Taking the dog for a walk was never like this! When Derrick Mobey of the Fraser Valley Hunt TALLY - HO takes the hounds for a dally constitutional It's like a mass exodus. Little rest for hounds in off season ALDERGROVE — Hunting in general Is probably one of the most popular sports in Canada, yet Aldergrove can claim the distinction of being home for the only fox hunting association west of Ontario. The Fraser Valley Hunt carries on in our midst with an English lady's and gentleman's tradition dating back to the days of King Edward II. Our local hunt sports all the trappings of the European variety with only a few minor differences, and offers locals a rare opportunity to witness a bonafide foxhunt in "full cry" over the surrounding countryside. At present, the hunt is in its mid season break, a lapse in hunting necessary while local farmers are haying and can not allow hunters and hounds to gallop through the fields. Although the members of the hunt take a breather at this time of year, there is only partial rest for the hounds, and for Huntsman Derrick Mobey. Mobey is the association's paid employee who resides on south Jackman Road near 8th Avenue. It is his function to train and care for the hounds and steeds. Mobey's experience in this regard goes back to his home in Cornwall, England, where he worked as a groom for the hunt, and later to another hunt in the Suffolk area where he cared for horses and assisted in the training of the hounds. "I wanted to do more work with hounds," he explains, adding that he was very lucky in moving to Canada to find the Huntsman of the Fraser Valley Hunt repairing to England. Mobey has now realized his dream as chief servant of the hunt. His days are spent caring for a kennel of 21 hunting hounds and a stable of horses. This time of year the hounds occupy a good deal of Mobey's time. Each morning, before 10:00 a.m. they must be walked in a group for their daily exercise. This in itself is a tribute to the skill of a professional huntsman. The 21 animals are led without leash down the roadside and are expected to follow Mobey's verbal directions to the letter. Foxhounds straying onto the road surface or onto private property are chastised verbally by Mobey and perhaps physically by the 'whipper-in'. Sue Mills of Vancouver. Mills is a member of the association who travels out to Aldergrove twice a week from her home in Vancouver, to assist the huntsman in his duties and to familiarize herself with the hounds and (he training and dicipline procedures. 'In addition, Carol Homewood, of Aldergrove finds her niche in the day to day routine of the kennels. Carol is a trainee whipper-in, who assists Mobey each morning in his work and helps care for the hounds in their kennels. The dogs follow directions like extremely well behaved children. Each one is recognized by Mobey although they all look much alike at a glance. If one goes astray he calls it by name, and the animal instantly returns to his side. The dogs are so used to taking his orders'that one almost gets the impression Mobey has taught them to understand the Queen's English. "Foxhounds" he says as he opens the gate to one kennel, and sure enough, all the male members of the pack trot obediently through the gate. "Bitches" he declares opening a second enclosure, and all the female members of the group follow suit into their kennel. Those remaining are the young dogs who are still being trained in basic obedience. They are kenneled separately. During hunting season the hounds are expected to lead the hunters on.the trail of the drag. The Fraser Valley Hunt does not persue live foxes, for various reasons, opting instead for a laid scent of fox. Early in the morning before a hunt, Mobey walks along a predetermined route, dragging behind an old bath towel soaked in a mixture of castor oil and fox scent. Fox scent, which must be ordered by the bottle from California, is as unpleasant to the human nose as California smog is 'Tally' page 2 Chamber condemns Game Farm subsidy ALDERGROVE — Members of the Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce have voted to send a letter to the provincial and federal governments, protesting against the proposed government subsidy of a game farm in the Surrey area. The complex, planned by the non-profit Tynehead Zoological Society, will be built on 640 acres of land and will provide a display and research facility. Government subsidy of the venture was first attacked by Hugh Oakes, operator of the Vancouver Game Farm In Aldergrove. Oakes claimed the new game farm would run him out of business and objects to his tax dollars being used for such a purpose, especially as he has never received a tax break from any level of government for his own operation. The letter from the chamber echoes Oakes' feelings and backs them with the voices of the 35 business people who belong to that organization. By RUDY LANGMANN LANGLEY — This is advise to propsective homeowners in this district. Caveat emptor — or let the buyer beware. That is the rule. You see, according to Langley district councilors (and public health officials agree) all the "good land" in the district has now been taken, and "we're now getting into the garbage land." Garbage land? Yes, that is land that does not have sufficient drainage and which is situated outside a sewered area. Land which might, to the casual inspection of the untrained city-eye look most appealing in its pastoral setting of trees, pastures, streams and lakes with the majestic mountains as a backdrop. Garbage land is, shortly told, land which according to ever- sharpening provincial public health regulations will not support a conventional — or even a non-conventional — septic tank and field system. And which according to councilmen has been bought by its present owners dirt-cheap (although this is not, learned councilors notwithstanding, necessarily so). Garbage land is bare land, city-sized lots or acreages, which has less than 18 inches of residual 'soil' on top of hardpan, clay, bedrock or water table. As the owner of a five-acre lot south of Murrayville recently has learned. Louise Kalutycz is a very unhappy lady. She was told that nothing wobld hinder her from building her new home on 40th Avenue, all she had to do was to go through the usual procedures. She did, and she soon found put that' the workings of 4 bureau'-' cracy was perhaps more than she had bargained for. Kalutycz had a septic system designed by an engineering firm in Langley, and they guaranteed that it would work. She took the plans to the local health inspector's office and they were rejected. Health board director Dr. A.G. Bailey, at Langley district council Monday morning, was asked the reason why. "Our own engineer, equally qualified, turned the plans down," Bailey said. News boycott continues INDUSTRIAL LAND ALDERGROVE — Reporter Gary Chambers, with The Star, said Tuesday that his one-man news boycott will continue against Matsqui district council. In an interview with himself just prior to the paper's weekly news deadline, Chambers postulated that there had been nothing during the week since his announcement of the boycott, to indicate a change of direction at council. "There was a report on bylaw enforcement available at a special meeting held Monday," he said, "but there was no regular council meeting during the week, so it was impossible to tell if this was an indication of a change in policy at municipal hall." Chambers declared his boycott on council news in .Matsqui last week, to demonstrate the need for more background information being disseminated out of the hall before or during council meetings. "Different people have had different reactions," he said, after asking himself how the public felt about if. "Some think I'm insane, and they are probably correct. But some have expressed support, so I guess we should see this thing through. Asking himself how he felt about claims from Mayor Harry DeJong of inaccurate reporting (see letter page 4), Chambers expressed dismay that the mayor thinks he would promulgate falsehoods. "But the mayor is welcome to his opinion. If I didn't believe that I could hardly express my own, could I?" he said. Chambers reiterated his demand for the release of background documents at regular council meetings. He said what is really required is a drastic overhaul of the nation's public disclosure laws. but conceded that he would have to see how things worked out with Matsqui council before he started attacking Ottawa. Good trade-off Legion plans Canada Week celebration ALDERGROVE — Members of the Royal Canadian Legion here are busy planning a day of celebration on June 25. June 25 is the first day of Canada Week. The legion plans to kick the week off with a barbeque on the patio at the rear of the Legion branch. The barbecue is' open to the general public and steaks will be sold at $3.00 per plate. ' Hamburgers will go for 35c each and hot dogs will be sold for a quarter. There will be alcoholic beverages served as well at usual Legion prices. A parade which was scheduled for the morning has since been cancelled, but the barbeque has been moved ahead from 1:00 p.m.' to 10:00 a.m., and is due to continue until five in the afternoon. ALDERGROVE—Industrial land in the Otter Road area reverting back to farm use is considered "good trade-off for other industrial land" by a Langley district alderman. ■ Aid. Art Brooks told council Monday morning that the 1,000 acres of land designated by district zoning as 'Industrial 1' and located between 232 Street and 256 Street, north of freeway 401, is a "good trade-off' for the 800 acres now sought rezoned from 'Rural 2' to industrial use for the proposed Fraser Industrial Centre in the north County Line area. The B.C. Land Commission has requested the consideration of the Central Fraser Valley regional board of directors for an offical regional plan amendment for 2,000 acres of Langley land owned by the commission. Half of this land, which will be consolidated back into substantial farm holdings, is designated 'Industrial 1' according to the current regional plan and 'Industrial' in the long-range plan. A letter from land commission chairman Gary Runka indicates that an amendment to change the 1,000 acres back to 'Rural 2' would be appropriate. The Fraser Industrial Centre is a proposal by Gloucester Properties to build and lease about 800 acres of land situated between County Line Road and the Lang* ley-Matsqui boundary north of freeway 401 to 60 Avenue. See also public letter from Runka to Langley district Mayor George Driediger in today's 'letters to the editor' column. "Why?" asked Aid. Stan Fras- Because the Kalutycz property had only six inches of topsoil over the clay subsoil, Bailey said. Fraser said engineers Buckley and Graham had "put their neck on the block" by attaching their seal to the plans, thereby guaranteeing that their design would work. "If we are going to go by these fellows," Fraser added, indicating Bailey and the three local inspectors in council chambers, "then the building department in Langley will soon be out of work. "I am sick and tired of (this) big bureaucratic existence just trying to justify its own being." Fraser added that many of the health board rulings, such as one calling for the location of a water well to be at least 100 feet removed from a septic tank, were "ridiculous." A drilled well, if property grouted in could go right through a septic tank without any contamination of the water supply whatsoever, he said. As long as it went to a different underground strata. Inspector Len Hiebert did not agree. According to Hiebert, contamination could even go through a steel pipe "through osmosis". Aid. Elford Nundal, a veterinary doctor, said he had never heard of such a thing, but even if water could go through a steel pipe casing, osmosis acted in all instances as a purifier of water. Another inspector, Karen Critchley, suggested that an answer to problems like Kalutycz'. would be to sewer the areas in question. "there's the answer," Fraser exclaimed derisively, "sewer the world." Bailey suggested that there might be one other way out. The health board, although not accepting fill in cases where there is less than 18 inches of natural topsoil, might do so "over a period of time," he said. "You mean she can build it (the land) up an re-apply?" Aid. Art Brooks asked. "Yes, in five years or so," answered Hiebert. Man, apparently, can send an expedition to the moon, but he cannot, with all.his engineering skill design a waste disposal field acceptable in Langley. Local ales in U.S. ear crash BIRCH BAY, WASH. - Highway patrol here report that Jack Braden of Aldergrove, 22, died in a car crash at the intersection of Anderson and Harborview Roads. The accident occured on June 18 at 12:15 a.m, and Braden was the driver of one of the two vehicles involved. Washington State police report that both vehicles entered the intersection at the same time and a collision resulted. There were several injuries to passengers although the only other person seriously hurt in the crash was Yvonne Bradford, a passenger in the other car. The Bradford car was being driven by David Kaye of Port Moody. Windowsill gardening? LANGLEY — A request recently reached council chambers in Murrayville from Langley city council, asking how the district intends to compensate the city for recreational properties previously owned by the joint recreation commission of the two Langleys. Following the commission split on May 1st this year, Mayor George Driediger ordered an inventory to be made of the properties in question. "Give them (the city) a shovel and a wheel barrow," Aid. Jock Lindsay suggested Monday morning. American D.A. lauds co-op effort in law enforcement BELLINGHAM — Prosecutor Dave McEachran, of the district, court of Whatcom County, said Tuesday that he was very pleased with the international cooperation shown recently in a case he is working on. The incident leading up to McEachran's case took* place on May 14 in the Whatcom area. Sheriffs deputy Ward Crutcher was beaten badly by three assailants who led American police officers on a wild chase over roads near the international boundary. His attackers seemed to be heading in a northerly direction and so police in Canada were notified of their possible entry. The flight from the law took place in the early hours of the morning before Canada Customs officers went on duty, and the suspects are alleged to have crossed the border just east of the Aldergrove station, abandoning their vehicle on the American side. An alert officer of the Canadian Customs detachment spotted the vehicle and contacted police. Members of the RCMP and the Whatcom County Sheriff's office then put their heads together and threw up a dragnet in the area of the Aldergrove-Lynden ' border crossing. Officers from both police forces took part in the operation. The three suspects were able to get through the net of police officers, however, reaching the Alder Inn Hotel from where they contacted a taxi company and took a cab into Vancouver. All three suspects were later aprehended in Vancouver by RCMP officers with the city detachment. Two of the alleged assailants, David General and Robert Sault, gave themselves up to American police by choice and were returned to Whatcom County where , they remain in custody. Wayne Sault, the third suspect, is still in Canada awaiting approval of an extradition order from the Canadian government. An innocent bystander, in the course of events, Jack Miilington of Zero Avenue, later received a subpoena from McEachran's office stating that he was required to appear in court as a witness or face contempt of court charges. Miilington had found a jacket in his field alleged to belong to a suspect. For a short while the document caused a stir, as McEachran and his neighbors were a little perturbed about Canadian citizens being treated so flippantly by American authorities. It was learned later, however, that the subpoena (delivered by mail) was a simple formality and that Miilington could not really face contempt charges as a Canadian citizen. McEachran explained in a Star interview Tuesday, the reason for the delivery of a subpoena as opposed to a polite letter requesting Millington's presence. It turns out that under American law, witnesses must be subpoenaed before the government can pay their mileage expenses and witness fees. "With a Canadian citizen we don't really have any contempt powers," the D.A. said. He said a lot of cases handled in his office involve witnesses who live in Canada, because of the close proximity to the border. McEachran commented that the co-operation between officers and citizens of the two nation's was particularity good in this case, especially considering the fact that the suspects were in Canada when they were arrested. He reiterated that what he is requesting in the subpoena is simply the further co-operation of a Canadian as a witness in the trial. McEachran said he had spoken to Miilington and was pleased with his reaction. Deputy Crutcher has since recovered from his injuries and is back on the job with the Sheriff's office. His injuries from the beating had hospitalized him for five days. 2 THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1977 British Columbians living beyond means It seems that the people of B.C. have been living beyond their means. This realization, while shocking to some, does serve the purpose of forcing consideration of possible methods of economizing. Health care costs have escalated in recent years. One of the reasons is that the public assumes that unlimited top-quality care is a right purchased with their Medical Services Plan premium, no matter what its true cost might be. B.C. Medical Association studies of the increased costs of providing medical care has resulted in an interesting report - "Cost Containment with Retention of Quality -• The Physician's Viewpoint." Hospitals generate the largest proportion of health care costs, and most of these expenses (wages, food, laundry, administration) are beyond physical control. Physician cost increases have been relatively modest when compared with increases in other areas of health care delivery. The report shows how patients and physicians can effect economics and save dollars, without sacrificing quality. .Some suggestions follow. If the disease or injury does not occur, health dollars arc saved. Know effective preventive measures must be exploited.

Patient demand for service has increased by 56 per cent in five years. Requests for expensive night, Sunday and holiday visits have jumped by-76 per cent over the same period. Many of these services are either not really required, or could be as readily provided at regular times at less than half the cost. Physicians also generate extra costs. Unnecessary referrals may result from patient pressure or the pressure of time. Lab tests and other investigations may be ordered excessively or somewhat indiscriminately, and follow-up tests may be done more frequently than needed. Malpractice fears may force the doctor to practice "defensively," ordering every test he can think of to avoid criticism later. Consideration by the patient of the real need for the service, and the place and time it is requested, plus the development of a "cost consciousness" on the part of the doctor could result in significant dollar savings, perhaps sacrificing some convenience, but not quality. High speed chase ends in ditch SURREY — Terrence Joseph Lundihn. 22, was arrested in the early hours of the morning on June 19 in Surrey. The suspect was in control of a Five ton vehicle which was seen speeding through Langley city at about 4:15 Sunday morning. Police tried to stop the truck found that the driver refused to pull over for police emergency equipment. Police followed the speeding vehicle into the Surrey area, radioing ahead for a roadblock. Members of the Surrey detachment set up a block at 156 Street and Fraser Highway. When the truck reached the roadblock it veered into the rear of one of the police cars and rolled into the ditch on its side. The suspect was taken from the cab of the truck and charges of impaired driving, auto theft and dangerous driving arc pending against him. Hazard to be eliminated MURRAYVILLE — Township council will approach the provincial highways department with a request for left turn lanes to be installed on Fraser Highway outside the RCMP building here. The recent restriction in traffic flow leading to and from the municipal hall in the next block, no longer permitting the crossing of the highway at the general hospital, will lead to an increase in the number of serious traffic accidents in the area unless something is done to alleviate the situation, councilors feel. While councilmen applaud the new restrictions at 221 Street, they fear that the resultant will be an increase in traffic where 222 Street and 48 Avenue cross the highway. There has already been a number of serious rear-end collisions in recent months. Dr. Wm. WELLS announces the opening of his office for the GENERAL PRACTICE OF DENTISTRY.

To a foxhound, however, the odor may as well have come from laboratory of an exclusive Parisian perfumer. The dogs charge at top speed over hill, and through dale on the trail of the elusive bath towel, secure in the knowledge that a feast of dogmeat waits at the end of their quest. Riders in coats of 'pink' (actually scarlet), who are on horseback and with the dogs when they reach the end of the drag are said to be "in at the death." Being first to arrive on horseback is the objective of the sport. Traditionally the first riders are presented by the Master of the Hunt with the fox's tail, or 'brush', the head, or 'mask', and the feet, or 'pads'. This is one tradition not observed by our local hunt, of course, as few hunters would be interested in receiving a portion of a tattered and smelly bath towel. The Fraser Valley Hunt's mid season break will end in August. Mobey says he would like to make sure that everyone knows when the season gets back into full swing so that interested people can drop by and observe the proceedings. He assures us that there are few things in life more thrilling than the baying of the hounds and the flight of the thoroughbreds hot on the trail of a fox scent. CALEDONIA, ONTARIO * — Blaine and Boundary, two purebred English foxhounds who will earn their keep this year leading members of the Fraser Valley Hunt on the trail of. the fox, were winners at the Canadian English Foxhound Show here on June 11. Both animals are young dogs and have not yet been on a hunt, although they are well into training for such an endeavor. Youth did not prevent the animals from bringing home a couple of ribbons, however. Blaine came fourth in the Car-train crash claims two people ABBOTSFORD — A local man and a woman were killed Sunday night when their car collided with a Burlington Northern freight train at a crossing three miles south of Blaine, Wash. Dead are driver Antonio Cev- acece, 52, and his mother-in-law Zaniol Facchin, 77, both of 31843 South Fraser Way. Bruna Cevacece, 52, wife of the dead driver, is in critical condition at St. Luke's General Hospital in Bellingham. unentered division (not yet on a hunt) and the two animals together came third in the couples class. Foxhounds are usually judged in couples, as that is the way they are trained to hunt. A young hound is placed on a collar with an older and well trained hound, and the older dog leads the pup along according to the huntsman's commands. Two types of foxhound exist in Canada, the English and the American. Blaine and Boundary belong to a pack of 21 English foxhounds owned by the Fraser Valley Hunt. The 21 are probably the only know English foxhounds in B.C. The American strain is far more prominent on the North American continent, having been bred here since about 1880. English foxhounds, which are slightly larger as a rule than their American cousins, are characterized by their speed, endurance and keen scent. Dating back well over 160 years, the breed is derived from the bloodhound. 'HIRE A STUDENT- Manpower on student job hunt ALDERGROVE — Students from this area are busy with their final exams and many will soon be on the jobhunting trail. Some will be looking for fulltime employment to begin their careers in the work-a-day world, while others will simply be looking for summer jobs to tide them oyer until the fall term. Glen Thibault of Canada Manpower in Langley is, therefore, hard at work trying to find placements for these people.' As part of his work in this regard, Thibault is co-ordinating a local "paint-in" to help publicize Hire a Student Week. Those participating in the project, which (weather permitting) is taking place outside the Elk's hall in Aldergrove uMll Sunday, will be among those receiving bursaries from Canada Manpower. Thibault is presently scouring the community for donations to the bursary fund, as well as searching for employment openings. Anyone interested in donating to the fund, or hiring a student, should contact Thibault through Manpower in Langley. Others may simply be interested in going down to the Elk's hall and cheering on the participants of the paint-in.

"We have taken this action because we feel that the school board's alleged re-organization of supervisory positions in the district is being used as an excuse to get rid of the primary supervisor, Virginia Houghton, LTA president Dave McClean said. The board's elimination 'of the position precipitated the conflict with the LTA. and McClean also claimed that "the board has refused to provide an educational case for their alleged re-organization, nor have they, at any time, questioned the competence of Mrs. Houghton's contribution to the district's primary program." Houghton has 22 years teaching experience, eight of which has been in supervisory positions. She has served as a member of the department of education's provincial kindergarten committee and she has taught, at the university level, classes in educational theory and practice. She has also travelled widely throughout the province as a consultant, curriculum advisor and guest speaker. In the past she has been called upon by the department of education of the Yukon to write and implement primary curriculum. McClean added that. "1 am astounded that the board has refused to recognize the important leadership contribution this talented and respected teacher has made to the Langley district and to the province. "This is a further example of the board's unsound personnel practices which has been a cause of a drastic drop in teacher morale. There is little doubt that this is causing a decline in the quality of educational program in Langley." Similar sentiments were expressed by the retiring district superintendent of schools, Charles Cuthbert in the June issue of the LTA Bulletin. "I am concerned about the present situation. There seems to be a low ebb in morale in the district. This grieves me greatly." "It was with great reluctance that we took this step." said the LTA president, "but this is the culmination of a long series of frustrations with the present school board."

"Up until now we have been told by them where they want to build," clerk-administrator Derek Doubleday said. Councilmen were discussing a memo from the school board informing council that the board is opposed to a new fireball for zone 5 being built on municipal- owned property in south Brooks wood. The reason being that the board itself has its eyes on the property for a new elementary school, and although there would be ample room for both, a fireball, according to trustees "is not compatible with a school" for a neighbor. Councilors mused about the reasons behind this. Perhaps the sirens, they speculated. Aid. Elford Nundal, however, was of the opinion that with the number of school fires in recent years it would be "a damn good idea to have a fireball next door."

"The best way to stop people breaking the law, is to do away with the law. The best way to' have people stay within the law is to educate them," wrote Davies in a report to council Monday. Davies and police chief Robert Smith were both on hand to deliver the report at a special meeting of cquncil, held to talk over the problems involved in bylaw enforcement, Smith told council that complaints about enforcement were becoming a serious problem. He said people call different departments at the municipal hall or the police department, and are often given various different answers regarding the enforcement of one bylaw. Smith said such calls must be diverted into one office so that all enquiries about bylaws and enforcement can be answered on the same wave length. Davies, meanwhile, expressed concern over the flow of information at the hall. "If I had all the material at hand I could go ahead and investigate," he explained. According to Davies a lot of his time is spent trying to get background information on bylaw infractions that have been a problem for some time. Much information is on file at municipal hall regarding some of these cases, and he requested that this information be made available to him when council asks him to investigate a case. "If a complete file came over to me...I would have an idea as to what has been going on in the past," he stated, adding that he did not have time to dig through council's filing cabinets each time he investigated a complaint. Council urged to set up a better system of communication between the police officer and the municipal hall. Better P.R. Mayor Harry DeJong also delivered a report to the meeting, containing five recommendations for council to consider. The recommendations dealt primarily with the problem of education people as to the letter and purpose of council's civic statutes. DeJong advised that Davies should "be allowed" to embark on a program of public information. He adivsed that a preliminary budget of $1,000 be struck to finance a series of public meetings and the preparation of "material" to be distributed at these meetings. Davies would be expected to chair the meetings and to use them as a forum to educate people on matters of civic law that effect their daily lives. DcJong's recommendations went further to advise a three month slacking off period during which council could rewrite some bylaws and become familiar with the new wording. Davies, during this time, would be expected only to enforce bylaws when he receives a complaint from a citizen or council. For the most part council was in agreement with DcJong's ideas, although they were not implimen- ted in the special committee meeting, but were put forward tor consideration at the next regular meeting. LANGLEY — A city developer has won a $14,000 reduction in cash contributions demanded by city council as part of a land use contract. Tillicum Developments had earlier opposed a number of requirements stipulated by the city for a planned two-storey light industrial complex at the northeast corner of 199 Street and 56 Avenue. The city had first demanded a $37,624 cash contribution to take care of the reconstruction of the two roads. This sum was Monday; reduced to $23,101. Another development, a mixed housing estate west of 208 Street, will be asked by the city why single family lots are being sold, when at a public hearing held in 1975, it had been the clear understanding by city officials that the subdivision would be built by the developers. Engineered Homes is advertising for sale several lots which the city believed would be developed to the final stage including the construction of the homes. Such a provision was, however, not included in the land use contract and according. to Aid., Aubrey Searle the city is "just bluffing" by voicing objections*. 5HEBE! And its a winner!

Comment The Aldergrove Star WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1977 WENMAN REPORT Do not legislate TV Bv BOB WENMAN, MP The CBC. When I was young it was "the" link to the world. There wasn't any controversy over the value of the public corporation or the separatist bias uf iis Francophone reporters, although the slurs of the McCarthy witchunts were not unknown in Canada. What happened? Did the CBC change or did the Canadian nation change? Both. The CBC contributed to the evolution of our nation: yet the corporation found itself unable to satisfy its newly voracious audience. The change was from a vital youthful broadcasting network-secure due to the lack of competition - to a plodding bureaucracy • unsure of its direction in a complex field. The CBC has yet to respond to the desires of its 1977 audience; a much more diverse and demanding audience than that of the 50's. The lower mainland area is an excellent example of this new audience. Over 80 percent of the homes have cable service so the CBC must automatically compete with others for the viewers attention. How has our own broadcasting system fared? The CBC is neck and neck with the KING and NBC affiliate in Seattle and behind the ABC station KOMO and CTV. the private Canadian network. Obviously the Americans have a strong grip on the lower mainland audience. Why? Because they are supplying the programming the viewer demands. One of the CRTC's regulations guarantees Canadian T.V. stations access to cable subscribers in its primary service area. The regulation is intended to strengthen Canadian Broadcasting. However, protectionism only permits the weak to clunk along delaying the inevitable; its demise. Either the CBC can or cannot compete with the American stations for the viewer's attention. The CBC wants the clock turned back to the 50's, the days of no competition. But who is the CBC intended to serve? The people who pay for its operation, or the CBC's staff, the beneficiary of the taxpayer's money and the CRTC's protectionism. The CBC's task is monumental. It must provide mass entertainment, cultural and dramatic programming, investigative journalism and sports. It must provide this programming on a national scale to a nation which has several distinct regions. And it must compete with the massive private American corporations and the U.S. public system head on in the urban areas. Obviously the question is why? There is an element in the Canadian identity which recognizes our relationship with our southern neighbors and the need for mechanisms to strengthen the cultures composing the Canadian mosaic in the lace of the U.S. search for fertile economic opportunities. The CBC has been and always shall be part of that Canadian frontline. However, the CBC and the CRTC don't realize they are walking the knife blade. They have begun infringing on our freedom of choice and entered the dark room of censorship ■ the French cannel, CKVU. the CBC Victoria station. Obviously the CRTC and the CBC have become overzealous in their defence of the Canadian cultural mosaic and there must be a rationalization of their respective roles. Greater attention to regional programming is a First priority. Toronto has been resisting this demand, in the process whining that decentralization would kill the quality of CBC programming. On a network noted for the uneveness of its fare 1 fail to see how Vancouver cannot at least match the Toronto product. The Canadian taxpayer dumps over $600 million into the CBC now and very few Canadians appear to be very content with that money's product. Over 50 percent of the budget goes to staff salaries and just over 10 percent to talent. Small wonder that Canadian talent has beaten the well publicized path to Southern California. The creators of entertainment, its actors, writers, directors or reporters, provide the quality that attracts the audience. Instead of legislating an audience, the CBC and CRTC should reduce its ambitions and aim for an audience which tunes its sets to the CBC because it wants to; not because it has no other choice. Another area where the CBC should reconsider its priorities lies in programming. Because it is a public corporation, the reliance has been on in-house production. For economic efficiency and entertainment reasons the CBC should begin a trend towards contracting out and purchasing programming from private Canadian sources. The whole area of broadcasting has come in for extensive criticism of late. Yet the rumblings for a Royal Commission connote witchhunts, censorship and political interference. A Royal Commission would require at least 3 years, but non-political proposal would bc a system of regional advisory boards drawn from the public. They could easily provide the input the CBC is obviously lacking and inject the vitality the corporation had in the 50's and managed to file away in the bureaucrat heaven of the 70's. «sa* "eMuar .Stir * i' i * j-U-L^y y ! ^ ;&!.** The Aldergrove Star Established 1957 Published every Wednesday at 27120 Fraser Highway, Aldergrove, British Columbia.

From the back porch City fathers went rangatang Well, sir, like I wus tellin' the wife t'uther day, things sorta work out purty good if they is left alone to do it natcheral like. F'rinstance, the wife wus hol- lerin' fer me to spade up a bed fer herpetoonyas last Satiddy. I turnt up some real fat worms in the first spadeful an I wus sorta leanin' on the shovel an thinkin', becus she wus a real nice day. Next thing I knowd, the wife is hollerin' frum the window an I cum back real quick frum the lake where I wus jest getting' set fer to cast one of them worms at a fat rainbow trout. Like I wus sayin', things general work out purty good, becus the petoonyas got froze to hell an gone a cupple days later. So I might jest as well have gone Fishin'. It's sorta like the place down the lane where folks in the neighborhood dumped their lawn clippin's an weeds. It wus on a bank alongside the crick an a feller cud set quiet in the trees between barrow-loads fer a moment an see how things had sorta gone back into natchur, wot with a few stray crocusses comin' up through last year's compost. Anyways, the City Fathers went rangatang agin'* an a big sign went up, wich said NO DUMPING ALLOWED. It's shur surprisin' wot folks can do when the dingalings in* City Hall lay down the law. I'll bet the fellers on the garbage truck almost went nuts fer a year, becus it takes a helluva lot of extra bags an cardboard boxes to handle rose prunings and so forth frum the backyards arount the neighborhood. Anyways, I wandered down to the crick t'uther day fer a look an the Mayor shud have hoisted his butt off that upholstered chair an cum with me! There's a zillion littel kids jest a'whoopin' and hollerin' an havin' a helluva time. They has gnawed down a cupple trees with a dull axe an hammered up old lumber they acrounged an they has the dangdest lookin' shack you ever saw. It even has a door, hung sorta crooked like frum rusty hinges. But it's good solid plywood...an on the inside it ses, jest the same as it cum frum the City Workers Yard: NO DUMPING ALLOWED Rr.!?rll!^d Letters to the Editor much cheaper BROOKSWOOD — The question of whether or not to allow a commercial developer to build a medical-professional centre on residential property in this community was again brought up in Murrayville council this week. A proposal by the planning department would allow Evanish Holdings Ltd. to proceed with their plans under a land use contract not requiring re-zoning of the property. A land use contract would give the district much stricter controls over the type of building and surrounding landscaping than would a zoning change, planner Stan VanMeer had assured council. Last week a large delegation to the Evanish public hearing voiced their disapproval of the project. Aid. Elford Nundal asked this week if a land use contract was issued this would mean that every owner of residential property in Brookswood — or in Langley as a whole — would have legal cause to ask that he or she be granted the same privilege. This would mean that the district's zoning bylaw would become virtually ineffective, Nundal said. Municipal planner Ken Major, however, said that whether or not LAW TALK presedence were to be set would depend entirely on council. "Council is not obligated (to do the same to every applicant)," he said. "You mean to say that we can do a favor for a single man and refuse everyone else the same privilege?" Nundal asked. He added that such policy would not stand up in any court of law. Aid. Jock Lindsay said that Evanish does not own the land in question, adjacent to the commercial core of the community, but that the-developer only holds an option on the land. If we approved (of the land use contract)," he said, "then it would be cheaper to buy residential land" and simply apply for a similar arrangement. Lindsay said there is commercial land vacant here and asked why the developers didn't buy this instead. Nundal said he was opposed to the special development but would consider rezoning of the property. The case was tabled until a full, council will once again be present. Mayor George Driediger and aldermen Bill Blair and Jim Lee were absent from the Monday morning meeting. Do you remember, Mr. Driediger No secret resentment Unemployment insurance By GORDON HARDY "When dealing with the Unemployment Insurance Commission you can never say definitely what is going on." So says Allan MacLean, a lawyer with the Vancouver Community Legal Assistance Society. But officials of the Commission answer that people claiming benefits (claimants) often don't pay attention to the informational material the commission provides in six languages. Tony Strachan, an information officer for the U1C, complains that the gutters outside Commission offices are often strewn with this material. Wherever the truth may lie, it's safe to say that applying for unemployment benefits can be baffling. First question: who can get benefits? According to the present legislation you have to work and pay premiums for at least eight weeks to be eligible. (Bill C-27, now before Parliament, would stretch this period to twelve weeks.) But you must have been working in what is called "insurable employment", and this is decided not by the Unemployment Insurance Commission but by the Department of National Revenue. Government sponsored make- work projects are particularly tricky in this regard. There was a sad case of a young couple who worked on a government sponsored project a few years ago, paid premiums, then collected benefits after the project terminated. They were orderd by UIC to pay back S3.000 when National Revenue decided that the job was not "insurable". You are not eligible for unemployment insurance if you are self-employed or employed by your spouse. Nor are you eligible if you are 65 or over. It is your employer's responsibility to deduct your premiums from your pay cheque. When you want to claim for benefits you can pick up the application kit at your nearest UIC office. The kit contains various pamphlets which you should not throw in the gutter. According to MacLean, you should be very careful in filling out the application form. If, for example, you have quit your job, and your explanation for quitting is not satisfactory as far as UIC officials are concerned, you can lose up to six weeks of benefits. That is, they will disqualify you from any money for six weeks if they think you quit without "just cause". "For example," says MacLean, "if your doctor told you that you would definitely have a nervous breakdown if you stayed on at a certain job, that's probably just cause. If you quit because you don't like the color of your office, that probably is not." According to the law, your former employer has five days from your last day of work to provide you with your Record of Employment Certificate, your "separation s\i_t'\ This certificate tells the Commission how much money you were making and how long you worked. Since you will get about sixty-six percent of your weekly earnings in benefits, the Commission needs to know how much you earned in a typical week. If, for some reason, you don't have the certificate when you are ready to file your claim, file anyway. Since there is a two week waiting period for every claimant, the important thing is for you to establish the claim first; worry about the details during the waiting period. But keep after your ex-boss to give you your Records of Employment. In our first column we looked at the origins and basic principles of unemployment insurance. In the following five columns we will examine the most important peculiarities of this befuddling creature. Next: Regular, sickness, and maternity benefits.

Mayor George Driediger Corporation of the Township of Langley Dear Mr, Mayor: The Land Commission docs not normally respond to newspaper articles. However the statements that appeared in the June 8th edition of the Aldergrove Star and June 7th edition of The Columbian apparently quoting yourself concerning the Langley Farms property, call for a response. As mayor of Langley and lessee of some 200 acres owned by the Commission in this area, we would have thought you would be more aware of the facts surrounding the Land Commission's purchase of this property and subsequent planning for it. Certain points raised in the articles including quotes from either you or Council members should, I feel be directly responded to. 1. Wc were surprised at the comment about the government leasing land in the area "before they have even got the okay of this Council". Do you not recall that over the past two years the Commission or staff has met some ten times with the Council or Municipal staff. These meetings entailed detailed discussions of land use plans and proposals for implementation. 1 would be glad to send you details to remind you of each of these meetings. 2. The Commission takes exception to the statements reported in the Aldergrove Star which imply that Langley has not been kept informed of the Commission's plans for this 2000 acre block of land. A draft of the farm units plan on which the leased areas are based was discussed as early as December 1976. The Commission's intention to consolidate the many small parcels was part of the original objective of the Commission when it purchased the land in February 1975; this concept-was discussed with your Council in March, 1976. 3. While some of the rights-of- way proposed for cancellation presently serve as farm access roads none are constructed even to gravel standard and to our knowledge none are maintained by the Municipality. 4. All the roads proposed for cancellation (with two exceptions - a portion of 80th Avenue and 244th Street) and within the boundaries of Commission owned property, that is the roads do not abut privately owned property. 5. The total length of road right-of-way proposed for cancellation is 28,600 feet or 3.5 miles. The total length proposed for dedication is 4800 feet or 0.9 miles. 6. The proposed farm units range in size from 9 acres to 194 acres; the majority are less than 100 acres in area. 7. Land will be offered for purchase to farmer lessees. This policy of the Commission has been implemented in response to the considerable interest expressed by farmers (including yourself) to purchase the property they are farming. We regret that Com.oil may perhaps misunderstand the intentions of the Land Commission to re-establish agriculture in this area, despite the number of meetings that were held to discuss the land use plan for the area. We have supplied you with a complete set of plans showing the proposed farm unit areas, green- belt areas and proposed road cancellations and dedications. If any additional information is needed to help your Council respond to our letter of May 31, 1977, we would bc only too pleased to provide it. Yours truly, GARY G. RUNKA, Chairman, B. C.

The Star, Sir Reacting to an article in the news is not really my job, however, after having been misquoted on at least two occasions in the Aldergrove Star, I think it is only fair to let the readers know. In February of this year a statement was made in the Star that 1 had denied them information of Council meeting minutes. As was well known by the reporter, these minutes were "in camera" minutes which are not to be released until council decides to do so. Re the article "Mayor Snubs the Star". June 15, 1977. When reading this article, it would appear that I refused to deal with the letter from Mr. Langmann because of it's contents at last Monday nights council meeting. As you may remember. Mr. Chambers, Alderman Kirkwood asked whether 1 intended to finish the agenda. I answered "I will certainly try," 1 continued, "we can also deal with the most urgent matters and leave the rest for the next meeting." That was the procedure which I llien followed. After having dealt with the urgent matters, I asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting which was moved and supported. When leaving some fifteen articles on the agenda to bc dealt with at the next meeting, it would have been rather foolish for me as chairman to deal with something not on the agenda, especially after a motion to adjourn had been moved and supported. In conclusion I would like lo respond to one more accusation made by Mr. Chambers in the June 15th edition of the Aldergrove Star. I most certainly do not have a "long harboured secret resentment of the media." On the contrary. 1 feel the entire media has done an excellent job of reporting on all of Matsqui Council's activities. HARRY DEIONG Mayor of Matsqui By-play, intonations missed Editor. The Star, Sir, Your reporter contacted me upon receipt of the letter published last week. The word in the letter that understandably upset this gentleman was "inaccurate". I used this word as his article read as if it was taken from the minutes of the council meeting and therefore did not have the contents of an article written by an observer who had watched the by-play and heard the intonations of speech that are so vital to undcrtanding bur spoken language. It is my belief that this natural shift of view point between what is expressed and what is interpre ted from the records of others is what has gotten this gentleman in hot water and caused the tirade expressed in last week's paper. ll is ironical that I should find myself supporting Matsqui council on this matter when the public knows they and I have so many divergent views. I would also like to say that this reporter can easily attain the goals he sets for himself if he realizes that there arc no shortcuts, a super excess of work and the requirement of enough tact to fill a dozen normal lives required to be a news reporter. BLY WEBSTER Aldergrove French tomorrow, not allowed Editor, The Star, Sir, In April, my book entitled "BILINGUAL TODAY, FRENCH TOMORROW" was published by the small but courageous firm, BMG Publishing Limited, 60A Industrial Road, Richmond Hill, Ontario. Public response was immediate and sympathetic. Then on May 13, on an open-line radio program from Niagra Falls, Ontario, I was advised by the head of the French-speaking Association of Ontario that every effort was going to be made to suppress it across Canada. In an unguarded moment this same man admitted that his association is funded by Canadian federal government to the tune of $300,000 a year. In other words, the French-speaking Association of Ontario, which has its counterparts in each of our nine English-speaking provinces, is virtually an extension of the federal government, working steadily and purposefully toward Mr. Trudeau's now obvious goal of a French-dominated, and eventually a French-speaking, Canada. As the result of that conversation there is no doubt in my mind that every imaginable form of pressure will be brought to bear on storeowners and managers across Canada to prevent my book getting to the Canadian public. During my 28 years in Canada's armed forces, I firmly believed that Canada stood for freedom of speech, including the right to dissent. Under Mr. Trudeau, 1 am no longer sure. In view of the threat of suppression made against my book, 1 would appreciate an opportunity to ask those Canadians who still value their personal freedom to drop inlo their local book stores or book counters to determine for themselves whether this suppression has been put into effect. If it has, I would ask that they object strenuously, for their freedom to dissent is as threatened as mine. J.V.ANDREW Lieutenant Commander (Retired) Right on, Garde Editor. The Star, Sir. I wish to endorse and support in every possible way the attorney general's present campaign against those thoughtless perpetrators of so much human suffering and misery, the drinking drivers. Nothing other than the fear of being caught is so likely to restrain a motorist from excessive drinking right from the outset of an evening or to encourage him to go home by taxi if he has taken .rather too much liquor. As for the completely heedless, the police must simply be on hand in sufficient numbers in sufficient places sufficiently often to catch them and to rule them off the road. The availability of alcohol on every hand and at practically every social occasion these days imposes a special duty on all of us who use it to drink moderately and not to drink if we intend to take control of a motor vehicle, which has been linked by the courts to a lethal weapon. G.C. BLAIR BAILLIE 1 President British Columbia Safety Council OVER THE BACK FENCE THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1977 Grounded at 90, a terrible thing - Harold Endacott By GARY CHAMBERS You stand on the freeway overpass at 264th Street, looking east. It is sunrise and the sky is clear. In the early morning quietness with a warm wind on your back, it seems as if a new world is hidden just beyond the horizon, and you wish you could be there to see what it is like. Then the silence is shattered with the drone of an engine approaching somewhere behind you. It grows louder very quickly, shocking you back into reality as it streaks out of the tunnel beneath you and tears down the long road into the sunrise. Alone you are left with your dream - jealous of the speeding car that will probably cross the horizon in time to see the new world dawn. You are grounded, and he at the wheel is flying like a bird. What you have experienced is one of the morose moments in the life of Harold Endacott. Harold is not a particularily sullen man, mind you. In fact, he is downright amiable most of the time. It's just that Harold is 93, and he hasn't been able to drive a car for about three years now. This "ordinary Joe" used to love driving. He always loved to have a car around, one that would "really go." Ranch Hand Seventy years ago Harold Endacott was a fresh immigrant to Canada, standing before the owner of a ranch in the Okanagan Valley, applying for a job. There were "remittance men" all around at that time. Englishmen who were born into high society, but did not succeed at anything on their home shores, were given tickets to the Canadian "provinces" and were promised a monthly remittance as long as they stayed away. For an English gentleman with a black sheep son it was a Fine arrangement, but it was not such a Tine arrangement for Canadian employers. Remittance men were just as inept on these shores as they had been in Britain. Signs were posted on the gates at ranches, saying, "No Englishmen Need Apply." Harold was not a remittance man, but the signs applied to him just as well as anyone else. One can imagine the anxiety then, as he stood before the ranch owner. "Where's your blankets?" the owner asked him. "Blankets?" "Yes, we provide a bed and a roof, but no blankets." Harold Endacott soon had a bedroll tied to his back, and a new job to go with the new blankets. Caring for and working with a team of horses, Harold toiled in the fields of the Okanagan for about two years, helping to develop new properties and doing some odd jobs around the farm. At the end of his two years Endacott was ready for a change. He wanted to work for himself, and so he bought his own team of horses and started contracting himself and his livestock out on Okanagan development projects. Caterpillar tractors were unheard of at the turn of the century, so he found the marketplace quite receptive to his enterprise. "There was a depression in 1908...if you didn't have a quarter you didn't have a friend," Harold explains, illustrating how lucky he was to be successful with his horse and team. He was so successful in fact, that in no time he had a fairly large number of people working for him. Endacott hasn't worked for anyone but himself ever since. Council of Years Have you ever considered losing your sight, or at least a good portion of it? Standing on one side of the road looking across to the other,' Harold Endacott can not identify his best friend. Cataracts are the problem. Harold had them removed recently, to co-incide with the loss of his driver's license. It is a difficult thing for an active man who has lived his life to the fullest, embracing each sight as a sight to behold, to be forced to live with blurred vision. Harold weathers the storm of course, taking a philosophical attitude towards this and all the other ironies that Lady Luck dishes out when in a playful mood. He isn't happy about it of course, but on the other hand he isn't going to lose sleep over it either. Harold prefers to keep his cool. Does he talk about it? Sure he talks about it. It isn't that he likes talking about himself, he must bc coaxed to do so, but he will talk about it. Indeed, yes. How else will those who have not yet reached 93 understand what might be in store for them? Valuable lessons are to be learned in the council of the years, the most valuable of all beings the realization that life as we know it may only exist once for all of us. Reach out and live life for all you're worth is the underscore of a conversation with Harold Endacott, and Harold himself stands as a living testimony to the wisdom of that approach. At 93 his regrets are not recurrent, for they are outweighed by his evident good fortunes. The Union Bank The Union Bank of Canada closed its doors many years ago, but not too soon for Harold Endacott to do some business with them. It was after the Okanagan teamster experience. Harold and his family had located themselves in a farming community in Alberta. Turning his hand to prairie farming, Endacott purchased some livestock, some acreage to raise them on and some more acres on which to plant a crop. In his first growing season things looked pretty good. The soil was fertile and the weather was kind. "If it doesn't rain we'll have a crop", he told his wife on night at the supper table. Harold spoke too soon. A week or two later there were dark clouds gathering in an arch across the sky, spreading (heir ominous gloom over the plains. Rain poured down on the flat expanse of Harold Endacott's family farm, and not a west coast rain either, but a strong midland downpour that does not come often but wreaks havoc when it does come. The crop was washed away like a flash in a pan reducing the harvest to waste and the harvester to a pauper. Through the torrent, however, Harold kept his gambler's spirit intact. Rain may have washed away his season paycheque, but it did little to dampen his enthusiasm. He took a trip to the Union Bank of Canada and asked for an audience with the manager. He told the manager what had happened and requested a loan to feed his family and his livestock through the winter. Having never met Harold before the banker had plenty of questions about his background, which Harold answered straight from the hip. The manager told him it would take ten days to check everything out. Ten days later Endacott was back in the banker's office collecting the money. Green Thumb Until April of this year Harold lived in a two-storey older, home on 30th Avenue in Aldergrove. "That place used to be the pride of Aldergrove," he declares. There were hundreds of blooms in the garden, everything from soup to nuts in the garden flower category. Harold has long been an avid gardener and a very prolific one at that. Raised on a farm, he tends to view it as a gift he was born with. "I've always like flowers, and they like me too," he observes. All things must pass, however, ■and the gardening was no exception. Caring for a large yard full of foliage as well as a rambling old house, became a little too much. Harold sold the property and moved into a brand new home on the other side of town. There, with the help of his hired housekeeper, Juanita Harding, he leads a comfortable if less active existence. Juanita is a black woman who finds with Harold a haven from the cruel and bitter pangs of racial prejudice. Endacott in return finds some companionship, a thing equally as important at his time of life as the housekeeping. Juanita is a marvelous cook according to Endacott, and he points around the spotless living room to indicate how clean she keeps things. A few years ago, to help fill in those hours of sitting around the house with nothing to do, Harold started taking piano lessons. A fine upright piano still stands in the living room of his new home, although he no longer practises two hours a day as he did when the instrument first roused his interest. "Why should I waste my time two hours a day on that thing," he blurts, waving a flippant arm at the wall where the pianoforte stands. After much cajoling, however, Harold' will take his seat before the ivories and run up and down the scales. Rolling Home Endacott's talent for growing things was made very clear in his second year as a farmer in Alberta. In return for his grub stake at the Union Bank, Harold had given the manager a chattel mortgage on everything he owned. The arrangment was such that the Endacott family could have lost everything they had if the second year's crop did not pay. Mrs. Endacott was understandably worried, but she gathered enough moral support from her optimist husband to sec them through the long winter and the growing season. At the end of the year Harold looked out over his spread at a very fine crop and some well fattened animals. The harvest began. "Never thought I'd get finished hauling the damned thing," he reflects. The job did get done though, and the Endacotts paid off their loan and packed up their gear. For a while they stayed at the Dunsmuir Hotel in Vancouver, cooling their heels on the shores of English Bay while they contemplated the next adventure. After some thought and a little impulsive decision making Harold bought tickets for the whole family to visit his birthplace in England. Harold had left that country as a young man, to escape the clutches of a rich uncle. His uncle was a compluslive money maker, who seemed to expect the young Endacott to work like a donkey for !r Ti very low wages.' Going home for a holiday was really a display of strength on Harold's part. The whole trip was first class all the way, and his stay in England included dinner at fine restaurants and nights in opulent hotels. Fifteen years after leaving Harold Endacott returned to his home and showed them all that he could pay his own. After touring to England the family returned to Vancouver just in time for Harold to catch the Spanish Flu. It was one of the worst flu epidemics ever to hit the Lower Mainland. "Big strong men went out like a candle," recalls Harold. He remembers laying half conscious on a hospital cot while a few men stood in the aisle weighing the situation. "This guy will go out in the wagon soon," remarked one with a motion toward Harold's bed. Bouncing Back Harold did not leave hospital in a wagon after his flu bout, he walked out just the same way he had come in, with a few minor changes. Although he had survived the Spanish Flu Endacott was to feci its effects for some time to come. It left him with a condition which prohibited his constant travelling through various different weather zones. He was forced to start searching for a less cxertive way to make a living. Harold found what he was searching for in a small grocery business in Surrey, near the Fraser River. The business he bought was not considered to be the most profitable of its kind in those days, but in his own style Endacott soon managed to fix that. Within a year or so he had the store paying a decent profit, and the family was once again headed toward a fairly comfortable existence. He might have stayed in Surrey for a considerable length of time had it not been for the fog on the Fraser. The low slung cloud cover would drift over the river and complicate his health problems. Once again a new business was sought and this time a landing was made in Aldergrove. Endacott bought a grocery store in the same block where Quiring's Motors now stands. His closest competitor was Dobson's Grocery which stood where the Royal Bank is presently located. ■ Competition was stiff for some time, with each grocer trying to show the other the way out of town. Endacott was at a decided disadvantage as his competitor, Dobson, had more to fall back on. In addition to the store, Dobson also owned a hotel on Jackman Road. Time worked things out, however, and Endacott eventually bought out Dobson's store, becoming one of the major grocery suppliers in Aldergrove's history to date. He remained in that business until 1948, at which time he entered the auctioneering profession for a brief period, and then went into the real estate game with his partner, William Epp. 'Endacott and Epp' was one of the first real estate firms to establish in Aldergrove.

He remembers telling the bank that he was waiting for his customers to pay so that he could pay the bank. "Why don't you put them in court?" the bank asked him. "Hell man, I know these people...you c^n't get blood from a stone," wds Harold's reply. Harold was right too, because his business grew and prospered, providing his family with a comfortable, if hectic lifestyle, and the bank with a respected depositor. Lonely Days When you get older people just don't want to know you, according to Harold. Little things change. People seem impatient when you cross the street, everyone seems to be in a hurry, and you get the feeling you are in their way. "Everyone must grow old," we offer. "Yes, but it's a terrible thing to be lonely." he replies. Indeed, Harold Endacott has been lonely many times in his life. He can recall sitting alone for days, weeks and months upon end. Quite freely he discloses what loneliness does to a person. He reveals that being alone for great lengths of time can actually make a person wish it were all over. Suicide was never contemplated, of course, but there were times in Harold Endacott's life when a quiet death from natural causes would have been welcome. Sad? Sure it's sad, but not as sad as you might think. Today Harold is not so lonely and he is able to look back on that period when he was with a grain of salt and a twinkle in his eye. Harold Endacott can afford to be smug about it. He is able to sit back at 93 and listen to the young ones ask him the secret of his longevity. "I've had a long and colorful life," he replies, "1 wouldn't have missed the years before the war (W.W.I) for anything. You'll never see times like those again. ' 'They ask me how I live so long and I tell them I don't know how you doit. I just live it!" Did Sandy Benson have to compete with a motorcycle after she married Jack?

PLUMBING ft HEATING WATER PUMPS fahj it Sjfwcg Sales Ik Installation of HALLMARK 856268S 27412 Frnser Hwy., Aldergrove In 1969, the Elks and their auxiliary, the Order of the Royal Purple committed themselves to a national program which would promote the early identification of hearing impairment and assist in providing the best possible services to the hearing impaired. Since the inception of the Elks Purple Cross Deaf Detection and Development Program, over $200,000.00 has been committed to honor the Orders' agreement with the Province of British Columbia. The Elks Purple Cross Deaf Detection and Development Program and the Government of British Columbia engaged in a previous cooperative, cost sharing project when the two co- sponsored the purchase of the province's audiomobile. Since that time the Elks national program has provided funds for audiological services and/or equipment in the Kelowna, Prince George and Trail Health Units. The current cooperative project between the Ministry of Health, Province of British Columbia, and the Elks Purple Cross Deaf Detection and Development Program will provide permanent audiological facilities for several areas of British Columbia. Prince George was the first community to benefit from this cost sharing project when permanent audio- logical facilities were established in that community in 1973. The Province of British Columbia, Speech and Hearing Services, is currently engaged in expanding hearing facilities in the province, and the Elks participation and cooperation will make audiological facilities available in New Westminster and Cranbrook much sooner than had been originally planned. Adult offenders in job placement VICTORIA — A job placement program for adult offenders was initiated as a LIP project in December 1975. As a result of the success of the project, it was further supported in August 1976 by the B.C. Corrections Service and most recently expanded to include job finding services for juveniles - funded by Manpower Outreach and B.C. Corrections, Lynne Northfield of the B.C. Corrections Branch reports. This program has demonstrated that probationers, some with few marketable skills and little education, could secure and maintain employment when assisted by an employment coordinator. In working with young people, it appears that the first full- time job plays a paramount role in channeling his or her energies and desires in the direction of a productive, non-delinquent, contributing member of the community, Northfield says. Subsidies of up to 85 percent of the employee's wages are available through existing programs to assist in the initial training of the employee. Job finders are continually seeking employment possibilities for their clients. If you know of an interested employer, contact Northfield at 261*0277. The two hardest words The fine art of swallowing camels By Rev. K.NEILL FOSTER The campaign against Chile continues unabated; its crime as a nation - it repudiated Marxism and escaped from the bloodbath Salvador Allcndc was preparing for. A couple of recent news items illustrate the point. Yet another commission on Human Rights issues a condemnation of Chile. And Vice-President Mondale meets with the former Chilean President Eduardo Frei - a calculated insult to the ruling military leaders in Chile. Even if all the accusations against Chile are true, the "crimes" of the anti-Marxist military are nowhere near the magnitude of the crimes against Cambodia where as many as two million people have been eliminated since the fall of Phnom Penh. Newsweek calls the Cambodian stories "not totally reliable." The refugees are accused of lying. But Cambodia's present leader openly admits the population is two million less than it was. As for Chile, I visited the country three weeks after Al* lende's demise. The North American press reports were mostly untrue at that time. That they are true now is certainly questionable. So Chile is horrible indeed - while Cambodian refugees are not to be believed. Such gross inconsistency has its price. Who can believe a press so obviously slanted and distorted? Certainly we need to be pained when Chileans suffer as they obviously do. But we need to be aghast at whatis happening in Cambodia. Th*ose''who pine for the misguided Marxists who lost a country they nearly had may do so. But if they ignore Cambodia's bleeding millions to harp on political nuances, they are straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. By STANLEY H. CHURCHILL Two of the most necessary and gracious words in the English language, yet at the same time perhaps the two hardest to' say, arc: "I'm sorry!" Hard to say, yes - for they include the admission 1 recognize I was wrong. But they also convey the healing message that instead of clinging to my mistake and defending it, bulldozer fashion, I now reject the position as wrong. How many hurts and misunderstandings in this world can be prevented or healed by those two words, "I'm sorry!" It takes humility to say this, and mean it, for pride rebels and human wilfulness hates to yield, for they hide behind the error and would impel us to defend it. If we heed these unruly elements of the caral mind, we quickly find ourselves in the untenable position of Sir Launcelot, the outstanding knight of King Arthur's Round Table. Describing his unfortunate and fatal infatuation for Queen Guin- ivcre, the poet wrote of him: "Faith unfaithful kept him falsely true." The sincere admission of one's mistake, and regret for it, goes far to disarm resentment, and dissolve the feelings of injury and hurt in the thoughts of the others concerned. "I'm sorry!" paves the way for reconciliation, healing, and renewed harmony. Christ Jesus presents the total situation with crystal clarity in his parable of the prodigal son, in the New Testament, Luke 15:11 - 32. All the elements are laid before us - the ungrateful wastrel - the journey to the "far country" where his riotous living resulted in the famine and guant suffering which awakened him to his wrongdoing - his resolve and return to his father - "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son... Make me as one of thy hired servants." This paved the way for the father's forgiveness and restoration of his sonship, illustrating the father's illimitable love for each one of us. Then the elder brother's surly self- righteousness, which called forth from the father that eternal promise of security and joy for every one of his children, "Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine." "I'm sorry!" It's the first rung on the ladder up out of the pit of wrongdoing and despair. But that rung can only be used, and that ladder climbed only when the error is both recognized, and abandoned, and the resolve to make amends is totally sincere. Mary Baker Eddy speaks of this in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures:- "Sorrow for wrong-doing is but one step towards reform and the very easiest step. The next and great step required by wisdom is the test of our sincerity. - namely, reformation." (p. 5). But further, to make effective and permanent the needed changes in character, she adds this counsel later in the book:- "Hold thought steadfastly to the enduring, the good, and the true, and you will bring these into your experience proportionably to their occupancy of your thoughts, (p. 261). Next Sunday, June 26, the subject of the lesson-sermon at all Christian Science churches is: "Christian Science." The readings from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures make clear many facts about this religion, which heals sin and all manner of discordant human conditions, including sickness. A cordial invitation is extended to sincere seekers for truth.

The Grande Finale In the Paul Rlddell's stunt show was the Cannon, Stunt driver at Mission Hockey registration this week The Paul Riddell stunt drivers were at Mission Drag Strip on Wednesday evening, and showed the people their driving skills of doing weaves at high speed, ramps at high speeds one behind the other. The star of the show turned out to be 13 year old Scott Riddell who, went Don Chadwick put the 77 pinto on two wheels, got out once stood on top. The other stunt Scott would do was to get on the back of a 77 Thunderbird and holding onto a rope have the drivers doing the weave and go over the ramps at '70 mph. The finale of the whole thing was what is called the cannon as a 77 Ford Courier would go through a tube then a explosive charge would be set off as it came out the pick-up would land on a ramp. Over the evening it was a very good show. The one and only registration for the 1977-78 minor hockey season in Aldergrove will take place this weekend at the Aldergrove Ice Arena.

The fire permit is required from the 15th of April until the end of the fire season, sometime in September or October, depending on conditions.

At least an hour before planting out, the flower bed should be thoroughly wetted, preferably to a depth of about two feet. It is even better to do this the day before. Whatever plants you are buying, choose those that are short and sturdy with strong green leaves. Don't buy anything that looks as though it may be dried out. Try not to leave any flats or containers of plants in the car for too long. If by any chance you are not going to transplant your purchases immediately when you get home, give them a thorough watering and place them in the shade. If your flower bed is ready then get them in as quickly as possible. Unless you know the plant's requirements well, it is advisable to read up about them. They may want full sun or partial shade. They may like lime or prefer an acid soil. They may dislike constant watering, such as petunias and geraniums, or they may want plenty of water at all times such as sweet peas or astilbes. Find out whether they will require staking or if they do better if pinched back such as snapdragons or clarkia. Most important, find out how far apart they should be planted. Some plants need far more room than they are usually given. So you are ail ready to transplant. To do the job properly you will require a trowel, some starter solution, readily obtainable from any garden shop, and a kneeling mat unless you want to mess up your pants and probably get a backache. Tip the container upside down and hold in the plants gently with fingers beside but not on the plants. Give the bottom of the container a sharp knock and all the contents will usually come out easily. If they don't, run a knife around the edges. If the plants are close together they will have to be eased out very slowly, trying not to damage the roots too much. If they are well apart, it is sometimes better to cut them out in squares with a sharp knife. Dig out a small hole with the trowe.i (the soil should of course still be wet) and get the plants in as rapidly as possible. Place them in the dug holes and give them each about a cupful of starter solution. This will minimize shock and give healthy fast-growing plants. When all the plants are in, go over the ground with a small hand fork and level out any knee holes or foot marks. Now is the time to give these plants a mulch. The ground is well watered and (I presume) weed free. Up to one inch of peat moss spread up to the plants is ideal. This will keep in the moisture and prevent weeds from coming through. I have forgotten to mention that all transplanting is better done in the evening. If it is likely that the following day will be sunny and hot, it is advisable to give the new transplants some protection. I find the best method is to use a proped up sheet of plywood.

They will probably only need this for two days at the most. What else? Nothing really. You have given the plants the best treatment you can and all you will have to battle against are the pests that like nothing better than a young succulent plant. I lost many asters from slugs until I put a saucer of stale beer in the middle of the bed. They seem to like that better. Although I have not yet tried out the dodge, I like the idea of spreading ordinary chicken grit or powdered egg shells around young plants. * * * When watering the garden during a hot spell such as we have been going through, don't forget to keep the compost heap moist. Bacteria will not work on dry material. * • * I am finding more and more uses for paper or plastic cups that have had their base removed. Try twisting these over lettuce seedlings and leaving them there. The finished lettuce will have all the leaves above the ground and unmuddied from soil splash.

Since they're one of the principal materials used in our homes, fabric characteristics and care should be carefully considered before making decisions. Happily, due to synthetics, most fabrics are now exempt, from the extreme problems our grandmothers lived with, yet many have characteristics that can be potential problems, if you are unaware of them. SAGGING - affects all fabrics though usually only to a small degree, less than two per cent: Several factors may be responsible where noticable changes occur. Sudden, extreme changes in humidity will cause either the shrinking or sagging or draperies. The heavier more open weaves are also prone particularly where the weft (horizontal fibres) are heavier than the warp or vertical fibres. ' Fabrics can also be checked to make sure they've been pfeM shrunk before being made up and the drapery workroom should allow a couple of weeks either before or after they've been installed before those fabrics suseptible to changes, are given their finished hems. ROTTING - Sunlight can cause total deterioration of a fabric and the fading or bleaching of the color. Rayon, nylon, silk and sheer cottons are more sensitive, but with intense sunlight all fabrics should be lined, Darker colors, particularly fugitive colors such as violets will show evidence of color change more rapidly than lighter, neutral colors. MILDEW and FUNGUS should be of little concern with ample light and air movement but these together with moths and weevils should be guarded against by protective finishes, if fabrics are to be subjected to many months in an unoccupied or seldom used home such as a summer cottage. Despite these inherent problems, fabrics provide warmth, luxury, comfort and insulation, qualities few if any other materials can even begin to offer. Woven or printed, lined or backed, synthetic or natural fibre, each must also be considered for the use to which it will be subjected, one of the most important factors if they are to give you the years of performance you're after. THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1977 .9 Army tops fund quota 25% JUBILEE — Gordon Stenner. campaign chairman with the Salvation Army's local Red Shield Campaign, reports that campaign has exceeded its 1977 goal of S8.000.00 by a whopping 25 percent. A blitz of private residences alone grossed a figure of about $9,000.00. and with donations from businesses added that figure climbed to $9,721.00. Later, after the money had been credited through the bookkeeping system at the Army's headquarters, further late donations were received pushing the total slightly over the $10,000.00 mark. Stenner chalked up the "hard work and diligent efforts of about 230 community-minded citizens" as the prime reason for the unprecedented success of the fund drive. About $2,000.00 of the money raised locally has been deposited locally. It will be used as part of an emergency fund for a Rural Continued on page 12 4-H clubs from the Aldergrove STdT-SSSK Surplus recycling returned to community Saturday for a judging competl- ALDERGROVE — Profits from operation of the Aldergrove Recycling Shop have been split evenly between the Canadian National Institute of the Blind, and Langley Memorial Hospital.

The reorganization would eliminate the position of primary supervisor. Teachers shared the concern that primary instruction would be de-emphasized in the coming school year. Also, teachers deplored the manner in which Mrs. Houghton's position was terminated. It appeared that little regard was being given her profressional reputation and expertise which are widely acknowledged within the province. Overwhelming support was given to motions calling for individual letters from teachers to trustees and the ministry of education, and a letter from the Langley Primary Teachers' Association to the ministry. Teachers left the meeting with the expressed intent of focusing on the elimination of this position and their concerns for the primary program within the district. Library "Time -Machine" reading club starts Jenkins' international family reunion COUNTY LINE — A belated recognition ot Garnet and Signc Jenkins' 35th wedding anniversary and Signc's mother Kristina Ekberg's 98th birthday brought Jenkins' seven children home from afar for a family reunion last Saturday. The family that came the furthest was the oldest daught er's. Drs. David and Donna Sirbasku. of Huston, Texas. Donna is a staff pathologist at the D.V.A. Hospital in Houston and her husband David is a noted cancer research bio-chemist at the University of Texas. Other members of the family are Daniel and Patrick Jenkins and their families from Edmon* Present brings tears of joy By MERILYN ANDERSON ABBOTSFORD — Exciting things have been happening during this last week in Abbotsford school district 34. First there was a great big party at Maple Grove school to honor two verywonderful people. It was a retirement party for Maple Grove school bus driver Bill Wiebe. Constable Farrell of the Matsqui police force was there to say a few words in praise of Bill. He stated that Bill has had 25 accident-free years driving his bus for the school. This is indeed a good record and Bill is to be commended, plus being a good example to follow. The mothers of the students got together and purchased a beautiful watch which was presented to Bill at the party as a momento for long years of faithful service. Bill was very pleased with the gift and said that every time he looked at the time he would remember the children of Maple Grove school who have been his friends for so long. The other part of the party was for Ann Pritchard who was a teacher-aide at the school and is moving to New Brunswick to open a restaurant/craft centre in the holiday resort of St. Andrews-by- the-Sea. Ann was presented a lovely birthstone ring as a going away gift from the children. When Ann recieved the ring she was so happy with the gift she burst into tears and soon had just about everyone there in tears as well. She was happy to know everyone thought so much of her. Bill and Ann were also presented with cakes in the shape of a bus for Bill and a diaper for Ann which represents a private joke at the school. Cakes were made by Vicky Ryding and Mrs. Edge with the gifts being presented by Reata Davison. The lunch for the party was prepared by the students with help from one of the teachers. There were lots of tears and shouts of good bye from the students with everyone wishing Bill and Ann well in their new lives ahead of them. Towers"" 534-3633 Langlty Flower Shop| ton.

Last OAPO dance ALDERGROVE — A large crowd was on hand to enjoy the last dance of the season at the OAPO hall on 273rd Street. A presentation on behalf of the Recycling Business in Aldergrove was made by Mrs. M. Franklin to the C.N.l.B. of New Westminster of $1,000 and also to Langley Memorial Hospital of 11,000 being the surplus profits donated to worthly charities. The door prize at the dance was won by Edna Anderson of Haney; the spot dance winners were Mrs. G. Agar and Mrs. D. Munrow. The hall will be closed all the month of July to allow for repairs and the floor is to be sanded and re finished. ALDERGROVE — Local children will be able to travel backwards and forwards in time this summer as members of the Fraser Valley Regional Library system's Time Machine reading club. The Aldergrove branch at 3078 - 271 Street; the Mt. Lehman branch; the Langley branch at Maple Grove attend "Operation Trackshoes' in Victoria By MERILYN ANDERSON ABBOTSFORD — Maple Grove school of Abbotsford school district attended the "Operation Trackshoes" track meet in Victoria this last weekend of June 18 and 19. This track meet is held for the benefit of the handicapped youngsters of the province. The young people of Maple Grove school took weeks in preparation of the event. You could feel the generation of excitment as the day for the meet approached; anticipation and eagerness was running high for this annual event. Maple Grove youngsters came away with four firsts in various events. There were many categories for the students to enter, from the sack race to hurdles, 50-meter dash to a wagon race. Sabina Slode came in first for the 50-meter dash and the wagon race. Nine-year-old Brian Edge won the sack race and Pat Piccon was first in the hurdles. Maple Grove was well represented by these youngsters in Victoria and had a very exciting weekend to boot. They all loved the ferry ride over and found the sparkling waves of the sea invigorating. After it was all over they were just as glad to come home after enjoying themselves so, and being able to show off their winning ribbons.

They are accepting registrations until July 14. The , club will run from June 26 to the end of August. When children join the club they will receive a Time Macine operator's licence and a Timely Tips bookmark. The theme of the club was borrowed from science fiction writer H.G. Wells' book, "The Time Macine". The author wrote about a complicated invention which could transport man to any year he desired with a few twirls of knobs and dials and a little mathematical calculation. Man could go forward to the year 2000 or back to the year 1 and step out of the machine and into a cave and find himself being attacked . by a dinosaur. Last year's detective theme, Super Snooper, attracted more than 4,000 children from communities stretching between Lad- ner and Hope. Staff members are predicting an increase in popularity. Most of the branches are busy building replicas of Wells' magical machine for display in library lobbies and some local schools have volunteered to assist providing the free-wheeling imaginations of the volunteer child- helpers proving to be the best time Machine builders. Tin foil, kitchen gadgets, cardboard, jumper cables and even Christmas lights are becoming part of the displays. The time machines will play a very special role in the actual operation of the reading club. Each 'time traveller' will have a reading record which will be kept at the library. Every time a book has been completed the time travellers will come to the library, put the title on their records and "feed" the information into the time machine. Club members will be allowed to read any library books they wish; choosing from adventure, romance, mystery, humor, sports and horse stories in the fiction' section, or from non-fiction such as go-karting, weaving, puppy care or swimming. At the end of] the summer all participating children, no matter how many books they have read, will receive a special parchment certificate at branch ceremonies or parties. In addition to the reading portion of the club, many branch libraries are planning special program activities throughout the summer to fit in with the time theme, including original puppet shows, roaring twenties films, pirate treasure hunts, pioneer hay rides, pre-historic cave paint-ins, costume parties and the burying of real time capsules for opening in 2077 A.D. "This club is strictly for fun." stresses Betty Gibb, co-ordinator of children's services for Fraser Valley Regional Library, "lt is not a contest, nor a race to read the most books in the shortest period of time." "We would like the children to discover all those books that they didn't have time for during the school year." she said.* "We hope the children will forget that old rhyme •• 'no more pencils, no more books' when they leave school for holidays. Books can be perfect companions while visiting summer cottages, camp or the beach. Even the 'stay-at-homes' can travel anywhere in time with our books and their imaginations." There is no age-limit for members of the club. In fact, even pre-schoolers can join as 'read-tome" members, if their parents wish to assist. Library cards will be necessary to check out the books and these arc free on application at any of the branches. The newest eating experience in the Valley — Try our gourmet food and hospitality....

In Memoriam In memory of Matthew Hig- ginson, who passed away June 24, 1972: Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear, Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach, Sweet to remember him who was here Who gone away, is just as dear. Ever remembered by his loving wife, Margaret, children and grandchildren. 25-3809-1 4. Engagements a Weddings Need help. Is 'eight your problem.

Because International Harvester has its very roots in the farm community, we not only understand the problem, we also have some answers, many of which are built right Into our new Loadstar. I-H Is proud to introduce the only all-new V-8'3 available in medium duty trucks this year. Our goal was to Improve performance and yet reduce gas consumption. The result Is a pair of engines, the MV-404 and 446, and the DT-466, the first rebuildable mid-range high-torque diesel engine. With these options, you can determine precisely which engine choice Is suited to your farm leds. To handle the increased torque, every new Loadstar comes with an all-new high-torque, high load standard rear axle, that employs a larger ring gear and a higher rating (up to 34,000 lbs.). The radiator has been enlarged, electronic Ignition is standard, the fuse box Is In the glove box, and Ihe optional easy-access fibreglass hood and fender assembly makes service workbench-easy. There are 267 different models of the Loadstar to choose irom, so you can tailor II to your exact requirements. The "Gold Star" program prepackages various models with power, drive-train, frame, brakes, wheel-base, transmission and body all designed to work together perfectly. Superior performance (up to 2& h.p. and 385 Ib. ft. torque on the 446); superior fuel economy (up to 15% better gas mileage In an ever-ch'ariging world, there is one sure decision.

Shop around and bility (on-road tests Indicate that these compare Loadstar, with the help ol engines will last up to 50% longer than experienced truck salespeople at Klsh. engines of similar displacement).

The last vestiges of "those dear old golden rule days" will be locked away light as a drum in a few weeks when Jubilee school closes its door for the last time. Eleven students attended the one room school-house this term and the expected enrollment for the 1977*78 term is even lower and therefore schoolboard authorities cannot justify keeping the building in operation another year. Those who were scheduled to attend Jubilee next year will be sent to Bradner elementary school instead. Long History Organized education in the Jubilee area has a history that spans eight decades. It began in 1897 with the construction of a log cabin school on Satchel) Road. Total community effort was required to establish the school before the turn of the century as there was little if any help available from the government. The old Jubilee log school lasted until 1922 when it was replaced by the present one room school-house on Bradner Road. Provincial authorities in 1922 were prepared to subsidize the construction of schools provided twelve or more pupils could be assured. "They managed to scare up the twelve kids." explains Bill McCormick. an old-timer who attended the old log cabin school- house, on an acre of land donated by his father. He says the first teacher hired at the old log building in 1897 was Grace Marshall. McCormick tells of an evening when Mrs. Marshall was sitting down to dinner at the home of one of her pupils. She is reported to have said to the master of the house (or cabin as it may have been) that she was doing her best to teach the children, but she was not sure if she was earning her pay. "She got $40 a month and paid $12for her room andboard at one of the local places," McCormick reveals. He describes her situation, and her sense of values as "unbelievable" by present standards. The first teacher at the new school in 1922 Ethel Manuel who lived with her family about three miles from the school when she took the job. Members of her family, still living in the area recall her hitching up a horse and leaving for work early each morning in an open buggy. Some nights, during the rainy season, it was not uncommon for Miss Manuel to find it impossible to get home along the mucky roads, and so she would bed down at one of the homes in the area. The present Jubilee school was built by Nils Oland, a carpenter who used to live in the Mt. Lehman area. Nils raised the building on a one acre parcel of land purchased from Charles Rist. Teaching Generations During its peak period the Jubilee school had a classroom population of about 25 to 30 students, covering all the grades. At that time students were responsible for the heating of the building. School board workers delivered cords of wood to the building and left it at that. Pupils were required to go into the basement and stoke the furnace, as well as the smaller wood burning heater on the main floor. They were also expected to cut the wood into burnable lengths, of course. The teacher who probably spent the longest time at Jubilee school was Elsie Warkentin, who later became Mrs. Isaac. The late Mrs. Isaac taught at the school for 18 years before her passing three years ago. In eighteen years she managed to teach the children of some of the children she had taught at the start of her Jubilee career. Miss Lucy Owen, who taught in the building many years ago is the last surviving member of the teaching staff living in this area. She resides on Mt. Lehman Road. Members of the janitorial staff include Mrs. Mary Hill who worked in the school for about 10 or 12 years until sometime in the fifties, and Mrs. Emma Love who is just now completing her ninth year as the school's janitor. John Evano, who was one of the school's first custodians was Mrs. Love's father. Still Hope Plainly, the Jubilee school holds a lot of memories for the people of this area. Most sources contacted during the research for this report expressed sadness over the closure, although many concede that there is no other course of action right now. There is still some hope, ■however. Some people feel the school might make a fine kindergarten if enough pupils can be found. Bill McCormick on the other Driver in hospital ALDERGROVE — A single-car accident on River Road north of here Monday night sent Franz Langmann to MSA Hospital with hip injuries. Langmann was pinned between the small car and a tree before being freed by a search and rescue team from Matsqui. hand thinks that the school may even bc opened again by the school board. "There's a lot of people moving in, and there might bc 20 (pupils) moving in next year. You just don't know." he said. As the building is more than 75 years old there is also the possibility that it could bc turned into an historic site. Matsqui school trustees have not yet decided the ultimate fate of the building. Economics and common sense have forced the closure, but there is a chance that nostalgic values may bc an active consideration in future debates on the issue. In the interim, it appears the future of the place is uncertain. Some historic items, such as an old brass school bell, a scrap book dating back many years and a guest book will be placed on display either at Bradncr elementary or al the museum in Abbotsford. As for the building itself, however, there is not so much as speculation as to what the board intends to do. The next board meeting is scheduled for June 24 and some future for the structure may bc mapped out then.
