Five-year Langley budget proposed Langley municipal finance chairman Gary Smith told his fellow councilmen this week that Langley needs to begin making their financial plans five years in advance. In the past, the council has been operating on a five-year capital expenditure program, but this is a little different than a five year budget. Theprevious program simply meant that council would spread their collection of funds for major projects out over a period of five years. But the five-year budget means that they would make all fiscal plans five years in ftdv&HC6 "Because Langley needs so many things ,"said Aid. Smith, "it will be desirable to prepare projections as to what specific needs have to be filled at what point in time."' Another recommendation Gary Smith made this week was to ask the Victoria government to lift its ceiling on tax assessment. He said this action would allow the district to tax its residents at a more 'realistic level*. He was speaking mainly, about cases such as his own personal case, in which one owns a piece of land which is more valuable than the buildings which sit oh it. In Smith's opinion, people who own such land tracts should pay a reasonable rate of taxes on their acreage unless they are farming their land sufficiently to qualify for farmland exemption. Smith's remarks sparked off a discussion on taxes by other aldermen., Aid. Andy Milne expressed surprise about the height of taxes some people living in the new sub-divisions pay. Aid. Kitsul added that some people are living on 5- acre lots with'nothing but a beaten up old road for services and yet they are still paying up to $600 a year in taxes. Gary Smith agreed with all of the remarks saying, "The incentive should be more toward people trying to keep their places up rather than letting them run down." He said that it may be a better idea to assess homes on subdivisions by the block rather than the individual home. Aid. Andy Milne added as a point of information, that the assessment departmenthad found some time ago that if the farm exemption was lifted entirely, many people, including some of the people that would have their exemption lifted, would begin paying lower taxes. Smith said that if the changes he proposes, or at least the proposal regarding the five-year budget, were in fact introduced, it would take at least two years for any significant change to show its face. Smith also said that things have gone 'out of whack* over the years because the ceiling on tax assessment has increased at a rate of about 10 per cent per year while the price of some land tracts has shot up 4 or 6 fold. Aid. Bill Blair said he would like to see some itemized examples of inequities in the tax structure before he endorses Smith's proposals. Smith has agreed to deliver a report citing individual instances. -Western carnival The County Line elementary school will be staging a Western Carnival oh Friday, February 16 between the hours of 7:30 and 10 p.m. in the school on Kendall Road. 2,005 acres bought at Coghlan - County Line n Farmland freeze no problem, say new owners A 2,005 acre North Aldergrove property was recently bought for an undisclosed price by two B.C. companies with plans for a 1,200-acre farm operation and 805 acres of small farm property development. Joachim Grubner, honorary •consul tor Chile, said last week he represents two companies recently formed with Canadian capital to develop the farm properties. He said there is no foreign capital involved and the only connection with Chile is that some Canadians of Chilean background are among the backers. Grubner said the Jan. 1 provincial government announcement of a freeze on farmland development is not regarded as a problem because of the farm land-use proposed for the property. Plans are not completed, Grubner said but the large property probably will be used mainly for raising beef cattle with perhaps some Christmas tree farming and perhaps a game farm also to be considered. "Price is one thing we are not prepared to discuss," he said. No satelite city A real estate source said the property, formerly owned by Grosvenor-Laing (B.C.) Ltd., is in an area where small- lot prices now range from $5,000 to $11,000 an acre. The same source said prices about 15 years ago when the land was purchased by Grosvenor-Laing were about $1,200 an acre. Grubner said there are no plans for the firms to seek re- zoning for residential or industrial development and he denied a rumor of possible development of a satellite city on the property. The companies involved are Gloucester Properties Ltd., of 1610-1177 West Hastings, and Chichester Farms Ltd.Gloucester is handling the smallholdings acreage while Chichester has the large acreage property that is to become a single farm operation. The property, a mixture of Land use contract criticism Aid. Spud Murphy told Matsqui council last night a land use contract for the Baxford Development shopping centre on South Fraser Way is loosely written and may come back to haunt some future council. He suggested the wording of the contract be tightened up to eliminate any future problems. At one instance he pointed to the provision for an eventual overpass on Glad- wyn Road in case the centre ever should expand westward. He said the overpass should be defined either as a pedestrian or a vehicular overpass. Council took no action on his stand. On Thursday a public hearing will be held in the old M.E.I. gymn to examine the revised land use contract. The document has already beengiv- en two readings by Matsqui council. Anyone can attend the meeting in Clearbrook. Two more readings later this month will finalize the contract. farmland, bush and hill country with deep ravines, lies roughly north of the Trans- Canada- Highway and east of 256th Street in the County Line area of Aldergrove. Socred shadow govt.formed Two Fraser Valley opposition members of the B.C. legislature have been given appointments in a Social Credit "shadow government".

NAN KILLED IN HIWAY MISHAP Matsqui police have released the name of a man killed in an accident on the Fraser Highway Monday night. He was 21 year old Donald Richard HaUdorson whose mother resides at the Aldergrove Trailer Court. According to the police report he was driv ing east about 6:15 p.m. when he smashed into a tractor trailer unit loaded with bailed hay. The trailer was backed across the highway to enter a driveway. The car smashed under the trailer and wound up in the ditch with the top torn off. Build ing code delay ed Adoption of the National Building Code as Langley's new building by-law has been delayed one week by district councilmen. The code is a federal document which was written by the federal government in hopes that it would be adopted all over the nation, and thus would standardize building by-laws a- cross Canada. The National Building Code is more severe than existing building by-laws in Langley according to building inspector P. Jarvis. In fact, when he presented the document to council this week for acceptance, he noted that it demanded all homes to have exterior finish on them before an occupancy permit would be granted. Jarvis said this might hurt die small man, meaning people who build their own homes, and he suggested that when the code is adopted, council may wish to omit tint pas- trative policies. The reason the code.has been held up for one week is to give councilmen, Aid. BUI Blair in particular, a chance to study the effects the code will have on the construction of farm buildings. Among the requirements in the document is one which states that homes in urban areas will have to have a minimum of 800 square feet of floor space. Also, council feels that builders who build on slabs will have to "change their procedure somewhat. Aid. Gary Smith claims that adoption of the code by all the municipalities in Canada would drop housing costs. He says that standardized budding by-laws would also standardize the building products used in the construction of an everyday home. This, hefeels, would lead to lower building material costs. Matsqui may move to control population growth The only part Langley will be sure to turn down is the first portion of the code, a portion which deals entirely with administration policies. Couricil has already stated that they will simply use the working part of the code, and combine it with existing adminis- Mayor Doug Taylor of Matsqui said a start should be made into long range studies of allowable population density, in the urban areas of Matsqui district. He quoted from a report by planning consultant Ray Olson, who stated that within twenty years the urban Matsqui area could have a population of 100,000 people. Some council members feel that there is little that can be done about controlling the population density in the area, although Mayor Taylor has stated that Olson has previously given sound advice on controlling population densities, in such matters as apartment construction. Stimulation to development in the urban area is likely to result from the recent announcement by federal Urban Affairs Minister Ron Basford that federal money is tobepro- vided in the amount of at least $100-million dollars a year, to assemble land for development of satellite communities away from major cities. o o H, Tl H O < B'. o r-" t—' r CD O * HA*w&^*smii*cM*mmmt&ff^""^Jb>*<---'» .vajgXjtt'&.iiaStiviij alt&HVw THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1973 Langley Memorial Hospital Facilities could be better In recent weeks, the staff of Langley Memorial Hospital has been under constant, and damaging fire from members of the general public. Letters have been written to editors of this and other newspapers, and the local NDP members are demanding that their powerful friends in Victoria investigate the situation. The curious thing throughout the whole farrago is that no one has mentioned or heard from the Regional Hospital Board. This board is made up of appointed councilmen from Abbotsford, Matsqui, Langley, and an unincorporated area just east of Abbotsford. There are two hospitals in the area covered by the regional board, one is in Langley and serves the citizens of Langley city and municipality and the other is in Abbotsford and serves the other areas mentioned. ■ Visit the MSA hospital and you will find a physio therapy department that looks spanking new. There is equipment all over the place. Traction beds, four-legged crutches, parallel bars, stationary bicycles, and anything else you care to name. The room is well fitted and appears to be well used too. It looks like something out of TV's Medical Centre. Langley's physio therapy room is another story. The equipment, what there is of it, looks shabby like a turn-stile in a busy subway station. And the room itself is located at the end of a hallway in an outdated building housing the extended care unit, Cedar Hill. This extended care unit is rather like a crowded motel, and although it houses a large number of this municipality's senior citizens, it does not have it's own kitchen facilities. MSA Hospital does not have an extended care wing, although it will have as soon as the regional hospital board can get one constructed. Senior citizens who suffer heart attacks while at the Langley extended care unit often need physio therapy. But they just don't get it and why? Because the needed facilities are not there. The rest of Langley Memorial Hospital is a little newer than the extended care wing, although it is still a far cry from what it should be. It looks as though it may have been quite a monument to the posterity of Langley at one time, but today it is beginning to show the scars of age, and is lacking facilities to handle Langley's surging population growth. To illustrate Langley Memorial's inadequacies, let us compare the layout of this hospital's emergency wing with that of MSA General Hospital's. At the latter, an emergency case arriving by ambulance is carried through the first door in the driveway, the emergency door. He is professionally . hurried out of the vehicle and in through two consecutive doors, and is then immediately in the emergency wing and ready for treatment. At Langley Memorial the emergency door is placed at the back of the complex, as far away from the roadway as it could get. If a patient lives long enough to get to that door he then faces a hallway that looks as though it may connect the Kremlin to the White House. The ambulance people will race you down that hall as fast as their casters will carry you. At MSA Hospital the race with time is taking place in the emergency wing, while at Langley Memorial we are playing Rally Monte Carlo in the hallways with a suffering accident victim. All very amusing, unless you are really sick. If refreshments are your thing, at MSA hospital there is a cafeteria which is large and pleasant. Or at least as large and pleasant as a hospital cafeteria can be. Adjoining the MSA Hospital's cafeteria is a large well-fitted kitchen where everyone seems to have room to move. At Langley Memorial you can have a cup of refreshment from a one-armed bandito in the lobby. Downstairs there is a kitchen where you do not venture for fear of getting an elbow in the breadbasket. To say the least it is cramped. The cafeteria is not large e- nough to accomodate anyone but the staff. A section of the eating area has been cordoned off to make a board room, and in that« room the plans for the extensions on the hospital hang on the walls. Beautiful art work! There are three examining rooms in Langley Memorial, but overcrowding dictates that they be used for housing patients day in and day out. The top floor was never completed. It is still a construction site but it is deserted as though there was a building trades strike at the hospital on a permanent basis. Some time ago the federal government offered $5,000 a bed ,as a subsidy for construction such as the completion of that floor .It was never taken advantage of. The existing elevators are . not adequate to handle the final floor. Comparing MSA Hospital and Langley Memorial is perhaps a bit unfair, since quite a sum of money was voted for in the last hospital referendum to extend and modernize the MSA ' Hospital, while only a token sum was given to Langley for purchasing additional parking facilities. We can only hope the regional board will see fit to bring another referendum about to bring Langley Memorial up to date and fully capable of coping with the population growth of Langley. on commission Bruck Mackinesh, a farmer appointed to Langley district's Advisory Planning Commission at the request of Aid. Bill Blair, has dropped off the list of commission members. Blair had asked for him to be appointed to help give more representation to farmers. Mackinesh, however, sent a letter to council this week stating that he does not have time to serve on the planning group. Mackinesh's letter also suggested a replacement for himself. The replacement has now been placed on the commission roster. He is Floyd Cochrane of Langley. Cochrane is an engineer. Council distrusts CNR's proposal Mayor George Preston of Langley district was not present at Langley council Monday morning and afternoon, but he did have a mayor's report delivered on his behalf by acting mayor BUI Blair. The report dealt mainly with the present circumstances surrounding the railway station at Fort Langley. In reading the mayor's report Bill Blair quoted Mike Fraser of Canadian National Railways who had apparently told Preston that the company's proposed changes in Fort Langley service do'not pose any threat to people who have used the train for years. Fraser said the train carries anywhere from 6 to 10 passengers a day out of the Fort, and for this purposeCNR has one man at the Fort Langley station, working a four- hour day. Under the new plan the station master would be dropped entirely and tickets would be purchased at a down- Delta request turned down by Matsqui Matsqui municipal council has refused to go along with a request from Delta council to oppose a proposal for a solids pipeline from southeastern B.C., to carry coal inslur- ry form to the coast. Delta is opposed to this sort of pipeline and prefers that coal be transported by train, as is done now. Aid. Spud Murphy of Matsqui suggested, "The future may show that this has many advantages, and if there is a better way to move coal we should be looking at it." Council decided to file the Delta request.

Passengers who wish to board the train would then have to go to the station and plug in a red and white lantern which would then signal the train to stop. The old station would also be, replaced by a new shelter. Fraser said the system has been working well in many small towns on the prairies. Council seems to feel that the whole proposal is just a trick on CNR's part to wind down their passenger service. "This is all window dressing," said Aid. Andy Milne. He went on, "They can hardly expect us to endorse this plan when it is pretty clear the people in the community are opposed to any change." Bill Blair, a long-time veteran of Langley district council said, "this would mean an end to the service." CNR claims the old station is on its last legs and ready to collapse, but they added that perhaps council's historic building committee would like to have it renovated as an historic building. Council would like to see it renovated by all means, but the members claim that it could be fixed up and used as a station house for less .than it would cost CNR to make all the changes they are proposing. is just around the corner but.

McClelland says councils should apply Langley MLA Bob McClelland, who also serves as an alderman in the city of Langley, advised his city council this week that they should make application right away for recreational funds from the provincial government. McClelland sent the recommendations by telephone to the city's municipal clerk, from his working place in Victoria. He said the grant would be relative to Bill 76, an order in council which is better known as the Community Recreational Facility Funds Act. City council passed a motion to apply right away for the extra funds heeded for Langley's arena. They also decided to let district council know about McClelland's advice as soon as possible. • -: '. The Langley ice arena had a request for additional funds turned down at the polls in the December 9th municipal elections last year. NDP's must not sit on their fannies Provincial secretary Hans Brown of the NDP party spoke at a party meeting in Langley last week. He told members that the party has restructured its system for collecting membership dues. In the past a new member of the party could join for whatever he could afford to pay, and the member who signed him up would forward that sum to the provincial office. Now a prospective member can still join for whatever price he can afford, but the riding which he signs up in, has to send a minimum of ten dollars in for that membership. , , X Brown said that the cost of running a political party has risen over the years and has reached the point where the NDP's heed more funds to fight their next election, and to pay in the costs of day to day administration of the party. "There's only two sources Of money for a political party; from, your; members or from corporate contributions," said Brown, "and we're not prepared to-go for corporate con* tributions, we have to go to' our members for the additional financing we need." v. The NDP's predict another federal election within- a year and Hans Brown also made some statements about that upcoming battle. "It's going to be a very tough election, and we just have to cast our minds back to 1957 to see that minority situation and the results of the 1958 election." Brown said the results of that election were not very happy for the NDP party,: "They' tan be, much, happier this tune providing we, don't sit on our fannies," he said. : MINI MAC 1 Great New Price only $||495 • Super li|tit«reiijit— just 6.9 lbs." • Sups power— culsa 6" lof in 5 seconds • Super minemerible.

Until now Barichello has been alone in his thinking on the subject, 'but as a result of the last municipal election, he now has an ally. Aid. Dan Kitsul, who was elected on December 9th last year, agrees with Barichello that some houses people wish to bring into Langley district are better than some of the homes which are being built here right now. The subject was raised a- gain this week when two people applied in council to move a specific home from Langley city to Langley district. Both applications were from different people Who are interested in the home. Mrs. M.L.Skolos and Mrs. Marlene Roosen are both contemplating . the purchase of what aldermen admit is one of the better older homes in Langley city. Both people are from the Aldergrove area. Aid. Dan Kitsul indicated he would like to make an exception to the rule in this case, but he offered no motion, probably because it would have had little chance of passing. In the end Kitsul told Mrs. Roosen in jest that he "would suggest some "dark rainy night you pick it up and move it." "We would like to help you, but it doesn't look too good," added Aid. Bill Blair. Dan Kitsul,offered his sympathy to both ladies as they left. Afterwards, he asked his colleagues why it was not possible to have inspections of homes that people wish to bring in. He said the district could charge $50. for the inspection, and if the home passed, it could be moved in. Blair and Smith explained that, this had been the case previously to the by-law's introduction, and they said it was not working out. According to the rest of council, there would .always be a land speculator who would find a home that meets the minimum requirements, and they would move that home in to place it on some land which they intend to sell as a residential lot.

While some of the uncertainty that has been hanging over the investment community will be dispelled, many people in the resource industries were left up in the air about future taxation policies. Premier Barrett had almost a gleam in his eye when he announced during the budget speech that "we are taking a very close look at all our revenues." Some people will take his attitude as another threat to industry, especially in mining, forestry and petroleum. But all of these people now have some breathing space. All in all, however, it is a pretty fair budget, although one must wonder why — considering the healthy state of the public purse — ft was necessary, to raise the corporation tax at all, unless it was a move to try and keep the backbenchers happy. Certainly, there is little else in the budget that would appeal to the more leftist oriented members of the NDP. Having said that the budget is a pretty fair document, there are a few things that can stand some criticism. The plan to raise the mill rate for thousands of rural British Columbians, those who live in un-organized areas could cause extreme hardship unless the increases are phased in gradually. This move is a direct contradiction of Premier Barrett's claim in his budget speech that there will be no increase in individual taxes. The tremendous Increase in Social Assistance payments is extremely alarming. The budget is up 90-million dollars. Of course, about half of this • amount is for the old age pension increases, but it would CENTRAL FRASER VALLEY STAR PUBLICATIONS Independently owned weekly publications serving the Langley and Matsqui districts and published in Aldergrove, British Columbia, Box 220.

I am really worried about Mr. Levi's handling of his depart* • ment - he seems to think that money is the answer to all our social problems. And bis vindictive attacks on the Provincial Alliance of Businessmen and the people who worked for it poses a serious question about his competence. The increase in the education budget will do little more than cover the salary increases for the province's teachers and will not nearly provide for more quality education as claimed by Premier Barrett in his speech. The most noticeable fault in the budget, however, is the pitiful increase in aid to the municipalities. One would have thought this new government would have made a serious attempt to pull the local governments out of the problems they have with financing too many projects that are outside the normal 'service to property' concept that local governments can handle with their limited taxing powers. The $2 per. capita increase (which will give Langley city perhaps $9,000 in additional revenue) is really inadequate. Even that might have been accept* able had the government decided to lower the municipal share of welfare costs, but even that relief was denied. The budget is much like the current topical joke "I have some good news, and some bad news". Fortunately, there is as much good news as bad news in the 1973 'Socialist' edition. Boundaries rite council "They pulled a little stunt again," said Aid. Andy Milne of the federal government. He was referring to the way the federal authorities had handled a public hearing into changes in the electoral boundaries. Langley council was opposed to the changes in the boundaries of the riding of Fraser Valley West and they . were planning to deliver a delegation at tike public hearing to offer the reasoning behindtheir objection. The deadline for such argument has now passed, however, and Milne claims that the government advertised the public hearing 'in such an obscure manner' that it slipped by the aldermen with out them realizing it. It was suggested that council could use the same methods of advertising when they hold a public hearing, and they too would find that they have few people coming forward to object. Ralph Barichello, a long term alderman, noted that Langley council does not operate this way and he said it was hard to accept it from higher up. . Council 4s going to lodge a complaint with the government asking for a chance to support k. their objections with a brief, inspite of the deadline being past. There was some skepticism expressed, but Aid. Andy Milne claimed that there was still a chance that they would be able to have their say. Sleepy Hollow ... and we like it! Editor, The Star, Dear Sir, Some weeks ago there appeared in our local newspaper an article that in substance referred to Fort Langley as a sleepy hollow, or village, and in order to survive or progress, it must awake and push for a greater share of the passing business and prosperity.

We also stand ready to respond wherever help is needed and requested throughout Indochina.

Also the idea of securing a government liquor store for the village literally went down the drain. At this point in our tranquil local history it appeared that once again we had retained the distinction of being labelled a quiet hollow, perhaps a truer description would be semi rural — we do have natural gas or oil for domestic heating, electricity and telephones. But alas the peaceful calm atmosphere of our unique village is being threatened again. This time by a community water system proposed by - well it doesn't. matter at the moment - but I suspect that it stems from the under informed belief that we Fort Langleyites are still living in the past and don't know what is good for us. Fort Langley is approximately a mile square, almost an island, with' the Fraser River on the north, a flood plain valley on the east and the Salmon River on the south and west. This makes this area different in that it is a community literally isolated. (Like a castle with a moat). Water! - we have it on three sides, below us and occasionally above us. Nearly every residencehasit's own private Well and water distribution system. Most of these cost close to $1,000, and in nearly all cases the water is in abundant supply and of good quality. Now who of these residents would want to scrap their good weUs in favor of a costly water works, buy their water from a company or corporation, from a community well, that in all probability has the same source of supply as in their own well. So this is what sqme promoters call progress. Sounds like an expensive carbon copy of a good existing utility. We residents may be classes as sleepy villagers but I am sure we haven't got both eyes closed to this type of "progressive business". In a recent issue, of a local paper a news item indicates' that this plan for a water system would soon be made to the residents of this community.

If this proposed plan becomes an issue to be decided by us, let us remember what we presently have and enjoy as against that which we could lose. Be that as it may it still sounds as if people other than us residents want to force us to change our mode of living. This is our community, we like the way it operates, that is why we choose to live here.' What other centres and cities do is their business, what we do is ours, so let's leave it that way. I mentioned earlier in this letter that Fort Langley was unique. So it is, at least up to this present time. What other place a- round here can you see children ride a bicycle on a side street safely, watchyour neighbors ride their horse on the side of the road, hear cattle in a nearby pasture or observe a pheasant stroll across your back yard. Certainly it is semi rural, but we are happy and content that it is this way. Ask any of the residents why they live here or why they came here. Their simple answer is that they like the way of life here. We have no buses, no heavy traffic, no curb and sidewalks, no skyscrapers, no sprawling shopping plazas, no conventional large city o> dors and smog, and crowds of people rushing frantically in every direction. So if the promotional boat rockers think that we citizens are slow, rustic and content to inhabit a sleepy village, just let it die as a thought and leave us alone. Our big cities are fully equipped with colorful amenities, conveniences, services, high taxes, fumes and city odors. To those individuals or groups who would like to impose these niceties upon us, all I can suggest is to save your efforts and move to the big city with all the Utopian blessings that we Fort Langleyites don't want or need..

I want to express my concern with this application to dump as much as 1.8 million gallons a year of untreated human sewage on the land in this application. Residents in the area have expressed concern in the form of a petition and the Langley School Board has also asked that this application be refused without assurance of adequate treatment For my own point of view, it seems ludicrous that in this day of ecology-consciousness we could even consider such an application. There seems to be a number of reasons for criticism of this application, including, the proximity of the land in question to Patricia School (surely constituting a potential health hazard); the possibility of polluting anatural water course (Chard Brook); the strong odour (especially during the summer months); and the nuisance of having this dumping immediately adjacent to a major provincial highway. Because of the points in question, I would urge that your department consider not granting this permit and give further consideration to establishing'guidelines providing for treatment of sewage from septic tank pumpage and soapboxes. The application describes the sewage as "fertilizer". But as one of the neighbors in the area points out, "pollution is pollution, and there is no use calling it fertilizer." Sincerely; R.H. McClelland, MLA Langley Fraser Valley library thanks ... Editor, The Star, Dear Sir, On behalf of the Board of Management of this library, I would thank you for your interest during 1972 in publishing our bookmobile schedules and other library news. Sincerely,, W.H. Over end Director See nothing, do nothing, and know nothing ... that's our boy' Editor, The Star, Dear Sir, Telephone interview with MLA Bob McClelland. Q. Is this correct that you said, "an impossible situation" and promised to help the protestors, as quoted on page 2 of The Aldergrove Star Feb. 7, 1973 issue concerning Hay's Septic Tank Service? A. "Yes". Q. Were you in the Patricia area to interview the protestors? A. "Yes". Q. Did you check the field we have been using to dispose of the septic tank contents? A. "No". Q. Why? A. "It's up to the pollution control centre". Q. Then why are you involved? A. "Pm helping society". Q. In your estimation would you say the '.'stench" was "almost unbearable?" A. "No". Q. Are you then calling Mr. Obal a liar, since "stench" is the term he used in a letter? A. "No. Pm certainly not calling him a liar!" Q. Would you tell me the differences between human, horse, cow,, hog, chicken, mink, and fox manures? A. "Pvenoidea.". Q. Will you be forcing every farmer in the Fraser Valley to apply for a permit in order to fertilize his fields? A. «'No." , -' . '. Q. Is there any difference between human wastage and that of animals? A. "Pvenoidea." Q. Are you saying there is no difference between one critter's muck and that of another? A.. "I dont know. We demand the treatment of a 1 1 sewerage." Q. When there was an outbreak of hepatitis in the town of Aldergrove was the Patricia elementary school affected by this?.-,.-, A. "I don't know." (In fact it was NOT!) Q. Do you plan to stop allowing more septic tank permits to be issued? A. "NO." Q. When the septic tanks are cleaned, would you prefer to see the contents dumped directly into the river or spread on a field? A. "Not on one field, you see you could over-fertilize a field." (Yes, especially' a gravel- based field.) Q. Then are you suggesting we use more than one field, perhaps several farms? A. "Not I don't mean that." Q. What do you mean? A. "Do you think Pm picking sides?" Yes, I do. McClelland then explained, "I dont plan to stop anything- 1*11 go along with whatever the pollution board says." Like it or lump it The above conversation with MLA Bob McClelland - shows how ridiculous part of the argument is! We'll try to co-operate where possible, but this attitude calls for putting your money where your mouth is. Those that are strongly opposed for psychological reasons now have an opportunity to 0) put up and shut up, (2) move or (3) they may buy the business, as we do not plan to lose our investment and do not wish to "jump" the price of septic tank cleaning on account of a few protestors. These same people keep deathly quiet with tons of carbon falling on their heads, (from jets), basements flooded from "overflowed" sewer systems, and many more Uls that fall on mankind. When you try to do something sensibly there • they are screaming "pollution!" No, Pm in favor of letting nature take it's course. When fertilizers seep into the ground they nourish plants, plants are nourishing cattle, cattle nourish mankind and the cycle is repeated. Until there is a more satisfactory method we'll let nature take it's course. If people moving to the country are dreaming of "Shady Hollow" .... pools of crystal, clear water reflecting weeping Willows ... they, are right but you still expect some fertilizing to go on to keep it as such. Living in larger cities they are more apt to find sufficient activities to occupy their minds. Yours very truly, RetaDay 1129 Howes, Aldergrove.

According to Western movie traditions, native people are depicted either as bloodthirsty savages or eloquent statesman a la Chief Dan George. But the B.C. Indian delegates that hit Ottawa last week didn't fit either stereotype. Both delegations were fighting for' similar causes and led by articulate and determined men who knew what they were talking about. Particularly impressive was 30 year old Philip Paul, who fronted for the union of B.C. chiefs. Mr. Paul, facing the N.D.P. caucus, spoke without notes in outlining B.C. Indian problems and told us that virtually no treaties had ever been signed with B.C. Indians, and that it was long since past the time for us whites to make a decent settlement for the rights and land we stole from them. While Chief Paul's presentation was logical, reasonable and low- keyed, it was impossible to escape the steel at its core. For all his persuasive moderation, it came through loud and clear that this Indian leader was no Uncle Tom-a-Hawk. The same tone must have come through when the Chiefs met later with the Prime Minister and helped push the P.M. into a new posture in relation to rights of native people. As able as Mr. Paul appears to be, however, I doubt whether his meeting with Trudeau by itself would have been e- nough to shift the position of a pretty stubborn P.M. Other "Indian things" also have been happening around here, you know. Any number of things.

Historically, this tribe are salmon eaters and outstanding pole carvers and they pressed their compensation claims for lost land (mainly to forest companies) to the highest court of the land. Nishga legal moves are founded on a George m Royal Proclamation 0763) and when I met one of their leaders, the Hon. Frank Calder, yesterday, Frank was jubilant. Of course, the Nishga victory was largely moral, but the fact that three of Canada's chief justices sided with the Indians gives forceful endorsement to the native people who have complained for centuries that "we was robbed". A couple of other controversial Indian questions will soon be big news too. There is the massive James Bay (Que-" bee) hydro scheme which will flood millions of acres of aboriginal hunting and trapping territory. And then there is the anticipated $5 billion MacKen- zie Valley pipeline to bring Arctic oil and gas to southern cities where they will be used to produce smog. Both these projects will violate Indian lands and traditional ways of life causing starvation, migration and cultural genocide. And finally, the political reality that both Frank Howard of the NJXP. and Flora MacDon- ald of the Tories have come out strongly on the side of the Indians and that spells trouble for the shaking Trudeau regime. It is not unnatural then for Pierre to feel a little Shifty because far from vanishing the red man is increasing and if all natives ever decide to vote the same way, it's good-bye Liberals. And oh, one other thing, when Alaska paid off its Indians a couple of years ago, the bill came to almost $1 billion. For compensation to Canadian native people, the estimate is $10 billion - that* s plenty of wampum folks and I hear that Indians wont settle for beads anymore.

They have striven for redress on lands taken by the Canadian government without treaty better than a hundred years ago. Although the City papers can be accused of bias, neither can one honestly state that they clearly put out the Indian stand. I, as do many of you Langley and Aldergroveites who approach the golden forties remember Bert McKay. He attended secondary school at Langley more than a generation past and besides being presently supervising principal at New Aiyansh, he is a hereditary chief of the Nishga people. During his years in this community we were at times schoolmates and both fought for the Langley Boxing Club. He preceded me into the teaching profession but completed his degree in summer school sessions; hence we often met at U.B.C. In'69 the Nishga Lands Claim was in the news and our pre class coffee one morning I asked him to tell me about it. The story is surprising. "Many years ago, in 1870 to be exact, the people of the Nass were living well, having done a good job of weathering first contacts with while culture. There were missionaries present and traders, but in general the clans and families were not too badly disturbed in their life style. They moved as was traditional from area to area and had no reason to suspect that this could ever change. But the situation was not to lasf., -Surveyors who had been delegated by the newly-formed C anadian nation appeared on the scene, began measurements, and imparted the news that certain areas were to be set aside as Reservations. But the preponderance of their valley had been pre-empted by the crown." One must digress here and point out that fifteen years later, in 1885 the same trick was turned on the Metis in South Saskatchewan. It triggered an orgy of fire and slaughter only put down by the British Imperial. Army. Power came, as Mao was to say later, from the muzzle of a gun, and the Metis were allowed to retain their traditional properties. Getting back to the Nass, violence was not the Nishga way. After conferences among the chiefs, and consultation with missionaries regarding white men's customs, they retained legal counsel and brought suit in Canada's courts, confident in both the Tightness of their cause and in the wheels of justice. A century has more thanpas- sed. The patient people of the north have blown more than one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars in legal fees. In 1920 their delegation was bodily thrown from the doors of Canada's House of Commons. But they don't intend by Dennis Ross to quit. Their case lost out 4-3 in the Supreme Court two weeks ago, the deciding dissenting vote being cast on the basis of a technicality and those who watch T.V. will have seentheir representative interviewing Mr. Trudeau only last week. Mr. McKay stated flatly that they will never back down. Af ter Canada, will come the International Court at The Hague and failing that, the U.N. So that's the story. Those among you who knew Bertie McKay, an Indian kid who went to school here way back many years ago can be assured that he is still alive, and doing very well. And a tragic episode in Canadian history A clash of personalities Two individuals who by sheer force of personality altered the course of Canadian history were Louis Riel, Canadian insurgent, born in Manitoba of Indian, French and Irish heritage and Sir John A. Macdon- aid, Father of Confederation and Canada's first prime minister. Riel, the fiery French- Canadian who led the Metis Rebellion of 1884, has in recent years been exonerated and promoted posthumously from arch-villain to saint. He was, in truth a colorful and misunderstood Canadian who willingly chose death in 1885, as a martyr to his cause. Cm From the very first, it was evident the "conflict of personalities" between the antagonists was a strong one. "You tell the truth about any man who's been hanged," accused Sir John A. Macdonald "and you'll make a martyr out of him ... Men murder because they're on fire with pain or suffering. Riel was on fire. But he had to be hanged, and there's martyrdom-" "My faith, my mission has had its own pain," retorted Riel from his prison cell. At the height of his political success, the fiery Metis leader, who saw himself as the prophet of his people, ordered the execution of Thomas Scott, a religious bigot and "Canada firster". Charged with murder, Riel sent his good friend and confessor, the AbbeRich- ot, to negotiate with Sir John A. in Ottawa. His future, his very life, depended on the government's promised amnesty. Algonkian Indians Algonkian is a family of related languages spoken over a wide area of Canada. When Europeans first arrived on the shores of this continent, Al- gonkian-speaking people occupied the whole of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, most of Quebec, northern Ontario and parts of the Prairies, the Algonkian tribes populating the. great eastern woodlands of Canada were the Ojibwa, Cree, Algonquin, Montagnais, Micmac arid Malecite. The most important cultural item among the Algonkian Indians of the eastern, woodlands is birchbark. It was used for the construction of canoes, wigwams and many types of Containers. The Algonquins were a loosely organized tribe inhabiting the Ottawa Valley, both on the north side and on the south between the Ottawa River and Lake Nipissing. Being hunters, and collectors, they relied heavily on deer, berries, rabbits and fish. "They first jailed me, and then obliterated Riel with a lie," exclaims Richot hotly. "He (Macdonald) and his various henchmen ate Riel's life alive, with one simple lie. They kept him alive in the eye of his enemies, as a killer, an outlaw, so that even when he was elected to Parliament by his people, he could not take his seat ... he would have been hanged in the streets!" This was Riel as he saw himself, based on his personal diaries kept until his death, and recently found and published. The Metis leader began to have visions while in jail and believed himself the prophet of the chosen. To save him from the gallows, his friends argued that Riel was insane, suffering from delusions. But in so doing, they easily convinced people that his cause was insane, and probably hurt both Riel and his cause much more than any enemies could have done. In the end, , these facts emerged: Macdonald, it is now known, was repeatedly misinformed by his advisors and ministers as to the true Metis situation. Riel, judged sane, a rebel and a murderer, went to the gallows convinced that his message came from God, Yet the "voices", he persisted, were just, in search of peace. "I refuse to remain alive by telling the lie that I am insane." he stated, "...Iwilldrop through the hole with dignity, as the cause of my people has dignity." The background story for this tragic episode in Canadian history began whenyoungLouis (born in 1844) succeeded his father as leader of the Franco- Indians of the Northwest, the Metis, who had revolted against the Hudson Bay Company in 1849. He was made secretary of the Comite National des Metis in 1869, and claimed on behalf of his halfbreed people part of the money given by the Deminion government to The Hudson Bay in return for the acquisition of the territories of the qest. Riel's claim was refused, and he became the leader of the Red River Rebellion 0869-70). After taking Fort Garry the insurgents established a provisional government there, but on the approach of an expeditionary force under the British soldier Sir Garnet Wolseley, Riel evacuated the fort and escaped from Canada to the UJS. He later returned to Manitoba and was several times elected to the Dominion Parliament, but was never allowed to take his rightful seat. In 1884 he became the leader of a band of half breeds in Montana who demanded the restoration of their aboriginal rights, and was soon back in the North West Territories (Manitoba) stirring up rebel-, lion. He was captured by Canadian mounted police, brought to Regina, tried for treason, and finally, 41 years of age in 1885, hanged by the neck until dead. Smorgasbord date this month is Friday Feb. 16.

The pictures were taken outside the old Aldergrove elementary school on Fraser Highway probably sometime between 1928 and 1931 and the teacher on the two top pictures is Mary Chadwick (nee McLellan) of Glen Valley who returned COUNCIL REACHES COMPROMISE IN CANINE CASE If you thought there was a lot of back biting behind the scenes of a beauty pageant, you may be right, but what you do not necessarily realize is that there is just as much, if not more, behind the scenes in a dog show. This, according to Mrs. Kay Jarvis, who represented a dog club at council on Monday. Mrs. Jarvis appeared to help defend Mrs. Kristoff of Langley who has been accused by the municipality of breaking a by-law covering the number of dogs a person may keep on their property. According to the by-law, no_one may have any more than three dogs without having a kennel licence. Mrs. Kristoff claims she is a hobbyist in that although she has more than three dogs, they are strictly pets which she keeps confined to her properly. She said she could see no reason why she should buy a kennel licence when she does not operate a kennel. She also expressed annoyance that a person who lives what she describes to be twenty miles away could possibly cause her all this trouble. Mrs. Jarvis defended her, saying that the complainant was probably someone who has lost out to one of her dogs at a dog show. Some aldermen expressed doubt that anyone would go that far, but Aid. Gary Smith, a veterinarian jumped in to concede that it could be so. "They're a pretty tough bunch sometimes," he said, and he told Mrs. Kristoff if that was indeed the case, she is lucky she has not had her dog poisoned. Council began to suggest that Mrs. Kristoff get rid of three of her six dogs and thus end her problems, but she had two answers to that. One, there was a lot of money tied up in her dogs and she cold not dispose of them as suggested. Secondly Mrs. Kristoff claimed that she had only kept three dogs the year before and had run into the same problem from the licence inspector who told her at that time that she was in contravention of the by-law. She denied being in business as was suggested in a staff report to council, she said she carries a business card only because she is often asked for one at dog shows by people who wish to mate their animals with her own prize winners. Finally, council came to the conclusion that Mrs. Kristoff is not in business and they said they had no objection to her offering a stud service, but they refused to back down on the issue of her six dogs. "We wiU have to comply with the by-law," said Aid. Gary Smith, indicating in the next breath that council had just as much responsibility to comply as did Mrs. Kristoff. to teach at Aldergrove following a teacher's exchange assignment abroad. tf you recognize yourself or any of the individual students, we would like to hear from you at The Star. Photos by Wredberg*s High-Art New times for children's hour The childrens hour held every Saturday morning at the Aldergrove library is now divided up into two age groups. For the 3 to 5 year old age group the hour is now 1041 a.m. and the ages 6-9 years old from 11-12 noon starting Saturday February 17. Any child within these age groups is welcome to come out Saturdays for an hour of story telling, games, songs and some handy crafts. Two young Aldergrove girls Linda De Costa, who is working towards her Challenge for Rangers, and Debbie Reid, are volunteering their time to work with the children, supervised by Mrs. Reynold, the librarian. , BYPASS JOB UP IN THE AIR Highways Minister Robert Strachan has advised Mission district council that completion of a bypass to the new Mission bridge is dependent on the provision of funds. He said the first priority has been the direct connection from the Abbotsford-Matsqui Highway to the main street intersection in Mission. The minister said the remaining phases which comprise the entire Mission bypass cannot be initiated until sufficient funds are provided. He indicated that he was unable to state what the financial situation will be until his department's estimates have been approved' by the Legislature. J.

Dave Kut, of 5410 McKee, Burnaby, thought he had a surefire method for estimating the minute in which Langley radio station CJJC would change its power and frequency. The station switching from 880 kilocycles to 800 and boosting its power from 1,000 watts to 10,000, offered a car as the prize for the listener predicting the switchover time. The switchover, authorized by federal officials, was made at 2:06 p.m. Friday, Feb. 2. This was one of the 40,320 times submitted for the contest by Kut after he and his brother John, 21, used the UBC computer to produce an entry for every minute in February on print-out sheets. It wasn't the only correct entry, though. Dave Burdett, a Surrey municipal worker, put in 20,160 guesses, one for every other minute in February, including the winningtime. Burdett won the car when the station management put the entries from both men into a hat and Burdett's name was drawn for the top prize. Kut got the second prize, a car radio. "It only took the computer a minute to print out thetimes, my name and address. And it only took my brother and I about another half-hour to cut out the print sheets. "We won a radio, so it was still a good investment," said Kut. Burdett, assisted by his wife, spent about $50 getting their entries turned out by a copying machine. Station program director Barry Kay said that Kut and Burdett between them brought in more than half of the close to 100,000 entries received for the contest. Kay said the station had put no restriction on the number of entries that a listener could submit, never realizing that someone would come up with methods used by Kut and Burdett. He said that in contrast to the relatively short time spent by Kut and Burdett in making out their entries, station staff workers spent hours going o- ver the reams of entries to find the winning times. An Aldergrove man, Alfred Flamond, of 6575 County Line won sixth prize in the contest - a side of beef. He only submitted two entries. LISTINGS WANTED ACREAGE.

Aid. Walt Jensen who is in charge of council's Utilities and Enterprises Committee, which in turn makes him responsible for mosquito control, delivered a lengthy brief this week explaining that the methods a- vailable for control of mos- quitos are all rather inadequate. Jensen has said many times that if he had his way there would be no mosquito spraying "I think we spray ourselves to death," he said this week. The problem is, however, and Jensen admits this, that people do not like to have the air infested by the creatures. It is, therefore, necessary to find some means of controlling them. There are three methods of controlling such pests according to Jensen. One is to introduce a new kind of spray to them every other year or so in order that they do not become immune to the chemicals. Another way is to drop insecti cide bombs into the ponds where the bugs lay their eggs, and the third way is to introduce large amounts of predators into the area. Walt Jensen and the rest of the councilmen favor the idea of predators, but they are having trouble finding a natural predator which preys on mos- quitos. Walt Jensen said he has looked into it and found no such animal. Aid. Gary Smith said he asked the same question of the biology department at Simon Fraser Univer- .' sity and was told the same thing. The second alternative is insecticide bombs. The municipality of Kent, B.C. is re- ported to have been havinggreat success with the bombs, so council is going to ask that district for a report on the subject. As the discussion reached its conclusion, one citizen of Fort Langley (the area worse affected by the bugs) was heard to remark from the gallery that she hoped the matter is resolved before the mosquitos hatch.

Trinity had been under pressure for some time to fix up its sewage treatment facilities so it was with some relief that Langley council received their proposal for a public park and a new secondary treatment plant in Fort Langley. Now, however, one group has come forward to oppose the development. Wahye Cheyne of the Steel- head Society (a group of sport fishermen) is not really opposed to parks, but he does question the wisdom of this one. Cheyne says there are only two natural water courses in Langley which do not run into or out of another municipality or country. He says every effort should be made to protect these waterways. Council retorted that the proposed lake would be formed by digging out a portion of the Salmon River which runs adjacent to the college and damming it. One alderman described the finished product as nothing more than a 'bulge in the River'. Cheyne argued that he was not a professional and admitted that he was not sure the plan was a threat to steel- head or to people who enjoy fishing, but he did say that in his mind a dam could present a problem for the fish. Council then explained that the dam was to be constructed in such a way as to provide only gradual steps for the fish to jump, and it was argued that it would in fact be easier for fish to get over the dam than it would be for them to get up a natural waterfall. Cheyne again reported that he was not sure yet, but he said that fish ladders are not always a good idea. He said that fish will often gather in large packed schools around a dam, and this makes them easy prey for poachers who snag fish out of water before, they can get upstream to spawn. Wayne Cheyne said that his organization was going to investigate the situation, and if they find it is a .threat to the sea going trout they will do everything they can to fight it. He also disagreed with council that the lake will help stop silting problems in the Salmon River, although he did find an ally in Aid. Bill Blair on this question. Blair feels that in some seasons when the water is slow running, the dammed lake could get a little Hi-Vay Salvage WE BUY BEER BOTTLES - COPPER - BRASS - ALUMINUM - LEAD - RADIATORS - BATTERIES - And all *vpes of STEEL & CAST.

The latest edition, now off the presses, also contains stories on the Mission soap box derby, a visit to Mon- ashee and Bowron Lake provincial parks, a dramatic account of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police over the past 100 years and a trip on the little-known Murray River. Maps and the usual generous assortment of color pictures allow the reader to share the stunning beauty of British Columbia in the areas covered by this edition, including a glimpse of blossom time in the Okanagan. Ernest Hall, minister of travel industry, says the magazine now has a subscription list of some 240,000. Subscriptions increased by an average of 2,000 a month in 1972. It is mailed to almost every country in the world. "The aim of the book is to bring our province to people everywhere," Hall says. "We like to see the work of British Columbia writers and photographers and try to encourage them wherever we can." 9 est. 1961 Aldergrove Hardware Ltd.

There is no situation in life in which effective prayer cannot bring help and healing. Next Sunday morning, February 18, the Christian Science broadcast entitled, "You're Not a Victim of Weather", includes the story of a New Zealand farmer who harvested a good crop after devastating hall damage. On the same program two other people also tell of their experiences in finding freedom from dangerous situations related to weather. The radio stations carrying this program locally are listed in an ad in today's Star, under the heading, "The Truth That Heals." Weather Deport byNormGreen 1973 Temperatures Precip.

Langley Special Care Homes Society, an organization formed by members of various local service clubs, receives the loan for the six-storey building in downtown Langley. 2The municipality is supporting the development by refunding the cost of local services and other normal charges up to $100,000, an amount equal to the full equity-necessary for the CMHC loan.

There have been changes since that article was first printed - more furniture (three couches with matching chairs were purchased in Langley)and another rule (runners, soft- sole shoes, or stocking feet while playing ping pong); the jukebox is still with us, and a candy bar machine has been installed. To any who are, for the first time, aware of the lounge- read on. newest addition Way back when (September 13, 1971, actually) at an informal executive meeting, a certain students' council president made the first mention of a student lounge. Non-believers laughed skeptically to think of Aldergrove, home of the ' Snack Shack, a precious little park, and a bowling alley (which also add up to a fair summary of its recreation centres), as having a student lounge in its high school. Fifteen months later, however, this pet project has finally stuck its Welcome nose into our cafeteria...and has assumed over half of what was once referred to as the study hall. There have been complaints about the diminished dimensions of the cafeteria, but the lounge, via' the. process of elimination had no other place to go. Dougal's council set up a lounge committee, composed of seven students... After passing through the necessary channels ... council a- greed upon the third beam,as the line* for the partition and Mr. Wollenberg*s Construction 11 class began its task ... the construction of a special wall to divide the cafeteria - study Peterson hall from the student lounge. This wall is special in that it can be dismantled for expansion at, for example, carnival time. Also the wood- panelled wall has a regular door to provide everyday access to the concession and drink machines. The Committee' has so far spent about $200 in the purchase of four couches and four armchairs. These furnishings, plus the shuffleboard and the ping pong table, were moved into the lounge one Saturday night, ready on Monday morning (December 11) for the critical eyes which, surprisingly enough, accepted it. One glamorous aspect is the jukebox. The committee hopes to make enough money from the jukebox to retain it... so, barring an unbearable noise level and consequent complaints from faculty, the jukebox will remain. To begin with, there were no set rules ... but in order to maintain a reasonable situation, a few obvious rules are necessary. Most of these are established as the need for them is observed; Students in the lounge are still subject to study attendance regulations but, for the most part, things look good. Self-imposed rules include no eating, no feet on the furniture (at least until some sturdy coffee tables arrive) no messes Of you make a mess or someone ignorant* ly leaves one, clean it up), and no immature-destruction. It's our lounge so let's take care of it. The lounge has achieved its purpose in providing a contained retreat from the classroom routines and other necessary evils such as teachers. I think that the lounge is a good thing and: will be considered as such by ninety-nine point nine percent of us, including the staff, who probably wish they were. students at times like this. The lounge - Take care of it; relax and enjoy it. That's why ifs here. FINANCING FOR BUSINESS Messrs. B.D. Parsons and C J.

West, Chilliwack Soccer Action THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1973 J$trt Royals ride again Aldergrove Dons and Brad- ner Royals got things started off nicely in an entertaining contest last Sunday. Our informant stated that the contest was a hard-hitting one, but- otherwise fairly clean. He commented that the official was not as sharp as most, but as it transpired his calls stood up. The final counter created the controversy. Bradner scored it to break up a 1-1 deadlock but two players, said some, were offside, if nothing else, the point was made that the man with the whistle was in charge. John Lomox did the job for Dons. We were not able to get the names of Royals''artisans. In Provincial Cup play Aldergrove juveniles batted fifty percent. Div. 6 Rihans eased past PoCo Jets 3-2 with goals by Moberg, Des Jarlais and Ferguson while Div. 5 Navy was shut out 2-0 by Bel Aire. SPORTS by Dennis Ross, Sports Editor Phone 534-4068 ———w i ii ini !■ Saturday soccer once more A & M Jets have had their brief win streak severed, but not without a struggle. They went down 3-0 to Div. 7 LSC at City Park and at times were but a hair's breadth from breaking it wide open. Sports Club's goals came from Bander, Larsen and Probert. Div. 6 LSC defeated highly- rated Blue Mountain in an entertaining match. Ken Robinson's charges are certainly not the most orthodox outfit ever to grace a soccer pitch, but they seem able to get a job done. Sports Club 5's. defeated Whalley 3-2 in a funny one. According to the referee the losers looked very good, scored first, and on chances were the better ball club. Fortunately one decides the winner < by counting the goals. In Div. 3 it was Fun Day again, IOOF vs LSC at City Park. Sports Club was lacking two stalwarts, newcomer Fraser and their regular centre foreward whose name escapes me, while IOOF has picked up a couple. Their new right winger is a worker and is impressive. The goalie is good and having him in the nets turned Marv Metcalf loose down the middle. It was, as usual, a close match but for the first half the reds had an edge and by rest period, courtesy of Metcalf, were nursing a 1-0 edge. Sports Club made the second half a garrison one and turned in a desperate effort. Though to some extent they reversed the play, they were able to no more than match goals. It ended 2-1 IOOF. ' And at Aldergrove At Aldergrove, Div. 3 Legion won 4-1 over LSC Vikings. According to the winning coach, the score does not at all mir- row the run of play. It could certainly have gone either way. The losers put up a great game but were plagued with some tough luck in the net. Alder- grove's goals were -scored by Davis, Guistra, Flentge, and Meyer. \ Half-time score stood 2-0. Viking's tally came by virtue of. a penalty shot in the latter stakes. Div. 5 Navy could not buy a goal losing 3-0 to Surrey United Bruins. Div. 6 Rihans tied 1-1 with highly-rated Blue Mountain. And in the only other result recorded, Div. 4 LSC Legion pounded Po Co Legion 5-1. For half of the' match it was interesting, Po Co came on strongly while Langley's players found it hard toget moving. ' After the interval they pounded . in four. :; ' Fastball to Valley A call from John Driedeger last week tipped us off to the fact that A Class ball, featuring world-level athletes is going to make its home at Abbotsford.

In the 250 c.c. semi event, tworiderscol- lided and a third rider in an attempt to miss the two fallen ones slammed into the crash wall tearing out a 20 foot section of fence and ending up in the crowd. Luckily no one was injured, except maybe for hurt pride. The little wheel mini bike class was taken by Kevin Foster from Lynwood, Wash, on a Honda. hi the big wheel mini bikes, 7 year old Brian McCandle Dahl of Seattle on a Hodaka, took first place, out running competitors twice his age.. Brian also placed third in the little wheel class. Bernadette Hendrix of Surrey on a Pace Motors Yamaha continued her winning ways taking both the Powder Puff Trophy Dash and the main event. The duel continues in the 125 c.c. class between Howard Gar- be from Burnaby on a Pace Motors Yamaha and Jon Mc- Caffery of Delta on a Modern Motors Suzuki. McCafferylead for half of the 12 lap main event with Garbe finally slipping under him in a corner to go onto the win with McCaf- fery taking second. the 250 c.c. main event which is usually the climax of the evening seemed like a let down after all the action in the grandstands. But as usual this class proved why people keep coming back to the indoor races, as the action gets fast and furious and at times a little'hard to keep track of as riders are going down and passing each other. If you blink your eyes you miss three guys getting passed. Randy Skiver of Everett, Wash, on the new Clarke Simp- kins Honda made no mistakes this night as he powered off the line to take a lead that was never challenged to win the main event. Skiver also won the 250 cc. Trophy Dash. Mike McClain from Bothell, Wash, on a Bultaco who has been a consisted placer finally shook loose of the crowd to take second. The next race is intwoweeks on Saturday night, February 24. times (who incidentally are 100 per cent Canadian) will go under new sponsorship as Fraser Valley Merchants and will play out of the park across from, Abby's ice arena. Competition is to be in the Pacific Northwest League which draws representation from Seattle, Tacoma, Victoria, Vancouver, Campbell River and Burien (we have not yet been able to locate it). Mr. Driedeger has promised to mail in a schedule when they are drawn up and included will undoubtedly be directions; for home parks. The outfit packs some pretty fair credentials both in player calibre and in record. They won both league and playoffs last season and in tournament play squeaked out a big win over the world champs from Richmond Hill, Ontario. That was at the Edmonton Klondike Days and it took a couple of extra innings, but nobody begrudged the time, Headliners are pitcher Barry Brandow who has a good many wins to his credit in Fastball World Series play over the years and who developed originally in Langley, along with Ron Pettevelo of Deep Cove. Buster Moberg if his arm is up to it, will be in there as well. Localites well known to many of us are to be Larry Orwick, Ken Deitcher, Rudy Terchrob, John Driedeger, Bob Carrick, Ray Massey, Jerry Cooey, Jim Buhler, Len Ter- chrop and Abbotsford's own. blue-eyed Wayne Larson. Team general manager is Bradnerite Bob Brady. Financially the club organization feels that they are going to make it, but some help is still needed. While Mr. Brady is absent John Driedeger will be accepting calls at 856-7616 and at 856-6843. The Sunday Crunch For most clubs it was the first round of Province Cup play and for a few, their last. Div. 7 LSC had it their own way. They mauled PoCo 7-0 in a merciless display. Such was the level of dominance that the winning goalie handled the ball but once after half- time. lsc Div. 6 was gunned down. Whalley, who lost a league match on Saturday was fired up and came to win. Except for a few sporadic outbursts, Sports Club was not in it They did well to limit the damage to three. In 5th Div. Sports Club won in a walk eliminating Bel Aire's second string 7-4 and in the fourth Legion blasted Coquitlam 124 and into oblivion. In exhibition play Div. 2 Aldergrove Eintracht, with five players out on injuries fell 3-1 to North Van's Burdette Beavers. Also in 2nd Div. Aldergrove United, after a rather sparkling comeback, kept their undefeated league record intact. At one time Whalley Sabres held a 3-0 lead looking like relatively easy winners. But the tide turned, Conlin at centre punched home a pair and Bill Docherty scored a single. It was in the final, decisive minutes that Docherty arced a corner kick across the goal mouth and Ralph Zillich laid his head to it with the aplomb and precision of a pro. It ended 4-3 United. Coach Ken Robinson mentioned Tim Nimo at centre half as being outstanding in the backfield, and he expressed special appreciation to Reid Johnson, without whose help the club could not have functioned. ■ LSC House League Div. 10 • Peterson 0 Sperling 1, Central 0 West Lang 3, Belmont 0 Simonds 2.
