B.C. TEL IGNORES REFERENDUM RESULTS legislative Library, Vio'tca-is, W lXif Jan 80 under foot ' By RUDY UNGMANN ALDERGROVE - There will be no extension of the toll free callllng area of B.C. Tel's Aldergrove exchange,, the telephone company announced this week; In spite of « B.C. Tell conducted customer referendum held in the early spring of 1977, which resulted in a majority vote in favor of Including Aldergrove In the Greater' Vancouver toll free calling area, there will be no changes made in the 856- exchange calling pattern. Telephone subscribers in this area can now call Langley and Abbotsford - an area within a 10-mile radius - toll, free and it will remain that way. , In a letter to Langley district mayor George Driediger, B.C. Tel customer service manager Frank Bogle.says the company "realize and regret that this decision has been somewhat delayed." Two and one half years have passed since the people of Aldergrove voted in favor of extended service In return for higher monthly rates. Bogle adds that "at the time of the referendum, our company identified that the cost of extending the Aldergrove telephone office free calling area was extremely high. Together with our regulator, The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, we questioned whether it would be fair and equitable to all other telephone customers to proceed, with the Aldergrove free calling area extension due to the very hig capital costs involved." According to inter office memos passed between B.C. Tel and 'the CRTC in the months immediately following the referendum, the telephone com-, pany did their utmost to convince their governing body that they could not afford to 'go through with the scheme any-, how. It would cost B.C. Tel Sl'/j-million a year, company officials claimed. The strange part about it was that two-thirds of this projected deficit or Sl-million, would be derived from a "loss1, of current long distance revenue in jjj the Aldergrove area. It thus appears that the referendum was a travesty in the first place, probably conducted, by B.C. Tel officials, convinced that it never would carry in any case.

Rick Mcllwain photo Minister clears controversial Langley fundamental schools By ANNE BERTING MURRAYVILLE - Education minister Dr. Pat McGeer Friday cleared Langley's fundamental schools of charges of discrimination and unfair treatment laid by Accident victim hospitalized the B.C. Teachers' Federation- sponsored Langley Education Commission earlier this year. The investigation came as a result of a demand by the commission to look into Langley's fundamental schools which ALDERGROVE - A young woman was hospitalized' after a west bound car side-swiped a car travelling in the opposite direction on Fraser Highway Saturday night. Wendy Eyles of Aldergrove was hospitalized nt Langley Memorial and later listed In satisfactory condition. Police say the Eyles car sideswiped a car driven by Raymond Puffer, also of Aldergrove, while he was driving on the south shoulder of the road attempting to avoid a collision. Police investigation is continuing and charges are pending. The accident happened In the 26700 block of Fraser Highway at about 10 o'clock Saturday night. they found to be at the core of poor relations between the school board and the Langley Teachers' Association. The commission,' which did not have the sanction of the Langley'school board, held three public hearings in March and received numerous written and oral briefs. It found that only children with parents subscribing to the Judeo-Christian philosophy could, attend fundamental schools, and that teachers at these schools also had to subscribe to the same philosophy. The commission charged that waiting lists are administered by parents' committees rather than by administration. Many teachers and. parents, the' commission further found, resented the school board's 'Fundamentals' page 2A toe first time that a construction project they thought to be in midstream and which was to precede the expanded calling area was not on the move after ',B.C. Tell officials had met with CRTC officials a couple of times and cried the blues about how expensive it would be for the company to honor its commitment. ; Senior officials of the CRTC in Ottawa suggested the B.C. telephone company work out an option whereby telephone subscribers in the 856- exchange could lease extended free calling privileges on an individual basis. There'll be no such option either. "Following the Aldergrove referendum result, the CRTC also asked that we look at what alternatives to free calling extended service might be practical In Aldergrove's case," writes Bogle. "This we have done In detail and, to date, no practical alternative has been found which would not be discriminatory to other telephone customers in British Columbia." In the 1977 referendum, B.C. Tel indicated clearly to Aldergrove subscribers that one-party Tine monthly rates which at the time were at $6.30, would go to $13.65 if the new system were to go into' effect. Business rates would rise from $15.40 to $36.80 per month. A total of 4,765 ballots were mailed out to Aldergrove telephone subscribers by the Abbotsford office of B.C. Tel. 3,104 were returned, as follows: 1,820 or 58.63 percent in favor, 1,183 or 38.11 percent against,, and 101 or 3.26 percent rejected for various reasons. The counting of the ballots was conducted by B.C. Tel'with scrutineers from .the Ungley municipality keeping track-; In a democracy the majority normally decides, but B.C.

Twin sidewalk policy will remain in force MURRAYVILLE - Sidewalks on both sides of the street "do not materially add to the. general cost" of residential lots, according to municipal planner Ken Major. In a report and recommendation to council this week Major defends the municipal planning department's dictum that sidewalks are required on both sides of the streets in new residential subdivisions in Aldergrove. Councilors decided to follow Major's recommendation to maintain the status quo. A letter from the Aldergrove chamber of commerce signed by asked for. an explanation as to why this was required in Aldergrove while not so in new Langley and Surrey subdivisions. "It- has been a policy of the municipality that we have sidewalks on both sides," said Major's report. "It is recommended that this policy continue. "When bylaw 1443 was passed calling for such items as sjdewalks, underground wiring, etc., it was, recognized by council that some discretion would have to be used particularly in Brookswood and Fort Langley as these areas are nearly completed "Aldergrove for years has been seeking a town and trading status and there Is nothing wrong with this desire, in fact it is to be lauded. To this end they demanded and were first with a water and sewer system. Also first with sidewalks on their business streets and so orr. "More than desire is required to create a pleasing small town.

This week another trivial matter which has nothing whatsoever to do with either personnel or land acquisition was quietly referred to the pretentious and austere cabinet where neither the public nor press Is allowed. The excuse? According to Aid. Stan Fraser: "It gets publicized and we sit here..." He didn't finish the sentence. Blood, clinic in August ALDERGROVE - A Red Cross blood donor clinic will be held in Aldergrove on Tuesday, August 14, at the O.A.P. hall, at 3015 - 273 Street, from 2 - 8 p.m. ments were only folly enforced where a' new road was being created as opposed to extending an existing road. In Aldergrove where both sewer and water was available the full standards applied. Even here it was a matter of evolution from no sidewalks to one sidewalk to double sidewalks. "Comparisons cannot be made between Aldergrove and Fort Langley or even Aldergrove and Brookswood which were developed under different rules and different, much larger lot sizes because of septic tanks and fields. Icvvalkstis part of our servicing t requirements and will be required in Walnut Grove and any other area that is developed to ' urban town status with complete servicing." Major also said the second sidewalk only raises the cost of a building lot by $125 and that a change In policy to sidewalks on only one side of subdivision streets wouldn't lower the price of a building lot. HUdebrandt, a local developer, disagreed with this assumption. Any added cost will add to the price the consumer in the end will have to pay, he said. Don't count on immediate action ALDERGROVE - Copy of a letter mailed to premier Bill Bennett was received last week by The Star. Although this newspaper cannot speak for the premier, we are of the opinion that not too much action will follow his receipt of the letter. It was Councilors vote pay raise for themselves MURRAYVILLE • Councilmen here voted themselves an Increase in salary this week. They will also have their health and dental care looked after by the public in future. Finance committee chairman Aid. Art Brooks reported on an opinion survey he had carried out amongst the members on the EDITORS PARADISO In search of missing publisher ALDERGROVE - "I never knew just how much my staff cares," Star editor Rudy Langmann said last week after he announced his plans to take three or four, days off in order to disappear Into the mountain wilderness of southern Washington state. "Be sure to sign my pay cheque before you leave," typesetter Suzette Mach told Langmann. "You call back at least every 48 hours, you hear?" said freelance photographer Rick Mcllwain who already had lost one boss a few days before through the mysterious disappearance of DN publisher Peter Lasch. Langmann said he was touched by all this caring, but that a main part of the reason he was heading for the bush was just in order to get away from. the telephone. He then callously laced up his climbing boots and strapped on his crampons and ice ax In hand headed for Mount Rainier. The mountaineering reporter later told the unbelievable tale of how he started out from Paradise and two days later worked his way through Cadaver Gap to reach Small rock outcrop- pings on the glacier just' above Disappointment Cleaver. The last 1,500 feet to the crater summit eluded our intrepid reporter when ominous storm clouds started to gather around the 14,410 feet mountain top while the hot aun was turning the top layer of the ice to mush all the way back to base camp on the 10,000 feet Cowlitz glacier. He beat a hasty retreat. With Ungmann, on the other end of the rope, was son Mark. seven-man council. Councilmen on an average thought that the mayor's paycheque should be increased from $15,600 to $16,505 per annum. On their own part they thought they should be paid $8,617 annually instead ofthe current $8,100. Increases varied from 5.8 percent for the mayor to 6.4 percent for other council members as compared to the union's negotiated 7.03 percent. Brooks pointed out. He also questioned council on whether or not aldermen should get the same consideration as employees in regards to fringe benefits. Employees contribute 50 percent toward a general health and dental care Insurance plan with the public picking up the remaining 50 percent of the tab. Councilmen voted unanimously in favor of the pay Increase, but Aid. BUI Blair voiced opposition when It came to the health coverage. "It is premature," he said, '"and we don't know what the cost to the municipality la going to be." unsigned. It states that ".... parents of the Langley school district are appealing to you to conduct a thorough investigation into the manner In which our school system is being run." It also alleges that "... many 'of us are well aware that there could be a misuse of public funds" and that "parcels of land have been purchased for new schools in the Langley district. Who stood to gain from these purchases? Arc large percentages of our tax dollars ending up in the pockets of public officials?" See editorial, page 4. The anonymous writer (writers?) further alleges that the B.C. public schools act is being violated by discriminatoiy practises such as "hiring of only religions principals." The Langley school system "could well be compared with the Mafia." The letter calls for Bennett to "bring this mess out into the open" and "(let us) have a school system which is headed by educators who have the necessary knowledge and training to do the job. Laymen who use the system as a means to further their political and religious ambitions have no business running our schools." The original of the letter appears to be unsigned as well judging from a paragraph stating that "the writers of this letter arc parents who have children In the school system in Langley, and we are ashamed to admit wc arc frightened to sign our names for fear of reprisals." It Is signed simply "Parents of Langley school district." Town Talk By RICK MclLWAIN and FRANZ LANGMANN This week's question: Would you be willing to pay the $18-20 for' Vancouver free calling? With the fact of B.C. Tel's referendum of two and a half years ago of 60% majority in favor of toll free calling, do you think they will go through with It? Al Brodlc: No, I wouldn't. I think they'd probably do as they please, and more than' likely they'd have to upgrade their exchanges. Big businesses do what they want. Peter Stapplcr: No way, atheyta.*i>,Wg, who;s.gotog.

Heath Gudewlll and Cyd Peacock: Absolutely yesll Why is it that after the referendum they said yes and now they say no? I'd be willing to pay $50 rental for toll free calling. B.C. Tel docs exactly what they want to do, to make money, just as in any monopoly! $150 a month (the cost for getting a Langley line in Aldergrove) will buy a $15,000 mortgage!

Restoration of old fire engine discussed by council MURRAYVILLE - A request from one of Langley's volunteer Assault complaint MURRAYVILLE - A complaint of assault has been filed with the RCMP here by Barry Hassell of Surrey. Hassell alleges he was assaulted by an unidentified male, that beer bottles were thrown at his car. and that he was then dragged from his car and beaten. The assault was alleged to have taken place at Venture Pit, a gathering place for local youths, on Saturday morning at approximately 2:40 a.m. fire departments for permission to restore an old fire engine as a recreational pursuit of the firefighter's was discussed by councilmcn here Monday morning. The engine wouldn't be put back into practical use, protection committee chairman Aid. Jock Lindsay reported. Other councilmcn seemed worried about the future of "the redundant fire engine", if it would become a museum piece to be stored later at the Fort Langley farm museum, or if it would mean that the municipality in due course would have to supply the funds for the storage of the restored vehicle. "They can always throw a plastic cover over it," suggested Aid. Bill Blair. No council... MURRAYVILLE - Because of the B.C. Day statutory holiday on Monday, August 6 there will be no meeting of township council. The normal committee meeting, scheduled for that day has been postponed for one week. It ' will precede the regular meeting on Monday, August 13 with committees starting at 9 a.m. and the public meeting at 2 p.m. All is quiet in Victoria ALDERGROVE - It is today three weeks since the cabinet committee met in Victoria to decide on the fate of the 800-acre Fraser Industrial Centre in north Aldergrove. At press deadline there was still no word from Victoria as to whether the ministers' response to the Gloucester Properties appeal was going to be aye or nay. Goodbrand given contract MURRAYVILLE - Goodbrand Construction Ltd. of Aldergrove has been awarded the contract for the 1979 municipal Aldergrove water installation program. Goodbrand was the lowest of eight bidders with a tendered price of $229,990. High bid was at $291,659.50. Work includes a main trunk pipeline on 264 Street, 32 Avenue and Fraser Highway. In recommending award of the contract to the local firm, municipal engineer Doug Kenyon pointed out that "funds were not budgeted in 1979 for the 264 Street work but this is vital to bring better capacity into the business area in Aldergrove." Kenyon added that the municipal treasurer had advised that there are sufficient funds in the Aldergrove impost reserve to cover this short fall. Money in the impost fund has been collected from developers in the area who in turn have passed this . extra cost on to the consumers.

The subsequent ministerial probe into the fundamental schools this summer was conducted under the cloak of a province-wide investigation into alternative schools, during the school holidays when most people are away on vacation. Neither LTA president Terry Eastman, nor commissioners Ona Mae Roy, Frank Beinder or Adam Anderson could be reached Monday for their comments. School board chairman Brian Westwood, however, was elated at the news. "This should go a long way towards stopping this nonsense the BCTF continues to turn up. It makes me sick. The minister has categorically denied any discrimination. There is a waiting list and children are accommodated as quickly as possible. The principal of the school adminsters entries. Only those whose parents don't subscribe to the Judeo-Christian philosophy are turned away". Westwood said further that there is no religious instruction in the fundamental schools other than bible reading. "Really all the minister did was to confirm what we already knew." The only LTA member who could be reached Monday was Walt Hennlg who commented that he was very disappointed at the ministry's findings. McGeer, he said, had promised a report by the end of July. "Last Friday was a long way away yet", he said. ' He pointed out that anyone from the ministry coming into Langley during the summer holidays to conduct an investigation would have had difficulty finding any of the people concerned, as nearly everyone is away on vacation. "They would have gone to the school board which would in turn have sent them to their supporters. This, is not fair treatment", Hennig said.

Everyone is away visiting relatives at the many 'Dingle-weed Junctions' and 'Cowslip Crossings' on the Prairies. Most 'prairieites' candidly admit after living in B.C., the prairies are nice to "come from" but as far as living is concerned, no place at all to "go to".

It must be admitted that a lot of pensioners who live in apartments and homes in the city of Aldergrove do not as a rule find neighbors' cows in their gardens, but they will find themselves so healthy and spry they will be seen sprinting up to the post office and grocery store and totally disdaining to use a car.

He pointed out that permanent waste disposal methods have not been developed, and that California nuclear reactor lie-, enlis'stfe nof biSing1 granted for' ■ this .reason. Criticism of the- general electric reactor system to be used on the Skagit project byNuclearRegulatoryCommission experts' was cited by the B.C. member of parliament as good cause for his constituents to be alarmed. He said the reactor "building" should be so designed that no radioactive contamination escapes in the event of an accident, including a rupture of the reactor vessel or "a core melt down." Much of the debate over the Sedro Woolley site has been devoted to it's geological hazards. Within the last 100 years there has been several 7+ on the richtcr scale earthquakes within miles of the Sedro Wool- ley site. Wenman felt that the site involves an element of risk because of the concentration of earthquake activity in that region in contrast to the geologically much more stable interior of Washington state so the applicants, Puget Power, should select another site if they are determined to possess the nuclear option, Wenman said.

We do not print anonymous letters' to the editor, nor are we In favor of quoting from such writings. This week we decided to make an exemption to the rule after we received an unsigned copy of a letter mailed to Premier Bill Bennett. It Is not that we think that the premier will act In any-other way than we normally do, simply by depositing the document In the nearest trash can, - but we quote from the letter in a front page article this week simply In order to Illustrate the fact of the prolonged mud-sllnglng match between two extremist factions in Langley educational circles. At the same time we advise our readers not to put any more credence into a letter of this type than we (and we are sure our provincial premier as well) do. The letter could obviously have been authored by any of the two sides just In order to discredit the "enemy". We do not tell our readers what they should do if, they were to receive a copy of the letter. It Is entirely up the individual.

Thev will infest publie campsites of the parks board as thick as fleas upon the armpits of camels. Husbands arc the easiest to pinpoint. Thev are the ones with the stunned look, sitting on camp chairs alongside a zillion-dollar camper and grimly clutching a glass of corn squcczins' or a cold beer... and wondering how in hell The Doll talked them into a thrcc-thous- and-mlle drive, only to end up cheek-by-jowl with a hundred other disgruntled husbands. The wives are also easily identified. They are the ones with their tattered curls wrapped in a bandanna, wondering where the hell the nearest Salon de Coiffures is located ■■ and how Himself solf-talkcd Ihem into a thrcC'lhousand-milc drive! They arc universally attired in shorts and halters. Their bottoms are festooned with poinsct- tia-shaped target areas where B.C. mosquitoes zeroed in on the Youngc Street Smorgasbord. As each new camper rolls in,- spewing a dust cloud over the hamburgers incinerating to an interesting black on the barbecue, they scratch; they cuss a bit ... and the plaintively ask, "What went wrong?" Now I'll tell you: If you have a camper or trailer, you have brought Pandora's Box of civilization with you -- complete wilh tranquilizers and a built-in bar.

So what has all this got to do with turning disaster into para- disc? I'll tell you: Within The Grub Box is a little, bright blue nylon lent, sufficient for two ancients and one small dog. Tightly rolled, il weighs perhaps two pounds and lakes up but a corner of The Grub Box. It has nylon mesh bug screens.

Within the tent, Ihe gas lamp is perched on The Grub Box between two sleeping bags wherein the aforesaid ancients are respectively pursuing "The Decline and Fall of the Third Empire" and Max Di- monl's "Jews, God and History". The small dog does not read and is content lo curl al the foot of one sleeping bag, at peace with the world. On Ihe port and starboard corners of The Grub Box arc mugs of hot rum, mixing their fragrance of nutmeg and Dcm- crara with Ihe perfume of Balkan Sobranic from two battered pipes. Within Ihe magical depths of The Grub Box are bay leaves and orcgano and sweet basil and cloves of garlic.

By BOB WENMAN, MP The plight of the Vietnamese refugees seems to have finally captured the attention of the world. Towns and private organizations are clamouring to sponsor refugees and politicians are demanding that the government quota be increased. The match that lit .the fuse of this issue was the refusal of Malaysia to allow anymore boat people to land and forcing them out to sea again if they attempt to do so. The Hai Hong affair last December generated some public interest and convinced the Liberal government to increase their quota of Southeast Asian refugees but the public's concern waned in a few weeks. If yoil are a regular reader of this column you might remember that last fall I began writing 'In Canada, they pay $3.75 to see a horror show,....we get ours free.' into the trees. The Doll won't notice your absence - she will be busy discussing children and Ihe Iaslcst thing in hair-do's with the lady in the next camper. Proceed a sufficient distance into the trees until you no longer smell the stench of gasoline fumes and barbecued weenies. Go a Utile further, until the trees drown out the squeals of children and the roar of diesel tandem rigs on the highway. The silence will frighten you at first. Set up your little tent-and you will suddenly realize you have discovered a strange, fascinating and wonderful new world! You will realize you don't know a half-hitch from a clove- hitch. That you are puffing and wheezing from a gentle five- minute walk. Most of all, you will realize that the old squeeze box between the cars is tired, Tired, tircdl Now let's create a miraclcl Stretch out on the moss and pine needles, look up at the sky and the drifting clouds through the branches of an understanding tree.

ROGER WORTH In Charlottetown, P.E.I., a barber was forced to stop serving female customers. The reason: a "men only" clause in the lease he had signed with a shopping centre developer. The developer was protecting a women's hair salon in the same plaza. The situation may sound petty, even ridiculous, yet it's a prime example of the way developers and their major tenants effectively coerce independent businesses, generally restricting freedom and perhaps reducing competition. In Ihe long run, the anticompetitive nature of some of, the leases may become a political issue as rapidly rising costs force the prices the independents charge at shopping centres to higher and higher levels. What's more, the exploding growth of shopping centres has changed Canadian buying patterns so that today 35% of the country's retail trade is almost double the total in 1969. While .sales jgrowth has been relatively slow for independent. retailers operating outside the malls, there's little wonder many have refused to make the move to shopping centres. The causes for antipathy to Ihe new malls is not hard to find. The basic problem: the' ovbrriding power of the anchor' stores - supermarkets and department chains - that effectively force restrictions on small business people. Some examples of how the system operates: What we need most By IRENE ORWICK A little more kindness, A little less creed, A little more giving, A little less greed, A little more smile, A little less frown, A little less kicking, A man when he is down, A few more flowers • The anchor stores or "gatekeepers" decide who will be allowed to compete with them in , .. . „, many new centres, deciding who A5"! Pass throu?h llfe' will be allowed to rent space. *"lfew" °" «rav" , Particularly galling is the fact At ,he end of the stnfe' that discount stores are in most cases outlawed because they ™™*^~"" tend to undercut chain store prices. • The chain stores in many cases pay less than half the rent of independent business people, claiming they draw the customers to the plaza so their rents should be lower. Yet this places the smaller store owner at a disadvantage, forcing the independent to sell at higher prices to cover the additional costs. • There is a tendency for developers and their major tenants to favor corporately operated outlets of various types, rather than local independent businesses. • Finally, the powerful chains tend to exert control over store hours, the types of merchandise sold, advertising policies, even insurance coverage and the labor that can be used to complete a store's interior. Some independent businessmen, of course, are successful in this type of environment. The real question, though, is whether this activity reduces competition, insuring than more and more shopping centres will change the nature of independent business as well as the Canadian landscape. Roger Worth is director of public affairs, Canadian Federation of Independent Business. about the refugees and Informing you of ways In which you could assist them. I still believe Canada can and should do more. In a June 26 letter to the Toronto Globe and Mail I stated that "Last year Canada took in 85,000 immigranta and 4,100 of these were classified as refugees. This year, the target is 100,000 immigrants and 12,000 of these are expected to be Indo Chinese refugees. Between mid-1975 and March 31st, 1979, 11,675 Southeast Asian refugees were resettled in Canada whereas Australia, a country of half the population, similar social structure and employment rate as Canada had settled 18,414 refugees over the same period. Within that 100,000 target, Canada can easily accept twice as many refugees as it now plans to. A group of five or more Canadians can sponsor a refugee. The government provides language, manpower training and an interest free loan for the trip to Canada for the refugee. The refugee or the sponsoring group can pay the loan back. The estimated cost for a sponsoring group is 11500 which is for 6 months. My constituency office at 20423 Douglas Crescent in Langley (phone 530-1424) can supply you with the proper forms. As you think about the sponsorship program you might consider a few things. In May 45,000 refugees reached a safe, if temporary haven in Southeast Asia. They are the lucky ones. The survival rate for the overloaded refugee boats is estimated at between 30 and 50 percent, which means that between 45,000 and 90,000 men, women and children drowned in the South China Sea in May. Even at the height of the Vietnam war, very few months managed to produce such a horrendous death roll as this. Or on December 16, 1941 the Struma sailed with 769 Jewish passengers from Cons- tanza, Romania. Off the coast of Turkey the ship broke down, but the Turks said no they could not come ashore. The Nazi extermination program was at full throttle now. Ten weeks the boat lay at anchor waiting for permission by the British to let the passengers go to Haifa In Palestine. When the answer came it was no, so the Turks towed the boat out to sea where it sank, in full view of the crowd onshore and 767 people drowned. The world now looks back upon'that and other incidents of the Holocaust with well deserved guilt. Today the awareness of the boat people's problem is much sharper and the response is improving. However, the T.V. news should show some of those boat people trying to land in their ill-fated boats because words don't seem to convey the urgency of their plight: people seem to need more. I would like to thank those of you who have or will be contributing to Canada's contribution to the resolution of the Southeast Asian refugee proglcm. To the other readers I hope that you consider the sponsorship prog- ram if you can financially afford it. Remember you church or community group can act as a sponsoring group. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Lapse of logic What's all the fuss about? Editor, The Star, Sir, Why all the fuss over the proposed amendment to the Trinity Western College Act? It seems obvious that the public institutions arc attempting to protect the monopoly within our post secondary education system, a monopoly that, if not broken, will prevent students and teaching staff alike from excelling to their fullest potential. When I introduced the bill to amend the Trinity Western College Act, to give them degree granting privileges, I didn't expect to uncover or draw out the real concern of other degree granting institutions. The fact is, they cannot stand competition. They need competition and if their programs arc as good or better than that of Trinity Western College, they have absolutely nothing to worry about. The government appointed Council of the Universities who bitterly oppose the bill should remember that their sole responsibility is to act as a liaison between public unviersitles and government. They do not make decisions, they merely make recommendations. Therefore, since Trinity Western College is private institution, they have absolutely no jurisdiction over them. Dr. Gibson, chairman of the Universities Council says that Trinity Western College had no right to apply to government for such status, before consulting with them. I suggest that he consider his council's mandate. He also expresses his concern about the teachings of a religious college. I would suggest that a little more religion may be substantially beneficial in all of our learning Institutions. He makes reference to imports. Does this mean he Is going to discriminate against youth from outside of our country? Frankly speaking, I did not expect that I was stirring up a little storm which could become a hurricane but I feel confident that we can withstand the flurry that this Is obviously creating and I am also confident that this private bill will be successful. WILLIAM S. RITCHIE, M.L.A. Central Fraser Valley. Editor, The Star, Sir, According to your paper, school board chairman Brian Westwood says he is against giving extended leave of absence to Mr. Eastman, president of the Langley Teachers' Association, because this is "a frivolous request." This in spite of the fact that the Langley teachers voted to pay Mr. Eastman's salary so that he could devote full time to the presidency for ' another year. In order to do this he requires the permission of the board of school trustees. Mr. Westwood is reported to claim that Mr. Eastman will just use this time to "create more dust" and that teachers want to leave to do frivolous things such as to study birds on a Pacific atoll or ceiling tiles In Patagonia. Either The Star is guilty of misquoting Mr. Westwood or else he Is guilty of a grave lapse of logic. If the first, then The Star has an obligation to make an apology for worsening an already bad situation or if the second, then Mr. Westwood owes an apology to Mr. Eastman and those other teachers who for very worthy reasons wish to remain off the payroll for a period of time. It might be timely to point out that the main reason that the Langley teachers voted to have Mr. Eastman as a full-time president and accept the extra expense was due to the school board's belligerent and vindictive attitude toward certain of its teachers and administrative staff. Some members of the board decry the poor personnel relations yet continue a policy that creates discord. The whole situation would be funny at times if it weren't so damaging. It reminds mc of the story of the little kid who was in the habit of pulling the cat's tall and when scolded for this looked at his mother In false innocence and said, "Mommy, I'm not pulling, the cat's pulling." It seems toinc that notwithstanding the possibility of sensational reporting, which The Star seems to avoid, Mr. West- wood has a genius for creating dissent. His rather aggressive and spiteful approach may be popular with a certain element in the community but it creates increased problems in a school district already racked by the strains of rapid growth and financial cutbacks. One wonders If Mr. Westwood and some other rather truculent board members have forgotten the Christian ethic of "doing unto others". Possibly Mr. W. should come to realize that the greatest contribution he could make to education in the Langley district would be to resign and apply his peculiar talents to activities that arc more appropriate to them.

Summer Games in Richmond consist of only four days in August, preparations for the event began many months ago. President of the Richmond Summer Games Society, Irene Vennars, first recommended that Richmond bid on the Games in 1977. "In March of 1978, we took the bid to Ron Butlin, General Chairman of the B.C. Summer Games, who in turn presented it to the Advisory Committee," says Mrs. Vennard. ' The bid outlined .the existing sports facilities in Richmond, stated how the athletes would be housed and fed, etc., and projected a budget. "A major plus helping Richmond win the bid was the fact that we have in this community facilities comparable to any in B.C." Mrs. Vennard formed the Games Society along with eight members who became the directors of the individual committees. "I outlined the responsibilities of each committee to the directors who then undertook the task Caps melt the Blizzard down By BOB LEDBROOK VANCOUVER ■ After the White- caps had taken the 3-0 lead and still threatened more goals, Toronto Blizzards sat back and watched. The Caps kept .on coming on with some beautiful one-touch soccer. The first nail in the coffin came at the seven-minute mark with inspiring midfielder Alan Ball lobbing the ball over keeper Blajoe's head into empty net. The Caps outran and outplayed their opponents all night. Caps midfielders were having a field day. Thirty-seven minutes Into the game, Bolitho passed to Ball who passed to Sammels. He blazed in an 18 yeard goal. That was the score at halftime, with 21,409 fans giving the Vancouver players a standing ovation to the dressing rooms. The second half began with the Caps still four regular players short, Hector, Possee, Craven and Kenyon, but the reshuffled team made it look as If. noone was missing. Carl Valentine started one of his long runs, switched the ball to Whymark who sidestepped to the left and drove an unstoppable shot past the near post. After that goal Toronto was bombarded from every flank, the Caps brought on young Steve Nesin, a Canadian Whitecap on his debut, and he nearly scored as well. Alan Hinton is now in town with his Tulsa Roughnecks who face the Caps on Wednesday at 8 p.m. at Empire Stadium. Then the Whitecaps travel to Portland to race the Timbers at 8 p.m. Saturday (BCTV live at 8 p.m.) Caps are now the big subject of conversation in Vancouver as the most successful sports team for a long time, and it could get better with soccer-bowl looming as the top prize.

Mrs. Vennard visited last summer's Games in Penticton to gather some insight as to how Richmond would stage the ■ affair. "In Penticton, two groups of 1500 athletes came to town for two days each. This resulted In two opening ceremonies and no official closing ceremonies. In Richmond, all 3500 contestants will be brought in together. Everyone will be present at the opening and closing ceremonies." Mrs. Vennard says Richmond will benefit In other ways beyond the obvious attention that will be drawn to the community from hosting the Games. . "When a great number of people come to town, it is good for the local merchants. The increased business will create jobs for students and others who, might otherwise not have work." There is no doubt that Richmond will become a province- wide focal point in August. Says Mrs. Vennard "It is an all round exciting venture for the community. Big event motocross in Aldergrove ALDERGROVE - Motocross in Aldergrove started bdack in 1965 when the Totem Motorcycle Club held Its races on a piece of property on LeFeuvre Rd. If .there was a turnout of 40 riders it used to be considered a big day. Riders like Stan Johnson, Pete Van Bruegcl, Bob Underhill, Wayne Schuler, Andy De- Luca and Fred Kemp were some of the top riders in those days. Weather permitting, there was a weiner roast and a get-together in the old barn after the races. A larger place was needed for the National Championship in 19,72 and the club moved to Stampeder Park on Bradner Rd. In September, the championships were held with the 12 top Soccer player* riders from B.C. riding against 12 riders from Indian Dunes, California. The event saw in excess of 250 riders participating in the 2 days, and an enormous number of spectators. (3000+). The life of the track was short lived as some neighbors figured 'the racing would draw some undesirable motocyclists, and so the track was closed down. We were fortunate enough to find' a' new piece of property. It is owned by the Langley Municipality on Jackman Rd., in Aldergrove. In late 1973 we formed the Aldergrove. Competition Motorcycle Association to build a track. We raced on this track u«t_l*1976. In 1977, due to the gravel liberation, we had to relocate onot more, but remained on the\same property in a different area,' and built a new track. Over the. years we have moved an uncountable number of yards of dirt and sand onto the gravel and rocky areas of the track. In 1978 we built a permanent drop type starting gate, the first one in B.C. This year the rider turnout has increased once again,, and an average event draws from 250 to 300 competitors. For the Junior-Schoolboy National Championship we have a few more changes in mind. The B.C. Oldtimers will assist in running off the races. All qualifiers will be held on Sunday, August Sth, where the riders will have 2 chances to qualify. On Monday, August 6th, the finals will take place where the top 36 riders in each class will ride 2-25 minute motos. wonted Soccer players born in 1966 wanted, call Syd Anderson 856-6989 or Larry Ramus 856-2903.

LANGLEY FIELD NATURALISTS Teapot interesting trek By MARY PASTRICK LANGLEY • The Teapot Hill trip was led by Vic Mill on June 24. He was accompanied by members of the Alouette Field Naturalists, Abbotsford naturalists, Chilliwack Field Naturalists and the Langley Field Naturalists. On the trip along the Teapot Hill trail, Vic pointed out a number of insects, woolley aphid., leaf curling spider, winged aphids, leaf miners on a broad leafed dock plant, a hairy snail and a nuthatch was heard as well as a warbler, red eyed vireo and woodpeckers. Further along the trail there were maiden hair fern, hemp nettle, large round leafed orchid almost in full bloom, found by Trudy Patrick, and was the only one found in that area that day. The tall, yellow impatience (small flowered snapweed) grew very thickly' in the shadows of the large trees of the forest. Large leafed avens, coral root, penstcmon, pyrola, turks cap and path finder plants were also noted. The beautiful tall, white spikes of the phantom orchids were the highlight of the day. These waxy white orchids arc rare, with only a few bcitiR recorded in this area as well as the Sky Meadows reserve, where Mrs. Tyc led the group to the orchid patch. Although the flowers were nearly finslhcd blooming, they were not as numerous this year on the four acre ecology reserve. The orchid Is sensitive to light and loves the density of the forest area, tucked Into the earth, with wild ginger and vanila leaf flowers for company. Over the past few years, only three flowers have gone to seed. Other birds sighted were cedar waxwings, towhecs, winter wren, varied thrush and calliope hummingbirds. A black throated gray warbler and tan tailed pigeon noted too. Upon reaching the top of the hill, unequalled scenery sprad through the valley far below, where many shades of green trees pressed their way right to the far edges of the clear water of Cultus Uke and transformed the majestic mountains into a picturesque countryside. Two other field trips had been planned. One to Mlttlenatch Island and the other to Lighthouse Park. So far, no report has been turned In. Weekly workshops have been carried out at Campbell Valley park. These workshops are for compiling the first booklet on the birds of the park. Next Field Trip Manning park July 21,22, to sec alpine flowers and the many species of butterflies on this nature walk. Meet Al Grass at 10 a.m. at the nature house. Aug. 12 - Nature hike to lower falls at Golden Ears park. Meet at 10 a.m. at the information centre.

Council refuses Christian day school MURRAYVILLE - The Canadian Free Gospel International Education Society has sought the permission of township council to open a Christian day school at 21695 - 56 Avenue. After discussing the applicant's letter, councilors decided to deny the request. The property was too close to-the flight way of the Langley municipal airport, they felt, and would eventually result in complaints about airplane noise from the religious school. If the school would locate on another property they would JHCOiUrr STOCKYARDS Prices climb slightly have no objections, councilmen said.

By MIKE KERRY ALDERGROVE - You may have noticed that this column has not appeared In the last two issues of the Aldergrove Star. We've been on vacation and we used the time tri relax and gain strength, both physically and spiritually. The renewed strength came from fresh air, exercise, a change of scene and from worshipping the Lord away from the usual routine. Worship must not be a chore. If you find that your Christianity is becoming dull, then you ought to allow something to change, because worship should be invigorating, exciting and life-sustaining. It may not be possible to go on vacation to get out of your rut, but there are several things you can do. Here is one suggestion. Make a date with the Lord. Arrange a meeting between Jesus and yourself for half an hour of quiet discussion. The early morning is often suitable because that's a time of quietness when your mind is clear and your are slightly hungry, eager to receive. Keep your date. Make your. - self comfortable and start with a 2 prayer: "Lord Jesusi'I've co|jte Jit 16 talk to you and to listen, to you. I pray that this time of communication between you and me will be a blessing, amen." So far you have made a date, kept it and said a prayer. To do so you've acted in faith and your prayer will be answered, so expect God's blessing. Next open your Bible and read God's word. Read a chapter from one of the gospels and one , from Psalms, using a modern translation such as the "Good News Bible". Think about what you've read and underline any parts that speak to you. Spend the rest of the half hour praying, preferably out loud. Prayers don't have to be in any order, but a good mnemonic is the word ACTS. Its letters stand for Adoration (tell God you love him); Confession (ask him to forgive you); Thanksgiving (thank him for the things you don't like as well as those you do like); and Supplication (ask his help for 'special needs that you know about, including your own needs). An appointment with Jesus is always a blessing, because it helps to keep him at the centre of your life all day. Naturally a time of devotion every day is better than an occasional one, but just a single meeting with Jesus will get you out of your rut. ' •♦» ' Last Suhday the two local United churches held morning services at the normal times, 9:30 a;m. at Mount Lehman and 11:00 a.m. at Aldergrove. Though some families were away, there were many who came to enjoy the music, fellowship and preaching. ' Rev. Ford's sermon was called "Walking with the Lord". John 6:66' states "....from that time many of; his disciples turned back and walked no more with him." Some of the followers of Jesus decided to .end their relationship with him because they could not accept the extraordinary claims he made about himself. Jesus revealed his true identity as God the Son. "I am the bread of life;" he said, "....if anyone eats this bread, he will live forever." (verses 48 and 51). Jesus' was speaking in a prophetic way about his death on the cross and how his body and blood.represented the new life In every believer. To the Jews of that time, who understood the meaning of animal sacrifice, the statement was easy to understand, but hard to accept. Jesus was claiming to be the very life of God, come down from heaven, and that no one could face eternity without submitting to him. Those same claims are ours to accept or reject today. Like- those Jews, we have the choice. It Is possible to walk with the Lord and not be aware of his presence. The two disciples on the road to Emmaus are an example of this, (Luke 24:13-35). Like them we are inclined to let events overwhelm us and forget the promise of Jesus that he will never leave use nor forsake us. Even when we are in the valley of the' shadow of death, we should fear no evil, for he is with us, Our walk with the Lord should - be taken with a light-hearted step, because his presence is a cause for celebration. It should also be a challenge, for we arc ALDERGROVE BAPTIST CHURCH '28163 Swensson Ave, SUNDAY FAMILY BIBLE HOUR MSa.nl.

The 1914 Eair Book describes the town, of Aldergrove as situated about half way between New Westminster and Chilliwack on the well-known Yale,Road, and the business centre of a rich farming and lumbering district.; In those days there were three good general stores, a first-class temperance hotel, besides a blacksmith shop, shingle mills and the Central Telephone office. There was also a new tw* roomed school and church,, two public halls, and transportation provided by the Great Northern Railroad and the B.C.E.R. from Jackman Station, and a .motor bus which ran daily to and from New Westminster.

Sth and 9th at the Aldergrove Elk's hall. The Fair Books are being mailed out this week to last year's exhibitors. Fair Books may be picked up at the Aldergrove Star office, the- local library and various stores in town. The Fall stoics, owned by Messrs. Smith Fair is .sponsored by the Aldergrove Agricultural Association. The Aldergrove Agricultural Assn. became incorporated under the Societies Act in 1912. with the object of promoting, agriculture in the area and of holding agricultural exhibitions. In looking back in the early books of the association, much & Parr of interest was found about the early Aldergrove district. In the first years from 1912, Mr. A. Westland was president, Jos.

Due j,nd keyboards, two drummers and'once again lots of energy. The combination of good, clear production and strong song writing make this record worth checking out. There are at least three good singles on the album and with a bit of airplay this record could be big. A third record that has become big because of hit singles is Cool for cats by Squeeze. This is the second album from this English group and it is a- big improvement on the debut LP. Where the first record had three great songs and the rest of the album just plodded along, this one features at least six catchy pop tunes, two of which have already been top ten hits in England. The other tracks endear themselves to the listener because of their deadpan hu- group with more energy than your average, nuclear reactor is the Dickies from Los Angeles. Their first album, The Incredible Shrinking Dickies, contains thirteen energy packed songs most of which clock in under two minutes. Their humour is evident in the song titles such as 'Walk like an egg' and 'shake & bake' while their style shines best in their cover songs, 'Paranoid' and 'Eve of destruction*. Just imagine that classic protest sopg of the 60's being reduced to a two minute exercise In high speed enunciation; the hlghlite of the album. New York pop is represented here with ' an album by the Granati Brothers called G-Force. Their music is the traditional mour and inventive keyboard style, but underneath all the laughter lies a very sardonic view of relationships betweeen modern young people. Squeeze' aren't just a bunch of overgrown school boy clowns (as they have been called) but are serious musicians who are capable of making people happy and they have done a good job of it on this record.' The best is saved for last and in this case the best is Look Sharp by. Joe Jackson. The big COflfrov^y,surrounding Jackson is whether or not he is an Elvis Costello clone. The comparisons are that he Is a young English singer-songwriter, writes angry love songs, uses both rock and roll and reggae effectively and looks a bit of a geek. My reply is that he sounds like a whole lot of singers, Southside Johnny for sure, and even a bit of Graham Parker and that' as an Elvis Costello fan 1 love this' album. Short,. danceable songs with enough variations to be Intersting and lots of originality in the lyric deparment makes this a happy addition to my record collection. Once the radio started playing Costello North America turned right on to him. If they are smart they will start playing Joe Jackson now because he can deflnately deliver the goods.

The Fair Day was listed as a big feature In the life of Aldergrove and was visited not only by folks of the surrounding district, but by many visitors from New Westminster and elsewhere. Over the years the association used several halls for their exhibitions - the Orange hall which used to be next door to William's Machine Shop and the Bedford hall above Quiring's garage - the latter was used as an auxiliary overflow. The early members worked very hard with endless dances, card parties, shows, etc. to raise money for a hall and in 1923 the Aldergrove Agricultural hall was built where today the Round House restaurant stands. This hall was sold in 1961 and thereafter flower shows were held in the United church hall and Fall Fairs were held in the Aldergrove high school and from 1965 on, in the Elk's hall. Besides putting on flower shows and Fall Fairs the agricultural Assoc, has sponsored a Rose Queen pageant from 1971 till the present. The queen and princesses attend special functions in the district throughout the year of their reign. Some years back, the associ ation gave six and one-half acres of land to the municipality for a park which is now Aldergrove park arid later one-half acre to build a swimming pool as well as donating $3,000 towards the cost of the latter. A bursary of $100 is given each year to a student, preferably one who is going to further his or her studies in Agriculture or Home Economics.

LANGLEY • Volunteers are urgently needed for five aspects of a volunteer program being organized by Rob Keys and Linda Denny at the Langley Mental Health Centre. The two are coordinators of the Volunteers In-service Program (V.I.P.) and arc looking for both men and women volunteers over the age of eighteen. These volunteers could be students, senior citizens, retired people or house wives - anyone with time on their hands and caring in their hearts. "We have five different programs in mind," said Bob. "With five programs, not only would the needs of the clients be covered, but different interests of volunteers will be accommodated as well." Volunteer services would extend to clients in community boarding homes, outpatients of Riverview hospital as well as individuals in their own homes. "The need for a closer contact for the clients with others in the community was recognized by the staff and we were asked to set up the program," Linda said. The program is flexible and volunteers can choose the program in which they wish to be involved. The frequency of the volunteer work can also be arranged to suit the Individual, but a minimum of three hours every two weeks is required, and a commitment of at least six months is requested. The first program, "Community Friends", provides the opportunity to befriend someone in need. Through home visits, outings and shared experiences, volunteers help Mental Health clients to lead more productive and satisfying lives. • The Aldergrove Star COMICS presented by Et.

The "Boarding Home Activity" program involves volunteers in the organizing and running of group activities for emotionally and physically handicapped clients in community boarding homes. The volunteers would be involved in activities such as swimming, bowling, social outings, arts and crafts, etc. in a ratio of about three volunteers to approximately twelve clients. Group therapy comprises the third program where the volunteers assist a counsellor in conducting various therapy procedures. The therapy sessions will be held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. However, a volunteer need only commit him/herself to one session a week. In the Co-Volunteer program, volunteers help and encourage the emotionally and physically handicapped to contribute their services to the community. Rob and Linda explained that such involvement is very beneficial in assisting the client to get back into community life. Finally, the fifth program involves the volunteer in raising funds. "Of course, any of these programs need some funding, and a volunteer could help in planning fund-raising projects if he didn't want to work directly with a client," said Rob. Training sessions begin on July 30 and run for a total of five Monday evenings from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Volunteers would have input into the program and they would also receive continuous direction and support from the staff at the Mental Health office. Limited funding is available for shell items as babysitting so that mothers may participate in the program. "Don't forget," said Rob, "that helping others helps yourself." A close, friendly contact "can make a tremendous difference to a client's return to good health." The Co-ordinators have arranged to man an information booth in the Willowbrook mall in Langley on July 27 and 28. They can be reached at 530-2341 or by dropping in to the Mental Health office at #202, 20560 - 56 Avenue in Langley. STUDENTS • TIME ON YOUR HANDS WITH NOTHING TO DO?

VICTORIA - More British Columbians took a trip during the first quarter of this year compared with the first three months of 1978, and a higher percentage are vacationing in their own province, tourism minister Don Phillips said last week. Tourism B.C.'s ongoing monitor of travel by British Columbians indicates that 1.6 million residents travelled during the first quarter of 1979 compared with 1.59 million during the same period last year. The percentage of residents travelling within the province during the three-month period increased from 63 percent in 1978 to 66 percent in 1979.

In 1978 Just over 200 broiler farmers.in B.C. produced nearly 73 million pounds of chicken - broilers, routers and cornish hens - and a very luge percentage of it was raised right here in the Fraser Valley. The impact of the broiler chicken industry on the local economy Is not generally known. It generates Innumerable jobs in hatcheries, processing plants, wholesaling and retailing, feed companies the form equipment industry, trucking, animal health services, and even civil servants who Inspect the meat before it reaches the consumer. The British Columbia Broiler Marketing Board, made up of 'broiler fanners, is responsible for the Industry and must make sure, that the chicken reaches the market when, • where and how it is needed and at a price which Is good for the farmer and1 good for the consumer. Broiler farms range in size from the small farms, raising 10,000 birds it ■ time, to the growers, with the maximum quota of 56,000 birds every ten weeks. Raising the birds Is complex- and sophisticated science and only constant improvements over, the years have kept the quality up and the price down to an economic level. Hatcheries receive the fertile eggs from the 38 broiler breeder farms (almost "tf."^:'" *.- ' all of them here in the valley) and the eggs take. 21 days to hatch. The broiler farmer has to be ready to take-'the baby chicks the day the are hatched. The bam must be clean and heated to the right temperature all equipment "must be in place and in good working-order and then the real effort comes to boil. During the first few days of the chickens' life, they need almost constant attention and while they are growing to just the right weight for their trip to the .killing plant, the farmer must watch carefully tor disease, genetic problems, exact levels of feed and water, correct heating and ventilation and a host of things that Mother Nature can do to you if you are a fanner. After the birds are shipped out, the farmer starts to get ready to do it ill over again about two weeks later. . Farming has always been equated with funny smells, noises at peculiar hours and what some people euphemistically call dirt. With the steady spread of urbanization In the valley, these natural by-products of farming have recently become "an assault on the environment" and the modern broiler, grower Is hard put to it to -find ways, often very expensive ways, of avoiding .offending the susceptibilities of his new neighbors. Each year the demand for chicken Increases, in the past ten years. It has more than doubled, and your neighborhood broiler growers are ready, willing and able to make sure that the future demands art met. The next time you take a firm grip on a drumstick use your other hand to raise your hat, to the guy, who put It there. The swine mdu •C sees many newcomers this year By DAVID POLLEN In the list year or so, there has been a good deal of Interest In the swine industry, for various reasons. This has resulted in quite a number of newcomers to our industry. I use the word "Industry" because that is what it now is. Gone are the days when a few old sows wallowed in the mire and sheltered from the elements in a tumbledown shack. We now see modern barns, often with sophistiscated devices for controlling the environment and regulating the feed, needing far less labor in terms of feeding and cleaning chores. Also a great deal more Is now known about genetics, nutrition and veterinary medicine. Even the marketing of. pigs has become better organized and much more consideration is given to the quality of the carcass and the price structure is related to the quality.. Needless to. say, all this improvement costs a great deal of money. - . It now costs around $300,000 to $400,000 to build barns and buy the Initial stock to rim'a 100 sow, "farrow to finish" operation. Local bylaws often dictate a minimum of 10 or even 20 acres before a permit is granted and land In this valley can sell for up to $8,000 an acre although It Is fair to say that some has sold for less. It Is also fair to say, that some people can cut the cost of the building by supplying their own labor and cutting out some of the fancy gadgets, such as automatic feeders and ventilation devices. Much has been said on this subject, and I for one, feel quite strongly that a bit of manual work does not hurt anyone and it certainly can save a great deal of money. More Important, close contact with the animals, such as hand feeding and cleaning gives the operator a twice 'dally look at them. This enables him (or her) to see at once if an animal 1s not eating, looking miserable and therefore possibly sick and being able to do something about It. It is called "stockmanship!" . That brings me back to all the newcomers to pig farming. A vast amount of knowledge Is required to run a farm efficiently. A farmer must be an engineer, builder electrician and vet-, erinarian - all rolled into one. In addition' he must have a good business sense, as many thousands of dollars are invested and also involved in the operating costs of Ihe farm. So how does a person learn? Well some of the new pig farmers already have dairy or poultry farms and have a knowledge of some of the things mentioned above. Others, varying from builders, school teachers, car repairers and policemen have to learn the hard way. There Is nothing better than working oh a pig' form to get first hind experience. Of course that is not always possible. We sometimes have people here at the weekend just to get to know the routine and get used to handling baby pigs of about 4 lbs. to some of our larger boars weighing 800 lbs. This can be quite an eye opener to a city dweller on his first visit. In addition, I have been Instructing evening classes through the Fraser Valley College and Ungley School Board since last October and more classes are planned starting September '79 for as long as they are needed. In these classes of nine two- hour sessions, It Is attempted to give a close look at the practiced aspects of pig farming. This covers selection of stock, breeding, feeding, a great deal of veterinary informitiorC ventilation, building and cash flow related to management and correct marketing. A wide variety of people attend these classes, after driving several miles and often staying until well after the end of the session to ask questions and discuss plans for their proposed barns etc. What Is the reason for all the Interest in our industry? One reason seems to be that It Is one of the few livestock industries not requiring i very expensive quota. Also we ire helped by the Income Assurance scheme, which in i bad year would guarantee the producer a living. This Is a fair scheme to both producers and taxpayer. The financial institutions recognize this and it has helped the person needing a loan to start - Con't. on page 3 — !__ ;•____________ THE ALDERGROVE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1979 ' ., ONE CHICKEN FOR EVERY B.C. RESIDENT Leo VanTongeren poses with flat lots ol B.C.'s finest. Automation Is the key word In modern egg farms. Egg production in B.C. By LEO VAN TONGEREN There are 200 commercial egg producers in British Columbia.. In total these producers look after roughly 2.6 million laying hens. It is interesting to note that there is approximately one egg producing chicken for every person in B.C. On the average,' each hen lays 2S4 eggs per year and on the average, each person consumes 254 eggs per year. Egg consumption has increased substantially over the past two years. This is partly due to the increased cost of other sources of protein. One dozen grade 'A' large eggs weighs at least l'/i pounds. If a dozen eggs cost SI. 10 the price is less than 75 cents per pound. This converts to about one cent per gram of protein, a most economical source of versatile nutrition. New research relating to cholesterol has also helped to increase egg consumption. It is now believed that the amount of cholesterol we get in our food is not harmful to normal, active people. An average B.C. egg farm has 13.000 laying hens. There are some larger ones containing 55.000 hens and a few with less than 5,000 layers. Virtually all these egg production units are automated to a high degree. The birds are kept in cages, feed and water is supplied mechanically, eggs are gathered on conveyor belts at least once a day, and barns are cleaned mechanically. Birds tend to be most productive when they are in clean comfortable surroundings. Their environment is therefore highly controlled. It's nutritional intake, light cycle,, air flow and length "Don't Stand in Line for Technology" We move technology to the farm every day through Products... Concepts and Information.

This level of mechanization and environmental control requires a tremendous amount of investment. Historically, these investments were not made because of the boom and bust cycles in egg prices and production. It was'not until producers collectively, under government supervision, formed their marketing boards and exercised supply management that egg farmers were able to make these investments and achieve the current high level of productivity. The egg production industry brings more than $45 m .Hon to producers and related industries in B.C, Approximately 80 percent of this or $36 million, comes to producers and realted industries in the Fraser Valley. The majority of the eggs produced in B.C. are shipped to independent grading stations. Eggs are transported regularly throughout the week in temperature controlled, trucks from on farm coolers to the grading plant. They are Immediately washed, oiled to preserve freshness, candled, graded, packaged, and shipped to stores, restaurants and other users. The candling and grading process, monitored by Agriculture Canada inspectors, ensures that eggs with cracked shells or blood spots are discarded and that the minimum weights for different egg sizes are attained. The wholesale function of grading stations is highly competitive. As a result these plants are highly automated. Some can process up to 75,000 eggs per hour with extreme accuracy, Egg production and processing has changed dramatically over the past ten years. In the future the challenge to the industry'will be to stay in tune with the needs and wants of consumers and continue increasing quality and efficiency.

Overseas farm work open to rural youth VICTORIA - British Columbia farmers' sons and daughters have the opportunity to trade in a few months of work on the home place for a swing at milking cows in Denmark, mustering sheep Down Under or other agricultural jobs overseas. The International Agricultural Exchange Association, based in Copenhagen,' annually makes arrangements for hundreds of young people with rural backgrounds from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and several European nations to go and work on farms in each other's countries. Almost 250 Canadians travelled overseas through the IAEA program last year. Participants should be at least 19 and have agricultural experience. They live and work as members of the farm families who are hosting them. They pay their own way for the trip, and receive a trainee allowance while on the job. The length of the visit varies from four months, for one of the European options, to a 12-month around-the-world trip that includes' work periods in both Europe and Australia or New Zealand. Applicants choose the type of fanning in which they wish to work overseas. The program can involve agricultural production, home management, a combination of the two, or horticulture. European farms currently provide the most openings for young Canadians interested in the IAEA program. The European work terms begin in March or May, depending on their Con't. on page 5 Gobblers from tho largo north County Lino farm of Julian Patenaude, jp Turkey Brooders Ltd.

It should be noted that for every $100,000 borrowed, the bank wants $12,000 a year back in interest and principal for the next 15 years. This is another reason why 1 am against a new producer borrowing several hundred thousand dollars at first in order to buy sophisticated equipment. I would rather see him start more modestly and get to understand the art of raising pigs. Maybe at a later stage, if he is doing well, he can make improvements. Finally, as to the future of the industry in B.C. - who .can really say. In the last year' in B.C. about 102,000 hogs were marketed and In the year before that 73,000. . There are around 250 members in the B.C. Swine Producers Association, some of whom are not yet in full production and about half the members reside in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland. It is estimated that in the next year we will increase production to 130,000 or even 140,000. At present we only supply B.C. with about 16% of the pork' consumed. On the surface that looks promising, but don't forget that for the 2,000 hogs marketed in B.C. in the week ending June 9 (for example) Alberta produced 25,500 and Saskatchewan 11,335 and Manitoba 16,502. The total produced by the eastern provinces was 124,0001 Please be aware that it is not hard to ship hogs across the country and already since January and February we have seen our price slip from 83 cents'a pound to this weeks price of 67 cents a pound. That makes a lot of difference on a dresssed carcass of 175 pounds. In hard cash, it means that the same size and quality pig at the beginning of the year > made $141.78 and now makes $116.58. Do remember that, when you are thinking of borrowing those large sums of money. To round off • 1 wish all newcomers lots of luck. It is not an easy life but it can be rewarding and fulfilling.

"The current fat requirements •for turkey broilers have not been reviewed for a number of years. There is some question today in the Industry as to whether the current standards are too high when producer costs and consumer preferences are considered," says,Joe Morrison, an Agriculture Canada poultry specialist in Ottawa. Producers are faced with the problem of males not finishing with enough fat to meet grade A requirements. Females have no difficulty in meeting the required fat-level. Eighty per cent or niore of the hen turkeys grade out as grade A. It takes an average of 13 weeks for broiler turkeys to reach market weight. If the males are held for an added week to 10 days, they will reach the required fat content levels. But by that time they may also' be too heavy for market requirements. Broilers are marketed at 10 pounds or less in weight. "The aim of the research project is to determine if less finish will be acceptable to the consumer," Mr. Morrison says. "Less finish will mean less fat content." In co-operation with the department's food, advisory services and Agriculture Canada's food research institute, the division will test consumer acceptance of leaner broiler turkeys. The payability, juiciness, ten- A straight look at food prices There has been a lot of concern recently about the rising price of food. To put food prices in perspective you should look at how much spending money people have. 'Disposable income' is a term meaning the money you have to spend after compulsory deductions such as income tax and unemployment insurance contributions. Food and all other costs such as rent, clothing and transportation come out of disposable income. The average disposable income per person in Canada rose from $2424. in 1969 to $4734. in 1975, an increase of 95 percent. Food prices increased by under half that rate over the same period. In 1969 it cost about $31. per week at the foodstore to feed a family of four; by 1976, the ■ Give us a call at 702-4211 in Chilliwack, 859-2361 in Abbotsford or 530-0284 in Langley 46255 Chilliwack Central Rd., P.O.

The Canadian Turkey Marketing Agency and the Consumers' Association of Canada will be kept informed on the progress and results of the study. "If, at the end of the study, the results show consumers prefer leaner broiler turkeys, we wll consider changing the grade standards," Mr. Morrison says. same weekly shopping list would cost about $44, ah Increase of about 42 percent.. Another way of looking at the cost of food is to look at the number of hours worked to buy a week's supply of food. In 1949, it took 20 hours' work - half a week - to pay the weekly food bill. By 1969, 11 hours of work kept the family fed for a week, and in 1977 just 8 hours of work were required to buy the same amount of food. When people have more money to spend they often buy more expensive food. Eyen so, despite greater expenditures and higher food prices, the proportion of disposable income spent on food in stores is at an all-time low, just 14.35 percent in 1975, down from about 21 percent 25 years earlier. f R ritchie-smith ltd. :i;)777 unterpnse avenue, box 1)0(1, abbotaford, b.c.

Dave Young of Agriculture Canada's Livestock Division reports that 7 kg of grain (corn, oats, or barley, depending on the part of the country) fed to beef cattle result in 1 kg of weight gain. Give similar feed to broiler chickens and they will gain a kilogram for every 2 kg of feed consumed, according the the Poultry Division's Bob Eby. Put another way, the beef "conversion ratio" of feed to live weight gain is seven to one; for broiler chickens |t is two to one. You should also take Into account the protein content of feed, Mr. Eby points out. The mix fed to poultry varies from 13 to 22 per cent protein, depending on the stage of the birds' growth. Protein requirements for dairy cattle range from 8.5 to 16 per cent while beef cattle need between 6 and 13 per cent of crude protein. How do other farm animals, shape up as food conversion factories? Turkeys have a conversion ratio of two and a half or three to one, depending on the size of the bird. Swine show a four to one rdtio. Another leader in the barnyard is the dairy cow, who for every 3 kg of feed consumed yields 10 kg of milk. The feed conversion ratio Is a contributing factor In the final cost of food, not only in terms of dollars but in terms of the feed consumed by the animal.

Its members are elected from the ranks of the British Columbia turkey producers, with the present members consisting of Ron Heppell, Chairman, Jim Pennington and Alan'Wilson, Board members. The turkey board is a "Suppy management" board in that it controls the production of turkey on its registered growers' turkey farms, but has no control over the wholesale or retail sections , of the turkey industry. The Board does not set wholesale and retail prices nor does it purchase or sell any product. The Board only has power to set the grower price for turkey. Even this price is set in consul- taion with the turkey processors and is based on an audited Cost of Production formular. The board attempts on behalf of the producers and in co-oper- aion with the processors and wholesalers to anticipate turkey demands by both types and times. This the role of supply Management. The B.C. Turkey Marketing Board is a member of the Canadian Turkey Marketing Agency which was formed In 1972 to establish a national supply managment program for turkeys. The Board's office is located in Cloverdale, where it has been since the Board's inception. The Board employs a small staff consisting of a manager, Colyn Welsh, a secretary Sonja Wong and a part time home economist, Louise Zimmer. - Recipe sheets and cook books may be obtained by writing to the B.C. Turkey Board, Room 201, 5752, 176th Street, Surrey. Louise Zimmer is involved in school and store demonstrations, recipe development and general promotion of turkey meats. While at the PNE,-Star readers are invited to attend the turkey booth in the north end of the Forum to meet Louise to talk turkey and to taste the new lines of turkey processed meats. There are 53 turkeys growers in British Columbia, of whom 46 operate in the lower mainland from Richmond to Abbotsford. Nine of these growers turkey farm in the Aldergrove area; Lome Bustin, Jack Howard, Fred Krahn, John Petkau, Vic Redekop, Paul Radnai, Walter Redekop, Ned Spencer, and Hugh Wiebe. Plus the only commercial turkey breeder operation' in British Columbia is located in the Aldergrove area and is run by Julien Patenaude. British Columbia produces 27 million pounds of live turkeys each year of which some seven million pounds are grown near Aldergrove, that is more than a quarter of B.C.'s production. A substantial contribution to the B.C. turkey industry. Likewise the turkey industry is furnishing some 3 'A million dollars each year to the economy of Aldergrove. Aldergrove has played a large part in the development of the modern turkey Industry, not only in B.C. but in North America and the whole world. Jesse Throssell, the man who gave North America the broad breasted turkey, produced the ancestors of our present meaty turkeys on his 40 acre farm at Aldergrove in the 1920's.

Box 308, Abbotsford, B.C. V2S 4N9 PETER FUNK President interest of both turkey and Aldergrove history. Jesse Throssel The man who gave North America the Broad Breasted Bronze The son of an English farmer, Jesse Throssell and his brother, Fred, came to Canada in 1907, as young men, footloose and fancy free. They came as far west as Alberta, then Fred went to the U.S. and Jesse returned home. He-married and farmed, and at a shooting party (pheasants and partridge) he met Lord Rothschild, the world-renowned millionair financier, who made a deal with him to buy all the turkeys he produced that were over 20 lbs., at as hefty premium of sixpence a lb. (12 cents in those days). Rothschild gave these to his friends at Christmas. So Jesse concentrated on weight and in a few years was producing young birds scaling 40 lbs. and more. This went on for some 20 years, when Lord Rothschild died and the next In line did not want to buy turkeys. So Jesse and his wife Mabel decided to go to Canada with their family of 2 girls and 2 boys, all by then in the growing stage. So they came to Montreal and from there by train to Vancouver and he bought a 40 acre farm at Aldergrove. His breeding stock went by ship through the Panama and eventually arrived at Vancouver. Soon government officials, Gordon Landon, Prof. E.A. Lloyd and G.R. Wilson were three who visited his farm and saw these huge turkeys and the news got around and several farm journals wrote about them. Believe it or not, up to that time, 1927 and 1928 turkeys throughout Canada and the United States were judged on their feathers, not their meat qualities. Americans came up with trailers and bought Throssell stock, known as the John Bull strain. He had white birds too, called White Hollands, but he concentrated on his Bronze.; By 1939 so many Americans had his stock, crossed and recrossed with their own but they were far from the beautiful colouring of American Mammoth Bronze, so that at the World's Poultry Congress in Cleveland, Ohio in' August 1939 they gave them a new name, Broad Breasted Bronze, and acknowledged Jesse Throssell as the founder. Throssell was a master green thumb breeder. He had a sixth sense in selecting breeding stock. He never overfed, making his flocks range over clover and alfalfa land, with a feeding spot In one direction and water in another direction. He produced extremely, hardy, healthy stock by his methods. His breeding skills did not carry through to his financial acumen and he made little money for himself but a heap of it for other people. During the war years he hatched and sold fairly large quantities of poults but as age crept on he more or Con't. on page 7 Jl}' jl WIRE CAGE SPECIALTIES LTD.

Just two weeks before that I had the privilege of taking him to see a flock of 20,009 turkeys. It was the last photo I took of him, a grand old man, always smoking a cigar. An American breeder once remarked, "Jesse Throssell put 5 lbs. on every turkey in the United States." Professor Lloyd from UBC said, "Jesse advanced the turkey industry by 25 years." He was stocky and thick set, very like the image of the old John Bull with a Union Jack for a waistcoat. I met him first in 1931, at about his peak, and always felt a great admiration for him. He was one of Nature's Gentlemen. Fred W. Beeson, Editor, Canada Poultryman.

In 1975, a farm family earned about $13,100 while An urban family earned about $14,100 in net income. ■ These findings are part of a recently released report on farm family Incomes, prepared by Agriculture Canada's Policy,. Planning and Economic Branch, It provides detailed income information for 1975 and is the third In a series of reports. The first two reports provided information for the years 1971 and 1973. Income from farm self-employment increased sharply in 1975 because of increases in prices for farm products. Farm revenue provided more than half of the farm family's income in Ontario and the western provinces. In Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces, while farm self-employ ment is stiU the largest single contributor to family income, farm families relies nearly as much on wages and salaries. In all provinces, wages and salaries were the second largest source of farm family- income. On the average, this income was 25/per cent of that earned from farm revenues. Family heads contributed 75 per cent of the family's Income. Spouses earned nine per cent and sons and daughters contributed the remaining 16 per cent. More than half of the Income provided by spouses and children was from off-farm wages and salaries.

Rick Mcllwaln Photo High moisture grain for hogs What is high moisture grain? This is grain which has been harvested or reconstituted to 25-30% moisture, and has undergone a controlled natural fermentation in a special storage structure for al least 21 days. This fermentation improves the palatability of the grain and enhances the nutritive value. On removal from the oxygen limited storage the grain is rolled and mixed with protein, mineral and vitamin supplements, to provide a totally balanced ration. This complete ration is readily consumed by cattle or swine. The ration has a sweet smell due to the fermentation, and is almost dust free. This reduction In dust is an important consideration for both the farmer and his livestock. Reduced stress on the respiratory system in humans or livestock can only lead to improved efficiency. Other advantages found with the use of a high moisture system are improved feed intake, improved feed efficiency, fewer days to market weight, and fewer digestive problems. The big apparent disadvantage facing the farmer who is considering high moisture grain is the initial capital cost. If we examine this problem from the few that the equipment required is easily amortized over 15 or 20 years, then payment for the equipment computes to a very small figure indeed, usually between S7-S10 per tonne of feed. Users of the high moisture grain system claim savings of up to $40 per tonne of mixed feed . (raw material cost). From this figure of $40 must come the capital cost of the structure, the labour required to mix the feed, the energy to run the system, and a cost for grain inventory. Grain owners of the system claim that all these costs are covered at not more than $15 per tonne. This leaves a theoretical profit margin of approximately $25 per tonne of finished feed. If we use the rule of thumb measure of 3 finished hogs per tonne of feed, then the high moisture grain system can reduce the feed cost of a finished hog by approximately $8. This means that a 100 sow operation, selling 1,800 pigs per year can show and additional profit of 1,800 x 8 : $14,400 per year. Conversely it means that a hog farmer with a high moisture barley system can afford to take $8 per pig, or 5 cents per pound, less for his finished than his neighbour buying in a complete feed. At present there is only one high moisture grain system being used for hogs in the Fraser Valley with two others about to go into production. However, with vast increases in hog numbers, huge capital . investments, rising grain prices, and with every economist in the country forecasting a decline In hog prices, this system appears to have a very bright future indeed.

THE ALDEROROVE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JULY 25,1979 11 A look at a local swine operation ByD.A.P. This farm was built about three years ago to accomodate 100 sows and their progeny. I came here as manager and junior partner 14 months ago. It was decided to expand the herd to 150 sows. There is always a problem on farms, that one man can run say 60 to 80 sows (farrow to finish) on his own, but in order to expand and in order to get a badly needed day off another man is needed. Whether that man is a partner or an employee, he needs a house and a salary. Therefore a herd of 150 sows is needed and so you end up with a kind of treadmill situation. I strongly feel that in order to do the job well, paying particular attention to small details and keeping the farms and records in good order • 60 to 80 sows is as much as one man can cope with. Don't forget that it is a seven day week arid often a 10 hour day! Our expansion was brought about by selecting young females (gilts) from our own herd. This involves checking the records of all our sows to see which ones produced the best litters and our boars to see who's progeny grew the fastest and the leanest. Both strong economic factors. We are helped by the fact that the government has a scheme, known as "Record of performance" testing. . All our pigs, at birth are given an ear number, which they carry for life. This number is recorded along with the date of birth and the two parents' numbers. When the female pig reaches around 180-200 pounds, it is weighed and the backfat thickness measured with an ultra-sonic ray. Only those, with a rapid growth rate and low fat measurement are retained as breeding stock. Also unless a gilt has 12 good, well spaced teats, for milk production and strong legs, she would not be considered. The rejects, are sent to the Rid your yard of flying pests.

As the above qualities are highly heritable, this test gives us much useful information a- bout our individual sows and boars. We got rid of one old boar very quickly as we found that his daughters were too fatl At today's feed prices we cannot afford to be too sentimental. As our testing continued, I could see a number of good gilts, surplus to our expansion needs and began to sell these. This is a useful sideline as htey are worth almost double the price of a market hog. For the first time in several years, the pig market looked good and a second farm was built to house another 150 sows. This means a total production of about 6,500 pigs a year. One problem with a large number of sows is maintaining the same standards, and the average number of pigs produced per sow is likely to fall. The national average per sow per year is about 14 pigs. We average 20 and 22 is quite possible, however, with 300 sows it will take a. lot of keeping up. Much emphasis these days is placed on reduced labor, but it is the skill and devotion to duty of the stockman that saves baby pigs at birth and keeps the mother In good health and milking well. There are also many disease hazards to be faced between birth and sale and constant supervision of the pigs is essential along with a knowledge of diseases and treatment. No one has invented a machine yet which can replace a good stockman. Absolute hygiene is essential. We wash every sow as she comes in to farrow. A lice and mange dressing is applied and she is de-wormed. This prevents any infection being passed on to the newborn pigs. The "farrowing crate", indeed the whole room is thoroughly washed arid disinfected after its' last occupants are weaned, so that any possible build up of bacteria is prevented. The new' pigs are given an iron injection to prevent anemia and their "needle" teeth are cut off to prevent damaging the sows udder, thereby causing mastitis. At about 3'/_ weeks the litter is taken to a nursery and the sow returns to the breeding pens to start the whole cycle again. Our nursery floors are made from perforated metal, raised above ground to allow all droppings, to fall through- and be washed away. This keeps the pigs very clean and healthy. We try to maintain a temperature of about 65° F to 70d F in the various rooms, but still allowing tots of fresh air to come in. About 120,000 gallons of liquid manure is produced and spread every two months on two local dairy farms. Some is spread on this farm for the hay and corn. I think that we have the lightest corn in the area, it was sown in May and is now eight feet highl No pig farmr should ever have trouble getting rid of his manure as any dairy farmer knows Its value as a fertilizer. Of course, some neighbors are vnot too happy ai "spreading time" but with the new aeration' systems, most olf the odor is taken out. Nearly all new hog farms are being built with aerators and I think this will help a lot. Of course, this equipment costs a great deal and adds to our overheads. When you think that at best we only get 80 cents a pound for our pork Oast week it was 67 cents) and the average farm worker gets under $5.00 an hour. We still have a long way to go. I have been In fanning all my life and I guess we all do it because we like it. Also it is a good feeling to know that we are helping to reduce imports by producing food for the nation and at the same time boosting Canada's exports to the test of the world. Hogs love high- moisture grain. You will, too. Feed your hogs the soft, mildly fermented grain they get from a Harvestore8 system — and then try going back to dry grain. The result?. They'll stand at the feeder and squeal. The fact is, high-moisture grains are easier to chew and digest. Your hogs will never miss grain that's been dried and shrunk. Just the opposite is true. They'll eat more of the wet grain. And gain more efficiently. And you certainly won't miss your grinding and mixing chores, or the itchy dust that covers you from, head-to-toe. Hogs not only like It. They prefer It. •No more drying costs. •Less field loss. •Takes the work out of feedin •Takes the work out of feeding chores - finally. •We made good equipment 30 years ago.

TWO YEAR LAPSE Large shipment of beef cattle coming from Europe Renewed interest among Canadian cattle breeders has led to plans for a large shipment of continental European cattle to Canada this year after no imports for more than two years. Agriculture Canada's Health of Animals Branch, responsible for seeing that animal imports are disease-free, reports that Canadian farmers have applied to bring in 230 head this fall. "The applications merely indicate intent at this stage," according to R.R. Miller, director, import-export for the animal health directorate of the branch. "Some will undoubtedly drop out, but we could end up with a shipment of between 120 and 170 animals." Such a shipment could be worth $1 million or more. The import applications cover a vari ety of breeds from six countries - Italy, West Germany, France, Switzerland, Holland and Austria. The last shipment from the continent came in the fall of 1976 after a decade of substantial imports begun when Canada felt secure enough from a disease standpoint to permit continental cattle into the country. Canada opened the doors to continental cattle in 1965. Rising beef prices in Canada, after a .Tour year depression, have helped create the renewed demand as Canadian breeders seek to strengthen the quality of their herds and improve bloodlines. Applied-for breeds Include Charolais, Limousin, Simmental, Blonde d'Aquitaine and Abon- dance from France, Chianina and Marchigiana from Italy, A field on your plate When you sit down to a meal, you're looking at the harvest of the earth. Try to think of something you eat that has not been grown or has not eaten things that grow. Only about 7 per cent of Canada's total area of dne hundred million hectares (3.85 million square miles) is farmland; only about 4'per cent Is Improved land used for growing crops rather than as pasture or range land. Uneven Soil fertility and climate restrict the amount of land that is usable for agricultural purposes. The map opposite shows the relatively small area .of land on which Canada depends for food, squeezed into a series of narrow belts. There is very little farming in the Northwest Territories and the Yukon, where climate and drainage problems limit agricultural potential. The 1976 census recorded only 17 farms in the two territories. Fleckvieh and Pinzgauer from Austria and West Germany. Resource Planning and Analysis co-ordinator named Mike Oswell, head of the development and extension branch, has been named as the ministry's resouce planning arid analysis co-ordinator effective immediately, according to S.B. Peterson, deputy minister of agriculture. Peterson explained that agriculture and food production must be considered as an integral part of B.C.'s land and water resource use plans. In this role, Oswell will study the effect upon agriculture of other resource developments such as mining and forestry. He will also analyze the effect upon agriculture of industrial developments such as the construction of highways, airports, manufacturing plants, hydro-electric dams, etc. Evaluation techniques will include economic analysis, benefit-cost analysis, feasibility studies, and analysis of how the particular project would affect the social and rural atmosphere of the specific region. The deputy minister said Oswell will be working closely with private, resource agencies and other government ministries to ensure than the agricultural impact is considered and a consistent approach used by all agencies involved. Peterson said agriculture must be an active participant in evaluating all provincial resource developments where they affect the land and water resources needed for long-term agriculter in B.C.

(§) Buckerfield's 'thegrowing people' Wastes from animal products could become important resources for farms in the future. Or. Gordon MacEachern, president of the Agricultural Economics Council (AERC), says that although animal wastes were seen to have little or no Value, they are now being regarded as untapped sources. The type of waste that comes first to mind, manure, has been used since time immemorial as a soil fertilizer. Modern fertilizers based on petrochemicals are costly and do nothing to improve soil structure, whereas manure is often readily available on the farm and adds to the humus content of soil, helping it to retain water. A new use for manure is to turn it into feed—an unappetizing prospect, but nevertheless already a reality. Dr. MacEachern explains that some animal wastes have a high nutritional value and are a potential source of feedstock for cattle in the future. This would solve two problems. Right now, disposal of animal waste is expensive. Animals raised in feedlots produce large quantities of manure, but the lots are often too far from farms where it could be used as fertilizer—«_ it is discarded. Feed is also expensive. Convert the manure to feed and you have an efficient recycling system. Another type of animal waste is seen as a potential resource by experts at Agriculture Canada, and that is heat. Cattle survive in unheated barns through the harshest Canadian winter because they have their own built-in central heating system. Homesteaders had the right idea when they built their anlmai byres against their own cabins; heat from the animals helped keep everyone cosy. Applying this to modern day living, homes heated partly by excess animal heat begin to make sense. Agricultural technology has advanced to a point where a constant supply of good quality food at reasonable prices Is taxen for granted. But agriculture today relies on large inputs of fossil fuels and manufactured fertilizer, both of which are becoming more expensive and possibly scarce. Tomorrow's agriculture may take some lessons from the farmers of yesterday in conservation and recycling. Food processing units, for instance, could be built, next to feedlots and powered by methane gas derived from animal wastes. People and animals couid live together in an "agropolis", a.combinatlori of urban and rural living in which plants, animals and people co-exist. Transportation problems would be reduced in this one simple re-arrangement of life- Although we will have the technology to build such an agropolis by the year 2000, we won't necessarily be ready to change our lifestyles. That, said.one Agriculture Canada research specialist, is the real challenge. The Systems ApproadTof WAIBERN lets you...

All ages savor the nutritional goodness of luscious cherries, peaches, apricots, plums, pears and apples. Because they are so tasty more and more Canadians have taken to canning and freezing sum- ' mer's treasures. It is more economical than buying i prepared fruit at today's ' prices. Fortunately a unique aid is available for canning and freezing in the supermarket today. It's Fruit-Fresh, a mixture of ascorbic acid and a little natural sugar. It helps preserve the glorious color, refreshing aroma and exciting taste of our seasonal fruit. Since it is an antioxidant it prevents browning and the loss of flavor and color in canning and freezing. Also, it enhances fresh fruit all year 'round. Just a little sprinkling of ascorbic acid mixture on cut surfaces ■ helps retain color and flavor and eliminates discoloration and darkening. It's not expensive'— a 5- ounce can is enough for 75 pounds of fruit — that means about 27 quarts of canned fruit. For canning the bounties of nature you'll need thoroughly dean jars and lids, sugar, a cooker for processing, fresh fruit and Fruit-Fresh. Make sure you select fresh fruit free of blemishes then wash and prepare. Peaches should be peeled and pitted then halved or sliced; apricots halved and pitted; cherries, pitted; berries, stemmed and apples and pears, peeled, cored and halved, quartered or sliced. If the peeled fruit is cut into an ascorbic acid solution (3 tablespoons Fruit-Fresh in 8 cups water) it will never discolor as it's being prepared. To prepare for processing; drain fruit; pack into jars leaving 1/2 inch at top, then cover with hot syrup. Add 1 teaspoon Fruit-Fresh to each cup of syrup. Each quart of fruit will need 1 to 1-1/2 cups .of syrup. Run knife around Why process foods?. The Canadian Institute of Food Science and Technology gives two answers to that question: 1) To prevent serious quality deterioration. 2) To improve the usefulness, palatability and convenience of foods. Most food processes are intended to control the growth of micro-organisms or slow down chemical reactions that cause food spoilage. Some processes reduce the concentration of some nutrients, notably vitamins, but in those cases where nutrients important to health are removed, the Food and Drug regulations provide that these be restored. Preservation Is essential for most agricultural products when there is a time lag between harvest and consumption. From the moment an animal is slaughtered or a head of lettuce is taken from the field, tissues begin to deteriorate and nutrient value fades. Processing slows or prevents deterioration In a number of ways. Among them: 1. Moisture removal e.g. drying, dehydration or concentration. Raw farm produce with high biologically active water content (e.g. leafy vegetables) deteriorates in a few days, whereas dry seeds may be sored for years. 2. Heat treatment, e.g. pasteurization dest roys harmful bacteria and inactivates enzymes. 3. Low-temperature treatment, e.g. refrigeration and freezing stows bacterial growth. 4. Acidity control, e.g. pickling. 5. Other methods include salting and smoking of fresh food to assist preservation and add flavour. P.N.E. inside of jar to remove air bubbles and add extra syrup, if necessary, to cover fruit. Wipe top of jar free of fruit fragments or syrup then adjust lids according ' to directions for type used. Wipe off jars, place in boiling water bath or pressure cooker and process according to directions for specific cooker. Remove containers then cool, label and store in a dry, cool place. Canned Pears Pears do not freeze well. Good results are obtained by canning them. Pears precooked before canning are usually superior to those canned by raw pack, Use pears, ripened after picking, while they are still firm. Wash and peel then cut pears in lengthwise halves or quarters and core. Work quickly. (A small measuring spoon does a good coring job.) Drop pear halves or sections into an ascorbic acid solution (3 tablespoons Fruit- Fresh to 8 cups water). Drain fruit. HOT PACK: Boil pears 3 to 5 minutes in light syrup.

VOX 1A0 Phoni: 856-1 as 1 GARDENING IN THE VAUEY Don Anson THE ALDEROROVE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JULY 25,1979 15 News from Fraser Valley beekeepers Let's discuss vegetables this week and let's leave out talk about pests and diseases. Ins. tead I shall endeavor to answer some of the numerous questions that are continually being thrown at me. My answers may not always agree with your own ' theories but don't, be upset by this because gardening in all its phases is largely hypothetical. This means that you cannot really lay down the law about anything in gardening because so many different factors are involved. Why do my lettuces taste bitter? This is a question frequently asked. There' could be several reasons for this. Lettuce must always be grown fast so that there is no dormant growth period. Often the young plants are not transplanted quickly enough and are left in a tight bunch too long. This setback, coupled with a lack of a continuous moisture supply, retards this fast growing vegetable and turns the leaves bitter. You will also frequently get bitter lettuce if the plants are left in the ground after maturity. All vegetables taste their best when pulled at the earliest oppor: tunity. After carefully sowing beetroot seed that is spaced out, why is it that two or three seedlings appear at the same spot? All beet seed should be rubbed in the hands before sowing. What looks like one seed is frequently two or three. If these are not separated early; the resultant beets will be of poor size and often twisted. Why are radishes not all the same size when grown at the same time? Radishes like a loose, fertile soil but are often not sown deeply enough. They should be sown half an Inch deep and then thinned to one inch apart when seedlings appear. As they are the fastest growing vegetable crop they must have continual moisture. If allowed to dry out the crop will be poor and uneven. If left in. the ground too long they will be woody In the middle and mighty ' hot to taste. If the tops look Uke turnip tops and the roots are thin then your soil is not nearly rich enough. This richness will not be accomplished with un- rotted manure. Why are my carrots so uneven? There are spots where no seeds appear to have germinated. This is usually caused by the fact you did not use fresh seed. Carrot seeds left over from last year should be thrown away as their germinating powers are short-lived. Always sow carrot seed more thickly than with other crops and do your thinning twice. Never leave thinnings on the ground because this will encourage the carrot fly. If your crop contains many odd shaped carrots this is because your soil contains too many stones or too much raw manure. What about beans that didn't germinate? They were probably planted out too early in the season, Beans, other than broad beans, need warm soil to germinate and we don't usually get this before mid-May.. Soil must be well drained because seeds will rot if the woil is wet or too cold. Although beans need moisture at all times, they seem to respond best when riven a thorough deep soaking when the flowers first farm and again as pods start to form. Overhead watering sometimes leads to mildew problems so slow-soak watering is preferable. Do your picking thoroughly and don't leave and pods to over-mature. What Is the value of liquid fish manure that is so frequently advertised? Pish manure is of tremendous value to anything that has a large amount of green leaves. As it is 5-1-1 in nutritional value, the nitrogen content is high. Use it frequently for all your cabbage crops, lettuce, chard, spinach and, to a lesser amount, on beans, but don't overdo the use on your root crops. Your tomatoes can use it in their early stages but later need a fertilizer high in phosphorus and potash. . When should I water my vegetable garden is an ever popular question. If your soil contains plenty of humus and your crops have been adequately mulched, the answer is seldom. But certain crops, such as cucumbers, squash, radishes and your shallow rooted vegetables need watering during dry spells. Clay soils retain moisture more than sandy soils. You wilt get more tomatoes by frequent watering but the fruit will not be so sweet. Strawberry roots go down very deeply and so do many of the toot crops.- Frequent light waterings do more harm than good because they will bring roots to the surface. Should I manure the vegetable garden every year? Of course you should because you are taking so much away from.the soil each year. Crops will be successively poorer each year that you do not renew the nutrients in the soil. Hie author wfll endeavor to answer any questions on the subject of outdoor gardening.

An letter, will be anawered personally, bot some may be answered In thia By ALAN MILLER There is already general agreement among the beekeeping fraternity that 1979 will prove to have been a very good year for the honey crops. This is. welcome news after a poor year previously and with many colonies lost, during last winter. Some beekeepers will alerady have started to remove the honey from their colonies. Others will wait until the present main nectar flow is over in a few more weeks' time. Afterwards their honey products will be available to all in the food stores or at the local produce stands. Why not drop in on a local producer whenever you see his friendly sign advertising honey for sale. ( I want to bring you news this month of one of those special occasions that occur from time1 to time. Fraser Valley beekeepers honoured this week a good friend who has finally decided to retire from his beekeeping supplies business in the Lower Mainland. Mr. Ed. Kadonaga of Modern Bee Supplies, his wife Tosh and daughter Louvine were the guests of honour at a' dinner held in the Clover Inn in Surrey to pay tribute to Ed. Almost forty local men and women, beekeepers spent an enjoyable evening together with their guests. Mr. Henry Batten representing the Ministry of Agriculture spoke affectionately of Ed.and his life here in British Columbia from his childhood oti' Mayne Island to his marriage and the raising of his four daughters. His early exploits as a tug boat skipper and the converting of an old rum runner craft to ply the BX. coast from Vancouver to Prince Rupert were spoken of. During the war years,' and being of Japanese extraction, he was relocated to work in the sugarbeet fields in Alberta after which he made his living logging on the coast once again and working at a saw mill here. Eventually be became Interested . in beekeeping, and in 1964 .started his business of supplying equipment and manufacturing the woodwork and wax foundation on his premises. Others joined Henry Batten in praising Ed both as a businessman and as a friend. Letters of appreciation were received from Mr. John Corner B.C.'s chief apiarist, and the Lower Mainland apiary specialist Mr. Doug McCutcheon, both from the Min- stry of Agriculture here in British Columbia.
