Luckv winner was Mrs. Kay Ka\. Local vet stands by claims that 2-4-D dangerous By GARY CHAMBERS ALDERGROVE — Final results of a physical and chemical autopsy performed on the body of a dog belonging to Barbara Wellicome of Aldergrove were brought down last week. The report by Dr. E.W. Gilchrist, a pathologist with the B.C. government's veterinary laboratory in Abbotsford, was based on the level of herbicide found in the dog's body and a report from a veterinary college in Saskatchewan on canine digestive capacities. It concluded that the ingestion of the chemicals 2-4-D and 2-4-5-T could not have caused the dog's death as was previously suspected by Wellicome. In a report in the A.S.M. News of Abbotsford last week. Dr. Gilchrist was quoted as saying, "There was an obvious cause of death...a very malignant lymphosarcoma (cancerous tumor)." Dr. James McClendon of the Aldergrove Veterinary Clinic, who acted on Wellicome's behalf in ordering the various reports and post-mortem examinations, released the details of his final diagnosis Friday. He said the report from Dr. Gilchrist along with other data collected would confirm that the herbicides consumed by the dog could not have caused it's death. "We didn't seem to relate anything directly to the chemicals," he stated. Dr. McClendon, however, did reiterate his concern over the use of 2-4-D in areas populated by people or animals. "I'm afraid there is proof that it has a reaction on the division of cells," he told The Star. Dr. McClendon quoted another report in his possession prepared by three research doctors at Guelph University in Ontario. Canada's most respected veterinary college. He said the Guelph researchers had determined through their work with bovine muscle cells that 2-4-D, at very high concentration, "Has an action on the mitotic index of cells and the division of cells. The doctor said this does not prove that 2-4-D can cause birth defects, but added that it would be a logical assumption on which to base one's use of the chemical. Mitotic cell division (mitosis) is a form of cell growth in which new chromosomes are created. Dr. McClendon's final diagnosis will probably be a major source of date for members of Matsqui council when they resume their debate on the use of the chemical in roadside ditches. Council's examination of the facts about 2-4-D and 2-4-5-T began in earnest when Wellicome appeared before council lo blame the death of her dog on council's roadside spraying program. Spraying has stopped for the season due to rain but will begin again in the spring unless council decides to switch to alternate methods. Langley council voted to stop roadside spraying in favor of mechanical brush control about seven years ago, when it was discovered that a large number of Langley residents objected to the use of herbicides in public ditches.

Staff Photo "PSSSTI., Sec page 5 Monstrous happenings at graveyard FORT LANGLEY - There are some strange people in this community who get their jollies out of continuously vandalizing the old cemetery. These nocturnal barbarians return to the graveyard again and again, driving motorcycles across the plots, pushing over headstones, breaking up cenotaphs, pulling out flowers and plants and smashing everything else breakable in sight. During a three-week period these primitive savages returned to the cemetery four times, cemetery foreman John Thomson reports. And caused a $1,311 bill to the public purse. The night between Monday and Tuesday, November 22-23, twenty-one headstones were turn* bled over, one window broken in the cemetery building and various shrubs and flowers pulled out and strewn all over the place. Damage was repaired by works crews on November 23. Saturday, December 4, it was discovered that the barbarians had been back. Sixteen headstones pushed over. A 600-pound cenotaph broken, part of it possibly beyond repair. Grave markers were re-erected the following Monday and the cenotaph trucked to Vancouver for repair. The vandals struck again on Friday, December 10. Only four Sidewalk not needed, soys Kitsul Mule Roger Anderson all shy, giggly, and wllh a few tears at a visit wllh Santa.

It was his last council meeting. headstones pushed over, and another memorial brought to Vancouver for repair. And then; on Sunday, December 12, Thomson discovered what in his words: "resembled a disaster scene." "This time, there were probably more headstones pushed over than were left standing,' and on counting there were 85 headstones (turned) over." Said Thomson: "the ornamental railings around an ancient family plot appear to have been jumped on and bent out of shape. They were bolted at either end and some of these have broken. "Although a nuisance when mowing, it would look quite attractive if fixed up properly, and is of historic value. 1 would like to attempt this next summer, when wc will make new railings." Some of the headstones can be repaired with epoxy glue, says Thomson, and the municipal crews will attempt this in spring when the weather is warmer. Thomson suggested that two strong mercury-vapor lights be installed on powcrpoles adjacent to the cemetery. These, of course, would have to be protected as well, or the lamps could not be expected to last long. Councilors Monday afternoon approved of this suggestion. It is a sad case. Costs increase by 37 percent MURRAYVILLE - During discussions as to 1977 budgetary estimates and RCMP costs. Mayor George Driediger said Monday afternoon: "That's a nice little increase for one year, isn't it?" The provisional municipal budget for 1977 provides for $731,829.00 for policing cosls. The amended provisional budget has been cut to $588,227.80. The 1976 budget held $534,405 for police costs. The estimated reduction of $43,601.40 for the coming year, will be reflected in a report lo be considered at budget discussion in January, municipal treasurer Larry Cruikshank said. HKEMMV SPUDS RAtStD VICTORIA - Starting last Wednesday the speed limit on the Trans-Canada highway between the Mount Lehman interchange and Whatcom Road increased from SS to 60 mites per hour.

The changes arc being made to bring about more uniformity in traffic speeds along the highway. Christmas will probably be a happy lime lor Kurt and Inga Grittner of Aldergrove, bul it won't be us happy as it could be were ihey not facing closure of their family business in the new year. The story of their dilemma is the story of two unsuspecting casualties in the bureaucratic revolution for tighter control of business enterprises in Matsqui. Since the middle of October 76, the Grittners have been operating Country Freezer Meats, a meat cutting and wrapping business, in a small building on (heir seventeen acre farm on Ross Road. The building where the cutting room is located stands about 150 feet from the Grittner home and has been approved twice by provincial health officers as a place to cut and wrap meal. Matsqui council, however, does not consider butchering meat an agricultural enterprise and has ordered their legal department to shut the operation down. tt all started when Gritlner made application to operate the business under a land use contract hack in January. At that lime council turned down his land use contract application, with the intention of preventing the business from becoming established, Later on, in March of '75, another application was made by Grittner. This time, instead of asking to build .i new building on the far comer of bis properly, he usked to renovate his barn to install "storage space and a workshop". A building permit was granted. The Grittncr's mortgaged Iheir home and property and were able io raise 5.10.000 with which they renovated the building next to their house und installed meat cutting and cold storage equipment. This business, said Grittner, enabled his wife to quit working for another meat cutting concern and look him off the unemployment rolls. He said he likes to be independent and feels the council should be glad to have people like himself in the district. "I'm just interested in doing my own thing on my land," he said, "what have Ihey got against working?" Indeed, council is probably very happy to have hard workers for citizens, but that doesn't change the facts — or the law. Council's by-laws do not permit non-ugricultural enterprises ou agricultural land unless a land use contract is approved by vole of council. "It's a flagrant example of completely ignoring whal he has been told he couldn't do." said Aid. Claire Baldwin Monday. Baldwin said he appreciates that it may seem like a lough thing to do, but added that council must draw a line somewhere. Baldwin's remarks reflect a general mood of resllessness among council members right now. over the enforcement of local bylaws. Maisqui council docs not sell business licences, and has no bylaw enforcement officer as such. Controls on businesses must be handled through existing zoning regulations. As a result many businesses > have established themselves on farmland, and council has seemed to lack either the power or enough concern to do anything about them. Aldermen have now decided to crack down. They arc considering hiring an enforcement officer, and the Grittners will be among the first casualties in ihe war on non-conforming enterprises. "Sooner or later something has to happen." said Baldwin, "if it- happens io him it will happen to the others too." He said he appreciates thai there are probably fifty other people operating similar businesses in the area under the same conditions, but added "two wrongs don't make a right." Baldwin denied thai Grittner would have less of a leg to stand on had a business licence been required. He stated that bylaws arc bylaws and if someone doesn't obey a zoning bylaw they probably won't obey a business licence bylaw. Most members of council, with the notable exception of Aid. Spud Murphy, are opposed to selling up a licence schedule to demand a yearly licence fee from businesses in Clearbrook and throughout the district. "I knew I didn't need il so 1 didn't worry about it." said • Grittner when asked if he had contacted council to see if he needed a licence to operate. "I guess it's a pretty big mess I've goiten myself into this time." said Grittner. a recent immigrant to Canada. "I mortgaged the place to finance the culling room. If I can't do that anymore then 1 lose the whole place, one thing goes with the other.

Langley municipal engineer Wayne Kandcll told councilors in Murrayville Monday morning. Randell also agreed wilh Aid. Jim Lee thai the district is "spending nioney on over-design engineering." The engineer said thai ovcrsi- /.ing of sewage piping is perhaps already taking place in local subdivisions. Bul he added, thai because it was financially advantageous to proceed wilh the laying of such pipes while developments were underway because of a cost-sharing program in existence between Ihc township and Ihc developers, il could be lhal too big diameter piping was being used. If there was to be a change in council policy and engineering concerning the sizes of municipal Irunk lines, it would be "good to know as soon as possible." he said. In other council business. Aid. Art Brooks asked municipal planner Ken Major if the Aldergrove town plan perhaps was slipping away from official control wilh a number of AHOP (Assisted Home Ownership Plan) homes going up in certain areas of the community. Shouldn't such homes, which are limited as to size and purchase price by federal subsidy policy, be mixed in witli conventional housing? Brouks inquired. Major said lhat the only thing he had against AHOP eight percent interest homes, was the fact that they were limited as to si/e. "You might be able to cut (construction) costs." he said, "but not Ihe size. If you cut Ihc size Ihey arc not AHOP." The planner said he had nothing else against Ihc homes for which only lower income homebuyers qualify, as long as "the quality is there." He would like lo sec a belter mix. he added, "but how?" No feeling for trust companies LANGLEY — It would never make a farm, and that's Ihc truth, according to Aid. Art Brooks. Bul council would, nevertheless, not allow the subdivision of 79 acres in the North Coghlan area and belonging to Montreal Trust Co. of Vancouver. They wanted lo create 14 lots of 5.34 acres each. Mayor George Driediger said lhal although he had "too much feeling for trust companies." he didn't really like either to tell anybody that they couldn't do anything witli their land holdings except for "hanging it around Iheir necks." "By Ihc same token, Mr. Mayor, that's what we're doing to everybody else." said Brooks. Brooks said he himself had thought about buying Ihe 79 acres about IS years ago. "Oh. because you wanted to subdivide it yourself?" guffawed Aid. Bill Blair. Perhaps, said Brooks. Today the land would Til in with the greenbclt concept, Brooks said. "It is useless as a farm." "We arc retaining green bells," said Aid. Jim Lcc. "But al whose expense?" "Same wilh Ihc farmers." said Brooks. "If one of us owned that 80 acres, what would you do?" asked Driediger. "You have just said it is no good." Councilors all voted against the application, with the sole exception of Aid. Dan Kitsul. The property Is wild bush land traversed by two ravines.

Christmas and the 'Mini-Santas' Russell Davies is one of the youngest contributors to the Aldergrove Star this week, he Is a primary student at Aldergrove Elementary, and we are pleased to share Russell's Christmas story with our readers. By RUSSELL DAVIES Once upon a time, two weeks before Christmas. Santa Claus became very ill. The elves got the feeling that Santa was going to cancel Christmas. That would be horrible, for what is Christmas without Santa Claus? The news of Santa's becoming ill went right to the kids of Aldergrove and Langley. and they started running to the stores and buying toys. Not the kind of toys kids play with, mind you, but toys for grown-ups. That sounds funny. I know, but it was true. You could call the kids 'Mini-Santas'. In (he kitchen Mrs. Claus was mixing Neo-Citrus"1 for adults. "Okay. Claus. here's .what you've been waiting for for a long time; drink it all up, papa." He drank up and said: "Turn on the TV, let's watch 'Mary HartnianV But instead of 'Hartman' a bulletin came over: "Today kids in Aldergrove and Langley arc turning into 'Mini-Santas'. This is Walter Concrete reporting." "What? Mini-Santas! Ho, ho. ho, ho, And an extra Ho." "It's time for your nap. papa." Oh, in a second." Soon Santa was z/z...zz/.zzound asleep. But let's leave Santa alone and join Mrs. Santa in the living room for a cup of coffee nnd some cookies. "Sorry Maud: of coffee, would you settle for some hot chocolate and cookies?" "Cancel my order, please. Let's see how Santa's doing." Well, here wc are in the 'loud-mouth' room on the south side of Santa's Castle on the North Pole. And just then Santa woke from his sleep without any pains at all. Mrs. Claus jumped for joy. Then Santa Claus said: "Ho. ho, Christmas is not cancelled. Hurry up and start making toys. It's only two days before Christmas, you know." The elves went to work like bunnies. Only one more day before Christmas. In fact, it was already Christmas eve. The clock was ticking away. Santa said: "Two hours before Christmas. I think 1 should start early." He yelled out: "Start packing the toys. Hermie and Bernie, get the sleigh ready." "How come?" asked Hermie. Bernie said. "I thought you were sick?" ' "Ddh't'givc mc any backtalk, just do it." One more minute before twelve o'clock. Ten. nine, eight, seven, six, five. four, three, two. one. "It's twelve, papa. Get into your suit." So Santa got on his coat, boots, scarf and hat. But when he left, he said: "Rudolph, slop off at the 'Island of Misfit Toys'. Santa always stopped to visit King Misfit of the island to pick up the toys that were left over from the previous year. And as he rode away through the midnight sky. you could hear him all the way to Aldergrove and Langley: "Ho. ho. ho. and a Merry Christmas to one and all." But by that time all the kids were sound asleep. Canadian Legion Aldergrove wish to extend Seasons Greetings and our thanks for your patronage of our Bingos, Bazaar and other Legion activities.

We realize that the media treatment of famous people can be misleading, so we dispatched our roving biographer to the Northwest Territories to interview Santa Claus. We hasten to add that this was done at great expense to your faithful servants because in our estimates, our roving biographer and his companion on this journey, one Crusader Crow, are both grossly overpaid for the work they do. Still It Is Christmas, and at Christmas we should be able to afford two more keys to the executive washroom, so without further ado, may we present the story and illustration they sent back*. GRANT LAND, N.W.T. — ll was eight-thirty Friday night when the government helicopter dropped Crusader Crow and I on the perimeter of this far northern settlement. The two of us stood in the cold and darkness and watched with helpless resignation as the chopper lifted itself from the carpet of white and flew into the waves of the northern lights. It was off to deliver a weekly food and magazine shipment to Otto Lang's Eskimo hunting guide, and it would return at midnight to retrieve us. We had exactly three and a half hours to complete our assignment. Were we men rather than goons wc would probably have huddled by a campfirc and never ventured into the foreboding sight that is the empire of Santa Claus. but goons wc are and venture we did. To start, let's describe Santa's empire from the spot where we stood at that moment. The settlement of Grant Land is a mass of tall modern structures. Afire with the lights of a city it stands there in the middle of nowhere, towering over the meek like the tomb of an Egyptian queen. Inspite of the cold it is not a welcoming sight to northern travelers. We looked upon it and wondered what kind of demented people would choose to build their city in such a desolate place. n Anxiety flowed by the quart >> through our veins as wc donned • our snowshoes (Aldergrove Sports Centre, snowshoes $29.95 cheap) and headed towards the settlement. It was a long hike, for distances are deceptive on the fiat northern expanse, and it was made no shorter by Crusader's short waddling strides and my smoker's cough. At length we did complete the trcck. however, to find ourselves on the outskirts of Santa's private city. Thai's where wc got the first taste of what was in store. The Security Elf "Halt! Who goes there?" snapped the uniformed elf who appeared from nowhere like a character in a bad piece of literature. "The press!" retorted Crusader Crow, who is a leader among men and thus unaccustomed to being addressed in angry tones. The security elf seemed unim- pressed, he leaped in front of us and drew a double barellcd law suit from his hip holster. "You can't come in! You can't come in without a Christmas press card," he cried as he brandished the summons under our noses. Now as everyone knows, nothing makes a newshound's blood run counter-clockwise like the smelt of a dirty great lawsuit. 1 cringed, and from the corner of my eye 1 even saw the fearless Crusader Crow flinch a little, lt was a staggering experience. "But wc have no such card, and wc have come such a distance only to be turned away," I pleaded, "Can't help that, orders arc orders, I have my orders you know." spurted the etf. Crusader is a seafarer and a member of the military in his spare time, so I guess there was something about the word 'orders' that did something to him, because he stopped twitching instantly. He began to circle the elf in slow, careful strides, contemplating the fairy all the while with sharp beady eyes that peered out over his beard. 1 watched as the elf lost his officious manner. He wrenched his body in two directions at once, trying to keep one eye on each of us. as Crusader continued to pace around him. "Avast ye sandy-bottom!'' blurted Crusader with such suddenness that 1 popped out of my showshoes, "cut yer clapper or 1*11. 'ave yer strung froni a yardarm'" Well that was too much for the fairy. It was almost sad to sec tho quivering heap to which Crusader's ire had reduced htm. The little man's bottom Up flapped like a flag in a windstorm as he tried to bleat (Ferguson's Meat, sheep on cheap — .79 cents Ib.) out his- apologies, but he was too stunned to make a sound. lt was then that Santa appeared from nowhere, which as you can see is a habit among characters created by overpaid reporters who consider themselves authors. Santa's Red Suit "Look what you've done," said Santa Claus as he rushed to the elfs aid. "You must never yell at an elf, their bark is much worse than their bite and they can't stand being yelled at. Arc you alright Pinky?" he asked as he sloopcd to help the little security guard to his feet. Anxiety by the quarts "Yes. Yes 1 think so." said Pinkcrlon elf as he regained his composure and pointed an accusatory finger at my companion, "it's lucky you happened by though Mr. Claus, that Black- beard of the ice floes had me quite overcome." "There, there," said Santa,' "perhaps you should take the rest of the night off. Go and check into a good hotel (Alder Inn Hotel, rooms $6.30 cheap) and have them send me the bill." "That's very nice of you, if you're sure you don't need mc perhaps I'll do that." "Yes by all means, I'm sure wc can get along until morning when your brother comes on," Sanla assured the fairy, and with thai the little man vanished. "Sorry about that," said Santa Claus turning to us, "wc had to bcof up the security earlier this ye„r — had some hippie group called the Berger Commission in here, something about not running a Christmas workshop on sacred Eskimo burial grounds. It took us months to get them out. Now what can I do for you?" We've come for an iptervicw, over the back fence, just between you and us," 1 explained. "Ho, ho, ho," laughed the old man, "what could you possibly tell your fifteen readers about me that they don't already know?" "Well for a start I notice you arc wearing a red velvet smoking jacket, black cotton shirt (Garry's Men's Wear, black shirts $12.00 cheap), paisley ascot and black silk pants: complete ensemble by Frederick's of Hollywood. Everyone in Aldergrove thinks you wear a red suit with a fur trim all the time." Santa's face wrinkled with confusion behind his snowy white facial growth. "1 do wear it in public, but surely they don't think 1 wear it all year. It must be washed and pressed you know, don'l they wear clean clothes in Aldergrove?" "Sure we do," 1 said defensively, "it's just that the general impression is that..." "Never mind, 1 get the pic- lure," he intcruptcd, "maybe we should have a little talk. Follow mc," and he swung around on his heel r.nd strutted off to the centre of town. Crusader Crow and I stumbled along behind in our showshoes. Santa's Plush Penthouse Office In the middle of Grant Land, Santa led us to the top of the settlement's tallest skyscraper aboard a glass elevator. When we debarked the elevator we walked into Santa's private penthouse office, a huge place that almost defies description. In the centre of the penthouse was a large burl topped desk covered in children's letters. Other sacks of mail leaned against the desk waiting to be opened (Courtesy Canadian Union of Postal Elves — J. Davidson). There were cork panels around the room, with things tacked on them. Some had designer's innovative drawings of new toys. others held profit and loss graphs, one had typed memos on changes to the criminal code dealing with breaking and entering and yet another listed night numbers for chimney sweeps around the world. There were maps with complicated routes drawn on them, and there were banks of filing cabinets thai Santa said contained his financial records and consumer reports. 1 began to realize what a tremendous jbb this man has to do. and what great responsibility is heaped upon him. Santa leaned forward and pushed a gold nugget button on the corner of his desk and a beautiful Eskimo girl in a long red robe appeared from nowhere. She had a tray and on "it was a cream soda for Santa, a shot of Navy rum for Crusader and a textbook on the introduction of characters for mc (The Book Shop, textbooks $2.00 cheap). The Corporate Structure My sailor companion mumbled something about changing into something more comfortable and Santa gave him an odd glance. 1 kicked Crusader in the shins to remind him where he was, then the girl vanished and I clutched the textbook firmly. "You have quite an operation here, people back home would never dream there is this much work attached to being Santa Claus," I remarked. Santa nodded with a kindly grin, "this much and a lot more," he said, "have you ever wondered about the aerodynamics of a reindeer? 1 have an entire floor of elves in this very building who do nothing all year but make a very merry May happiness always dwell with you. From our house to your house... thanks. Ray & Linda Palmer PALMER'S [US™* rMLIf IER * STEREO LTD. 27119 Fraser Hwy, Aldergrove 856-5855 design improvements to my sleigh and, develop new ways for reindeer to overcome their flight problems." He chuckled and sipped his cream soda, then continued: "It has been a particularly bad year, what with one thing and another. Inflation has spiraled our equipment and materials costs in a steadily upward direction, and the government has cut back on federal grants while refusing to give us tax exempt status as a religious order." 'The laggards make yer pay taxes?" shouted Crusader in disbelief. "You bet," replied the Christmas magnate with a chuckle, r~ "then we had labor trouble this year, too." Crusader Crow let out a loud guffaw and pounded his web foot on the burl desktop. "I knew it when I first laid me eyes on yer." said he, "there's snow on the roof and fire in the furnace, aye. Evcr'thin came out right in the end I hope?" "Oh no, you have the wrong idea," blushed Santa Claus, "1 mean there were the unions." "Unions?" 1 said, glancing at Crusader to notice the smile had escaped his face and his left eye was twitching. "Yes it's the elves you sec, they were all organized by some Len guy from Vancouver this year. Not that 1 mind you understand, there is a worldwide swing to the left and it was bound to reach Grant Land sooner or later. It's just that we worked so long and hard to settle the first contract and no sooner was it signed than some fellow name of Abe came in from Ottawa and rolled it back. The fairies in the mail room have been working to rule ever since." Pacing the e/f "You mean the A.I.B.," I suggested. "Sure, I guess he was THE Abe. If he did it anywhere else he's probably pretty famous alright." said Santa with a blank look on his face. "There must be some way to solve your problems," I stated, "is there no place you can get some sort of government subsidy? Maybe ir you offered to buy a nuclear reactor you could get a bird dogging fee or something." "Ho, ho. ho, now how would dial look if all the little kiddies found out." said Santa, and I realized instantly that he was right. Only One Solution "No, I'm afraid there is only one way to solve this dilemma," the old man said, staring at his desktop, "we have to start developing the north a little better." "How's that again matey?" enquired Crusader, bending an car to Santa Claus, "1 mean we have to cash in on some of these oil reserves and the minerals, too. "Look we've been doing surveys for centuries up here, we knew it would happen sooner or later. If wc could just get the hippie group that was here last summer to let us put a pipeline through the Eskimos' orange grove it would solve the whole problem. The Eskimos wouldn't mind, they haven't had a bumper crop since the ice age, anyway. "What's that place again you're from, where people wear the same suit all year long?" asked Santa (Grove Cleaners, suits cleaned $3.75 cheap). "Aldergrove," I replied in a hushed tone. "That's right, Aldergrove, 1 remember. Well listen, you tell your people back in Aldergrove this: tell them Old Santa is a Canadian, 1 mean I've been a Canadian since before there was a Canada, lived here all my life, and 1 get around in my business. I've seen a lot of things in my time and I've been really disappointed about only one thing when all is said and done." "What might that be shipmate?" asked Crusader Crow eagerly. "Well, I'm not too happy about sitting on top of an oil well and not having a bean in my pocket. - that's what," stated Santa Claus. jabbing his forefinger down on ihc burl desktop and leaning back with eyes wide open. "See my point?" he asked calmly. "Sure do," I said, glancing at my watch, "jumping jack-rabbits it's gone midnight." "Couldn't be," stated Crusader. "What's the matter? Hold on a minute, you're not going to turn into a pumpkin or anything right here in my office, are you? asked Santa with sweat gathering on his brow. "No, whatever gave you that idea?" said 1. "look. 1 work with 36.000 elves, I have to be prepared for anything." he replied, mopping his foreheud with a lace hanky. "No, it's just that we have got lo gel Otto's helicopter back so he can visit his Nanny for Christmas." I explained. "Don't worry about that," said Santa, "Otto and I are old friends, he's the only guy in Ottawa who knows how to get a job done. Say, who is this little fat guy, anyway?" "That's Crusader Crow," 1 volunteered. "He's a seaman, isn't he?" "Aye. Aye that I am," retorted Crusader. "Well, where's your parrot then?" "Parrot?" "Yes parrot, how can you be a mariner without a parrot?" said Santa pressing the gold button again. The beautiful Eskimo girl ap- prearcd from nowhere again, this time with a parrot, and she vanished just as quickly leaving ihe bird on Crusader's forewing. The pair of us scrambled for the elevators. Crusader with his bird and me holding my textbook tighter than ever. "Take care of yourselves, and a Merry Christmas." bellowed Santa with a smile as the doors closed. "But 1 don't want a filthy parrot." said the dumbfounded Crusader Crow as we stumbled over the ice floes in our snow- shoes. -30- That's newshound's talk for the end folks. P.S. — Rudy put the kettle on, we'll be home soon, and you better knock up a soundproof box for this parrot, he has a foul tongue and wc wouldn't want him scaring away advertisers.

INSURANCE CORPORATION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Comment The Aldergrove Star WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22,1976 Eddication ain't everythin' by Bill Clark Twice a day we walks up the street to the local coffee shop. Them fellers in the Guvmint wot is flounderin' arount trying to straighten out Inflashun shud cum along. They wud find out sorta quick like that there's a helluva difference between a free Martini in the Parliamentary lounge and a cup of coffee wich now costs thirty cents...an cums outta my pocket! Matter of fact, wen you cums rite down to it. I spose the Martinis cum outta my pocket too! Anyways, if you looks out in the back alley behint where I work, you shud purty soon sec a littel fire an a big tomater can full of coffee — wich is a helluva sight quicker way of solvin' Inflashun than them dingbats in Ottawa has cum up with, after a zillion tons of paper an a small army of flunkies workin' on it fer a year! Well, sir, like I sed, you goes up the street and you passes the Canada Manpower Office. They used to call it the Unemployment Office — but it seems these here politishuns has got real sensitive lately. Unemployment is now a Dirty Word — an they arc bustin' a gut to find sumthin' cisc to call it. They has a big sign in the window, wich announces a program callt: Creative Job Search Techniques It's been done by hand by the local staff an they done a purty good job! F'rinstance, they didn't try to do her in French, wich means they shur as hell have enuf •trubbcls without stuffin' anuthcr burr under the saddle! Jest the same, she is shur a helluva improvement over wot he i had in the Hungry Thirties. It's ! easier on the eyeballs (an mebbe i easier, on an empty stomach) to . find that a Creative Job Search Technique has a lotta pizazzzz and sound real high falutin', compared to wot I recall, wich sed: We Want Work! Well, sir. these young folks shur have their problems. Wen you sec them walkin' up the street, most of 'cm is walkin* real stratc, standin' up proud an stiff as a ramrod. This is becus they has ben pumped so full of knowledge they is afraid it's gonna cum out their earholcs, if they lean to one side! So now they arc sorta findin' that knowledge ain't a total solution — an to help these kids the Back Porch is gonna tell the story of Harpo Marx. Y'sec, Missus Marx figgcrcd the Good Lord had blessed her with five sons, wich wus purty good fcr a poor immigrant fambly, so she didn't even have to consult the Rabbi. Tlie Good Lord had done His part...the rest wus up to her! But Harpo...there was a problem! In this Missus Marx was confronted with a problem, resting uneasily on the fact that Harpo (insofar as Higher Education was concerned), was a Dead Loss! Here, the Back Porch, blatantly admitting plagiarism, steals from Alexander Woolcott — quoting an explanation in beautiful English ...which those young people clustered about the Manpower Office should read and medidate upon: "This mute tatterdemalion among the Four Marx Brothers, who plays the harp more potently than anyone else in this country, did go to a New York primary school for five years — but this does not count, as the five years were spent all in one grade. "As for music, he took exactly one harp lesson in his entire life — and to this day he cannot read a note of the mystifying symbols by arc released the melodies imprisoned on the printed page!" Upon this shattering revelation, the young folks cud mebbe meditate a wile, becus Mr. Wool cott continues on, to explain how this young feller approached a maestro of the Metropolitan Opera, humbly and hat in hand, pursuing Higher Knowledge. Seems like, after having a- chicved Fame and Fortune, Harpo invested in Higher Knowledge to the tune of Ten Dollars per half hour, provided by the maestro who was aghast at Harpo's musical heresies. "How, for instance, did he get that curious arpeggio?" Harpo showed him — and after ten minutes the maestro got the idea. When the half hour was up, the maestro had mastered most of them — so Harpo paid his Ten Dollars — and decided to remain uneducated. So take heart, kids. Education ain't everything!

A drinking husband's New Year's resolution So you've tried but you ean't stop drinking, and with an adoring wife and two (or more) loving children at home you are starting to feel like a bit of a heel. Well don't despair, here's the answer to your dilemma: Next time your welfare cheque arrives, peel $77.68 off the top and hand it to your wife, instructing her to go straight to the Aldergrove liquor store and buy a case of Liquor Control Board whiskey. When your wife returns tell her to crack open the first bottle and pour you a drink. Being an adoring wife she won't mind at all and she will mind even less when you reach into your pocket again and pay her a crisp green dollar for the drink. You can repeat this practise ten or eleven times a day. In thirty days, when the case is all gone and your next welfare cheque has arrived, you simply peel off another $77.68 off the top and start the ball rolling again. In fifteen years, when your body is worn to a frazzle from alcohol consumption and your fingers arc numb from opening welfare cheques, you simply have to have the decency to expire in your sleep without making too much noise. By lhat time your wife will have $56,940.00 tucked away in a shoebox at the back of her closet, ttiis of course being the proceeds from the bar she has been operating for you. When you think about it. $56,940.00 is enough for her to pay off the mortgage, put the kids through college, buy a new wardrobe, meet a decent man and forget she ever knew a bum like vou. Agreed to disagree Letters to the Editor Will you do anything about this shabby mess j Editor. The Star, Dear Sir, The following is an open letter tot Honourable W.R. Bennett — Premier, Honourable Evan M. Wolfe — Minister of Finance, Honourable G.B. Gardom — Attorney General, Honourable H.A. Curtis — Minister of Municipal Affairs, and Mr. Don Morton, Chairman — B.C. Assessment Authority. Dear Sirs, Surrey Council, at its regular meeting 29 November, 1976, joined hands with you gentlemen to condone violations of the Assessment Act by the area assessor and the assessment commissioner. The assessment commissioner, in his letter 5 September 1975 to Surrey Council endeavoring to justify his violation of section II of the Assessment Act, wrote that the authority given to him in section 10 (2) of the act, to correct errors in the completed assessment roll of section 3, also extended to rolls that had been aulhcnticatcd by a court of revision notwithstanding section The Aldergrove Star Established 1957 Published every Wednesday at 27120 Fraser Highway, Aldergrove, British Columbia CENTRAL FRASER VALLEY STAR PUBLISHING LTD.

Postage paid In Aldergrove, B.C. II of the act. Section II gives a finality to the assessment roll after it has been authenticated by a court of revision. (One docs not alter the books after they have been audited.) The solicitor for the Union of B.C. Municipalities was asked and paid for his opinion of section 10/2. He stated that section 10 did not nullify section II. One of two solicitors obtained by the B.C. Assessment Authority, to discuss by phone from Victoria, with the court of revision, the matter of the 1974 authenticated roll being altered by the area assessor and assessment com- missioncr, told the court that in his opinion, the authenticated roll of section II was sacrosant. The area assessor and the assessment commissioner did not stop with extending the meaning and intent of section 10/2 to nullify section II. but extended their interpretation of section 10/2, so as to provide them with arbitrary powers, such as: — to enforce the dealinc date of scction33/3 upon some property owners and not on others; — to appoint themselves as a two man appeal body with no statutory terms of reference; — to pluck some property owners from the statutory appeal procedure and place them in the preferential care of their illegal two men appeal body; — to disregard the Assessment Appeal Board at their whim and fancy and thereby meddle with the public purse; — to use supplementary rolls to reduce assessments on authenticated rolls although there is no statutory authority for such use; — to present a court of revision for the following tax year with supplementary rolls that are based on violations of the Assessment Act; — to present to the Assessment Appeal Board supplementary rolls that arc based on violations of the Assessment Act (The 1976 Assessment Appeal Board happened to approve such supplementary rolls); — to make the assessment appeal procedure a sham that justice is being done; — to consider that they are greater than the statutes they administer. On 31 August. 1976, the premier wrote that he felt quite sure that the finance minister would give assurance that the interpretation of the act by the assessment commissioner was quite in order. The finance minister has not yet given the assurance nor is it likely that he will be able to do so. The finance minister in his letter. 2 March, 1976, wrote in part as follows — "I would agree, the court should consider all relevant sections and carry out its duties as set out in the Assessment Act". Would he consider that the Assessment Appeal Board, and the assessment commissioner should do likewise? One of the duties of the B.C. Assessment Authority is "To ensure that the general public is adequately informed respecting all relevant sections and carry out its duties as set out in the Assessment Act". Would he consider that the Assessment Appeal Board, and the assessment commissioner should do likewise? One of the duties of the B.C. Assessment Authority is "To ensure that the general public is adequately informed respecting procedures relating to property assessment in the province". Assistance needed Editor, The Star, Dear Sir, Wc wish to ask the assistance of your readers with research we arc doing for a CBC-TV program on attitudes towards Canadian participation in the First World War. Wc arc particularly Interested in contacting people with first-hand experience of dissent, organized resistance, draft evasion or desertion in B.C. or elsewhere in Canada. Replies will be treated in confidence. Please contact: Mike Poole, Producer, TV, CBC - Box 4600, Vancouver, B.C. V6B 4A2. Certainly the authority would appear inept at the least if it had to inform the public of the procedures adopted by the assessment commissioner as narrated here. Will the authority amend the information shown on the reverse side of its assessment notices to indicate what class of property owners do not have to observe the deadline date? Merely asking the question highlights the ridiculous situation brought about by the wild inter- prctation of section 10/2 by the assessment commissioner. There has not been any indication from you that you have done or will do anything about the shabby mess. One wonders whether or not the administrators arc in supreme control. By the way, will you please tell mc who arranged for the solicitor to appear at the court of revision to take over from Ihc local assessor in order to defend the assessment commissioner's inter- prctation of section 10(2). The best the solicitor could do was to suggest that the chairman vacate the chair because of his possible bias. Did the solicitor think that the chairman would violate his oath of office?

Recently the provincial Finance Ministers met with their federal counterpart to hammer out new financial arrangements. The outcome was not what most Canadians would call a success — they agreed to disagree. The ntost contentious issue was • the proposed cessation of revende guarantees originally designed to provide the provinces with funds to replace those lost through 1972 federal tax changes. In lieu of the guarantees the provinces wanted four more tax points from Ottawa which wished to surrender only a single tax point. Sinclair Stevens. Progressive Conservative finance critic, called for a continuation of the revenue guarantees until an agreement could be reached. If. at the meeting of the first Ministers this week, the two sides cannot yet agree to agree. Mr. Stevens' proposal should be instituted. Otherwise, because . the revenue guarantees arc under federal legislation, there is the very real prospect of unilateral aclion by the Trudeau Liberals to impose a solution. And that would be an unacceptable move today. Negotiating skill and common sense arc required today, not the inflexibility of Mr. MacDonald. the Minister of Finance. Mr. Stevens realizes that the provinces arc equal partners with the federal authority in Confederation, a fact which Mr. Trudeau has never bothered himself with. And when Mr. MacDonald says that what the provinces have to think about is — "by ganging up on Ottawa for a larger share of tax revenues they arc making the separatist campaign of the Parti Quebecois easier." I do not perceive ony logic in his statement — just an unbelievable amoung of irresponsibility. On the same topic, finance, 1 would like to discuss another federal-provincial program, equalization grants to the poor provinces, lt is time that this program was re-organized in order that Canadian taxpayers may see that their money is directed towards the individuals who need it. It is time the fact was acknowledged that all the Canadian provinces have citizens who do not earn enough funds to enjoy a decent .standard of living. A negative income tax scheme which would provide a guaranteed annual income must replace the equalization grants. The adoption of this proposal would effectively fulfill the desire of all Canadians to have an equalization program which strengthens Confederation, a welfare program which meets the demands of social justice and a limited government sector that would ensure a thriving national economy. \ If people arc to participate effectively in the democratic process they must know how their money is being spent. Equalization grants arc meant to keep taxpayers in the dark; it is time : someone turned the light on. By J.E. MILLER The shepherds guarding their flocks that night so long ago were expecting no change from their routine tasks. They were simple fellows, some old, some young. They were wanderers, like their flocks of sheep that roamed up and down the grasslands of Judea day after day. By night, they rested in open fields. That night they were in the valley below Bethlehem. In a few days, they would be close to Jerusalem, the big market for sheep. Those without blemish would bring a good price as sacrificial animals for the temple. Some of the shepherds were dozing. A few were watching. On that night, we can imagine the air was very still, and the sky was full of stars. Perhaps there was no moon. On such a night, the few watchful shepherds may have been discussing the wonders of the starry heavens. So they were quite unprepared for the sudden radiance that shone all around them. The light was so bright that it roused the sleeping ones. All the shepherds were terrified to see an angel poised in the sky over their heads. In a soothing voice the angel told them not to be afraid. What more was he saying? At first they could hardly believe their ears. Then in a moment they were so caught up in the charm of the cheering words "good news"..."great joy" that all at once they were hearing all the words: "for to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour. And this will be a sign for you. You will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths lying in a manger." Before they had time to ask any of the questions that were thronging (heir minds, the whole sky was full of angels singing. Their heavenly song echoed and reechoed from the very top of the sky to the surrounding hills and back again: "Glory to God in the highest...glory, glory, glory...and on earth peace..." When the angels went away from them into heaven, their song still sang in the hearts of the shepherds. They approached .each other in the darkness. •*What'didyousee?" "Did you hear what I heard?" "Is it true that the Son of God has come to save the twelve tribes of Israel?" Their enthusiasm knew no bounds. At last on of them said: "Let us go over to Bethlehem and sec this thing that has happened." And away they hurried to find the manger. When the shepherds arrived in Bethlehem, they began making inquiries among the dozing pilgrims as to where the Saviour might be found. A few askctl "What Saviour?" The shepherds wanted to know if anyone had seen the angels, "What angels?" Some of the wayfarers were rude. Patiently they kept asking here and there, finally confining their questions to this: "Where can wc find a new-born baby in this town?" Someone told them to try the inn. One of the servants there remembered sending a man and a pregnant woman to the nearby stable. The shepherds moved down the path in their sandals, whispering. Joseph came to the door of the stable, at their knock. Mary heard them talking and told Joseph tc let the men come in. In the flickering yellow light of the oil-lamp they saw the young mother seated on straw. She was looking over the side of an old manger. The men peered over the sides. Inside was a bundle of white swaddling cloths. Mary knew they were trying to see her precious baby. She pulled the cloth away from the baby's face. The men looked with mouths open, and fell to their knees. They were only poor, humble shepherds, yet they had a gift of wonder to lay at the feet of the Christ-child when they found him at last. On the same night a brilliant star appeared in the caster sky. Three wise men in Persia saw the star, studied it carefully, and compared notes. They were excited at the prospect of where this star came from and why it had not appeared in the night sky before. Yet they could come to no agreement. Whether it was several stars or planets in conjunction, or whether it was a fiery body without a tail, the star had special meaning. They were sure of this. They consulted spme of the old astrological predictions and found nothing that would fit the situation. They tried some of the old Greek and Persian tracts but found nothing which might apply. It wasn't until they went over the ancient Jewish scriptures that the wise men saw the meaning of the big star. There was an old prophecy of Balaam which said: "I shall see him, but not now, I shall behold him, but not near. A star shall arise out of Jacob and a sceptre shall spring out of Israel." The star then would mean that a Saviourof the Jews had been born. It was possible that the Saviour had come to save not only the Jews, but the Medcs. the Assyrians, the Romans, the Babylonians, and the savages farther to the east. At once the three men left their tents determined to follow the star. They packed food and water and the special gear of rich philosophers, and started out on camels to find the place of the King of kings. None of them expected to reach their destination in one night. There was some disagreement among them about whether the star would appear again on the following night, so ils path could be traced. Near dawn the big star was pale in the western sky. and they turned their slowly plodding camels toward it. They pitched their tents by day, and mounted again when the evening sky turned deep blue and the big star came up again. If this star foretold the King of the Jews, then it was important to the wise men to sec the King, to pay homage and to bring him gifts. The trip occupied several days. On the last night, entering Jerusalem, they seemed to be almost under the big star. In the early evening the three wise men went to Solomon's court and stood as was required in the outer court of the Gentiles. They asked one of the priests of Levi. "Where is the newborn King of the Jews?" The priest brought them to one of the high members of the Sanhedrin, and the wise men explained the new star and their interpretation of the happy sign. The high priest asked questions, frowned, and said he knew nothing of such a sign. As a mark of respect to the rich visitors, he told them the beliefs of the Jews about the messiah. Among these prophecies was one that mentioned the town of David. "And you, Bethlehem, are not the least of Judah's principalities; for out of you shall come, forth a .ruje^,,, who will shephcpt},umy people." this, said ttie wise men, would,,appear ,0 be ^*e r"ost promising clue because, as they approached Jerusalem, the star was close overhead. Bethlehem, five miles south of the holy city, would be a good place to go. They thanked the high priest and camped outside the walls for the night, It was decided if the new King was not in Bethlehem, the wise men would turn homeward. That night the high priest watched the sky and discovered the star himself. Then he reported the news to King Herod. The wise men were summoned for an audience. Herod offered some grapes and figs and asked many questions. He hoped that if the Persian philosophers found the baby, they would have the courtesy to inform him. "By the way." he said, "if the star first appeared when the new baby was born, wc should be able to determine the age of the new king by knowing how long the star was in the sky." One of the wise men shook his head. "We saw the star recently." he said, "bul il was possible that it had been in the sky. perhaps on another path, for many months. Wc would doubt this, but it was possible." The three wise men exchanged gifts with Herod and left. When the star came to rest over the place where Ihe young child was, the wise-men rejoiced. They knew they had come to the end of their search. They had been guided by a star to the manger. They brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They can be symbols for us: gold — our deepest possessions; frankincense — our highest thoughts; myrrh — our deepest longings and willing sacrifice of self; all these we can bring and offer in grateful service to the newborn king of our hearts and the eternal Saviour of all mankind.

January 1, 1977 — The mid-noon sun, low on the horizon and weak from having done battle with dark and ominous Fraser Valley clouds, sends a few scattered rays through the drawn curtains. It's five degrees centigrade outside. You are flat on your back and trying heroically to open your eyes, but they feel like they've been glued together with cold tar. Your head is like a merry-go-round, an enormous gyroscope that whirls around at unbelievable speed, only to stop every minute and continue the wild rotation in the opposite direction. You try to moan, but you can't. Some evil person has stuffed a greasy mop down your throat. You want to put a hand to your incandescent forehead, which feels like it has just been dug out from the infernal pit... but you do not have the necessary strength. You feel ten-thousand times worse than you would if you only had the yellow fever or beri beri. You'll have to get rid of your stomach contents, you have to throw up. It's only the seventy, eighth time this morning. But it doesn't materialize. The two dozen wet dishrags and the pot of molten lava remain inside, bouncing between your guts and a place just below your adam's apple. You wish you'd die. But you don't. Surprisingly few people die on a New Years day. The sun disappears (for how long is it in the sky on this short wintry day. anyhow?) and dusk seeps slowly through the room. In the meantime you've recovered sufficiently to enable you to reach — with a trembling hand — for the aspirins on the night table. You pour six of the little devils in behind your clenched teeth, think about it for a while and stuff three more inside your parched lips. They don't, however, disappear without a struggle. The mop is in the way. You stagger into the bathroom and run cold water in the sink (avoiding, very intelligently, to move your head in any vertical or horizontal direction). The ice-cold water helps, not much — but it helps, slightly. You decide that this is it. Never again arc you going to drink alcohol to excess. As a matter of fact, you make up your mind that you'll never again in your life touch alcoholic beverages. (That was New Years resolution number one. You might not know this, but you're stuck with that promise, and soon we shall stick you with one morc). You grab a face cloth and carefully, oh so carefully, you wipe your wet brow. The cloth falls to the floor, and you crawl into the livingroom and sink into an easy chair. "Smoke?" You reach for an Export A and search without luck for a match book. For crying out loud, the twenty- four dishrags and the hot cast iron pot start to do a jig way down your innards. You throw the cigarette aside and stare helplessly into the chandelier. The dishrags remain where they arc. even the one hiding just behind your larynx. You feel like someone is trying to turn you inside out like an old glove. "How about that cigarette?" "No. the devil take me. Don't smoke; will never light a cigarette again. Never, ever." Well, perhaps we can make a note of that. New Years resolution number two, never to smoke in the new year. You feel really awful. You are sick, sick, sick. You remember briefly the chick with whom you were making beautiful music the night before. She wasn't your wife. You don't care about that bird cither — now. You don't know for sure whether or not your wife found out. As a matter of fact you cannot recall what went on after the midnight hour, when the New Year was born. But you have a vague feeling that you didn't behave very nice towards your wife. "Ready for New Years resolution number three?" You nod, painfully. And decide then and there that you will be faithful to your wife — all the way — in 1977. The most noble resolution any man can make. Wc honestly and sincerely admire you for that — here's our hand. And a slap on the shoulder, you're a beautiful person. No, no, wc won't touch the gyroscope...but do go back to bed now. You're good for nothing, anyhow. "Oh yeah," you protest feebly with a smile only slightly triumphant — remind you of resolution number one.. And now, get back to bed. Diablo knows his business. He pulls out your file and glances through the folder. "Real bastard. Drinks and smokes like the devil himself; docs not pass up any opportunity to cheat on his wife. A one* hundred percent sonofabitch. Well on his way io Hades. Looking forward to meeting him when the time is ripe. Report January 3, 1976." The devil pulls his goatee and angrily stomps the cloven hoof. He doesn't like it, but these are the unpleasant chores attendant to the job. He grabs his pen and scratches out the,year-old report. "Has become a 'better' human being on January 1, 1977; sad case, — nothing more for me to do — for the moment," he adds under miscellaneous. look in on your wife. She is asleep. You dress, gulp down a cup of black coffee on your way through the kitchen, and put on your overcoat and step outside. You need fresh air, a real long walk in the fresh air. A short way down the street you meet an aquaintance. He shakes your hand, slaps your back, and wishes you a Happy New Year. You cannot quite remember who he is, but you recall that you met him in about the same spot exactly one year ago. "Let's drop in somewhere and have a couple." You shake your head. You're not going to drop in anywhere, and you're certainly not going to 'have a couple'. Not a single one. None, whatsoever. "That's all over," you say. "I have decided not to touch the stuff in '77." "Yeah? Really? I have to table once, and flops his large stomach on the clean top. "I'll have two glasses of beer, Sam, to start out. And vou? (he looks at you) a glass of tomato juice?" "Tomato juice?" "You have not forsaken tomato juice as well?" he asks sarcastically. From the counter comes the well-known sound — splash, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle. It sounds like the angels playing their harps. Your friend grins and sends stares of contempt in your dircclion. You cannot tell, but two small horns are growing from his forehead. His ears fold in and change into pointed shapes, and his long tail merrily sweeps the dirty floor. "Beer, Sam," you cry. "Couple of 'em." "Cigarette?" asks your friend. With a trembling hand you grasp wildly for it, and your friend strikes a match. You have now broken two of your solemn promises to yourself. Well, they would never have made it intact to the end of the year, anyway. Without taking the glass from your lips you pour down the content of the first one. You feel just great. Another one, and another. And then another... You arc on your way back to becoming a living, breathing human being once more. A little later the opportunity to test your last resolution presents itself. You fight valiantly, and wc know that you would have won had it not been for a cute young thing with a beautiful short tail and wee tiny horns who'd taken up abode in your left ear and whispering had told you: "Whal? You don't dare? You mean to tell me that you don't dare? Now, really. Didn't you leave a lighted cigarette on her night tabic? Have you not already broken your second resolution? "Yes, yes, but..." "And haven't you been drinking like a sieve up until just one hour ago? Have you not — and 'Hi Tiger, two down, one to go?'

You'd swear that you were alone . in the room, you cannot sec him, but let us assure you, he's there, and what's more he's already working. You stare into the ceiling wilh a glazed look, and suddenly you hear a well-known sound. Devil may take you if there isn't a guy standing at the foot end of your bed, pouring draft beer from a fresh keg...splash, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle. You move, your beady eyes fast as lightning and look toward the foot end of the bed. Not the slightest sign of a beer keg. You close your eyes, and again you hear that familiar and beloved sound. No mistake here, you know that sound. At the moment you cannot remember a morc beautiful noise than the sound of draft beer running into a glass. Cool, and with just the right amount of a head. Splash, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle. You do not want to think about that beer anymore. You have decided never again to touch a glass of the stuff, and you bite your lip and look up into the ceiling. But now your liver has received the message. It cries out absolutely hysterically and obscenely for a glass of draft beer. You arc unflinching. Not on your life. Only a mouthful? your liver cries. No way. A drop? Just one eensy, teensy little drop? No, no, no NOI . Whiskey, then? You cannot fight this constant admire your willpower. Wish J could make up my mind to follow your example." Your friend talks and talks, and you follow along, entering your favorite neighborhood pub. You can be friendly, can't you? You are not going to let him buy a round. Your will is like cast iron.

Legion squeeze by Drug Mart The Aldergrove Legion and the Drug Mart played a good solid game Saturday night with the Legion squeezing by 2-1. The first period was a rough one but both teams played a good defensive game. Drug Mart opened the scoring, scoring their only goal of the game late in the opening period, a beautiful goal from Wade Sturwold, assisted by Karry Russell.

The period remained scoreless and the final score was 2-1. The S.U. Jets hosted the Aldergrove Jets at North Surrey on December 18. The weather could not have been better for a soccer game, although the field was a little muddy and wet. Both teams at the opening whistle pressed for that opening goal. It seemed that neigher team was to score as both defences came up strong to stop any dangerous attacks in their end of the pitch. The Aldergrove Jets struck first at the 15 minute mark, the goal was scored by Joey Talbot. The goal seemed to lift the Jets as they had been playing rather poorly up to that time. The first half ended with the Aldergrove Jets holding on to a slim 1-0 lead. The second half started with the Aldergrove Jets playing like they normally do. The forwards were pressing the ball between them with greater accuracy, while the half-backs and full backs kept the pressure on. At the 33-minutc mark Martin Chambers scored from the direct result of the improved passing up front. He received the ball off the foot of Dana Ferguson and found himself in alone on the Surrey goal. He made no mistake with a well- placed low shot into the net. Then at the 35-minute mark. Joey scored on a beautiful play between him and Dana. Joey passed the ball over to Dana who then passed it back to Joey, who had streaked past the defence and was in alone on the Surrey goalie. Joey made no mistake as he scored his third goal. The final goal by the Jets was again scored by Joey at the 48-minute mark. The S.U. Jets got their only goal at the 49-minute mark on a play that seemed to be off-side. The goal ruined the shut-out bid of Donald Ojala. Donald did not have too many saves to make but those he did were labeled to count. The Jets' next game is against the S.U. Bramhas at Parkside on January 8. This game is important for both teams as it will decide who will win the division championship. Both teams have only lost once and the loss was against each other. DAM'S THUMP ELKS Dam's Lincoln Mercury thumped the Aldergrove Elks 7-2 in a rather one-sided encounter. Most of the play was down in Elks' end. Dam's took a first period 4*0 lead and then ran into a stream of penalties in the second period, which prevented them from scoring. Elks' first goal coming this period. In the third period Dam's shot in three more as Elks added their second. The final score being 7-2. Dam's goals from Duane Zazula with three. Henry Mayer with two.

Hearts in command Aldergrove Hearts were guests to Surrey United Blues on Saturday in a very important game the result of which could keep them in second spot or closer in the League. After two consecutive defeats, the only two of the season, things looked a bit gloomy when Captain Philip Anderson called off with an injury, regular fullback Robert McArthur out with the flu, and winger/inside player Paolo Zaro did not turn up. Coach Syd Anderson was forced to maked changes, and decided to play halfback. John McRory at fullback, with John Hildcbrant and Gavin Willimont the halfbacks. The first ten to fifteen minutes was all blues with the Hearts having difficulty getting organised. Tho Hearts eventually put their thing together and started to play some beautiful soccer and it was not long before Billy Clark put (hem on the score sheet. The Hearts went two up just on the half-time whistle, the goal being credited lo Cary Meire. The second half started the way the first finished with the Aldergrove boys in complete command. The Blues did manage to break through (he odd time but goalie Gagner and his defenccmen were clearing their lines with case. Willi five minutes left. Hearts were awarded a penalty shot and Stewart Tockaryk was given the job of putting the ball past the keeper which he did. A great game by Hearts, one of the best they have played this season. One spectator was heard saying that the Aldergrove team was like a well oiled machine. Well done boys! Final score S.U. Blues 0 - Hearts 3.

Aldergrove were doing all the pressing at the start and after 15 minutes took a well-deserved lead when the ball broke to Bill Docherty who fired the ball into the net via the foot of a Chilliwack Defender. Aldergrove kept the pressure on but on occasions, Chilliwack would find a way through, but the Aldergrove defence was handling everything that came their way. Ten minutes after going behind, Chilliwack tied the game when Ihe Aldergrove defence got tied up to let the home team through. Aldergrove fought back and had some chances but could not make good on them, by shooting wide A real good effort by Wayne Smallenbcrg just before half-time Iiit the post.

From Sunlite Construction on behalf of Chris and Linda Wandler and All the SUNLITE Staff The Aldergrove Legionnaires elected themselves a new slate of officers at their December meeting. An encouraging sign is the fact thift a good infusion of new blood took place; encouraging from the point of view of new ideas to be introduced, and from the point of view of membership participation in general operation and policy-making.of the Branch. No one can now accuse the Aldergrove Legion of being run by a clique. The new president is Joe Azyan. He will be very ably supported by Ann Campbell as first vice-president, and Syd Murrell as second vice-president. Secretary Charles Ford is a newcomer to the executive while last year's treasurer, Ben Greeer, continues in that role. Also a repeater, is Tim Kerslake as Sgt.-at-Arms. Members of the Executive elected for a two-year term are: Ernie Bryan, Fred Zaharia, Walter Hopkins, and FIGHT THE fl TCCRir" i CHRISTMAS! Gene Barfoot. Elected for a one-year term arc John Feather- stone, Harry Gibbon, Bill Ford, and Les Staples,-fresh faces this year. The Ladies' Auxiliary also elected a new siate headed by Margaret Gervan as President, with Nellie Nachbar as first vice-president, Edith Murrcll as second vice-president. Secretary is Lillian Davidson, treasurer Liz Avery, and Sgt.-at-Arms. Lena Carr. The Executive consists of Helen Drew, . Dorothy Clark, Winifred Thompson, Marion Norfolk. Kay Skolos, Alma Verrault. and Florence Veale. All the new officers will be installed at a Sunday afternoon meeting. The date has been set for January 9 at 1:00 p.m. For that day only the usual Flea Market has been cancelled so that the hall may be used for the installation. Money-wise the great event at the December meeting was the donation of a cheque for $5,000. by the L.A. This represents a tremendous amount of work by the dedicated ladies, and it is difficult to find words with which lo praise them adequately. The Branch donated $100. to the CKN W Orphan's fund and $50. to aid in the establishment of' a Legion Branch in the Veddar area. A final little snippet is that the membership in the Branch not counting the L.A. has now exceeded the 350 mark by four. The Branch continues to grow. _&W_ «& *iA I o oil of our friends... may the peace and joy of this beautiful season always be yours.

Municipal planner Ken Major then asked councilors if they wished to assist Rynn. "If he doesn't like his place, why doesn't he sell it?" asked Aid. Bill Blair. "It seems that everyone who doesn't like his place wants to split it up. "It generates more money that way, I suppose." Municipal planner Ken Major said it was also felt that five-acre lots in the 16 Avenue area "would mean an intrusion to the rural character." Mayor George Driediger said his greatest concern was that the This group of Bradner School angels sang of Angels 2000 years ago. Baptist church seeking lot approval MATSQUI — The Aldergrove Baptist church is seeking appro- val for the subdivision of a piece of land on an extension of Swensson Road east of Le Feuvre Road. The site has been proposed by the church as a new location for their place of worship. Council's approval of the sub- division Monday, carried the provision that the owner of the property must pave the road extension prior to construction of the church. Church officials have not purchased the property yet, but hold an option to purchase. If the present owner agrees to pave the road, the church application will then proceed to the regional district board and then onto the provincial government fur final approval. Mrs. A. J.

Rynn recently tried to start a hog farm operation on the 15 acres but found out that the shape of the land did not meet requirements for property line setbacks.

DeJong said he was disappointed that the committee membership would not take a firm stand on budget increases. He said the library committee is looking at a budget increase of 11 percent in the new year which translates into a 25 percent increase for library expenditures at the municipal level. "I don't think the Fraser Valley regional library is the only source of library material in the valley," said DeJong, explaining that various churches and schools operate libraries. Council echoed his concern over the budget jump when they were informed that salaries account for' 82 percent of the budget.

It has been under construction for two and a half years. Old Bradner pork up for sale "I got poked on the jaw on one occasion, by trying to go down and get rid of some rowdies down there," said Les Fatkin Tuesday. Fatkin, of the Bradner Community Club, explained that the old bradner community park on Haverman Road is being sold to stop the use of the land by undesirables. The park, which was given to the club by Matsqui council in the late 'forties, was used for many years for softball and soccer games, as well as other community events. When the club acquired new land on Bradner Road in the 'sixties, however, the old park became less operative. In recent months residents surrounding the park have been plagued by strange people who frequent the place after dark. The night visitors throw wild parties, consume alcohol, drive speeding cars in circles and try to catch or scare wild fowl in an adjacent bird sanctuary. Community club members voted, with only two in opposition, to ask Matsqui council to sell the land and put the proceeds in trust for future recreational development. The property consists of 5.01 acres of cleared land suitable for agricultural use. Tenders close at noon, Friday, January 7, 1977. EQUIPMENT LTD.

The people, places, and conditions connected with His birth are indeed plain. As a result, many have failed to recognize His birth For whal ii is — the most significant event in history — God taking to Himself humanity for purposes of man's salvation. Zacharias did not belong to the elite among the Jewish priesthood who lived in the capitol city of Jerusalem. They were "scholars" who had already detailed the events of the Saviour's coming. They had absolutely no doubt that He would fit into their scheme of things. But God by-passed them and appeared to the priest Zacharias who lived humbly and quietly in the hill country of Judca, He was the first to know that tlie Saviour would soon arrive. It was well known in Jerusalem that God's angel had appeared to Zacharias as he served in the Temple. Yet, it would seem, the religious leaders discounted it completely. Who among the wise and the proud would have believed that the humble maiden Mary was God's choice to hear His Almoin- icd One? The fact that she lived in despised Nazareth of Galilee would have made the notion more incredible. Surely the future King would arise from the prominent and the privileged! But no. the unassuming Joseph was to be His iatherly guardian, and the poor ■.arcnier's home His environment. Bethlehem too was relatively small and insignificant among the scores of Jud'.'an villages. Nor could it accommodate the hundreds who pressed into it. at the Kmpernr's command, to be registered. Even a stable was a welcomed alternative to the open Ileitis! How many knew that a Baby wus born amidst those rustic stalls and cradled in an animal's feed box? Nor was it in ihe pit lace in Jerusalem thai God announced this greatest of e- \ciits. but to simple shepherds in the hilts. They were the first to see. lo worship, and to tell. God by-passed the prominent, I he proud, and the powerful, and moved among the poor, the simple, and the weak. Thus many have discounted these events as not being a work of God. Yet here was nothing less than God taking id Himself humanity for purposes of salvation. The greatness of the event of that night of nights is indicated by the four Angelic appearances that preceded it; to Zacharias, to Mary, to Joseph, and to "the Shepherds. The greatness of that event was indicated also by: the prophecies of Zacharias, Elizabeth. Mary, Simeon, and Anna, the appearance of the star, the travel, gifts, and worship of the wise men. the Angelic message to the Magi not to return home by way of Herod's palace. Most of all the greatness of that event is indicated in the One who was born; His perfect, sinless life, His teachings, claims, and miracles. His death and resurrection, and the power of His Spirit to transform all who turn from their sin and put their trust in Him as personal Saviour and Lord. Yes, the activity of God in history deliberately avoids modes of human grandeur and esteem. Yet, for those whose understanding is opened by grace, there is in the events of Bethlehem unsurpassed wisdom, glory, and power. The good news concerning Jesus Christ is the "power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes." Do not discount the New Testament record concerning Jesus Christ. Study it honestly. Its evidence will persuade you. Nothing less than your eternal destiny is at stake. The Pastor and people of Aldergrove Baptist Church wish God's richest blessings to be yours in Christ, at this season, and in the coming year. CONSCIENCE AND COMMENT Birthday important but He is more so The celebration of Christ's birthday is important and exciting but the day itself is not so important. The important thing is that He was born, that He came. When each of us arc expecting someone for Christmas it is exciting, but the high point is the arrival, the tension of waiting seems to pass. The important fact to the world must be that Jesus came. Let's focus a little on the family as this is so important a part of community life. God so ordered His universe and the basis of our democratic society is centered on continued page 15 The First Christmas re- enacted by grade 1,2,3 and 4 at Coghlan Elementary. Staff Photo A Christmas giving message Bringing gifts to the Bethlehem babe by the wise men of old was not a "duty chore," — rather, it was a joyful experience; a gift of love and homage to one they had never before seen, bul whom their spiritual consciousness revealed would be the word of God made manifest in the flesh, — the saviour, Christ Jesus. For many tired Chrislmas A whale in the mountain By REV. K. NEILL FOSTER A report out of California is very interesting. Scientists there claim they have found a fossilized remains of a whale high in coastal mountains. And according lo the geologists, the find represents something completely new in the established orders laid down by the reigning high priests of evolution. This whale, beached rather high, is now being claimed as another missing link. Its age has already been announced as several million years. Man's efforts to fabricate his own theory of origins would be simply ludicrous — if these same efforts did not have very solemn overtones. Many of today's educators have made a religion out of evolution. ANGLICAN CHURCH ST. ALBAN's-OTTER Sunday Service and Sunday School 9:30 a.m. ST.

Jim Ford 856-8957 To suggest that the whale find may mean something other than what they say it means is, to some, educational hercsay. But there are hundreds of scientists today, many with impe- cable credentials, who scowl indulgently at the evolutionists. They know better. Though the history of missing links is full of hoaxes and mistakes, millions have embraced Darwin's theory. And they have, as a direct result, repudiated creation as described in the Scriptures. Maybe there once was a whale in the California mountains. Maybe its remains are very old too. But Noah's flood could have lifted Mr. Whale too. And there is growing evidence that the biblical records are reliable. Evidence that should not be ignored. By STANLEY CHURCHILL shoppers, even in our affluent society today, the mad shopping spree of finding and sending out Christmas gifts — (with the certainty of their bills in the New Year!) — is too often morc of a heartache than a joyful experience. Instead, let us take a few moments to still the tumult of our thoughts and think back to the origin of all this Christmas giving. This will give us the basic motive of gratitude, calm thinking, and unselfish pleasure. Let us include with out material gifts an uplifting thought which can be shared and treasured long after the material thing is forgotten. This spiritual gift is not measured in dollars, and the only returns are love and kind memories. When you give a material gift, the receiver has it and the sender hasn't; but when you give uplifting thought, both share it, and it is spontaneously multiplied. In the words of a lovely hymn: "All perfect gifts arc from above, and all our blessings show... the amplitude of God's dear love, which every heart may know." Let us not lose sight of the origin of Christmas, and — let it not become merely a "Santa Claus festival" for our children — and just a traditional time to salve our consciences with much merrymaking and needless — (often useless!) — gift giving. Mary Baker Eddy, who dis- 'covered and founded Christian Science, wrote in her book. Miscellany: "Christmas to me is the reminder of God's great gift, — His spiritual idea, man and the universe, a gift which so transcends mortal, material, sensual giving that the merriment, mad ambition, rivalry, and ritual of our common Christmas seem a human mockery of the real worship in commemoration of Christ's coming." In our giving this Christmas, then, let us think back to the wisemen of old, and let our giving he emblematical of the spritual leading which motivated them to follow the Star, find the manger, and lav their gifts before Christ Child.

Therefore, it is understandable that God would choose this way to reveal himself. In the tension of the times, for this particular family it must have been like a pressure cooker. They had to travel to register, the town was full of people. Mary was pregnant and about to deliver, a room had to be found and the only place available wus the stable behind the inn. I am sure at that time it did not matter to them where they stayed. We cannot know all of the difficulties of that time. We hear very little of Joseph, but wc all know and often meditate on what a beautiful person Mary must have been. This can apply today, wc do not know what kind of pressure our neighbour is under. Wc need to recognize that each family is part of God's plan, and even though life may not look so good from our point of view, wc cannot say there is no room in our lives for them. The words 'no room in the Inn', take on a much wider meaning if we consider the .Inn to be our heart. Wc must stirely learn that if Jesus is to be born in our Inn, wc must first learn humility as wc stand with all of those who were at the stable. Those in the stable, the wiscmen. the shepherds, witnessed the miracle and went forward lo spread the 'Good News'. When the good news is spread, the difficult times tend to fade away. We still have the Hcrods with us who scoff at Ihe Christian life. Many arc so comfortable that they leave no room in their hearts for God's love. Because of this love God chose to be born of a woman and enter this world as you and I. Because of this birth mankind has struggled with this man 'Jesus' who came for our salvation and mankind will continue to struggle as is the plan, for man to choose. Let us not forgcl the greatest gift given so long ago. May this season be one of full realization that it is the birth of Jesus in our hearts that we must really strive for. The greatest gift, ihc love of Jesus. OPEN CHRISTMAS DAY AND BOXING DAY. Waltz ond polka to the Now Year In our Crystal Ballroom.

If you were to ask them for an opinion of these places, you might receive a surprising number of different answers. Toronto impresses me greatly for its courtesy. During my last trip, I was taken on a guided tour of the City Halt. Afterwards, I found myself visiting the Council Chambers. Suddenly, some aldermen pointed at mc, while the meeting was in progress. They were discussing the matter of snow tires and studs on city streets. They stopped the meeting abruptly, and after someone has introduced mc to the City Council, they gave mc a warm welcome before continuing with their business. They were very courteous. On a previous occasion, when I was invited to address assemblies at the High Schools and Colic- giatcs, the same courtesy and warm hospitality could not be easily forgotten.

People at the famous roaring water giant are undoubtedly most courteous; but the true stories told by them are even more memorable, than their gracious conduct. The late Dr. H.A. Ironside once invited me to speak to a large congregation in Chicago. One of his favorite stories concerns the famous French acrobat, Chas. Blondin, and his astounding feat at Niagara Falls in 1859. The daredevil performer had a three-inch rope tied across Niagara Falls. He had previously crossed over on a bicycle, using a 40-foot pole to balance himself. Now, he offered to carry someone across the chasm piggyback style. Thousands were on hand to watch him, believing that he could do so. However, only one man accepted his offer. They got across safely; but it was never repeated because this human being was trembling too much! Many believed that the daring aerobaj could do it; but only one person actually accepted the invitation to be a participant in such an astounding feat. Now, Dr. Ironside said that this reminded him of another tremendous accomplishment, attracting the attention of millions of people everywhere. Millions of people are today singing the praises of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who came down to this planet, to bridge the chasm between God and man. Millions are willing to concede that the Lord Jesus Christ is really God in human form. Many believe that He died to save us from our sins; and that we arc completely sinful in God's sight. Many arc willing to admit that He is raised bodily and spiritually from the dead. Some will even say that He is coming again; perhaps very soon. However, just as there were thousands who believed in the Niagara Falls acrobat; and there was only one man who accepted his proposal; so there could be millions who said they believed in Prince and Princess dancing in "The Nutcracker Suite" F.V.

Mayor lauds fired director MATSOUl — in a council meeting here Monday, Mayor Harry DeJong praised former recreation director Mike Coutinho. Coutinho, along with Keith Parkinson, the district arena manager were fired by council's recreation commission three weeks ago. In accepting the minutes of the special recreation commission meeting where the firing decision was made, DeJong told council that he still felt Coutinho was a capable man. "I feel he has done a good job while in that position," said DeJong. DeJong made no mention of Parkinson. Ditch-diggers lambasted LANGLEY - Aid. Bill Blair said Monday that he "likes the guy", but he would not let that fact interfere with his municipal office. G.E. Anderlini. of 242 - 240 Street, had requested deepening of the roadside ditch in front of his farm to relieve a flooding problem. A split council decision voted down the request. Aldermen Dan Kitsul, Jim Lee and Blair were against, with Elford Nundal, Art Brooks and Mayor George Driediger'voting in favor. Councilors were told that five head of cattle had already drowned in a slough created by the fact that the water had nowhere to run. But Blair added that "the price of one could have paid for the fence." Blair also told fellow councilors that municipal works crews were digging ditches all over the municipality that "have no water in them at all or arc on the wrong side of the road." Blair said that was a result of having the crews leap-frog from one job to another instead of going systematically ahead from one planned job to another. Nundal said this must be the result of someone in the engineering department "not capable of thinking on his own." Municipal engineer Doug Kenyon replied that all jobs were laid out in advance by the general foreman, who, unfortunately did tun always have time to follow up the jobs.

But with that said — (and 1 enjoyed the innovation) — the balanced excellence and power of their singing remains the real forte of the Maysfield Singers. The necessity to locate such an outstanding performance in a school gymnasium, with its inevitable toll of accoustics, audience seating, and accommodation for performers, points up the very real need for the theatre which the Langley Arts Council and its affiliated groups have been working so hard for over the past five years. 1 hasten to add that this is not to be interpreted as any criticism of the Langley school 'hoard, which has unfailingly and graciously shared its facilities whenever the need — (almost continuously!) — has arisen. Wc note that the Maysfield Singers arc giving another performance in the spring, with the proceeds going to the building fund uf the new theatre. We hope the results in ticket sates, and donations, will,reflect in generous measure the depreciation of the two Langleys for not only this choral group, outstanding in Western Canada, but for the wealth of talent richly evident here.

To assure their guests of a carefree evening, the hotel management has reduced the room rates substantially to encourage party-goers in the Matsqui Room to have fun seeking the New Year in, and not to drink and drive. Possibly if more of the hotels who are sponsoring New Years festivities would follow the precedent being set at the Park, it might alleviate some of the tragedy and concern, and certainly enhance the evening for the celebrants. pleasing crowd, welcomed from the surrounding area, enjoyed dancing to the "Good Old Time Dance Music" of Bob Patterson and the "Rhythm Rascals". The dance was well conducted by the very capable Emm Cee. Slim Burrcll of Aldergrove, who along with the orchestra received a well deserved round of applause. A little gift, as a token of appreciation, given by Larry and Lil Beeston was presented to each of the ladies who helped in any way in the preparing dnd serving of the lovely lunches — a thank you for their generosity and co-operation.

Perhaps we are now ready to consider some of the larger forms of music. We can begin with concertos. There is a fascinating 'clement of drama in the interplay between one or more solo instruments and the orchestra. For many people the concerto has been the gateway to a permanent liking for serious music. In choosing records for purchase in this category, we can ease ourselves into shallower water at first, so to speak, by becoming acquainted with some key movements from popular concertos. These are available on several single records. I could suggest a Capitol record (P-8646) of favorite movements from piano concertos, with Mol- sciwitch as soloist. He plays the 2nd movement from Saint-Saens* Second, the 3rd movement from Tschaikowsky's First, the opening movement of the Second by Rachmaninoff, the 2nd movement from Mendelssohn's First, and the final movement from Grieg's only concerto. On another Capitol record (SP-8689) called The Best of Pennario No. 2, along with Rozza's Spellbound Concerto and RECORDINGS By J.E.MILLER a Porgy and Bess Medley by Gershwin, you can hear the 1st movement .from the same Grieg concerto, and the final movement from Rachmininoff s Second. There are single movements from violin concertos to be heard on the Festival of Hits series, each record of which features the music of great composers like Brahms. Beethoven, Mozart and Tschaikowsky. These excerpts from complete performances are bound to stimulate your search for entire concertos. In the early years of the I8th century, Vivaldi established the three-movement form of the concerto. He is officially credited with morc than 500 concertos, featuring various string or wood wind instruments in the solo parts. There is a fine 4-rccord collection (RL-9623) of some of his most beautiful concertos. ' J.S. Bach adapted the concerto form to his own masterly purposes. His six Brandenburg concertos can be heard on a 2-record set (BA-420O2) conducted by Mun- chingcr. It was Mozart who perfected the classical concerto for a variety of solo instruments. Of his five violin concertos, the Fourth is heard on LM-2652 with Helfctz as soloist. All four of his horn concertos are available on a single record (Angel-35092) with Dennis Brain playing the french horn. Benny Goodman is the soloist of the clarinet concerto on LM-2073. Mozart's most splindid achieve- ments in flexibility of construction within fixed form are to be found in his numerous piano concertos. especially those from #11 to #27. For a start, let me recommend »20 and #25 with Gleseklng as soloist, both recorded on Angel- 35215. Beethoven has been called "the man who freed music". In his concertos, he pioneered the idea of unity between the movements and also gave them a more symphonic character. Each of the last three of his five piano concertos shows a fresh departure from the strict form of the classical concerto. His Fifth is justly called "emperor". His only violin concerto is the first of the truly great ones. You can hear these two concertos in a splendid 10-record collection assembled by Deutsche Grammophone. Included in this collection are seventeen of the World's Most Famous Concertos by fifteen great composers from Bach to Ravel. MURRAYVILLE — Council here voted Monday afternoon to establish an award to be handed out annually to an outstanding local amateur photographer in memory of Pete (Pellc) Swensson. "Pete would be happy with that (decision)." said Aid. Bill Blair. Councillors also considered forming a Swensson foundation which would not only provide the necessary funds for the photographic award but for a scholarship for exceptional track and field students as well. Pete Swensson. a late resident of Aldergrove and a man of many talents, put much of his energy into these two specific endeavors. "A foundation would be a good thing," said Aid. Elford Nundal, adding that funds could easily be solicited from businesses in the sports and camera supply fields. "That's where wc as a council fall down, we do not pursue the money sources." he said. Aid. Jim Lee asked what the minimum size of a foundation for this purpose might be, and Aid. Art Brooks expressed concern lhat foundation monies might become "lost in general revenue." "No, it will have to be kept separate (from municipal fund.)" said Blair. Municipal clerk Derek Double- day expressed the opinion that $100,000 "would produce some value." and Aid. Dan Kitsul said that a foundation set up for this purpose could be allowed to grow to any conceivable size from private donations. A Pete Swensson shutterbug trophy was approved and council would discuss the possible establishment of a foundation in the new year.

CREDIT UNION 3528 248 St., Alderjro.vt 856-2558 2941 272 St., Aldergrove 856-7724 ■MMMWMHMMMMMi Langley shines in road checks LANGLEY — RCMP report that between December 16 and 20 there were 1,600 vehicles pulled over for yuletide roadside checks in this district. Police were astounded to have found only two impaired drivers in the bunch. "It's not that we're not doing it," Corporal Kent Hansen said Tuesday. He explained that the roadblocks have been moved around the municipality and city of Langley and set-up at crucial points. Hansen said he was very happy to see the results of the checks come in every night, but is unsure as to what may be causing the drastic decline in impaired charges. He suggested that perhaps people arc reacting to publicity of the roadchecks. They could be taking the attitude that, "if you're going to get drunk, get a cab because the cops are out there," Hansen said. He also noted that people may be gaining more awareness of the -increased insurance rates charged to drinking drivers, or perhaps some are just fed up with seeing "this carnage on the roads". A road check established in Aldergrove saw the RCMP put in a tolal of eight man hours in the lownsite and turned up no impaired charges. In Fort Langley on the 18th, two roadside suspensions were given out, but no impaired drivers were found. On the 17th, RCMP working in connection with the breathalyzer van from Surrey detachment, sealed off the entire Langley city area. One thousand vehicles were checked by the fifteen officers involved. Two roadside suspensions were handed out, and two impaired drivers were booked at the detachment. In addition to the impaired charges and roadside suspensions, police also gave out 14 tickets for mechanical defects (serious problems with vehicles), and 44 check-up slips for smaller problems. Hansen said Langley is the only area he knows of .where impaired charges have decreased at this rate. He said Surrey RCMP are booking about twenty drivers every night. Matsqui police,' meanwhile, report that things arc not the same in their area, but were too busy to release figures when contacted Tuesday. A spokesman for Matsqui municipal police said Christmas check totals will be included in the department's annual report on policing in the Matsqui district. THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1976 19 Trailer park is no go MURRAYVILLE — A man who "could not support 60 head of cattle" on his 80 acres and therefore wanted to turn a family farm into a trailer court, had his hopes thwarted in council here Monday morning. Bill Praxl, of 1458 • 248 Street, Aldergrove, said he'd tried just about everything in his attempt to "make ends meet." In 1970 Praxl first applied to council for permission to rezone the land. He was turned down. The same year he applied for a poultry quota, and did manage to land a temporary permit which was later "taken away." He had tried dairy farming and beef ranching. Neither with success. And now he had learned that other mobile home courts in the district had been allowed to expand, and came back to council for reconsideration of his first proposal. DUMP CLOSED ALDERGROVE — The Jackman Road garbage dump will be closed for the holiday season on the following dates: Wed., Dec. 22. Sat., Dec. 25. Sun.. Dec. 26, Wed., Dec. 29, and Sat.. Jan. 1, 1977. Praxl's trailer court would have about 250 pads, he said. Municipal planner Ken Major, however, said that 150 would be more likely if the project was allowed to go ahead. 150 was the maximum allowable number, Major said, since this size provided for a "cohesive community." Councilors, with the exception of Aid. Jim Lee, voted against the application. The reason, according to Aid. Bill Blair, being that approval "would be an open door for a myriad of applications" and that it would be "a long way from (established townsite) community, and we would be very premature in okaying." The face In the night belongs to a member of the Langley RCMP detachment. The officer Is smiling because he just gave another driver a clean bill of health. The police have been stopping cars all over Ihe district but, happily, have found only two Impared drivers to date. Langley drivers arc pulling drivers to Ihe east and miss this opportunity to hope *the magic of Christmas touches kyou all. Thanks to our neighbors.

"The major traffic volume is at the south end." he explained, detailing that the first part of the six year program would see the highway expanded to three lanes near Bellingham. The traffic thins out closer to the border according to Bogard, therefore the portion of roadway from the border to the Lynden area would be improved in the latter part of the six-year plan. Improvements to this portion of road would consist of a resurfacing program and shoulder widening. After his presentation, Bogard threw the floor open to questions from the audience. A lot of people were concerned about speed limits, expressing through their questions to Bogard that the limits should be given more uniformity. SKIERS NEEDED FOR MANNING PARK BUS LANGLEY — 20 children and 20 adults arc needed immediately to ensure a ski bus to Manning park for six Sundays, beginning January 9. If you are interested, register now at the Langley recreation office, municipal hall, 4914 - 221 Street. Langley. Registration deadline is December 20. For further information, call the langley recreation commission at 534-3211. cxt. 24. One association member called for larger signs partly because the road "does not belong to us alone, it is a two nation highway." He said speed limits are different in Canada and it might help if Canadians could sec the signs and adjust speed accordingly. "That's not a bad idea," quipped another in the crowd, adding that perhaps his colleague would like road signs in French as well. "You said it is a two nation highway," remarked another woman later on, then turning her attention to Bogard she stated: "If you counted the cars coming through that border you would find out it is only one country." She suggested that the state should put a .50 cent tax on every Canadian vehicle going through the Aldergrove border station into the U.S.A. "Anything to discourage the Canadian traffic we'd all be sorry for," retorted another man who said he runs a business on the Guide Meridian. Members of the organization were united in their common cause to push for improvement of the highway, and wheels are being set in motion to have the association registered, giving it lobbying clout at the state ligisla- lure. Last week's meeting did indicate, however, that a rift in the group's membership could develop over the issue of how to deal with bargain hunting Canadians. Springfield charging on with 119 lots in 'Grove SUBDIVISION NOT FAVORED One of the joys of S Christmas is the opportunity to say thank you for your trust and confidence. MacFARLANE INSURANCE AGENCIES LTD. 20443 Douglas Crescent, Langley PHONE 530-9777 LANGLEY — The Springfield Development Corporation wilt go ahead with a sixteen-acre development on the Aldergrove town- site, and Langley council profits by over one million dollars as a result. The sub-division will be located in the area of 29 Avenue and 276 Street, and will be the first development in Langley district to be built on the "zero lot line concept". The 119 homes planned for the housing location will be of four and three bedroom size and prices will start in the lower forty thousands. If construction proceeds without hitches the first home should go on sale in April '77. Full landscaping is among the features to be included in the development, and wide boulevards will also be provided. All the lots will be fully serviced. A 1.8 acre park with a playground will be located somewhere on the sub-division. All homes qualify for the Assisted Home Ownership Plan (AHOP), and the lots will be thirty by one hundred feet in size. Because Springfield's construction program qualifies for federal and provincial grant money, the municipality Tuesday was the recipient of over one million dollars through various government grants and developer's fees. From Springfield the district got 5918,200.00 to cover lot servicing, landscaping, legal fees and impost. From the higher governments, through the Municipal Incentive Grant Program. Dcvclopcmcnt officer Stan Van Meer accepts a cheque for $918,000.00 from Springfield Development president Nick Holze- the council received a further $225,000.00 which adds up to SI,500 per housing unit. "Zero lot line" development is a form of sub-dividing in which houses can be built right up against property lines. Each house in this development will have yard space on only one side. I his form of home construction is designed to allow higher density development without resorting (o townhouse design. ma. Howard Davis (far right), president of Delmarco Management, a Springfield sister company, and Urry Cruickshank, mu- Howard Davis of Delmarco Management, a corporate affiliate of Springfield said this type of development is "the da^'ng" of the Greater Vancouver Regional Board because it allows a higher density of development in one of the world's leading growth areas — the lower mainland. He said the valley will feel the brunt of the development squeeze in years to come and indicated nlclpal treasurer (centre right] also take a hand in the presentation. that introducing "zero lot line development" is a step ahead for Langley. Before handing his cheque over to municipal staff. Nick Holzema, president of Springfield, said his homes would be priced within present market requirements and AHOP financing will help. "We're confident we're going to capture the market." he staled. ALDERGROVE — Councilmen would not give the owners of a holiday ranch here permission to subdivide, but they did approve of a motion to back Robert and Alan Webb if they should decide to send an appeal to the provincial assessment authorities. The Webbs, of Webb's Holiday Acres Children's Ranch on Coghlan Road, had sought permission — for tax reasons — to divide their 35 acre holding into one five and one thirty acre lots. CLEANUP JOB APPROVED MURRAYVILLE — The floors and desks will be cleaned and Ihe waste baskets emptied daily, seven days a week at the RCMP station here. After a bit of discussion Monday afternoon, town fathers decided to spend another $200 monthly of taxpayers money to provide for the janitorial service. In the past the janitors have only looked after the upkeep of the building in a five-day week. Some of the councilmen did not think the move necessary. "If some drunk comes in and pukes on the floor," said Aid. Elford Nundal. "let him stay in it." Officers could also empty their own waste baskets, he said. And Mayor George Driediger mentioned that "not every office gets cleaned every bloody day." However, when councilors were reminded that police officers track in and out of the building all day long, and often with muddy boots, they grudgingly conceded to the extra expenditure. Because of the children's recreational ranch, the entire property is assessed as commercial, and the tax is a very heavy burden, the Webbs say. If a subdivision was approved, they would hope to get farm exemption from the 30-acre parcel, thereby lowering the taxes considerably. Councilors were of the opinion that the Webbs should be entitled to the exemption without. this measure. A request from William Werner, of 27245 - 48 Avenue, for permission to split his 17 acres inlo three lots, was also turned down by council. "Why doesn't he sell the entire place?" asked Aid. Bill Blair. Werner had cited age and health as factors, and that the sale of two five-acre lots would supplement his retirement income. * David Baxter, of 24212 - 58 Avenue, had morc luck. He had asked permission to divide his two acres into two one-acre lots, and councilors granted his request. Participation to be encouraged MURRAYVILLE - The Langley Oddfellows want to contribute to some local project, councilors learned Monday afternoon. Aid. Bill Blair said such a desire is not too common, and he moved that council "encourage" the Oddfellows. Councilors would steer the service club toward the Fort Langley Marina, as a project worthy of their attention and effort. ORDER NOW Fruit Coke b$225 WHITE OR BROWN BREAD $099 10 16 oz.
