Phone 856-8303 or 856-5212 15c per copy Socred money 'criminal', says mayor Rapid development seen ALDERGROVE - This town is going to develop very rapidly, Mayor George Driediger told a dinner meeting of the local chamber of commerce last Wednesday night. "Andwcwatitit to look good." said Stan VanMeer, deputy municipal planner and one of the three invited guest speakers. "That's the main thing." VanMeer said his department would not want people coming back at the municipality in the future asking "what's that garbage you have allowed in here?" Money collected from developers through impost fees will be returned to the local community. VanMeer assured the audience. "It won't be spent in other areas." VanMeer said "11 or 12" land use contracts were presently being worked out between the municipality and developers. Through the use of such con* tracts, he said, the authorities had much better control over the type of development going in. "There will be no more 'cracker- boxes' that will cause people to thumb their nose at us," he said. But he also promised that his " Jtp.ttmcnl would 'play ball' wllh land developers in allowing them "full density on (till acreage" even if they were made to set some of their land aside for green space or recreational areas. He talked about a future Aldergrove with "a meandering walkway along Fraser Highway" west of town, the development of 32 Avenue as an alternate route to that of Fraser Highway, through the downtown area and foot paths along both sides of the Bcrtrand Creek as it winds its way through the community. Driediger said the municipality is "trying to get away from the hodge-podge and crcat an efficient and beautiful community." Driediger also said there would be "morc than adequate park sites" in Aldcrgrove's future. Third speaker was municipal engineer Wayne Randell. He said the district had embarked upon a five-year program of building up the sewage disposal system in town and outlined some of the dates under this program. In 1977 the sewer lines will be extended into the light industrial area west of Bellingham Highway, he said, and by the end of July or this year the 7,000 feet of main trunk line will be completed. Randell said the total system would "not necessarily" be completed by the end of the five-year ( plan in 1982. The district is also studying water supply and water lines, backlanes, sidewalks and parking facilities, he said. Driediger said 32 Avenue will be widened to 42 feet to provide for the through traffic and that curbs and sidewalks would be installed on both sides for the full length of the bypass route. Growth entails higher costs ALDERGROVE - "Everything mushrooms," said George Driediger when speaking to an audience of business people at the Roundhouse Restaurant here last Wednesday. The district mayor said there is an ever increasing amount of crime in the municipality and that as a result more and more police and expanding court facilities arc needed. This results in an increase in taxation. The sitting of the court at Murrayville has grown from one day a week a couple of years ago to thrcc-and-a-half days a week now, he said, and a year from now another day a week could easily be added to the court's schedule. Ai « result about S'/i-niilllon' mcfre could be needed next year. "But that is the way it goes," Driediger said. "Everything mushrooms." Parade will go from Townshipline to hall Bradner will be celebrating Victoria Day on Monday. May 24 starting off with a parade from Townshipline Road to the Community Hall and grounds on Bradner Road. The parade gets under way at 10:00 a.m. Parade entries are asked to line up corner Townshipline and Bradner Roads for judging at 9 a.m. After the parade ribbons will be given to the winning entries. There will be May Pole dancing by the elementary school pupils and the May Queen will be crowned. This year's May Queen is Helen Waterfield from Mt. Lehman elementary school. Her princesses arc: Turina Engbrcd* son, Bradner elementary; Sandra Friesen, Aberdeen elementary; Teresa VanTuncn, Jubilee elementary and Linda Martin of Dunach elementary. The retiring Queen is Cathy Gowans. The afternoon will be taken up by races, games and a Softball game. There will be hamburgers, candy, ice cream and pop stands open all day. MURRAYVILLE — "it's damn criminal," said the mayor. The aldermen all agreed. And "a strongly worded letter" will go to "Willy Wooden Shoes" (Human Resources Minister Bill VanderZalm) informing him of council's distinct displeasure. "Here Willy Wooden Shoes told us that he would clean up the (provincial human resources) department," said Mayor George Driediger. "And then what does he do? All of a sudden he sends us an increase." VandcrZalm's department has raised the per capita cost for social welfare in the province. And this means that the levy the Social Credit government puts on Langley district for this purpose rises from SI.30 to S1.55 for each Langley resident. And if this isn't bad enough, Victoria deems to do that after the municipality already has set its 1976-77 millrate. Somehow Langley district will have to come up with another two bits for every man, woman and child living in the municipality. This would amount to about $10,000. Driediger said he would deliver council's "strongly worded" protest in person. "Derek (Municipal Clerk Doubleday) and 1 have to go to Victoria anyway," he said. Driediger is a former president of the B.C. Social Credit party. Non-believer's view confirmed by alderman 16 pupils at Swensson School participated In the antl-lltter campaign.

And may God have mercy... MURRAYVILLE - Sentence was passed in council here Monday morning and the execution will take place within 72 hours. Condemned to death was a male Shepherd-Husky cross belonging to the Bernard Hildc- brand family of 25023 • 10 Avenue in southwest Aldergrove. Municipal patrol officer Roy Martin and the Murrayville RCMP detachment had laid the charge against the dog. Martin said the animal was vicious and that it had bitten a neighbor woman on the hand. The Injury needed some stitches and the hand swelled up. he said. Hildebrand denied that the dog was vicious. He said it had been following a female dog in heat and that it had been provoked by cruel treatment meted out by adults in the neighborhood. The dog was the pet of his children, he said. Martin said he was "not as mean as I look'' and that he had prdposed the solution to the Hildcbrands that they keep the animal boarded at the SI'CA or a kennel until such time as they could provide an adequate enclosure to keep the dog at home. He said leashing the dog was not the solution since "a chain is only as strong as Its weakest link." But councilors were not as lenient. Aid. Art Brooks and Mayor George Driediger made motion that the dog be destroyed. It was carried with Aid. Bill Blair the lone dissenter. A dog is allowed one bite, said Brooks. People arc usually allowed more. The animal has been boarded at the SI'CA since a neighbor lured It into his van and drove It there last week. It's a dog's life ... and death.

Ratepayers group fanned ALDERGROVE — Residents in the 212-acre urban zone of the Matsqui portion of this town have banded together in a new group, the West Matsqui Residential Ratepayers Association. Executive officers of the new association are H.F. Carr, chairman; Mrs. E. Moffat, vice chairman and K. Vanpanhuis, secretary-treasurer. The central objective of the association is said to be the establishment of a liaison between the residents of East Aldergrove (or West Matsqui) and the various governments, municipal and provincial, and their departments. Vern Mrosek a -wii iMiinnn I a M' nces candidacy Gun control leads sportsmen into Conservative fold FORT LANGLEY — The president of the British Columbia Federation of Shooting Sports. Vern Mrosek, has announced that he will be seeking the nomination for the Progressive Conservative party in the next federal election. "As the president of a more than 7,000-member strong association (BCFSS) I believe to have a 'few' supporters," Mrosek says. He says the federal government's proposed bill C-83 was what helped him make up his mind. Mrosek. of 15167 -108 Avenue. Surrey, says he has personally urged everyone in the federation to join the Conservative party and urged the most capable of his executive officers to seek nominations for the party in their respective ridings. "We believe this is the most effective way of running against the current blockade of our interest, the interest of every sportsman, and the Liberal party with their bill C-83," he says. Mrosek also indicates that he can steer the membership of several other connected associations on a course toward the Progressive Conservative party. Bill C-83 contains the clauses on control of 'long guns', rifles and shot guns, and the licensing of their owners, which have caused an uproar among hunters and other gun enthusiasts. By RUDY LANGMANN MURRAYVILLE — Can a government really hold the line on overhead expenses? Politicians will tell you that their party, if elected to power, can do it. Political opponents can't, or won't and do not even have any honest intentions of trying. Once established and firmly entrenched behind their oversize, executive, solid mahogany desks, the pettifoggers usually cease on the issuance of this balderdash, and mercifully in most cases you do not hear from them again until they need you once more at the ballot box. In' the great interregnum things continue as they arc wont, being: -more government administration is 'needed' and the taxpayers are due for another shakedown. It is refreshing once in a blue moon to experience a politician actually confirm this jaded view of the cynic. And three cheers this week go to Langley district alderman Bill Blair who had this to say Monday morning: "I've never seen anything holding down overhead in this municipality. It is a continuous increase." Amen, brother. Blair was arguing the case against a change in the district's license bylaw which would have businessmen pay $62 yearly instead of $31 every six months. Fellow councilors and civic staff members said the change would make for added efficiency and subsequently less overhead. They were probably right on the first count. As Blair, no doubt, was right on the second. The alderman felt hotly about the issue. "Arc we developing bylaws for the good of our employees or for , the people of Langley?" he asked. Blair said it wasn't "fair" that someone .working at a seasonal business should be forced to take ouj a license for a full year and "pay the same as someone who Is working (at a business) year after year." He said Langley had many- small contractors who would be hurt by the move. Other aldermen disagreed. The $62 license fee would not create a hardship on anyone, said Aid. Dan Kitsul. "If a business can't afford $5 a month for the privilege of doing business in Langley then it has no reason being in business in the first place," said Aid. Jim Lee. Blair's objections were over-, ruled. The bylaw change was authorized by majority vote of council. Shopping centre construction to go ahead ALDERGROVE - A shopping centre in the heart of this community which will provide 120,000 square feet of shopping and office space has long been on the drawing board, The retail areas will be connected by an enclosed pedestrian mall covering some 22,000 square feet providing easy access to each of the commercial premises within. The mall will have three entries, one to the west and two to the east, opening to two parking areas with a total capacity of 390 Major outlets in the centre will be a large retail store of a major supermarket chain and a drugstore which will occupy 12,000 square feet. There will also be a restaurant and a number of smaller boutiques. Elevators will connect the main floor of the building with the 10.000 square feet of offices on the second storey. Completion of the centre is scheduled for late 1976. in time for the heavy Christmas rush. The shopping centre with park ing facilities will occupy 6.75 acres cast of Jackman Road and south of the Bcrtrand Creek. Across the stream the new Aldergrove town plan calls for a proposed high density residential area.

A spokesman for the Abbotsford Sport Jumping Club, of which the two men were members, said both Robert A. Greig, 29, of Delta, and Robert Wilkins, 32, of Surrey, were experienced jumpers. Hanne Hardman. co-owner of the jumping club, said Grcig has morc than 200 jumps to his credit and Wilkins has slightly less than 200. She said four men were breaking out of a star formation when Grcig and Wilkins "somehow tracked in the same direction." Without being aware that wilkins was above him, Greig opened his main chute, entangling Wilkins so that he was not able to release his own chute." Mrs. Hardman said.

DOUBLEDAY CLERK-ADMINISTRATOR 20-3366-2 OTTAWA and SMALL BUSINESS Problem of concentration By KENNETH MCDONALD As many as 100.000 Canadian businesses could disappear over the next five years if Canada continues'on the British path of expanding government. Some businesses fail through incompetence and are replaced by others. Bui far more disappear because high levels of government spending force them to sell out. High government spending works its way through the economy. Everything goes up: wages and salaries, operating costs, taxes and interest rates. With profitability threatened, owner-managers seek purchasers, while the business is still viable, among larger companies which possess the market strength to pass on the tax wage price spiral. The circle is complete: high government spending; forced sale of small businesses to larger firms; corporate concentration through merger and acquisition; union concentration lo match the corporations. That is the British model. It is inefficient and it leads to a declining standard of living. The concentration of business in large firms and of people in big cities weakens the rural communities which then have to be supported by expanding social assistance programs. Tilt Japanese have a phrase- "Building small firms is cheaper than welfare." It's reflected In their dynamic economy, where government consumes only 20 per cent of the national product and 69 per cent of the manufacturing work force is employed by small business. In Britain it's the reverse: 60 per cent of the national product is consumed by government and only 20 per cent of the manufacturing work force is employed by small business. > The issue facing Canada is concentration. Not just corporate concentration, but concentration in cities, in unions, above all in government. Concentration is not the same as bioness. Plants making steel and petrochemicals have to be big. Large manufacturing plants and small sub-contractors are interdependent. Concentration in business is a result of the sellout of small firms that are unable to exist in the political and economic environment that governments have created. That is why the Canadian Federation of Independent Business decided to boycott ihe Royal Commission on Corporate Concentration. instead it recommended, in a letter to Prime Minister Trudeau, that the terms of reference be broadened to include the root cause of our problems: the interconnection between the growth of the state, corporate concentration, and organized labour.

The evening begins at the restaurant east of Abbotsford at six o'clock and after the dinner the grads must be back at their school in Aldergrove by 8:30. The ceremonies start at nine o'clock. book awards will be presented to top graduates in each subject area, the graduate of the year and the valedictorian will receive their just rewards and the dedication of the yearbook will take place ... always a moment of surprise. The school's stage band will be playing during intermissions in the ceremonies. The road to Canossa Fraser Valley College is going to Victoria "on our knees, if necessary" to seek help for students from Hope and Boston Bar. A split 4-3 vote by College Council Monday decided to ask the Minister of Education for funds to pay a $75-per month travel allowance to students from the Eastern end of the College region. Total cost of the subsidy is estimated at between $12,000 and $27,600 next year. Dean of Student Services Erl- ing Close told council he had interviewed a group of four Hope students "sharing Substandard housing" in Chilliwack so that they could attend college. About 20 people from Hope are enrolled as students at Chilliwack. 15 of them as first-time. full-time students. Opposition to the decision was voiced by vice-chairman Dave Greenwood of Chilliwack. who said that if the provincial government approved allowances for Hope students to attend college in Chilliwack. it should also pay allowances for Chilliwack and other B.C. students to travel to UBC for third and fourth year courses. "UBC never set itself up as a community college." countered John Johannesscn of Mission. Bill Ritchie of Abbotsford referred to an earlier discussion about the location of facilities, and said, "We should be thankful it's where it is, and that wc don't have to travel an extra 45 or 65 miles." ' .,, (| t„, " Ross 'liclsficr. also of Abbotsford. said the College region extends from Aldergrove to Boston Bar. and that the council has a responsibility "to bring it all together." He supported the idea of travel allowances, and made the motion that council should go to Victoria — "on our knees, if necessary" — to ask for the additional funds for next year's budget.

Deadman also thanks the people who turned out to give blood. The celebrations take many forms: there are film festivals, historical pageants, art and essay- contests, picnics, parades, teach- ins, band concerts, sports events and exhibitions of all types. But they are animated by a common spirit: pride in the past., and faith in the future. Canada Week '76 is more than just a celebration.

A lime to think about the struggles, hardships and achievements of the past. A time to recognize that there' are differences between Canadians • regional, political, linguistic and ethnic.

Impost relaxation considered in private MURRAYVILLE — Councilors here arc considering donating S5O.O00 in the shape of forgiven impost fees to El Dorado Manufacturing Ltd. of North Surrey. But the final decision will be mode at 'cabinet' level, not in open meeting of council. Ed Smith, of El Dorado, at long Cost was too high, says mayor ALDERGROVE — When Langley district paid JJ/4-million for the Aldergrove ice arena a year and a half ago they paid too much, thinks Mayor George Driediger. The Langley mayor said Monday morning that he wouldn't mind "putting up a junk building like that for that kind of money." He said "the bloody slab (under the ice surface) is cracked and there are cracks in the walls." And he proposed a motion, seconded by Aid. Elford Nundal. that the $5,000 holdback or bond due the builder of the arena be retained by the district. The municipality could not do much in the way of improvements to the structure for $5,000, he said, but they had already paid too much. For months and months councilors have talked about removing the ice surface from the arena In order to find out If there are FLOWERS 534-3633 L»ngUy FlowtrShop| indeed serious cracks in the concrete slab. Engineers have determined slight variations in ice level from one end of the arena to the other. The walls consist mainly of spray-insulated steel sheathing.

The property is 10 acres in size and normally a S!j,()00 impost fee would be charged on the development through a land use contract on each acre of land. Smith, however, has pointed out that he first made application to council three years ago and approval was unofficially granted. This council decision was later quashed by a subsequent ruling. Since then Smith has gone the whole bureaucratic route through regional district board, land use commission and subsequent councils. And since there was no impost charge system three years ago he feels that he should be exempted. Development co-ordinator Mel Harper has recommended against this. But councilors will invite him to come before them, in private, to discuss the matter. Aldergrove LEGION MARKET 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Sloping property 'bum land' MURRAYVILLE — A man near Fort Langley has septic tank difficulties councilors learned Monday. "But what are we going to do about it?" they asked. Mayor George Driediger. said that obviously Jan White had "bought a bum piece of property" when he purchased land at the southwest corner of Livingstone Road and Rawlison Crescent. While could not build on the property because he couldn't meet health specifications for a septic tank system, council heard. The property in question has a natural slope of more than 30 percent, Driediger said. And health officials cannot allow a septic tank and disposal field on the incline.

Because of health regulations a new septic field system would have to be installed to facilitate the home, building inspector Peter Jarvis told council Monday morning.

MARK'S REMARKS Come fly with me On the assembly line By JOHN SQUIRRELLY The current controversy between Transport Minister Otto Lang and the Canadian Association of Air Traffic Controllers . (CATCA) was brought to a further boil this week over the proposed use of French in air traffic control at Quebec's main airports. CATCA has threatened strike action if negotiations do not resolve the issue, and the Canadian Air Line Pilots' Association (CALPA) has promised to strike in support. Both CATCA and CALPA contend that the use of any language other than English will pose a safety hazard to both passengers and crew, pointing out that all communication between pilot and tower, even in France, is in English. I was fortunate enough the other day to have been invited to see the operation of the control tower at Dorval airport outside of Montreal, being cautioned by an official not to interrupt anyone but just to watch the efficiency and precision with which the controllers bring in a plane. Suddenly, as 1 was taking a seat, a tension-filled voice crackled over the speaker. "Mayday! Mayday!" it said, using the international distress call. The controller leaped to his microphone. "Oui, monsieur," he said, "est-ce-que je peux vous aider?" "Mayday!" the voice said again. "This is flight 4507 from London requesting emergency landing procedure. We have a fuel leak and can't stay up much longer." "Je nc parte pas I'anglais," the controller said. "What?" the voice asked. "I dont' speak English, jerk," he replied. There was a moment of silence. "But, you just did, perfect English," the anguished voice cried. "C'ctait uncerrcur." "Look." the voice pleaded, "1 I don't speak French but I've got to have landing instructions quickly. There arc three hundred passengers on board here. I mean, if it were just for myself, 1 wouldn't mind so much." "Je regrettc, monsieur, je ne peux pas vous comprendre." "Okay, okay," the voice said, "i'll try speaking in French. I've got to get down somehow. Uh, I Returning from Ihc Okanagan, I stopped at Kcrcmcos. bought a huge box of asparagus and proudly presented it to my wife for Mother's Day. Later on, as she sliced and chopped away at the kitchen sink, preparing the spears for freezing, she remarked on how timc-consumtng the job was: "I've been half the day at it and slilt have a third left to do." "You'd never make it on the assembly line." 1 told her. "When I was a kid working in the canneries at two-bits an hour,, there were rows and rows of girls and women who spent the summer nionllis every year packing fruit and vegetables into cans." I went on to explain that they were paid on the basis of what they did. Piece work, the system was called. The women were paid so much per tray for peeling, pitting or paring, depending on the particular fruit or vegetable, and packing the product into cans. The next step was for male employees to run the trays first through ihc blanchcr and then to the machine that clamped or crimped on the lids. "Piece work was a system that rewarded effort.*' I commented. "Those women with the greatest productivity earned the most money. And those who failed to keep their heads down working — spending (oo much time powdering their noses in the ladies' room or flirting with the boys al the Canco machine — paid for their sins by gelling smaller pay cheques." "I wouldn't have liked all that pressure," my wife said as she stopped cutting and looked leisurely out the window. "How much did they get paid?" "Well, it depended ... the fast girls got more and the slow girls gol less," I replied tentatively. "Life's like that," she countered. "But," I hastened, "the pay scale was arranged so that the fast girls got what was then close to a living wage. The slower ones got somewhat less and rightly so according to the thinking of that day." "Of course they didn't need all that much anyway. Rents were cheap and only the rich had cars and fridges and radios. And the system was seldom challenged. If they weren't well-off, it was thought to be their own fault: they must be either dumb or lazy or both." "You haven't answered my question, Mark. How much did they make?" "I don't remember exactly. But I do recall one instance when the management set a tray-price which allowed the best piece-rate women to make more than the men. who earned thirty-seven and a half cents an hour, and that caused problems. To overcome this mistake, the piece-rate was cut in half. So the men were satisfied and management was happy, too. "Didn't the women object?" piv wife queried. "Well, in those times there was no thought about strikes or slowdowns. If you didn't like the conditions, you were free to quit, that's all." "Were the men paid by piecework?" she wondered. "Not usually. Shingle weavers were paid piece-rates in those days and some miners. But unions discouraged piece work and today, about the only people persisting with the system arc used-car and waterless-cooker salesmen. Then it's called a "commission." Of course, dentists and doctors and lawyers do it, too, but they call it "Fee for service." "Anyway, we're talking too much." I said. "If you don't get some spring in that knife you'll be at the sink till fall." Shifting her knife from the paring position to a dagger grip, my wife stated in sharp tones, "I'd like you to know the editor emeritus of the Financial Times. Michael Barkway. testified before a parliamentary committee studying the Competition Bill that the GNP should be redefined to include the value of unpaid work by housewives." "You read too much," I told her. "I need a union, that's what!" "You're already in a union," I called — on my way out the door. "It's called marriage and the contract states that I go out and earn the bread while you stay home and carve up asparagus." By that time I was outside, 11 million days lost OTTAWA — Man-days lost from 1.043 strikes and lockouts in Canada in 1975 totalled 11.041,490, Labour Canada reported recently. The 1,043 work stoppages involved 427,675 workers and a 19 percent increase in time lost for 1975. Corresponding 1974 figures were 1,216 stoppages, 592,220 workers and 9,255.120 man-days. need, uh, j'ai besoin des instructions pour lander, uh, des- cendre a terre." "Ccrtainement, monsieur," the controller said, "prenez la piste d'atterrissage numero six." "Oh good grief," the voice said despairingly, "1 don't know what you're saying. Isn't there anyone there that speaks English." "Un moment, monsieur." A chap who had been sitting listening to the dialogue took over the microphone. "Hello, flight 4507, this is the tower. You are cleared for landing on runway number six. Emergency vehicles will be in position." "Thank God!" the voice exclaimed. "You arrived in time!" "Well, not really," he said, "it's just that I don't take over from Henri until four o'clock." There was a stunned silence. "You mean." the voice yelled, "that you sat there all this time? Why couldn't you have said something?" "Do I tell you how to drive your airplane?" the controller asked. A choked scream was heard from the speaker as the plane headed for runway six. Shortly after, a call came in from another approaching aircraft. "Alio, alio, Dorval. M'aidez! lei vol 3928 de Paris. J'ai besoin unc piste vitement pour un at- tcrrissage force!" "Sorry, I don't speak French." "Quoi?" "Je ne parte pas le francais, idiotc," the controller replied. The now familiar silence ensued. "Mais, vous venez de parler de francais, et parfaite- ment." "That was a mistake, I'll try not to let it happen again." "Cost tres importante que je descends a terre immediatement. Nous n'avons pas assez du gaz pour continucr." "You are cleared for landing on runway number three. Please lower flaps and reduce speed on* approach. Since you are running out of gas, emergency vehicles will be in attendance." "Je ne vous comprends pas." "That ain't my fault, buddy." "Cost necessairc de vous dire que nous avons M. Otto Lang, le ministre du transport, a bord. II a un tres important rendez-vous ici a Montreal." "Really? Otto Lang is on board? Listen, flight 3928, we arc too crowded here. You will have to fly on to Toronto." "Quoi?" "Cc n'est pas possible a des- cendre a terre ici. Allex a Toronto." the controller commanded. "A Toronto? Cost impossible! Legaz!" "Allez a Toronto. Allex!" All that could be heard after that was the ever fainter voice of the pilot repeating. "C'est impossible, e'est impossible ....1" The controller turned to me and said, "1 think 1 just solved another problem."

Letfers to the Editor Corner is a killer, Mr. Minister "itfaw/w, how could you think of such a thing... at today's gas prices?" Editor, The Slat, Dear Sir. high - the a First of all I would like to driver has a acknowledge ihe work thai you something le have dune with your newspaper These signs a editorializing ihe dangers of what we know as 'Speedies Comer.' For those thai don'i know Speedies Comer is the intersection of the Fraser Highway and ihe Bellingham Highway (also called County Line Road). I'm sure if John Speedie had a choice he would immediately disassociate his name from lhat corner, however ... I will use the name ii's known by. I believe lhat both these highways fall under the jurisdiction of ihe provincial highways department. Therefore the control, design, maintenance and engineering falls due at the Victoria doorstep. There has been much hand- wringing, imploring, stalling and general delay in gelling the comer properly engineered. I don't want lo be an alarmist but perhaps if I make a few points then your readers (including Hon. Mr. A.V. Fraser) will get the idea. 1. There has been death al that corner. 2. Your newspaper has attempted to stir public inlerest. 3. The Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce have written the Minister of Highways. 4. A UBC interest has installed flashing blue lights elsewhere to make a survey. These lights have no affect on Speedies Corner. 5. The Minister of Highways replied to the Chamber of Commerce and advised that full control lights, including flashing amber on the western approach, would be installed by April I. I assume that's 1976. 6. Yesterday, May 16 there was another close call. Guess what, again today. May 17. yet another 'close call.' 7. Today. May 17, I called Victoria. Yes, they arc aware of the dangerous corner ■ yes, they intend to install the full complement of traffic control lights - yes, thank you for the call and they arc doing something about it. Not wanting to be an alarmist, and also not wanting to insult the engineers in Victoria who are good men trying to do a good job I nevertheless must emphatically state that it is my opinion Spccdic's Corner has been designed with a fault built in. 1 am not referring to the crown in the road from the western approach. I am referring to the placement of the small direction signs that have been placed in the immediate line of vision for vehicles proceeding cither north or south. These signs are about four feet reragc automobile height of eye of ,s than four feet. re also not vital to ihe safety of the corner. One Informs the approaching vehicle lhat the 401 is to the north so turn right and ihe other advises that it is placed in ihe centre of a traffic island. Why is the traffic island there anyway: lo hold the sign? I cannot prove thai these signs have contributed to the death toll at the comer. 1 josi believe it. 1 suggest that other interested people thai live in this area lake a drive and have a look for their own satisfaction, Victoria advised me also that ihe reason for the delay in pulling in the full control signal al Speedie's Corner is that the survey being done by UBC isn't finished yet and if they put the signals in it would negate or otherwise influence the survey. Thai's the flashing blue signals, remember? ■Well now it behooves me not io get nasty • not lo say things like for instance • How come UBC are using Aldergrove for guinea pigs? What control does DOH exert over UBC in traffic safety? This could go on bill ... no. Let's just stick lo the problem. Speedie's Corner is a qualified killer. The UBC experiment isn't likely to save any lives (how come UBC haven't given us any info from this experiment yet?). What we require is immediate action in the form of positive control of that corncf. I would recommend a road block on the western approach immediately for starters. Make all traffic stop before even getting to the intersection. Then when the positive control lights arc installed and operational (he road block could be removed. In all fairness I think DOH are doing their job to the best of their ability. They intend to put the control signals in. It's just a question of when. I will forward a copy of this letter to the minister and hope to sec evidence of his concern shortly. I will be happy to accompany the minister or any of his engineers on a journey through the corner at their convenience should they so desire. May 1 re-cap? a. I believe the traffic signs to be morc detrimental even than the high crown in the western approach, and; b. 1 believe the .Installation of full control signal lights should not be delayed by a UBC survey. Thank you, Rudy, for your interest, and thank you Chamber of Commerce for your efforts. Larry Blackball 3918 • 264 Street, Aldergrove ^|Haaa^ THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 1976 WENMAN REPORT By BOB WENMAN, MP Peace keepers. Who? Us? A recent study by the Inter- national Institute for Strategic Studies indicates that the chances of world conflict are increasing, fed by an ever increasing flow of arms. The Anus Control and Disarmament Agency in Washington reveals that world military spending has reached nearly $300 billion a year. The Soviet Union and ihc United States account for nearly 60 percent of the expenditures and many Members of the Opposition are most interested in discovering just where Canada fits into the scenario. Most Canadians should be made aware of the fact that although Canada appears to be a most respected nation in international affairs; although Canada has been a strong advocate of test ban treaties, she is actually playing both sides of the board. Promoting peace and brotherhood from the one hand. Canada is dealing aggressively in the sales of military equipment with the other. She is among the top ten nations engaged in the business of dealing in arms. During the past several years export sales in military equipment have reached nearly $.100 million annually. Although the U.S. acquires about two-thirds of the Canadian equipment, the Third-World countries are increasing their percentage lake of the remainder. It never ceases to ama/c mc how our hypocritical government can in one given moment plead vigorously lor world pence, for contributing aid to the underdeveloped nations and in another moment reverse the situation calmly by dealing in the sate of military equipment. Arms dealing contradicts Canada's role as a peace-keeping nation. Canada denounces South Africa for the practice of apartheid. She pressures those attempting to organize an Olympics for the handicapped in Toronto, by withholding once promised funds, unless South Africa is dropped from the invitation list. Prime Minister Trudeau refuses to appear at an Ontario plowing match where South Africans are present, but it is line and honorable to deal in arms wilh this particular nation. One quickly understands what Joe Clark refers to when he declares that the credibility gap is growing between the government and the people. The Canadian government and its institutions are losing respect very quickly. The government insists that it is noi a peddler of arms, hut rather of "defence equipment". Canada does not sell attack weapons, but only these pertaining to defense. Some time ago. while under attack during question period, the Honorable Mr. Sharp explained to Gordon Fair- weather. M.P. for Fundy-Royal. lhat many of (he items Canada supplied in respect to military equipment was not intended for the purpose of killing people. Government officials admit that some ten per cent of the sales is in ammunition, but someone has forgotten to demonstrate to officials what a bullet can do when used properly. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute states thai Canada not only has sold anus to South Africa but also to Uganda. Nigeria. Pakistan. India. Portugal. Greece. Turkey. Zambia. Chile, and Morocco. One cannot refute the fact that Canada docs most of her dealings with the United Stales, but the fact also remains that the government can do very little to control military equipment, mude in Canada, once it is legitimately sold a- broad. There is nothing Canada can do if the U.S. buys Canadian military equipment, resells it to Iran, who in turn sells it to Angola, who uses the equipment against Portugal, a NATO member. Officially, Canada is concerned about peace in the world, and about the health of underdeveloped nations. Her secondary concern is in accumulating foreign currency. It is about time that Canadians demand to know just what role Canada wishes to play on the international scene. Do wc sell arms, or do wc promote the building up of underdeveloped nations? It is time that wc take a stand. Wc cannot play both roles. Robert L. Wenman. M,P. 3-22409 Mcintosh Ave. Maple Ridge. B.C.

He called it the Commercial. He left his wife and son George Albin to look after the hotel while he worked in a logging camp in Washington. Once Ihc family got settled Wilson Towle and his two youngest sons Stanley Clayton and Reid. bought a portion of the H.B.C. farm. In 1885 William Stoddard bought land near (he Towle farm. Originally from Lockerbie. Scotland, the Stoddards had spent veins in St. Paul. Minnesota, before pulling up stakes and coming to Britisli Columbia. Two sons returned to St. Paul lo live out the rest of their lives. Another son. Adam, went into the delivery business in New Westminster. A daughter Jane King Stoddard had married John Jardinc in Cumberland. England, in 1880. Imnicd- lately after their marriage the two crossed Ihe Atlantic to join the wife's folks in St. Paul. They had no sooner reached St. Paul when the Stoddards left for British Columbia. The Jardines stayed in Si. Paul until 1884. Upon reaching B.C.

VI.KY MUCH A PART Ol'" YOUR COMMUNITY OFI Credit Union 3528 -248 Street Aldergrove 856-2558 2941-272 Street Aldergrove 856-7724 The Langley story lived in Esquimalt. The Stoddards lived on his farm for a few years and then moved into New Westminster. One night Stanley Towle was out courting Agnes Stoddard with a horse and buggy. Returning home from a dance the rim came off one of the wheels of the buggy. Since it was late and dark Towle decided to throw the rim into the back of the buggy and continue home without fixing it. The spokes made holes in the road about six inches apart wherever the wheel passed. When the young man got up in the morning to milk his father was already in the barn. "Sowing your wild oats last night. I sec, ell son," was Wilson Towle's remark to his son as he entered the barn. "No Dad, corn planting." came back Stan's reply. He married Agnes Stoddard in 1888. store in Qucsnel. He then got involved in river boat construction. Hour and saw mills, and mine management. He became a Member of Parliament in 1881 and served Cariboo in that capacity until 1888 when he was made a Senator, a position which he held until his death in 1904. It was Simeon Carmen that built a house and barn on the Maxwell farm. The lumber for the house was from the first abandoned schoolhouse at Derby. He built the barn with 75 cents worth of square iron nails. V^ v^- JOHN MAXWELL Nor was John Maxwell a stranger to Britisli Columbia. Born in Ireland he had sailed lo Canada with relatives at the age of ten. His first job had been breaking log jams on the Gatill- can River. Hearing of the Fraser River gold rush he left Ontario when 20 in the company of his cousin James Reid. The pair readied the Cariboo in 1858. Instead of striking it rich they ran out of food and were forced to cat their dogs. Maxwell look sick and Reid brought him out to New Westminster. The Irip out was a nightmare. On the way out Reid managed to shoot a blue jay. He shook their Hour sacks out for a second lime and attempted to make soup. Thai one bird kept them from starving to death. When Maxwell recovered he refused to return to the Cariboo and instead took, up 4b0 acres of land 1'/. miles south east of Fori Langley in January 1870. Reid returned to the Cariboo and to prospecting-. Three years later he went Into partnership with Hib- bard Hudson and built the largest Rev. and Mrs. Alexander ttinn For the first three years of the municipality's existence Maxwell was always actively involved in its polities, the only two meetings he had missed were in July and Augusi of 1874. He was back in Wakefield, Ontario, trying to persuade young Elizabeth Carmen, the daughter of a United Empire Loyalist, to marry him and accompany him back to Langley. He had a hard time convincing her lhat Ihc west coast was the land of plenty. She at last agreed and the two, along with her mother and brother Scmcon. returned to Langley. REV. ALEXANDER DUNN ll was the James Mackie family that put up the Reverend Alexander Dunn, the second Presbyterian minister on the mainland, in two rooms of their spacious home for $30.00 a month. The minister had been educated at the universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. Scotland, and in the spring of 1875 was one of four volunteers sent by the Church of Scotland for mission work in British Columbia. The day following his arrival in. Victoria Dunn was ordained in St. Andrew's Church and assigned to minister to both sides of the Fraser from its mouth to Yale. This district had previously been the responsibility of Reverend Robert Jamieson. Dunn's task was gigantic. Over tile years he married and buried most of the Presbyterian pioneers in the Fraser Valley. Every third Saturday he rode horseback from Langley to Somas Prairie • a distance of 3.1 miles - to be ready for service the following morning. Rarely did he ever encounter another traveller. On alternate Sundays he rode to Ladner to preach there. In Langley Dunn preached in an old church situated on the Mackie property right in the midst of tall second growth fir. The building had originally been a schoolhouse in New Westminster bin in 1872 was dismantled and brought upriver to be re-erected under the supervision of Reverend Jamieson. It was used continuously for 13 years and was known as the "Meeting House", ll was abandoned in 1885 when St. Andrew's Church was opened and dedicated to Reverend Dunn. In 1882 Dunn went back to a church convention in Ontario and while there married Ann Kern of Forestville. Returning to the Fraser Valley Dunn built a small home just to the north of the H.B.C. farm. The home still stands. In 1885 Dunn supervised the construction of two churches • one ai Fort Langley and the other at Mud Bay. St. Andrew's Church at Milner still stands. The following year Dunn was transferred to a three year pastorate al Port Al- bcini. Ill 1889 he again returned lo the Fraser Valley radiating out from his home in Whonnock. He retired from the minister in 1905 alter 30 years service in B.C. to reside in New Westminster. In 1913 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree by Westminster Hall for his outstanding contribution to the work and the life of the church and community. He died of heart failure in 1925 al Ihe age of 82. His wife died in 1934. They had no children.

Have you . ever considered rallying? H's mil the rough, car smashing sport television commercials would have you "believe. The Hyack Festival Canyon rally is designed for people who have never rallied before and have a fond desire to try it. Consider rallying as merely a Sunday drive through the countryside via a given set of instructions. All rally speeds arc ten percent below the speed limits. Rallys are not races. The Canyon rally is part of New Westminster's Hyack Festival and starts in Queens Park on Sunday, May 30 at 10 a.m. but you should get there earlier to register or gather needed information for the contest. The cost per car is $4.00. The event is organized by the Columbian Autosport club which is based in the Surrey-Delta area and is one of the oldest motor- sport clubs in B.C. The club meets the second Wednesday of each month at 8 p.m. in a room at the Newton Inn on King George Highway (72 Avenue and King George). To prcregistcr or obtain information, phone Gail at 576- 8873. Diana at 591-3052 or the Hyack festival offices at 522- 6894. The duration of the rally is approximately four hours and makes its route through the picturesque areas of Ihe Surrey, Langley area, and finishes at the Magic Chef restaurant in New Westminster. Does the forest ever stop growing? Fraser Valley women's festival Shadowland Breed takes ALDERGROVE - At an a- wards banquet last Friday evening, Jack Graham ol Shadowland Farm on Coghlan Road was awarded three trophies by the B.C. Standard Breed Association. One was lor the B.C. Broodmare of the Year lor Reed's Phala. The second trophy was lor Horse ol the Year, B.C. Count, and the plaque held by Jack Graham Is awarded by the B.C. Standard Breed Association to the person making the most outstanding contribution to breed Improvement ol Standard Bred Horses in B.C. during the year. Reed's Phala's dam Nellie Adious was brood mare In 1973. She was owned by the Graham's also and was with her second loal when they bought her. They liked her so much that they went back and bought her first loal, which was Reld's Phala. She is still on the larm and Is presently In loal with Invincible Shadow. B.C. Count was raised on the farm. He is out ol Reed's Phala and Tar Duke, who is the B.C. Standard Breed Association lease horse standing at stud at the Albert Beaman Farm at Mt. Lehman. B.C. Count and his brother, B.C. Audacious are North American season leaders In their class ol three and lour year olds. They obtained their record In harness racing In California. Presently on Shadowland Farm there are 89 Standard Bred horses owned by the Graham's and 125 mares from various points In Canada and the U.S. waiting to be bred to world record holder Invincible Shadow. Across continent Continued from pnge 14 Calgary for Ihe Stampede. That trip took them 28 clays over 900 miles. They carried all their own gear and camped along the way. Lately Joan has been doing mostly pleasure riding anil participated in drill team riding. Earlier she did a lot of endurance - riding. Joan is doing (his ride mostly because il is something she has always wanted to do. She looks at it as a challenging adventure. She is looking forward to meeting all the other riders, the people along the way and viewing the beautiful scenery along the trails. The greatest thing, she said, about the trip to Calgary in '62 was the people you got into contact with along the way, and when they heard that the family were en- route to Calgary on horse back many of them told the McFar- lancs that that was something they often had thought would be a fun thing to do, but somehow never did. By tl.c time this goes to press. Joan .vill be boarding the plane to New York, and leaving shortly in her trail will be Sylvia Zentner who is the other entry from Lang- Icy district in the race. We hope during the next three months to be able to follow the two entries across the continent from time to time. Standard awards Presently there are some 14 foals on the farm out of Invincible Shadow. ABBOTSFOKD — May 28 and 29 will he a special time for Fraser Valley women. This is the weekend that Fraser Valley College and local women's groups have chosen lor a women's festival to he held at the college campus here. "This is not just an event for feminists and those already involved in the women's movement." says Sharon Syrette, program planner for the college. "We want to bring all valley women together to exchange ideas, talents and concerns. We hope to ereatc an atmosphere of joy and laughter. The festival is a celebration — not a political rally." This emphasis is reflected in the diversity of groups which are involved — local Women's Institutes, a health food store, Canada Manpower counsellors, painters, writers, and performers, the Homemakers Service, senior a- dult resource services, faculty from Douglas College and Simon Fraser University, a dance troupe, and counsellors and students from the local high schools. Three central themes will be creativity, relationships, and a- chievement. As well as a wide range of workshops, there will be plenty of fun — free fdms, displays of local arts, crafts and homeskills, music, singing, dancing, and a gymnastics display. Women of all ages are urged to attend - cither as participants or observers. Daycare is available by pre-arrangement. For further information, contact your local college office, or write Fraser Valley College. 34194 Marshall Rd., Abbotsford. In a sense, yes. A kind of limit is ultimately reached. This happens when, for one reason or another, the forest reaches a point of stagnation. A similar thing will often take place in the centre area of a city. Businesses that have moved in to the downtown section create more and morc commerce, This in turn brings about a series of changes, all designed to allow for even more business activity. Vacant lots arc used and space in existing buildings must be rcplanncd. Electric wiring and watcrmains must be replaced. Possibly, oneway routings will be necessary to permit the flow of traffic down the narrow streets. But, eventually, all our skill and technology arrive at the end of what can be done with the aging city core. No more remodelling is feasible and there can be no more growth, In the forest too, there is a time at which the end of change and growth is reached. Here, it is not the limits of skill and technology, but very largely nature and climate that call the tune. For instance, there is only so much water for the forest to use, hecausc only a given amount of rain falls each year. Likewise, such considerations as the numb- ber of days of sunshine per year, the temperature, or the altitude determine which kinds of trees will grow in an area. This means there is a limit to the number of species lhat can become established. As in the city centre, the forest comes to a point where there can be little new growth and most of its trees are old and dying. The fate of decay has caught up with the rate at which new wood is produced and we say the forest is overmature and decadent. Wc invite your questions.

V6E2S9. GARDEN NOTES Shade or sun? By ALF WILLIAMS The question I'm asked these days, now that the time for planting our annuals is here, is, "Do they like shade or sun?" Some of our shade loving annuals arc. Colcus, Impatiens or Tuberous Begonias. The sun loving annuals are. Zinnias. Pelegonium Geranium. Livingston Daisy, Portulaca Petunias. Other plants that can take some shade during the day are. Marigolds. Snapdragons, Pansics, Salvia, or Fiberous Begonias. Plants like a lot of organic mailer added to the soil. The best way is to add rotted manure, preferably wilh straw used as bedding, then mixed in the manure. During the growing season a loose mulch of soil, one inch deep left on the surface by a band hoe helps to control weeds, also stopping the escape of moisture from the ground. This should he loosened after every watering to break the crust caused by rain or sprinkler. Sylvia leaves Thursday morning Sylvia Zentner of Aldergrove. who already, hack in January, decided she was going in the Bicentennial Horserace, is leaving lor Seattle Thursday morning with her two Appaloosas and Janet Morrison of Swallowfield Farms who is going as Sylvia's groom. They will arrive al Kennedy Airport late Thursday night and will go from there to the home of Jerry Hyatt of Hyatt Industrial Inc. where they will stay until the race starts. The horses will undergo final vet checks from May 24-.10 before the final entry. Several presentations were made to Sylvia Tuesday. They included S2.500 from the B.C. Sports Federation, applied for on Sylvia's behalf hy the B.C. Horseowners Association. Buekerfields arc donating $500 plus feed and water buckets and Thrive and New York International will present her with 51,000 plus horse blankets. This will give her the $4,000 out of the $8,000 she needs to complete the ride. Several smaller donations have come in as well and the Zcntncrs feel they arc now only about $3,000 behind the target. Sylvia is not treating her trip as a holiday. She is determined to go and to win the race. She and the horses have been training since January. The horses arc in excellent shape and Dr. Twidalc gave them the final certificate last week. . While Sylvia is away south riding her way across the continent her husband Joe will be busy at this end trying to raise enough money for her to Finish the race.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE ARTS Children and Art in the Langley Mall feature exhibits from Aldergrove Region, Simonds Region, Brookswood Jr. High and noticed some work from Milner elementary. The variety and originality of the work continues to come through loud and clear. Brookswood Jr. High, the first school to attempt figures in action was well done with some excellent birds and animals (I liked the seagull and the pcrsian cat). The drummer boy was a good attempt with much detail and the landscapes and mosaics completed this exhibit. Aldergrove Elementary seem to have an anti smoking campaign message to get across to the public at large. Art is not just to look at - it has a message too. The exploding pictures were well done in this exhibit, as well as string arl, mosaics and foil pictures. Simonds elementary was o very people oriented exhibit with figures and masks of paper machc, puppets and a great Snoopy. The macrame was well done and the ceramics and cloth flowers and knitting made a great display. Milner elementary must be studying Indian Art and motifs and their spring bouquets with tissues was light and airy. Did the basketry come from Milner? Really couldn't tell but it was an excellent beginning. Parkside Centennial have been doing a lot of paper mache in their 3 D Art. Also noted the driftwood piece with the ceramic birds to Jonathan! Wool art, puppets, macrame, weaving and "Our favorite junk" ond shadow boxes filled out a very varied display. Those batiks hanging from the celling were done by Simonds school. Beginning May 19-26th Bradshaw Region and Peterson Rd. Region and-o Mystery high school will scfrpp their displays. Each group seems to have o different approach so don't miss any of them. Noticed a bus load of children on Monday morning coming from the Mali. Aldergrove Art Show will be held this coming weekend at the Elks Hall, Fraser Highway in Aldergrove ond not the O.A.P. hall as formerly announced. This very active club always has a good display of work and hope you will find time to drop in from 11-9 on Friday and 11-6 on Saturday. Fraser Valley Potter Guild was represented at the last meeting of the Langley Arts Council by Sec. Fran Hollingcr. The new president of the group is Anne Liut- wcilcr. vice president Jeanne Sarich and Trcas. Francis Sevier. Their next meeting will feature a slide show on work done at the Shawnigan Lake School of the Arts and also modern Japanese pottery by Karen lshi. Anyone wanting further information on this group call Fran Holligcr 574- 7871. AGE Someone asked me how it felt to be so old and still so active. I answered it felt good.

Once all the crew is aboard, the raft shoves off and the race is under Each raft will be carrying a specially-cut rock for delivery to Ruskin for the building of a cairn commemorating rafting on the Hrascr River. Keep well clear of ihe dock as the rafts come in and a crew member will run up with the rock, place it on the cairn site and gently draw a garter from the leg of Miss Ruskin to prove his presence. The mayor of Ruskin, Florida, will also come ashore from the S.S. Beaver at this dock so the area will be popular. This year the finish line will be opposite Haney Brick and Tile at the foot of 225 Street. Cliff and Ray. the do/.er boat operators from Northvicw Enterprises, will push the rafts into the log pond where the commercial truck crane will lift them out.
