arena. He said that if registrations hadn't been closed more than 1,200 would have registered. The audience appeared pleased to hear that a second sheet was being contemplated HOUSING FOR SANTA Arrangements for housing Santa Claus on Saturday December 16 are now finalized. After Santa's arrival from the north in one of Northern Helicopter's machines he will be lead to his place of residence, which is to be in, what will be known in the future as the "Knick-Knack-Nook", but we'll hear more about that at a later date. It's located on the west side of Rowley's Jewelry and Santa will be there from the time of his arrival at the Aldergrove Ball Park at 2 p.m. till approximately 4 p.m. Make sure you are on hand to greet him. ' and that it would likely be located in their neighborhood. "There will be an arena in Bradner before McMillan Park," Wiebe said. The residents of Matsqui a- gree that the MSA arena is an excellent building. It cost the three municipalities of Abbots ford, Sumas and Matsqui less than $750,000 to build, about half of which was land costs. In Langley district, close to Langley city, an icearenacom- plex with one sheet of ice is presently being built for $1.7 million. Not including land costs. ROSE SEEKS COMMITTEE PROBE Mark Rose, the New Democratic Party MP for Fraser Valley West, is pressing for an early study of the federal corrections system, particularly parole and temporary Garry's robbed What police believe could have been a team of two people broke into Garry's Men's Wear in Aldergrove last Thursday night. The thieves, or thief, picked the lock on the back door of. jay Dee Meats adjacent to the clothing shop, and crawled through the ceiling tiles of the meat store into the men's wear establishment. Laigley RCMP reported that ab'Mf. $2,000 (wholesale) in clothing w&? lost, aid exactly $237.93 in cash. There are no suspects as yet but police say there is a possibility that it was a professional job. The RC MP crime lab found no finger prints and there was absolutely no da.ti.ije to either establishment. absence programs, by the Commons Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. In a letter to Warren All- mand, the new solicitor general, Rose cited concern among the public, correctional officers, and a number of inmates to whom he has spoken. Rose said there was no general sentiment to return to a purely punitive prison system. But "administrative incompetence of some magnitude prevails" and "no effective explanation of the parole and absence programs, practices and objectives has been made to the public," he told the new minister. He asked for Allmand's cooperation in sending the issue to committee for a report and recommendations by March 31. The committee should have the power to travel and to hear witnesses, he said. "This procedure, in my opinion, would permit the whole subject of corrections to be thoroughly ventilated and amended, more in keeping with citizen expectations and acceptance." last Wednesday evening to hear a panel of three, Marg Foster, Anne Simcock and Lome Dance outline ideas to bring schools and communities closer together. Mrs. Foster, vice- president of the Langley Citizens Concern for Education Committee pointed out how community involvement in the schools could benefit both parents and teachers. She also felt that if schools were used for more community activities vandalism would be greatly reduced. The panel made it clear that all community activities should be planned and have a responsible person in charge. County Line school feel they are taking a step in the right direction as the tennis-volleyball court presently being constructed is intended for school and community use. INMATES TO SPONSOR POOR PEOPLE When inmate Donald Anderson of the Matsqui Institution disappeared a few weeks ago, he took with him a substantial amount of money which was scheduled for use in the staging of a poor people's conference in Matsqui this weekend. Officials of theMatsquiCom- munity Services have now announced that part of the conference will now be financed by inmates still confined within the institution. The prisoners have taken $469.00 out of their own training fund to be donated to the cause. Meanwhile police report they are still investigating the escape of Donald Anderson, but the elusive ex-bank robber who once told The Star he was part of a group of South American revolutionaries, has so far supplied no leads to police as to his whereabouts.

Electrohome and Admiral T.V.'s are predominant, and components you have a good selection of AGS's and Electrohome sets. Unfortunately for Aldergrove Radio and T.V. the recent strike at Electrohome has slowed down orders of T.V.s and combination sets but last Monday they went back to work and word was received that in order to fUl the backlog of orders a large shipment of air transport will be sent off this week, from the factory in the east, so very soon the new showroom at Aldergrove Radio and T.V. should be brimming with a wide selection. So when shopping for that new color T.V. or component set for music lovers, stop in and look over the selection at Aldergrove Radio and T.V., you won't need to go any further. WhUe you are there go through their record stand, it also will be vastly expanded, but presently there's a good selection in Christmas music and many recent albums as well. And also for the small appliance gifts for yourself there are electric mixers, toasters, ing and rearraning the new showroom. juicers, blankets, knives, fondue sets, curlers, hairdryers, kettles, coffee makers and many other items. Naturally Aldergrove Radio and T.V. backs up any T.V. and radio set they sell, all of them have the factory warranty but they also service what they sell.

Vote Jessie Edwards r I m THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1972 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The finest telent in the world's right here ... Editor, The Star, Dear Sir, May I present a few thoughts arising out of the Douglas Day dinner held in the Langley secondary school gymnasium- auditorium. At the outset I wish to thank all concerned in the organization of this lovely annual event - it was well done! But the words "gymnasium- auditorium"....Consider - At* nually we have with us some of the most distinguished guests in the land - our premier and cabinet with their ladies, the two local mayors and their councils, our pioneer citizens- plus, mark you, the present generation of Aldergrove-Lang- ley boys andgir's! Now, were we a handful of new settlers arrived here in the past few years, we would probably point with pride to that same gymnasium-auditorium, and justifiably. But Langley mumcipality and city long ago left behind those early pioneer times. (Well, mostly!) I sincerely wished last year, when the governor-general of Canada was with us at the same function, that every resident of Langley district could have seen the quizzical expres- sion on Mr. Mitchener's face as he leaned back, his eyes taking in the "gym" rafters, the bleachers, etc. He knew, of course, that as a high school gymnasium-auditorium it was adequate and met that honest need. Some kindly amusement, humor and understanding lit his smile, thoroughly realizing we were offering the best we had - as indeed, we were! May I say these observations are in no way a reflection upon our school board, which is fulfilling its duty to provide well- appointed schools - just that! We are grateful they loan us these facUities to "tide us over" our great need in the matter of an auditorium. My concern is notfor theonce a year V.I.P.'s - but rather, for our own young people, and our own citizens. We have here among these Langley-Al- dergrove boys and girls some of the finest talent in music, drama, ballet, etc., in this continent. For them to develop their full potential in the cultural arts, they need more than roUer skating, bowling, ice skating and hockey (necessary and fine as these all are). That Monday evening four choruses from local elementary schools along with that of It wes o good yeer Last Sunday morning Imman- uel Lutheran Church, Jackman Rd. observed its annual Laity Sunday. This gave the Reverent H.E. Fruson an opportunity to take a week's vacation, charging one of the laymen, Mr. R.A. Pippus, with the responsibility of conducting the worship service. Since Laity Sunday feU on the last Sunday of the Christian Church Year, Mr. Pippus began his message by wishing his fellow worshippers "A Happy New Year". He used as his text Rev. 1:8, "I am the Alpha and the Omega", the beginning and the end, or to paraphrase God's words, "I'm everything from A to Z". "It seems appropriate to me that we should look back over the year of our church life and pick out the highlights," said Mr. Pippus, "so that we can take a look at where we have been, where we are now, and what's ahead for us in the coming year". He felt a good place to start would be to recall the Stewardship Program of a year ago. Under the name The David Plan, this Stewardship program mustered the resources of every family in the congregation and brought new life and activity - and funds - into the church. The success of that drive encouraged the members to complete the purchase of one acre of land north of the present site and to prepare architect's plans for the erecting of a new church facility. Another milestone, Mr. Pippus recalled was the amending of the constitution to allow the lady members and all communicants who have reached the age of 19, full voting privileges and to aUow them to take executive positions in the church. As for the future, the congregation has voted to call once again, a full-time resident Pastor. The first caU meeting was held on November 20th and a call will be sent in approximately one week's time. "It was an eventful year and bigger, more exciting things are in the immediate future" said Pippus. "If we live day by day with faith that God takes care of all our needs, and if we learn to keep our fingers out of the machinery, then we have a very bright future indeed, and we look forward to serving our entire community with our new expanded church buUding". Langley secondary school presented us with some of the finest singing I have heard in 35 years' work in public schools - and this in spite of the iact that the nearly 200 childrett>hadto be strung out in a thin thre%»deep rank one hundred fifty feet long along two walls at right angles. A worse positioning for such a huge chorus could hardly be devised. The stage was inaccessible, being blocked off with several huge portable kitchens, and the entire floor covered with tables, except for the scanty space where the children squeezed in. (Again, this is no criticism of the Douglas Day committee, who also had to "make-do" withwhatwas available). It is a magnificent tribute to the musiclanshipofRaeFether- stonhaugh, music director of School District No. 35, and to the calibre of his staff of instructors, that those two hundred boys and girls, from age 8 to 16 or 17 years, necessarily located at great distance from their conductors, never wavered in their attention and complete unity, and presented a series of musical offerings which were, without exception, of concert-hall quality. We need an auditorium, cap able of seating 1000 to 1500. We have talent which richly merits such. And, given an auditorium, the conventions, rallies, visiting celebrities, and the like, which now pass Langley by like scalded cats for sheer lack of accomodation, would bring to residents of the municipality and city some of those things we love, but must now forego (unless you want to drive 401 in fog and snow to Vancouver!) What I am trying to convey is that the need of a real auditorium here is very great. Let's raise our sights! Respectfully, Stanley H. ChurchiU Bureau for co-ordination of Christmas hampers Editor, The Star, Dear Sir, Once again Family Life Association is prepared to operate a Bureau to co-ordinate the distribution of Christmas Hampers. The service is designed to avoid over-lapping and to assure that needy families are assisted. It is not intended that the Bureau itself will make up or deliver the hampers, but simply to co- relate donor with recipient. 1.

TRAFFIC PROBLEM Pre-warning stop signs badly needed at hazardous intersections, i.e. Bellingham-Fraser and Livingstone-Fraser.

KITSUL Fire hits local farm A barn and half of a loaded hay shed were burned to the ground Monday afternoon when fire struck the Wurtz farm on 30th Avenue, off Otter Road. No livestock were lost in the blaze, although the farmer suffered damages to his buildings and farm implements, totalling about $20,000. The Aldergrove volunteer fire department saved half of the hay shed as well as two adjacent buildings from the rampaging flames. Before the Aldergrove firemen were through with the inferno, they had spent five hours on the scene. Says Bradner resident Stewardship a must A business of several million dollars should have the same responsibility toward its shareholders as any other enterprise, even if it is a municipal business, aldermanic candidates were told atacandi- dates meeting in Bradner last Thursday night. In calling for the re-enactment of annual stewardship meetings in Matsqui, Ed Sanders said this was the true test of democracy. Candidate Spud Murphy answered Sanders by saying that he felt there was not the sufficient interest in local politics anymore. He said that council held stewardship meetings throughout the district a few years ago but that the turnout was downright disheartening. At one meeting, he said, only two spectators turned out, one being Doug's (Mayor Doug Taylor) mother, so that, in fact, "only one legitimate spectator came to listen to a fuU slate of candidates." Aldergrove Lake dive victim reaps $67,800 damages An award for damages against the Vancouver Fraser Parks District was granted in B.C. Supreme Court last week to Garry Olmstead 23. Olmstead, who was paralyzed from the neck down following a diving accident in Aldergrove Lake Park on June 26, 1970, was awarded the settlement by a jury after nearly nine hours of deliberation Friday night. The jury came to the decision that Olmstead had suffered damages to the tune of $2'J6,000 but maintained that he was 70 percent responsible for the mishap and therefore should only receive 30 percent of that total assessment. The mishap occurred when Garry Olmstead wasbnacamp- ing trip at the park in June, 1970, and he left his campsite on the park grounds one evening to take a dip in the lake. He charged negligence against the district, claiming there were no signs warning of shallow depth at the edge of the lake, and footnoting that the lake was deceptively designed to appear deeper than it is. When he dove into the water he received neck injuries which will require special treatment for the rest of Olmstead's life. The parks district contested the allegations on the grounds that Olmstead was negligent in diving into the pool at night. However, Murphy added, if the turnout at this year's Bradner meeting was an indication of renewed interest, then perhaps stewardship meetings could once more become an annual affair in Matsqui. About 75 people were present to listen to eight aldermanic and two school board candidates. Every year a district council stewardship meeting is held about two weeks prior to the municipal election in Langley. Massive range on two sets of tenders Tenders wereopenedDecem- ber 1st, for the drilling of a well next to a municipal sewer plant. The well is needed to supply water required to facilitate the proper functioning of the sewer plant at Aldergrove. There was approximately a 300 percent range in prices, with the high bid coming from Langley Water WeUs Ltd. at $5,800, and the low bid from Totem Drilling and Pumps with $1,750. The tenders were offered on a 'no water no pay' basis, thus if the driller reached 75 feet and did not strike water, he would be at liberty to leave the site and the job unfinished. CouncU was not sure why the price range was so high, and they decided to send a copy of the amounts of each bid to all the companies involved. Clerk administrator Dereck Doubleday, said he did not think there would be any problem striking water on the site. Meanwhile, council has requested its staff to make an investigation as to why tenders on the remodeling of the RCMP buUding in Murrayville represented such a wide price range. The tenders entered were: $36,127.00 from Grovefield Construction, $45,400.00 from Langley Construction, and finally $61,983.00 from Teck Construction. Council's protection committee, who look after such matters in the police vein, expressed in their committee meeting on Friday that there must be some discrepancy causing the mix up.

Nationally, there is some $40 million allocated to help For new collectors For the first time in Canada a starter kit for stamp collecting and a comprehensive reference book on Canadian stamps will be available from the Post Office department. t The two items were released November 27, just in time for Christmas. The "Stamp Starter Kit" and the book, "Canada - Stamps and Stories", are designed to stimulate an interest in stamp collecting and to show how the historical, cultural and economic achievements of a nation are reflected in its postage stamps. The "Stamp Starter Kit" is the first one of a series which will feature historical notes and postage stamps illustrating different aspects of Canada's heritage. Ideally equipped for any child or adult to start their own stamp collection, the kit comes complete with a fifteen- page bilingual mini-album, a package of stamps and mounting hinges, and an illustrated instruction pamphlet describing how to start and maintain a stamp collection. The kit also includes a listing of all Canadian postage stamps issued from 1967 through 1971. The mini-album contains mounting blocks for used stamps (illustrated in color) and unused stamps (illustrated in black and white). Many of the used stamps shown in the album are provided in each kit. - Packages of the same stamps in unused or mint condition can also be purchased separately at post offices where the kits are on sale. The "Canada - Stamps and Stories" book has wide appeal both as a reference volume by itself and as a complement to the starter kits for new collectors. It is a definitive listing with full-color illustrations of every postage stamp issued in this country, before and after Confederation. In addition to the listing of each stamp the bilingual text includes a glossary of philatelic terms, historical notes, and illustrations of other products of interest to collectors. It is intended to publish "Canada- Stamps and Stories" annually to include all new Canadian issues and revised listings. The "Stamp Starter Kit" and "Canada - Stamps and Stories" were produced at the request of the Canada Post Office by the Scott Publishing Company of Canada Limited in co-operation with Information Canada and the public archives. The two items will be avaUable for $2.00 each at most post offices throughout Canada and by mail order through the department's Philatelic Service in Ottawa. Arrangements are being made to make these items available through stamp dealers and commercial outlets as well.

A similar program last winter saw more than 3,000 unemployed people given on-the- job training in B.C. "This is a particularly effective tool for the expansion minded businessman," said' Neill. An industry which expects to expand its workforce by next spring can hire people several weeks or even months before they're needed and train them while the federal government pays a high percentage of the trainee's wages." A key feature is that the trainees must be an addition to the normal workforce. An employer cannot lay off a regular employee and hire a trainee as replacement. To make this worthwhUe from the employer's point of view, the federal government pays 75 percent of the trainee salary during the first half of the training program and 50 per cent during the last half. The federal share of the wage bUl cannot exceed $118. per week per trainee. Neill said a high percentage of people trained on the job last year continued on their jobs after the training period ended. He said the program last year supported trainees in a broad variety of occupations ranging from radio announcers and newsmen to telephone installers, food service managers, aircraft maintenance- men, miners, sawmill operators and shipbuilders. Application forms and information kits are avaUable at all Canada Manpower Centres.

He was clothed in a % length buckskin jacket and brown pants, and wore a faint mustache. The gunman entered the store on November 13th at 7:30 p.m. and yanked the revolver from his coat, then he moved to the rear of the occupied store and demanded that proprietors Mr. and Mrs. Robert Butt turnover all the cash. This was done, and the thief vacated the premises. It is believed he escaped in a white Pontiac product, year 1965 or thereabouts (possibly a GTO model). He wore dark glasses throughout the robbery.

Chairman John Brion, of the West Langley Ratepayers, started the meeting off by not. ing that the district is at a critical stage in its own history. He said that by-law 1380 (zoning) concerns everyone. Incumbent Bill Blair was first to the floor. He told the group he had spent a rather interesting year serving as chairman of the Board of Works committee. This was the first time he has held this post since he joined council. He said that he had always been somewhat critical of this committee in the past, but expressed that it is a different story when one tries to change things. He said it is easy to increase the mill rate, but added many people can ill afford the increase in taxes. Throughout the question period, Langley's zoning plan was under constant fire. Blair took the stance that zoning will be good for the district, but said some provisions will have to be made for people who have by Gary Chambers lived here many years, only to find they are going to be re- zoned and their land value is to be dropped. Another point of serious question was the condition of some of the municipal roads. One of Blair's main answers to bad road conditions, was to have truckers who wish to ship heavy loads post bonds for the repair of any road surface they may damage. Blair was followed by Jessie Edwards. Jessie said that in her mind a council member had to be three things to serve the electorate properly. She said a successful candidate should first be a good listener, additionally a good spokesman and a person who knows the area and is willing to take responsibility. One of her issues was poor library service. She compared the Fraser Valley Regional Library to the Vancouver Island system. She said the island system serves a very large area with poor road service and isolated pockets of population, yet it is able to process a book request in three days, where it may take up to a matter of weeks in our own area. She said Langley has the dubious distinction of spending the second lowest amount in tax dollars, of any other B.C. district with library service. After a brief touch on the subject of poor road safety conditions in the district, Jessie Edwards closed her opening speech by citing that women had been without a voice on council since its incorporation in 1873. Later in the meeting Jessie was asked to comment on the lack of cultural development in Langley. She told question* er Stanley Churchill she would like to see grants to needy art groups increased in number and size. She went further to say there are many talented and interested people in the area, but they need organization. A school of fine arts is something the Fort Langley hopeful cited as a wish she had for the district. West Langley's Herb Hahn was next to the floor.

He said the district should be thought of as four separate urban areas, those regions being Fort Langley, Aldergrove, Brookswood and Murrayville. Hahn took a crack at the older more experienced members of council, saying that council needs some 'younger men* to put some fresh blood and new ideas to the people. Hahn also charged that the Regional Plan had been ignored in West Langley with the placement of a spur railway line through the area which has now been followed by industrial zoning. In the question period, Herb Hahn was asked to comment on the provincial government's recent action inplacing a freeze on the rezoning of farm lands.

ROYAL BANK HAS ANOTHER FALSE ALARM Aldergrove's Royal Bank experienced the second false a- larm in less than a month Friday night. The bank's alarm system has been playing havoc with the staff and local police, although it is nice to know (especially if you bank at the Royal) that in both cases police were on the scene before they could be turned back. The bank reported that the alarm system was fixed Monday. 10 THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1972 Alderhoven still has sovoral vacaacios by Inge Langmann A meeting of the Aldergrove Senior Housing Society took place in the lobby of the newly completed Alderhaven. Rev. Gordon Hyde told the members that the municipality of Langley had contacted him regarding an official opening of Alderhaven. The date and time for this occasion was set for Friday, December 15 at 2:00 p.m. Langley Mayor Preston, aldermen and officials from the Central Housing Society will be present. The question of how to spend the $1,905.00 which has been donated to the society by various service groups, was discussed in length. The final decision was to leave it up to the residents of Alderhaven, and a questionnaire will be circulated for them to make . their suggestions. This will be done during the first part of January. The society will then meet again and make the final decisions. The society was informed that the housing complex was far from being filled. There are three double suites and 17 single apartments still vacant, and deputy municipal clerk Miss E.V. Coates, had exhausted the application forms. This caused some concern among the society members, who all were of the impression that all suites and then some, were spoken for. Indeed there had been many more applications originally to more than fill the 53 unit housing complex, but due to the delay in construction, caused by strikes, marry, who had sold their homes, had to make other living arrangements. The society thought that this conception was common, and most people did not even bother inquiring, thinking it would be of no use, and expressed desire to have the fact published that there are indeed 20 vacant suites. Mr. Jeeves, caretaker of the housing complex, said that some people, who had been looking over the suites, were of the opinion that they were too small, while the suites are in fact much larger than any of the other senior low rental housing complexes built by the Central HousingSociety. The individual suites each consist of a kitchen complete with electric range and fridge, bathroom with tub and shower and* a large storage room with shelves. The single suites have a nook for a bed plus a spacious living room. The double suites have separate bedroom and livingroom. The complex also has a spacious lobby with leatherette easy chairs, wall to wall rug and fireplace, but to make the atmosphere more homey pictures on the walls and some green plants and flowers and individual reading lamps are need ed. There's a games room, which is not completed yet, and on each storey there's a laundry room with automatic washer and dryer. The heating is hot water system which gives a good even heat and each apartment has its own thermostat. There's an elevator connecting the floors and each apartment has a balcony, the ground floor apartments have sliding doors to the outside. Each apartment is connected to the front door with a bell and a P.A. system. The apartments have a neutral off white wall color with pleated drapes in a neutral eggshell shade. In my estimation a real bright retirement apartment which does not require hours of heavy cleaning) giving one lots of time to do much more interesting things. Aldergrove OAP Agendo Wed.

McGill University Herbarium Throughout the centuries botanists have collected, dried and pressed flowers and plants as a scientific record of their observations. The biology department at McGill University had a collection of 75,000 specimens including some of the first documented Canadian material dating back almost to 1821 when McGill itself was founded. Early members of the Montreal Natural History Society contributed specimens. This collection has now joined the 25,000 specimens on the Macdonald campus at Ste. Anne de Bellevue to form the McGill University Herbarium. It includes a fine collection of arctic plants put together by the former curator Dr. Dorothy Swales, and is now in the charge of the plant pathology department of Macdonald College.

Developer still willing to go aboad with shopping centre A Calgary development company, Devco Properties Limited, which earlier this year lost out in a bid to establish a shopping complex in the Clearbrook area is still willing to go ahead with the plan. An official of the company, Fred Jaremchuk told CFVR news if the Grosvenor plan should fall by the wayside, Devco still has commitments from potential tenants for the centre it had proposed on 18 acres at Clearbrook Road and the 401. The devco plan was tossed out by Matsqui council in July because it did not fit ih with overaU plans for municipal development. The development would have included a branch of K-mart, a supermarket and 25 other stores. Cost of the development would have been more than four million dollars. PHONE 856- Can >\l\/ood Dnduitxiti.

Walt Jensen made an interesting statement in Monday morning's sitting of district councU. The long time incumbent alderman said that industry has become undesirable like government. He said that in council's new zoning by-law the objectionable industrial de- elopments will be confined to the north west corner of the district. "It's objectionable," he said, "that's why they placed the capital in Victoria on the southern tip of an island." In their discussion of the zoning by-law, council passed a motion to clarify the status of a piece of land adjacent to the Khatzi Indian Reserve. The land will most assuredly be zoned industrial. Says public official "Stapich's stetemeot stupid" Last week B.C.'s minister of agriculture made a statement to the effect that he was planning a freeze on all farm land rezoning in the province. Langley councU feels that the result of his statement is going to be a rezoning of much of the municipalities farm land before the minister can get his bill passed in the legislature. The first application of what the aldermen seem to feel is going to be a rash of such applications was brought up in council Monday. The remark made by the minister during a speech in Vancouver was referred to in council as a 'stupid statement', although the aldermen did not seem to object too strenuously to the idea behind the proposed freeze. The freeze was explain- ed to be intended to stop the cutting up of diminishing farm lands for purposes of land speculation and the building of subdivisions. A letter wUl be directed to the department asking what the ministry plans to do and how this will affect outlying districts such as Langley. Later in a telephone interview, Mayor George Preston stated that in his mind the legislation will not affect councU's zoning bylaw as the by-law wiU be passed long before the next sitting of the legislature. The by-law will be finalized by the Regional District at their next meeting on the 18th of December. In Matsqui FIREPLACES Built in or free standing. Do it vourself and save.

Ten Candidates Make Election The first aldermanic candidate to speak at an all-candidates meeting in Bradner last Thursday night was Gerald Adams, 36, an FVMPA foreman who was born and raised in the district. Adams said it was important to elect representatives that could get along on council, but on the other hand, "do the people want a council of yes-men? ... I think not," the former alderman said. Adams said the council was presently "run by the mayor and two aldermen" and that the remainder of council just "rubberstamp their approval." Adams, who retired two years ago to spend more time with his family, charged that the staff and council were "sleeping in the same bed, leading to collusion in local politics. "Stop the one-man rule of council," he said. "The next move is yours." Next was Robert Brady, 32, a resident of Bradner. He agreed that council was split right now, "arguing back and forth and unable to get any good legislation passed." Brady said that if he was elected he wouldn't be "in there to swing any big land deals" since he didn't hold any land interests himself. He would rather view each development proposal on its own merit for the good of Matsqui residents only. As an individual deeply interested in sports and young people, Brady said the district of Matsqui should have many more facilities for boys and girls. And he added, that if elected, he would answer to the people where the recreational tax-dollar goes. Brady also said there was still a severe water problem in Matsqui and that he would like to see the entire district served by adequate water lines. The drainage problem at Matsqui Prairie was another problem that would have to be solved fast, he said. Dietrich Dyck was next. With his experience as a businessman he had the right qualifications to serve in public business on council, he said. Dyck, a retired businessman- farmer listed his background as a Surrey Co-op director for six years, member of Broiler Growers Association for six years and Broiler Marketing Board three years. Dyck also served as a director of the Abbotsford Growers Co-op in the past and on the board of directors of the MEI Institute and Mennonite Benevolent Society. He has resided in Matsqui for the past 25 years. Ronald Lee,.a retired librarian with Fraser Valley regional library would like to see more local employment. Lee stressed his administrative background and said this would be an asset to the municipality if he should serve as councilman for the next two years. "We need more industry and more business," Lee said, "to create more jobs." He would also like to see the "tying together" of Clearbrook and Abbotsford. Michael McAuley said there were many issues facing the voter in the Dec. 9 elections. He said he was "very uneasy about the federal pen south of Clearbrook" which he said had a complete "open-door" policy. "It's time we did something about it," the real estate salesman and former resident of Bradner said. McAuley said he would do his best to help the farmers. He said interest rates on loans to farmers should be dropped, and that also pensioners should be assisted by the municipal government with a minor grant on top of the NDP government's recently approved $300 per month "Mincome" scheme. "It might not be much," he said, adding that even a minor a- mount would be welcome. McAuley also stated that he was in favor of the proposed shopping centre, in order to "keep home and farm taxes at a minimum." 'Spud' Murphy was next. He also criticized the present administration, saying that cooperation on council was needed but that such "co-operation is a two-way street." "To get co-operation you have to deserve co-operation," the Abbotsford businessman said. "But not the kind of co-operation you get from blind yes-men."

BLAIR HUBBARD mm Bill Bob Walt THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1972 * V3» Promises Before Bradner Crowd Murphy, who previously served eight years on Matsqui council, seven of these as a reeve, said it was very important the district negotiated the very best deal available for a major shopping centre. He said it was equally important that the district only sign land- use contracts with developers who were not "hit-and-run artists," and that no special favors were granted major developers. He was very critical of pressure exerted by developers. He said all the nine candidates, as far as He knew had been pressured to make statements regarding their individual stands regarding the proposed $10-million shopping complex, and that "a harangue" was likely to appear in next week's AMS News on this subject. "They (the developers) want everybody to bow down," he said. Handing the present administration a single rose, Murphy said the district's water system "is working very well." Jake Van Biert was the next candidate to take the micro- Weother Report by Norm Green 1972 Temperature Precip.

Temperatures ranged from 25 deg. on the 17th and 20th to 55 deg. on the 11th, compared with 26 deg. to 57 deg. last November. Only 1964 with a high of 53 deg. and 1963 with 54 deg. had lower November maximums. Fifteen days had frost, two more than normal. Eleven days were mostly sunny, three more than normal, the most since 1961 which also had eleven.

He said good public relations were badly needed in Matsqui municipal hall and that petitions presented to council needed consideration. "We cannot just throw them in the wastebasket," he said. Van Biert, a member of Matsqui's diking and draining committee, said planning also was an important aspect of municipal business. "We don't want a second Vancouver," he said. The Matsqui Prairie farmer also called for more recreational - and not only sports - facilities. Incumbent alderman Chuck Wiebe was the last to speak. Referring to the Matsqui flood plain diking program he said, "I hate to think we (Matsqui municipality) are paying 10 per cent of the cost and still taking the brunt of the burden." He said it was time for council to "get together" but that "planning takes time." "It's easy to criticize, I think you'll all agree," the Clearbrook merchant said. He said the roads in the district were getting better all the time and that further planned water extensions "will add a lot to the community." Wiebe praised the predominantly Bradner audience for being "definitely self-supports ing" in their recreational endeavours. "By your own initiative you have created what others need government grants for," he said. The ninth candidate, Steve Laxton was absent. Then it was the audience's turn. Taking the heaviest amount of criticism was Wiebe, closely edged by Murphy and Adams. Wiebe was accused of "bickering" and making "nasty snide remarks" on council, and advised to "read Dale Carnegie's book." "How many dollars were spent on road reconstruction between Clearbrook and Ware Rd.?" he was asked. Wiebe answered that he couldn't recall the exact amount but it would probably be in the neighborhood of $600,000, of which the local ratepayer paid 40 percent. "How can we get out of the mess we are in in Matsqui Prairie?" another ratepayer asked. Answering this question, Spud Murphy said the people of the Matsqui low lands had been led into an impossible situation. He said the dike problem was being dealt with by "digging a hole in the dike and filling it with sand and gravel to let the (river) water percu- late through it and then pump the water out (from the prairie)." Douglas Taylor... answers candidates Murphy said the residents had three choices as matters stood at the present time, 1) to be . "drowned out", 2) to be "strangled by taxes", or 3) to be "sued, strangled by taxes, have no dike, and be drowned anyway. "Our mayor talked us into it," he said. Adams said 34 percent of the troublesome water on Matsqui Prairie came from the prairie itself and 66 percent from the surrounding higher- situated areas. "We all have a responsibility to see to it that the water gets to the river," he said. He said it could be done by adding "a couple of mills or out of general revenue." Brady agreed that more ditches and outlets should be built. The issue then shifted to the controversial shopping centre. "How do you feel about the shopping centre and amalgamation?" a member of the audience asked. "These are two separate things," Murphy said. "The shopping centre is a hot issue at the moment." He urged the voters to not put too great an emphasis on this issue. "I am for amalgamation," he said, "and a shopping centre is a good thing per se. But we need the best we can get." He said competition was the answer. Three different developers have within the last couple of months presented $10-million shopping centre proposals for For All Your MOBJLt HOME Requirements Always Try Westlawn Mobile Homes 16099 Fraser Hwy. , Phone 596 . 1505 24 HOUR TOWING no job too small or too big EXPERT REPAIR and PARTS SERVICE on all makes of Cars and Trucks S. m%fot*tf&S0*A Days 856-8721 Night 856-2140 ALDERGROVE the MSA area. "Too many things get rub- berstamped," Adams added. This provoked an exchange between Adams and Mayor Doug Taylor, who was seated in the audience. "There are no bed fellows," Taylor retorted. But the former alderman, in turn, claimed that the mayor's special friends on council were rewarded with the important chairmanships. The mayor also got into a small argument with his former rival, Spud Murphy. Murphy advised the audience not to misinterpret his statement about "hit-and-run" developers. Grosvenor Investments, the planners of the latest shopping centre proposal, were a 600-year old firm of astute business people, he said. "But we (the municipality) are capable of coming up with a far better deal," he said. "They are astute businessmen and they need to deal with an astute council." "Do you intend to apply 15 percent to these people and 10 percent to others?" Taylor asked with irony. Murphy answered that he did not like the pressure of "Are you in favor of Grosvenor or not?" School trustee candidates Dave Kandall and Raymond Sandford spoke briefly. Kandall said he was an ex-high school teacher with "a background interest in young people." He thought school "e- quipment should be fully used and totally available." Sandford promised nottoforget Bradner, or at least not any more than he would forget "my own Ridgedale area, or any other area of the district."

In their book The Lace Ghetto, authors Maxine Nunes and Deanna White aptly describe the situation which inspired this series. "Many of the great male writers and philosophers of our culture, whose task it is to interpret the human condition, have taken it upon themselves to define woman. But woman herself has not yet succeeded in defining her own identity. Even in this relatively enlightened century, the human condition continues to be considered as something quite apart from the female condition."

About 200 years ago the spirit of rebellion, revolution, change and independence shook large areas of the western civilization, and it was at this time that women pubUcly began to question the validity of the assumptions on which their lives were based. In 1972 many women no longer believe the centuries-old descriptions and definitions of "woman",, and are looking for a new understanding of their roles in society. Programs in the series touch upon all phases of a woman's life, from adolescence through motherhood and aging. There are documentaries on women of other centuries and cultures, present women's movements, and well-known individual women. The ways in which men view and treat women are also the subjects for programs in the series. T'-v - .

The Star's bowling reporter, Art Nott, landed the high score. Like all good newsmen, he felt so humble about the prospect of being in the public light that he turned the penmanship duties over to his research assistant, Ernie Goodison. Nott's high score was 283- 213 which makes the whole editorial department of this sturdy tabloid rather proud. Paris Palumbo was not too far behind for second place with 246 and 210. Jim Boyce netted a fine slate of figures, grabbing third place with his 228-219 and 210. Leo Kempin scored 211 which is a fine finish for his day of bowling. Many a game has been won with a score of 210 which was Sam Dick's score. Last, but in this league there is never a least, was Weldon Gildart who darted 202 points down the hardwood. TheOAP's wiU be back in action in seven days' time. All's fair in love and bowling and there will be no holds barred when they meet at the Alder Lanes this week.

LIMITED USE OF OVERSNOW VEHICLES Limited use of oversnow vehicles will again be permitted in western national parks this winter, LJL Robinson, western regional director of National and Historic Parks says. Trails used last year in the national parks from Manitoba to British Columbia wUl generally be open this year, Robinson says, but the previous ban in Elk Island, Glacier and Kootenay national parks wiU remain in force except for a half mile transportation corridor along the Mount Berland fire road, in Kootenay. The road provides access from a group of motels to areas outside the park boundary. Permits are required to operate an oversnow vehicle within the parks and are avaUable without charge from park gates and administration offices. Trail opening dates wiU be announced later. National park regulations state that these vehicles must stay on designated trails. This is not only for the operator's safety but also to protect the habitat of wUd animals. Straying from the traU or harassing animals could lead to a $500 fine or six months in jail. Park wardens will continue to maintain close watch on the effect of oversnow vehicle use on the environment, Robinson says. In British Columbia's Yoho park a seven mile road and loop traU around Emerald Lake is designated.

They played a hard, fast game on a terrible pitch. Sid Anderson at centre counted for number one, quickly tied by Penguins. Fred Des Lauriers set Dons ahead again on a penalty shot - tied again by a beautifully taken direct kick. Des Lauriers gave Aldergrove the third go ahead only to see it vanish ten minutes from full time. 'Grove rep. sides Div. 4 Legion showed the way Saturday, but no-one else from the old home town seemed able to emulate it. Braving the tempest, cold, snow and bitter wind, Legionnaires stuck in there to defeat Blue Mountain Dynamiters 3-1. Trailing 14) at the interval the Aldergrove side put together a pair of markers by Mike Krovets and a single from Mike Buston while playing shutout ball in the backfield to win it. Victory on a day like that is doubly impressive when one realizes that it was accomplished with just ten ball players. Div. 5 Navy did not play. Div. 6 Rihans, behind 2-1 at their half-time faded dis- asterously and ended 6-1. Hatch- well was the scorer. Div. 7 A-M Jets tied 2-2 with Guildford. The new team has had a hard time picking up points this season and they deserve full marks for that one. One nice thing about bad weather is that it lets the coach know which of his boys are men. It was a fair outcome to an excellent contest. Outstanding for the locals were Pete Van Roy (two assists) with Klynsoon, Francis and Clark who tied attack and defense together. Langley Veteran John Tarn- merman officiated and was reported to have handled the coin test very capably. IN BOXING Cloverdale's club is staging their first card of the season. It will be held at the Arenex in Queens Park, New Westminster. Langley manager Walt Austin has managed to make certain that Langley wilL be represented. SPORTS by Dennis Ross, Sports Editor Phone 5344068 LANGLEY REP RESULTS Div. 7 LSC had their league championship hope booted about a bit on Saturday in the showdown go with Blue Mountain Rovers. Playing excellent offensive ball, going south against wind and hill at City Park the home side dominated very strongly, making a whole series of opportunities and then blowing them. The first tally, a looping cob-web breaker was almost an anti-climax. Rovers equalized before half time and the final twenty4ive minutes were hot and heavy. What tipped the scales was a couple of penalty shots. Langley's did not score. Blue Mountain's did. The issue remained in doubt until the final seconds, but the 2-1 difference stood. Div, 5 Sportsclub deadlocked 1-1 with Port Moody Hotspurs after a hardfought struggle which could have been won by either ball club. Another closie was Legion and GuUdford Tigers in div. 4. No score until nearly the half when Doug Robinson potted one. Shortly after the, breather BiU Guenther crossed two in quick succession, both capitalized by Robinson. The losers have picked up a few exceUent ball players from a Surrey side now defunct. Tigers are now a good team and made it interesting over the whole distance. Div. 3 IOOF came back to a certain amount of form and was able to fight off the icing conditions well enough to be competitive - but alas riot well enough to win. Blue Mountain's second team beat them 241. Several playersarebeingtreat- ed for frostbite. The coach is suffering from shock. LSC div. 6 pulled off a win (rumoured to be 2-1) over Whalley United. Apparently the new management has gotten things under control. Sports Club 7 ran in eight unanswered goals with Riverdale in a Sunday mismatch to pick up a missed match. It was very cold, apologized the coach and the boys had to keep warm somehow. Also in a pickup game but of a far more critical nature, div. 4 Legion vaulted to a three point league lead over Blue Mountain. Langley's first counter was the result of an intricate passing play running from Moore to Macklin to Robinson to Strachan who scored. The second and eventual winner was the result of hustle. Randy Hinman beat three checks and the goalie to sock it home. Final score Legion 2, Blue Mountain 1. And in div. 3 Dick Predig- er's group racked up another high scoring shut-out, mauling Maple Ridge Rangers 541 across the river. LSC Grove Div.2 results United, leading their league by a half-dozen points suffered the embarrassment of a draw Sunday at Blue Mountain. They had problems; no regular goalie and one front line man absent. Coach Robinson reports that Sam Jantzen filled into the net-minder's job and performed like a pro while Soren Larsen romped down the middle and personally sank the Aldergrove marker - set up by Ralph Zillich. Ralph's coach personally commended his performance. Eintracht almost got into trouble. Faced with a 1-1 score well into the second.half and under heavy pressure, they could have lost it. Ray Robinson was the difference. He was the only man who seemed able to spring anyone loose up front. Also, he was cool e- nough under pressure to hit the cords where others had failed for the go-ahead. It ended 4-1 Eintracht. Goals were scored by Makela (3) and Robinson G).

Fest ive I bigger eod better The British Columbia Festival of Sports will continue and may become bigger and better says Dick Colby, deputy minister, department of travel in- dustry. Colby, speaking to the semiannual meeting of the B.C. Sports Federation, said: "As far as the sports festivals are concerned, I can assure you the winter festival is going to take place. I am sure the spring one is and I think they will continue on the way they have done, and may be even better _ I am quoting someone rather higher when I say that." (The second British Columbia festival of winter sports will be staged January 18 to February 5, 1973, and the spring festival will be held May 17 to June 4.) Colby also had a bouquet for the sports governing bodies of the province. He said: "I just wanted you to know that in our job of running the sports festival, we couldn't do it, make a success out of it, without the co-operation of the people in the sports federation in your respective positions of representing your sports governing bodies." The second British Columbia festival of winter sports wiU bring together close to 25,000 participants to compete in 120 events in 53 centres. There are 37 individual sports in the winter festival.

He said Langley should welcome the ruling. Candidate Charlie Haid had a few things to say in his speech, although he was not asked any questions during the interrogation period. Charlie said he has been active in many different service groups in the district for many years. He first ran for office in 1954andsaidhewished there was more representation from the east end of the district. Haid said he would like to see the city and the district merge into one corporation adding that this could well happen in the near future. Further the candidate argued that without proper representation in the east end, the district would suffer. He expressed that at present there is too much representation on the western edge of the district, and attempted to expose a need for balance. In a telephone interview on Friday, Charlie told The Star that although he wants more representation in the east, he is not in favor of a ward system. He said there is no way that the ward system can serve everyone equally. If one goes by area then some candidates would represent more than others in population. If the wards were broken down by population, it would then mean that the wards would have to be revised constantly as the population grows. With regard to culture in the area he said that the mumcipality needs a good auditorium, with a decent stage. He suggested council has too much money for their arena as is, and maybe the present $400,000 referendum money could be put toward more cultural development. Bob Hubbard has appeared in advertising along with BiU v Blair and Walter Jensen - both incumbents. He was asked, along with Blair and Jensen to explain whether this constitutes a slate. All three hopefuls stood up to make it clear that they are not a partisan group, and would not vote as such if elected to council. In Hubbard's platform there was a lot to suggest that he would make a very strong opponent of council's zoning bylaw if elected. Hubbard states that ecological sympathies should not be the guiding light behind a zoning plan. He says economics is also a major factor. He feels that industry must be provided for in Langley, and cites that the district has already lost a number of desirable 'clean' industries because of inadequate zoning provisions. Incumbent alderman Walt Jensen told the meeting that Langley has now grown to a size where it is necessary to begin consideration of sewer and water systems in many far reaching areas where it has never been considered before. He pointed out that Aldergrove, is at this time, the only area with a sewer and water system, and said it is now required for the Brookswood and Fort Langley areas as well. Jensen, who. is also council's Library Board representative, told the people in attendance that the Fraser Valley Library was one of the first in western Canada and indicated that in his mind it was a very good system. In questioning, Jensen made it clear that council could not be blamed for granting permission to the railway to place a spur line through the north west corner of the district. "Don't blame us for granting that," he said, pointing out in the next breath that if coun cil did not approve it, the attorney general's department would. Dan Kitsul who is running independent on a platform of better recreational facilities and more co-operation on council, was next to take the floor. He said that in his mind the present council is doing a good job, but said there are areas due for improvement. He noted a need for covered swimming pools and the upgrading of municipal roads. His major two issues however, were tax restructure and tender calling for road construction. Kitsul feels that if private contractors were called upon to buUd roads, leaving the municipal crews strictly for repair work, it would save the district money and make for better highway service. He says that municipal equipment and the size of the work force are not suitable for road building, but are designed more for repair operations. Questioned on tax restructure, Kitsul stated he would not like to see taxes placed on the farmer, but added that he does not feel industry is the biggest culprit. He did not commit himself to any cross section of the public. Hailing from the Willoughby area, railway employee Harry Irving claims to have worked on the federal pension plan (a coast to coast venture), and also points out his work combating drug addiction. In Ir- ving's mind growth has snarled traffic in Langley. He feels there is a need for a network of flashing red lights at major pedestrian crossings, and on railway crossings. He also has the dubious distinction of having worked on the arena referendum, although he now states that even though he wiU vote for the new referendum, he hopes the general public wiU be guided by their own feelings. He promised to work with existing couneUmen if elected, and ended his speech by assuring all that he did not believe in slates, rather he felt representation came from individuals. In the questioning, Irving was asked what he proposed to do about drug addiction on a council level. His reply was that he would like to see a system of education introduced. He said the drug problem is a symptom of something else such as a desire to escape from a bad problem. He said there will always be escapees and cited that if anti-drug education is started at an early age, it will help to solve the problem as it is now. This is the candidates and their platforms. All in all this- has been an election that was without any gut issues. It wa.? not that the is sues were not there, rather they were not exploited in the individual campaigns. It would not be easy to ms.'te predictions of the outcome but we only have to wait until Saturday to find out anyway. Re. MULTI-PURPOSE ARENA To: THE CITIZENS OF LANGLEY From: THE ARENA COMMITTEE The road to accomplishing our goal of building an Arena which will serve the needs of the Community, has not been an easy one. We are just as disappointed as everyone else over the delays, escalating costs and other frustrations which have placed us in the position where we have to ask for more money to complete the project. VICTIM OF TWO- CAR MISHAP DIES Rugibald Gordon Thompson of Langley died last week as the result of a motor velv.cle accident on hospital hill in MurrayvUle.

M:.-Mrs.-Miss-Ms.- Apt^-Rm Street (O^P)! .50 Town u J The history is as follows: of this project 1969 and 1970 Discussions were held regarding an Ice Arena and an Advisory Committee was appointed to make recommendations to Council. (This committee was, later, disbanded). May, 1971 The Township and CityCoun- cils appointed a Committee of 6 Aldermen (3 from eachCoun- cil) to make a study and report. This committee held numerous meetings during which all aspects of the proposed Arena were discussed. We visited 7 Arenas (1 in Seattle) to gain all the information possible; recommended the appointment of the Architects, after interviewing 4 firms; worked with the Architects in the preparation of the drawings and the estimates prior to the Public Meetings in November and the Vote in December, 1971. 1972 In January, 1972, the Architects insisted on complete soils tests and analysis of the proposed site (Agricultural Fair Grounds) and recommended against this site. Other sites were investigated and the present site on 42nd and 208th was chosen. Tenders were called and were opened on September 18, 1972, with the lowest tender $308,000.00 higher than the original estimate at the time of the Vote in December, 1971. Further discussions have been held and some modifications made to reduce costs. With the result that a contract has been awarded for a "bare bones" Arena in the amount of $1,152,936.00. We feel the citizens of Langley would want, and they are entitled to, a "completed Arena." Our estimate on the Completed Arena with all necessary equipment and facilities installed, including: Full Regulation Size Skating Rink, Seating for 1,600 spectators, Curling Rink with 4 curling sheets, Community Centre to seat 400 people, Kitchen, Snack Bar, Skate Shop, Offices, Curling Lounge, Viewing Areas, Dressing Rooms, etc. with furniture included, is $ 1,705,115.00. This is a lot of money - but we are getting a complete complex. Not just a Skating Rink. In order to finance this com. pleted project, we shall require an additional $445,115.00. ($340,958.00 from the Township), ($104,157.00 from the City). When we take the amount of debt to be created by the first By-Law in Dec ember, 1971 and this new By-Law, it amounts to: Township - $142,499.00 per year, City w $43,178.00 per year. The first annual repayment of this debt will occur in 1974. We have been assured that it will not cost any more than 2V4 miUs in 1974, at will be less in future years). When the By-Law Vote was taken in December, 1971, we stated that we estimated it would cost 2 mills in the first year of debt repayment. What we are asking for — is an additional J/4 mill. Ii you approve the Money By-Laws in both the City and the Township - we can finish the job. OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK FROM 9 a.m. TO 6 p.m. LIVING CHRISTMAS TREES, 3 - 9 ft.

Decline in farm income forecast for 1973 Canadian farmers, riding the crest of high produce returns this year, can expect a decline of up to five per cent in their realized net income next year, W.L. Porteous, director of the agriculture division, Statistics Canada, has predicted. Porteous told the annual federal-provincial outlook conference in Ottawa that Canadian DON'T DO IT! Cutting your own Christmas tree could be very costly — particularly if it is removed from Crown land or if it is a balsam fir. "Illegal removal of trees of any species from Crown land is an offence punishable by fine up to $500", reports W.C. Phillips, chief protection officer of the British Columbia Forest Service. Equally serious is the transportation of balsam fir trees or boughs from one area to another in the province. This ban was imposed in 1966 and is still in effect throughout the year. * Purpose of the restriction is to check the spread of the balsam woolly aphid, a destructive insect which kills many balsam trees each year and threatens extensive stands in the province. Phillips states that since the ban was imposed, there has been no serious spreading of the pest beyond the originally infested areas in the southeast portion of Vancouver Island and in the mainland extending from Howe Sound to Harrison Lake. The restriction applies to nurseries and florists as well as individuals, and anyone ignoring it runs the risk of having his stock confiscated and possible court action, the spokesman said. Finally, Phillips repeated a recently announced warning regarding the movement of all species of pine trees or boughs from the Vancouver forest district to other parts of the province. Details of these revised provincial regulations arecontain- ed in the "European PineShoot Moth Regulation 0972)" and may be obtained from the B.C. department of agriculture or the protection division of the B.C. Forest Service in Victoria. fanners are expected to have a realized net income of a record $2,000,000,000 this year, up about $600,000,000 from last year. Then he said: "Present indications for farm income in 1973 are that farm cash receipts will remain close to their 1972 level. Further increases are expected to, continue their upward trend in 1973. The net result of these' expected-movements would be a realized net income of $1,900,000,000, a decrease of 4.4 per cent." The quick about face prediction is based, in part, on the world wheat situation where Russia plays a major role. Porteous said Russia imported large amounts of wheat this year - sharply reduced Canadian inventories bear testimony to the purchases — but past performance suggests she will bolster her own production next year. Porteous drew a parallel between the 1972-73 wheat expectations and the 1965-66 crop year experience. In 1965-66, world trade increased sharply and stocks in major countries dropped dramatically which is similar to the current situation. "Unfortunately for Canadian wheat producers, this was largely a one-year phenomenon. After this spurt, world trade in wheat declined and stocks built up to record levels." He cautioned agriculturalists therefore, that it would be "prudent" to expect a decline in world grain trade in 1973-74 and some build-up of inventories along with a decline in wheat prices. He added, however, there were no immediate indications that the "adjustments" would return Canadian farmers to the mid- 1960s dilemmaof expanding surpluses and shrinking markets. Porteous, described 1972 livestock prices as favorable despite the increase in world cattle numbers and record bog totals. Countries with surpluses are finding new markets in importing nations. Although livestock prices may decline somewhat in 1973, he said there . is no major downward shift insight. On more general matters, Porteous told the conference that the number of forms in Canada declined 15 per cent in the last five years and the total now stands at 366,128. Farms, on the other hand, increased in size to an average of 463.4 acres from 404.5. The prairies showed the largest change: Manitoba to 543.4 from 480.1 acres, Saskatchewan: to 845.2 from 763.4 acres and Alberta to 789.5 from 705.7 acres. ' During the same five-year review period, farm population dropped 24 per cent to 1,489,565 from 1,960,365. Fewer than seven per cent of Canadians now live on farms. The largest decline was in New Brunswick where the farm population dropped 47 per cent to 24,453. About 11 per cent of all formers no longer live on the form. However, 92 per cent of die farms in Canada are operated by private individuals and two per cent by corporations. The remainder are administered by partnerships or other type of organization. Porteous also said that a July survey conducted by the department indicated that about 40 per cent of all form operators in Canada reported some wage and salary earnings in 1971. The percentage ranged from 30 per cent in Manitoba to more than 50 per cent in British Columbia.

Phone: 879- 75a - t NOVEMBER-DECEMBER, 1972 Recommendetioas on agriculturo aod tho environment Agriculture as an industry is caught between the impact of man on the environment and the Impact of the environment on man. Problems arising at the interface of these two impacts are sensitive andchal- lenging. Their solution will require the attention and effort of all segments of society, including agriculture. This was the conclusion of the Ontario Institute of Agrologists in their presentation to the Policy Committee for Resources Development of the Ontario Cabinet on October 19. The institute is made up of some 1,200 professional workers in all facets of Ontario agriculture. Institute president John J. Ghetti of Queenston noted that the brief strongly recommended establishment of a policy to designate certain land areas in Ontario for agricultural production only. Selection of this land would require an accurate interpretation of the land inventory. The interpretation must take into account, not only the physical characteristics of land, but also its location with respect to both climate and markets. It was also urged that agriculturists with appropriate experience and background be involved in the development of land use poll-. cies. Recognizing that agriculture AVENUE FARM MACHINERY w 1 M.F.

Phone 859-5235 can contribute to deterioration of the environment, the institute emphasized that the trend to intensive and specialized farming has generally had beneficial effects on environmental quality. However, there have been some related problems such as erosion, disposal of animal wastes and the extensive use of pesticides. On pest control, it wants research intensified on integrating cultural, biological and chemical pest control systems. It urges that agriculturists be involved in developing and applying legislation on pesticides; and mat emphasis be given to educational and training programs for users of pesticides. Regarding animal wastes, the institute recommended that recycling of such wastes be recognized as a practical and acceptable means of their disposal. It felt that the use of guidelines on land area needed for livestock waste disposal, such as is outlined in the "Suggested Code of Practice" should be encouraged. At the same time, research on livestock waste management must be intensified as a means of improving these guidelines. Further, parallel guidelines should be established to regulate encroachment in agricultural areas by non-agricultural users of land. Also, it recommends that, like other industry, agriculture be given financial assistance for installing animal easte disposal systems and pollution abatement controls. Thirdly, the institute noted that as agriculture interfaces ever more closely with other segments of society, environmental changes such as pollution from the urban and industrial segmeris, causes increasing concern. To meet this situation, the institute recommended research to determine the extent to and manner in which such urban and industrial wastes can be used in agriculture in ways compatible with a viable agriculture. Cost leadership in nutrition continuous research management skills growing animal health service benefit analysis should be used to determine how responsibilities for such activities should be fairly shared. The institute also urged the government to provide funds for necessary research on the extent and effect of urban and industrial pollution on agricultural production. Ghetti noted that these recom mendations are based on studies and discussions conducted over the past year by the ten branches of the institute as well as the special session at the institute's last annual meeting. All this was drawn together by a committee headed by C.F. MacGregor of Brighton. PACIFIC WATER WELLS (1969) LTD.

All representatives felt that if government wished to continue to have an active and meaningful role, statistical and market information data must be meaningful, accurate and timely. It was pointed out that statistical data was presently very inaccurate and frequently outdated by the time it was published. Current market information on cattle prices and movements collected by CJ).A. was on limited number sand apart from terminal market prices was not distributed rapidly enoughtobe of value to the industry. It is anticipated that Project 75 will further explore these areas with the intent of coordinating the various departments and divisions concerned to bring a- bout improvements.

Operational trail of aerial fertilizing was conducted by MacMillan Bloedel, 60 tons of fertilizer covering over 270 acres. Bucket under helicopter contains 3,400 pounds of fertilizer. Rotating spreader on bucket, driven by adapted auto engine controlled by helicopter pilot, hurls fertilizer over forest. Earlier MB experiments indicate fertilizing can increase forest growth by up to 30 percent over five years. Tree farming enters jet age experimental plots with fertilizer, applied from the ground. Computers were used to analyze the data gathered from these experiments and the results encouraged the company to expand their research into operational trials. Foresters have stepped into the jet age, employing a jet- propelled helicopter for aerial . fertilization of the British Columbia forest. In a recent operational trial, MacMillan Bloedel used one to spread 60 tons of fertilizer over 270 acres of forest, providing 200 pounds of nitrogen to the acre. The operation was carried out at MB's Chemanius logging division on Vancouver Island. The demands being made on the renewable forest resource by today's sophisticated society are putting increased pressure on the forest industry to produce more wood and fibrefrom the land it manages. The forester has responded with a number of promising techniques. With "intensive forestry" practices MB foresters already are producing up to 40 percent more wood per acre than nature can grow unaided. Now, aerial fertilization holds the prospect of increasing the growth rate of the forest by Potato, citrus diseases similar The smallest known plant disease agent may infect both potato and citrus plants. A comparison of research notes between the Agriculture Canada research station at Fredericton, N.B., and the University of California at Riverside suggests the same meta- virus may be at work in both types of agricultural crops. Metavirus is the name given to a newly discovered disease agent which is about 100 times smaller than a virus. up to 30 percent over a five year period. Urea forest grade fertilizer was used in the Chemanius trial. A heliport was cleared on a bank above the Chemanius River and the fertilizer was transported to the site and dumped on a plastic sheet. A front end loader filled a large bucket suspended under the helicopter which made 35 drops over the selected acreage. Designed for the purpose at a cost of $2,000, the bucket contained a rotating spreader which was driven by an adapted auto engine. The helicopter pilot controlled the engine and spreader from the aircraft. Sweeping over the forest with a payload of 3,400 pounds of fertilizer, the helicopter on each run fertilized a forest strip 100 feet wide and half a mile long. The 270-acre drop area hadbeen marked with bright orange flagging tape on tree branches. The area fertilized contained a forest six to 15 years of age, some trees having been planted by foresters and others being natural growth. "This was not an experiment", explained Bill Schuckel, Chemanius division forestry supervisor. "There have been enough aerial fertilizing experiments to justify its use. This was an operational trial where we assessed the logistics of using a helicopter, including the costs and techniques for handling large quantities of fertilizer." MB foresters began experiments in fertilization in 1954. By 1968 they had treated 800 In 1968 a test of fertilizing with fixed wing aircraft was carried out in MB's Northwest Bay, Kelsey Bay and Copper Canyon logging divisions, all on Vancouver Island, the volume of fertilizer varying from 100 to 200 to 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Adjacent forests, containing trees of the same age as those fertilized, provide a yardstick to measure the results. These earlier tests provided 1 the evidence that growth rates can be increased by up to 30 percent over afiveyearperiod. MB "foresters, in cooperation with Canadian Forestry Service, will be analyzing the results at intervals of five years up to 1983. The ecological aspects of forest fertilization are favourable, foresters have found. Appraisals of other fertilization projects indicate that fish habitat has not been disturbed. In fact, in some cases observed by foresters the fertilizer improved water conditions for fish by stimulating the growth of food. If large scale fertilizing of the forests proves to be economically feasible as MB for- - esters expect, it could conceivably increase annual growth by millions of board feet, increase the annual wood crop, and reduce the crop rotation period.

SHORTHORN BREEDERS Fall meeting an improvement by Lorna Esouloff The annual meeting of the B.C. Shorthorn Association was held at Williams Lake on November 4 at the Poplar Glade School. A directors meeting was called for 10:00 a.m. with the annual meeting starting at 1 p.m. This was a very productive meeting with excellent attendance from all parts of the province. Interest and enthusiasm was strong as the 1973 program EGG PRODUCTION CONCENTRATED IN VALLEY Agriculture Minister Dave Stupich recently released the report of a survey, team appointed last May to look into problems affecting the commercial egg industry in British Columbia. Team members were Okanagan fruit grower A.R. Gar- rish and Victoria barristers R.B. Hutchison and E.JJ). Achtem. The team's findings, the minister indicated, point to the fact that the concentration of commercial egg production in the lower mainland area makes it very difficult to develop this industry on a Province-wide basis in keeping with government policy. Associated with this concentration in the lower mainland has been the rapid build-up of marketing quotas in the hands of producers in that area and a consequent rise in quota values. This in turn, saidStupich, has compounded the problems and made it very difficult to maintain the industry's relative position in outlying parts of the province. The minister advised that consultation with the marketing board is now underway with a view to overcoming such problems in a manner consistent with the principle of equitable treatment for all concerned with this important sector of British Columbia's agricultural economy. was planned. All reports indicate that an annual fall meeting was an improvement over holding it in March. As it is now, it gives us a full day to go over the association's business. Plans are to have a general meeting at the time of the Kamloops Bull Sale. President Brian Wiley gave an encouraging report; though he had been unable to attend the P.N.E. he had heard many favorable comments about the Shorthorn Show. The interest is definitely on the upswing for Shorthorns as indicated by the demand for breeding stock and 4-H projects. Wiley also felt that the promotion of Shorthorns must be increased to keep the public informed of the progress of the breed. In my capacity as B.C.Shorts horn secretary I reported that the new B.C. Shorthorn directory is in its final stages and will be ready for distribution shortly. Reports were heard from each committee head and dis- . trict club.

Higher prices for feed groins The overall agricultural outlook for the coming year calls for generally higher prices for wheat, feed grains and oilseeds, and general stability for other commodities. This is the central point from outlook papers prepared by economists of the Outlook Section of the Agriculture Canada Economics Branch. The outlook papers, which cover all the major Canadian agricultural commodities, were prepared as background for the 33rd annual Canadian Agricultural Outlook Conference which will take place November 20 and 21 in Ottawa. The following is a very brief summary of the main points covered in the outlook papers. WHEAT The outlook for wheat is the best in years. A high level of export sales is assured to Canada, with strong forward sales already made. Canadian prices have risen in keeping with world price rises in August and September, and they will likely con- tinue at levels well above those of recent years. FEED GRAINS The international feedgrains market has strengthened significantly in line with the unusual demand that has developed for grain. Canada will likely maintain a high level of barley exports, although lower 1972 production with normal carry-over supplies will necessarily result in lower export movement. Prices will likely remain at higher levels than last year in keeping with the overall strength of the world market. Oat exports in 1971-72 decreased by about three million bushels to 10.5 million. There will not likely be increased exports in 1973-74. However, prices will likely remain higher than last year. Grain corn supplies will probably be appreciably lower than last year. A slightly higher rye acreage next year should stabilize supply and disposition. Rye prices increased in August and will likely remain higher than last year.

I n t h e interval, I wrote a part 1 on known pollution, and a part 2 on unknown contaminants, and neither one seemed complete, - and to tell the truth, it proved a discouraging task because you can tell people the tragedy of pollution, and the horror of pesticides, and yet, what can they do? There is no doubt that the bugs are getting more and more immune to chemical warfare. You can spray what you like on aphids, white flys, mealybugs, mites, mites, mites of all kinds and descriptions, and the plants still droop and fade and die from these critters. Recently, some of the greenhouse growers admitted they might have to return to DD's or go out of business.

Yale British Columbia the job of killing these increasing hordes of tiny, microscopic pests. • While still under trial tests, but carried out sufficiently to see the new vigor and colorful vitality showing up in the treated plants, are the systemics. The systemic method of insect control has been under development for many years. This method is being used by commercial growers, greenhouse operators, and nurserymen, on ornamentals. It should not be used on food plants. The powder sprinkled on the surface of the root-soil area, is watered down to the roots, where it is absorbed into the plant system sap and transported to the leaves, etc. This makes the plant immune for a period of about 6 weeks to all sucking insects. The one used here claims no ill effects to ladybugs or bees. We would not use it if it did not protect the bees for it is on these insects that we depend for seeds. So, if you purchase a systemic be certain this is expressed on the label. . * At Action Gardens, we save a lot of time and labor by incorporating a systematic with our plant feeding material, the special Action Fortified Humus in powder form mixes well and co-operates with the systemic as a buffer, and the plants have never looked better, in particular the shiny leaf surfaces. But, my particular joy to use is the one mixed in just the right proportion as a foliant spray. This Action Garden Product does so many things, and does them all just right - it feeds - it kills bugs - it acts as a wetting agent - it washes the leaves with just the mildest type of emulsifying soap containing coconut oil- so could I ask for more. Being me, I do and now I am counting the buds to check on whether there will be faster more bountiful blooms. One thing I do know, the blooms will be a rich, glowing color like one never sees otherwise. More exciting than the systemics for house plants and ornamentals are the new breakthroughs on a safe, mm-pol- lutant substitute for DDT, which has been under development by researchers in England, and are being tested currently in Australia. This new material, after seven years of' research, is effective against the potato moth and the pine sawfly, and is claimed to be one of the most powerful and non-polluting techniques of pest control ever developed. There is no danger of soil build-up or danger to, human health, since the method devised is only able to attack ah insect. It takes about six days to a month for it to kill the insect, and is used as a spray. The first application kills 75 per cent of the insects, and after a week or ten days, the second spraying gets the surviving 25 percent. Details of this exciting new method have been reported to a technical committee of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment. I feel like hurrying them all up a bit, thinking how comforting it would be to drink milk without wondering how much DDT my fat was absorbing, forever and a day. NEW GRADE STANDARDS DISCUSSED Large numbers of meetings of producers, market agents and packers have been held and will be held this winter to discuss the way the new Beef Grading Standards will operate and the implications they seem to have for producers. In Saskatchewan the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association has taken the initiative in organizing a number of meetings. They are being assisted by the Department of Agriculture" and the University of Saskatoon. In Alberta, the Extension Branch of the Department Leryago- tracheitis prevailing in Volley Infectious laryngo-tracheitis continues to occur in the Fraser Valley poultry industry. The situation has not improved as it would have if the control measures recommended by the B.C. department of agriculture had been followed by all producers, reports poultry veterinarian W.C. Newby. No serious outbreaks have occurred on premises vaccinated as recommended, he says. The governmentveterinarian recommends the following measures to combat the disease. Vaccinate around 6-8 weeks. This is the most vital vaccination of all, he says. For continued resistance re- vaccinate around 20 weeks. Replacement pullet purchasers - insist upon vaccinated birds certified by B.C. department of agriculture. Maintain sanitation and isolation vigilance to the utmost. And finally, keep unauthorized personnel put of the poultry house. "Remember, I.L.T. control and eradication is only possible if all poultrymen co-operate in vaccinating as recommended, and use common sense procedures as outlined above, otherwise we will continue to experience out>- breaks and resultant economic losses," Newby says. of Agriculture is organizing a number of meetings. The Canadian Cattlemen's Association has prepared a set of slides which follows a number of animals through from live appraisal to carcass grading and which is available to meeting organizers, extension personnel etc. Membranes Cell membranes may hold clues for a satisfactory insecticide replacement for DDT. A scientist at the Agriculture Canada London, Ont., research institute is using what information is available to search for highly specific insecticides without side effects. Supply management In the roller-coaster world of the poultry industry, bust, not boom, has been the norm in recent years. However, there is a new trend towards national supply management, and away from the former emphasis on aid programs for periods of low prices, points out AJ). Davey, director of Agriculture Cat*- ada's poultry division. "This will be an essential factor in smoothing out the ups-and-downs and bringing stability to the industry," he The chicken and egg war was a major factor in impressing the poultry industry with the need for a national supply management program, he points out.

Department of Agriculture have been asked many times by producers of cattle to re-examine the methods they might approve for administering selenium compoi>- ents for prevention of White Muscle Disease (WMD) in calves. Historically, the original method of injecting the cows at least two months prior to calving with selenium containing biologic als has been the most widely and successfully used treatment in B.C. "To be practical we must recognize that other legal and possibly effective methods exist," says Livestock Commissioner A. Pelter. Federal statutes do not allow feed companies to add selenium compounds to their feed mixtures. Individual farmers have such an option though, and may in fact purchase sodium selenite from drugstores for this purpose. This would undoubtedly be the cheapest method of administration of selenium, but the product is poisonous and risky to use except by a few of the most careful. It is therefore not recommended by B.C. Department of Agriculture. Prescription of special feed supplements containing selenium seems to be the answer. These feed supplements may be obtained from veterinarians or companies on the basis of a prescription. There is at Fire damage down Forest fire losses in Canada to the end of September 1972 totalled less than a third of the acreage recorded in the 1971 season, the Canadian Forestry Service, reports. With a total across Canada of 7,835 forest fires compared with 8,807 for the same period of 1971, losses covered only 1,272,000 acres as compared with 3,918,000 acres in 1971. The total number of fires for the month of September was 379, affecting 9,000 acres. In September 1971, 866 fires damaged 69,000 acres. For the past 10 years, the average number of fires in Canadian forests for each season was 7.395 over 1,919,000 acres, while the 10-year average for the month of September is 491 fires over 40,000 acres. The statistics are compiled monthly by the Fire Research Institute of the Canadian Forestry Service. least one veterinary company at Abbotsford known to offer such services. Cattle breeders having WMD problems would be wise to consult their regular veterinarian for direction to such services. Ornamentals poisonous Residents of British Columbia, especially in the lower Fraser Valley, are to be eiw vied for the large number of beautiful shrubs, trees and flowers they can grow here in such abundance. The continued growth of these plants should be encouraged, both for the aesthetic effect and the resulting good they can do for the ecology. However, it should be remembered that many of these plants are poisonous to animals if eaten and, indeed, some are poisonous to children. Many others are toxic under certain circumstances, such as wilting, sunburn, chemical composition of the soil; and moisture conditions. A list of poisonous shrubs and flowers would include - boxwood, caster bean, clematis, cherry, peach, plum, hydrangea, golden rod, horse chestnut, oleander, cypress, a- zalea, rhododendron, brackens, larkspur, green and old rotten or sproutingpotatoes.yews, laurels, and trollius. This list is by no means complete but it does illustrate the magnitude of plants which, given the right conditions, can be toxic to animals. To list all of them, give their symptoms, and first aid treatment, would require a very large book. When the annual fall cleanup is being carried out at this time of year, one should think twice before disposing of leaves, weeds, and prunings by feeding them to livestock. It would be much safer to dispose of these by other means. One should also look tofence repair to prevent livestock from accidentally gaining access to the home garden. Also, consider the growth of plants which, when planted, were far enough away from the fence to prevent livestock reaching them. The resulting growth and overgrowth through the years may now require that the fence be moved back or heavy pruning be carried out. Remember, shrubs and flowers are for humans to look at - not for livestock to eat! MATSQUI Needs Experience More Than Any Other Time in It's History ON.

No - it's the old cattle rustler. Only this time he has traded his horse and branding iron for a cattle truck or a helicopter. From Virginia to California, cattle rustling has never been such big business. And rustling is not limited to cattle either. Iowa and Illinois, the two major hog- producing states, report increasing instances of swine rustling. While range cattle may carry an identifying brand, "it's hard to tell by the curl of a pig's tail where he came from," swine producers admit. As far as cattle rustllnggoes, the biggest deterrent is branding, most cattlemen agree. The trouble is that few states require mandatory branding. Only a dozen or so of the Western states have brand-inspection laws and inspectors that check cattle sold at auction houses or terminal markets. Still, sales to smaller slaughterhouses and sales between livestock operators are seldom scrutinized. There is nothing to keep a rustler from selling cattle in a non-inspection state, either. Penalties vary Penalties against rustling vary from state to state while sentences usually run from one to ten years in most Western states, more often than not the cattle thief, is off with a suspended sentence. Texas, through the 95-year^ old Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, has developed the most sophisticated documentation and microfilm system in the country to recover lost and stolen cattle. Market inspectors daily feed information into headquarters in Fort Worth on the vital statistics - brand, horns, ear markings, color, weight, sex - of animals sold at the 185 auction markets and terminal stockyards in the state. Special coding equipment can scan and search the material at a rate of 1,400 branding documents in 10 seconds if any suspicious animal turns up. As a result of this ready information and the dedicated work of 120 brand inspectors, Texas reported recovering more than 8,000 lost or stolen cattle last year at an estimated value of nearly $1.4 million. Since last December, 127 investigations by Texas inspectors have led to arrest. During 1971, officials took391 cases to court in Western states with brand-inspection laws resulting in 222 convictions. States study action Many other states now, like Iowa and Wisconsin, are considering brand-inspection legislation because of the growing problem with livestock rustling. But while many livestock raisers look to branding as the solution, some argue it is cheaper to absorb the loss than to go to the expense of branding, setting up record files, and hiring inspection teams. "Having some sort of positive identification on animals may slow down the illegal movement of livestock, but it won't eliminate it," says Dr. Paul B. Doby of the Illinois Agriculture Department. "Automobiles are clearly market - yet stolen every day." Here are some recent cases: WeU planned theft - On a dark, stormy night earlier this month, thieves backed a truck up to a barn of a feedlot operator in Wat- **ji---j*-'*^»; * Statu*: KEEP THAT SILO COVERED A new method of storing silage is beginning to catch on among Atlantic region farm* ers and it's spreading to the west. If s a sealed wedge in a horizontal silo, and if the idea isn't entirely new, the management innovations which make it a success are. The idea came from Europe and the method, involving the use of plastic sheeting, has proved satisfactory in the Atlantic provinces. Man aod Rosourcos Workshop Helicopters similar to this one are a tool of modern-day rustlers ertown, Wis., and made off with 57 Holstein heifers in a matter of 20 minutes. By the time the farmer was alerted to the $10,000 loss by barking dogs there was no time to give chase. Rain had obliterated all tracks. "It was pretty well planned," says William Zellmer, supervisory investigator for theU.S. Department of Agriculture in Wisconsin. "There are roughly 35 licensed auction markets and a number of slaughtering plants in the state." Rustlers could drive to any one of these or into neighboring states and sell the calves the next morning. There's almost no way of tracing and recovering the animals. - An enterprising 21-year-old rustler "working" the range of the Texas panhandle, made off with 138 head of beef worth $25,000 in a 60-day period early this year. Finally, he slipped, left some tire tracks behind, and one of Texas' crack brand inspectors (commissioned as special rangers) tracked him down to his ranch near Atoka, Okla. - Taking to the air, rustlers in Idaho were shooting cattle from planes, swooping down and slaughtering them on the spit, carrying off only the hind quarters. Theseprime cuts of beef were appearing on the Losa Angeles market as t-bones, sirloins, and prime ribs within 24 hours. - A particular problem is the growing number of "Sunday rustlers," who are out to beat rising meat prices. They may shoot a single calf, slaughter it, and take the steaks home to fill the family freezer. One-third recovered? The American National Cattlemen's Association (ANCA) in Denver reports that 8,919 head of cattle worth $1.6 million were stolen in 1971 in 13 Western states and two Canadian provinces where brand- inspection laws make it possible to make some accurate count. One-third of these rustled cattle were reported recovered. However, figures are likely to be two or three times as high in the West because at least four brand-inspection states, including Texas, the largest cattle producing state with nearly 13 million head, make no attempt to determine the number missing or the cause. "We wouldn't hazard aguess how many are stolen. In many cases we have nothing to work on except the rancher's word. Often cattle will be reported stolen and after we begin an investigation the missing animals will turn up dead or in a neighbor's pasture," says Donald C. King, general manager for the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. "Sometimes we'll recover cattle that the owner didn't even know were gone." Cattle rustling, as cattlemen and feedlot operators see it, is directly proportional to the price of beef on the open market. And meat prices are high now, as any housewife will testify. With more than 112 million head of cattle in this country, double what it was 30 years ago, incidents of rustling have never been as high - certainly not in the rootin'-tootin', gun- Tell-tale Plants Indicator plants play an important role in science's battle against hidden plant viruses which affect growth vigor of crops and cut into farmers' profits. They can detect hidden viruses or sort out identities from a mixture of viruses. An indicator plant specific for an individual virus will develop clear-cut symptoms after juice from an infected plant is rubbed on or injected into it.

The cattle — Murray Grey- sand Australian Shorthorns — arrived at Edmonton International Airport August 2. Since then, they have been housed at the Agriculture Canada Quarantine Station about half a mile from the airport. toting days of the wild West. "It's a lot easier to rustle cattle than it was in the old cattle-drive days," says Burton Eller, secretary of ANCA. "A truck can carry a lot of value, long distances, ina short time, and find a ready market." Cattle thieves have the added incentive that they can easily find full value for the animals they take to an auction market, unlike most stolen goods where the thief has to settle for a fraction of the value.' Long-range planning to preserve our farmland, and the maintenance of a balance between agriculture and the surrounding environment are items of top concern to agriculturalists. But they are also vital to every citizen concerned with man's use and abuse of his surroundings. To draw up a citizens' view on what needs to be done to protect our environment, a workshop, "Man and Resources", was held recently in Montebello, Quebec as a kick- off to a year of discussion.

A Continental Approach A Canadian proposal to form a North American organization for plant protection has met with approval from Mexico and the United States. The idea was advanced by Dr. D.S. MacLachlan, director of Agriculture Canada's plant protection division, at the 20th annual Mexican-Americanplant protection work conference. The organization would provide a united approach in preventing the introduction of new pests and diseases into North America and the spread of those already established in various areas of the continent. North America is one of the few regions left without a continental approach to plant protection. , About safoty of rapeseed oil Federal health and welfare minister John Munro commented recently on press reports raising doubts as to the safety of rape seed oil, a widely used Canadian produced edible product. The minister noted in August 1970, he had indicated that it would be prudent to accelerate Canada's changeover to low erucic acid varieties of rape seed. This recommendation was based on the results of investigations which showed that rats given levels of rape seed oil much in excess of those inCanadian diets, developed fatty Infiltration of the heart. The changeover to low erucic acid rape seed varieties has now largely been completed. Munro emphasized that the decision to change to low erucic acid varieties of rape seedwas soundly based on both medical and technological grounds. No ' harmful effects to humans had been attributed to the consumption of this type of rape seed oil. As part of an on-going program on the assessment of edible oils, investigations on the low erucic acid rape seed oils were continuing. Evidence to date, said Munro, substantiated the wisdom of the original decision to phase-in the use of low erucic acid varieties of rape seed.. He has asked a non-governmental committee of medical experts to meet within the next few weeks, to advise him on the relationship of long chain fatty acids to human health. As part of its assessment, he expected the committee would examine avaUable data on rape seedoil. "I wish to emphasize again, however", said the minister, "that this assessment Is only being carried out in the interest of prudence, as. part of our on-going assessment of foods, and not because of evidence that rape seed oil is harmful to humans." Dick Borden's Conservation Gun by Bill Sweney & David Arnold We pulled over the rocky ridge and slowed the truck to a crawl. "There they are!" whispered Ray Whatley, our sharp-eyed guide. Just beyond the next dip in the rough dirt road was a small band of elusive bighorn sheep, a prize we had driven many miles to get. A four-year-old ram gave us a cold stare from his hilltop perch as I put the gun to my shoulder and aimed carefully. The movement aroused the ram-'s suspicion ... with a magnificent display of coordination, he spun on his hind legs and • bolted up to the ledges above him. 1 swung with him and squeezed the trigger. Instead of a shot, a muted whirring broke the silence. "You got him!" Ray called. And indeed I had ... on color film ... in slow motion ... with a weapon that looks like a rifle but shoots pictures instead of bullets. The patented Camera Gun that bagged the shot is the brainchild of noted wildlife photographer and conservationist Dick Borden. Over the past twenty years, it has been the key to producing scores of successful wildlife films in the interests of public entertainment and wildlife conservation. Ironically enough, although it is dedicated to "bringing them back alive," it owes its success to an idea borrowed from the hunter's rifle. The idea was triggeredtwen- ty-four years ago, when Dick Borden began supplementing his conservation activities with birdlife photography, and running into camera trouble in the process. Going back to the root of the problem, says Borden: "I was trying to get pictures of birds in flight. But when a bird took off, I found that I couldn't keep it in the camera's frame of vision. Customary camera-tripodarrange- ments weren't suitable for following fast-moving subjects, and hand-holding wasnt any good either. I got to thinking that my problem was the same as the hunter's when he's leading a bird through his gun- sights. And that thought put me on the right track. The hunter's gunsight was held on target by a gunstock held snug against the shoulder, permitting the hunter to swing from the waist in an easy, fluid motion that kept the weapon's Dick Borden holds new-generation Camera Gun which achieves ultra-slow-motion effects at a shooting speed of 500 frames per second. nose on target. Why couldn't the same principle work for a camera? "I made some drawings and went to work, whittling a gun- stock out of wood, mounting a camera on it, and devising a shutter-trip mechanism that would work off a finger trigger. Then, like a hunter with his first custom-made rifle, I headed off for the wilds of Alberta for the big test. I stayed there for a solid month, shotting everything that flew, experiencing all of the hunter's thrills of capture minus the kill. When I got back to a photo laboratory and found that the action had taken,' I carried my film to a producer in New York. He liked it, put it into a film called 'WUd Fowl in Slow Motion,' sold lots of copies, and gave me the urge to start producing wUdUfe motion pictures myself." The urge took hold in 1950 under the corporate name of Borden Productions, Inc. the Camera Gun has been contributing fUm for Hollywood and television needs ever since, including the Walt Disney True- Life Adventure Series, Borden's own television series "Wonders of the WUd," several award-winning Hollywood films, and some notable detours into the urban world of fast-action sports. Co-Op members save 'Members of retaU co-operatives in Western Canada appear likely to save some $16,000,000 through purchases at their own co-op stores this year, according to figures released by Federated Co-operatives. This would be almost double savings last year of $8,600,000. The savings would be shared by about 400,000 family members of 450 consumer and farm supply co-operatives in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. "The cash refunds to members by co-operatives as a result of savings of this magnitude will have a tremendous impact on the economy of Western Canada," said R.H. Boyes, president of Federated Co-, operatives. "The money going into the hands of consumers wUl provide additional spending power and wUl benefit aU business enterprises in the communities served by co-op-* eratives." Distribution of goods through the co-op outlets is expected to total $410,000,000, compared to $349,000,000 in 1971. Federated' Co-operatives, which provides wholesaling, manufacturing and other services to retaU co-operatives, estimates that its own savings this year may reach $7,500,000 of which about$6,500,000 would be available for distribution as patronage refunds to retaU associations. This would form part of the $16,000,000 avaUable for allocation to local coop members. Co-operative patronage refunds, at all levels, are based on member purchases. In the first 10 months of the year Federated has a- chieved savings of nearly $6,000,000 on sales of $233,000,000, Boyes said. The sales increase is $42,800,000, ; or 22 percent over last year. Inflation is estimated to have caused seven per cent of the increase, with a real increase in volume of 15 per cent. "On invitation," Borden explains, "we discovered that it was just a step from shooting the flight of birds to shooting the flight of a baseball • and with amazing results. We could follow a hit ball, for example, to the shortstop, catch his throw to first, swing ahead of the ball and steady up on the first baseman to catch the out. We got the first triple play ever caught on one piece of film in this way - tripods can't move that fast." The Camera Gun went on to shoot three major World Series films, plus a 30-film series of sports trainingf Urns that shoot three major World Series films, plus a 30-fUm series of sports trainingf Urns that is entering its 16th year of production. Included in the series are scenes of quarterbacks, linebackers, pitchers, and the fastest woman runner in the world. "I couldn't have gotten her without the and Camera Gun," says Borden. The unit which performed this feat utilizes an 8-pound camera mounted on a stock of machined aluminum. The operator "shoulders" the unit like a rifle, and trips the shutter by squeezing a trigger set in the conventional position on the gunstock. With the gun on target, the operator swings from the waist to keep his quarry in view. Sharp focus is maintained by means of a spring-driven focusing trigger set forward on the gunstock and controlled by the left index finger. This feeds the focus "out" when a bird - or a baU - is moving away from the camera, and feeds the focus "in" when the subject is moving toward the camera, aU at the exact rate of the subject's motion. "We've come a long way since tlat first whittled-out gun- stock," Borden explains. "Today's metal gunstock is pre- cision-tooled, and we use an electric camera that shoots up to 500 frames per second. When the film is projected at normal screening speed (24 frames per second), the result is an ultra- slow-motion effect. This slows down the- wingbeats of birds, the schuss of a skier, or the pop of a pop-fly ball." Among the sophisticated equipment aimed at bringing home the film from the wilds are three additional Borden innovations: an electrically driven "sneak boat" which Borden controls with his feet whUe lying full-length in the bottom, a portable blind which looks like an oversized beehive, and a special camera mount attached to the door of a pickup truck. "Oddly enough," he explains, "many animals that shy from humans do not shy from vehicles, especially trucks. With the door-mount camera, we can shoot easily without distracting our subjects. Sometimes, one of us can shoot out one side with the door-mount camera whUe a second photographer shoots on the other side with the camera gun. "WUdUfe photography demands a good deal of hunting and stalking, too. Our beefy 4-wheel-drive enables us to get off on roads we wouldn't attempt normally - roads that lead to wUdlife. We carry sleeping bags and backpacks, and the pickup has special side cabinets for all camera gear, film, and die portable blind. If shooting requires several days on rough turf, we increase our mobUity hy removing the camper body and leaving it at base camp. We then work from the pickup, selectingfrom its compartments the different equipment as needed." Dick Borden's Ford "Camera-Gun Special" suppUed the needed equipment for six months on the road last year, traveling to Manitoba's prairies, Florida's Everglades, and Wyoming's Grand Teton mountains. "I don't think there would be any other way for us to operate so effectively or economically in the field," says Borden. "WUdlife photography takes maqy days of traveling, hunting, and waiting for each scene that gets used. We've never yet faUed to bag our limit of the action." - Clues "One Stop" SltoffUHf GmUe Telephone: 792-4211 Your ONE STOP Community Supply Centre for feed, housewares, farm supplies, sporting goods, fertilizers and hardware.

It is important to remember that these clostridial organisms can live in the soil for many years and still be capable of causing disease. Blackleg (Clostridium chau- voei) This disease is commonly seen in animals between the ages of six months and two years, but does occue at other ages. This is an acute infectious disease, and its appearance may be heralded by finding a dead animal. More often one will find a lame animal which may appear to have a broken leg. Soon these animals go down and are unable to rise. Death usually follows within twenty-four hours. Careful examination may reveal an area over the affected leg where a crackling, gassy sound will be heard when the hand is rubbed over the area. Post mortem examination will reveal a reddish-black area of muscle which, due to the gas produced by the organism, produces a bubbly appearance; hence the name, "Blackleg". Malignant edema This disease presents similar symptoms to blackleg but it usually the result of a puncture wound; hence there is usually not more than one animal affected. The swollen bubbly area is usually around the puncture wound. Control, treatment A vaccine containing a mixture of Clostridium chauvoei and Clostridium septicum is available. This is one of the better vaccines and gives solid protection if given at about six months of age. Where blackleg has been a problem on a farm, all cattle two years of age and under should be vacci- Pear trellis rust outbreak An outbreak of pear trellis rust in the lower Fraser Valley this fall has resulted in a quarantine on shipments of juniper shrubs and pear trees out of British Columbia. However, the Okanagan Valley, where the disease has not been found, will be exempt from the quarantine regulations. Under the quarantine, B.C. nurserymen wUl be allowed to ship their juniper and pears only to the three prairie provinces and to areas within B.C., with the exception of the Okanagan Valley and a buffer zone around it. Consumer's Co-op Ass'n (co-op) Harris Road, Pitt Meadows, B.C. 465-5651 nated before turning out to pasture. Animals vaccinated under six months of age should be revaccinated after that age. This should give lifelong immunity. Early treatment with large doses of penicillin may save the life of the animal. Often the cure may be worse than the disease as large masses of affected muscle slough out, leaving a wound that takes a long time to heal. In dealing with an outbreak of blackleg the following factors should be kept in mind: (a) Vaccinate all animals that have not been vaccinated previously. Revaccinate after six months of age all animals which are vaccinated under that age. (b) The vaccine will require ten to fourteen days to develop immunity. As the organism is picked up in the feed, change to a different pasture for two weeks. This disease can also occur in stable and feedlot fed animals, and one should then change the feed for two weeks. (c) The organism is spread in large numbers by the blood of an affected animal. Before doing a post mortem move the animal to an area not frequented by cattle and then safely dispose of it, preferably by burning. Remember that the organism can Uve in the soil for up to twenty years. (d) Where blackleg is a problem annual vaccination of young animals is cheap insurance. (e) When sick animals are encountered call your veterinarian. An early diagnosis may save many of your animals. GARY and ERNIE HAILSTONE of VALLEY EQUIPMENT LTD.

Saanich 4-H Club by Marg Speller The Saanich Peninsula 4-H Beef Club has chosen executive for the coming year: President is Robbie Calnan, vice president David Milburn, treasurer Sid Rashbrook, secretary Dana Trimble, and club reporter Marg Speller. The offices all required nomination speeches from all nominees. The following members have also been elected to office: Correspondent Bev Trace, camera Malcolm Dunneth, scrapbook Leslie Croll, social convenor John Speller, and phoning committee Daryl Green, Gordon McLeod, Phylis Delomere, Gail Patterson and Doug Lane. due to differences regarding administration and a lack of choice of development programs best suited to B.C, These details have now been worked out to the satisfaction of both governments and the program will proceed. On signing the agreement, Stupich stated that the aim of the program is to, "help the owners of small farms to help themselves.". The core program consists of a property listing service, program for purchasing farms for resale within short periods of time, grants to vendors, and special credit facilities for purchasers, especially young farmers. The program should be effective as a method of encouraging the consolidation of small farms into larger, more economical units. TheFarmCred- it Corporation will handle the land transfer aspects of the plan, while the B.C. department of agriculture will be responsible for the counselling and advisory services related to farmer participation. Efforts are being made to implement the program inB.C. early in 1973. A joint federal- provincial committee will be established to oversee the ad- ministration and make recommendations for program changes from time to time. Program counsellors, who will provide guidance and assistance to farm operators interested in various aspects of the newpro- gram, will be located in B.C. department of agriculture offices at six key locations throughout the province. Further details regardingthe Small Farms Development pro- gram wUl be released in the near future. B.C. placings at Royal Winter Feir British Columbia farmers won a number of prizes for potatoes and forage seeds at the 1972 Toronto Royal Winter Fair. Pemberton potato growers were awarded ten major prizes in the table stock and seed potato classes.

The grand champion steer, born through artificial insemination, brought $1.50 a pound at the Kamloops fat stock show. It was a 1,271 pound crossbred Semmintal Hereford, owned by Tarn Mitchell, 16, of Barriere 4-H Club, which previously had been judged the 4-H champion of the show. It was purchased by Super Valu. It was the first time a steer produced through artificial insemination had been the top steer. B.C. Charolais Association News The Interior Provincial Fair at Armstrong saw three B.C. breeders exhibit cattle. Birch- field Farms (W. Wolfenden & Sons), Brisco Charolais (Alfred and Hedi Trescher) and Frank Linke of Enderby reported that the interest in Charolais cattle in this area was tremendous. There were especially many enquiries from ranchers interested in Charolais bulls for crossbreeding. Birchfield Farms and Brisco Charolais also travelled to Rock Creek to exhibit their cattle at the local fair and they reported good interest there. Van's Enterprises represented the B.C. Charolais Association attheCloverdaleFair and also at theSaanichtonFair. They report a great interest in their "white cows". Two sisters, Debbie and Willa Merritt of Delta, brought a lot of honours and publicity to Charolais in the Fraser Valley with their 4-H heifer projects. Debbie's heifer won 1st at the Cloverdale Rally Day, 1st at the Abbotsford Fair, 2nd at the Surrey Farm Fair, 1st at the P.N.E. and her heifer went on to win Reserve Grand Champion 4-H Heifer at the P.N.E. Willa's heifer won 1st at Cloverdale, 1st at Abbotsford, 1st at the P.N.E., 1st at the Surrey Farm Fair and went on to win Grand Champion 4-H heifer at the Surrey Farm Fair. Great going girls! Charolais also did well in the North Country reports Mrs. Shelford from Burns Lake. The Grand Champion 4-H Steer at the Burns Lake Fair was a Charolais-cross ' exhibited by Bill Imus. Shelford Bros, of Burns Lake exhibited the Grand Champion Cow at the Prince George Fair, the Vanderhoof Fair and the Smithers Fair. The same cow won Reserve Grand Champion honours at the Burns Lake Fair. Giddings Bros, of Telkwa won first and second placings in the open heifer class with Charolais heifers. Chuck Addison of Burns Lake exhibited the Grand Champion Bull at the Burns Lake Fain He also won 1st, 2nd and 3rd placing in the open class for bull calves. The New Grading System seems to have made a terrific impact on the cattle market. Now that cattle are graded as to the amount of fat they carry, the preference of the packer and the consumer for leaner meat has been clearly demonstrated. As a result, the demand for Charolais-cross calves at the Fall Sales has increased tremendously and we are looking forward to a very good market for breeding bulls next spring. For the first time, the Provincial Bull Sale in Kamloops will accept Charolais bulls. The bulls have to be purebred, at least 18 months old by sale date and will have to pass the culling committee. The Sale will be held on March 13. If you want to consign bulls, write for entry forms to: Provincial Bull Sale, P.O. Box 420, Kamloops, B.C. The Second Annual Spring Bull Sale (all breeds), sponsored by the Kootenay Beef Breeder Association will be held on March 1,1973 in Cranbrook. Another artificially bred steer, exhibited by Peter Berto- lotti of the Lower Thompson B Beef Club, won the reserve 4-H champion. It sold for 75 cents a pound when auctioned toDelta Hotels. The reserve grand champion, a Hereford shown by Gail Garth- waite, was sold to George Jackson, a meat packer, for $1 a pound. A 1,014 pound animal, it previously had been judged open singles champion. Ceasar DeMarini, of the Holmwood Hereford Ranch, Barnhartvale, captured the reserve single champion, with a 994-pound animal. Commodore Cafe, Kamloops, paid 56 cents per pound for the animal at the auction on November 8th. Prices generally were higher, than last year, when the grand champion steer brought 83 cents a pound at the auction. The previous jrec ent high was in 1970 when the grand champion steer brought $2.50 a pound. The price for lamb set a record, soaring to $5.10 a pound for the grand champion when purchased by Joe Abel of Westwold from Pat Reid and Son, of Salmon Arm. The previous high was in 1967 when $2.50 was paid. The reserve champion lamb, shown by Jennefer Bodman of Kamloops, was sold for $3.25 to George Jackson. It was the Commazzetto family all the way in the championship showmanship classes. Harvey Commazzetto of the Kamloops East Beef Club took the award with brother Dar- rell placing second, the judge was Ron Bryant of Rosedale. Annette Devick of Heffley Creek won the junior showmanship award and also won the top award in junior judging held Monday. The intermediate showmanship title went to Darrell Commazzetto. Harvey Commazzetto won the senior beef judging championship and Darrell Commazzetto won the intermediate beef judging award. The 1972 calf scramble was held Tuesday night. Winners of the calves this year were Wendy Threlkeld, Sue Jacobson, Wendy Rose, Scott McLeod, Gary Seabrook, Peter Bertolotti, Chuck Dougherty and Peter Deuling. . Janice Farnsworth of Rural Route No. 3 Kamloops who is a member of the Lower North Thompson A Beef Club won the Fred Nicol trophy for her work on a steer donated at last years calf scramble. Paul Devick of Lower North Thompson A was second. The Royal Bank competition which features the five most uniform steers from one club was won by the Kamloops East Club managed by Caesar Dem- arni. Caesar reactivated the club which had been dormant for six years. B.C. SMALL FRUITS Trial shipments from B.C. to Edmonton and Winnipeg have shown that strawberries and raspberries can be shipped a thousand miles from field to market without losing color, firmness and flavor. Dr.Hugh A. Daubeny of the Canada agriculture research station at Agassiz is conducting research to help the industry retain fruit quality during long shipments. MARKETING BOARDS Marketing boards must employ to the full modern marketing techniques and management practices. Their success must be based on an expansionist approach to the food system. According to Dr. Geoffrey Hiscocks, director of the Policy and Planning Secretariat of the Agriculture Canada Economics Branch, this is the only way such boards will become a valuable tool for agricultural development.

E. Valentine Boerboom I ROW tomatoes without soil? Sounds like a science fiction dream or a laboratory experiment. But Arnold of Summerland, in B.C.'s Okanagan Valley, is growing tons of them in sawdust this year and thinks it is much better than soil. It's not dirty, you're sure that all the nutrients the plants need are there—fed to them in their drinking water—and you're safe from soil-borne diseases, viruses, and nematodes that may lurk hidden in unsuspected earth. Arnold is getting an average of eight pounds of toms per plant with his first batch in sawdust, hopes to work up to 10 or even more. * * * TIE never intended to be a tomato grower. Arnold camp to the Okanagan on his honeymoon 20 years ago with the intention of becoming a fruit farmer. It took years of work at various jobs to raise enough capital, but eventually he bought an old orchard, removed its aged trees, and replanted it according to the most up-to-date plans with semi-dwarf apple trees trained along wires, worked like a slave to get the orchard all set up and the trees started. Only as a temporary measure did he build a big, woodframe plastic-covered greenhouse and go in for raising tomatoes. They would provide a cash crop while the trees were growing; something he could look after in his spare time, with help from his wife and four children, while holding down a regular job as well. He had no lack of energy or ambition, this sturdy Hollander. "FOUR years ago his orchard produced its first big crop of apples; and that year was the beginning of world over-production of apples. Prices were fair at first, then plummeted. They've been low ever since. Some varieties do better than others, but returns remain lower than costs of production. The grower receives only a small part of what the consumer pays. So Arnold decided this year to not only continue with his tomato-growing, but to go into it as thoroughly and scientifically as possible. In his huge quarter- acre greenhouse he set 1700 wooden crates in long rows 24 inches apart. The crates were lined with plastic, filled with sawdust—-fir, spruce, hemlock, anything but cedar, which can be poisonous. While the thousands of tomato seeds planted in early January were growing into plants, water pipes were laid in the greenhouse, a 600-gallon wooden tank built, an electric pump connected up to draw liquid from the tank and drive it through the pipes. . From the pipes a plastic hose line ran along each row of crates. Holes were bored in the hose and a slender micro-tub,e inserted for each plant. * * * WHEN the 3400 young tomato " plants were transplanted into the sawdust in March, the feeding system swung into action. Six hundreds gallons of water were let into the tank. To the water was added 40 ounces of potassium chloride, 48 ounces of magnesium sulphate—plants need Epsom salts too!—15 ounces of diammonium phosphate, and 58 ounces of calcium nitrate. (Later some of these amounts would change as the plants matured, and potassium nitrate would be added.) Small amounts of minor elements were added too: copper, zinc, .boron, molybdenum, iron, manganese. Finally, sufficient sulphuric acid to bring the pH of the. sawdust to the optimum level—around 6.3. When the pump was switched on, all this liquid nourishment was forced through the pipes, to trickle out of the micro-tubes to every plant. And how they grew! Twines had been hung from the greenhouse's framework ceiling to every plant, and the tomatoes climbed steadily, until by summer they were higher than a man's head. Green, thick-foliaged, bearing fruit heavily, they were a testimony to the effectiveness of sawdust and artificial feeding. In hot weather, the plants may require up to four 600-gallon feedings per day. On a shelf by the tank Arnold has everything laid out ready—labelled pails for the major elements, two beer bottles for the mixed minor elements—"But don't think it's Heidelberg I'm giving them!"— so that his capable teenaged sons can brew up a batch and feed it when he is busy elsewhere. AFTER his summer crop of ■"■ tomatoes is finished he has a second crop coming for the fall in another quarter-acre greenhouse which he is in process of getting ready. He's doing things a little differently here. Two-gallon plastic bags are used in place of crates to hold the sawdust for the plants. They are much easier to handle. He can throw away the sawdust when the plants are done and start over, instead of sterilizing it with steam or gas and reusing it several times, as he does with the crates. Pails would be handier still if he could get them cheap enough, but he is waiting to see if such small-sized containers will work successfully. A new idea in the works is to spread a quarter-inch of sand on top of the sawdust, too, so that the liquid food will spread more widely and not dry out as much. But the basic idea of growing tomatoes in sawdust is, he considers, a proven success. ■ Arnold Boerboom proudly looks at his vigorous sawdust- grown plants. One of the micro-tubes feeding the plants.

The giants, which once nested across the prairies and southern Ontario, were wiped out by man. About a dozen years ago, a few were found and some men have since strived mightily to restore the giants' numbers to ensure their survival. On Sunday, December 10, at 8p.m., CBC television's To The Wild Country devotes an hour of color film to the comeback of the giant Canada goose in the second of a five-part series subtitled Return of the Giants. Program hosts John and Janet Foster explore the story of the return of the giants, which unfolds close to highly concentrated areas such as Toronto and Guelph, rather than the isolated marshes which the giant Canada goose once inhabited. For, as man was guilty of once nearly wiping out the giant Canadas, he now is trying to make it up. One such man is Bill Car- rick of Kortright Waterfowl Park, Guelph, Ont., who operates a major breeding station for the giant Canadas. At Kortright, the giants have their eggs hatched in incubators to ensure maximum survival and we see BUI Carrick and his children, Jess and Jay, filling incubator trays and caring for tiny goslings as they emerge from their shells. Although the giant Canadas are born in captivity, they have wild instincts and within two years, establish their ownfam- ilies and fly free above towns and cities, marshes andfarms. Toronto Island, at the foot of that city, has become a haven for the Giants and we see also how matched pairs of giants are introduced into farm ponds and wild areas throughout southern Ontario. The Carrick children are featured in their adventures with wild animals as well as tame creatures, including Fred the Friendly Beaver. The children also act as "parents" for certain little goslings who have become "imprinted" on them. Spectacular flight sequences are shown, some'in slow motion, which reveal how the wings of the mighty giant Canada goose are intricately constructed for maximum manouver- abiliry and efficiency in flight. These sequences were filmed by a special camera, which can take up to 400 frames per second. As host John Foster says: "The giant Canada goose is a separate race from those we see flying across our country in great "V" formations. They are larger, heavier birds which nested in the Canadian andUjS. prairies and southern Ontario, but which took the place of the buffalo as food when man wiped out the buffalo, and died out when the marshes were drained by settlers. "But somewhere, somehow, a few survived. From this nucleus of life, flocks have grown, assisted by man. Now these geese accept man in their old territories — in truth, they find their wild country close toman." John and Janet Foster explore Canada's 'untamed land' in To The Wild Country, five one-hour color specials to be seen on CBC-TV this season. Liquid feed supplements Cattlemen in southern Alberta will be the first in Canada to have Canadian produced liquid feed supplements available for their operations. A manufacturing plant to produce the new product has been opened in Lethbridge by National Feeds & Livestock Limited, a subsiduary of National-Agri Services in Winnipeg. The National plant has the capacity to manufacture up to 60,000 tons of liquid supplements per year. National liquid supplements are described by Richard Allen, National's director of technical services as "a stable and homogeneous mixture of ingredients designed to supply most of the protein in the form of non-protein nitrogen, furnish the animal's requirements for vitamins and minerals, stimulate rumen action, and provide an immediate source of energy". National liquid supplements are intended to be fed along with homegrown grains and roughages to achieve greater efficiency in the conversion of feedstuffs to quality beef. Since cost of feed constitutes a major portion of beef production costs and balanced nutrition is necessary for optimum performance, national liquid supplements are expected to play an important role in controlling livestock production costs. "Our products," said Allen, "are designed for the same essential purpose as dry supplements - to compensate for the natural deficiencies in roughage and-or grain portion of the ruminant ration. The supplements supply all the required nutrients to make the homegrown feedstuffs into a balanced ration." Ray Wolfe, director of National Feeds & Livestock said that Lethbridge was chosen as the site of the new plant because of the heavy concentration of cattle in the area and the future growth prospects of the beef industry in southern Alberta. The plant will be in production soon after its opening, November 18. "We also have the feeling," said Wolfe, "that cattlemen in this region are willing to accept new programs as1 readily as any in Canada". The plant will be under the direction of John DePape, division sales manager, National Feeds & Livestock Limited, Calgary and managed by Terry Bracken, who has served as a national feeds territory manager in southwestern Saskatchewan before his promotion to the company's new operation in Lethbridge.

The trait could be a characteristic habit, a peculiar shape, a distinctive bark or twig pattern. It could also be some hereditary malformation that forces it to bend one way or another so that the general appearance dominates its .surroundings sufficiently to lend its character to the rest of the garden or buildings near which it is planted. A tree doesn't have to be tall to qualify. It can be small enough to suit the requirements of the average home garden and yet have the overpowering strength of a forest giant. In the arboretum at the Agriculture Canada plant research institute at Ottawa there are many small trees with character, the most expressive of which must surely be the Cam- perdown elm. Perhaps it is during the winter that its gnarled and knotted trunk stands out so grotesquely because it then has a contrasting background of snow. In summer its wide- spreading pendulour limbs form an umbrella under which one can take shelter from both sun and rain. Two similar trees are the weeping mulberry (Morus alba 'Pendula*) and the weeping Siberian crab (Malus baccata 'Gracilius'). The mulberry, with its deep green round lob- ed leaves in summer and grayish bark in winter, is quite appealing to those who wish to add a Japanese touch to the garden. It is quite small, and trees in the Arboretum more than 70 years old, have not yet attained a height of more than 10 feet. The weeping Siberian crab- apple must surely be one of the most over-looked trees for it has qualities unmatched in most other pendulous trees, those of abundant flower and fruit. Add to this its attractive fall coloring and its artistic winter twig pattern and you have an effect that dominates the scene at any time of the year. The weeping mountain ash (JSorbus aucuparia 'Pendula') exhibits strange qualities not often found in pendulous trees. On standard trees which are grafted on stems six feet high or more, the long thick branches hang to the ground. On naturally growing trees the lower branches extend horizontally for a few feet and then curve and touch the ground. New branches then grow upright from these trunks and curve outward, eventually forming a wide spreading tangled mass of trunks and branchlets. Because of its branches that radiate in a horizontal plane from the main stem, the tree lilac (Syringa amurensis ja- ponica) has a typically Japanese silhouette, a character desirable around a bungalow or ranch style home. This tree also has very attractive cherry-like, light brown bark, which shines luminously and gives it distinction during the winter. Other trees that exhibit similar habits to the tree lilac are the mono maple (Acer mono), and the dotted haw (Crataegus punctata). The mono maple has a rounded silhouette composed of branches in a horizontal plane, whereas the dotted haw is wider and has a flat 'table top' shape. Thus the haw produces a wider expanse of shade and has the additional attraction of bright golden, brown dotted fruits. The deep green leaves of both these trees turn to brilliant gold in fall. The mono maple is not as yet obtainable from nurseries, but its name is mentioned here to draw attention to a delightful by A.R. Buckley tree that should be made available. Deeply fissured bark always gives a rugged character to the winter appearance of trees. The ever popular Amur corktree (Phellodendron amurense) has extremely showy brown corky bark and large bright green soft leaves. The thick branches of this tree stand at right angles to the trunk and have a solid wideangledcrotch, which, like the America! elm, esldom splits down the middle. The Sakhalin corktree (Phellodendron sachalinens), is more refined in every way. Its corky bark is softer and has a bright whitish-gray color that stands out ghostlike on a winter's night. Its leaves are smaller, much more glossy, and more finely textured. There is something about a multiple-stemmed tree that seems to give it an air of authority. Such a tree_is. the Amur maackia (Maackia amurensis), a leguminous tree with many yellow barked trunks, large pinnate leaves, and small, creamy yellow pea shaped racemes of flowers, produced This weeping crabapple has a character and beauty all of its own. OUR WATER NOT FOR SALE No sale or diversion of water to the United States has been or is being contemplated by the government of Canada, Environment Minister Jack Davis said last week. Canfax service to oxpand The board of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association agreed that the organization should make a major effort to expand the Canfax service during 1973. Canfax is presently quoting market intentions and pricing information on approximately 8 percent of the cattle sold in Alberta and, a similar percentage in Ontario. A drive for new members in 1973 will aim at getting much more use of the service in these two provinces and also at getting significant growth in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The continued de- . cline of traditional price establishing systems is of major concern to CCA which feels that Canfax can not only go some way towards replacing this loss but also provides valuable information not previously available to feedlot operators^ RARE WHITE MOOSE SHOT A rare white moose — not. an albino — was bagged by hunter Bernie Brooks of Smithers recently. The target was sighted just south of Kiniskan Lake. The moose was a young bull of about 3-4 years old. Brooks, who was accompanied on the hunting trip by Joe Ballenger, said he did not know much about this kind of moose, "except all kinds of stories", he said. He said that when his prize catch was inspected toy a Wildlife Branch Officer, the latter said that, as far as he knew, only four of this kind of moose have ever been shot. He said that this was extremely rare. Davis was referring to remarks made on the CBC's Sunday night television program Weekend recently which suggested that there were plans to divert water from northern Ontario through the Great Lakes system into the United States. "There is absolutely no truth in this," said Davis. "Canada's water is not for sale." The minister said there has been no change in Canada's policy since a statement was made in the House of Commons on February 24, 1970, indicating that the governments of Canada and Ontario were making studies of northern Ontario water resources. This ' statement continued: "There has been and there is no participation in these studies by representatives of the United States Army Corps of Engineers, nor by any other United States agency." Davis said: "Not only has no such water diversion project been launched, but no proposal to export water has been made to Canada by the UJS. government." in July. Even in mild climates, unless the tree is primed to a single stem, it produces a number of trunks. The bright yellow bark of the main trunks is very attractive and blends with the surrounding landscape. Perhaps it is their rugged constitution that gives these trees distinction and character, for it is significant that all those mentioned are thoroughly hardy across most of Canada. FEEDLOT TRIALS The Canadian Cattlemen's Association intends setting up feedlot trials in both eastern and western Canada to investigate feeding costs involved in meeting the new grade standards. Despite considerable experimental evidence thatfeed costs rise sharply towards the end of the feeding period, many feedlot operators feel that under practical conditions, economics favour putting on a maximum amount of gain. The CCA will work with feedlot operators to develop practical tests to produce data under feedlot conditions on differences in feed costs involved in feeding cattle to various degrees of finish.
