XT "our twentieth yeaf Phone 856-8303 or 856-5212 15° per copy AT COUNTY LINE Industrial complex on the drawing board Road can't take the traffic, says alderman huge been' COUNTY LINE — The question of whether or not a golf course developer should bc allowed to finance his proposal through a housing complex on the site really goes further than if he can satisfy council's inquiries as to his financial capabilities, Aid. Art Brooks told council at Murrayville Monday morning. John Kelly, who wishes to build two I8*holc golf courses on 300 acres of land between 264 Street and 256 Street on the hillside overlooking Glen Valley, had been asked to present himself at council this week and further explain his proposal. But Brooks said that council should instead of encouraging Kelly "...lake a look at County Line Road." This road, he said, from Glen Valley south to the freeway, would have to completely reconstructed in orde to allow for the type of developments proposed by Kelly. And at a cost of between $120.000 and $130,000 a mile this .was no mean undertaking, he said. "This road has to be straightened out (north of M Street)," he said, in order to facilitate an influx of families into the sparsely populated area north of the first hill. Sixty new families moving into sixty proposed new strata title housing units on the Whispering Hills golf course, would mean a tremendous increase in traffic on County Line Road, he said. Aid. Jim Lee, however, did not agree with Brooks' argu- • •/ -Ml - -^m^^'^:'»m^_^M To prove that he practices what he preaches, Health Minister Bob McClelland, also among the first 200 to finish and above he is receiving the 'I made it' crest and a Langley MLA, was one of the sl|ver birch tree from Alder- first ones to start out on the 12 man j0C|, Llndsey. mile walk last Sunday. He was Doris Swensson, widow of Pete, received a corsage from walk chairman Lorraine Mur- Ihe Langley Walk's originator chlson. ment. "There is nothing consistent in that statement," Lee said. The golf course in itself would create far more traffic in the area than that generated by the 60 families, he said. Aid. Bill Blair said he agreed with Brooks' road concept. But on the other hand, he said, "something has to be done with that property." Councilors were told that Kelly holds an option to purchase qn the land from Jack Gibson and the Gibson brothers in Vancouver. This option has so far cost him $30,000, and the Gibsons, who arc anxious to dispose of the land, pay annual taxes to the municipality for the 305 acres of undeveloped hillside land to the tunc of $24,000. "They are trying to unload themselves front a $24,000 tax bill," said Kelly's agent, "Is that so unreasonable?" When it was suggested that the Gibsons instead lease the land for farming, he said that they could not possibly compete with the B.C. land commission which owns huge tracts of land in the district and reportedly lease the properties back to farmers for $105 an acre plus taxes. Such an arrangement would net the owners of County Line property $32,000 a year on top of1 paying their tax bill. Brooks said it would be a mistake "to get the man (Kelly) to spend more money" on his plans, when fellow councilors urged the would-be developer to prepare a prospectus showing how the scheme would be carried off financially. "1 am not in favor of housing there," Brooks said. "You are going to twist housing out of us," Mayor George Driediger told Kelly. "Well, you arc not going to have it." "1 am just asking for approval for 60 people to live on their property ... just like everyone else," said Kelly. He has argued that the only way he can finance the golf course development is by selling shares, at about $90,000 a family, to people who would then become strata title owners to the entire property and would each live in their own apartment in a big complex. Aid. Elford Nundal said that if the project was approved "... pretty soon we will have a lot of golf courses in Langley" - all developed by people who really wanted to build housing in rural areas and used the recreational aspect as a ploy. And Driediger suggested that all Kelly was interested in would be to "whack up buildings and sell 'em, and we'll end up with building complexes in nowhere." As far as finances were concerned, Driediger {old Kelly, "1 tell you, you can't do it." Kelly said he could, and that at a selling price of $90,000 per unit — "very competitive today" — enough funds could be raised to ensure that the golf courses were built before the foundations were dug for the housing units. The project, if all the units were sold in the proposed manner, would have a budget of S5.4-million. The application was tabled for 30 days, offering Kelly the opportunity of preparing a financial prospectus, A similar but smaller propsal on 190 acres of land near 240 Street and 56 Avenue also came back to council this week. This proposed project, by Venture and Keemen Developments, had earlier been given council's permission to proceed to the land commission stage. Council decided to ask these two companies as well to present a feasibility study and proposed ultimate use of the entire property to council. This application was tabled as well. COUNTY LINE - A industrial complex has planned for this area north of the 401 freeway. An application has been submitted by Gloucester Properties for a proposed 'Fraser Industrial. Centre' an about 800 acres of largely undeveloped land between County Line Road and the Matsqui boundary, and the freeway and 60 Avenue to the north. The application, coupled with secret negotiations with Langley district council, is the first step in an attempt to remove the land from the provincial land reserve Rose Queen chosen this Saturday ALDERGROVE - Judges will have the hard task of choosing between 11 young local ladies when they select the Rose Queen for. 1977-78 at the pageant to be held at the Aldergrove high school auditorium this coming Saturday, May 7. The beauty contest, sponsored by the local agricultural association, gets under way at 7:30 p.m. Contestants are Lori Major (Miss Chamber of Commerce), Susan Kawamoto (Miss OFI Credit Union), Ann Tanner (Miss Jan's Place), Susan Kerslake (Miss Aldergrove Hardware). Carol Sim (Miss Alder-Inn Hotel), Lori Alexander (Miss Legion Auxiliary to Branch 265), Lisa Howard (Miss Aldergrove 5c to $1), Diane Turpin (Miss Aldergrove Secondary), Marianne Tim- merman (Miss Bradner Community Club), Debbie Hunter (Miss Aldergrove Elks), and Sherrie Ellen Peterson (Miss CFS Aldergrove). A Rose Queen and two attendant princesses will be chosen to represent the agricultural association and the community at functions during the coming year. First public appearance of the new 'royalty' will be at the Bradner and Fort Langley Victoria day parades and celebrations on May 23. and rezone it for industrial use. John Loretto, representing Gloucester and Chichester Properties, of 1610 - 1177 West Hastings, Vancouver, met with Langley councilors on Monday. April 25 and explained the proposal to council at a cabinet meeting. On the same day the company's official application to the B.C. Land Commission was returned to district council from the regional district for comments. The soil categories of the area, •4 «/E 48 mt which includes some new ranch type homes on five and ten acre lots, are 3 and 4 as listed under the national soil type classification. The large tract of land is presently zoned rural 2 (10-acre minimum) but frozen under the agricultural land reserve. It is currently broken down in from five to 100 acre lot sizes. The area, purchased by Gloucester from Grosvenor Laing a couple of years ago, is bounded by Highway no. 1 between the Bellingham Road overpass and the Langley-Matsqui boundary, from there north to 60 Avenue, west to Jackman Road, south to 58 Avenue, west to 268 Street, south to 56 Avenue, west to 264 Street and south to highway I as shown on the map. Plans also call for a property service road to run parallel to and north of the freeway, and a new overpass to link the propsed development directly to the town of Aldergrove via Jackman Road. They also call for a 100 foot landscaped and treed greenbclt to surround the industrial area on all sides except for the southern boundary visible from the two- mile long stretch of freeway. Exactly what type of an industrial development Gloucester has in mind has not yet been revealed, but the proximity to the freeway and the Canada-U.S. customs at Aldergrove is said to be a major factor in the company's plans for the proposed development. Gloucester in their application has pointed to the long-range benefits they say could accrue to the community from an industrial park at this site. Apart from the initial payroll in building the pwsive complex, they claim that an annual payroll for local residents amounting to some $25- million would be derived from the industrial estate. Council has not yet commented on the project, other than deciding at Monday's meeting to 'table' the proposal 'for future study'. Arrows point to boundaries of proposed Industrial site! WILL CARRY ON: IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY ALDERGROVE - A financial statement showing how much has Councilors nof too happy' ALDERGROVE - More public hearings will be held in this community, Langley district councilors decided Monday morning. Aid. Elford Nundal said a lot of people could not attend public hearings held in Murrayville during daytime hours, and suggested it would be a good idea to shift the time and place to Aldergrove in the evenings. At least in matters concerning future planning of this town. Aid. Jim Lee said he was "not too happy the way Aldergrove is developing," to which Aid. Jock Lindsay replied that "that is what they (Aldergrove residents) wanted." The two councilors were referring to the town plan presented at local hearings last fall. "Not exactly," said Aid. Bill Blair. Possibly there was too Association against residences COUNTY UNE — The North County Line Residents Association are opposed to a proposed housing development in connection with a golf course qn 305 acres of land here, a spokesman for th group told The Star this week. The executive committee of the association met last week at the home of Garnet Jenkins and went on record as opposing the 60 unit housing development. "We are not, however, opposed to the golf course," Jenkins told The Star. much AHOP (Assisted Home Ownership Plan) development taking place in this community, he meant. Lindsay said he was not too happy with the fact that a greenbelt buffer zone, fronting developments along Fraser Highway and landscaped by the subdivides, would be turned over to the municipality for upkeep in the end. The cost of maintenance here would be very high, he said. Fellow councilors pointed out that the district would be getting the'land, all nicely landscaped, for nothing. But the municipality would have to mow the grass, Lindsay said. "1 would like to point out that this parkstrip was thoroughly discussed with council at the time of the presentation of the Aldergrove town plan," said municipal planner Ken Major, the brain behind the plan. Council gave approval to three land use contracts. One for 15 townhouse units to be built by Michel Estates near 32 Avenue, and two for Aldergrove Construction's 23-unit and 15-unit developments on Fraser Highway southeast of Speedie's Corner. Public hearings in connection with these three land use contracts will be "sufficiently advertised" and held in Aldergrove during evening hours, council- men decided. been collected in impost fees for the past two years up to March 31 this year, and how the money has been spent was released by Aid, Art Brooks to the Aldergrove Improvement Association last week. Commenting further on the figures, Dick Hislop, secretary of the association, says that the AIA intends to pursue the matter of municipal finances further. "On the subject of curbs and sidewalks we ask that council show us the means by which other municipalities are able to upgrade subdivisions by way of cost sharing formulas without excessive strain on Ithe .taxpayer," Hislop told The Star yesterday. "It has come to our attention that the city of Langley, by way of petition the majority vote is able to come up with street widening and curbs and gutters at a cost of $2 per frontage foot over a five-year pferiod." Hislop said the Improvement association was happy that council had complied with their request for an up-to-date financial statement concerning the impost, fees. Now they would also like to know what plans the township fathers have for spending the large sums of impost fee monies not yet collected. And the association would also ask council for a breakdown of property, taxation and works expenditures as pertaining to the Aldergrove area. . But "... in the meantime,' getting back to the eyesores of Aldergrove," Hislop said, "we are still inclined to believe there are enforcement bylaws made to clean up unsightly places" like, the one shown on the photograph." "We encourage people to complain to the municipality about places next to them that are unsightly," Hislop said. "And if Neglect typifies many te nement buildings in town. Dick Hislop photo Impbstfee figures released ALDERGROVE - As the result of a barrage of inquiries from this town as to the way impost fees are being spent, Langley district council this week, released a balance sheet showing revenue Other development areas in the township compare as follows: Brookswood builders have paid in a total of $416,950, of which $170,000 has been spent to date on road upgrading in that com- "Yes, there is nothing nicer they don't want to get directly: than to say later on: 'We gave you involved, they can write us at Box a chance' (for public input)," 56, and we will approach the Blair said. ,' municipality." and expenditures- for the two munity.

' Qfthis$-H-million only $41,806 has not yet been spent by the township. The remainder has been spent as follows: $216,171 for drainage along Jackman Road, $267,323 to upgrading of 28 Avenue and Jackman Road, $100,000 for two new water wells, and another $100,000 for the sewage disposal system development. With the number of developments still on the drawing board, substantial amounts are still to come from Aldergrove builders, Cruikshank said. villc $3,250. The industrial centre in northwest Langley (area E) has contributed a total of $1,738,044, of which $1,669,022 has been spent there on roads, water, sewer and drainage. Impost fees are used by municipal council in offsitc developments in connection with new subdivisions. In addition to these fees, first introduced in 1975, councils charge developers for other services to insure the completion of servicing of new residential, commercial and industrial subdivisions, legal fees and landscaping. On a 100-home residential development for instance, the fees total up to about $!-million. mmm mm THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1977 Health department Wenman hits slammed by councilmen lack of policy liberals for statements MURRAYVILLE — The public health department is "far better than the B.C. Land Commission in stopping all development in this area," a township councilman said Monday morning. Aid. Bill Blair made the comment after council heard a report from health and welfare committee chairman, Aid. Art Brooks, that a Langley resident had been refused a septic tank permit for her five-acre residential lot and consequently could not obtain a building permit. The reason, said Brooks, being that Ev'ryone should fiddle a liddle BROOKSWOOD — The Langley civic centre was Ihe setting for the B.C. West Coast Fiddlers jamboree on Thursday, April 14.

The case developed after CP refused to pay business taxes to the city claiming exempt status because of the company being a non-resident of that community. Interesting, said Aid. Bill Blair. The , provincial government in Victoria has used the same argument put forth by CPR; only the government has always had its case upheld by the courts. Blair suggested that perhaps the CPR vs. New Westminster comi ruling could consitutc a turning point. he Steering Column byKenHuber Oil or grease on engine will attract dirt and grime, and can promote overheating problems.

Robert, who is from Aldergrove has been taking fiddle and classical instruction and is a member of the Delta Youth Orchestra. He has been a consist- ant entertainer at the jamborees and is doing a good job of fiddling. Knott is from Whalley and has been associated with country music all his life, his dad being an old time Prairie fiddler. He played in various old time orchestras in past years and one of his philosophies in life is that — "everyone should fiddle a liddle." An invitation is out to all fiddlers and listeners to attend the next jamboree at the civic centre on Thursday, May 12, and have a stomping good time. the land in question did not have a minimum of 18 inches of undistrubed topsoil as required by the health inspector's department. Brooks said the requirement could not even be satisfied if the owner trucked in new topsoil to the proposed drainage field area. A third alderman, Stan Fraser, agreed with Blair. Fraser, a plumber, said that. "The health, department can't do anything but read the book." Fraser said that with a little more felxibility things could be worked out to everyone's satisfaction. Nobody should tell him, he sai, that an engineer couldn't work out plans for a septic disposal system which could not work satisfactorily on any five- acre lot. Brooks said part of the problem was that the owner could not afford to engage an engineer. "Any septic tank installer'will design you a system and give you a contract price," said Mayor George Driediger. Aid. Elford Nundal had a piece of advice for would be homeowners in rural areas. "It is better to investigate all facets before you buy a piece of land," he said. "Better than to' buy cheap and then later on find that you have a lot of problems," , Aid. Jock Linsday, however, said that the biggest problem in cases of this nature was that "people don't know enough to ask." A lot of people, he said, move to a rural district like Langley and do not know a septic tank from a hole in the ground. The land owner who was refused a permit said that she had bought because she like the property, and new construction on neighboring land indicated to her that there would be no problems barring her from putting up a new home as well, Robert Crozier...

CFVR 850 ABBOTSFORD OTTAWA — Romeo LeBlanc, the minister of the environment, in a written statement to the fisheries and forestry committee said "Canada does not have a national forest policy". In response Bob Weman, M.P. (Fraser Valley West) said, "after almost 10 years' in power, this government is proving to bc a government of no policy by admission; At the last meeting with this same minister 1 asked would, he tell us, as the new minister, what his policy, his philosophy was, and he said - We have no environment policy. I asked him in the House of Commons: "What is your policy on water? Answer - We have no water policy. "Tonight we have a new revelation • no forestry policy!" "At this.meeting the minister should have brought forward some solutions; not an admission of indifference", Wenman said. "The Canadian forest industry supports 300,000 jobs directly and an estimated 700,000 indirectly. The federal government who has the power to revitalize the industry has chosen not to do so." During the committee meeting Wenman and his Conservative colleagues put forth several suggestions they said would help create more forest industry employment - close the gap between American and Canadian export tariffs on lumber products which are presently biased in favor of U.S. interests, obtain similar rail transport conditions for the Canadian industry as its U.S. counterpart receives, and incentives for replacement of old, inefficient capital equipment. "Firm government initiatives from a broad range of federal jurisdictions will aid in the rcvitalization of the forest industry," Wenman said. "Not an admission that the environment minister has no policy. Responses to the problems ■ declining competitive condition, short falls in forest replacement, lack of national statistics, and impact of economic developments on the forests -.are essential todav."

Langley trustee Peter Fassbender told the association's annual general meeting Sunday that his board, which announced last month it was quitting the BCSTA, changed its mind because it wanted to help bring about much-needed direction in the organization. "While we had recognized that this organization provides a great i deal of service, we felt a lack of direction from this organization in general education issues," he said, "Langley school board met this weekend and decided not to withdraw its membership from the BCSTA because we felt it necessary to belong, to this association as its valuable to every one of us to know where we're going in education." Fassbender said Langley felt discouraged when the association lost its vigor but decided it would not be right to withdraw. A "ionth ago, the Langley board said it was withdrawing because the cost of membership is too high and that, at $20,000 a year, trustees weren't satisfied athat the value they put into the BCSTA was being returned. Langley also put forward a motion that BCSTA establish a five-trustee task forcce to recommend ways in which the associations can set specific goals and directions on educational issues in B.C. The motion was tabled. In other business, the BCSTA Sunday defeated a motion suggesting that the association urge education minister Pat McGeer to implement standardized tests in public schools.

Old machine will do, says alderman MURRAYVILLE - "What the hell do they do with their tools over there (in the public works shop)?" a farmer-alderman asked in council Monday morning. Ald.; Bill Blair said the works shop tilid the finest set of tools in Langley, and asked why the purchase of a new 40 hp tractor was requested for the parks and recreation department when they had a tractor sitting in the shop that could be overhauled. Blair .said there had been plenty;-61time during the winter for the shop to prepare the tractor for the 1977 spring and summer season.,He added that a 40 hp tracto? cost nearly as much as a 70 hp machine and quoted the price to be in the neighborhood of $9.000*.!» Councilors decided to ask the works foreman what the cost 'of reconditioning the old machine would bey'and why it had not already been done. A store for pet lovers - The Pet Centre An affiliate to Aldergrove Kennels is now open right in the core of Aldergrove, it is Aldergrove Pet Centre and they are located right next to the Royal Bank on Jackman Road across from Texaco. The Pet Centre sells everything for your pet, that being a dog, cat, hamster, gerbil or aquarium fish. The store is managed by Roy Moore, son of Alex Moore, owner of Aldergrove Kennels. Roy has had his training for many years working after school with his father at the kennels, and after graduation from Columiba College, where he took Business Administration, he was employed with Tisol, one of the largest Pet stores in Burnaby, for one and a half years. Aldergrove Pet Centre handles a large variety in feed, canned as well as dry feed, dog leads, flea collars, everything in dog care from medicine to pooper- scoopcrs. They also carry a full line of aquarium needs from pumps, filters, heaters to the aquarium itself. And if it is grooming your dog needs, leave him with Roy while you do your shopping in Aldergrove and while you are gone the professional groomer from the kennel will get him ready for the show. Much handier than driving way out in the country road with him. Grooming and cutting of all breeds will bc done. Presently there is a part of the store set aside for grooming, but eventually the grooming will be done in an adjoining building, but some work has to bc done to that part yet. Aldergrove Pel Centre also offers bulk discount on dog and cat food, after the purchase of 200 pounds a discount will be given. Also available is frozen ground beef for dog food, liver nd bones as well as horsemcat. An additional service is when you go away and can't take your pet with you and wish to leave him with Aldergrove Kennels, the pet-can be dropped off right here' in town with Roy, if that is more convenient then-driving hime out' to the Kennel on 56th Avenue. Be sure to drop in and see Roy, he is running a great store for you pet lovers, and if it is advise in your pooch's diet you need he can help you out with that too. Oh yes. we just about forgot, the wild birds, something for them as well, wild bird seeds and feeders too. We wish the Moore family luck with their new venture, and hope that Aldergrove residents take full advantage of this handy service. COUNCILORS WILL C0NTR01 DOGS MURRAYVILLE — Councilors here decided Monday morning that dog control will remain a municipal function rather than becoming a responsibility of the regional district, as far as they are concerned. Because of different dog control bylaws in the various district that make up the Central Fraser Valley regional district, it would become too confusing to make dog control a regional responsibility, they felt. Langley, Matsqui and Abbotsford districts have individual contracts with pound keeper Tom McMath on Haverman Road in Matsqui. Pig droppings not only source of smell MURRAYVILLE — The fresh, invigorating country smells of manure "have never made anyone sick," an alderman said MoHday morning. Aid. Elford Nundal, a veterinarian, , said that nowhere in medical .'literature has he been able to.fipd verification to the contrary. Pig manure might offend the nostrils, but it's good for you. Councilors were once more discussing an application from Frank, Hannesschlager, who wants to start a piggery on agricultural land near the international boundary. In order, to establish his hog farm, however, Hannesschlager has to appeal to council to bend one of,its.bylaws slightly. His barn will be a few feet closer to one of his neightbors than the bylaw allows. His neighbor, however, doesn't mind. The matter should be settled. you'd think. Not so. Once you start tangling with bureaucracy there seems to be no end to the loopholes and pitfalls. Since Hanncsschlager's farm is not 100 percent according to the good book, . everyone in the neighborhood will be asked if he minds. Except for the closest neighbor, who happens to be an American (on U.S. soil, that is). Manure smells do not transcend international boundaries. Two other neighbors, however, will bc asked if they mind that Hanncsschlager's barn will be slightly closer to the third Canadian neighbor's place, even if he doesn't. And although Aid. Bill Blair says of the Hannesschlager farm that "that land's gotta be used for agricultural purposes" and reminds you that It Is in the agricultural land reserve and therefore only can be used as such,... that's the way it is.

W Royal Bank Texaco Fraser Highway J3 c a E B.C. Tel Alder Inn I Comment The Aldergrove Star WEDNESDAY. MAY 4, 1977 A vacation to remember? BYPATZIMMER WHY IS IT OTHER FAMILIES CAN TAKE summer vacations and have FUN? We take summer vacations and have fights. Other families bring home sea shells, movie pictures and happy memories. We bring home poison ivy, unused film and thoughts of suicide. Our car isn't three blocks from home and no one is speaking. A few years ago we convinced friends to come with us, not only to share in the fun, sea and sun, but to help hold a marriage and family intact. Normally, it would take only a few hours to reach our little hideaway, but on that particular day, seven hours after departure we were still limping along the highway. It seems our car refused to run more than 50 feet at any one time without collapsing and gasping for water. I must say, the people of the countryside were friendly and obliging but I felt a bit of a fool running over Cod's green acres with my Tupperware container. Why do people build houses 700 feet up the side of a mountain? By the time I reached the car, having beaten off dogs climbed over (or under) fences, outrunning an angry cow, fallen in mole pits and tripping over boulders hidden by nature's foliage, I was lucky to have two tablespoons of water left in the pitcher. "Can't I have just one little sip?" I pleaded as I lay bruised and bleeding on the highway.' 'You better get a bigger bucket," he said, pouring the last drop into the radiator. "My navel is bleeding," I said through parched lips. "Will you stop lying around goofing off," he said full of sympathy. "You'll have to push the next couple of miles, I'll steer". "Why don't I steer and you push," Ichallenged. "You know I don't like you driving on the highway, it's dangerous," he said. Thank heaven the road into town was downhill. WE WOKE TO THE SOUND OF PELTING RAIN, but this little shower wasn't going to deter us from having fun. Surely, four adults and five kids could find lots of things to do until this little cloudburst let up. The shower lasted five days, but we had fun. We played monopoly, drank cocoa and hot toddys, popped corn and drank hot toddys, did jigsaw and crossword .puzzles and drank hot toddys. The second day wasn't as much fun. The kids were getting on each other's nerves and the men were running out of booze. They decided this would be a good time to take a walk and see if there was anyone else up here having fun. They also thought it a good idea to get the lay of . the land without the women and gallantly allowed us the pleasure of staying in a cozy little cabin with all the kids. I can still hear their laughter and see the glow on their happy faces as they skipped down the road in that awful storm. The day our vacation ended, the sun broke through and turned our hovel into a haven. The sea and sand glistened in the sunlight and everyone started speaking to each other again. We did manage to take a few pictures but had to date them right away. With rain boots, slickers and umbrellas in tow, the kids were confusing the summer pictures with those taken on a long weekend in November. Pinion Mayor knew of land deal ByROSSOBERLYN MATSQUI - Mayor Harry De- Jong said at a public inquiry Monday that lie was told shortly after an 18-aere piece of property was sold in 1974 that municipal employees were involved in the land deal. But Matsqui district council did noi pursue the matter until a year later, DeJong told inquiry commissioner Alfred Hood during the opening session of the investigation. The provincial inquiry, requested by the District of Matsqui, is investigating alleged conflict of interest in a land deal involving municipal treasurer Bruce Mclntyrc and public works foreman David Laxton. The 18-acre property adjacent to Matsqui prison was purchased in 1974 by M.S.A. Development Ltd., a company owned by Mclntyrc and Laxlon, for SI 70-000 and sold a year ago for $430,000. DeJong told the inquiry that the employees purchased the land two days before council voted approval of sewers for the area, raising property values. "I did not know about the involvement of municipal employees until the bylaw had been passed for extension of the sewer area." he said. DeJong, an alderman at the time, said a fellow alderman told him "shortly after the sale" that municipal employees were involved in the purchase. In response to questions by Vancouver lawyer Harry McLaughlin, couscl for the employees, DeJong said thai at the time, he did not raise the matter at council and made no inquiries to find out who on the municipal payroll was involved in the land sale. But he looked into the matter aftc assuming the office of mayor last year, DeJong said. An investigation by a standing committee of council, with DeJong as chairman, concluded that there was no conflict of interest. "I could see no direct conflict because the date of the final purchase was about two days before passage of the bylaw,'* he told the inquiry. Recent newspaper publicity on the matter prompted council to ask the provincial government for an investigation, DeJong said. "To clear the employees as well as the municipality of any guilt, we thought an inquiry necessary to clear the air." The mayor said "unwritten policy" at the time required senior staff members involved in land deals to report them to council, but could not recall specific instances where council had dealt with the policy or discussed it with Mclntyrc oi Laxton. "I would like to point out there always has been an understanding between council and senior employees that if they were involved (in land transactions), they would declare so to council," he said. Council passed a bylaw in 1975 requiring public disclosure of land deals by senior employees, DeJong said. Municipal clerk Brian Strong told the inquiry that before adoption of the disclosure act, the policy on municipal employees speculating in land was discussed, but "I'm just not sure whether there had been anything definite stated on this." Hood adjourned the inquiry for the day after I Vi hours, requesting that municipal staff prepare a chronology of the zoning, ownership and servicing history of the 18-acre land parcel for today's session. NO FRESH WATER EXPORT POLICY By BOB WENMAN, MP Jack Horner's extended period of indecision has been the focus of much political speculation and debate the past few weeks. Finally, on April 21, he took the long walk across the floor of the house • Jack is a Liberal! Mr. Horner was given the opportunity to play a major part in the policy direction of the P.C. party and he has played a most active role across Canada during his 19 years in the house. Consequently, it is with regret that 1 witness his departure from the Progressive Conservative par- l.v. However, I would reaffirm my view that the party is bigger than any one member and that no member can be given a special guarantee to nomination. Jack Horner's long term goats could have' been fulfilled within his former party; now he will have to compromise his principles and he risks exclusion of those principles from future parliaments. The voice of Jack Horner (Liberal) will nol bc the same as Jack Horner (Progressive Conservative). * * * Since my first days in parliament I have been trying to obtain a statement from the government on their fresh water export policy.

Presently the depl. of Indian affairs and northern development administer our national parks system. However, using the word 'administer' is giving them much more credit than they deserve. The purpose of the park system is to set aside and 'maintain' tracts of land, forever, as close as possible to their natural state in order that everybody may enjoy them. Yet there is a definite discrepancy between policy and practise. Twice since 1972. Parks Canada lias dealt with corporations intent on erecting multi- million dollar resort complexes in Banff. However, public opposition has beaten back both attempts. The natural magnificence of our world famous parks is subject lo human erosion under the bureaucratic indifference of the Indian affairs and northern development department. Wendy Pysar's suggestion would bring the park system under the guardianship of a bureaucracy which at least has a mandate to protect the environment. * * * ALL IN THE HOUSE Mr. Joe Clark - Mr. Speaker, it has taken the acting prime minister three days to lean across the aisle to ask the minister of finance what they are going to do about our earlier request for a reference. How long does he expect it to take to read this report, make a response to the House of Commons and make a reference to a standing committee? Springtime, she is real good fer thinkin'.

Like I said. 1 wud shur as hell like to sec the Committee on Metricks try to convert that one! Springtime, she is shur good fcr thinkin'. My latest attempt was in early April of this year. The secretary of state for external affairs, the Honourable Don Jamieson didn't have an answer then and he didn't have one when my colleague. Bob Brisco, M.P. (Koot- enay West) repeated the question three weeks later. To explain further an absurd situation that is typical of this government. 1 asked (Oct. 18, 1974) the then minister of the environment, the Honourable Jeanne SaUve. whether or not she was in favor of fresh water exports. She said "no"; yet it has been learned that B.C. Hydro is. negotiating the sale of Mica Reservoir water to a U.S. power company. Apparently from a firm negative position, the government has wavered toward the limbo of not knowing of what it is in favor or not in favor of. The water export question is the symptom of a general lack of direction afflicting the environment department. Earlier this year, in committee, 1 asked the minister, the Honourable Romeo LeBlanc whether he had any policy goals. He did not, and when I pressed him for the tabling of a statement; Mr. LeBlanc said "In the near future, but I do not know how near the future would be". The utterance of such an off-hand remark indicates that Mr. LeBlanc does nol believe his department's civil servants need a goal to work toward; that morale and, therefore, efficiency would rise with a philosophic goal. Fresh water is a renewable resource which has a dollar value to Canadians and Americans. Our neighbors to the south have shown great interest in our reserves of it; yet our own federal government, which has responsibility for its export, cannot even take the time to formulate some general policy goals on the issue. This non-action of the Trudeau administration is typical of their response to B.C. concerns and must bc altered if British Columbia's citizens are to enjoy the realization of their province's full potential, * * * In a recenl letter to me, Mrs. Wendy Pysar. suggested that Letters to the Editor Life without advertising Non-sectarian schools Editor, The Star, Sir, When you come back, as 1 have, to Canada from that other world where there is no advertisement, no unemployment, no inflation, you begin to wonder if we have not become completely insane and not just confused, as I used to believe. Has this fear of socialsim made us accept a way of life which is destroying us? Are we building a world where advertising is not only the biggest industry but is used to foster in us, greed, unrest, indecision, completely artificial needs. Do we need endless different brands of soap cleaners, oven cleaners, lipsticks, margarine, etc? Obviously someone or some force has decided the only way to live is to have endless choice. Not only cars and trucks but hundreds, if not thousands of choices between the brands. Carpets sold everywhere. Each drugstore is a regular department store. The milk producers scream at us to drink more milk; the poultry producers to eat more chickens; the !;eef man to eat more meat, and back of them all stands the ad man happily rubbing his hands together. Smoke this cigarette, smoke that cigarette. They will let you die a horrible death, at least a good many of us, of cancer or the more horrible Bergcr's disease. So we are told on the package, but here they are for you to enjoy. This society apparently cannot function without telling people what to do. Advertisements bring us the news. It makes us aware of new products, lets us discover new needs every day. It is so much a part of our life today that no one is even aware what a wonderful released life it could be without it. I do wonder if anyone will print this. Ebe Koeppen (Ed. note: Without advertising you would not have this soapbox platform, and no weekly paper. But perhaps there would be no need for this either in Mr. Koeppcn's' Utopia). Editor, The Star, Sir, John Young's diatribe against funding of independent schools, which appeared in your paper recently, obviously calls for a reply. A person's personal opinion caitand must be respected but his column was one-sided and short oh fact. Opponents of indendent schools like to leave the impression that the issue was settled once for all with the first Public School Act of 187?. but that isn't true. The issue of funding independent schools was not at stake either just before confederation or just after confederation. What was decided at that time was that the common schools or public schools should not be dominated by a state church, or any church, but Education - 'conform or lose out'....

Postage paid in Aldergrove, B.C. Editor. The Star, Sir, I do not follow John Young's reasoning 'on education' and Bill 3.1 (April 20). Literacy in our land is a privilege, a right and a duty. The government has accepted, long since, the responsibility of educating its citizens. Now John Young, the former principal from Powell River, argues to continue to withhold the government's share from those who choose not to' fit into the pubfic school system. This amounts to a form of cocrsion — conform or lose out. Even under Bill 33 it will still cost the government less to educate any child, because proposed aid will never equal the usual public school system per capita cost. If people are willing to pay extra for an added value or dimension, be it social or spiritual, then all power to them. Is it justice to therefore withhold the price of basic education on that account? No. it is flagrantly unfair. Mr. Young tried to represent that private pupils are usually affluent. Many are of course. But to say so generally is simply not true. The great majority arc from average homes, and are penalized severely, because they insist on avlucs the public school system cannot supply. His stated 'principle', i.e.; "... Iho public has a right <f good public schools..." is in no way endangered by Bill 33. In fact, it doesn't even apply to this argu ment. If the public school sytcm were to accept 23,000 erstwhile private pupils next year, would that cure the deficiencies Mr. Young mentions? Qualified private schools provide relief to and a reasonable alternative to the impersonal, overwhelming public system, and need not be smothered because said public system is afraid of comparison. Give us more aid, we will educate more citizens, and you will have more left over for your 'meaningful programs'. Ernest Embleton, 17718-57 Ave*.

The need at that time was to provide education for children throughout all inhabited areas of British Columbia. The decision made then was that if the government were to provide that service, it should bc a non- sectarian service, and a service free of charge. Whether or not to fund existing private or independent schools at that time was not the subject of debate, nor did the independent schools at that time apply, for funding. It was known that the province was in bad economic straits, lt could barely afford to pay for the common schools that were established. In fact, a considerable number of them were forced to close because of lack of funding, in the early stages of the B.C. public school system. John Young says, "there was no evidence then, nor is there any now, that children educated in Catholic schools, or Anglican schools or Jewish schools were made any more moral, or made into better citizens than children educated in public schools". And Young is exactly right - it very much depends on one's point of view. That is why the government should not make a value decision to fund only one system and not the others. A government does not have a right to make that decision, not in a democracy, that is. It is not the government's task to assimilate people to one homogeneously-acting citizenry. John Young's statement that children of the poor and deprived arc not enrolled in independent schools is considerably short of the truth; in fact, many children of unemployed and welfare families are enrolled in independent schools throughout British Columbia. Private schools such as Crofton House enroll a total of just over 3.000 students. About 10 percent of these have their costs covered by scholarships and another 10 percent of them are foreign students (not thousands of them as John Young claims). Thus, schools like Crofton House, even if they received the same amount per student as do the public schools, would receive a total of $4'/. million, not S25-S30 million as John Young claims. John Young conveniently ignores the fact that the government has made it very clear that only partial funding would be made available to independent schools for services that meet the intent and requirement of compulsory education laws. Thus, where the rich~"b"enefit only partially in independent schools, in the public system the education of the children of the rich is completely funded by the public. For the information of j your readers, there are a total of 23,000 children enrolled in independent schools, most of whom come from middle income and lower income families. They are students whose parents are mostly not professionals, but mostly tradesmen, office workers, clerks, union members and. yes. teachers. With respect to foreign students. John Young is wrong again. Perhaps there arc hundreds of foreign students, but definitely not thousands of foreign students in B.C. independent schools. He also conveniently neglects to mention that they arc specifically excluded from recieving any benefit by the proposed new- legislation. We agree with John Young that many taxpayers do not make use of public services they pay for. But his conclusion is not fair. Other public services are not compulsory. Education for certain specific age levels is compulsory and a substitue must bc provided if the public service is not used. When Young speaks, with the usual pious platitudes of democratic principes and the right of the public, he forgets completely that independent school supporters also belong to the public. He also ignores that one of the underlying democratic principles is respect for minority rights, especially where they do! not infringe on the rights of the majority. John Young seems to prefer a dictatorship of the majority. The defenders of one monolithic public school system only, speak with great convicition and sincerity about integration and unity. In practice, however, it usually works out to assimilation and uniformity. It is of very little comfort to ethnic, linguistic, religious and other minorities to know that they were being "integrated" while in fact they lost their identity completely. We might do well to ask our native Indians about what comfort it is to them. Perhaps next time when writing about independent schools John Young might be more respectful of the facts and less preoccupied with rhetoric. | Gerry Ensin'g Executive Director Federation of Independent School Association Vancouver MM* ■M mm mmm THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1177 Close call for child ... and a neighbor's grief Elks are good flapjack flop- pars.

I answer with 'Hello' and a frantic voice of a young boy tells me to come quick. My son Jason has been savagely attacked by a German Shepherd. A harried call to my mother to drive me to our neighbors place to pick my son up for a fast run fo the hospital. Arriving at the neighbors place the first thing I sec is the German Shepherd tied up in his dog house. The second thing I sec is pools of blood and a dark crimson trail leading through the carport into the house. As I approach the doorway I can hear my son crying in pain. Stepping into the house I find my Jason sitting on the bottom step leading to the upstairs of the house and our neighbor has towels around Ja- sons head trying to stop the blood pulsing from the four gaping wounds at the back of his head. My neighbor is very distraught and when she sees me she apologizes again and again. She explains to me, she doesn't know how it happened. Her little girl had run into the house to cry thai their dog was biting Jason and that was when they heard his screams.

For donations, which will be gratefully received, contact 856- 5639. Branch 71 is the local organization of the Aldergrove and district citizens, and as this group is devoted solely to the betterment and social entertainment of the seniors, an invitation is extended to all persons interested to participate. The yearly membership fee is only $2. minutes after and immediately starts talking to Jason to attempt (o calm him down. After filling out forms at the information desk 1 join Jason in the surgery where the doctor is washing out the slashes with a soapy yellow antiseptic. It is then that the shock starts to wear off and I feel my heart skip a few beats. I hold my son's hands all through the freezing process with his screams ringing in my ears, talking soothingly to Jason and telling him it soon will be over. It's really difficult to listen to a child's screams of pain, especially when it is your own child there being stitched up by a good doctor, swift, and efficient with two helpful nurses. Thank goodness I'm not the squeamish type and was able to stay with him throughout and able to keep on giving him reassurances. It's a horrible experience to see you son's scalp laid open to the bone and to see the gleaming while skull underneath. The one side of his scalp is literally ripped open with a small artery cut sputing out blood with every beat of his heart. The doctor quickly stops the flow of blood and proceeds to stitch him up. Jason's quiet whimpering voice coming from beneath the green surgical sheets. He can't understand why his head has to bc covered and the doctor patiently explains that it is to keep the rest of his hair out of the wounds. After the major part of the stitching is done the doctor has to rush upslairs to deliver a baby boy and then come back down to finish the 46 stitches required to close Jason's wounds. The doctor prescribes a tetanus shot and drugs to keep any possible infection away. I look at (he clock, it has been two hours since the attack on my son. This night 1 let him sleep with me so thai I can bc near if he has a bad night. Jason tosses and turns with pain all night cause he can't find a comfortable way to lay his sore head. This morning I get a call from our neighbor to tell me they have had the German Shepherd destroyed. -<"r-;;^?SmW&&ftM& Steady progress Is made as the new changerooms at the tears are spending busy even- sat the brick w»H» ft up. the Aldergrove Lions work on Aldergrove Park. Lion volun- ings on the job. This week will Lions have money left for additional improvements ALDERGROVE — The local Lions club is a group of very hard working community people. Al the present time they are building, entirely through volunteer labor donated by tradesmen in their membership, a much needed changeroom facility in the local community park. They had a minor set-back about 10 days ago when an unknown group of destructive souls went about kicking down the forms for the foundation which the Lions had just completed. This, however, was nothing dial four of their members couldn't repair within the time- span of another freely donated Sunday morning and afternoon. This sort of thing, which would anger most people and cost the public $300 to $400 if it weren't for the fact that il is all done by the Lions free and gratis, they take in stride. Now they have a guard watching the site around the clock to prevent a recurrence. But the Lions are also thrifty spenders. It appears that they now have money left over in the budget originally prepared for .the building of the changerooms. This will be put to use for further improvements at the park, and they have asked council's permission to use it on a permanent concession stand next to the 1.500 square foot concrete block structure they arc now in the process of erecting. A suggestion has also been made that a park caretaker's residence be built as a second storey addition to this building. The Lions arc contributing their free labor and $10,000 to the project. The municipality of Lang- Icy is kicking i» another $28,000 towards this public facility and a similar project being: undertaken in the Fort Langley community park bv Lions club members from that village.

K.NEILL FOSTER The invasion of Zaire by a band of African mercenaries probably led or at least influenced by Cubans has been a cause for world-wide concern. And for me personally, a subject of prayerful concern. The reason: We've been to Zaire twice, once when fighting was going on in Angola and Cabinda. Sometimes our public meetings were held with the Zairian Army close by. President Mobutu is not universally liked. There is murmuring Bmong some because of his dictorial methods. But he has given Zaire conhcrence, national identity and self-respect. Moreover. I soon observed. Christianity thrives under his leadership. Because I sense the invasion of Zaire threatens religious liberty and the great spiritual harvest being gathered there. I am concerned. Does prayerful concern influence events, even far-away happening!) in other lands? Certainly prayer shapes history. One can believe nothing else if he takes the Scriptures seriously. Africa, torn and maniupulated by white men for so long, will suffer and bleed some more. But in God's plan,' Christ's living Church will include millions1 of blacks. ■-:-—KM>*gr. " » -T'T" Anything or anybody that thre* atens the march of Christ's Church deserves to be prayed against. Care to join us?

Having just finished unpacking his home furnishings after moving his headquarters from Quebec, to take up residence in Victoria, his acceptance of our invitation was greatly appreciated by some 35 new and prospective members in this great order, whose main project, among many others, is Aid to the Mentally Retarded Citizens. His talk emphasized the great work that has been done over the whole American continent by the United Commerical Travelers, both in the amount of money and thousands of man hours put in by the members and The Ladies Auxiliaries, that it almost boggles the mind. The enthusiasm with which his discourse was received by those in attendance, will certainly be taken to heart, and the goal of 50 New Members in the Fraser Valley, will surely be reached that much sooner and our Council can receive their Charter and start in The Valley this great work that is going on all over the continent with 250,000 members we will stand up and be counted, helping those less fortunate than ourselves.

LANGLEY — Langley recreation commission which for many years has coordinated sports and relational facilities in the two Langleys. will become defunct on May 15. Langley city council agreed Monday. The city will now review recreation programs and operate those that can be handled bv its own staff. Langley township council had served notice to the city earlier this year that it wished to sever the recreational link between the two bodies and retain the commission under its own jurisdiction. Mayor Bob Duckworth called the split "ridiculous." He said "We're going 10 steps backwards instead of two forward. It will be a detriment to both city and township people." Aid. Aubrey Searle admonished council for its decision. He said the 14 members of the two councils should "get together and set up a recreational program and do everything in our power to make the parks and recreation a joint funding and unified action." However, veteran Aid. Reg Easingwood replied that "we've 'lived without it before, let's do it again. Let's scrap the commission." The rest of council concurred, acknowledging that a more reasonable approach might arise at the year's end. Council also agreed that an ad hoc committee set up last year to study amaster recreation plan and make recommendations to the commission, should be held in abeyance. "It is an exercise in futility to have meetings until we can agree on recommendations for the Langleys, including the school district," Duckworth said. Council did not heed a request by Aid. Mike Omelaniec, chairman of the city's parks commission, that council reconsider its decision.

Members are active in small chapter groups and each chapter adapts the plans for social, civic, service, and cultural activities to fit the interests of its members. There are 3 chapters in the Langley area. One has the Exemplar Degree and two have the Ritual of Jewels Degree. Internationally the chapters have created three special funds; the International Loan Fund through which members help one another; the Ontcrnational Endowment Fund, which has donated over one million dollars to Cancer Research, Cysitic Fibrosis. Homes for undcr-priviliged children, and many other causes; The Exemplar Fund, which helps to support Literacy Villages in India. The organization was founded by Walter W. Ross. The chapters in the Langley area celebrated founders day on April 27th at Newlands Golf Club. Lorraine LaPierre acted as Chairperson and other members taking part in the program were Jill Trauth, member advisor for Delta Kappa, Sydney MacPherson. president of Delta Kappa, Sheila French, president of Delta Zeta, and Helen Muzik, president of XI Betta lota and our city council Queen is Carrol Stephens with two honourary guests, Pat Berry and Hazel Addems. Awards were presented to local members and outstanding members were recognized. Carrol Stephens- presented our First Lady of the Year Certificate to Pat Berry. Following the banquet was a • candlelight ritual ceremony for the new pledges and a siler ritual given by Hazel Addems to Mary Balogh of XI Beta lota Chapter for over 30 years membership in Beta Sigma Phi.

NEILL FOSTER The invasion of Zaire by a band of African mercenaries probably led or at least influenced by Cubans has been a cause for world-wide concern. And for me personally, a subject of prayerful concern. The reason: We've been to Zaire twice, once when fighting was going on in Angola and Cabinda. Sometimes our public meetings were held with the Zairian Army close by, President Mobutu is not universally liked. There is murmuring'aniortg'some because of his dictorial methods-. But he has given Zaire conherencc. national identity and self-respect. Moreover. I soon observed, Christianity thrives under his leadership. Because I sense the invasion of Zaire threatens religious liberty and the great spiritual harvest being gathered there, I am concerned. Docs prayerful concern influence events, even far-away happenings in other lands? Certainly prayer shapes history. One can believe nothing else if he takes the Scriptures seriously. Africa, torn and maniupulated by white men for so long, will suffer and bleed some more. But in God's plan,1 Christ's living Church will include millions1 of ■blacks;- e^vrasKSP ' <* WW? Anything or anybddy that threatens the march of Christ's Church deserves to be prayed against. Care to join us?

Having just finished unpacking his home furnishings after moving his headquarters from Quebec, to take up residence in Victoria, his acceptance of our invitation was greatly appreciated by some 35 new and prospective members in this great order,' whose main project, among many others, is Aid to the Mentally Retarded Citizens. His talk emphasized the great work that has been done over the whole American continent by the United Commerical Travelers, both in the amount of money and thousands of man hours put in by the members and The Ladies Auxiliaries, that it almost boggles the mind. The enthusiasm with which his discourse was received by those in attendance, will certainly bc taken to heart, and the goal of 50 New Members in the Fraser Valley, will surely be reached that much sooner and our Council can receive their Charter and start in The Valley this great work that is going on all over the continent with 250,000 members we will stand up and be counted, helping those less fortunate than ourselves.

LANGLEY — Langley recreation commission which for many years has coordinated sports and relational facilities in the two Langleys, will become defunct on May 15, Langley city council agreed Monday. The city will now review recreation programs and operate those that can be handled bv its own staff. Langley township council had served notice to the city earlier this year that it wished to sever Ihe recreational link between the two bodies and retain the commission under its own jurisdiction. Mayor Bob Duckworth called the split "ridiculous." He said "We're going 10 steps backwards instead of two forward, lt will be a detriment to both city and township people." Aid. Aubrey Searlc admonished council for its decision. He said the 14 members of the two councils should "get together and set up a recreational program and do everything in our power to make the parks and recreation a joint funding and unified action." However, veteran Aid. Reg Easingwood replied that "we've 'lived without it before, let's do it again. Let's scrap the commission." The rest of council concurred, acknowledging that a more reasonable approach might arise at the year's end. Council also agreed that ah ad hoc committee set up last year to study amaster recreation plan and make recommendations to the commission, should be held in abeyance. "It is an exercise in futility to have meetings until we can agree on recommendations for the Langleys, including the school district," Duckworth said. Council did not heed a request by Aid. Mike Omelaniec, chairman of the city's parks commission, that council reconsider its decision. All property recovered Langley RCMP have been able to return all stolen property to the rightful owners now. The goods were recovered after RCMP broke the theft ring a few weeks ago and kept in police warehouse, but all has been claimed after identification.,. ; ii i.i*,(i. in LANGLEY — Municipal council decided Monday morning to hold 'everything in abeyance' until the problem created by nonconforming businesses along the Fraser Highway has been solved through negotiations between Langley district and the provincial highways department. Gordon Franks, of Franks Welding, was given permission to operate on a non-conforming basis until the problem is solved. Franks, who now also operates an auto body repair shop and a small used car lot on Fraser Highway near Townlipe Road, had been refused a license by the district when changing the type of his business.

For most people who build a home, it's a short step from blueprints to the building site. Usually when the house is half framed and Ihe space becomes "real", objections rise over that wall there or these windows here. Your contractor may have'a few objections as well. If he's even halfway interested in budgets and schedules • most of them won't even bc printable! Though few houses arc built without some changes along the way. they can bc costly, time consuming and frustrating - resulting in answers lo solutions Ihal are often only second best. While sonic necessary changes cither lo plans or materials can bc expected in most construction today, the size, shape and relationships of rooms must be a personal consideration. Even without a plan to build from a three dimensional study of llic kind or home you'd LIKE to have will soon have you determining jusl how you feel the house should function. Do vou want laundry facilities upstairs or downstairs? How often would you use a formal dining room'.' And where do you really want fireplaces, the children's play area. hobby and personal spaces? Wiih only the walls standing a model will quickly disclose poinls of poor planning', excessive waste of space in hallways and dead end areas, general storage areas instead of specific ones, poor traffic circulation, too many stairs ■ outside as well as inside, or merely features cither overlooked or less conveniently situated that your family or your lifestyle could enjoy. Starting with a scale ruler, balsa wood, (varying dimensions can bc found in most hobby shops) corrugated cardboard, white glue, dressmaker pins, an X-acto knife, (and a quick peep at any book on model building won't hurl) and you'll need patience, pcrsevcrcncc and a territory (such as a card table) thai is all yours - beyond the reach or temptation of little fingers. Those long winter evenings spent cut- ling and gluing your house together will be well spent. Models professionally built can cost hundreds of dollars. Finishing it inside and out will give you the advantage of seeing facsimil- ies of colors and materials together, long before you have to make the final decision on any of them. Certainly one of the biggest investments you'll make and a costly one to change, your cardboard prototype can be a passport to building truly the home of your dreams. Warps in table tops and cupboard doors, worn drawer runners and pieces which have become unglucd were chosen as last week's subjects because these types of repair arc, on the whole, more common than others. But an even more common area for repair is chairs. Before you buy an old, or antique, chair, be sure the piece is repairable, or that (with a view to using the old wood for chair repair) you pay a lower price than you would pay for a piece in good condition. Common complaints of old chairs include damaged slats, arms, stretches or finials (the decorative ornaments) or the entire absence of these pieces. Another common occurence is the shortening of chair legs. These can be built up again by adding an extension which is fixed with dowlclling into the existing leg. Be sure to examine tiie original style in case the leg originally sat on a 'bun', 'ball' or oilier type of foot. These can be found in stores specializing in reproduction parls, and in some building supply stores. But if you have pieces to use from another old chair, you arc well ahead of the game in the antiques department. Loose slrctchcrs can bc tightened by driving wedges of wood into the gap between the stretcher and ils socket, or by soaking a KOHLER'S EUROPEAN SAU3AQE piece of rag in glue, binding it around the stretcher and replacing it in the socket. If the gap is large, a plastic wood can be used to fill il, with (he stretcher in place. Replacing of slats should be done with other old slate whenever possible. If these are not available, a professional job is the answer as it's very difficult for the most pari to get the right curve in the wood. The average life of a chair scat (unless it'sof solid wood) is about 25 years to restored seats are expected with most antique chairs. Caning and rushwork can be done by the amateur but both arc crafts which take considerable time and patience and the professional (ouch is worth paying for, If cushions need replacing, it pays to seek out material in keeping with the age of the chair. I've seen values ruined by casual rcupholstery jobs which used any old material going. Another area of repair is replacing hardware such as drawer pulls, key-hold escutcheons, etc. Do research the periods and styles on these (the library will carry the material needed) as the wrong kind of hardware can spoil MATSQUI OAPO MEETING Regular monthly meeting of B.C.

Reproduction pieces arc being made on a fairly wide basis, and are stocked by most better department stores. CLASS AND CHINA if you have a treasured piece of glass and it chips at the base or rim. il can bc repaired. Tate it to an expert glass grinder who will make it look almost as good as new. If actual breakage occurs then there's little that can be done. Repairs can bc made (e.g. the Portland Vase, that magnifi- ccnl example of Roman cameo art. was smashed completely and subsequently restored so that barely a trace of the vandalism remains.) However, neither the skill required nor the cost involved arc readily accessible to most of us. Repairs to china can be done at home if they arc not too drastic. It's a simple matter to replace a chip (as long as the chip is not fragmented) with the new instant contact glues. Follow directions on the packet, and be sure to leave the piece at least 24 hours, bound if necessary to reinforce tiie repair process (Old nylons are excellent for this.) One last tip, and this concerns the repair of silver and pewter: by far the best idea with metals is to take them to a professional for repair. Some people do their own repairs with the use of a small electric iron and solder, but if you try this, bc sure to practice first on something unimportant. (Incidentally, a cake of camphor placed beside your silver will delay the tarnishing process.) Ncxl week: boxes and caddies.

MMMMI THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1977 Gardening m Kale by Don Anson If you have plenty of room in your garden and a good soil, and particularly if your own livestock such as cattle, horses, chickens or rabbits, why not grow kale? There are various sorts of kale and these invaluable vegetables are very easily managed and give you a terrific return. One ol' the beauties of growing kale is that it is available during ■ ihe winter and early spring months when other foods arc scarce. It is high in protein value and an excellent substitute for hay or silage. However, it is not just cattle food, it is excellent for human consumption. Among the varieties arc Asparagus kale, curled or Scotch kale. Cottager's kale, sprouting kale. Drumhead kale. Marrow stem kale and Thousand Head kale. For this area, I advise growing Ihe lasl mentioned which grows anything up to six or seven foot in height and provides an enormous crop of greens in winter and early spring. This is the hardiest of all the plain leaved and withstands Ihe hardest winters. Young sho- ols can be picked in the fall for human consumption. Both the leaves and the shoots are delicious. In the early spring when grass is-scarce, the whole plants can bc cut down to the ground and fed to animals. Cultivation is simple. The seed is sown thinly now in drills half an inh deep and eight inches apart. They are left like this until July when they arc finally planted out two feet apart in rows also two feet apart. They thrive in ordinary well-cultivated garden soil that has been enriched'with decayed manure or compost and well limed. When transplanting, puddle the young plants in by dipping the roots in a mixture of soil and water. Keep them well watered until established. These plants grow so huge that cultivation between the rows soon becomes impossible and weeds are not able to flourish. Question: Could you please identify this weed (sample enclosed) and tell me how to cope with It. The rockery Is Infested with them. Kay Shirley 12310 Davison St., Maple Ridge Answer: Unlucky you. This is one of the 25 varieties of horsetail, a very invasive perennial weed that is extremely difficult to eradicate. It is native to North America an its true name is equisetum. It has a tall, leafless stem that develops from a perennial root-stock. You can kill it with chemicals but you would kill everything else in your rock garden and could not use the ground again for some time. All you can do is to fork the roots out and hoc the ground frequently.

Can you give me some directions? John McCallum 630 Austin Ave., Coquitlam Answer: When seeding, place a small amount of Diazinon granules in the furrow. When thinning your carrots, take care not to leave any thinnings alongside the row. Draw earth up to the remaining carrots and firm the soil. Diazinon is a safe chemical and is effective against nearly all crawly pests. Put some in the holes when transplanting members of the cabbage family. Question: What do you advise to deal with scabby potatoes? Should we sprinkle the ground with sulphur before planting? At what rate should the sulphur be put on? We have been told to spray plants with Epsom salts to get rid of insects. Is this advisable and at what rate do you use H? P.W. Kehler 830 Columbine Road, Clearbrook. Answer: Potatoes can bc dusted with dry sulphur before sowing and a light srpinkling can bc applied to the soil. Make sure the ground has nol been recently limed and do nol use bonfire ashes on the potato plot. Over-liming is usually .the cause of scab. I have not heard of the use of Epsom salts for this purpose but it could do no harm. Any spray, even plain water, will knock off many insects, especially aphids. Mala- thion is a fairly harmless and effective spray to use but if you arc against the use of any chemicals, try boiling some rhubarb and privet leaves in winter, allow to cool and spray with a cupful of the mixture to a gallon of water.

Trophy for best portrait ol a lady was presented to Don Clowes ol Vancouver by John McKenzie of Aldergrove Pho- tohouse (left) on behalf of Tricolor Photo Lab at the Professional Photographers Association's convention held in Parksville April 17 to 20. 'Poets are the legislators ot mankind' The Secretary of State the Hon. i John Robarts addressed the delegates of the Conference of the Arts on Thursday afternoon last. Two delegates 'from the LarTgley Arts Council, Mrs. Rosette McDonald and Mrs. Betty Cox attended the annual meeting in Vancouver. This is the first time in over 30 years that The Conference of the Arts has held its annual meeting outside of the Toronto area. Two thrids of the delegates were from out of the province, representing every province in Canada as well as the Yukon and North West Territories. Thursday afternoon was a Seminar on Public Awareness of the Arts with a panel of speakers that included William T. Armstrong, managing director of Radio, English Services Division, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Edgar Cowan, Publisher and President, Saturday Night Magazine, Bernard Ostry, Secretary, General, National Museums of Canada, Andree Paradls, Publisher and Editor, Vie des Arts, Jack Shadbolt, Artist and Writer and Peter Swann, Executive Director, Samuel and Saidye Bronfman Family Foundation. The Hon. John Robarts outlined the role and responsibility of the Arts and asked for the artist support in the battle for unity for Canada. It is not the role of the ariisl to yoke himself to service of the state against his vision. Mankind imitates and the artist breaks thru with a freshness of vision, giving us an understanding of ourselves and place in time. Even if the artist is rejected it tells us something of our society and community. No longer is Art a frill but an ongoing process. Art 'is something governments must sustain by legislation. "Look back not in anger nor forward in fear but around in awareness." What is the governments role? The government does have a role in supporting artists. Artist serve national unity with artistic expression. We know ourselves by sharing experiences of diverse and common bonds. We take pride in the excellence of the artist whatever the discipline. This binds us together in mutual comprehension. There has been an explosion of creativity a truly Revolution of Arts. Now it is time to consolidate and the role of the Canadian Conference of the Arts is to develop strategy for years to come. The Arts can support the government in two ways. 1. Communicate and coordinate views of the cultural community. a. Position of the artists in relations to tax position, unemployment. b. Encourage private sector in funding. c. Immigration, in relation to Arts. d. Centralization of Arts activity? e. Expand amateur activity. f. Distribution. g. Areas of special concern - understanding of the economics of community. 2. The Arts have a role of catalyst within public arena. Government cannot support what they don't know about. With the announcement of the cut in funds re Canada Council, 40,000 letters were received. Keep in touch with your Member of Parliament • not one question has been heard in the House on Arts since Mr. Robarts became Sec. of State. In concluding his address the Secretary of State quoted: A legislator questioned Franklin D. Roosvelt when a delegation came to him. "You are giving into pressure". Replied Roosvelt "It is my business to give in to pressure." People Careers Apply Now!

Soccer pitch to replace tennis court? MILNER — The residents of this small communi'ty north of Langley city arc again asking township council for a public tennis court. Their request was put off for one year when council instead authorized the building of tennis courts al Langley senior secondary school. It has now been renewed. Aid. Jim Lee said Monday morning that there was only "a limited use" for tennis courts at Milner, and besides, Langley high school was not that far away. "Wc took their (Milner's) money and got them to agree to delete their request for one year," said Aid. Bill Blair. Mayor George Driediger suggested that a "First class, all-weather soccer field and ball diamond" might bc more to the liking of the people of Milner now. "Let us talk to the people," he said. Councilors decided to tabic the latest request until after recreation director Darch Oborne had had a meeting with the leaders of this community and found out what tltcv rcallv wanted. The new Zamboni has finally arrived at the Aldergrove Arena. Above are arena manager Terry Sturley and Iceman Frank Hartl taking the new machine for a spin on the ice. The Zamboni, badley needed to sweep the ice surface cost $24,500, but considered money well spent since the old one kept breaking down, and rented machines had to be brought in. The old ice-machine will be kept on as spare for the two Langley arenas. Advertising space will be available on the two sides of the Zamboni, anyone interested can contact the arena manager for particulars.

A new trophy was added this year in memory of the initial instigator of the walk, Pcllc Swensson.

HOMELITE Most tractors are either too large or too small for in-between work Ours is just right We designed it that way. Because, let's face it, a lot of farm and garden jobs just can't be done efficiently with conventional models. The Yanmar Diesel Tractor has muscle to handle mowing, post hole digging, small area plowing, harrowing—even specialized work inside greenhouses. Yet it weighs under one ton and can be transported in a small truck. A very tight turning radius and high stability make it a pleasure to operate in difficult and cramped areas. Owning one can save you money three ways. The initial purchase price is modest due mainly to engine mass-production savings (We produce more of them each year—over 400,000-than anyone else). Running costs are low and maintenance is both easy and simple. Our free brochure has all the details. Send for one today. V Shepherd Bros.

The meeting will start at 8 p.m. in the Conference Room of the B.C. Artificial Insemination Centre at Milner. Guest speaker is Mr. Clay Campbell, beef cattle specialist of the BtC.'Mv-RKOck Branch.'Kam-.: loops. He will cover all aspects of the recording system and how to use the data effectively in beef cattle selection work. He will also bc outlining the plans that arc being made to put into practice the Young Sire Proving Program announced by the Federal Department of Agriculture last year. Swine producers of the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island will participate in a Short Course at Abbotsford on Tuesday, May 3rd. This is to start at 9:30 a.m. at Abbot Castle. The program will have speakers from U.B.C., University of Alberta, B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, and the Canadian, Meatrackcrs Council. Dr. Frank Ahcrnc is a noted speaker on swine production from the University of Alberta in Edmonton who will bc present for his second engagement, having been here a year ago. The Green Zone Committee of the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture will provide another highlight in its report on guidelines that have been developed for farmers and for municipalities in preventing pollution problems. Newly interested swine producers arc strongly invited to attend with the regular producers. There is a noon luncheon at Abbot Castle in conjunction with this Short Course. Those wishing to participate are reminded to phone to John Onderwater at 859-4309 to notify him of your intentions. The Short Course will continue after lunch to 4:00 p.m. Last call for New Fraser Red Breeders. The Fraser Red strain of beef cattle continues to receive good publicity. The performance in growth of both heifers and steers has proven to be quite superior to commercial Herefords on the same farms under the R.O.P. program. Both sexes have gained a half pound per day more than Herefords up to weaning time. Of course this kind of performance was expected because the mother "Herfshires" have plenty of milk. They are quite car/able of carrying two calves for 200 days on good Fraser Valley pastures. A number of breeders practiced buying an extra calf to put on each of these cows at calving time in 1976. The practice really pays off. A total of 1,035 pounds of calf was weaned off one of these by Vaughn Raeside. There was no Holstein blood in the extra calf either, it was a Red Angus Hereford cross. The final product in the program is the commercial steers and heifers coming from the Fraser Red females when mated lo one of the larger exotic breeds. Eleven head of these females will bc mated to Simmcntal and Maine Anjou sires this year to get the first of these commercial calves and their performance data. The ranchers of B.C., the Prairies, and the U.S.A. will bc highly interested in the results. They are the potential buyers of the Fraser Reds for greater productivity. There was an estimated 800 part-time farmers raising some HccRn this Valfe'y' Mo years agfi.' Wc have only 18 doing some breeding for this program at present. Many more are needed if enough Fraser'Reds arc to be developed for the ranchers. If you have some good quality commercial or pure-bred Herefords that you can manage to breed by artificial insemination, and you arc interested in this program, then make your decision today to contact me or any Director of the Fraser Range Brood Cow Association to get all the details. Breeding is to bc done in May and June, so this is last call for new members. w The Corporation of the i$ DISTRICT OF MATSQUI Frontage Tax Court of Revision The Local Court of Revision for Frontage Tax Rolls concerning Sewer, Storm, Water and other Local Improvements within the District of Matsqui, will be held in the Council Chamber of the Municipal Hall, 32383 South Fraser Way, Clearbrook, commencing at • 10 a.m; -on Friday, May 20) 19/7. ,*'- ,* All those who are entitled to appear before the Court will be informed in writing, and anyone wishing to complain against their assessment must inform the Municipal Treasurer in writing at least 48 hours before the first sitting of the court.

(Very Interesting People). Emerald - birthstone for May By TOOTS TUCKER Emerald, the present-day birthstone for May. has been in constant demand since Babylonian times and is still very much in demand today. It's value is determined by its color and its lack of imperfections. Fine emeralds today are often more expensive than diamonds of a comparable quality due to the rarity of fine stones. Emerald is the only variety of beryl containing chromium oxide and it has the typical absorption spectra of a chromium colored gem or mineral. Perhaps the most important present-day sources arc the mines of Columbia, and other beryl gems are obtained most abundantly in Brazil, Madagascar. Siberia, Ceylon, and California. The ancient people believed that the green color of emeralds signified transitory hopes, the decline of friendship and joyous- ness for women. For men, it was supposed to signify change, unfounded ambition, and childish delight. It was also used for those who died early in their youth signifying that the light of hope had been spent. Because of their various beliefs concerning different colors, much legend and lore has been attached to the emerald. It was supposed lo bc able to foretell the future (crystal ball), and to be a revealer of truth. Another belief was that the emerald would strengthen a person's memory - orators and public speakers would make every effort to wear or have with them an emerald while giving a public address. Lovers believed that tiie emerald would show the truth of falsity of a lover's cath. Mohammedans believed that six of the seven heavens were made of precious materials and emeralds were donned as the first. When they got to the seventh and highest heaven, it was suppos- ctlly made of three colored stones • emerald, ruby, and sapphire. In addition to the birthstone listings, emerald is also listed as the gem of Spring • which relates back to the green color of emerald, each of the other seasons being assigned its own gemstone.

Members of Families can do much to improve the quality of Family living and thereby give strength to the community as a whole, through spending quality time in communication-building activities in the home. I urge all families, therefore, to emphasize weekly family evenings, discussions, family councils, recreation and social activities, family service and home Improvement projects, family devotional and religious activities, commencing during Family Month. I call upon the religious bodies, the business community, the social, economic, and cultural associations of Matsqui to join with the municipal government in supporting this endeavor, by planning and sponsoring special activities for families which emphasize and enhance family relationships. May we all work together to strengthen the Family in our community. Harry DeJong Mayor FAMILY FUN MIGHT Life in so many families is grim and joyless. Often it seems as though the only time parents and children talk is when things are going wrong. About the only thing family members do together is fight. What a tragedy! Playing together, sharing interests, getting to know one another during light-hearted times is almost a lost art. One way that families can have fun together is to explore their area. A good place to spend some eniovable and inexpensive hours these days is in Fort Langley at the Centennial Museum and National Exhibition Centre. Each weekend, special demonstrations are set up featuring local arts and crafts groups as well as other showings. All this besides the regular museum and "The Fort" makes for a very interesting place to browse. Our community has many programs being held in May which are of interest to the whole family. Events for this week of May include: May 4th - June 8th - daily - Children and the Arts Exhibit Langley Mall. May 2nd - 17th - daily - National Museum of Man Exhibit.

Our Payslar series was built for the task. One big reason for Paystar's success Is the new V-800 diesel it packs these days. This compact engine offers superior weight to performance characteristics. It'll also give you better mileage, longer life and fewer maintenance problems than the engines It replaces. International's V-800's are now available in three ratings. For construction applications.*^ recommend the 260 h.p. high torque rise version, and seven speed trans-' '' mission. Paystar's straight channel heat-trealed steel alloy frame (RBM: up to 4.400.000 inch-pounds) is proof against Ihe worst punishme.il. (As an extra safeguard, it's boiled togelher with S.A.E. grade-8 fiange-head nuts and bolts, which have 25% more threads than ordinary fasteners). Tnat permits a GVW ot up to 85,000 lbs. Integral power steering, walking beam rear suspensions are standard equipment Tubular aluminum extrusion door frame and extensive use of support members help cab resist shakes, jolts and jars. Oscillating axles, combined with the 5000's excellent ground clearance, make It as nearly "unstoppable" as any truck In construction. Paystar's super-efficient frame-mounted radiator, use of wire-reinforced hoses with reusable fittings, and Ihe use of aluminum componentry (saving more than a 'A-ton In weight) make the Paystar "the Master- Builder".

Surplus for the year 1976 and anticipated miscellaneous revenue will reduce the budgeted expenditures to a net requirement of $16,732,695, of which $9,447,761 (56.46%) will bc provided by provincial government grants. The balance of $7,284,934 (43.54%) will be raised by local taxation. The rate necessary to raise this amount is 49.124 mills, to which an addition of .341 mills is necessary to adjust for late changes in assessed values, which resulted in 1976 taxation revenues being less than the amounts levied. The 1977 district school tax levy has been set at 49.465 mills. The Board of School Trustees affirms that its chief goal is to fill the educational needs and aspirations of the community and to provide quality education to all students in this district. In preparing the budget, the Board has endeavoured to exercise restraint and has proposed only those expenditures necessary to maintain its existing programmes in keeping with its educational objectives. It is noteworthy that whereas the province-wide average for non-shareable operating costs (costs in excess of basic programme) is 8.626 mills, this school district's rate is only 5.273 mills. The comparison of this district with the average of all school districts on a province-wide basis is as follows: Province-Wide At 10:00 a.m. sharp the 15th annual Langley Walk officially started, lead by the runners, through the ALdergrove Park Continued from page 11 and Trevor Kray.
