Says C. of C. speaker w Remarkable progress seea Norm Williams, a local real estate broker was installed as 1973 president of the Aldergrove and district chamber of commerce at a dinner held in the Alder Inn Saturday evening. His vice chairman will be Gary Smith of Gary's Men's , Wear. Guest speaker at the inaugural meeting was Don Watson, vice president of the B.C. chamber. Watson made special note in his address to the "remarkable progress we have seen take place during the last ' year in Aldergrove." He also urged the Aldergrove chamber to send representatives to the B.C. chamber's annual convention. Commenting on current political ideologies, Watson said that public ownership of sectors of the industry should be restricted to-fields where there is a definite proven need. "At the present we see many cases of such government involvement into fields without aprov- en need," he said, ■ Special invited guests at the banquet were local MP Mark Rose (NDP) and MLA Bob McClelland (Socred), mildly needling each other on partisan lines, and Mayor George Preston trying to gloss over any differences the two senior politicians might have. All in all, a very pretty evening. The dinner was attended by about 30 local businessmen and politicians accompanied by their wives. Lacrossebox approved The long awaited lacrosse box has finally become a reality for Aldergrove. At Monday's meeting Langley district council approvedacost sharing agreement with Langley school board on the construction. The box will be located on the Aldergrove senior secondary school grounds, and is according to Aid. Bill Blair supposed to be ready for play on May 15. Couple charged with XSrove girl's murder Two people were arrested in Victoria on Sunday in connection with the death of Kathleen Mary McKenzie, formerly of Aldergrove. Kathleen's body was found January 28 in bush- land near Cade Bar Road in Mission by a group of children on a bottle hunt. She was, seventeen years old and had' been living in Vancouver, although her parents reside in Aldergrove. Charged with non-capital murder are Dorothy Margaret Irish, 17, and Ivan Horvat, 19. Horvat is reported to be an artist. Irish has also been Charged with being an accessory to non-capital murder,and in additionboth have been charged with unlawfully interfering i'ijth a deceased human body. ;'Vancouver city police say ■jathleen McKenzie's face had 6een rubbed with lime in an attempt to conceal her identity. Police also report they believe the girl was murdered between January 17 and 28 and that the murder took place at 2679 Adanac Street in Vancouver. The couple appeared incourt Monday before Judge David Mof- fatt. Their charges were read and they were remanded without bail for one week. Norm Williams deft) and Gary Smith are installed into office by Mayor George Preston ' Code given final okay Monday saw the adoption of the National Building Code-in Langley municipality. Last week acceptance of the document had been delayed to give Aid. Bill Blair a chance to study the effects it would have on the construction of farm buildings. The code is stiffer in many ways than was the old municipal building by-law, and Blair was concerned that this may have been a burden on the farmer building a new bam. This week the problems were resolved and the code was adopted in its entirety. Last week it had been indicated that the first portion of the document which deals with how the code should be administered, should be omitted, but this week . that portion remained wnwwe^s code was finally received as law. Council had planned to use the NHA specifications for construction together with their own administrative policies. The code was written by the federal government to standardize building by-laws across Canada. Finance chairman, Aid. Gaiy Smith said that if the code were adopted by every council in Canada, building costs would drop. He said a standard building by-law would mean standardized building products which would mean tower production costs. . g a % * i. •* o rl o p e O H % m o m H it o Fair board annual meet icih New farmland directive, lots of details The general annual meeting of the Aldergrove Agricultural Association has beenscheduled for February 28 at 8 p.m. in the Elks hall. Election of officers for the 1973 term wilt take place. The association's' 'Rose Queen' contest will be held on Saturday, May 5 at 8 pan. in the Aldergrove high school auditorium when the retiring queen, Jeanette Warmerdam will pass on the crown to her Successor. And the fair board's fall fair has been slated for Saturday and Sunday, September 8 and 9, in the Aldergrove Elks hall. Agriculture Minister Dave Stupich has issued another directive persuant to the government's freeze on subdivision and development of farmlands. The original order in council, although it had a great impact on development around the province, was vague in some areas. It left a lot of room for con- | flicting interpretation by different legal minds and as a result of the confusion there has been a steady string of letters going back and forth between the municipal councils and the offices of Agriculture Minister Dave Stupich. 'w The latest directive, explain- ] ing or interpreting the original .order in council arrived at 'Langley council Monday morning. The document itself was dated February 16. On the surface the newdir- | ective seems to cover almost I every point that the govern- I ment had previously left up to | the councils to Judge for them- I selves, but underneath it hides FLOWER SHOW DATES SET The annual Bradner spring flower show has been slated lfor April 13, 14 and 15 this year. .,,;"''It will, as usual, be held I in the Bradner community hall . and thousands of visitors are expected. a few catch clauses whichplace the onus back on the councils. The main catch phrase states that no application may be turned down if work was substantially begun prior to December 22, 1972. It also states that no application may be turned down if it means causing hardship to the applicant. Obviously it is up to the applicant to prove that work had begun and that a turn down would cause him hardship; But it is still up to council to interpret the word substantially and to decide whether the hardship suffered is enough of a hardship to warrant passing the application in spite of the stiff guidelines contained in the rest of the farmland freeze document. Mayor Bill Vander Zaun of Surrey has made remarks to the effect that.the provincial government is laying the law down with town councils. Vander Zalm seems to feel that if councils can reach intelligent and responsible decisions for the duration of the farmland freeze, the provincial government will reward them, »by leaving them enough power to administer their own zoning plans and to enforce their own planning by-laws. On the other ' hand, Vander Zalm has also indicated that if councils make the wrong decisions duringthis troubled time, they will surely be overruled by the provincial government on future zoning and planning matters.' This week Aid. Gary Smith echoed Bill Vander Zalm's remarks and indicated they were words to take heed of. Whether the provincial government is testing town councils or not, is a matter for debate, but through all the politics and legal interpretations of documents, one thing still remains crystal clear. Thecoun- cils will have to work within the shifting guidelines of the' farmland freeze for some time yet. Monday afternoon senior advisory staff at Langley municipal hall were in conference for a considerable length of time. No one said what they were discussing, but it didn't really, have to be said, they were studying the new directive, trying to establish exactly where they stand with regard to the many subdivisions and developments that are waiting to sprout up around the municipality. Word keeps coming through the grape vine, that the NDP government is hard at work writing detailed legislation to replace the farmland freeze, and indeed the government itself describes the freeze only as an interim measure. Interim to the provincial government means until they get their legislation finished, but to town councils it means a period of very hard decision making. %, Cuba and Scouts enjoy an evening with their Dads at the father and son banquet held In Aldergrove United Church hall Monday night.

A lot of people are making a lot of noise right now about bonus mortgages. There are scores of firms offering such deals, in fact there is at least one operating out of a home just south of Langley city. In this article we do not intend to moralize or question the reputability of such companies, rather we seek merely to outline the facts and leave the judgment to you, the reader. We have a case history. This is the case of a local couple who had bills outstanding with two separate finance companies. These two bills totalled approximately $5,200. The couple had to get money from somewhere to pay off the creditors, so they took the advice of a friend who had heard of a mortgage broker who offered loans for such causes. Their friend referred them to a company known as Burrard Mortgage Investments Ltd. on Georgia Street in Vancouver. The company also has offices at 1687 West Broadway. Our local resident contacted Burrard Mortgage by telephone and informed them he was interested in taking out a mortgage on his home. A man was dispatched to Aldergrove to visit them. Paul De Graft of Burrard Mortgage lives on Bowes Road in Delta, and he was the representative sent to Aldergrove to negotiate with our informant. He is reported to have told the couple that there would be no problem putting their mortgage through. There was plenty of equity in the property, and the remaining outstanding sum on the first mortgage would leave a comfortable cushion of equity in the house even when the sum of the second mortgage was added. The local claims that he asked De Graft if their was a bonus attached to the mortgage and was told there was not. He and his wife also report that they requested the morfc. gage not be resold to another person. In any case, no matter what the nature of the conversation that evening in the Aldergrove home, the mortgage they now have is owned by another person and it has a bonus clause in it worth $1,600.00. For those who are still hazy on exactly how a bonus mortgage works, here are thefacts: Let us assume that you are in the same position as our example couple; you need a sum of money somewhere in the thousands. You may need it to halt foreclosure proceedings, or to buy a business, or even to pay for your daughter's wedding, but chances are, however, that it is for debt consolidation which is the way most of these cases come a- bout. You feel that there is little hope in getting help from a bank or other conventional money outlet, as you have monthly payments in excess of your income. So you visit a finance company that you already have a fairly large account with. The finance company branch manager is probably a fair business man, he would probably like to see you relieved of your financial burden. The deal you are asking for, however, represents too large a sum for his company to handle, so he asks you if you would consider mortgaging your home. You say you will if the deal is okay, so he refers you to another institution he knows which carries mortgages for homeowners. This will not be a bank as they do not make debt consolidation loans, but it might be another finance company or a credit union. Both institutions often write first mortgages, and occasionally go for a second if the equity is high enough. You visit the parly he recommends and lay your cards on the table. If the equity in your home is great enough this institution may write the mortgage for you. In such a case you would probably pay about 12 percent interest on the dollar. There would be no bonus attached. Most conventional outlets, however, are not fond of writing second and third mortgages as they can involve high risks and they might not help the borrower much in the long run, anyway. So you are turned down again, and you return to the finance company. Now the branch manager has his back to the wall. He is in much the same boat as you are. He is an honest man and his company is trying to play an unfortunate, but necessary role in the community. However, when the chips are down he must think first of his accounts receivable department and with some personal misgivings he refers you to a mortgage broker he is quite sure will give you the mortgage you require. For this referral there are cases in which a branch manager may receive a finder's fee (also referred to as a kickback) from the mortgage broker. How widespread these cases are, however, we do not know. In the profession the act of collecting finder's fees for such referrals is known as 'bird dogging'. People in the trade look down upon people who do it, and if any of them are ever caught they are fired post haste. We know of one instance in Langley, wherein a finance company branch manager who was at one time a 'bird dogger', has been fired and is now working with another finance company in another area. In spite of the way this practise is frowned upon, some mortgage brokers still persist in making such offers to branch managers or their employees. A finance company source tells us that he is approached in such a manner about three times a week, and another branch manager of a local and Langley fire wrecks centre Fire last Wednesday destroyed St. Joseph's Catholic Education Centre, 207th St. and Douglas Crescent, in Langley. A spokesman for Langley fire department said: "The inside of the building was destroyed. Only the walls were left standing." The fire, discovered short* ly after midnight, flared up again after fire crews had left the scene. Firemen returned to the burning building about 7 a.m. to put out the blaze. by Gary Chambers reputable financial institution has informed us that he has been approached in the past by a representative of Burrard Mortgage. In any case it is about time we returned to the issue at hand, that is how the bonus mortgage works. To illustrate let us return to the situation with our test case couple. As stated they needed $5,200 to pay off some bills. They contacted Burrard Mortgage, a man came to their home and the document was written. A few weeks later, when he complained 'about the bonus, our test case says He was told there was nothing he could do about it. The total of the mortgage value after bonus, legal fees, and some cash outlay to the borrower is $7,900. This amount is payable at $151.50 per month. The interest rate is 16 percent per anum. A chartered accountant informs us that this mortgage would be paid off in between five and six years of the original payment. In all fairness one must then point out that this interest rate is not as harsh as many. Another Aldergrove couple now have a mortgage with a company called Trinity Properties (a subsidiary of Galaxy Investments). This couple pay $62.14 per month and on a loan of $3,150 over five years, they pay 24 percent interest. This couple now have their mortgage in the hands of the attorney general who is hoping to make a test case out of it. The loan included a $1,000 bon« us,and can never be paid off. But once more back to our test case couple. This couple have taken their problem to another institution of lending. That institution has decided that due to the ample equity in the home, they will pay out the mortgage for our couple. They will still pay through the nose, but still they won't pay quite as much as they would have were they to have, kept the Burrard Mortgage in the top drawer of their dresser. In addition, The Star has forwarded their mortgage papers to Frank Maczko of the Vancouver Legal Aid Society. Frank has expressed a desire to add this document to the battery of documents he has as ammunition against such mortgage companies.

Further, Roy Jax of Radio C JJC is also carrying a story on this mortgage. In conclusion let us tell you a little about the way many of these companies carry on the less publicized part of their business. We do not know if this applies to any of the companies mentioned in this story, but a source in the world of consumer credit tells us that it does apply to many unconventional mortgage brokers. Our informant tells us that many of them have little more than one large desk in their 'boiler room' offices. This desk is covered in mortgages. Road bound employees drop mortgages off here from time to time. Private investors who want a good return on their dollar often drop in and rummage through the documents, in much the same way as you might rummage through socks or panti-hose on sale day at a department store. Some investors even get together and form a syndicate or acceptance corporation, and then hire someone to scout for them. Our informant says that some of these mortgages are sold before the original transaction is even completed. Many of these companies have their offices on Broadway, a curious fact we can not explain. One owner of a mortgage brokerage mentioned in this story also owns a car lot, which has been a thorn under the Better Business Bureau's skin for quite some time. Two brokerages owned by one Roger West have been closed down by the attorney general, eight more companies not necessarily connected with West have writs issued against them. And there is some indication that the brokers are feeling the pressure, Mike Poppel who owns Trinity Properties which we forementioned, recently contacted the Aldergrove type who released his story to radio CKNW in Vancouver, and m 856-2698 Tires Gas- Oil- offered to reach some other agreement.

Taylor said the government's action, which imposes a temporary freeze on subdivision of farmlands, demands that some sort of compensation be negotiated since many of the farmers run marginal operations. "The government has gone just a little bit too far in imposing this freeze," Taylor said. "It doesn't follow the democratic type of procedures of this country. In effect, it's a form of expropriation." Taylor was speaking at a Community Planning Association of Canada meeting at the Airport Inn in Richmond. As a result of the freeze, Taylor said, land in areas where freeze is not in effect has gone up in price while the land affected by the government order has declined in value. If land is required for green belt purposes or to be preserved for agricultural uses, it should be acquired through the traditional bargaining process, Taylor said. Taylor's views on the freeze were not supported by twoother speakers,. Vancouver Mayor Art Phillips and Surrey Mayor Bill Vander Zalm. Phillips said he considered the .government's freeze a "crude type of action" and said if there is concern about preservation of green belt land and farming areas, regional districts are the best bodies to help prevent urban sprawl and urban blight. "I think "the question isn't just one of preservation of farmland, rather it's one of both keeping the farmland and the orderly development of urbanization." Phillips disagreed with Taylor's argument that people have a basic democratic right i to sell land as a commodity. "That's an old-fashioned idea," Phillips said. "It's the same as saying anyone can build anything they want on their property." He told the meeting it is also wrong to describe the freeze as an expropriation. , "The land isn't being taken away. Ii still belongs to the people involved. It's still there to be worked as a farm." Phillips said the freeze rather removes what he called "Speculative expectations." "And let's remember that speculators don't always win," he said. Phillips said he could see the need for considering compensation in individual cases but could see none for an over- ' all compensation policy. "Regional districts should set land-use policies, and they have to mean what they say. We have to make the transition from this crude freeze policy to a state where urban growth and sprawl is control-. led by the districts themselves." Vander Zalm said the government's action was necessary if shrinking farmlands are to be preserved. If some means must befound to help farmers running marginal operations to stay in business, an answer might be to remove some of the tax burdens from such farms. Vander Zalm said if such operators wanted, at a later date, to sell their land for some other type of development, taxes could be paid on a retroactive basis. The farmers who are doing the most complaining about the freeze are the ones whose fields are covered in brambles and who hold the land only in the hope of eventually subdividing it at a profit, he said. The Surrey mayor said it's necessary that careful planning in relation to housing growth go hand in hand with the efforts being' made to pre-. serve green belt lands and farmlands. i To study local situation BUDDING PLANNERS WANTED .

They plan to operate the coffee house between the hours of 12 noon and 12 midnight six days a week, but, there's one big snag presently causing them the greatest concern about the feasibility of their project. They need housing. Edith and Debbie have been busy last week scouting around for a large room or rooms suitable for their facility. They are looking for a small hall or perhaps an empty older type home within walking distance of "downtown" Aldergrove. The plans. also include a workshop for elementary students and younger children where they can do various crafts and arts during the afternoon hours, and if the project proves a success the two young entrepeneurs plantocon- tinue the operation of the youth meeting place on a year-round basis.

With the tabling of legislation which precedes government sponsored auto insurance, I think some people got a little more than they bargained for. The first and most obvious comment to make about the planned insurance is that it is first and foremost a pure government monopoly. There is no provision for any competition and it appears likely that the government's aim is to phase out independent agents over the next few years. I would say their days are numbered. The legislation gives the government the'right to cancel any agent who is carrying the scheme without notice or compensation and in fact contains some sections which provide for what almost amounts to confiscation of an agents business. Secondly, I would like to ex-' press some concern about the measures which allow the government to invest premiums from the insurance plan anywhere they want This provision should be coupled with proposed changes in the revenue act which allows the government to invest in any corporation, rather than in guaranteed securities only as was the practice with the previous government. I believe these moves are being made so that the government may invest in crown corporations of dubious stability, both in British Columbia and outside the province. Much the same as thepurchase of buses from the Manitoba operated Western Flyer Company in Winnipeg without tender, allowed the B.C. government to help shore up a failing NDP enterprise, this easing of investment restriction will see the government involved in all kinds of marginal crown operations not only with investments from insurance premiums but with investments jrnrmrwii i , i —m—r» CENTRAL FRASER VALLEY STAR PUBLICATIONS Independently owned weekly publications serving , the Langley and Matsqui districts and published in Aldergrove, British Columbia, Box 220.

It would seem to me that while we accept the fact that the NDP received a mandate of sorts to provide government sponsored automobile Insurance, it received no such mandate for other forms of insurance. The headlong rush into these fields could be, first of all to provide a base to ease any premium losses in auto insurance, and secondly to help hasten the demise of the independent agent. The final point I wish to make is that the legislature will be asked to debate the insurance bills in the next few weeks, and it appears we will have to consider the major piece of legislation without knowing all the facts- without knowing what the rates are going to be. Mr. Strachan has said the rates will not be known for several weeks, at least, yet his government asks that we try to debate this measure with some degree of intelligence. We are being asked really to buy a pig in a poke. Like the budget, this legislation is largely deceitful in that it doesn't tell us the whole story — it is more significant for what it leaves out than for what it contains. ———B_^—.OB TWIT COLUMN How much dishonesty? by Kathleen Hay The on-coming spring could easily "lift" that cloudy topic- the land freeze, ff we were to sit tight and refuse to accept even 5 cents less than our land is appraised at it would be one alternative to our problem. On the other hand, the NJD.P. office in Langley give a hopeful outlook. It's not entirely clear if the "freeze" will be lifted in ALL areas or only some. Will the sun come shining through? How much "dishonesty" is allowable within the borders of "honesty"? Pm sure we all sympathize with and agree to a certain extent tint veterans of the armed forces (whether they served overseas or not) should be allowed privileges not available to "non-veterans". Right? Well, one of these is a loan available at the low interest rate of about 3 percent. This loan is used for re-establishing themselves in civilian life, cars, boats, homes, etc. Do you think this loan should be applied for and used as a "nest-egg" at the taxpayers expense? It happens I Just yesterday I heard of a fellow that qualified for and received such a loan to deposit on a "term plan demand" type of account and now reaps the 8 percent interest that's accumulating! Where can the government draw the line? LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THE NOSTALGIC MEMORIES OF OUR MINISTERS OF AGRICULTURE AND HEALTH AND WELFARE Editor, The Star, Dear Sir, It is true most of us can remember Of we are old enough) when the people from the city (mostly union workers) went for a drive in the country on a Sunday afternoon find gazed at the farmers working in the fields picking strawberries, raspberries, and later, beans. It must indeed have been a pleasant sight. They could then stop here and there and haggle over the price of a flat of berries Or whatever was being harvested (paying as little as possible), or they could stop at a poultry farm and haggle over the price of a few dozen cracked eggs. For the most part they were unwilling to pay producer price (hot wholesale or retail, but producer price) and so make the trip out to the country a paying, proposition, as well as a pleasant one. However, those farmers have become extinct. Most farmers have by now heard of the $4.50 per hour that the man in the large chain store get s for putting groceries on the shelves for the shopper's convenience. He doesn't have to worry about bugs, blights, plant diseases, animal diseases, poultry diseases, frost, rain, drought, etc., so the 25 cents per hour the farmer might make doesn't sound exciting. - A farmer nowadays must have a large unit. He uses machinery wherever possible as he can no longer afford to hire people to work in the < berry fields, hay fields, etc., leaving a void for those Sunday drivers. In those days, Mr. Cocke and Mr. Stupich, a man who milked five cows was a dairy farmer. Now a farmer who milks 25 cows is considered a small farmer. This is a loss of 4 farmers. In many cases a farmer milks 100 Or more cows, which is a loss of 20 farmers. In poultry you find the same thing; At one time a poultry man with 500 layers could eke out an existence (not a living) whereas now a poultry farmer keeps from 100,000 to, in some cases, 200,000 layers, indicating a loss of 200 to 400 farmers. This is why most farmers have stopped farming and have started commuting to jobs in the city. Now then, Mr. Cocke and Mr. Stupich, a piece of land does" not make a farm. It takes a very determined,individual and a hard working wife and family to make a farm. Pm very much afraid most of our younger generation are not - too interested in this sort of an existence, so Mr. Stupich what are you going to do with all this land? You, Mr. Cocke, are talking to an era when most property owners in the city had a vegetable garden on the back part of the lot. Quite a few of these city dwellers also had a chicken coop in the back with 10 or 12 chickens, even possibly a cow tethered in a vacant block nearby. Now, Mr. Cocke, in the Year of Our Lord 1973, bylaws inthe city - no more chickens, no more cows, even back yard gardens are a thing of the past, perhaps due to lack of organic fertilizer, formerly supplied by the horsepower that used to propel the bread wagons and the milk wagons, (the BUILDING MATERIALS ROOF TRUSSES.

Dictator Editor, The Star, Dear Sir, Mrs. Dailly's, the Honorable Minister of Education, recent "order in Council" re corporal punishment is a personal, dictatorial decision which is an affront to every citizen of a democracy. Perhaps "her conscience won't allow her to preside as education minister over a school system that condones and permits strapping of students". By the same token, neither does our conscience permit us to submit silently re this edict which prevents corporal punishment of students who commit serious misdemeanors. Some questions come to mind: 1. Why were teachers not polled re their preference in this vital matter? .2. Why, when we have a B.C.T.F., PJS.A., curriculum directors, ad infinitum, were we not allowed discussion or dialogue on this important issue? . ; 3. Why should the school system be subject to the whim of a personal decision? 4. Why was no reasonable alternative given? It is wrong, Bugs Bunny, (The Province, February 17, 1973), portrays the point superbly:- /. Sylvester: ff you can furnish proof that you've been placed in a position of authority, I shall be happy to accede to your wishes. Bugs: WHACK!!! Sylvester: Eeee-YD?Ej! Er your explanation suddenly has made everything perfectly clear. Bob McConnell, Editor of the Province, states succintiy: a) "Although they (his teachers) phrased it differently, they all accompaniedtheir show of force, with the offer of a COMPACT between them and their students. The offer was this: ff you step out of line I'll smack you down; if you pay attention I will make this subject lively and interesting. b) Corporal punishment ... wasn't an effort to beat down the adult in us. It was simply a warning to the child... c) ifs just mat they (teachers) may have to waste a lot more time before they get the kid's attention." I have had an interesting, informative, and intelligent discussion with my Grade 6' students re the reasons for strap retention. Another staff member held a debate with his Grade 7 class. A reporter interviewed members of a Grade 6 class in a Vancouver school and the program on T.V. The majority of the children . condoned corporal punishment. We polled the students inour school from Grade 4 to Grade 7 on. strap retention, and approximately 85 percent of the 260 pupils opted for corporal punishment. In one class of 38 children, 38 students voted not .only to retain the strap but also said that in their family, their parents believed" in physical punishment for. severe misdemeanors. In the family unit, spatulas and wood en spoons are often the instruments used for spanking. Here are some succint comments from the class of Grade 6: Boy: There'll be more problems now. Girl:, Kids will get into trouble all the time because nothing will happen. Boy: What's to stop me throwing a rock through the window? I just feel like it. ~ Girl: If the kids feel like doing something, they'll do it. Girl: WHAT WILL MRS. DATLLY PUT IN ITS PLACE? In a special class of Learning Disabilities in our school, 11-13 wished strap retention. Their reasons show intuitive insight into problems of learning discipline and self-discipline: Girl: He'll bully me if nothing happens. Boy: Kids do bad things and they should be punished when they do them. The strap is "there" -just "there" - not to be abused through misuse but to be used as the Public Schools Act states: "similar to that of a kind, firm, and judicious parent" - for the common good. ' The .school is a society of students and like society at large, needs rules and regulations for law and order to be retained and maintained. in a world that is shrinking due to urbanization, over-population and ever-increasing proximity. Schools are accountable to that society, of children, parents, and taxpayers, and stop and go signs, green and red lights, and rules-of4he-road, are ever with us - more so than ever before. The school is the place for the pupil to learn to respect these time-honored humane principles, procedures, and proprieties in order to honor the rights of the majority as well as to consider the wishes of the minority in a democracy. Teachers are not child beaters. Some may have strapped unwisely and unfairly but life often treats us unwisely and unfairly. It is human to err. Children perceive ' and: have . strong sensibilities and they seem to know' what erring classmates need to be checked from wrong desires and doings. The common good must be uppermost in the minds of all. Children have that common sense approach. Through conversation, dialogues, debates, discussion, some tried and true sayings from the world's most read book reveals: "Spare the rod and spoil the child; Out of the mouths of babes ... A little child shall lead them,'* * Yours truly, I Mrs. B. Farenholtz ■■..':, L.Comerford • K. Lovegrove C. Uszkalo 1. Redekopp' N.Green PaulEsposito ,.,,.,; ... TJ. Ross ,' ._ ■;.'

But to a far greater extent we grieve for you poor souls responsible for this action. We want you to know we prayedfor you last Sunday. Jesus Christ prayed for those who hurt him- canwedoless?

We'd love to listen. , • It might be worth repeating what Judge Philip Gilliam, of Denver, Colorado, gave as advice to a group of young people of his community. It was by way of an answer to the cry of many high school age boys and girls, "What can we do? Where can we go?" "Go home!" the judge says. "Hang the storm windows, paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves, mow the lawn, shovel snow. Wash the car, learn to cook, scrub the floors. Repair the sink, build a boat, get a job. Help the minister, priest or rabbi. Visit the sick, help the poor, study your lessons. And when you are through — and not too tired — read a good book. "Your parents do not owe. you entertainment. Your city or village does not owe you a living. You owe the world something. You owe it your time and energy and your talents so that no one will be at war or in poverty or sick or lonely again. "In plain, simple words, GROW UP, quit being a crybaby, get out of your dream world, and develop a backbone, not a wish-bone, and start acting like a man or a lady. You're supposed to be mature enough to accept some of the responsibility your parents have carried for years. They have nursed, protected, helped, appealed, begged, excused, tolerated and denied themselves many things so that you could have every benefit. "This they have done gladly, for you are their dearest treasure. But now, you have no right to expect them to bow to - your every whim and fancy just because selfish ego instead of common sense dominates your personality, thinking and requests. In heaVen's name, grow up and go home." Yours faithfully, Immanuel Lutheran Aldergrove Congregation An opportunity will arise Editor, The Star, Dear Sir, From his point of view Bob McClelland readily admits he doesn't know what he is talking about when he "jumped" aboard to help the protestors concerning permission from the pollution board to continue fer- ' tilizing our fields. I see he likes to help protestors and I fear there could be one of those terrible uprisings in South America or the Middle East. Until then he seems concerned about finances, frankly, I am too! The F.B.I. spends large sums of money to purchase1 trained bloodhounds, to assist their agents. This service, could be rendered by some of our more perceptive neighbors. Yours truly, Kathleen Hay 979 -264th St., Aldergrove Growers must be subsidized Editor, The Star, Dear Sir, You can not simply tell a man "you have a piece of land, you are now a farmer, now produce". There has to be some incentive for anybody to invest time and money into any project. W6 are a free people, not serfs. The government's landfreeze is the wrong way to go about saving the larger blocks of land. If you want to save these larger blocks of land from five acres up, this must be done through tax incentives, be they full time farms, part time farms, hobby farms or even speculative holdings. In this way it could be done. • If you want more produce to keep bringing down the price of food, then you will have to subsidize the grower directly, as he can no longer produce food of any kind under the present system. . The producer will have to be compensated directly indirect relation to whatever he grows, and not through some organization like a feed company, wholesaler, etc., as when this is done the grower very seldom benefits from these subsidies. They always seem to get lost in administrative costs or are calculated into profits, so the producer sees very little, if any, of the benefits. Also, something must be done in the way of subsidies for labor, skilled or otherwise, in order to allow farmers and ordinary house owners to hire people to do normal repairs. There are thousands of jobs going begging, simply because people cannot afford to hire anybody.

"Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our country." ffitV/ons r Joy become entangled in religion. "In this country," theSupreme Court said, "it is no part of the business of government to compose official prayers for any group of the American people to recite as part of a religious program carried on by government.... That purely religious function ... (should be left) to the people themselves and to those people they choose to look to for religious guidance." Though the Supreme Court delivered its controversial ruling more than ten years ago, public-school prayers have surfaced as one of the emotional political issues of the 1970's. Opinion polls claim 90 percent of Americans favor such prayers. In their March presidential preference primary, Floridians by a 4-to-l margin said they favor an amendment to the Federal Constitution to allow prayer in public schools. Dear <H V/hcn you jot elected A i <j Sou jet *\l fWe vottS ? Two short prayers. Each came from the lips of public school students. The first rose from the lips of a youth obviously faced with a challenge. Such meaningful, personal prayers - and some, perhaps, a bit more desperate, especially in new math and physics classes - ascent heavenward as students pause to pray before their race with the clock. The second prayer was composed by a New York governmental agency trying to come up with a prayer that would be acceptable to everyone — except, perhaps, to agnostics, atheists, and a few other assorted unbelievers. The United States Supreme Court considered objections to this prayer and in the case of Engel I v.

But did the Supreme Court banish prayer from American classrooms? Or has the American public been misled, somewhat, by emotion? The Supreme Court. did banish state-composed, state-conducted religious exercises from public schools. But personal prayer by individuals remains permissible. Basing its decision on the First Amendment to the Constitution, the Supreme Court justices put religious instruction where it belongs in our society of many faiths — with our families and our churches. The Supreme Court pointed out that the American colonies were founded largely by, men and women who left Europe and its state religions and persecutions to "find a place in which they could pray when they pleased to the God of their faith in the language they chose. And their were men of this same faith in the power of prayer 'I i ^**y Rlck\ petitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking" (Matthew 6:6,7). HtmpA who led the fight for adoption ....(of) our Bill of Rights with the very guarantees of religious freedom that forbid the sort of governmental activity which New York has attempted." It is important that men and women — and public-school children — use "the language they choose" in prayer? The apostle John said, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship htm in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). Christ said, "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

The Truth That Heals CHRISTIAN SCIENCE RADIO SERIES CKVN KPUG Vancouver Bellingham Sunday Sunday 7:45 a.m. 9:45 a.m. 1410 KC 1170 KC Is the New York Regents' prayer a personal prayer, seeking God in "spirit and in truth"? Or does it come closer, perhaps, to a "vain repetition," something Christ Himself condemned? Indeed, a Lutheran pastor in New York branded the Regents' prayer unchristian, a sacrilege. How can a prayer be Christian, He asked, when it fails to mention the name of Christ? Compare the Regents' prayer with "Children's Letters to God." Which come closer to being petitions to God "in spirit and in truth"? Despite what most Americans believe, students across the land have the right to bow their heads and personally petition their Lod, in the language of their choice, to be with them in their classes and examinations. Perhaps even today one prayed, "Dear God, help adults to see the wisdom of keeping the state out of the religion business."

Treasure hunt team-mates Cindy, Wendy, Sue and Rosemary are team-mates onatrea- sure hunt. They are looking for the best kind of wealth — people. Under an LIP grant from the federal government three of the girls will take to the Fraser Valley roads in their quest The fourth, like the little piggy • in the nursery rhyme, will stay home. Cindy Lee Patty of Mission will survey bookmobile service for the Fraser Valley regional library and after a few months come up with recommendations for improvement. \ Many of the systems 178 stops ': which have been used by the Valley people for decades are in need of change to better locations because the boom of branch library building by municipalities, especially in Surrey, has rendered them no longer useful. It will be Cindy's job to find out from people where changes should be made. Another young lady from the Mission area, Wendy Isley of Dewdney, will query existing local library services to shut- ins and make recommendations regarding the possibility of extending these services throughout the Valley as part of the regional library's program. Wendy's travels will take her far beyond the central valley area to Hope, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs, Port Coquitlam and into Richmond, White Rock, Surrey and Delta. So far, Wendy Isley has visited branch libraries, senior citizens' homes and community services groups, but will be branching out to other organizations including churches and rest homes and, of course, to the ultimate treasure, individuals who like to read but who cannot get to where the books AUDIO-VBUAL What do Valley people want in their libraries beside books? Music records, 8-mm films, microfilm, cassettes, picture collections, slides? That is what still another Missiongirl, Sue Sweeney, will try to find out between now and the end of May when the LIP project ends. For 42 years a book-oriented library system and latterly the proud owner of some 1100-odd 16 mm films (which makes it the largest library film collection in the lower mainland), the Fraser Valley regional library wants to go mod with audio-visual equipment and services. But what do people want? How much will it cost? Which branches can provide the service? What, where, why and when Sue' Sweeney will try to find the answers. And the one who stayed at home? That's Rosemary Mac- Millan of Abbotsford whose task it will be to type up reports from the Mission impossible team of researchers. Rosemary, of course, has a desk in the Fraser Valley regional headquarters and between assignments turns out good typed copy for catalogue cards and other library work. Any queries about the girls and their treasure hunt for data and people can be answered at 859-7141 in Abbotsford. It may be an LIP service for the library but the girls are sincere in their desire to help.

FEBRUARY 21, 1973 m Abbotsford Bond Festival in May by Bob Singleton Plans are well underway for the 15th annual Abbotsford International Band Festival May 11 and 12. It appears that these could be the biggest two days the festival has seen since its inception in 1958. There have been requests for syllabi from Saskatchewan, Alberta, Oregon and as far away as Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. One unique entry already received, is from an Alberta Indian drum and dance group. It is planned to have the group performing on the streets of Abbotsford andClearbrook during the festival. As in the past, the sponsoring Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce group is attempting to obtain the services of the finest band festival adjudicators from both Canada and the United States. Already confirmed are Vern Nicklaus, Director of Music for Federal Way school district in Washington state, Professor Frank Greer, last year's director of bands at Tennessee State University in Nashville, Professor Don McKellar, assistant Dean of Music at the University of Western Ontario, and Bobby Herriot of Delta, one of the most sought after adjudicators and clinicians in North America. The people of the Matsqui- Abbotsford area are responsible for much of the success of the festival. The residents take as many as 1,300 visiting young bandsmen into their homes as billets each year. No other community in B.C., Canada, or perhaps the entire continent becomes so involved in an event of this type. The Abbotsford Band Festival is one of the larger in Canada and has gained recognition by musicians all over North America. The Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce and the Band Festival Committee urge area residents to mark May 11 and 12 on their calendars as Band Festival Weekend 1973.

A grizzly bear with an unpleasant nature attacked Aspeslet and mauled him badly. Malcolm escaped death at the paws of the mighty mammal, but he did not escape entirely. The bear left, him with injuries to the face. Time dragged on, and eventually Malcolm Aspeslet was ready to undergo plastic surgery to restore his face to what it was before his run-in with Mother Nature. By this time Aspeslet had left his home in Alberta and was living in British Columbia, employed as a chef with Fuller's Restaurant on the King George Highway in Surrey. When he announced that he was going to have plastic surgery, his company understandably informed him that until the surgery was complete he could not work with food.

Malcolm Aspeslet left his job, on the understanding that his employer would have a position waiting for him when the medical requirements had been met. Aspeslet has no argument with his employer at all, in fact he says they have been quite understanding through the whole affair. But at this point in time he finds that he has no income, and no way of getting an income. After he was hired by Fuller's, Aspeslet worked for six months during which he paid faithfully into Unemployment Insurance Commission, funds. Now that he finds he needs that money back, however, he is also finding that pay cheque deductions can be a one-way strGGt A councillor at the UlC offices has informed him that he does not qualify for any reimbursement because he is unemployable. Apparently he is willing to take work, but because of his frequent visits with medical men his hours are rather erratic. As a result of this there are not many employers who can find a place for him in their organizations. Thus the UIC: considers Malcolm Aspeslet unemployable and ineligible for their services. When he asked to speak to someone of authority about the matter, Malcolm reports he was told by the councillor that she had all the authority required to handle the situation. Feeling that perhaps he was in the wrong offices after all, Aspeslet paid a visit to the welfare offices. The result was much the same. Aspeslet has a piece of recreational property in Sudden Valley, Washington. Sudden Valley is a recreational development for people who like to get away from it all once in a while. According to the officials, people on welfare should not have to get away from it all once in a while. They told him that if he wants money he should sell his property. Aspeslet protests that if you own a house and need welfare,: you are not required to sell your house, so why should he have to sell his land in Sudden Valley, Malcolm Aspeslet is lucky about- one thing; he has a girl friend but no children to support. Malcolm is twenty-one, single, and one more thing - he's in trouble. I received a card from Mrs. R.J. Nicholl who is having a grand holiday in WaikHd. The place is filled with tourists and just ten minutes walk to the beach, I must say it does look inviting. They sit and watch the breakers rolling in, the weather is cool, sunny and windy, she said, and she wishes to be remembered to all here at home. Friday's whist in the O.A.P. hall saw six, tables playing. Winners were for the ladies: High, Mrs. Ida Gundersonand low, Mrs. Frank Corbett. Gents: High, Mr. E. Goodlson, low, Mrs. Zubick (playing as man). We had an enjoyable afternoon. Friday evening some of us went to a smorgasbord at the Legion and their ladies always serve such a nice variety of foods, piping hot! A real good crowd turned out regardless of the rain. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Mr. Frank Erickson and family in the loss of a wife, mother and grandmother. She was a good friend and neighbor and will always be remembered. A dance was held in the O.A.P. hall Saturday evening and everyone had a good time. Just a reminder about the OAP bus trip to "The Great Waltz" on Wednesday, February 28.

It is much the same with me, and so, although I am not at this moment dying, I shall be doing so one of these days and I want to send you a parting word of good-bye. Remember, it is the last you will hear from me, so think it over. I have had a most happy life and I want each of you to have as happy a life too. I believe that God put us in this jolly world to be happy and enjoy life. Happiness doesn't come from being rich, nor merely from being successful in your career, nor by self- indulgence. One step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are a boy, so that you can be useful and so can enjoy life when you are a man. Nature study will show you how full of beautiful and wonderful things God has made the world for you to enjoy. Be contented with what you have got and make the best of it. Look on the bright side of things instead of the gloomy one. But the real way to get happiness is by giving out happiness to other people. Try and leave this world a little better than you found it and when your turn comes to die you can die happy in feeling that at any rate you have not wasted your time but have done your best. "Be Prepared" in this way, to live happy and to die happy — stick to your Scout Promise always — even after you have ceased to be a boy — and God help you to do it. Your friend, Baden Powell Membership has shot op this year Aldergrove United Church hall was packed to the limit Monday evening when it was the location of the Aldergrove cub and scout Father and Son banquet. At this time last year there were a few cub scouts, but the full fledged scout troops were not even off the ground. Marshall Cronkite, an active scout leader in the Aldergrove area, was asked Tuesday what has happened to the membership over the past year. He said last year the scouts were faded out. completely, and cub scouts were on i. steady decline with only one pack operating, this year he said the cub scouts have increased to two packs and a total of about 40 boys. A scout troop has also been started and it has about 13 boys in it. Both the scout and the cub scout groups are still growing. If you have a child you feel may be interested in becoming a cub or a scout, you may have him enrolled by phoning Marshall Cronkite at 856-2638.

Mothers to dine with girls A mother and daughter banquet will be held on Thursday at the Legion hall in Aldergrove. Present will be every last one of the Brownies and Guides in the Aldergrove area, and of course their mothers. Mrs. Betty Rowe has extended a hearty invitation to all mothers of Guides and Brownies as she has done to The Star. We will be there with our candid camera, and we hope to find all the mothers there asweU. This is a job with a real pioneering flavor and will enable you to get in some useful practice at lashing and axe- manshlp. If soundly constructed, this house on stilt?, such as built by natives living in regions liable to flooding, would be a star attraction at your next lakeside campside or your next fund raising project. A hut similar to the one illustrated was built by the writer's own troop and aroused great interest. Apart from being an exhibition showpiece, the lakeside dwelling for your permanent dwelling would make a novel feature for your permanent campsite so that you could sleep upstairs for a change! The chief consideration is obtaining the four corner poles, such should be about 12 feet or 15 feet in length. Not only do they ac' as the "stilts" but also as the corner posts of the hut itself, extending up to the eaves. In addition to these four uprights, you will also need eight stout poles to form the main framework. Lighter timber could be used for the four ridge-poles of the roof. If you intend to inhabit the dwelling, several poles of not less than 1%-ihch diameter must be laid to form the floor. The walls could be of withy or hazel sticks spaced 3 inches or 4 inches apart. The same applies to the sloping roof. It is to these sticks thatthethatching must be secured. The thatching is the most difficult part of the job. Long wheat straw is ideal. It should be by Trevor Holloway tied into small bundles, and the bundles themselves tied to the framework sticks of the walls and roof. The bundles should be laid after the manner of roof ing tiles - one partly under the one above in order to carry off the rain. It is easiest to start at the bottom of a wall and work upwards. Scouts may prefer to use reeds instead of straw, which of course is the way the real stilt houses are built in tropical regions. When building the front wall of the hut, don't forget to make provision for a semi-circular opening for the door. This should be about 3 ft. 6 ins. high and 2' ft* wide. A, couple of pliable withy sticks could be bent to form the semi-circular frame of the doorway. Be sure that the ladder leading up to the entrance is really well made. Remember, this is supposed to be a genuine pioneering job -nails and screws are definitely "taboo"! It's a case of lashings of lashings! If you use a clove-hitch as your foundation knot for withstanding downward thrust, you can rest assured it won't let you down -in more senses than one! You will find it easiest to- do most of the construction work on the ground. The whole erection can then be hoisted into an upright position by means of ropes. If the hut is to be more or less permanent, set the legs about 18 inches into the ground. You should have a good stout guy-rope at each corner. It adds a touch of realism if you plant some bulrushes around the dwelling if you build it for exhibition purposes.

Preston was speaking of a motion which passed three to four Monday morning, giving council's sanction to a development on the Herb Mufford land on Glover Road andSmithCres- cent. The motion concerned was made by Aid. Bill Blair and seconded by Aid. Walt Jensen, and it stated that council will officially record its opinion that development on the Mufford land had, "substantially commenced", prior to December 22nd. Under the terms of reference in the provincial government's farmland freeze, any development which a town council deems 'substantially commenced' prior to that date, may proceed without being interrupted by the freeze regulations. This means that council has in essence given approval to the plan. Meanwhile, council members and their senior staff are trying desperately to find a legal and responsible interpretation to a new directive from the provincial government. The new directive (see page ) further defines the guidelines set down in the original freeze document. Some members are also trying to find a legal way to quash Monday morning's 4-3 decision. Mayor George Preston, Aid. Gary Smith, and Aid. Andy Milne all voted contrary to Blair's sweeping motion and they are now trying to find a way to lessen its effects. Mayor Preston has stated that he feels the council may have broken the law when it passed that motion, and he has stated he is prepared to fight against the motion at a higher level. The mayor said his main objection to the plan is that it is contrary tothe regional plan, and it will in his mind, probably not receive okay from the provincial government. He told The Star Tuesday that the government is planning to expose detailed legislation this Thursday which will eventually replace the freeze entirely. He said it would have made more sense to wait for the details of that legislation to be released before passing the Mufford application. Aid. Gary Smith on Monday night said the whole thing is a matter of sematics. He said he does not think that all of council realize that the Centennial plans The cost of the permanent project commemorating Langley's 100th birthday as a corporation was balked at by council members. The projected cost of the commemorative garden presented by the birthday committee was $30,000. Council delegated Aid. Dan Kitsul to review the plans and make an alternative proposal for the present municipal hall site. Aid. Kitsul presented plans including a scenic pool, garden and a patio. The estimated cost of this using municipal labor was $10-12,000. The birthday committee approved this plan. Other projected costs in the budget for celebrating Langley's 100th birthday include $150.00 for trophies for the Kinsmen sportsday. Thursday, April 26 has been designated as "The" day, being the date of corporation. The program for that day has been drawn up as follows: 12:00 Noon - Luncheon for descendants of petitioners, committee and council. 2:00 p.m. - Official dedication of 'Centennial Garden' and placing of Time Capsule. 2:30 p.m.-Council meeting.

A motion was made by Smith that morning to table the matter until council could study the terms of the newest directive from the provincial government persuant to the farmland freeze, but Smith claims it was 'talked down' before it could get a seconder. Of course there are two sides to any story and this one is no exception. Aid. Walter Jensen was asked Monday night, on what basis the motion had been formed. He said that in his mind work had substantially begun on the site prior to the order in council to freeze farmland. He noted that a fence had been placed around the building area, some bulldozing had taken place, and a substantial sum had been spent on professional help from design architects and draftsmen. "I feel* these people went ahead in good faith," he said. When asked if he felt the motion was controversial, due to the fact that the laud is class two land and thus considered agricultural under the terms of original freeze document, Jensen replied that he did not. He said that although the land may not be the best for building it isn't the worst either. He also cited that in 1934 one could look out over Fraser Street in Vancouver and see the Chinese people with yokes around their necks farming the land. He said in those days that was all you could see for miles. He said what has happened to Fraser Street is now happening to Langley, no one can save all the farmland in Langley, "it's too late," he said. Aid. Dan Kitsul is a relative new comer to council having been elected for the first time in the December 9 elections. Kitsul sided with Blair, Jensen and Barichello on this issue, but he points out that this does not ammount to a partisan involvement in council affairs. He says he voted for the Blair motion because he felt strongly that it was the right tiling to do. He says he would vote the same way for a Smith, Preston, or Milne motion if he felt it was the right thing to do at the time. Kitsul noted that the Herb Mufford proposal had been given approval in principle before the freeze was introduced and he said this would make it unfair to turn the project down at this stage. He said he was sorry if the others felt they had been railroaded on the issue, but he said that if Mayor Preston had received approval in principle to open a new car lot, he would not like to have it held up this way either. No matter what the two sides of council feel about the matter, the Muffords say they hope to start negotiations in the near future, for a land use contract. Harry Mufford, speaking for his father Herb Mufford, said Monday that they are hoping they do not have to deal with the provincial government or the regional boarr* on this matter. He said he hopes that a land use contract can be successfully negotiated and that this will end the entire mix up. Aid. Dan Kitsul has stated he is prepared to vote in favor of a land use contract, provided the Muffords will agree to whatever terms of reference the council as a whole sets down. This means that if a land use contract is negotiated next week and if the voting pattern remains the same, the last hurdle on the way to development will be leapt by a vote of four to three. Ross report fevors Grove Some months ago, PJ5. Ross and Partners, management consultants of Vancouver made a probe of staff relations and general operation of the Central Fraser Valley regional district. One of the recommendations in their report was that the headquarters of the regional district be moved to Aldergrove from thepresentcrampedquar- ters in the basement of the library building in Abbotsford. Directors at a recent meeting of the Regional District decided to discuss this proposal at the March 19 meeting of the board. An executive committee meeting on February 2 issued a recommendation that immediate action be taken to establish the office in Aldergrove and'that offers be requested for office space from interested parties.

Stupich Minister of Agriculture THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1973 The government will be Langley library booms accessible to all, says Barrett Langley readers borrowed more books at the local branch library in January than during any other month in the past, reports community librarian Gertrude E. Lawrence. The record figure was 15,929 books. In January a year ago the tally was 14,451. More books borrowed by more people. Mrs. Lawrence also reports that a record 282 new registrations were made last month as compared to 231 in January 1972. Library staff are aware of a distinct trend towards non- fiction especially in the adult section. Also noted was the increasing use of the public library by teachers and pupils, and closer co-operation by Langley secondary school authorities. The library's newest wrinkle, the Rent-a-Read plan, allows members to get current best-sellers for a charge of ten cents a day. Mrs. Lawrence says the idea is catching on at Langley and seems to be appreciated. The library at 20355 Douglas Crescent is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturdays from 10 to 5 p.m. Premier Dave Barrett has announced that his government has adopted a policy of direct and equal access for all members of the public. "It is the government's earnest desire to be available and serve the people of British Columbia," said Barrett. "It will not be necessary for anyone to go through an intermediary to have equal access to this government." Barrett advised that the best way to contact a government minister or the premier would be to write directly to the individual concerned and outline in the letter the specific re quest. "This government will not use individuals or public relations firms as contact points for access to the government. Any individual, group or organization that wishes to contact the government should do so directly through their MLA, a particular cabinet minister or the premier," said Barrett. He said the New Democratic Party government's policy will be that individuals outside the government service will have no authority to act for the government in initiating contacts with the government. "Without making any refer ence to past practice, it will be the policy of this government that approaches should be made in writing directly by the individuals concerned," said Barrett. Barrett added that since the provincial election all ministers have been receiving an unprecedented flood of mail. "I want to thank the people who are struggling to keep up with this mail and I assure the members of the public who have sent us letters that their requests are being handled as quickly as possi- handled as quickly as possible."

You haven't? Well, then you should come to Ottawa and watch your MPs perform. What kind of bait would prompt an otherwise pretty normal-looking bunch of guys to behave like trained seals? The bait is an opportunity' to direct an oral question to a Cabinet Minister. The daily oral question exercise is just about the Only thing around here worth watching airy more. It's the question period that fills the visitors' galleries and more importantly, the press gallery. At most other times Parliament is pretty dull, so dull - and as a result poorly attended - that you could shoot guns off in the place without hitting a soul. After all, the way the mail piles up what MP can afford to waste his time listening to an Honourable Member droning on about the urgent need for a new cul- ,. vert in Moosegroin, Sask? But during question period the joint begins to jump - and the Hon. Member from Moose- , groin forgets his culvert and $i is transformed immediately in- f| to a veritable tiger, the pace p. is briks, exchanges can be | sharp, tough, sarcastic, some- ■,:.., times even angry, and then in a moment something funny happens and the whole House dissolves into laughter and good humour prevails. Because dynamic rather than dull events make news, more journalistic attention is paid to the question period than any other. It's the daily questions directed to Ministers that determine the bulk of the TV news stories you see each night. Should a big news story break - say an oil spill - any number of MPs will be writhing for a chance to ask questions about it, and incidentally hoping for an invitation to comment on it, preferably before the cameras. So the pressure on members to "get on" the question period is very great. And with the prospect of this being Market Report Total receipts for the week at West Coast Auctions were 734 cattle, 30 hogs and 14 sheep. Cows were stronger, medium veal was lower and feeders were steady. ■ The following prices were noted: good steers $37.00 - 41.00, medium and Holstein steers $28.00 - 36.50, good heifers $34.00 - 37.00, plain and medium heifers $26.00 - 33.50, best Holstein cows $25.00 - 29.80, good beef cows $26.00 - 31.00, canners and cutters $15.00 - 24.50 and bulls $28.00-33.70. Butcher hogs soldfor $36.00- 39.25, sows $23.25 -26.75, -and good lambs $33.25. Good veal was $48.00-59.75, medium veal $37.00 - 47.50 and baby calves (each) $30.00 - 102,00. Good feeder steers were $38.00 - 45.60, good feeder heifers $34.00 - 39.00, medium and Holstein feeders $30.00 - 37.50 and good steer calves $48.00-56.00* a very short Parliament, competition to catch the Speaker's eye, especially for new members, is intense. Today, because the combined opposition has mushroomed from 112 to 155 it is even more difficult than before for members to raise questions of urgent local concern in the allotted forty minutes. Compoundingtheproblem even further is the tradition of precedence in Parliament which gives a declining order of rank to members from the front row of benches to the fifth. So in practice the new member, trying desperately to prove to his constituents that he is indeed "speaking out" on their behalf as promised, frequently finds he is shut out by Diefenbaker or some other veteran who uses his front bench position to fritter away limited parliamentary time. The problem has become so serious that we're almost at the stage of a backbencher's revolt on Mr. Speaker, a normally fairly relaxed man who, in attempting to cope with the problem, has recently developed a noticeably nervous twitch. But being vocal and visible in the House of Commons may not be as important as it is cracked up to be. Nervous freshmen MPs should be comforted by the record of Silent Bob McGregor from Toronto who survived 36 years here with out uttering a sound. Mr. McGregor, in all his years here made but one speech and this single utterance occurred just before the 1962 election. And Silent Bob was defeated. ONJGA/N OFF AGAIN POWER OUTAGE Langley, or at least a part of Langley, was stricken by a power outage Tuesday which plagued Hydro maintenance staff a good portion of the day. Two circuits in the Cloverdale sub-station went out at 10:20 in the morning and were restored by 11:55, but it was not long before the whole game started again. At 12:15 the whole Cloverdale station went dead blacking out an entire area bounded on the north by the 401 freeway, on the west by 152nd Street, on the south by 24th Avenue, and on the east by 205th Street. Hydro public relations officials in Vancouver reported that although not all the.lights in this area were out, a very large part was. The power was restored for the final time at 12:42 p.m. The cause of the outage had not been determined at press time, but officials were speculating on transformer problems. , Regional district opposes pipeline The Central Fraser Valley regional district has given qualified support to the municipality of Delta which opposes plans of Shellpac to construct a solids pipeline from southeastern B.C. to the coast. The line would be used to move coal in slurry form. Delta is concerned at more land in the Fraser Valley being given over to a corridor for such a line and maintains the present method of moving large quantities of coal by train is bad enough. Already B.C. resources minister Bob Williams has condemned the pipeline proposal until more is known of the proposal and its effect on the environment. ■ CLASSIFIEDS Cameras (Professional Services C.

The first half was havoc and Langley rarely emerged from its own end. The whistle sounded-with Sports Club down 1-0 and lucky to have such a small margin. After the rest period and going uphill they came to life,, Bel Aire was boxed in and pressed unmercifully until the equalizer came with just five minutes remaining. Eager for victory they exerted pressure with a ten man forward line. Alas, two breakaways and five minutes later it ended 3-1 Bel Aire. So much for the sevens this year. Under James Kitsul's direction LSC div. 5 marched onward. Bel Aire Hotspurs were the victims and it was no contest, really. Langley won out 5-2 courtesy of Hoschka 3, Hnatiak 1 and Frinskie 1. Passing was actually quite good, and team play is there for sure this time. It will need to be, as not all opponents are going to be that easy. Div. 4 Legion continued their own parade, gunning Guildford in their usual merciless fash ion. To be perfectly candid, though, their last easy win did not do the club any good. For the first several minutes the losers who are not a.first- rate side were playing even- up ball and Langley's usual dynamic attack showed hesitancy and an inability to cap- italize on opportunities. It is to be hoped that by next week they will be able to play lethal soccer throughout the contest. LSC Vikings, 4th div., have proceeded into the third round. They squeaked past PoCo 4- 3. Aldergrove Legion too, emerged" on the long end of a toughie. Short two top ballplayers and trailing 14) to Port Moody Arctic they rallied, winning 3-1. Goals were by Jeff Meyer 2, Rob Charlton 1. "It was a good team effort all round," stated coach Harry Larsen, but goalie Rob Mout was particularly outstanding, he made several stands which were key to winning the match. Despite their dramatic come- f rom4»ehind half time situation the boys had it in hand by the final whistle in two ways.

Goals came from DesJarlais land Reeves 2. League play saw div. 3 IOOF who reached their zenith last week, approaching nadir.

DONS SWAMPED SY CHILLIWACK ROYALS Dons were drowned by Chilliwack Royals 4-1 in what our informant described as a disgusting exhibition. The referee, he felt, did not ride herdclose- ly enough on the rough stuff and the winners are accused of making a successful strategy of physical intimidation. Dons retaliated, he said, and in doing so, played into their hands. "We lost the game ourselves," he said. Hank Klynsoon scored for Aldergrove to ruin the shutout. Juvenile play saw div. 6 LSC lose 24) to Whalley in a league fixture. Langley's play was improved somewhat over the last encounter, but not enough to mark the scoreboard. And in exhibition matches div. 2 LSC Aldergrove FJn- tracht pulled off a high-class victory. Richmond Norwest- ers, touted to be B.C.'s finest this season fell victim. The first half showed some fine ball and ended 14. The remainder of the fray degenerated into rough stuff andref WayneSager was hard pressed to avert mayhem. It ended with Eintracht coming dramatically from behind to mae it 3-2 in the final seconds. The LSC management used the exhibition to experiment with some rather startling lineup combinations. And finally in div. 3 triumphant Richard Prediger reports that his LSC side is at last hitting stride. They tied none oilier than Cliff Avenue United 14 in Burnaby. Until four minutes from finish it looked like Mallishe's counter might stand up to win it, but even a draw in that company is rare material. The coach announces a new winger, Graham Picardy whom, he says, gives the front line all of the class it could possibly need. FINANCING FOR BUSINESS Messrs. G.J. Whitney & M.C.
