mw^m^^ Victoria ~ Jim 77 Local solar heating experiment underway ALDERGROVE - A home healed by solar radiation will be built in this community, funded by the National.Research Council as part of the federal government's expanded energy research and development program. The home will be one of 14 such experimental houses across the country. Others will be at Brentwood Bay, B.C.; Calgary, where two projects have been funded; White City, Sask.: Winnipeg; Thunder Bay; Hudson and Ayers Cliff. Que.; Montreal; Fredericton; Saint John, N.B.; Chariottctown; and Halifax. The projects are part of a program which has previously funded demonstration houses in Toronto, Mississauga and Ganonoque in Ontario, and The Ark at Spry Point, P.E.I. "The 14 demonstration projects arc a major step in proving the technological and economic viability of various solar heating systems under very different climatic conditions across Canada." said Alastair Gillespie, federal minister of energy, mines and resources. "Research and development, particularly in new or renewable energy systems, will play a major role in meeting Canada's long- term energy needs. The government is preparing for the future use of solar heating by funding such demonstration projects now." Contracts for the 14 homes total $229,000 and performance of the houses will be monitored by the National Research Council on an annual basis with the results being made public. The Aldergrove project will be built by Delmarco Management Ltd. of Langley, who have been awarded a contract of $19,830 for the new housing and water system. WILLARD IRELAND PAYS TRIBUTE James Douglas had different ideas about government Willard Ireland. .^lyst so proud*. By RUDY LANGMANN LANGLEY — Tribute to British Columbia's first governor. Sir James Douglas, was paid by retired provincial archivist Willard Ireland in an after-dinner speech at the annual Douglas Day banquet here Friday night. "As a librarian, I'm just so proud of that man, Jimmy Douglas." Ireland, a former educator who retired from his job in Victoria in 1974, said. Ireland compared the literary efforts of Douglas to those of Dickens and Sir Bulwcr-Lytton. He spoke of the "parcimonious .... no. thrifty" Douglas, who came to Canada from his native Scotland at the age of 16 and rose through the ranks of the Hud- suns Bay Company to become chief factor and manager at Fort Langley and eventually governor of ihc crown colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia. But. most important, said Ireland, behind the historical figure was a man. a human being. "Completely devoid of legal counsel" Douglas rose to the challenge of forming the first legislative assembly in British Columbia. He had only vague pre-conccivcd idcad of what the royal order meant. Ireland said. "Completely devoid of legal counsel...He didn't know how lucky he was." Douglas, who is believed to have had negro blood flowing through his veins, "set the tone and the pace for anti-racism in B.C." when he fought the negro- segregationists in I860." "I'll have nae of that," the dour Scot ordered. Douglas also had his own ideas of government. "A government must remain poor, only then can ii remain honest." was his credo. "One hundred and eighteen years after the establishment of the colony (of British Columbia). Sir James, we salute you," Ireland concluded. The Aldergrove jStar AH the news that fits, we print *\J .

Taylor scores better in Matsqui elections By GARY CHAMBERS Former Matsqui mayor Doug Taylor scored a close political triumph over the three trailers. including incumbent Bob Brady. in Saturday's municipal elections. An outspoken critic of government at all levels. Taylor has earned a reputation among municipal affairs buffs in Ihis area as being one of the district's morc flamboyant politicians. Even his critics at municipal hall seem to agree that "things will liven up when Doug gets back". "When its dead you can't get any deader." Taylor says of this concensus. Taylor won election as an Free calling not supported MATSOUl — A letter requesting district council's endorsation of a free Vancouver calling zone in the "85b" telephone exchange, did not meet with council's approval Monday. Aldermen and Mayor Harry DeJong suggested the increased monthly rental would not make the move worthwhile. The cost would be about double the present rale for monthly telephone rental. Following a recent survey conducted by Ihc Aldergrove and district chamber of commerce and petitions from about 1,000 Aldergrove residents favoring such a move, a planned B.C. Tel plebiscite among the 5,000 telephone subscribers will be held to settle the issue. "If that's passed on to the users they can respond when the plebiscite comes around," said Aid. Chuck Wlcbc. alderman on the council but missed on his challenge to Chris Lamb for the regional board directorship. He told The Star his victory in this year's election was due to a better showing in polls west of Seven Oaks shopping centre than he had been able to muster in his previous campaigns. "I was really surprised that 1 got in with the majority 1 did," was Ihe reaction of one of Taylor's fellow aldcrmcn-clcct. Henry Friesen. a gravel truck operator, who fell victory at the polls for the firsi lime after three tries, feels his election was mainly due to the fact lhat he appreciates the unity that has been displayed on council in" the previous year. He slates lhat one of his main objectives on council will be to sec lhal this unity is maintained in council's dealings and debates. The third aldcrman-clcct, James McDonald, like Taylor is not a newcomer to the council. McDonald has returned to public office after a one year absence. He w-as an alderman in the Matsqui area from 1967 to 1975. McDonald attributed his election lo the electorate's wishes for "a good sound government" and told The Star that he will hope to use his experience as an alderman to keep things running on an even keel. He is reluctant to make promises even now the election Is over, saying that the best laid plans can often be upset when one gets into council chambers. He said he simply hopes to do a good job. On the regional board one post was open and it was filled by Chris Lamb, who already holds a scat on council. She is a bookkeeper by trade and a strong 'Taylor' page S "NO DECENT ZONING IN LANGLEY" Murphy wants business regulated Highways minister hands 'goodie' to Langley FORT LANQLEY - Trying his hind at barrel-making at the historic fori hare, Premier Bill Bennett quipped: "Isn't this Ihe way Ed Sweeney started?

Bennett was spokeshavlng a stave for a barrel In the fort's woodworking shop and also tried his hand at blacksmlth- Ing, being shown how to by supervisory guide Percy E- vans. Sweeney, who was defeated In the recent Vancouver race lor mayor, belongs to a pioneer family that started a cooperage mill on False Creek at the turn ol the century. Settlers had time for work BROOKSWOOD — "Our pioneers never had time to think about the breaking up of Canada." " Premier Bill Bennett told the audience at Friday night's Douglas Day banquet here. "They were too busy building our province." "Let there be no talk of division in our country or in our province," he added as a gentle rebuke to flamboyant human resources minister Bill VanderZalm. The premier cast a fleeting glance to his right, toward the outspoken cabinet minister. Bennett was paying tribute to Langley's pioneers who were, as usual, seated at the centre of the table of honor. Bennett added that he had considered making VanderZalm the province's "good-will ambassador" to Quebec. All of Bennett's eighteen cabinet ministers along with their escorts were present at the banquet. Also present were a number of lower mainland officials. Abbotsford mayor Gcorgc Ferguson, Matsqui mayor Harry DeJong, White Rock mayor McDonald. Maple Ridge mayor Jackson, and Surrey mayor Ed McKitka. Former Langley mayors introduced included John Condcrs, Len Nicholas, Noel Booth, Alex Hope and Gcorgc Preston.

Bv GARY CHAMBERS MATSQUI - Alderman Spud Murpliy, who spearheaded a successful effort some year ago to have business licences abolished ill the municipality, now wants them returned. He has also called for ihe hiring of three extra policemen to enforce the council's by-laws. • Pi was Ihe guy that turfed them •nit. and I was wrong in doing ' km Murphy told his council 7 . At present. Matsqui is the only municipality in B.C. where a licence is not required to do business. But this does not mean council is devoted to their reintro- duction. Aldermen Chuck Wiebe and Clare Baldwin both had second thoughts on the question. Wiebe and Baldwin both feel that the cost of enforcement would exceed the revenue obtained from the licences. Wiebe went further to question the social value of the documents. He expressed doubts that any real value could be placed on a business licence, and said Alder- woman Chris Lamb's suggestion that business registration was used in other areas to provide demographic surveys to the business community was "(he last thing we should be using it for." Wiebe pointed out that Langley municipality has a zoning by-law, hut added that businesses still open (heir doors in a semi-regulated fashion. "They don't have a decent zoning by-law...never have had!" quipped Murphy in reply. Development officer Alex Sommerville noted council's inability to keep track of parking and sidewalk requirements and suggested a licence schedule could help keep council informed. It was decided to send the matter to senior staff officers for study and report. "We're putting our priorities at the wrong end of the stick." Baldwon concluded, adding that he didn't care if council had a business licence by-law or not, but felt it should learn to enforce existing by-laws before introducing new ones.

I shall do my utmost to fulfill my obligations and commitments to Langley municipality Stan Fraser LANGLEY — Three fatal accidents and a number of injury and property damage crashes caused Ihc local RCMP detachment to apply to the provincial department of highways for a lowering of the speed limit on Fraser Highway. Local police wanted the speed limit reduced from 50 MPH lo 40 MPH all Ihe way from Langley city to Aldergrove. Department, however, felt that onlv the stretch of the highway between the 21000 and Ihe 22600 block required lowering of Ihe speed limit at the present time and it was so done. The remainder of the highway in Langley district will have speed limit cut down next year. Municipal councilors were not in favor of the change and wrote E' division of Ihe RCMP accordingly. They were especially concerned that trucks would "not he able" to make Ihc Murrayville hill without making a run al it. "As for trucks having to make a run al the Murrayville hill." Inspector Ted Wilson wrote back, "there are two castbound lanes at Ihis point, and if a truck does slow down while climbing the hill, it can safely use the slow lane." Wilson said most traffic now is conforming to the new speed limit, with only 30 traffic violation reports issued last month. He said traffic is flowing as smoothly now at 40 MPH as it used to at 50 MHP, and that it only takes 18 seconds more to travel the same two miles of highway at the reduced speed. "As you arc undoubtedly a- warc," Wilson said, "the end result of an accident occurring at 50 MPH is much more devastating than one occurring at a lower rate of speed." Wilson said most of the accidents referred to in his report to the department were rear-enders involving trucks licensed for and carrying 104,000 pounds. Truck and trailer units weighing 52 tons each cannot possibly stop as fast as a car, Wilson said. Two of the accidents involving cars and heavy transport trucks occurred in highway school crossings.

FORT LANGLEY - Looking sternly al human resources minister Bill VanderZalm, Premier Bill Bennet spoke briefly to his cabinet ministers about Canadian unity and "the reason we want to remain In Canada." The 18 cabinet ministers, Including VanderZalm, joined In a raucous laugh and thumped the rough pine table in glee. Bennett was constantly chastising VanderZalm — in a gentle way — for the tatter's celebrated remarks about Quebec independence and it's anticipated effect upon B.C's budgetry affairs. VanderZalm took it In stride, realizing that it was done, before the doors to the cabinet meeting In the 'Big House' were closed, strictly lor the benefit of the press. VanderZalm later told The Star that "the press is giving me a rough time...but it's alright, I realize you guys have to make a living too."

Barbara Wcllicomc told council Monday that a biopsy is being conducted to confirm her belief lhat the chemical was responsible for the death of her dog. In the meantime, while council awaits the pathologist's report, Mrs. Wellicome has requested council stop using the chemical. "It can't be pinpointed right down, it's a gamble," she told :ouncit. _, . ■ t ., . ,-■ A report from the public works ( epartment requested by council, has given the chemical a clear ticket. It points out that reports of 2-4-5-T being dangerous are inconclusive, and also noted the increased cost involved in mechanical brush control. "I don't think we should continue it until we get the chemical make up of this 2-4-5-T," Aid. Chris Lamb stated. Lamb later said it was her opinion the report told the "spraying contractor's side of the story." She said the public works department did the best job it could without a lab and scientists at its disposal, but she still felt the matter needs more investigation before spraying continues. After sending the matter back to public works for further consideration, council discussed other means of brush control. It was'ifE6t</d .tKKyif the public was willing to jpntrol its own brush, council coffra simply use a mechanical brush cutter to chop away four feet of brush from the roadside. Further action on the matter is expected after the biopsy of the Wellicome pet. c recipients from La Belle Province who could be stopped at the border when they would have to carry passports. Bennett later made it clear that VanderZalm's opinions were not always shared by himself and the provincial cabinet. Business to be closed MATSQUI — Council has decided to start steps toward closing the Twin Motel on Marshall Road in Matsqui. The firm action by the mayor and aldermen caps off a long battle with the motel owners. A land-use contract, agreed upon by the municipality, provides that a trurcation be left on the motel lot to allow freeway traffic free access. The motel owners have refused lo sign the contract according to council, and the matter is dragging into years of debate and haggling. "Something lias lo be done, we've got to take action," said Aid. Ray Kirkwood. Aid. Spud Murphy had a motion passed to instruct the municipality's lawyers to start steps to close the motel. The only alderman w ho was not sure he agreed with Ihe action was Chuck Wiebe. Wiebe has indicated thai he will get a copy of a memorandum from the provincial highways department to see if a truncation is reallv needed. Ads 'better' than brain surgery Can FBDB help you?

But education, advertising and political propaganda arc much more effective and morc easily abused ways of changing behavior, according to brain control experts visiting Vancouver for a conference on the ethical questions posed by their discoveries. Opening new doors to small business. DR HARRY CROW • • • "clumsy techniques" Dr. Harry Crow, director of the Burden Neurological Hospital in Hngland, and Dr. Jose Dclgado, chairman of the department of physiological sciences at the Universidad Autonoma in Madrid, agreed in an interview that the delicate surgical and electrical stimulation method developed in the last few years arc "very clumsy techniques" compared to conventional indoctrination techniques. Dr. Crow, who uses psychosurgery to treat excessively fearful or compulsive people, cited a personal experience. "In 1945. the Germans and wc behaved that way. Looking back, I hardly believe I behaved like that." Dr. Dclgado, who has exert- memed with controlling agrcssivc and other types of behavior in animals and humans, said indoctrination is powerful because it conveys a specific message while brain control techniques operate in a more general way. For example, increasing the DODGE 1-2 TON VAN S112.00 Monthly [ 36 Month Unso LANGLEY CHRYSLER LTD Ph 534 535S U. t. No. IUHUS aggresivencss of an army could easily backfire because ihe manipulation, i, would also increase aggressiveness toward the army's own officers, he said. Dr. Crow said scientists also behave more responsibly than politicians and advertisers. "I do what people ask me to do. to help them. I don'l do what an army general tells me to do. *'i think I behave more moderately than many advertisers do, 1 will not speak of politicians because thai i^ too obvious. They do things io further their own ends...(hut's the crux of the thing." We are molded more than we realize b\ indoctrination, said Dr. Dclgado! "It's a terrible thing, we cannot escape from the indoctrination of the most crucial early years...Vou don't have the machanism in your brain to accepi or reject. Nevertheless, both men. speakers at a symposium on The Brain Behavior Revolution al Simon Fraser University this week, said new scientific developments have great implications. "We can now introduce human control and intelligence into ihe evolution of nature," Dr. Dclgado said. "If we know jusi a little more, perhaps we will have the capability to liberate ourselves from the slavery most human beings suffer, the slavery of genetics, of early imprinting, of mass media indoctrination, of automatic behavior." "Everybody is concerned and quite bloody rightly...ihe way to sort it out is to talk about it publicly." Dr. Crow said. II the public decides there should be restrictions on brain control technology, he will abide by that, he said, even if he remains convinced people are being deprived of a valuable treatment, Dr. Dclgado was not quite so willing to bow to public opinion. "I think you give too much concern to the concerns of the many," he said, adding (hat America would not have been discovered flat if someone had not swum against the current of the times. "Let the bird sing its new song but don't impose that tunc on everybody," Dr. Grow replied. Antibiotics, answered Dr. Dclgado. were "imposed" on a population generally ignorant of their potential. He added, in answer to a question, that he has no religious misgivings. "lt'sa not that wc have a ^diabolical pride and are going to change God's design of the universe.

The invisible cloud was created hy a four-melagon nuclear bomb tested by China last week. The cloud made landfall on the Pacific Coast at 4 a.m. and had completely passed over the Lower Mainland by 9 a.m. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says there is little cause for concern unless the radio activity encounters a rain etfmd. The cloud's trajectory across the country extends across southern portions of Western and central Canadian provinces and may include the Maritimcs.

Chung, national leader of the B.P.O. Elks of Canada, made his visit to Aldergrove lodge #66 on November 20. Chung, who is from Vancouver and operates his own real estate business there, was elected leader of the Elks order at their national convention held in Edmonton in July of this year. He is presently visiting many of the Elks lodges across Canada. During these visits he has been putting forth his ideas that although the order continues to grow, some of the present members are being lost through lack of knowledge and understanding of the order. The leader also informed the members of the activities of their national assistance fund, the Purple Cross fund, and of the activities of its special project, the deaf detection and development program. He asked the lodge to keep up their contributions so that the charitable programs of the order can be continued and expanded. In the past two years, Aldergrove lodge has contributed over 54.000 to the national fund and local charities. On November 20, Aldergrove Lodge had a supper and social on the occasion of a re-union of all its past exalted rulers, lt was a well attended evening, with 20 past exalted rulers and their wives. Some of them held office as far back as 1929. Also present with the grand exalted ruler was Alderman Art Brooks and his wife. Brooks addressed the gathering in his very capable manner. Those language purists who spend their lives looking under the bed for dangling participles obviously aren't aware of the fact that language is a living, changing thing. They probably wouldn't recognize Shakespeare in the original. They are seemingly unaware of the many "foreign" words we have adopted as our own — including a la mode, amour, and aperaiif. Few people know, for instance, that the word sandwich came from a habit of John Montegue, 3rd Earl of of Sandwich. An avid gambler of the early eighteenth century, Montegue would not take out time for meals and would ask a servant to bring him his meat between two slices of bread. We constantly use words and expression having no idea of their origin or meaning. .We use words that were originally trade names — as in Frigidaire, cola, Hoover and Xerox! While everyone knows the word Khaki, few know that it was introduced into the English language from India of 1841 when British soldiers marked up their white uniforms with khak, an Indian mud, before going into battle. Those denim pants so popular among young people did not originate in England or North America as cither a fabric or a garment — but took the name from the city of de Nimes in Southern France where the fabric was originally manufactured. Similarly tweed is neither Scottish nor look its name from the River Tweed, It stemmed from an error on the part of an English store clerk who inadvertantly ordered some fabric using word tweed instead of twill. Broadcloth originally meant any cloth of width. When Henry Vlll found it necessary to specify the clothes be made from this width, the word became known for quality and eventually one particular cloth. Bootlegging originated with east coast sailors who got their contraband through customs without paying tax by hiding it in their boots. A sailor was first charged with "bootlegging" in New York in 1906, Potato was originally pomme de terre (apple of the earth) so named by a French chef. Goodbye is a contraction of the old English salutation: "God be with ye." Too many irons in the fire? Originally it was the housewife who put too many flat irons on the stove and subsequently scorched the family linen! Dead as a doornail? Back in 1350. door knockers consisted of a nail and a piccc of metal. When the nail eventually wore down from use, it brought forth the expression "dead as a doornail" which could no longer be heard. Neighbours who wanted to please their new neighbours once literally took them a bowl of home-made soft soap. The word "square" once meant something commendable — a a square deal, a square meal or a square shooter. Today it is an expression of derision. All of which prove that our living language changed with common usage. Family Home — One Acre Three bedroom bsmt. home, 4-yrs.-old with an interesting subdivision potential.

The statistics make strange reading — 26 acres an hour disappear, 7,000 acres of Niagara Peninsula farmland zoned for construction and on the other side of the ledger thousands die dally of starvation In the Third and Fourth World. Confronted with these contradictory statements, politicians argue that It is simplistic to compare world food shortages with the loss of prime land in Southern Canada. For, the reasoning goes, even with the steady encroachment of farmland there Is more than enough acreage left to feed Ontario and still export food products. Somewhere, like so many of the arguments in our technological age, people miss the point. Food and Its distribution are among the most crucial questions facing planet Earth as its ability to feed itself declines dally. As cities grow around the world there Is greater need for food producers everywhere to be encouraged to stay on the land and help meet this world-wide crisis. Yet here In Canada, truly one of the breadbaskets of the world — even If we use only the 13 percent of our land mass considered to be potential agricultural land (only two percent Is prime agricultural land) more and more farmers leave the land every year, less and less of their farms are viable, the acreage Is paved over the built up and agriculture seen as a second-class business. We believe that provincial and federal governments must get their priorities straight and encourage by whatever means available people to keep their land in production, to foster farming as a proud means of earning a livelihood and to return more land to agriculture, rather than diminishing It daily. We do have a responsibility to people outside this country who are starving and It is right to question how best we use our existing farm land. —by Mark Rose. j_*4a, ...flashback to Rene THK F.LECTION OF THE PARTI QUEBECOIS lasl week came as a surprise to many and to others as a shock, including even seasoned Quebec watchers a- inong politicians and political analysts. Tlie fact is that Quebec has undergone a vase social transformation over the past generation, ll lias gone unnoticed that La Belle Provence now has Ihe lowest birth rate in Canada. This change demonstrates the declining influence of the once-powerful Catholic Church in such intensely personal matters as birth control and abortion. Concurrently wilh Ihc decline of church power, has been the rise of educational opportunities for young French Canadian men and women. Paradoxically though, it's these same young people who. while refusing to have large families in the feudal manner of their parents and grandparents, arc the very ones most worried about the erosion of their language and culture and the eventual assimilation of their race. Bul it is indeed perfectly understandable that this young, well-educated population subgroup should form Ihe enthusiastic backbone of support behind Rene Levesque. ll is because they recognize that being a Francophone is akin to being an endangered species attempting to swim in a sea of 250 million Anglophones on this continent. To the young French, speaking Canadians, bilingualism merely accelerates assimilation and hence they perceive the establishment of a separate sovereign Quebec as the only real defense against ultimate absorption. Lasl week while media commentators were falling all over themselves attempting to discover who Rene Levesque really was and what Rene really wanted, I recalled a column I wrote six years ago after an informal interview wilh Quebec's new Premier during a plane trip from Ottawa lo Winnipeg. Here is the exchange that took place between us. first published locally (From Parliament Hill) in January. 1970. Rose: "Whal effect will the so-called "Language Act" guaranteeing linguistic rights in the federal service, courts, etc., have on French Canadians' desire lo remain within confederation?" r- Trudeau sacrifices popularity to fight inflation Levesque! "The Language Act is a belated token gesture and probably has little effect on whether or not Quebec decides to separate. The fact that Quebec business and industry is almost completely in the hands of the English is a much more important irritant to French-Canadians. Rose: "It is said that if Quebec separates, the Atlantic provinces would be isolated and might, in lime, be forced to join the U.S. New England States, their natural trading partners." Lcvcsquci "If Quebec scpa- rates it will be for the benefit of Quebec — what happens to the Atlantic Provinces is your problem but Alaska and Hawaii arc geographically isolated, docs that make those places less American? Rose: "I've often used the argument that Canada should cherish its French citizens as a defense against complete U.S. cultural domination of Canada." Levesque: "Nonsense, if all that prevents U.S. cultural domination of you English is wc French, then I think you have very little reason to have a country at all and you should be very worried about yourselves." Rose: "Well, Mr. Levesque, being a staunch federalist I hope thai when you come to B.C. you'll look around at the mountains and say to yourself — this is my country — because that's what I say to myself whenever 1 go to Quebec. If you persist in your efforts to chop a great big chunk out of my country. I'll have to fight you some day." Lcvcsquci "Perhaps you will and I don't blame you. bul I've got a lot more fights right in Quebec before I get you." • •* SO MUCH FOR MY FIRST BRUSH with this intelligent, choin-smoking. passionate man. There is little evidence to indicate that Rene Levesque has softened any of his altitudes over the years. In fact he may have hardened some. He was "right on" in prcdic* ting a great many fights in Quebec before he took on the federal government, but wc arc on the eve of that fight today. The Quebecois victory is a devastating blow to Trudeau's boast that he "speaks" for Quebec, as-it is the ultimate repudiation of the Diefenbaker myth of "One Nation." ll seems highly unlikely that Quebec can ever be again considered and treated as a province like all the rest. By JOSEPH KRAFT OTTAWA — Recently the first anniversary of an exceptional effort by perhaps the world's most gifted leader to put the lid on inflation. One year ago. here in Canada. Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau initiated a long- term program to wean this country away from the underlying inflationary bias that has beset so many industrialized nations. The results, so far. suggest modest progress. ' "We've brought down inflationary expectations." Mr. Trudeau said in an interview with mc. But lie also acknowledged that he had paid a "pretty heavy price" in personal popularity and national unity. The setting for the policy initiated by Trudeau was a particularly noxious and stubborn inflation. Price increases were running at 11.6 percent annually. Canada had not suffered the disciplinary shock of the oil shortage and price rise of 1973 for Canadians believed — wrongly, it has turned out — they were rich in oil and gas reserves. Moreover. these price increases were being chiefly forced by high wage demands from the type of unions most difficult to manage — the unions of public service employees. In 1975 government workers in Canada won average wage increases of over 22 percent, and their demands were immediately spread to other sectors of the economy. As preparations for the I97d wage bargaining began lasl fall, unions were asking for increases of as much as 100 percent. In these conditions, Trudeau felt impelled to gel al the underlying causes of inflation. He avoided the usual, easy gesture of a 90-day freeze. Although he had won re-election in 1974 by campaigning against controls, he put inlo effect a three-year program built around an Anti- Inflation Board, empowered to review and roll back price and wage rises. In explaining the three-year program. Trudeau expresses the deep seriousness of his effort. He told mc: "Wc wanted people to realize they couldn't look past the control period and figure out how to catch up when the 90 days were over. Wc wanted them to realize there hud to be some change in behavior and in institutions. Wc wanted them to see that the expectations of continually increasing wealth no longer applied." *•* The mosl Immediate con$* n quencc of the policy has been a* decline in the rate of price increases from 11.6 to 6.5 percent annually. Companies t acknowledge that the sheer complexity of dealing with the Anit-lnflalion Board has deterred some price rises. Wage settlements have declined from a 15 percent annual increase to a 9 percent rise this year. Since the decline in inflation has outpaced the decline in wages, workers arc actually better off. They don't have to keep chasing their tails anymore in the classic inflationary cycle. "Nobody even remembers whal they were asking last year." Trudeau says in what is perhaps his proudest boast. But the controls have generated strong opposition from labor, which recently called a partially successful general strike, on business. The prime minister lias lost standing because of his flip-flop on controls. In the Gallup Poll, his Liberal parly which enjoyed a 12-point lead over the opposition Tories last February now trails by 11 points. The general weakening of the government has put into question Trudeau's most impressive a- chicvcmcnt — the apparent settlement of the struggle between French-speaking Quebec and the English-speaking rest of the country by moking both Ian* guages official throughout Canada. In western Canada, especially now. there is criticism of Trudeau's bias toward Quebec. *** In these conditions, controls can not go on forever. But before lifting them. Trudeau is determined to internalize the restraints lhal are now imposed by government. "The problem of industrial society today." he says, "is to accept some kind of restraint. some kind of discipline. We're trying to get Canadians to ask how will discipline and restraint ho maintained when controls are gone?" The lesson for all other countries, including the United States, is unmistakable. It is that weaning industrial societies away from constantly rising expectations is an extremely difficult task, re quiring, as Trudeau puts il, "the highest degree of understanding, skill and commitment," No one can look al the Canadian experience and be optimistic about the rest of the world where presidents and prime ministers are so much less intelligent and so much less willing to sacrifice popularity to principle than Trudeau. * __ — El Paso Journal Scuttlebutt In a characteristic attempt by government to help the average citizen of the province better "understand the organization the Socreds recently changed the name of all government departments to "ministries". There will now be 17 of these ministries and the various responsibilities of the ministers will be described as "programs". The steps taken, said the government, to help bring the B.C. structure into line with practices existing elsewhere in Canada. Besides the ministry change, some departments (oops, I mean ministries) have been changed thusly: the department of consumer services becomes the ministry of consumer and corporate affairs; recreation and travel Industry become ministry of recreation and conservation; provincial secretary becomes the ministry of provincial secretary and travel industry; transport and communications becomes ministry of energy, transport and communications. Now then - Isn't that all so much clearer? Isn't it nice to see government so sincerely concerned with the drive for standardized confusion in this country? — Cariboo Observer Just what we need - another bureaucracy The Canadian Labour Congress has called for the establishment of a 'tripartite' social and economic planning council, to develop and administer economic policy. Labor proposes that policy would be set through a labor market board which would control manpower programs and the location and timing of investment. That's |ust what we need — another bureaucratic arm to make our decisions. Government on alt levels already decides what we do with nearly 50 percent of our earnings. And then spends It faster than we can pump It in. We are paying for whole multitudes of economic planners, statisticians who predice national trends, economic consultants, advisors, marketing boards, transportation policy analysts and hordes of other. And with every new regulation the natural laws of the free market are being strained, twisted and distorted. Now, big labor wants a hand in the decislon-makinfl: more rule from Ihe top, more bureaucrats, whatever their label, making for us decisions which should be determined by Ihe laws of supply and demand, cause and effect. Whatever happened to the free enterprise spirit in Canada? It was smothered by government regulations, and now labor wants to add its weight to the mass. What we need is less interference in Ihe economy, less regulation, and more freedom to go broke or make a lortune. We don't need another boss. — Williams Lake Tribune Letters to the Editor Let's end cruel trapping methods Will not be a party to mudslinging contest Editor. The Star. Dear Sir, The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals (A.P.F.A.) notes with regret, that Grace McCarthy is no longer the minister of recreation and conservation. However, we hope the new minister, Sam Bawlf will speed the banning of the leg-hold and other cruel trapping methods. The Social Credit party stated in 1975, "It is our commitment that cruel methods of trapping be banned within three years and indeed sooner if humane traps arc developed before then." On June 30, 1976. McCarthy stated in the legislature, "I will assure this house that my concern, my persona) commitment to the house and to the electorate, is lhat we will find a solution to this problem within the next 24 months." Our association hopes that the new minister will not only honor McCarthy's personal commitment, bul hopefully will bring a final end to cruel trapping methods even sooner than the promised two years. Many thousands of our B.C. fur-bearing animals arc on this day waiting in cruel traps for their suffering to end. Quick action is urgent. We hope that the public will wrile the new minister and urge greater speed and decisive action. The animals can't speak for themselves but you and I can. Your support of our association's efforts to ban cruel trapping methods is most appreciated. Sincerely. (Mrs.) Bunty Clements, President, A.P.F.A. Editor, The Star. Dear Sir.

After returning from the All Candidates Meeting al the Aldergrove Legion lasl week. 1 just couldn't help but write Ihis letter to let your readers know whal Ihey missed. It's not that the candidates did or said anything out of the ordinary, in fact they made all of their presentations quite successfully. It was the mayor's performance lhat really astounded me. as it was my first chance lo sec him in action. First of all I really wonder how- he became mayor. The man is a childish, arrogant buffoon lo say the least. He certainly used all his faculties to disrupt and spoil the meeting as well as evade all the issues being raised. Constantly he spoke out of order, interrupted speakers and insulted the audience and chosen candidates. I'm sure everyone who was there will agree with me and 1 only wish that more people could have seen our mayor perform. Oh yes; and his language has certainly changed since the days when he used to drive the neighborhood kids to Sunday School, but that's probably due to the failing educational system he kept speaking of. It's such a pity that he is nut the one running for office this term. Yours truly.

The results on election day, then, should have been no surprise. Yet there was some confusion that evening at Election Central. "The polling places have been closed for 34 minutes here in the east now, Roger. What are the totals?" "It's still nothing to nothing down the line. Walter." "That's odd. We certainly should have heard from West Aldergrove by now. It's always Ihc first in the municipality to report. Let's go lo Dan Rather in West Aldergrove. Dan, what's going on up there?" ' "It's hard to say, Walter. The record shows that the first person to enter the booth at 8 a.m. was Jeremiah Finkelstein." "Well, how did he vote?" "We don't know, Walter. He hasn't come out yet." "Could you stick your head in, Dan, and ask him to hurry? The whole lower mainland's waiting for a result." "Sure thing, Walter. Excuse, Mr. Finkelstein, but what seems to be the trouble? You've been in there close to 13 hours now." "I know. 1 just can't seem to make up my mind. I decided early in the campaign to vote LVA. But then IDEAL had some idealistic ideas of electing BCTA members to the school board. 1 said anybody with that much gall deserved to be elected, and then some.

Dr. Deane Downey, a professor at Trinity College in Langley was one of the two elected school trustees in Matsqui. Downey said he is sympathetic of school board critics who say that educators should not hold board positions, but be adds that he is a teacher at a level not covered by the board and he also leaches outside the district in which he has been elected. "1 don't see myself as a school teacher's lackey." he remarks, adding again that the people will have to wait to sec this proven. Downey's fellow trustee-elect. John Wiens, feels his re-election lo a second term on the board will help him to deal with issues of policy.

If they only hadn't goofed early in the campaign." "The CBL-LVA goofed? How's that?" "By announcing the betrothal officially. I was even considering voting for some independent 'dark-horse' candidates as the two giants, the smoothies and the revolutionaries locked horns. But then LTA and NDP decided to bolster the sagging forces of IDEAL. Now, who needs a bunch of pinkoes?" "Then you are going to vote LVA?" "I don't know. It's really a choice of two, or three, or four evils. Eenie, meenie..." "Thank you. Mr. Finkelstein, and good luck to you. Back to you. Walter." "Thank you, Dan. Just one last question. Wc can see about a hundred people in line waiting to vote. Aren't they growing angry?" "Oh no. Walter, they havn't made up their minds yet either."

Proposed Field Trip Several board members had questions on the proposed field trip to Ottawa involving Mrs. P. Milburn and her grade 4 class at Fort Langley elementary school. They questioned, was the proposed fare enough to cover expenses and they worried about possible illness on the trip. Another concern was: will there be enough chaperones and will they be able to manage the group of children on such a long trip. Parks and Recreation Plan The report on the Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plans was dismissed and it was decided to table the report tiU next meeting. District Staffing Several opportunities for increase in administrative staff were made in the reorganization of the school district. There is a need for a purchasing agent and an auxiliary person who would, among other duties, undertake the function of public relations. The board decided to table the hiring of an auxiliary person until the new board convenes as it was felt that more than this was needed. , The duties of the purchaser involve the volume purchases of books, supplies, school buses, capital furnishings, five to six thousand flourescent bulbs per year, semi-truck loads of toilet tissue and considerable volume of paint. At this time it is apparent that several abnormal situations such as A.I.B.. fires, to name two, have brought additional work load and tension on staff. To help alleviate this urgent problem it is apparent that steps be taken immediately to engage a purchasing agent. School supplies for the new school year must be procurrcd, fire losses must be replaced, and a new school must be equipped. Now room is available to accomodate additional staff. It was recommended that without delay steps be taken to employ a purchasing agent. The motion was carried to approve in principle the hiring of such an employee. No further action was taken until the en- . larged board has an opportunity to consider the reorganization proposals. The need for a computer terminal at the Langley school board at a cost of ($1,700 per month was discussed. The board members thought possibly for next year, even though it is needed now. It would help in purchasing as the district spends SI •million to SI '/j-million per year. Workshops and Leaves Maternity leaves have been approved for Mrs. G. Nakamura from January I, 1977 to December 31, 1977 and for Mrs. C. L. Baily from January I, 1977 to June 30, 1977. * Cross boundary permits Cross boundary permits have been approved for nine students wishing to attend another school. Block Parent group MURRAYVILLE — A Parent- Teacher meeting was held on October 4, at 7:45 p.m. About 50 people'attendcd. They expressed their desire to continue as an informal group with no president or secretary. A group volunteered to act as a 'facilitating' committee to assist with organizing activities, and with communications. The program included a talk and discussion directed by Constable Scott and representatives of the Block Parent Group, an outline and demonstration of the music program by Lorna Mac- Phee and Nancy Galey, and an outline of the Language arts and arithmetic programs going on in the school.

This is for the grade six students of Otter Elementary school. Swim program under woy SOUTH CARVOLTH — The swimming program is under way.

Some parents assisted and a grand time was had by all. The Tillicum school pupils paid a morning visit to Uplands school on October 21. Buddies from Uplands were teamed up with the Tillicum pupils and they toured the school. Refreshments were served by the buddies and the visit gave the buddies and Tillicum children a chance to get to know each other, so that they would already be friends for the skating program (hat the two schools take toge- Ihfir. Exchange student shows sides of Australia BELMONT — Students here enjoyed Coralie Hogarth's slides and talk on Australia. Coralie is a young exchange student from Australia and she also showed her color slides and spoke to Uplands school in shifts on October 8. Her message was well received by the children of both schools. "Snow Goose" was performed by Kaleidoscope Theatre for Belmont school. Some time ago when a noted medical missionary was killed by guerillas in Africa, his father in the United States told reporters that he was sustained in his sorrow by his belief that his son's death was "the will of God". The reporters accepted this statement as evidence of a "strong religious faith". One need not doubt that faith to affirm that the death of the missionary doctor was no more the will of God than the vast abomination of Hitler's extermination camps was the will of God. The conviction that God can, and does, use and over-rule for good and most dreadful deeds, does not imply that the deeds themselves are the will of God. Blasphemy, that is to say profane speaking about God, has almost lost meaning to the modern mind.

DOUBLEDAY CLERK-ADMINISTRATOR lion that the monstrous iniquities which in our lifetime have deluged the earth with pain and death arc the work not of evil men but of a capricious and inscrutable God. Emerson said of Cod: Nothing can be good in Him which evil is ia mc. When a little child is run over by a drunken driver, or assaulted by a sexually deranged adult, it is religious hypocrisy for parents to murmur about submission to the will of God. The believer ought to look upon whatever is vile not as the will of God but as an affront to that will. The believer should meet his sorrow not in numbed resignation that this is what God wanted, but in renewed commitment to the God and Father of Jesus Christ, whose will — as Christ himself has said — is that not one of these little ones should perish. How should criminals be treated? Public concern about the increase in crime has brought widespread demands for stricter penalties for offenders. Violent crime seems to call for hard-line treatment. Yet experience has proved that punishment is not effective, either in reforming prisoners or reducing the crime rate. In fact, many aspects of our present criminal-justice system actually encourage lawless behavior. The whole truth about the plight of countless offenders has yet to be told. It includes cases of suspects held in custody for months without trial or bail, depressing restrictions in jails, some guards who take it out on the guys, beatings, gang rapes and even murders. Understandably, life in jail has led more than once to riots. And how little is usually known about the background of a convicted person! Mitigating circumstances related to his offence may never come to light. Yet his early environment may have been so sordid that it would have been a miracle if he had emerged from it even partly human. Similarly, who really cares about the tragic effect his imprisonment has on his family? Some, but sadly, only a few employers will give an ex-inmate an even break. What's needed, urgently, is a more practical and compassionate concept of criminal justice and corrections — a system that works positively to discourage crime, yet treats criminals in an enlightened way. As well, every law-abiding citizen should be reminded: "There but for the grace of God..." Fortunately, a nation-wide movement now seeks to accomplish these vital objectives. Led by the Church Council on Justice and Corrections, representing 11 major religious denominations, the movement is rapidly gaining momentum. Active support to the council's efforts has been given by the Law B& nn LTD.

The council has also consulted with judges, inmates, ex-offenders, prison chaplains, social workers, law enforcement authorities and o- thcrs in the correctional field. The direction of all these efforts, however, is not only toward influencing officials in the justice-corrections chain. Equal efforts arc aimed at influencing the public to adopt a more realistic and understanding attitude toward lawbreakers. Hopefully, this in turn will lead many citizens to become involved with organized reform efforts jn their own communities. Groups are now being formed for this purpose on a nation-wide basis. Identified with "Alternatives", the council's study/action program, they offer concerned citizens an opportunity to join in a long-overdue crusade. — United Church OBITUARY Eltza Browning BROWNING — Passed away in Simpson Private Hospital on November 18.

In International affairs he may be tougher than Mr. Ford. Baptists arc known for the strong stands they lake. He mav not believe he was predestined to be President, and we like to think that had he lost, he could have done so gracefully. Bui since he has won. he will believe that God has ordained his leadership. (That is another Scrlptual idea since the "powers that be" arc ordained of God.] He probably will support Israel because the Scripture says that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. He can and will fail too, His lapse into the Playboy world demonstrated that. But again the Book he reads uncompromisingly shows the failures of great men.

Tall tales? Ah yes. bul modern nautical archaeology and historical research have shown that all those wild stories are true! LOST ATLANTIS The legend of Atlantis, an ancicni island with a very advanced civilization thai was wiped out hy a great natural disaster, was tnld to the Greek Solon by Egyptian priests in 590 B.C. ll was recorded more than 20(1 years later hy Plato, his descendant. In that time Ihe name, si/e. location, and date of Atlantis became badly garbled. From the Egyptian point of view, however, the description of Atlantis that survives fits the Minoan empire very well. In those days Crete and the Aegean islands were riyle and well go- . vernal, iheir cilrys were the only ones in die ancient world without walls, because Iheir land was defended by the world's first navv. life was very good for the Minoans until 1470 B.C.. when a great volcano on Ihe island of Thera exploded violently, leaving a huge, waier-fillcd crater where the heart of the kingdom had been.

Only in recent years have seientists been able to confirm this famous legend and properly locate Atlantis at Thera. To understand other legends, we must appreciate the way the ancients thought. Before wc arc too hard on the old Greek storytellers, wc should consider what a civilization of 2.000 years from now will think about such words as "skyscrapers" and "whirlybirds". The first raidcr-tradcr ships were open boats with a single niasi and square sail something like the Viking ships of 2.500 years later. When there was no wind (or a battle was about to ensue), they were rowed by 50 men and so became known as hundred-handed giants. JASON AND THE GOLDEN FLEECE Jason was a Greek adventurer who sailed the Argo north into the Black Sea around 1200 B.C. in search of gold. Somehow he had heard about the placer gold mines in the rivers at the eastern end of the Black Sea. In a placer, small particles of free gold are mixed with the sand and gravel of the river bed. The gold is usually extracted by shoveling the material into a sluice or trough with running water and a rough-textured bottom. In ancient times a sheep's fleece was used. The water carries the sand away, but the much heavier gold sinks into the rough fleece and stays there. When you remove the fleece, you've got the gold! Winged women were a little harder to explain, until archaeologists discovered that the winged ' sphinx originated in the Hittite empire along the south shore of the Black 'Sea. Probably the sailors told of these strange statues when they returned home. What about the wandering rocks of the myth? After Jason got enough of the fleece and skipped with the king in hot pursuit, he could not return the way he h'ad come. So he sailed north and into the dead-end sea of Azov, whichi contained large dirty 9 icebergs from the Don River. The Greeks, who had never before seen large chunks of ice. were understandably terrified that their light boat would be smashed between these wander- smashed between "these wandering rocks". In fact, their boat was so light they were able to drag it overland, across the base of the Crimean peninsula and continue on home. HERCULES AND THE HYDRA In 1965 1 became involved in a United Nations project to examine fresh water springs beneath the sea off Labanon lhat might be tapped to get water for the nearby coastal dwellers. Although ample rain falls on the high interior hills, il sinks inlo the ground and flows down through layers of limestone until il emerges under the sea. When Alexander the Great's ships were besieging Tyre, the sailors could bail up drinking water from the "boils'* of these springs. These springs reminded mc of Hercules and the Hydra. According lo legend, when one head of ihey Hydra was cut off. two FLOWERS 534-3633 Langley FlowtrShopJ others would appear. Hercules killed each of the eight small heads with fire and then placed a great rock over the central head to finally conquer the monster. The Hydra, perhaps, was a group of nine springs on shore that constantly washed away a coastal road. When the men the king sunt to fix it threw stones in a mouth, the water would spurt out on each side (two heads for one). But clever Hercules used fire to slake lime and make cement, with which he systematically plugged each opening until all the spring flowed out one central "head". Then he used one huge slab of styne to bridge that flow and make the king's road usable! ANCIENT LINKS TO AMERICA Like the ancient Greeks, we have our own legends. For example. Columbus was not the first European to cross the Atlantic nor the first to think the 'world was round. However, he deserves credit for opening a new continent for European expansion. We do not know who the first outsiders were to reach America or when they came, but there is considerable evidence that the Atlantic was often crossed in ancient times. For example, thousands of small clay heads have been found in Central America, so carefully sculptured there is no doubt they represent specific people. Of those dated before the Christian era, many arc decidedly Semitic (Phoenician?), Oriental (Japa- The Steering Column BYKENHUBER Handy option for your car: a headlamp warning buzzer.

Membership is now pushing 350 and coupled with well-attended meetings, this makes the local Legion the largest active service organisation in the district. The early part of the meeting was occupied with an awards ceremony. Five members of the ladies auxiliary had been awarded Anniversary Service Medals. These were. Lena Carr. Helen Drew, Mary Wall, Nellie Nachbar, and Verna Azyan. Gayle Azyan received the medal awarded lo her late mother, and the other four ladies received theirs personally. A branch certificate of merit was awarded to Ron Schmaus. Syd Murrell pinned on these medals and explained that they were for dedicated work over an extended period of time. The Poppy campaign was a success this year. Thanks are due to all helpers including Girl Guides. A donation of $100 was made to the Salvation Army to assist the provision of Christmas fare for needy people. It was decided to sponsor a soccer team for 12-year-olds, to the tunc of $200 this year. A pleasant piece of news regarding hall rentals was that the Ringettes who had the use on November 12 had left everything perfectly clean, — an event very unusual in hall rentals. Comrade Uprichard reported that the Sunday Flea Market is picking up. He grfve the date of the membership dinner as December 17, — Friday; supper to commence at 7 p.m. As usual members will pay $2.00 for a ticket. This sum will be refunded at the door. Members should buy Iheir tickets before December 10. The New Year's Eve parly will cost $7.50 per ticket. Two hundred and fifty tickets have been printed and they will be on sale to Legion members only, until December 16. No member may buy morc than two tickets. Discussion on the proposed L.l.P. grant showed that members felt that any benefits likely from government funding would be outweighed by disadvantages inherent in the conditions imposed. Walter Hopkins pointed out that the branch would be responsible for the actions of employees whom the branch could not select themselves. If an employee were to drop paint on a carpet, for instance, the branch could be liable to pay out a large sum in compensation. As regards transporting elderly people in members* cars, the question of insurance had to be taken into account. Other members were not slow to point out that the Legion has its own funds for charitable purposes, anyway, lt is a matter- of concern to Legion members only whether these funds are spent wisely or not. Therefore the 'membership voted not to accept the L.l.P. grant but to help any O.A.P.'s with repairs, painting, etc., as part of ongoing charitable efforts of the branch. Aldergrove English students above provincial average ALDERGROVE — Graduates of the 1975 class at Aldergrove senior secondary school were above average in their English examinations, a report from the University of British Columbia indicates. Principal Norm Sherritt has received a letter from U.B.C. showing that 12 students from the local high school achieved above- average standings in first year university English 100 in the 1975-76 academic year. The Aldergrove students averaged 3.125 based on a grade point average of A=4, B=3, C=2.5, C=2. and P=l. The corresponding provincial average was 2.871. One local student passed with 80 percent or better, three with 65-79 percent, six with 50-64 percent. One failed and one did not write the exam. The unsuccessful percentage was thus 16.6 as compared to the provincial average of 22.8. while the percentage passing with first class marks was 8.3 as compared to B.C. average of 6.8. Recipients of Anniversary right: Lena Carr, Mary Wall, Service Medals are from left to Helen Drew, Nellie Nachbar and M on behalf of Verna Azyan, Gayle Azyan. Gf Bryan photo Block parent program grows to 550 participants WEATHER REPORT Local students graduate from U.B.C. By NORM GREEN 1976 Temperatures Since its inception in late summer of this year, the Langley Block Parent/Neighborhood Watch Programme has grown to over 550 active participants. The basic intent of the program is to make Langley a safer place in which to live by promoting public participation. By residents displaying a Canada Safety Council, red and white coloured. Block Parent sign in their window, when available, and 1 stress the word available as opposed to displaying the sign whenever a • person is home, children, and for that matter, anyone, can go to that house and be assured of rcponsible assistance in an emer- * gency, for example, an unknown person attempting to lure a child into his or her car. By exhibiting a greater awareness of neighborhood activity, a resident can assist the police by reporting any suspicious activity in an area. It is far better lo have the same incident reported to police three times, rather than it not coming to our attention at all. Applications for the Block Parent/Neighborhood Watch programme are available al Ihe Langley R.C.M.P. ollice and wc encourage all responsible adults, not necessarily parents, to take an active role in their community. Remember, the Police arc the Public and the Public arc the Police. Date High Nov. 14 12.9 15 9.9 16 1(,9' 17 12.4' 18 6.7 19 10.2 20 11.8 21 7.1 Low ■2.0 1.3 -0.7 0.0 -3.0 4.8 Precip.

CARD„ MURRAYVILLE — Municipal staff here will be instructed to pursue any grants or 'free money' from senior governments. Recreation director Darch O- borne had reported lo council that the highest priorities in the parks program concerned Parkside in Aldergrove, Fort Langley, Williams Park and Milner, and Aid. Bill Blair said that LIP grants might be available. "There is 'free money' there if we want it," he said. Aid. Elfo/d Nundal $skcd if the program depended "on senior grants. "No, but wc might do more if weget grants," said Blair. "Everyone else gets these grants." agreed Nundal. "But we don't get in and ask for them." Councilors decided to ask O* borne to go after every conceivable senior grant obtainable. BUDGET GOES TO COMMITTEE MURRAYVILLE — The recreation commission's provisional budget for the yeax. 1977 was referred by council to the special budget committee Monday mor* ning. 2 THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1976 'Save the wholes' movement growing "I always get mad about the slaughtering of whales and seals and all animals. But I couldn't do anything about it. Now I can help the whales by collecting money for Greenpeace. "Love, Charlene." There is nothing unusual about an 1 f-year-old girl having pictures on the walls of her bedroom. There is something a little unusual about the pictures 11- year-old Charlene Raymond of North Burnaby lias on her walls. Instead of Robert Redford or the Rolling Stones, Charlene has pictures of animals — whales, seals, birds, wolves — endangered animals, animals that Char- lene's children and grandchildren might never sec unless someone, or a lot of someones, do something to save them from extinction. Those someones, in Charlene's opinion, include herself. Charlene is a member of the Greenpeace Foundation. The above quote was from a letter she sent Greenpeace to say that she and a group of friends were going from door to door through their neighborhood collecting money for the whales and seals. Right now. Charlene is busy after school selling tickets for the Greenpeace Lottery to be drawn at the Christmas Show in the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, December 22. To date, she has sold five books of eleven tickets each. Charlene is one of thousands of students throughout British Columbia who are out selling Greenpeace Lottery tickets. While the details may differ, her motivation says something about these thousands of special people who will someday inherit and pass on this earth man shares with all of nature. She was born in Lahaina. Hawaii, a former whaling centre and "the home of the humpback whale". Her school nickname, "Shark", comes from a report she wrote on sharks for a school project and her one-quarter Hawaiian heritage. Her Hawaiian family name was "Shark", which in Hawaiian culture had none of the ugly connotations given this creature in modern films. When she becomes older — anyone wiih her attitude towards life has already 'grown up', she hopes to become a zoologist. Her librarv. paid for by herself, contains over 60 hardback books and a 22 volume wildlife encyclopedia. She is now in the process of purchasing the 20 volume set of Jacques Cousteau's Underwater World. Each day, dozens of pieces of paper cross the desks of the Grcepeace office. Some arc newspaper clippings about seal quotas exceeded or the slaughter of whales or killing purpoises. But many of them begin with. "1 am an old age pensioner who is concerned about the seals..." or "The employees of our store took a collection to help you help the whales..." or "I like whales. Try and save the whales please, or tame them..." or "The inmates and staff of Oakalla Women's Correctional Centre have pooled our meager resources and have come up with..." Or a letter from a schoolgirl from North Burnaby who goes out after school from door to door selling Greenpeace lottery tickets and who wrote. "I am 11 years old and I have a great concern in the preservation of wildlife on land and sea..." and signed, "Charlene". There are many good reasons for buying a Greenpeace Lottery ticket. For every ten tickets sold, the eleventh goes to the school's student council. You could win an all-expense paid trip for two to beautiful Lahaina. Hawaii, for two weeks. But for the really important reasons, saving whales and seals and attitudes towards life and nature, you ask any of the thousands of Charlenes who will be all over B.C. spending their free time working for something ' they believe in. Mistreated machinery? MURRAYVILLE-Aid. Bill Blair said Monday morning he thought the municipality should close down the public works shop, "There is something wrong within that wire fence (works yard)," he said. Blair said council should introduce a new policy to have all machinery traded in on a yearly basis, instead of having repairs done in the works shop. The shop just couldn't keep up, he said. Aid. Jock Lindsay suggested that it could be there was something wrong with the operators rather than the machinery, since it appeared that it was in and out of the shop almost constantly. He said this did not happen in private business. "You'd have to go a long way to Find a private operator with a machine like this," Brooks answered. They were talking about a bulldozer which would have to undergo repairs at an estimated cost of $3,500 or a full overhaul at $10,000. Municipal engineer Doug Kenyon had advised that the machine be traded in for a smaller one which could be used on a variety of jobs. The new machine would cost $30,000. Aid. Dan Kitsul has on several occasions advised fellow councilors to get out of the public works business altogether and instead hire private operators and machinery. Antiques for everyone Brass and Copper By CHRIS POTTER It's over the top for payroll Savings Bonds DESIGN TODAY Just what is original art ? By ELIZABETH HAWKINS You've fallen in love with something that looks like it was run over by a Sherman tank. Fine. If you like it — buy it. But before you do. is it an original?/ Why? Though values fluctuate, even a few dollars spent is an investment. Years from now you may want to trade or resell, and you may find the value has increased. Secondly, you have the pleasure of owning a piece done by an artist, not merely a 'photographic reproduction, often confused by amateurs as being the original. The brilliance, texture and spontaneity in an original simply cannot be duplicated in a reproduction. They have their place and their use, but be aware then of what you arc buying. There arc two types of original arl. The first is done directly by the artist, such as an oil painting and can be watcrcolor, pastel, pen and ink. pencil or tempra. The second type are the "graphics" which produce multiple originals, and include etchings, engravings, woodcuts, lithographs, etc. Here the artist creates the image upon a surface such as stone, metal plates or blocks of wood. These tn return are used to "print" a limited number of works. Today most graphics arc signed by the artist and numbered. 5/25 for instance indicates that the work is the fifth in an edition of twenty-five. High and low numbers arc generally of equal value. You may also find A/P for artist's proof. These are the preliminary proofs done for the artist who may choose not to keep them. In either case, graphics have been sought after and prized by collectors for centuries. If a limited budget and knowledge arc keeping your walls bare, try local artists, exhibitions, galleries and art schools. You can increase your awareness by books, and museum visits and a Sunday afternoon of gallery hopping can produce hours of enjoyment and relaxation. Travelling in other cities or abroad will undoubtedly increase your collection and your knowledge. Original art is duty free (be sure to get a valid receipt) and much easier to ship home (unearned) or pack than elephant carvings and stuffed hassocks. Above all, there is one rule to remember. Buy what you like — for you have to live with it. And if in fact il was run over by a Sherman tank. I'm glad it's yours and not mine. I much prefer fried eggs and ketchup on my canvas! First of all, is the piece brass or copper? If you're in doubt, give the good old magnet test — if the magnet falls away when unsupported, then the piece is most probably brass or copper. Mag* nets will stick to other metals, even if they're given a coating of copper or brass, and no store- owner will kick up a fuss when you arrive complete with magnet! There's an influx of new pieces available in department .and specialty stores today which come from Europe. It's worth comparing these with the pieces found in antique stores and at auctions. Certainly their newness shows, but the prices usually compare reasonably with the antique counterpart. Which you purchase depends a tot on your reasons for wanting, say, a brass coal hod, or a copper warming pan. If the price difference is large, is age really worth the extra? And how old is old? On things such as fireplace tools, the iron parts offer useful clues. Poker rods, shovel blades and shafts and long arms were usually hand forged prior to 1870, and this shows in a slight uncvencss of line. Some were machine made between 1860 and 1890, although the hand-made products were considered to be of better tasting quality. Examine the interior shafts of andirons — these were hand forged until the late 1800's. Antique brass kettles (pans) were for use over an open fire. They usually featured a rolled rim with riveted brackets on the outside which held a wrought-iron handle, and they were usually beaten from sheet metal. Saucepans, skillets and kettles were often made of copper, and one way to recognize a copper kettle dating prior to 1875 is by the dovetail joints where the bottom was attached to the sides. After that date, folded scams were used. Handles on these kettles varied — some were wrought iron, some a flat strip of copper, others more decorative. Toddy kettles were invariably smaller (used to warm spirits over an open flame), and more decora- live sometimes with handles of glass or ceramic. Mention of brass and copper wouldn't be complete without reference lo brass beds! These are today enjoying a popular revival, and are being manufactured for the second time in less than 100 years. Originally they gained popularity around 1875 in England, and by 1895 in North America. The fashion only lasted until about 1915, however, and until 15 years ago, brass beds could still be purchased for very Utile. Today is a different story, and their costs range between about $300 to several thousand. Brass shell cases from World War I arc sometimes collected for use as flower vases or spillhol- dcrs, and these arc often highly decorated in a relief pattern. The base is usually stamped with the shell size and code number. Copper or brass warming pans and chestnut roasters have been a favourite decorating item for many years, and such good reproductions arc being made that it hardly seems worthwhile spending five or six times as much on one which is antique, purely for the sake of its being old. However, for those who want authenticity, age can be detected by smoke marks inside, or by the worn wood of the handle. Prices of brass and copper items range with age. maker, condition and locality. However, a buyer should expect to find a copper teakettle about eight inches high, for example, for about .65 cents; a copper dipper with a four-inch bowl for about ihe same price; a brass jam pan (say about 14 inches diameter) for around $55. or a brass candle ■snuffer (late 19th century) for around $10. Next week, brass rubbing. No, not polishing your pieces, but records of medieval brass memorial plaques. Readers's queries will be answered provided they are accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope, Address correspondence to Chris Potter, c/o I lie Star. VANCOUVER — This year, more employees than ever before in B.C. and the Yukon bought Canada Savings Bonds, George Sherwood, regional director of the payroll savings plan reported last week. Compared with last year, dollar volume for the 1976-77 series of the CSB was up 22 percent from $35,210,500 to $42,866,850 and participants in the payroll deduction campaign increased 14 percent from 41,604 to 47,412. There were 492 groups offering the payroll purchase plan to employees and of these 341 exceeded last year's dollar volume and 270 establishments reported morc applications. There were 42 new establishments participating in the plan this vear for the first time with totafsales of $1.170.500 and 1,434 new purchasers of bonds out of the 8.278 employees. Average application rose from $846.32 to $904.14.

George Sherwood paid tribute to the concentrated activities of the 10 campaign organizers on loan from their investment companies, and to the hundreds of campaign directors and canvassers in the participating establishments, as well as to the media. "It is a very professional operation," he said, "and all the companies involved should be proud of the excellence of the people working to make the Canada'Savings Bonds payroll campaign the success it is." Other reasons cited for the high degree of acceptance of the Canada Savings Bonds drive were: Better informed employees in regards to money management matters. Added advantage of income tax dcductability of the first $1,000 of investment interest. Flexibility in using past and current Canada Savings Bonds for Registered Retirement Savings Plans and Registered Home Ownership Savings Plans.

Wc had a good brisk market on over 1,000 head of cattle marketed through McClary Stockyards today. There were, of course, quite a few undesirable cattle that the ranchers were cleaning up. The veal market was higher and the cow market was strong. Wc had a good feeder steer market today. Unfortunately most of the feed lots arc filled up and will riot need any more steers and wc like to serve the ranchers and give no false inpressions. We are warning you that wc do not expect a good steer market for at least two weeks. Cows and bulls are selling well here and fat heifers will bring a good price. Veal was strong today. Hereford bull and steer calves around 400 lbs. were selling well to local farmers and light steers were in demand if the quality was good. The winter flowering heathers are now beginning to show some colour and it is very nice to have something in flower during the winter months. These plants are at their best from Christmas to well into May. The flowers are very good for lasting over a long period, due to the cool weather. Another plant that is a good long-bloomer is the Lily of the Valley shrub. The flowers are on branches six to eight inches long, hanging down. Most varieties have white flowers, some have pale pink. The amazing thing about this plant in most varieties is the new growth, which is pink with the odd variety having red, then as the leaves mature they turn green. There is also a variegated leaf form which is very pretty. These plants can stand full shade or be planted in a semi* shaded area. 1 have seen them do well in full sun, but the flowers die off a little sooner in the Spring. It is related to the heather, both liking an acid soil condition. 1 recommend the Rhododendron and Azalea food for them, The heathers, and ' this is recommended for summer flowering varieties also, should have a light clipping as soon as the flowers die, then the plants will stay in a very compact bush.

It is a fact that the risk of dying is higher in the first lew weeks of life than at any other time until the age of 60 or beyond. A baby is called a neonate during the first four weeks of life, and when this period of time has passed the child born with problems has usually had them corrected or at least controlled. If Ils going Once, going Twice, and SOLD! And the Theatre Building Fund is $2,300 richer from the sale of Art ut Keith Beadle's Auction rooms last Wednesday evening. As the crowd gathered, refreshments were served and the young musicians in Dave MacTaggart's baud entertained. An interesting collection of paintings, pottery, batiks, plants and "Geronimo" the papier mache giraffe made by the members of the Totem Guild 'was auctioned off again. This travelling charity collector's prize was auctioned at the Charity Ball for money for the Hospital and Mr. Norman Scvcridc took it home. He donated it to the Art Auction to raise money for the. theatre building fund and now Mr. Mike Power is the .proud owner who struggled with the beast. Where will it appear next in our community? Door prizes were won by Doris Fraser, and Bill Lampson. The male quartet Model T 4's enter- tained the gathering while Mr. Charles Bryenton tallied up. The crowd mingled and thoroughly enjoyed the evening as the auctioneer. Mr. Keith Beadle, who certainly knew his customers called for bids. The Langley Arts Council thanks Mr. Beadle most sincerely for his enthusiasm for the theatre project and a most successful sale. Thanks also to the persons who donated items for sale. The customers all went home happy. Committee members who worked on this money raising effort were Iris Scveride, Jane Power and Gloria Sukor. HAPPY SWINGERS ' DANCE Spotlight on arts Jonathan Welsh (left) and Donnelly Rhodes are the new co-start of CBC-TV's police adventure series Sidestreet, telecast Sundays at 9 p.m. The two veteran Canadian performers provide new dimensions to the CBC series chronicling the adventures of two community service police officers and offers a new slant on crime detection and prevention in a brisk, exciting format. The misadventures of Oscar McFoisy Conservation officer Lawson battles his arch-enemy Oscar McFoisy in this series of articles explaining regulations affecting B.C. outdoorsmen. Prince George Conservation Officer Doug A- ilolph. of ihe Fish ami Wildlife Branch, sheds a humorous light on the sometimes unknown risks taken by those not familiar with tlie law. The Statute Section 18 or the Wildlife Act slates thai: "No person shall cause or allow a dog lo hunt or pursue big game except in accordance with whatever regulations may be made by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council." Charge commonly known as "Hunt big game with dogs". The Incident Oscar was completely discouraged with his luck at bagging a buck deer, especially aflcr five days of tramping through the swamps and valleys in his leaky hip-waders. There had lo be an easier way and if il wasn't for the devil in Oscar's soul and the stains on his hub caps, he never would have come up wilh the idea of purchasing a hunting dog. Oscar reasoned thai a Pekinese would not be a good choice because it would head for home at the firsi sign of a jackrabbit or thunderstorm. A deer and a golden Lab. on the other hand, would only become pals and run off together looking for ducks to retrieve. He considered a Saint Bernard, bul he wanted a really big dog. so he finally decided on a "Bull Mastiff". Buich. as he was named, was bevond any doubt, the biggest and meanest bulldog bulldog In Muskrat Flats. Big enough in fact thai whenever it raised a hind leg. nobody asked questions. That dog had so many tccih in ils mouth and so many chcsl muscles that even Greyhound buses backed away from him. A single growl from Butch's throat caused sirectlamps to shatter and frogs lo hibernate. He was mean, lough, chased, trains, ate rattlesnakes, and raided gardens. Oscar loved him! Having arrived, finally, at the north end of Mule Deer Meadow. Oscar brushed the dust and twigs off his hunting jacket (nobody lead Butch anywhere on a leash), and went about the tast of preparing for the hunt. His idea was to tie Butch to a Iree. set the iilarm clock that was strapped to a release mechanism on his collar and wait at the south end of the meadow for the dog to roust up a few deer after he was automatically released. , . Oscar was almost overwhelmed by Kis crowning brilliance as he waited in the dense bushes for the action to happen. Somehow, the collar mechanism failed to work and Butch got madder and meaner as every minute passed, tied to that tree. A crunch-like sound was heard, similar to that of a metal crusher flattening car bodies. Moments later when Oscar heard what he though were the footsteps of an approaching deer, he leaped from behind the tree and straight into the path of an attacking Bulldog wllh a lower jaw full of alarm clock... The doctors had no difficulty in sewing Oscar's left car back on. bul they weren't loo sure how long seven of his cracked ribs would take to heal, as G.W. Lawson. Ihe local Conservation Officer, inquired about the possibilities of having Oscar appear in court to answer to Ihc charge of hunting big game with a dog! The Adjudication "Some areas of the Province allow the use of dogs for the purpose of hunting big game," his Honor explained to Oscar, "however, they must be held on a leash at all limes." (He realized how difficult lhat could be when he saw the picture of Butch, mopping up the meadow wiih Oscar!) Using unleashed dogs for running big game constitutes harassment of wildlife and is not acceptable as a hunting practice. Other areas of the Province completely prohibit the use of dogs for hunting wildlife, except when hunting and retrieving migratory and upland game birds. So consul! the hunting synopsis when in doubt, and please don't be an Oscar McFoisy, it just isn't worth it! Lei's sec what kind of trouble Oscar stumbles into next time... Bus Tour, December 1.

A short generation ago the neonatal death rate was about two babies in every 100 live births, reduced now by half that number where adequate facilities exist. Progress in understanding and treating tlie problems of Ihe new born has been rapid in recent years, and Ihe earlier philosophy of keeping tlie baby warm and hoping lor the besl is a tiling of Ihe past. (In fairness, doctors did not have much more to offer in those days.) Care ol .the sick newborn may slari before the child arrives. Pregnancies are now assigned risk factors, and a high risk pregnancy patient may be moved to a centre with facilities for neonatal care before the baby is delivered. Babies born prematurely remain the major problem. The greatest progress in management lias been made in the care of potentially normal infants who have arrived too early. Oilier babies' arrive with diseases lhal require specialized management, while the newborn with congenital abnormalities may require prompt and exotic surgery lo survive. Sonic people, including a few doctors, have been critical of the efforts of neonatal intensive care units. They have felt that, while a life might be saved, the child may be left with mental or physical problems thai would make his life meaningless, or perhaps require long term care at the cost of society. There is. however, convincing evidence that future problems are markedly reduced when high quality neonatal care is available.

Edmonton entrances now on exhibit FORT LANGLEY — Edmonton Entrances opens at Ihe Langley Centennial Museum and National Exhibition Centre. Mavis and King Street here oh Monday. November 22. This exhibition comes to Langley from the extension services of the Edmonton Art Gallery and is made possible by the support of the National Museums of Canada. Those color photographs document the painted stucco doorways found on modest residential houses in Edmonton, a folk art that is practised today. Although this is a phenomenon unique to Edmonton, the doorways have universal appeal. The color combinations, which can range in feeling from brilliant zanincss to somber elegance, are always striking and intriguing. This exhibition runs at the Langley National Exhibition Ccn- trc until December 20. Hours are daily 10-5 and Sundays 2-5. The museum is closed Fridays except for special bookings, phone 534-2721.

Everybody says it. "Back to mil lire. Where the air is clean and I can hear the wind in the trees." And ihen comes the afterthought: "llni not ton far from a good supermarket, of course." Unhappily, those conditions ilon'i often coincide. Hut a good approximation of llie dream is ihe mountain town of HiaUne. 75 miles (120 kilo- metres) west of Lillooct, off British Columbia Highway 12. The town is quiet. The air is liatiratit with the scent of wild roses. The steady rush of the mountain breeze sets the aspen leaves fluttering. And — although there's no supermarket — a wide range of supplies is sUH'ked in the spacious general siore. Vi~ ' Hialorne offers a happy blend of convenience and rusTttfrr. You travel thereon a good gravel road and find modest accommodation wiih electric .light, piped water and telephone — yet miles of wilderness await you only a few hundred yards from the door. Five years ago Bralome — one lime siie of one of Canada's richest gold mines — was a ghost town wilh only a few of its 200 homes still occupied. The mines had shut down, the people relocated, the school and shops closed. But ihe hiking and ski trails were there. The streams continued to yield their limit of lighting trout, and every summer ihe high slopes were decked with ihe crimson, gold, blue and white of acres of mountain flowers. Three brothers. Frank. John and .terry Whiting saw the town's possibilities as a vacation and retirement centre. They formed a company, bought the town from i mining compnm and subdivi tied it. Now die town is coming to life iieain. Half the property has ahvadj been sold, much of it lo city'dwellers seeking a hilltop or creekside retreat* Once neglected houses are brighi with fresh paint, curtains blow at many open windows and neat kitchen gardens are producing chard, beans at'd rhubarb. i Manv of the newcomers are weekenders, but a surprising number are hard ai work refurbishing their houses with an eve to permanent occupancy. And ihe town wiih iis store, its updated sewer system, pure waiet supply and brighi red fire engine is ready for them. The former hospital has been leased lor conversion lo u year- round recrealion lodge for skiers, hunters and fishermen, und that accommodation will augment the tourist facilities. "There's an opportunity for people lo Mart'businesses here now." says energetic John Whiting. "We need a good mechanic to run the gas station and we'd like somebody to take over the store. A bakery — just starting small, from somebody's home — would be great!" As people move back in. Bralorue is once again becoming a focus for ihe surrounding area. A community dance to celebrate ihe First of Julv attracted 250 Ask about the forest A fishing enthusiast. Ms. Shirley Evans of Cumberland. B.C.. receives our book prize for the following question: Is anything done to prevent the cutting of trees near streams and rivers? In the years before 1972. there was nothing to prevent the cutting of trees along streams, rivers and lakes. Stands would be cut right down to the water because forest policy allowed the practise. Up to that time, forests had been grown and tended for one purpose only — timber production. Other values and uses were not considered important. But, wc have seen much change and this is not the situation today. Our present government forest policy recognizes that forests must be managed for many other reasons — to maintain fish, wildlife, water quality, soils and other environmental components, also to provide recreation for our public. We call this "Multiple Use" management of forest lands. Returning to your question, during the 196Q's. researchers found that trees along lakes and streams fulfilled a number of significant functions. For instance, their studies showed that trees are important food-producers for fish. Through providing shade, trees also act to regulate water temperatures. In addition, their roots hold the soils and help reduce erosion which can cause plugging of streams by silt during runoff periods. These and other findings Influenced our government's forest cutting policy and were incorporated in the Coast Planning Guidelines for tagging Operations introduced in 1972. Today's Forest Service regulations do not allow indiscriminate cutting of trees along stream, river and lake banks. When logging is to be carried out in a stream or lake area, a number of questions arc asked: Will removal of trees cause environmental damage? Are trees needed for temperature control and to prevent erosion and silting between roads and waterfront? Arc they needed to provide recreation areas? If the desired conditions cannot be met. the B.C. Forest Service will require that slrcamsidc trees be left uncut in what arc called "buffer and leave" strips. On the other hand, if it can be shown that there will not be damage to environmental or recreational va- values, then the harvesting of timber along streams or lakes may be permitted. Of course, no two areas are exactly the same and each situation is judged on its own merit. Only crown lands and private lands within a Tree Farm Licence arc subject to these government regulations. The private owner can do more or less what he pleases with his own land, provided he docs not contravene any statutory acts or regulations. Send your questions about the forest and forestry to Ask About the Forest, c/o Canadian Forestry Association of B.C., #410 • 1200 West Pender Street, Vancouver, B.C. V6E 2S9. A professional forester wilt reply and a book prize will be sent to each person submitting a question that is published.

Itui the folks of Bralorue and me nearby community don't get t.'geiher jusi for fun. Last summer ihev pooled their available equipment, materials and labor to re-build a bridge which had been destroyed when (he mining company pulled out. This bridge, across ihe Hurley River, is the kev io a short route through Pcmherton and Squamish to Vancouver. Though al present the road is only suitable for high- clearance vehicles, hope of improvements lo the 36 miles (58 kilometres) of logging road brought a crew of 15 volunteer workers to join the bridge-building effort. Even an unknown Alheria tourist pitched in to help lay the decking and was cheered on his way — the first to drive across Ihc completed structure, This is the kind of situation many back-to-nature people are looking for: convenience and community concern when they need il. peace and solitude when they don't. The famous lakes of the Bridge River country offer a similar choice. Thirty-five-mile-long (56 kilometre) Carpenter Lake and cotiage bordered Big Gun Lake are easily accessible. For those who are ready to dare the back country, the small fishing lakes above the Bralorne townsite wait — solitary emeralds set among white-crested ramparts of rock. Bralorne is a hot-spot for rock hounds. Gold flakes can still be gleaned in the tumbling white waters of Cadwallader Creek, where placer miners once worked Ihe rich gravel. And it was here in 1969 that Harry Street discovered a giant four-ton (3.6 tonne) boulder of nephrite jade. Listed.in the Guiness Bood of Records, the gem quality boulder was valued at 550.000.' Whatever their interests may be, tho.se who seek a rustic 1 Shangri-la — for a week or for a lifetime — may find it on the tranquil mountain slopes of Bralorue.

Storing "spic and span" tools for the ■ winter in a damp basement will ruin them even faster than if they were encrusted with dirt but stored where it is dry. Here's a little thought for fall.

The high phosphorous content in this product feeds the roots all during winter, so you will have a great stand of grass come 1977. Raspberries are one of my favorite small fruit, he it in jam, jelly or a nice fresh raspberry pie. The key lo a good 1977 crop is pruning. Raspberry canes die after fruiting, and when the harvest is completed, ihey should be cut back. Those old canes thai bore fruit this year should be cut as close to the ground as possible. Put them out for collection. They aren't any good on your compost heap. Don't fertilize at this late date. I like the canes to go inlo winter as hardy as possible so they will protect themselves.

Outlook for the domestic beef industry remains bleak in the immediate future, the Canadian Cattlemen's Association (CCA) says, although the outlook is brighter further down the road. North America is burdened with enough feeder cattle to ensure high marketings for the upcoming six to eight markets. the association says. But after then, the CCA says, supplies should start to drop, accompanied by a gradual increase in prices throughout the continent. Censuses conducted last summer indicate female breeding stock is down six to eight percent while this years calf crop is also down six percent. In the meantime, the association says, prices will depend on the levels of demand for the large quantities of beef available, such as the state of economy and mark-up levels of retailers. Despite the large grain crops harvested in the Prairies and local price cuts on barley, few analysts anticipate any dramatic decline in world feed prices. However, the CCA says, large corn silage crops in the U.S. Mid-West and Ontario might Fruit and vegetable production Canadian farmers grow 60 percent of all fresh vegetables consumed in this country. They also grow a large percentage of the canned fruits and vegetables needed by the Canadian market.

Some light calves in the U.S. are already trading in the .45 cents per pound range, possibly reflecting abundant feed and optimism of feeders for better markets down the road. UGN drive draws to a close New Western Express lottery starts in province Successfully introduced into Manitoba six months ago by the Western Canada Lottery Foundation, the SI Western Express lottery has now been launched in British Columbia and Alberta. The Express tickets were on sale for the first time in the latter two Snow and ice expected CALGARY — The snow may soon be deep on mountain roads and Parks Canada is warning motorists that snow tires or chains arc needed for driving in some national parks. "Vehicles on roads in Glacier, Mount Rcvclstokc or Yoho national parks, or on the Icefields Parkway between Lake Louise and Jasper or on the Banff- Windermere Parkway between Eisenhower Junction and Radium Junction together with all the ski access roads arc affected," said William Turnbull, director of Parks Canada's western region, "The national parks highway traffic regulations state that vehicles travelling those roads must be equipped with snow tires or well-fitting chains during the period when roads are covered with snow or ice." He said Parks Canada does not accept summer radial tires as snow tires but that any well- fiiting chain including the new nylon variety is acceptable. Eaton's hosts senior citizens' shopping evening ABBOTSFORD - On Wednesday, December I from 6 to9 p.m.. Eaton's Sevenoaks. Guildford and Brentwood stores will open their doors to all senior citizens of the lower mainland, to come and do their shopping without the confusion that oficn exists in the stores at this busy time of year on a normal business day. Special assistance will be offered to those requiring it; and senior citizens may bring a companion. There will be free corsages for the ladies and a surprise for the gentlemen. Light refreshments will be served in Eaton's restaurants. Christmas music will be featured and Santa will be on hand to greet everybody. Half hour spot prizes arc planned throughout the evening, and a trip fur two to Reno will be offered as the grand prize! Entry forms and boxes will be clearly , marked throughout the stores. provinces on November 6, for the draw taking place December 1. An important feature of the Express, is that the lottery system has been designed to insure the ■ likelihood of regional winners in each of the three participating provinces. The Express will be drawn on television every second Wednes- or "Winsday" as that day has become known. With only 14 days between draws, there will be no long waiting period for the day of "decision", a feature that is bound to prove attractive with Albertans and British Colum- bians. Initially, the Express will offer a grand prize of $100,000. In addition, there will be two regional prizes of 550,000 and three of $20,000 and $10,000. There will, of course, be thousands of others. They'll range from $25 to $1,000. Any way you look at it, it all adds up to an opportunity to win a small fortune every two weeks for a meagre outlay of only one dollar. Every individual purchasing a ticket in the $1 Express has an equal chance of winning a prize because the number of winning tickets increases with each additional ticket sold. The drawing of the winning ticket numbers will be shown on stations of CTV network at 5:30 p.m. in British Columbia and 6:30 p.m. in Alberta. Proceeds from the Western Express benefit a wide range of community projects in each of the participating provinces. NEW WESTMINSTER— A news release from the United Good Neighbours fund, organizers of the United Way campaign for the lower Fraser Valley, announces that the effort is now underway to dray this year's drive for funds to a close.
