George Preston, that is. The former district mayor who, after being absent from the political scene for two years has decided to try for a comeback. Preston, first elected to council in the fall elections of 1971, was ousted by namesake George Driediger four years later with a very slim spread in the number of votes separating the two. When he first came onto the local political arena Preston was part of a 'machine', a heavily promoted slate of four, three of whom made it, ousting then Mayor Bill Poppy and two of his aldermen. This was not appreciated by the old guard, and during his two terms in office Preston almost continuously fought a majority of never less than four contrite aldermen. This year George has decided to run on his own. That way, he says, people will either vote for George Preston or they will not vote for George Preston. Either way is fine with him. But at least, he says, there will be no one there to pull him up or down. He will be making it • if he indeed does — entirely on his own strength. Lonesome George. However, don't let this moniker fool you. George Preston is not all that lonesome. As a matter of fact, he has already quite an extensive machine set into motion in order to insure the return of George Preston on November 19. George Preston ... vows to return Better than 10 weeks ahead. Last Thursday afternoon a press conference was called by one of George Preston's lieutenants, and the local press types who already were 99.9 percent sure of the former mayor's intentions witnessed the resurgence of a determined man. "It is with a great deal of concern for the community where 1 live, the district of Langley, that I wish to announce my fervent desire to become the mayor of Langley once again," Preston said in his short introductory statement. "People from all sections of the municipality and from all walks of life have asked me to seek re-election to the mayor's job." Questioned by your reporter, George Preston, a Langley city automotive dealer, expressed strong criticism of the present administration on a number of points. Too much secrecy, not enough inter-municipal cooperation, an abundance of parochialism on the regional district level, too high taxes and not enough public services were but the highlights in Preston's attack. And planning for the future of Langley, accord- . ing to the former mayor, is not taking place. , "We all know (the number of hours) being spent behind closed doors by the present administration," Preston charged, adding that his own council never ran "a secret organization." "Planning for the future," he said, "is not taking place, and if it is, then it is all done really secretly." On the subject of a possible amalgamation of the two Langleys, the township and the city, Preston said that he had met with municipal staff in the public works department and had been told that a re-joining of the two districts was not only desirable but would probably come about within five years at the most. Mayor George Driediger has also expressed an interest in amalgamation, and in this regard Preston said that "it is ironical that those who have destroyed cooperation between the two Langleys should now advocate it (amalgamation)." There have been recent skir mishes between the two councils culminating in the separation of the former joint recreation commission last spring. "If the Langley area works on a spirit of amalgamation," Preston said, "it can come about in five years or so." But, he stressed, it would not be a return to the ward system whereby council officials are elected to represent individual sections of the municipality such as Aldergrove, Fort Langley, Murrayville and so on. Preston said the divorce of the city from the district when it happened in 1955 was "important in the first place", but that re-unification now was equally important. The split originated when a number of businessmen in Langley Prairie (now Langley City) stuck their heads logether, thought they were paying excessive taxes to Murrayville and receiving but little in return. Consequently they seceded and the city forged ahead on its own. Besides battling George Driediger for the mayor's seat, George Preston will also be taking on Bill Blair or Jock Lindsay, the district's two elected representatives to the Central Fraser Valley regional district. Preston is fully determined to win one of the seats on the seven-man board as well. There is too much strife and too much parochialism on this board, he said, and while considering the board totally ineffective 'Battle' page 2 POLITICS MAKES STRANGE BEDFELLOWS Landowner, Satan's Angels and authorities reach understanding GLEN VALLEY - One of the swiftest curve balls ever thrown in local politics was pitched by Jim Holmes of Matsqui over the holiday weekend, with the help of a motorcycle club. Holmes still has a few more innings to go before he can say he has won his ball game with the government, but in the meantime he has at least made his point very cjear to all concerned. On | Saturday, Mayor Harry DeJong of Matsqui telephoned Holmes and told the irate landowner that he was rather concerned about the large crowd of people gathering in .his meadow on the banks of the Fraser River. The mayor was concerned largely because of the nature of this crowd. The people who were* occupying a large field on Holmes' property were all members and friends of the Satan's Angels motorcycle club from Vancouver. The "Angels" have been trying to stage a weekend rock concert in this area for about two years but have repeatedly been confronted with bylaws which prohibit such an evil thing. Over the holiday weekend, however, the "Angels" and Jim Holmes demonstrated once and for all that when it comes right down to the nitty gritty, people are much stronger than any law on the books. To explain the whole story in full one must first point out that there are no heroes in this epistle. Indeed, this is a story about a group of people who are not what they appear to be. Let's start with Jim Holmes, the disgruntled landowner. / WHEN THEY TOLD HIM that they didn't think It was very tunny, reporter Phil Anderson was absolutely shocked. He couldn't see anything wrong with giving everybody an extra day off school by reporting an Incorrect date In last week's Star. On the surface it might appear that Holmes is "an outraged minnow, struggling against the tides of injustice", when in fact he is only a landowner who would like to speculate a little bit on his property. He is not a shrinking violet, nor is he a devil's advocate. He is simply a man — a man who wants the government to leave him alone to do as he wishes with his land. Then there's the local government. Matsqui council might appear as a select group of bureaucrats 'What' page 2 Parks people ponder pollution problem '.«ds**».rfk.i'.a.'fc.. VANCOUVER - Bud Elsie, a senior official with the Greater Vancouver regional district parks department announced in a press release last week that the GVRD will be studying pollution problems at Aldergrove Lake this fall. The release stated that over 1,500 people visit the lake at any one time during the summer months, and the lake is only 2'/i acres in total area. During that peak season the GVRD tests the water quality twice daily according to Elsie and so far no health problems have Fall fair Sept.,10& 11 The Aldergrove Fall Fair which will be held in the Elks Hall on September 10 and 11 will, be opened on Saturday, September 10 at 2:00 p.m. by Dr. Warren D. Kitts, Dean of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, U.B.C. been recorded at GVRD headquarters. He said the regional government has spent over (40,000 improving the park's parking facilities, and changing it from a campsite to a picnic ground. "Efforts have been made to eliminate or significantly reduce turdibity in the lake," he said. The six-hundred acre park where Aldergrove Lake is located is just north of the US border on 272 Street and 8 Avenue, Elsie's press release comes on the heels of a minor controversy which developed two weeks ago when a local resident revealed that his child had contracted a serious stomach infection after swimming in the water hole. The resident revealed that his family doctor harbored suspicions that the water quality at the lake was responsible for the infection. Subsquent investigation by The Star confirmed that the doctor was indeed concerned. Luncheon Pacific National at the Exhibition lamb competition was preferred by 17-month-old Mike Sullivan ot Aldergrove. PNE is now over for another year, with a record attendance In 1977. Local planners discuss terms of study ALDERGROVE — A usually reliable source reports that planners ifrom the Central Fraser Valley regional board, the district of Langley and the district of Matsqui, met at least once in the past week to discuss terms of reference for a planning study of a proposed 800-acre industrial park in north Aldergrove. The Gloucester Properties proposal would see 800 acres of land, presently zoned for farm use, swallowed by industry. Developer Ainslie Loretto is presently engaged in a running battle with all three of the government bodies to get local approval of the concept so she can put it before the provincial land commission. Last week The Star reported that the regional board and the councils are ready to undertake a RED FACED DEPARTMENT Hope it's not too kite ALDERGROVE — We at The Star are so kind hearted that sometimes we get ourselves into serious trouble, what with one thing and another. You take last week when we received our annual press release from the Langley school board, telling us what day the kids were supposed to go back to school. The press release clearly stated that the children were due back in class on the 7th of September, that's today by the way. Anyway, we thought it would be nice if the kids had an extra long holiday this year, so we decided to give them another day off. We didn't think it would do much harm, after all. So we simply reported in last week's edition that instruction would start in local schools on the 8th of September, that being tomorrow. The school board was not impressed with this innovation. In fact, they were somewhat disturbed. We like the people at the school board. We like everybody. We don't want anyonuto be mad at us, so we hope we are not too late to correct this horrendous error. Would all parents please send their children to school immediately! Right now. Thank you. study of the project provided the developer agrees to pay the bill. Loretto indicated in that report that she would be prepared to foot the bill but would like to- be consulted on the terms of reference the study group would have. This week, word filtering down is that the meetings took place to give planners a chance to air their professional views on the project and discuss a framework for the study to be built on. Meanwhile, Loretto has been attending meetings of her own. The developer met Tuesday with officials of the B.C. Hydro Railway to discuss rail service into the development if the proposal gains approval from government. She said the railway had spur lines drawn all over a map of the projected industrial park, but almost all of these lines were removed by Gloucester primarily due to their proximity with residential development. The official of Gloucester Properties said she can understand the concerns of some local residents regarding things like train tracks and truck routes, but she added that these are her concerns as well. Loretto revealed that all roads leading in, out or around the property would be paved to a 58-foot width with four feet of curb and sidewalk on either side. She also dispelled concerns expressed by a local resident earlier in the week over water tables in the north Aldergrove region. Most homes in that area gather their water from underground wells, and the industrial site would do the same. Loretto said test drilling has taken place near 272 Street and water has been found at a depth of about 350 feet which could pump up about 6,000 gallons per minute using the correct plumbing system. She explained that this type of water supply is larger and deeper than the supplies which serve homes and farms, and is suited more to industry. To reach the massive water reserve the test drillers had to bore right past at least one other major water supply at a lesser depth. The homes in the area would be working on wells which are at a higher elevation and thus the two water sources would not detract from one another, Loretto said. She said she is hoping to get together with Langley district planning officer Ken Major again in the near future to discuss new developments in the plan, such as the trimming of spur railway lines and possible methods of solving problems of concern to local residents. FLOOR SPACE SEVENTY PERCENT LEASED Matt edges newer to completion ALDERGROVE — Ken Poon of Beedie Construction told The Star Tuesday that the new Aldergrove Centre is almost seventy percent leased in terms of square footage. The shopping mall, which will cover about 123,000 square feet of Hillbilly Day Sept. 17th JUBILEE — The traditional annual Hillbilly Day will be held here on Saturday, September 17. As usual there will bc bingo, horseshoe pitching, children's hillbilly wak, shoe scramble, coin hunt for the kiddies, concessions and beer garden, and, of course, the famous Jubilee Hillbilly tug of war against teams from Bradner, Matsqui and other localities. There will be fun for the entire family on top of the old Pemberton Hill north of Bradner from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. A cabaret dance follows Saturday night. For tickets to the dance, phone the Jubilee community club at 856-2426. The afternoon's activities are free, and everyone is welcome. Y'all come, ye hear? floor space, will be the largest commerical development in Aldergrove when it opens. Depending on the size of the stores which buy space in the new structure, the promotors expect to see anywhere from 35 to 40 stores located in the centre. Poon said that the completion date is still not firm and could be in October some time or in early November, depending on which construction official one talks to. Eyeing the place over one can see that some parts of the development are already down to decorating stages while others remain with dirt floors. Poon revealed that he has already leased space to a number of tenants among whom will bc a coin laundry, a dry cleaner, a yard goods store, an imported goods shop, a smoke and book store, an optician specializing in contact lenses, a restaurant with an outdoor patio, a fast food outlet, a major food super-market, a bank, a travel agency, a hair stylist, a drug store, a jewellry shop, a soda fountain and a plant nursery with floral arrangements. There are various other businesses under active negotiation for lease space including a major pet centre. In addition Poon is actively seeking clients interested in marketing ladies and mens wear and sporting goods. As well as the many mall store fronts, there is also 10.000 square feet of office space available in the second story professional wing. Some of this space has already been rented and among the tenants in that wing will bc a new dentists' office. The professional wing will be served by elevator and there will be stairways and ramps in the lower mall levels to accomodate foot traffic. The finished mall will feature parking on three sides of the building structure and a road has been built to connect wrap around the north side of the centre connecting the Fraser Highway and Jackman Road. Poon asaid he is optimistic that lessees will continue to grab up the floorspacc in the new air- conditioned centre and is encouraged by the fact that the mall is offering some of the lowest rental' prices in town. He revealed that prices in the Aldergrove Centre, as in all imloor shopping malls, will vary according to the size and type of business, but most leases will be based on a rate of less than $7 per square foot. MMMtt«iiMIMHMIiii WmmW THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1977 Battle for More on Satan's Angels Mayor's seat continued from front page the way it is now being run it could become a viable fourth level of government in Preston's opinion. Again if operated in the spirit of cooperation. "I am not going up there (to the municipal halt and to the regional board offices in Aldergrove) to run a battlefield." Preston assured. Asked what he thought of a possible aquatics centre for Langley, Preston said that it was "long past due". "The problem with taxes," he said, "is that the first $500 (of individual homeowner's taxes) you as a taxpayer have absolutely no control over. This goes to pay for all the necessary services such as streets, police protection and sewers. Items you need and you have to pay for." In contrast to this, he said, the proportion of the property taxes being used for such 'frills' as recreation was but a minor one. Promotions are presently under way by two groups in the district. One. the Langley Recreation Centre Committee, wants the taxpayers to finance a 52-miHioil covered swimming pool situated near Murrayville. The other, the Aldergrove Recreation Club, is a group of citizens who want to build an entire complex, including an aquatics centre, in Aldergrove. This ( second proposal would be built {entirely by private funding without any public subsidies. "Small businesses are being taxed to death right now," said Preston ' '(but) the Canadian economy shows good signs of improvement and with this key factor in mind I am looking forward to continuous growth in the Langley area. This growth must bc managed by well balanced planning for now and the future. I want to be a part of the exciting future we all hold in our hand. I shall make a strenuous effort to return to the elected official job of mayor in the district of Langley. (and) with the help of people who care at the election polls 1 shall return." Lonesome George. On November 19 we shall see just how lonesome he is. SFU offers guided tours BURNABY — Student guides at Simon Fraser University will be offering free guided tours of the Burnaby Mountain campus on Sunday afternoons during the fall semester. Walking tours, lasting approximately 50 minutes, start from the administration building at 12:30, 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. Visitors will be given a small brochure containing a map of the campus and a brief description of the university's history, its achievements and points of interest. Special group tours may be arranged by calling the student guide service at 291-3219. The July-August daily tour schedule attracted about 6,000 visitors to the campus. "Had it been a repeat of last year our figures may well have been down but the mid-summer heat-wave brought many people to the campus," says guide co-ordinator Karen John. Indians to sue fishing company NORTH VANCOUVER — Chief Steven Point of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs announced last week that he will be discussing with other chiefs the idea of launching a civil law suit against the Canadian Fishing Company for their negligence; in allowing a 25,000 gallon oil spill into the Fraser River. Chief Point of the Skulkayn band near Chilliwack will be talking to other bands along the Fraser River whose special interest in the fishery will be negatively affected by this event. "This oil spill will kill fish that our people depend on for their food. If fisheries officers didn't spend so much of their time harassing Indian fishermen then perhaps they might have realized the risk of the Canadian Fishing Company's pipeline and prevented the spill", George Manuel president of the union said. This spill represents only a fraction of the destruction that will follow a major supertanker oil spill. This spill must serve as the warning that alt supertankers carrying oil should stay away from our waters, Manuel said. continued from front page with nothing to do but get in people's way. This too is a false image. Council is not always a bunch of bad guys. Very often, as in this case, the elected officials have an honest desire to do what is right for the community, and they can not be blamed entirely for the fact that what is good for the whole community is not always good for individual citizens. Then of course there is the motorcycle club. They call themselves Satan's Angels, but they are far from angels. The bikers are about as down to earth as you can get. They are not young revolutionaries, nor are they gangsters. They are simply people who have chosen to live their lives in a slightly different way to most of us. And that's all they are. EVERYONE SERVED HIS PURPOSE This is not a story about heroes and bad guys than, it is just a story about people from three very different walks of life who put their heads together to solve their problems with mutual understanding. It started when Holmes was told by council thai he could not subdivide and sell his property to a housing developer. Holmes claimed he had to subdivide because the taxes were too high for him to keep the land in an unproductive state. Council on the other hand said his land is not suitable for development because it is agricultural, dotted with historical trails and on too steep a grade to build roads on. In other words, it was one of your proverbial "Mexican standoffs." Then Jim Holmes met Dave Black, the president of Satan's Angels. Black and Holmes are worlds apart as men. Each lives his life in a very different way to the other, but they did have one thing in common. They both hated bylaws. The two gentlemen sat down and talked the matter over and came up with a brainstorm that would solve both of their problems in one sweep. Holmes rented his field to Black for a private party, and Black decided to throw a party without inviting the general public. This way the gathering required no special licenses and would be completely legal. The result would be obvious. The "Angels" would get their way by eluding the district bylaws and revealing once and for all that "the law is a ass, a idiot", a thought that has occurred to them once or twice before whether or not prompted by Mr. Charles Dickens. Holmes, meanwhile, would be able to demonstrate to council that he has the power to upset if not dealt with in a satisfactory manner, while the council would get a rare glimpse of what makes democracy work. A very valuable experience for any political body. On Saturday when the mayor telephoned Holmes to express his concern over the large crowd of bikers on Holmes property, the two had a man to man talk that is all too rare in politics at any level. The outcome was inspiring. DeJong agreed that Holmes was a very powerful citizen indeed, and he also agreed to join Holmes in a walk around the property with a view to possible development at a later date. This was .the kind of treatment that Holmes has been seeking from council all along. It docs not mean that Holnies will get his way and be able to develop his property, but it does mean that council will not say no until it has studied the matter thoroughly and come up with some very good reasons. That, after all, is the way it should be. Then there's the motorcycle types. They too experienced a minor and very rare victory. The members of the club claim emphatically that they arc not the animals that Hollywood, the news media and the law have made them out to be. They told The Star in a mid field discussion Monday, that they are sick and tired of being cast in the role of bad guys. Black and his friends would simply like to be left alone to do as they please, without running into bylaws and yellow journalists everytime they turn around. "We're not celebrities, we just want to be left alone...there were no fights, nobody was murdered and no one was thrown into the river. It was just a bunch of people who got together to drink some beer and have a good time," explained one "Angel". LOOKING AHEAD Of course the whole thing isn't over yet. Holmes has yet to receive permission to remove his land from its agricultural classification, council is not yet satisfied that Glen Valley will remain the pastoral country community it is right now, and Satan's Angels have not received any indication that they will be able to hold more parties without visits from the bylaw enforcers. It is quite possible in fact, that in the final outcome no one will get their way. In the interim, however, three different men: a quiet living farmer; the leader of a motorcycle club, and a municipal mayor have closed the communication gap with startling efficiency. Each man is richer today than he was a week ago, because each man has a deeper understanding of what makes his brother tick. And each man can now look the other in the eye without feeling greater or lesser than his peer. When all is said and done, that is a very great accomplishment. The kind of accomplishment that does not happen everyday. It is almost certain that Holmes will be appearing before council to air his differences again in the not too far distant future. It is also certain that council will not agree to subdivision ofthe land without first satisfying itself that the community as a whole would benefit. Moreover, it is very likely that Satan's Angels will want to borrow some land from Holmes again one day, to hold another private party. It is with great interest, therefore, that we can all look toward an interesting future for Glen Valley. Will this area become urbanized like so many other parts of the Fraser Valley, or will it remain the serene country setting it is today, or will it become another Venice, California where members of the Satan's Angels biker's club will spend their days in recluse from the law and the media? The dice were tossed on the Labor Day weekend, but they won't stop rolling for some time. COMPLETE AUTO »ot?, VIOR* ©W Wl ICBC AUTO GLASS INSTALLATIONS Ai-L^MAKES FREE ESTIMATES & MODELS !

Jeffreys, an English educationist uttered this lament a few years ago: "Housing, however imperfect, has never been belter; but for many people home has never meant less." It does seem that many homes today are primarily dormitories and private restaurants and places to stay while the car is being repaired. Part of the trouble is the pace at which so many of us try to live. Frantic busyness is a widespread affliction these days: we are frantic in our work, in our play, even in our relaxation. And all this frenzy does menace home and family:? many parents find it difficult to take sufficient time for sustaining good relations with their children. Some parents today seem to be more the proporletors of their children than parents. It is not really a home if there is not much time for easy and spontaneous relations, if there are not expressions of real Interest in Ihe concerns and problems and idiosyncrasies of all, if there are deficiencies in expressions of the love which Is a concern, sometimes a sacrifical concern, for the good ol others. No occasional and slickly sythesized togetherness, even when helped by modern conveniences and ornamented by the latest gimmicks, can compensate for the personal qualities which make a home really a home. As Dr. Karl Menninger, one of the most influential psychiatrists of our time, has warned, "Swamping a child with advantages is often a substitute for giving him time, Interest, companionship, and love." There is much evidence that the influence of the home in the development of personality and character is far more significant than the combined influence of the school and the church and all the community agencies with which children have contact. And children do not develop values mainly from their being told about them: it is the values which parents embody and express in the ordinary course of their lives that influence their children. Life and death Lives are on the line. In perhaps the boldest, most provocative and controversial statement of this or any other year, a church-sanctioned group has advocated mercy killing on some severely retarded babies. The repercussions can already be heard ringing around the world as many rush to condemn the idea. The statement was contained in a 19-page report on ethical problems of death and dying, prepared by an Anglican church committee of 11 people with medical, theological and legal backgrounds. The committee's chairman says the report is designed to promote discussion and is not a policy statement. Of course, this is not the first time the subject of euthanasia has been discussed so openly. Several doctors have forthrightly called for mercy killing of both deformed babies and the terminally ill; some have admitted committing the act. The case of Karen Anne Quinlan in the U.S., with her parents pleading for removal of her life supports systems that long kept her alive while in a coma, helped to publicize the subject. But for an Anglican Church committee to advocate euthanasia is startling, indeed. The committee seeks to define humans as those able to relate meaningfully with others and with God. Severely retarded or defective babies might not qualify, depending on the decision, of course, of someone who apparently does relate meaningfully with God. We wonder if the possibilities for inhumane acts by humans would be extensive, perhaps releasing a wave of Hitlerian emotions. We cannot condemn the committee's apparent intent - to find ways of lessening the misery of severe and irreversible physical afflictions, and reducing the mental, emotional and financial burdens that individuals and society must carry. But life is a fragile commodity, such a priceless gift, that to consider withdrawing it from someone who shares even some of its benefits is difficult. We believe the committee knew exactly the controversy its report would create and did in fact issue it to get many of us thinking seriously on the most serious of subjects. They succeeded. May we find humane answers to this difficult human dilemma. -Campbell River Courier r l&lL.lTHHftOUR \ COWEBSKTON WOULD BEtAUCH^OttrUASMJT IF VOL) WOULD WOT SIT THERE TfWaTDTMX Oim MN3UWFOI OF DEM> FISH«.

Postage paid in Aldergrove, B.C. By CHARLES B.SEIB WASHINGTON — Most people would not identify John P. McGoff as a press lord. His name doesn't come to mind with Hearst or Thomson or Newhouse or Murdoch. And his company, Panax, sounds more like a roach killer than a news empire. McGoff is indeed a press lord in a modest way. Panax has about 70 newspapers. Most are weeklies and most are small. Total circulation is about one million weekly and 600,000 daily — not even close to king-size as newspaper chains go. Nevertheless. McGoff is at the center of a controversy that extends beyond his fiefdom. It concerns press freedom and diversity in a day when ownership of the media is becoming increasingly centralized. Early last month, Panax's New York bureau chief, George Bern- hard, wrote a pair of stories on President Carter. One asserted that Carter had given his wife a role unequaled in the country's history and quoted a psychologist as saying he was grooming her for the vice presidency. The other, based on an interview with a Carter aide, said the President "condones promiscuity — affairs with other women — for the male staffers who work for him." The article, in tune with the conservative views of McGoff, were sent to Panax papers with a note from Frank H. Shepherd, the chain's executive vice president: "Please run the attached stories as soon as possible." Front page treatment was urged, and editors were told to mail clippings to McGoff. Many, but not all, Panax papers ran the stories. Two editors who balked at publishing them — one rejected both stories; the other rejected one and rewrote the other — are now out of jobs. One was fired; the other's resignation was accepted. They claim they were ousted because FROM THE BACK PORCH bv Bill Clark 'Immigrashun and ethniks' A while back this woman frum the guv'mint showd up at Pete Svensen's an ses she is makin' a survey on immigrashun as asts Pete if he is havin' problims with Ethniks. Pete thinks her over a wile an then he ses he has had Pollacks an Swedes an Ukrainyuns but the ony problim he had wus a fambly frum sum place callt Glasgow an he cudn't unnerstand a dam word they wus sayin*. Pete ses he ain't never seen one of them Ethniks an in fact never heard of the place an where the hell is it? She tries to explain an ses it has to do with people wot are colored diffrunt an Pete ses cum to think of it he did have trubble onct. her, it wus goin' purty gud an the kid wud stay siun more an then Pete ses he made a eampfire back frum the house and tolt sum ghost stories an Pete ses you shud have seen the eyes on that kid, becus they wus big as dinner plates an then they roastid sum weenies on a stick. Purty soon, ses Pete, the summer cum to an end, like it alius does wich is too soon, an him an Old Baldy took the kid an put him on the bus fer home. Pete ses he tuk them ten dollars bills wich had been comin' regular every week an he pinned 'em on the kid's shirt an the kid cried an igve him an Baldy a hug an then he wus gone. So the guv'mint lady ses wot wus the trubble? an Pete ses there wus really two trubbles - Old Baldy keeps goin' down fer to meet the bus...an he jest about went nuts tryin' to figger wot to use so the kid wudn't get sunburnt, becus he wus blacker'n they resisted the order to publish. • • .» Putting aside the matters in dispute, a few things can le stated flatly: First, the Bernard stories were miserable — innuendo-laden, overblown, poorly written, grossly editorial. It is hard to see how any discerning editor would do anything but throw them away or edit them beyone recognition. Second, while McGoff says he didn't get rid of the two editors for refusing to run the stories, he unequivocally asserts the right to tell his editors what to print. In a letter to one of the two editors, McGoff said: "...I want to make it very clear that I am still the head of this organization. If I choose to cover certain subjects for our news columns or our editorial pages, then 1 expect my wishes to be carried out." And in a recent memo, the surviving editors of Panax papers were told that when they receive material marked "MG", that means "McGoff or must go." Although they consult corporate headquarters if "any question should arise", the message was unmistakable: When the boss savs print, you print. * * * After the dispute got some public attention, the National News Council, a press monitoring organization, stepped in. It examined the documents and talked to the ousted editors and to Panax officials (but not to McGoff, who couldn't be reached, according to a council spokesman), and then denounced McGoff for "a gross disservice" to journalistic standards. The council said that McGoff "has highlighted one ofthe great underlying fears about newspaper chain operations — tliat what the public reads is directed from afar by autocratic owners.'' The central issue, it said, is the relationship of chain ownership to news control, and it added: "Either Mr. McGoff and his executive associates are unaware of the difference between editorial opinion policy and news content, or they are determined to ignore the principle publicly espoused by most chain groups that news judgements are delegated to the resident editors.'* The single council dissenter was William Rusher, publisher of the National Review. He said that "if newspaper publishers aie to be held responsible for the contents of their publications, then I do not see how we can deny a publisher the right to determine what that content shall be. « * » McGoff has demanded a public hearing by the council, which he says condemned him before it heard his side. But he says he won't participate if the other parties — the two editors and respresentatives of an anti-Panax group from the home community of one of the affected papers — are there. Norman Isaacs, chairman of the council, says he doesn't see how a hearing can be held with only one side present. So it is doubtful that the hearing will be held. This is unfortunate. It would be useful if the whole subject — not just the Panax dispute but the role of chain ownership in determining news and editorial content — were examined. Every year — every month, it seems —■ newspaper ownership becomes more centralized. Even though most chains give considerable autonomy to their local editors, there is a question that demands more attention than it is getting. Just how firrgly can the executives of the communications empires exert control over the news and editorial product before the concept of a free press as it was understood by the writers of the First Amendment disappears? Here today — here tomorrow by JIM SMITH Sometime - next week, next month, next year, or next decade (pick one: your guess is as good as the next person's) - the federal government's present wage and price controls programme will come to an end. But it's proving harder to get out of controls than the government expected when it introduced the programme a couple of years ago. Some of the blame can be pinned on big business and big labour. The government offered to remove mandatory controls if big business and big labour would voluntarily follow wage and price guidelines in the future - only to have both parties refuse to cooperate. So much for the government's hopes of getting out of controls easily. But don't feel too sorry for the government. After all, the real reason why we are likely to have controls for much longer than most of us anticipated a couple of years ago is the government's own inept economic management. Instead of using the past two years to introduce measures which could help counter inflation, Ottawa has simply fueled the fires of inflation by spending even more recklessly. Controls were introduced by Prime Minister Trudeau with orders that Canadians must develop "new attitudes". But government stuck with its old attitudes. The government now takes more out of every dollar earned than it took two years ago. Because governments have refused to control spendin" our businesses face high federal, provincial.and municipal taxes. The end result is higher wages, higher interest rates - higher everything - lhan the United States. We could create jobs in Canada. Currently, we import S10 billion more products than we export - and much of this could be going into domestic production if our costs were in line. From 1970 to 1975, Canada's oil prices were lower than world levels. This should have given our manufacturers a competitive advantage internationally. Instead, the various governments borrowed heavily and forced the value of the Canadian dollar up to SI.03 in U.S. terms. We threw away a once-in-a* lifetime opportunity. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business argues that the best cure for our present problems is (a) massive cuts in federal and provincial spending accompanied by (b) sharp cuts in sales taxes. The programme would create jobs while reducing the cost of living. The government has shown no signs of interest in the C.F.I.B. proposal. But that's to be expected: the measures require strong leadership. Getting out of controls will not be easy. If the government refuses to provide strong, aggressive leader* ship.controls are here to stay.

A member of council has conceded that riding - equestrian pursuits - are really a form of recreation. Halleluyal! A very large garland of flowers to you Aid. Art Brooks and I wish there were a half dozen more enlightened gentlemen like yourself. I think the general public has operated under : lew misconceptions in regards to "horsey people" and their activities. It seems to be felt riding is for an elite and wealthy few. Not sol! The Fraser Valley boasts one of the most concentrated horse and rider populations in North America. To go along with these thousands of horses go thousands of horse people. Young, old, middle income, poor and yes, of course, wealthy too. However it seems that only the equestrian sport is subject to financial prejudice. Little league and soccer are not denied their park facilities, tennis enthusiasts arc not denied public courts, motorcyclists arc provided a motocross site, parks are all about - but they all say no equestrians. Equestrians are supposedly so well off, they don't need municipal aid or recognition. Phooey! The customers that frequent my shop are not rich, they are girls who are babysitting their brains out to pay feed bills, families who came out to the valley for the good life and arc trying to outfit three kiddies for pony club, and small farm or breeding operations trying to better the breed of their choice. But with the exception of a few deluxe facilities in the area - which must of course be rented - there is nowhere to ride. Parks don't want us, trails are on private property and we must not trespass and, well, of course, there is always the road. For the record, we horseowners take no delight in sending a dump truck into a tailspin because our horse spooks. More often that not we are the victims on the road anyway. The point I am really trying to home on is this. We as equestrians are important members of both the sports community and this rural valley community. We support ourselves through competitions, open to spectators, -the year through. We engage in helping the blind and disabled in riding programs and support hundreds of children to acquire skills in pony club and 4-H. For those of you who care to know, your community boasts of many internationally skilled riders and horses. And yet all of the previously mentioned little leaguers, etc., can expect to participate in their chosen sport in the safe confines but the riders can expect to find themselves - you guessed it - right smack out in the road. You planners and councilmen, you say move out to the country - rural Langley - so we do and we buy a small piece of land - and you love those big city dollars we bring and the taxes we pay. But once you've got us - and you have got us - don't treat us like second class citizens. KATHY WATSON (owner) Tack 'n Tales Aldergrove Editor. The Star, Sir, That was a beautiful "sock it to 'em" article, darling, but you completely screwed up the lease and sale part of it which probably indicates that I did not explain it very well! I tried to phone Chambers on Thursday to re-explain just in case anyone should call the newspaper on the subject, but you are hard to catch up with Gary. The terms on which the land will be offered to industry are: 1. Lease or 2. Purchase or 3. Lease with option to purchase. 1. Lease. The terms of lease will be a five year fixed lease fee at the cost of money (10%) of the servicing costs only. The cost of money of course being the 10% one pays at the bank if one | Letters § | welcome 1 We encourage and ;|5 :•:• welcome Lellers-lo-the- :•:• ;!;!

During this first five years there will be no capital depreciation of the servicing nor any land value built into the lease charge. The purpose of this Mr. Chambers correctly quoted as being to allow industry the three years permitted under our tax laws to write off their equipment and two years in which to expand before the lease fee would be raised to recoup the capital cost ofthe servicing and a return on the land investment. This would all be carefully spelled out to leasing industries. 2. Purchase. If industry prefers, the land may be purchased immediately. It will, however, only be for sale directly to industry. Purchase prices cannot be firmly fixed at the moment because we are paying the entire cost of the external servicing as well as the internal servicing so that there will be no cost to the taxpayer and, again as Mr. Chambers correctly quoted, whilst we are prepared to absorb the cost of any delays of our own we cannot be held responsible for cost alterations brought about by additional government demands or delays. The basis of the price structure will be, however, that parcels exceeding 8 acres in size will be sold for less than the cost per acre of servicing and will include no land value. Parcels in the 5*8 acre range will be sold at a break even cost of servicing alone, again with no land value added. Smaller parcels will be sold at moderately higher prices to recoup the land value. 3. Lease with option to pur- chase. This is self explanatory and a combination of the above lease and purchase terms. These price structures are the grass roots of the project and are the means by which we can compete with the very successful huge industrial centres in the East and in the U.S. Industry has demonstrated in no uncertain terms that it prefers to locate in this type of industrial centre. I would appreciate your making a correction on that price structure paragraph. AINSLIE LORETTO Aldergrove "I have a surar Idea, Mr. Sampson. Why don't I Just ring up your wife and explain you to nor?" __________________________ _mm» IWMMI m____m__ ■MM SOMEWHERE BACK THERE behind all those contraptions in the foreground, there is an Esso service station. The management at Westgrove Esso in Aldergrove would like their access freed of construction equipment. TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE Why does it take a month to cross a rood? ALDERGROVE — Engineering problems are largely to blame for a lengthy delay in the installation of a sewer pipe at the corner of 264 Street and the Fraser Highway. The pipe, which is being installed by Hilex Reinforcing Ltd. of Aldergrove, is to provide sewage disposal services for a new housing development on the Fraser Highway across the road and just west of the Aldergrove Legion hall. To install the sewer it is necessary to run a 24 inch pipe across 264 Street at the traffic light corner. The problem becomes rather complex when one looks at it from the point of view of Roy Maday, the owner of Westgrove Esso. "They have been here for well over a month now...they have cut my business way down," he said Tuesday. Maday explained that one of his entrances has been blocked off for the entire duration of the job and he claims that his gas sales have dropped by about S200 a day since digging began. He complains that the upset has come in the middle of the tourist season when business should bc peaking and points out that he has endured two long weekends under this situation. Maday also speculates that the job could put -a damper on the official "grand opening" of his station this coming weekend. Ernie Hildebrand of Hilex, meanwhile, explains the reasons why it has taken workers over a month to get across 264 Street with their 24 inch pipe. Hildebrand said in a phone interview that the job is contracted to Hilex from the municipality of Langley, and the council No talk during programs could save your marriage By ARTHUR HOPPE Family Circle magazine reports that 78 percent of television- watching families engage in "no conversation at all except during commercials." This is, of course, as it should be. It is free, frank and open communication that holds American families together. How dreary life would be without those invigorating 60-second discussions every so often that begin: "While you're up . . ." or "Did you remember to..." or "What's on after this?" or "Are you awake?" Nevertheless, this grim statistic illustrates some of the grave threats faced by today's American families. What, for example, about that 27 percent minority group who blatantly talk while the program is in progress? To be told that your brother-in- law has unfortunately expired just as Kojak is closing in on the Mafia hit man is enough to send your common, ordinary, red-blooded American spouse packing. Worse yet, give thought to the plight of those families who watch educational television and thus never speak to each other at all. * * * This problem was faced squarely by PBS station KNOW-TV in Thresher, Kansas. KNOW-TV's faithful viewers were startled last week when the 13th re-run of "No Roots — The life Saga of The Gypsy Moth" was suddenly interrupted by the face of the station's public affairs director, Homer T. Pcttibone. "Time for a little experiment in human relations," said Petti- bone. "I want each of you to turn to the person next to you and shake hands." In his home in West Thresher, tractor salesman Fred Frisbrc frowned with annoyance bu awkwardly complied. "Now ask their name and what they do," urged Pcttibone. "I'm Felicia Frisbee and I'm a housewife," said the woman whose hand Frisbee clasped. "Is there anyone else in the room?" prodded Pettibone. "Well, there's your brother-in- law in that chair in the corner," Mrs. Frisbee told Frisbee. "I'm afraid he expired several weeks ago." • "What about that cute tad at your feet?" asked Frisbee. "Is he my son, Fred Junior?" "No, he's your daughter, Mary Jane," said Mrs. Frisbee. "Darn," said Frisbee, "I was hoping for a boy." Pettibone then suggested a number of topics families might discuss during this "public service get-acquainted break." They included Money, Where to Go on Vacation, Separate Credit Cards, The Role of the Woman in Weeding, Sex and The Wisdom of Buying New Tires for an Old Car. KNOW's goal is to stimulate free, frank and open communication among families," he said proudly. And it worked. The Frisbees filed for divorce the following day. supplied his company with engineering drawings for the project. Hilex in turn contracted Coastal Industrial Contractors to do the augering for the pipe laying. "Augering is a highly specialized field...if they run into problems they've really got them!" he said. The local contractor revealed that engineering drawings given to Hilex at the outset of the job were incorrect and resulted in major difficulties for the augering company. First of all a water main was hit causing damage to equipment and worsening the working conditions. Then it was discovered that the grade was incorrect, resulting in laid pipe having to be pulled out and rclaid with new drawings. On one evening the entire water supply of the town had to bc cut off while workers toiled through the night from seven in the evening to six o'clock in the morning to rectify site difficulties. Hildebrand said he understands why Maday is annoyed and finds the whole thing very embarrasing. "We have tried to move all our gas sales over there to offset it," he stated. Maday, meanwhile, hopes people will still come into his grand opening in spite of the blocked entrance. Douglas College offers literacy training SURREY — The 1971 census figures indicate there are approximately 80,000 adults in the Douglas College region who are in need of basic literacy training, says instructor Nora Boyer. Boyer is coordinator of the Basic Literacy Training program for adults which will begin at Douglas College Oct. 3 in Coquitlam. "Research indicates that the illiterate adult is highly adept at camouflaging his level of skills," she added. The literacy program at Doug* las is designed to help people who - for a variety of reasons - have not developed reading and writing skills beyond the grade four level, she explained. The basic literacy training courses are designed specifically to teach adults to read and write. Ministry continues study in four educational areas VANCOUVER — Pat Brady, president of the B.C. Teachers' Federation, said last week that he forsees few problems for B.C. schools resulting from the core curriculum guide just released by the ministry of education. "Teachers will not notice much of a change," he said. "A core curriculum has been in schools since the 1960 Chant Royal Commission. Teachers will go on teaching it. The guide is simply a re-working of what is already there." Brady expressed pleasure at the adjustments made by the ministry to the original proposals of last November as a result of data from public hearings, letters and briefs. For example, he said, there is now a recognition of what the ministry calls "atypical" learners, particularly the handicapped child, that was not a consideration last November. There's a recognition that a core curriculum is not static but Law TUk Environmental law THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1977 By GORDON HARDY Number 1 in a series of five columns. The excellent whiskey made by the Bankier Distillery in England' depended on the pure waters of a certain stream for its well known qualities. But suddenly old-time customers were complaining. There's something wrong with the taste, they said, it's just not what it used to be. Alarmed that the distinguished Bankier reputation might be washed down the drain, the owners lost no time in searching out the cause of their woe. What they found was that the unpleasant change in the taste of their whiskey was due to a change in the water of their stream; upstream John Young and Company had begun using the same water to wash coal. While this didn't dirty the water it did change the chemical balance so that whiskey made with it tasted different. The distillery took the coal company to court and the resulting case, which by 1870 got as far as the British House of Lords, was to be a milestone. The courts decided in favour of the distillery, ordering the coal company to stop changing the quality of the water. This was important because it set a pattern for lawyers and judges to follow in later cases. What John Young and Company vs. the Bankier Distillery established was that the distillery, through whose property the stream ran, had a right to enjoy the continued good quality of the water. This right, called a riparian or water right, includes lakes, rivers, and so on. Laws protect much more than just water rights. There are laws that protect property owners from private nuisance. In one recent case, a farmer in Delta, British Columbia, arranged to have his vegetable crop sprayed from the air. During the spraying, the airplane roared over some neighbourhood houses, causing fright and shock to two elderly ladies. The two ladies took both the* farmer and the aviation company to court, and the court decided in favor ofthe ladies, granting them compensation. Over the years, cases like this and the Young v. Bankier case, both here and in England, have "Instructors will be sensitive to the low self-concept which almost inevitably accompanies an inability to read and write," commented Boyer. Students can begin classes at the beginning of each month as long as there is space available. Classes are held in the day and evening, four days a week, with a longer practice session Fridays which is not mandatory. Afternoon classes are from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Mondays to Thursdays, and evening classes are 7 to 9:30 p.m. The Friday practice session is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. A fee structure has not yet been developed, but it is expected fees will be low.

This kind of law, originally decided on the basis of what judges think is common sense and fairness, is different from legislation, which is decided by elected officials, not judges. Laws which deal with the environment come from both common law and legislation. Lately laws from legislation have grown much more quickly then common laws. A report of the West Coast Environmental Law Association points out that the common law rights are based on the idea that "each person's right to enjoy his own property should be protected as much as possible and that no one should be allowed to interfere unreasonably with other people's rights." A property owner, or even a tenant, can use the common law to protect his land against factory smells, smokes, poisons, insecticides, and noise. Tim Mackenzie, a Vancouver lawyer, explains: "If you start up a mink ranch and your neighbour is operating a shooting club, and the noise of the shots from the guns causes your minks to miscarry...you could obtain a court injunction (order) to stop his nuisance activities." The common law also can protect property owners from other kinds of damage. Mackenzie explains that "a person who brings dangerous substances onto his own land for his own use and then allows them to escape onto your own land will be held strictly accountable for all damages." This is called the rule in Rylands v. Fletcher, after an old case, and includes everything from battery acid fumes to wild animals. In common law, it is the citizen, usually the property owner, who must "take the law into his own hands." No government department has any responsibility for it. If a property owner feels that damage is being done to his land, then he must arrange with his lawyers to drag the offending party to court. Next: Citizens who don't own property; the public in general. For a copy of the booklet Pollution & Environmental Law please contact the Vancouver People's Law School.

And there's a start toward recognizing that time must be given to teachers for planning and discussions in schools. It appears that the ministry has recognized students learn at different rates, and will allow the teacher flexibility, in the allocation of instructional time. Brady said that he was pleased that the ministry is continuing to study four areas; French, fine arts, healthful living and atypical learners. Brady concluded that the work done thus far is simply not enough. He said that while the ministry has given recognition to the existence of "atypical learners," it has not provided for their needs. "A meaningful impact on the education system will only take place when there is a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of how to meet the needs of all students." FRflZIRMIATSLTD. 6234- 264SI.

K.NEILL FOSTER Elvis Presley is dead at forty- two. The hysteria he created through rock and roll is destined to continue though he himself has passed from the stage. Whatever one may think of lil vis Presley as a musician, his influence upon the world has been profound. He may have been 1he first contemporary musician to recognize and capitalize on the fact that music is as much a language as written or spoken prose. Presely used words and music to multiply impact, and often, mayhem. Rock and roll, regardless of the lyrics, said and still says many things. Rebellion, immorality, violence, the drug scene, the occult and hoplessness are all wrapped into the frenetic beat. And somehow in the degenerating moral climate. North America was ready for Presley. Statistically it can be demonstrated that rock and roll deafens and degenerates its devotees. It also binds them with an hypnotic spell. And Elvis Presley became the focal point of that degeneracy. Certainly too, if there had been no Elvis, there would have been someone else. The tragedy is that some have vainly hoped to Christianize rock and roll. Words about Jesus are thumped and bumped and blurred. But Christian rock and roll remains an impossibility. How can one repent and rebel al the same time? If we had our "druthers," and we don't. Elvis at least had integrity. The words and the music said the same thing, bad as it was. The Jesus rock is worse because it is slill rock. And deceptive. And probably blasphemous to boot. with burns at the Galveston Unit in Texas. The Fraser Valley Shrine Club, which has membership from Hope, Agassiz, Harrison, Chilliwack and Abbotsford, raises funds through various activities to assist in the operation of these hospitals and the care of crippled children. Nobel president Phil Swift of Abbotsford reported that the main fund raising activity is the Shrine Circus which is held in Chilliwack in June each year. The Club is presently holding a car raffle as a fund raising activity. "Hospital costs per day for each patient in an orthopedic unit is $120.00 whereas daily costs per patient in a burns unit is $300.00 per day," Swift said. "Shrine clubs of America finance eighteen orthopedic hospitals and three burns hospitals located in Boston, Cincinnati and Galveston. The Boston unit has a traumatic burns research unit with a staff of 23 to research the vast "grey" area which exists in burns cases." Swift reported that present hospital operating costs are $39-million per year. "Since our hospitals were initially opened, we have taken care of around 200,000 burned and crippled children," Swift said. "We average around 8.000 new cases each year. Gizeh Temple paid out close to $96,000. in transportation to and from hospitals last year." Tickets on the car raffle are available from any Shrine club member, or can be purchased at the Seven Oaks Shopping Plaza in Abbotsford on September 9 or 10. The draw will bc held in early October.

Registration of beavers, Cubs and Scouts A meeting will be held at the United Church Hall, 272nd Street, Aldergrove at 7:30 p.m., Monday, September 12th, for parents who wish to register their sons in Beavers, Cubs or Scouts this fall. "Registrations are being taken now," she said in a press release last week. The fall schedule for 1977 is much the same as last year's fall line up with a few changes of particular interest to housewives with children. One of the additions this year will be a self improvement course for women. The course will be taught by Louise Zetterstrem, a former model. Those enrolled in the course will learn many of the trade secrets of the modelling trade including posture, make*up, hair and skin care. It will also include physical fitness to help develop and maintain a trim figure. Corresponding with the self improvement sessions will be a creative fun time period for youngsters twelve and over. This course includes crafts, indoor sports, story times and light snacks. In addition, these kids who are too young to qualify for the fun time classes can be registered into babysitting programs run by the association. Another new innovation this fall is the yoga for children course which will teach basic yoga and body awareness to children six to twelve years old. This course includes half an hour in the pool each day. Special day camps have also been established just prior to Christmas, to give youngsters some time away from mother. A well earned break, right? Anyone desiring information about these and other courses offered by the Y should call Linda at 530-7174.

Couple united in afternoon ceremony In a late afternoon wedding which took place August 27th in Langley United Church, the Rev. A.W. Carmichael united in marriage Loretta Theresa LeFrank and Barry Richard Scott. The bride, daughter of Mr. Marcel LeFranc of Lake Errock, was given in marriage by her father. The bride chose an entrain gown of sheer nylon over polyester with empire waist. Applique flowers enchanced the neckline, the edge of her train and throughout her gown. A chapel veil was held in place with a satin trimmed white nylon rose. Her bridal bouquet of yellow roses and white carnations completed her ensemble. Matron-of-honor was sister-in- law Mrs. Anne LeFranc with bridesmaids Mrs. June Smiths and Mrs. Margaret Gibson, the latter being sister to the bride. Flower girl, niece to the bride was Christine Gibson. All the attendants wore matching yellow gowns with shoulder capes. Ring- bearers was Shawn Smits. The groom, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Arnold of Bradner had Larry Wiens as best man with groomsmen Bill Scott and Bob Rock of ages The singing of hymns by the congregation is one of the more beautiful parts of a church service. These hymns actually are prayers, usually in the form of a poem, set to music. Sometimes unusual circumstances have attended the writing of a hymn, knowledge of which adds to the joy of singing it. One such hymn is "Rock of Ages". These inspiring words were written by Augustus Top- lady, a native son of England, a little over two hundred years ago. One day when he was tramping through the wild Mendips Hills in Somerset, he was overtaken by a tremendous thunderstorm, just as he reached a rocky glen in the heart of the hills. As he looked about for shelter, far from human habitation, he saw a fissure, like a small cave, at the base of a hundred foot cliff. Hastening to this haven, he remained safe and dry within, and while the storm OPENING September 25 , 1977 FLEA MARKET 7540 Cloverdale Fair Grounds 353 . __<_$ raged without, he wrote down the words of "Rock of Ages." It first appeared in print in 1776° and immediately became a great favorite, sung to a tune named "Houghton - Ie - Spring" by Samuel Wesley, who composed it specially for "Rock of Ages." This name later was changed to "Sebastian", when the hymn was included in a collection published in 1866 by the rector of the parish of "Houghton - le - Spring." When "Rock of Ages" came to this continent, an American hymn writer named Thomas Hastings wrote for it the tune we are familiar with today, widlcy known as "Rock of Ages," though Hastings named it "Toplady." It has been sung around the world for going on two hundred years, and is without question one of the greatest hymns of all time. There is no way to know the millions to whom it has brought renewed hope, strength, and peace in time of trouble. Visitors to the Mendips Hills today are still shown the Assure in the great crag where Augustus Toplady, oblivious to the raging elements just outside, wrote "Rock of Ages."

Shama was easily the finest rock band in town for the seven-day stint and the sudden swell in the Palace's crowd stood as testimony to the fact. It was with great interest that we later listened to a booking agent telling another club manager that the agency that books the Palace simply does not have good bands. Shama proved that fact totally untrue. The band exhibited well honed talents in the area of musical artistry as well as showing some understanding of theatrics. In the droning world of cabaret musicians it is very easy to become oblivious to the wants and desires of an audience. Some nights, the people on stage just want to play the notes, sing the words, get the money and go home. Shama, however, does not seem to suffer from this drab- ness. This band can still stir the air somewhat even when it isn't playing to the traditional packed house that good cabaret rock music usually envokes. Shama creates a kind of electricity that lingers in the air between numbers and Tills in the band breaks with anticipatory excitement. Like many rock bands on the dance club circuit, Shama will probably never play to crowds of screaming teenagers at the Hollywood Bowl, but they will never be out of work, even if they don't book through the biggest agency in town. The band also represents some earnest effort on the part of the club management at the Palace. Competition in the field of rock music has become very stiff in Langley of late and it must be hard forthe old Mecca of country music to make the switch over to rock. But attention is being paid to pulling in some acts with something extra to offer. Acts like the Steven Thomas group which appeared here some weeks back, and S.O.S. which is due to grace the Palace stage soon all join Shama in helping to put the Palace into the stream of the youth market. Shama has been working hard to earn a fine reputation among Canadian rock bands. During their booking into the Country Palace, the band has been invited by at least one major west coast recording studio who would like to contract them as a recording artists. In addition the musicians have also been contacted by large American based companies like Capitol, for similar purposes. This week they have been held over at the Palace moving S.O.S.'s booking ahead one week. It is a good idea to arrive early if you plan to take during the weekend hold-over. n Shama of their Judy A Jim. Bob Moles prove outsfond ing VANCOUVER — As has been the case for a number of years now, the Bobby Hales band and Judy and Jim affirmed once again in 1977's PNE that they should be in the Star Spectacular instead of an outdoor bandstand on the midway. Bobby Hales band has been around Vancouver for many years dating back to the days when big bands were all the craze and everyone danced and toe tapped to the pulsating rythm of brass reed and percussion. Hales earned a reputation as a fine bandleader. Today, along with a number of musicians who doulbe as members of the Vancouver Symphony, Hales presents one of the most nostalgic and exciting musical entertainments on the coast. Year after year he is booked with his band into the outdoor bandstand where people can sit and rest their feet as they travel along the midway. Always on the bill with him are two young songwriters and performers from Vancouver, Judy and Jim Ginn. Judy and Jim have been pounding out highly commercial lyrics and music for some years now, some of which they have recorded themselves and others of which have been bought by other acts. Today the duo is joined by their youngest sister Marlee and all three now work on a weekly CBC TOWNE CINEMA ■ «.<.„..

Hales and Judy and Jim have repeatedly delivered some of the finest shows at the PNE, but as yet they are still forced to sing and play in the rain each year, avoiding little electric shocks from their mikes. There are many more entertainers like these in Canada, quite enough to put together one hell of a show during one evening at the Star Spectacular. Far be it from our function to even suggest what the PNE should stage under the big roof, but perhaps the idea of an all Canadian night at the PNE might strike them all by themselves. Roundhouse celebrating fifth ALDERGROVE — Otto and Louise Weckerle are celebrating their fifth year in business right now as the anniversary of their purchase of the restaurant nears. The Roundhouse was the first major dining lounge and coffee shop to open in Aldergrove without being attached to a hotel. Prior to the Weckerle's purchase of the establishment, it was known as the Oasis Drive-Inn and was a favorite spot for young people to gather for hamburgers. It closed over six years ago and remained empty until the Weck- erles decided to put it back into commission. Since then there have been major renovations to the building, including the upgrading of the dining area and the expansion of the coffee shop. It is one of the earliest businesses to open in Aldergrove every day and it is where many of the local business people grab their breakfast, lunch and coffee breaks. Cuisine at the Roundhouse includes traditional western quick orders and authentic Bavarian dishes for the serious gastranom- ic epicurean. If you pop in on the right evening and catch Otto in the right mood you might even be entertained on the organ. The restaurant is as proficient on the keyboard as he is in the Bavarian kitchen. It is also not unusual to find the odd celebrity popping into the Roundhouse for a meal from time to time. Louise has had the distinction of serving various hockey and football stars as well as a few people from the entertainment industry, such as Wayne Newton. Anyone seriously interested in food, who lives in Aldergrove and has not yet tried a schnitzel at the Roundhouse, is depriving him/herself of a city gourmet's treat at countryside prices. ^ m- RESTAURANT 5 P.M. to 3 A.M.

The concert scheduled for 7:00 was postponed till 7:30 but no one seemed bothered as they knew they were in for a treat anyway. The show came down at 7:25 actually with the rockin' sound of The Sanford Townsend band, The band itself seemed to have their act together and played a tight set but the lighting crew left a bit to be desired. I say this because quite a few times the spotlight panned left instead of right, cut off the vocalists head ... not too impressive. The band played for about SO minutes with a 20 minute intermission before the big Mac.

The groups two original members Mick Fleetwood and John McVie started in 1967 with Peter Green as one of England's top blues bands. They were well on their way from their first album to their tenth and latest great 'Rumors'. Stevie Nicks, Fleetwoods blonde beauty who wrote Rhian- non, finds composing comes natural to her and is quite a prolific songwriter. Her voice at the show was not quite par, and, am sad to relate to you readers, that she has apparently developed nodes on her vocal cords, but I have to give credit where it is due because she tried really hard and managed alright. Cristine McVie a member of the band since 1970, a fantastic voice with a straight from the heart and soulful quality. Mick "Big Daddy" Fleetwood (Big Daddy you ask? Well 6'6" is big). His drumming and general impression is that he's intuitively aware of everything going down on stage. John McVie the other co- founder of Fleetwood Mac, plays a mean bass and keeps the beat tight together with 'Big Daddy'. He owns few material possessions but among them is his prized collection of Penguin artifacts from which Fleetwood Macs logo originated. The youngest member Lindsy Buckingham, quite accomplished both in electric and acoustic guitar with an unusual finger picking style. He spends a lot of free time writing, arranging, producing and jamming with other musicians. The band did a fantastic job and pleased the Fleetwood fans immensely. So immensely that the audience nearly leveled the coliseum to the ground, with stamping, whistling, and clapping, demanding them back for two encores. Speaking for fellow fans, "a job well done, and come back soon." IT'S OUR FIFTH jp& We would like to thank our patrons for their loyalty, and hope to be off service to them for years to come.

The hills were hidden by the mists gently rising from the still surface of the lake on this morning 5.000 years ago. The hills were not all that hidden from the elk! Bronzed-skinned men were warily stalking the placidly chewing animal, and couid he have seen into the future, he would have seen the antlers he bore so proudly being made into tools and weapons by these bronze men. Five thousand years ago, as today, life came and went in its various forms, leaving behind the clues of a life style long forgotten for those who came thereafter to find and decipher. In the central Okanagan Valley many such clues have been • discovered, and from them we know there was indeed a very large elk species, now extinct, existing here. Wc also know that our native Indian people hunted these elk and modified the antlers into useful artifacts. Fossilized remains tell us the story. The early traces of the white man's occupation tell of his survival, what he did, what tools and weapons he used and often, how successful he was. The growth of any area depends on how its resources can b.e exploited. Thus we find that agriculture was an early consideration here. First, cattle grazing and grain growing, then with the introduction of widespread irrigation, the orchards bloomed. Marketing of the orchard products and the growing communities dotted along the lakeshore convinced the Canadian Pacific Railway that a sternwheeler service on the lake might be a worthwhile undertaking. Kelowna Centennial Museum. So it went, the steps moving one by one along the road to development. Land changed hands, old methods were replaced by new and progress continued. But progress has to have a measure. Methods need a comparison, incentives need to be recorded. This is the caretaking role that was assumed by those historians who recorded and collected the history and achievements of this area and people. From the collections and documents a story developed which, over the years, has been interpreted in displays and programs in the Kelowna Centennial Museum. The museum, started over 30 years ago. had a modest beginning in the top of a barn. From there it progressed to a small building in the park, subsequently moved, building and all, to the foot of the main street: Bernard Avenue. Brady of tells teachers what they are up against VANCOUVER — B.C. Teachers* Federation president Pat Brady gave teachers a brief look at issues facing them when school opens for the year. Brady was speaking at a conference held every August to help newly elected presidents learn how to run a local association. One issue facing teachers this year, Brady said, will be salary settlements particularly if there is a post control period. Local presidents discussed salary objectives during the conference and Brady is expected to be making a statement early in September on the results of these discussions. Another issue is declining enrollments, something that offers both "problems and opportunities." Brady said, "and we should be well aware of both." Brady spoke briefly on internal matters saying he wants the provincial executive committee to play a 'supporting role' to efforts of local associations. Many teachers, he said, believe the BCTF has 'frittered' away too many of its resources.

The city recognizing a fire hazard and dry-rot situation backed the suggestion of a new museum for a 1%7 Centennial project. The building, when opened, was promptly designated "the bomb shelter" because of its low profile. Actually this was just the first stage of the farsightcd plan. As piling has to bc driven to build any size building in downtown Kelowna, that's where most of the money went, literally into the ground. So there was only money left for the basement-like structure which served as the museum B.C. Government, photo until 1974. In 1974, construction commenced on an expansion project, funded by the federal, provincial and municipal governments and resulted in the new museum building being newly opened in August 1976. lt now houses the expanded museum, national exhibit centre, art gallery, archives storage and children's activity room. Here the Okanagan story is told — authoriatatively, concisely, visually and with full meaning. It is a tale that should not be missed. (This Roam at Home story is one in a series provided by Tourism British Columbia.) Ode to a vanishing beetle It is like saying good-bye to an old friend. One with not a very pretty face, perhaps, but familiar and reliable nonetheless. A fundamentalist with no fancy tricks. For almost any American, the imminent passing of the Volkswagen bug or beetle from the United States scene brings a twinge of regret, a flood of memories for the little car that could. It was a German immigrant that long ago found a niche in American folklore. ft For generations of youngsters, it was their inexpensive first car, a reverse status symbol. For countless others, it filled a workhorse role as that essential second car for father to drive to the office or mother to do the suburban shopping.

Chalk it up to their well-known durability. -Christian Science Monitor VANCOUVER — In strong classes for market hogs at the Pacific National Exhibition swine show, El-Rcy Farm of Aldergrove captured the B.C. Swine Breeders' Centennial Silver Tray emblematic of champion market hog. El-Ray took first places in both the pen of three select type bacon hogs and the single bacon hog classes. Bcttabor Farms Ltd., also of Aldergrove was second in pens and Chilliwack 4-H Swine Club had second best single hog. Colony Farm of Essondale and Bettabor Farms were one-two in the contest for best pen of five select type hogs. Another major triumph for El-Rcy was in the single barrow interbreed class, being judged by Canada Agriculture graders to score 81 out of a possible 100 points in carcass ratings. The carcass was rated 110 on a Canada index basis. The coveted Meat Industry trophy courtesy of the Vancouver Meat Industry goes to El-Rcy. Second place in this carcass class was won by R. — H. Farms Ltd., also of Aldergrove, with 73 points, and a 109 index rating. "I can type 120 words per minute and even spell some of them." bc all things to all people." "Wc should concentrate on doing some things very well, rather than on skimming the surface of a great many issues." On professional development, Brady told presidents that "if teaching is to become the major profession we all want it to become, the professional development work of our provincial organization is an absolute must.' SLIP MONITOR FOR TRACTORS Agricultural engineers have developed an electronic device to monitor tractor drivewheel slip which could save farmers money. The slip monitor operates from the 12-volt tractor electrical supply, is easily installed and can be read in the field. The monitor could help a tractor operator control drivewheel slip and save money on fuel consumption and tire wear. Agriculture Canada's Engineering Research Service in Ottawa says the device has proved practical and effective. However, more work must be done before it can be commercially produced and made available to farmers.
