Marilyn Anderson Phfl Aldergrove committee the1 same Chairmen re-shuffled LANGLEY - Veteran alderman Art Brooks wound up with a heavy load of committee chairmanships when these were distributed by Mayor George Driediger Monday afternoon. Brooks, who for the past year has served only as chairman of the rather 'light* health and welfare committee, got his former finance committee back. In addition he received the administration and employees relationship portfolios, and retained health and welfare. Aid. Bill Blair, the longest serving councilor, remained as chairman of public works. Aid. Jim Lee was moved from protection to parks and recreation, and Aid. Jock Lindsay lost planning to Aid. Elford Nundal and utilities and enterprises to newcomer Aid. Stan Fraser. Lindsay was switched to the not very heavy protection committee. Budget laid out today Grittner gets reprieve Reappointed by council to the Aldergrove utilities committee were local businessmen Ernie Bird, Joe Breicr. Jim Ferguson, Walt Makela and Cliff Watt. Gordon Barnes was reappointed Aldergrove community's representative to Langley's advisory planning commission. RUNNING FIGHT MURRAYVILLE — Councilors here are meeting today to hammer out the 1977 provisional budget for the township. Budget must be adopted by council resolution before the third Monday in January. Council also approved Monday of a 'revenue anticipation borrowing bylaw', authorizing the borrowing of $4.5-million pending receipt of taxes in mid-summer. MATSQUI — Council has decided to hold in abeyance their recent orders to close Country Freezer Meats, a meat cutting business on Ross Road in Aldergrove. The order to close the business had been issued by council when it was discovered that Kurt Grittner had been operating his enterprise on agricultural land without a land use contract. Council decided to instruct its staff to tabulate the number of businesses operating under similar circumstances in the district, and to report the figures back to council. The report will be used to help council decide what to do with the businesses. Meanwhile, the aldermen decided not to close Country Freezer Meats, but to hold the order for closure, to give Grittner time to relocate his business. MURRAYVILLE - "Somehow we made some news for the newspapers in 1976, Dan," Mayor George Driediger told former alderman Dan Kitsul who was seated in the audience during the first meeting of the 1977 council here Monday afternoon. Driediger said he and Kitsul had had a "running fight" during the first year the mayor spent in office, but he thanked Kitsul for his contributions to council in the past and wished him well for the future. Kitsul, who has moved to West Kelowna, decided not to seek re-election to Langley district council in the Novembe 1976 elections. Subdivisions to be considered MURRAYVILLE - "We can't keep taxing people to death who sit on five, lOor 20 acres," Mayor George Driediger said during his -first official speech of the year Monday afternoon. Driediger said during his first official speech of the year Monday afternoon. Driediger said he would ask councilors in 1977 to approve of new policies concerning subdivision applications for medium-size acreages "that are no good for farming". "I just can't see how we can continue to preserve blocks of land that are no good for farming," he said. Driediger said he would prefer the establishment of a sub-committee of council whose job it would be to visit such land holdings in person and then decide whether or not subdivisions should be allowed to proceed. "But I am not talking about (subdivision into) city lots," the mayor quickly added. Only breakdowns into smaller acreages. Such a policy change would be "healthy for the future", Driedi ger said. The district mayor also stressed in his address that there would be "no more piecemeal development" allowed in Langley. "No more development without sewers and water (facilities being available). "We will have good orderly development in the municipality." he said. Jac-kfttan road Be sure of your facts, judge advises councilors wil1 *•redone MURRAYVILLE — Responding to recent criticism by Langley district aldermen of the judicial system, Judge Hugh Anderson told council here Monday afternoon that although he did not want to create a big controversy, he appreciated the opportunity to take a moment of council's time for a rebuttal. Anderson said it was not often that judges had a chance to speak up in public, and he eagerly accepted the opportunity to set matters straight. The provincial court judge was referring to statements made by council members and reported in a Langley paper last week. He advised councilors to make sure that whenever public state- nvents such as these were made to mal(c sure that they were "based on facts". An official, elected or appointed, should always make sure that comments could be verified, he advised, if democracy was to survive. The newspaper article had quoted local officials as saying that many judges in the lower mainland "hold court only a few hours a day" interrupted by frequent adjournments, the judge said. "I am not aware of judges (in. the Fraser Valley) that do not put in a full day's work," Anderson said, adding that "of course, it depends on what some people consider a full day's work." He compared the work of the bench to that of a lawmaker. "Your (council's) job is not only meetings either." Anderson said that there are 24 provincial court and five county court judges in the Fraser Valley and that he knew all his colleagues well enough to guarantee Langley's doing fine, thank you MURRAYVILLE - While the state of the Canadian economy is in a position where it is "not very healthy", Langley district is riding snugly into 1977, according to the district's mayor. "The finances of Langley are in a very healthy position," George Driediger said Monday afternoon in his new year message. And he paid tribute to former councils "who had enough sense to put a few bucks aside for when things get tough." Therefore, said Driediger, local taxpayers would see "only a very small increase" in the 1977 mill rate. "Perhaps we are lucky enough to have no increase at all." But then again, "maybe one or two mills" depending on what the treasury came up with. One or two mills would mean a, tax increase of between $10 and $15 on the average home. Driediger said. "And I sure we can all live with that." What with inflation having increased in nearly every Canadian endeavor. Driediger said he had had a talk with Bill Bennett when the premier visited Langley in November, and been advised of the provincial government's request to municipal councils "to hold the line." ALDERGROVE — The parks in Langley district are not being utilized to their fullest capacity, township mayor George Driediger told councilors in Murrsyvill Monday afternoon. And he promised a change in this state of affairs in 1977. Commenting on a letter received by council from the Aldergrove Lions club, Driediger said that it was "too bad that we have not long ago gotten off our backsides to accept on offer such as given here." The local Lions have several times approached council, begging permission to build change rooms at the Aldergrove ball park. The Lions have the necessary funds, and the project would not cost the public one red cent. So far no permission has been forthcoming. Perhaps Driediger's remark bodes well for 1977. MURPHY GOES OUT FIGHTING Business licences considered Fay Nicholson of Alder- -grove had the distinction of giving birth to the first baby in Langley Memorial Hospital in the new year. The third child of Fay and her husband David was awaiting a name at press time. The baby, a girl wleghed seven and a half pounds and was born at 3 a.m. on the 2nd of January. MATSQUI — Retiring alderman Spud Murphy attended his last cour:il meeting Monday, and went out fighting. Murphy had a controversial motion passed instructing the district's legal department to write a business license bylaw for presentation to the 1977 council. At present this district does not have a business license bylaw. "I can't presume what trie three new members of council will think about it," said Murphy, adding that he feels the idea has the support of experienced aldermen. He speculated that municipal staff would probably study similar bylaws in other districts to determine how the license schedule should be drawn up. The strongest opposition to the idea came from Aid. Chuck Wiebe. He said it is a desperate attempt to strengthen the council's controls over businesses established on agricultural land, adding that he does not fee it will work. "Rather than getting into another form of taxation maybe we should be saying, 'Hey, we need an enforcement officer'," stated Wiebe. He said a business license schedule is not a means of correcting non-conforming businesses as much as it is a revenue source • and a very poor revenue source at that. He feels a good zoning bylaw backed up by stringent enforcement techniques would serve the same purpose as a business license bylaw where business controls are concerned. "I see it as a source of revenue," he remarked, explaining that a license schedule for businesses is like a dog license by-law, in that it would probably cost more to collect and enforce the licenses than the municipality would receive in license fees. Wiebe cited $100,000 as the maximum annual revenue to be received from the schedule if adopted, but cautioned that council will probably spend close to 580.000 just adminstrating the schedule. Enforcement would be another cost item above and beyond the eighty thousand. that none of them were being lazy, inefficient or unjust on the bench. "Adjournments," he said, "are often necessary so that a fair trial can proceed." Concerns that court room facilities were not being utilized efficiently were also discounted by Judge Anderson. Langley's one court room here is used steady four days a week, he said, those of Surrey are used to capacity, and only in Matsqui is the one court room facility "not being used to its full capacity." He said that generally twice the amount of trials that could be fitted into one day listed on the court rosters. "Your job is to make laws that are fair to everybody," he said. "Ours is to interpret and uphold these laws." Respect for the law and for the courts was "an extremely important thing," Anderson said. Mayor George Driediger thanked the judge for his comments, adding that unfortunately he had been away himself during the meeting when the controvertible statements were made and therefore knew nothing of the comments. Aid. Jim Lee said he would like to have a meeting with Anderson and discuss the matter further, and this suggestion was welcomed by the judge. Lee said that the number of bylaw infractions in Langley processed through the court was "very minimal". "I'd be very happy to meet with you," Judge Anderson told council's former protection committee chairman. ALDERGROVE — A promise which has been made before by Langley district mayor George Driediger was repeated in the chief magistrate's New Year speech. , Jackman Road, or as it is also called 272 Street, will be reconstructed between downtown Aldergrove and the navy base in 1977. Driediger said the township has "more than sufficient money in reserve" to complete the rebuilding of the approximate one mile stretch of municipal road. As it is now. the mayor said. "I think Jackman Road is the most terrible road in Langley; absolutely a disgrace." Driediger also warned councilors that the 1977 council would be making changes for 'more effectiveness' which also would involve much more work on the part of individual councilors in the new year. He said some, councilors already had complained of a heavy schedule in 1976, but that it would mean even more output in 1977. "After all. that is what wc were elected for. to serve the public." he said. "There will be more meetings in 1977. And you will all have to spend more time (on council business) in *77 than vou did in •76." The bigger work load had become necessary with the rapid growth of the community in recent years, Driediger said. "We are no longer the small sleepy community wc were up until a few years ago."

Langley district council recently sent a letter to provincial secretary Grace McCarthy voicing the community's fears, and this week they received a letter back from Victoria. McCarthy in the letter says she feels that the establishment of a "good quality" zoological garden in the lower mainland has merit as a source of "educational and scientific value beyond that which a private game farm can provide." But, she says, the provincial government does not intend to become financially involved in this type of operation. The Tynehcad Zoological Society of B.C. must, however, as the main proponents of the Surrey development, "clearly establish" both the need for, and the public acceptance of, their proposal, McCarthy says. The minister also says it was the original understanding at the time of purchase of the park land, WEATHER REPORT By NORM GREEN 1976 Temperatures Preclp.

And the provincial parks branch has further expressed disappointment that "this irreplacable area in the centre of a rapidly urbanizing region should be allocated to a specialized use and limited by an entrance fee." However, since the park belongs to the greater Vancouver parks board, the decision of its further use is really up to this board, McCarthy says. After the letter had been read in council, Aid. Jim Lee expressed his opinion that since a zoological facility already exists in the lower mainland in the Vancouver Game Farm, "rather than let someone else come in in competition", government should point out to the game farm owners what "standards" would be necessary to transform the existing facility into a "good quality zoological garden with educational and scientific vaule". and perhaps also aid the owners in other way. "Don't put him under," Lee said, referring to the owner of the Aldergrove game farm. Aid. Bill Blair, however, said Storekeeper finds bus stop annoying ALDERGROVE — The owner of the Aldergrove Market on Fraser Highway here, Fred Boyd, has expressed concern over the "plunking" of a bus stop in front of his newly opened store! Boyd opened his store late last year on the north side of the street. He had considered buying store frontage on the south side, but gave the idea up for a number of reasons including the fact that the southside property had a bus stop in front of it. When he moved into his present location the bus stop did not reach to the front of his establishment. "They extended it double the length to what it was," Boyd said. Contacting Pacific Stage Lines, Boyd was informed that the bus stop had been extended because the company felt it needed more room for its vehicles. The bus line employee who spoke to him said there were cars parked in the bus stop all the time. "If that's the logic they should go all the way to 272," he said, adding that the problem appears to be one of enforcement instead of space. Boyd said he once saw two busses parked in the bus stop at one time and still there was about twenty feet of "no parking" curb space in front of his store.

Blair said he was against public subsidy of either operation. Interviewed later by The Star, Brooks and Blair both agreed that if the Tynehead proposal was allowed to proceed it would in fact amount to public subsidy. For one thing the zoological society would acquire the land cost free and taxation free, and that in itself would mean unfair competition to a private operator. All council members were against this aspect of the proposal, they said. The zoological society is a non-profit organization which would build a S19-mil1ion zoo on about a third of the acreage in the park, said Blair. The money would be raised through foundations, private donations, and grants from all levels of government. Blair said he did not expect that the operation of the zoological garden would become self- sustaining, and besides the entrance fees and initial subsidy would have to be further underwritten by public money. Tynehead Park consists of 625 acres owned by the Geater Vancouver regional parks district and 14 adjoining acres owned by Surry municipality. It is located near 96 Avenue and 164 Street in the Port Kells area. New year's accident sends two to hospital LANGLEY — Volunteer firemen were called in to pry open the door of a crashed vehicle and rescue two 16-year-old boys Friday night. The driver of the car, Michael McCulIough, 16, of 4514 - 248 Street, was taken to the Royal Columbian hospital in New Westminster where he later was reported in critical condition suffering from multiple fractures. The other occupant of the car, Randy Jameson of 2939 • 208 Street, was reported in good condition in Langley Memorial hospital. McCulIough lost control of the car which turned over into a ditch while driving west on 56 Avenue near 216 Street. Car was totalled. The accident occurred at 10:30 New Years eve, Langley RCMP report.

Cracknell, 71, relayed a startling personal medical history that began in the summer of 1970. It was at that time that he first entered Langley Memorial hospital to undergo a six and one quarter hour operation to remove cancerous growths in his stomach. "They didn't think I'd live through it," he said, "they gave me up three or four times." Cracknell feels he survived that operation due to the most trusted general home cure known to man: plain down home love. He can remember seeing colors of the like that are never seen on earth, and is quite sure he was passing into another world when he heard his wife's voice saying, "Come back to me, come on Tom, come back to me." He said the doctors who performed the operation later remarked how quickly his system had bounced back after surgery. That was just the start, however. Cracknell's extraordinary experiences with medical science went on to become even more amazing. "I worried about that Cancer business everytime 1 got an ache." he relayed. Then in October of 1975 he had an accident with his lawnmowcr and was rushed to Lions Gate hospital in Vancouver for more surgery. Once again the doctors did their job. this time loosening spinal chords to stop paralysis in his legs, and once again Cracknell bounced right back after the operation. Within two weeks he was busy hauling cement and rocks back and forth to build a new fireplace in his living room. He stated that his fast recoveries probably have something to do with the fact that he will only take drugs while in hospital, and will not take prescribed medicines once he has been released. Cracknell does believe in home remedies though. When his right arm was attacked by arthritis and (he doctors informed him there was no cure, he went straight home and applied his own. "You can cure almost anything just out of your garden." he stated. Waving his right arm in a wide arc to display the absence of arthritic pain he explained, "I put that down to just straight malt extract with cod liver oil, and garlic pills." When a heart attack threatened Cracknell's life once again, he was rushed to Langley hospital where he underwent various EL' !?* - ;ss.,-: I Tom Cracknell, 71, a believer In old lime remedies for what place he built while recovering ails you, stands by the fire- from major surgery. examinations and was fitted with tubes and wires on his person. "I'm not staying in this hospital," he told the nurses, and promptly signed himself out. He was conveyed by wheelchair out of the hospital and his neighbor had to help him into his.house. "They never expected to see me again." he said. It was then that Cracknell decided to give up tea, milk and coffee. He felt that something in the pasteurization process was causing a build up of cholesterol in his system. He decided to drink nothing but 7-up or water, a practise he stands by to this day. His doctors told him after three subsequent examinations that he had the heart of a 30-year-old man and asked him what he was doing. "If I told you you'd laugh at me," he said. Just before Christmas, on the 4th day of December 1976, Cracknell found himself in Lang- Icy Memorial once again. This time he was rushed to hospital in the early hours of the morning with nagging stomach pains. He was afraid the cancer was rising again. By 3:00 p.m. the next day he was once again under the surgeon's knife, but when he awoke he did not find glum faces. "Both the doctors were happy, I'd never seen them that happy," he said. It turned out that Cracknell's recent operation revealed that there.was no more cancer anywhere in his body. He calls it the best Christmas present he has ever received, and it is the only cure he does not partly attribute to some sort of home remedy. "Kdon't think our doctors get enough recognition, we should find some way of showing our appreciation for them," he stated. He said there is nothing to stop a doctor or nurse booking off sick for the Christmas holidays, but asks what would happen to sick people if they did. FRIED PAPER Andy Russell, a potato breeder at Agriculture Canada's Morden, Man., research station, has a shortcut to determine the potential of new varieties for potato chips. He soaks filter paper discs in potato juice and then frys them to see if they have the right cooking quality. Expenses are reduced by frying the filter discs instead of actual potatoes. The method is also faster, just as accurate and notes can be made on the discs to identity the varieties for which the tests arc being done. Each person 'must do his own thing' Man must learn to find his own way because traditional, "infallible" authorities aren't working any more, says Dr. Hans Selye. president of the International Institute of Stress in Montreal. He said in an interview Wednesday that absolute faith, whether in God or in money, are breaking down. "That is the real tragedy of the world —- we have lost our'aims and goals.. "No wind blows for the ship that has no port or destination," he said. But Dr. Selye. 70. said the return to traditional goals and religions is not the answer. People must learn to "do their own thing." with each person HOSPITAL EXPANSIONS APPROVED Aldergrove —. Financing for two expansions to local hospitals were approved by the Central Fraser Valley regional district over the Christmas holidays. The S2.8-million required for expansion of the hospitals will be financed through a loan from a financial institution or senior government. The two projects are a $2.4- million extended care wing at Langley Memorial Hospital to replace the Old Cedar Hills wing, and a $400,000 expansion to the emergency facilities at MSA General Hospital. The building project at Langley Memorial will result in the addition of twenty-five beds to the present fifty bed facitlity. It will also enable the public health department to take over the old building for use as office space. discovering his or her own needs and goals. The idea that nature is immortal and can't make any mistakes "is a very deep religiousity," he' said. Following the laws of nature is what Dr. Selye prescribes for everyone. He said priests or rabbis would not consider him religious but in a sense he is, because he sees natural law as divine. Dr. Selye says because of "altruistic egotism" society would not dissolve if each member followed his or her best interest. Everyone needs to feel useful and to contribute to the whole so the kind of hoarding that would go on in a world of Dr. Selye's creation would not involve the storage of money, but creation of immense reserves of goodwill.$ "My currency is not dollars," he said. Dr. Selye compared his work to that of a man who makes stones for an artist who creates mosaics. He said he does not tell the artist how to create the mcaic; he just tries to provide him with perfect stone, whose value and color will not change. That is why, he said, he cannot say exactly what each person should do to seek a fulfilled life. Dt. Selye. despite his disavowal of organized religion, said he has great respect for the credo "love they neighbor as thyself." He said, however that for modern times the credo should be translated, "Earn thy neighbor's love." Dr. Selye, world-renowned for his medical research on the effects of stress, was in Vancouver to receive a distinguished achievement award from the Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity. We use Kodak paper.

Although Tom Cracknell will probably continue soaking minor cuts and bruises in motor oil, drinking 7-up instead of store bought milk; refusing to take Aspirin for minor pain, he will at least concede that the magic of medical science and the diligence of doctors, nurses and ambulance drivers was totally responsible for his complete recovery from stomach cancer — a recovery that has made him one of the happiest people in Langley district in this new year. Dinner of civic centre LANGLEY — A 'recognition dinner' for members appointed to advisory committees will be held in the civic centre here on Wednesday, January 26, municipal clerk Derek Doubleday said Monday afternoon. The dinner will start at 7 p.m. with cocktails at 6:30 p.m. Recognition dinner is an annual event honoring unpaid members of numerous civic committees. ALDERGROVE — The directors of a corporation-type or communal-type farm, which was approved last year by district council as an experimental operation in North Aldergrove, have once again appealed to township fathers for permission to connect their 30 projected homes to the sewage disposal line running from here to the Fraser River. Sinar Utama Enterprises Ltd.. a 'spiritual brotherhood', was represented in council Monday afternoon by director Evan Brett. Brett presented a report to council and again asked that the farm be allowed to discharge treated effluent directly into the Aldergrove sewage outfall line. The water talbe being just below the surface in the North Jackman area prevented the installation of any other type of sewage treatment system for the 30 homes, he said, and the fisheries department had doubts that they would be allowed to discharge even tertiary treated waste in the Nathan Creek, a salmon spawning stream. In any event, said Brett, if that was the only way left for Sinar Utama to go, they could look forward to two years of negotiations with senior governments before development could be even contemplated. "What would you have done if the sewer line had not gone in?" asked Aid, Bill Blair. Brett answered that then Sinar Utama would have been "up the tube long ago." The class 4 land w-as purchased by the corporation three years ago. The renewed request was referred to council's planning committee for discussion next Monday morning. One dead in New Year's mishap LANGLEY — RCMP officers are continuing their investigation into the death of one girl and the serious injury of two others in a traffic accident on new year's eve.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1977 Comment The Aldergrove Star Pension payment rise inadequate We wish from the deepest chasms of our bleeding hearts, that all Canadians could experience the dubious privilege of receiving a federal government news release on pension payment increases. These little gems of mind-bending Ottawa salesmanship arrive with a frequency that would astound the average pensioner. They come in through the mails like paper doves with olive branches clutched in their trembling little beaks. They bring glad tidings for editors to pass onto the populace; neat little rows of nicely padded figures designed to make us all believe that the increases are real and meaningful. WHAT BRAIN BLISTERING BALDERDASH! Health and Welfare Canada (an English phrase that was married to a French civil servant and lost its preposition on the conjugal typewriter) recently sent us a glowing example of the kind of hype governments dish out when desperate for votes. It stated that pension payments will increase this month and went on to quote the padded figures. Covering two pages of rather expensive letter writing paper it was filled with 'before' and 'after' figures, something like those TV Guide ads for mail order weight loss programs. For two pages it rambled on about single rates, double rates, supplementary rates and spouse's allowance rates. It quoted hordes of figures ranging between $86.81 and $458.74, trying desperately to illustrate how much better off the pensioner is as a result of welfare minister Marc Lalonde's kindness. Not once in the entire spiel, however, did it relay the true purpose of the epistle, which was to announce a massive $1.95 per month increase to old age security pensions. The reasoning Is obvious. In the mind of a government press release writer it is more impressive to quote total figures with the increase combined than it Is to quote the increase by its naked little self. Just once, it would be so nice to get a press release saying something to the effect that the latest pension increase Is not very high, but perhaps will be better next time. It wouldn't solve anything for the senior citizens but it would be an honest admission by the government of its lack of concern for the pensioner. Just once it would be so nice to be able to say that someone in the nation's capital is aware that pensions are too small to live on. Just once it would be so nice to get a pension increase press release that really does come in like a dove holding an olive branch, instead of a Greek bearing gifts. 1 S?&t M/iMA ufc comb tur mot FURTHER ON MU R/eL OIL %\IL HuffUtN U/E't) hl££b AhirtFH££2£ FEK "WE UiaftK Bfc"2>._.

Satiation smoking is only a part of a complete smoking withdrawal program developed by Dr. Best which also includes a structured educational session, a variation of over-smoking called rapid smoking and various sessions which teach such things as urge-management and relaxation. The focus of the program is to train the smoker to develop the skills and coping strategies required to effectively manage himself as a non- smoker. The first step of the program is to meet with Dr. Best or an associate and have explained to you why you smoke. The person gets s good idea ot what to expect and what is expected of him once procedural and treatment principles are explained. The smoker then becomes aware of a pattern in his smoking after he keeps a record of the frequency of his use of cigarettes. With each cigarette he records where he is, what he is doing, what the time is and why he thinks he is smoking that particular cigarette. In the next session discussion on topics such ss smoking patterns, substitution, exercise, relaxation and the problems faced by non-smokers are touched on. Now that the smoker has recorded the frequency of his use of cigarettes he hss an excellent idea of how many cigarettes he smokes doily. Now the smoker doubles that number, or triples it, whatever it takes to reach the point where the smoker cannot tolerate to smoke any more cigarettes in a single day. This procedure continues for three days and on the fourth day the person doesn't smoke and again visits with the program directors. This is his first day as a non-smoker. The unpleasantries the smoker had subjected himself to is known aa aversive conditioning. He has unhappy memories of the past few days during which time he probably experienced nausea, headaches, sore throat, dizziness hand tremors and a variety of undesirable reactions. The dgareete is no longer an agent of relaxation but is now anti-smoking medicine! Dr. Best uses the memory of the smokers reactions to firmly entrench a set of negative associations toward cigarettes. To ensure a continuing negative reaction the smoker will be required to satiation smoke at home for a predetermined number of days after the rapid smoking session. Dr. Best notes that an attitude change is necessary if the new non-smoker is to maintain his abstinence over months and yeara. Many quitters are able to achieve 80 to 100 per cent success in the first weeks of their involvement with any smoking cessation program, but unless they undergo an attitude change towards cigarette smoking, in three months tlutt 80 per cent figure could slip to 16 per cent Studies indicate that for every person who has given up the cigarette smoking habit for good, there ore four who tried and failed. registered in Family Court and the registered agreement is enforceable as if it is a Family Court custody order. Therefore, if your spouse breaks the agreement you can contact the Family Court to have it enforced. When the parents cannot agree as to custody, either one can apply to the Family Court for an order as to custody and access (visiting rights). A temporary order can be made quickly in an emergency situation, for example where one parent threatens to take the children away. Contact the Family Court immediately if this situation arises. The temporary order is effective until there can be a full hearing as to the merits of the custody application. As custody hearings are serious. matters, a parent should obtain legal adivice; a parent who qualifies financially can obtain legal aid. In the special Unified Family Courts in Richmond and Surrey, the Family Advocate at the Court is appointed as the lawyer to represent the interests of the children. At the trial, the Court hears evidence as to the parents' financial circumstances, their home environment and their plans for the future care of the children. The Court must decide who is to have custody based on what is in the best interests of the children..The 'best interests' of the child is determined on the facts of each case. The Court looks for a stable, supportive home environment where the child will be happiest.

Turning down the noise By ROBERT WENMAN, MP Today I would like to tell you a story. It's a sad tale of Pierre, the Prime Minister, and his loathing of the people's desire for government accountability — a peculiar trait for one who holds the highest office in the land — and that's why the story is sad. Once upon a time there was a party who enjoyed the favor of the national electorate for several years. As in any society, such a political party becomes autocratic. It forgets the individuals who placed them in a position of power, allows complacency to replace electoral responsiveness and attempts to muffle the voices of opposition dissent. Pierre declared that the people do not understand the mechanics of government or the needs of politicians in the 1970's. The opposition shot back that they did not want his "New Society" but Pierre was stubborn. He saw himself decked out in his fancy new king duds taking it easy with only his wife to answer to. To mould reality from his dream, Pierre decided to decrease the noise level from below. When the Auditor-General complained of government financial mismanagement he appo:nted a Royal Commission to investigate what the Auditor-General had already investigated. In the past Pierre didn't like Mr. Macdo- nell's suggestions or Mr. Henderson's, or Mr. Glassco's. Maybe he would like Mr. Lambert's in the future. However, to Pierre's great consternation the noise didn't stop and he was forced to act on Mr. Macdonell's proposals for a Comptroller General. Pierre became dispondent because, with the possibility of a guardian of the public purse, his New Society would have to request money from someone other than himself. However, good news quickly found its way to Pierre's throne. A chairman of a Crown corporation had operated it as if the corporation was a child's lemonade stand. The Public Accounts committee was to investigate the alleged mismanagement. Lucky for Pierre, the committee had no power as it could not bring the problem before the House of Commons for debate. It could not even investigate very well; it was allotted one staff researcher. Pierre didn't sit back and relax for long (hough. He knew that the only way he could maintain control was to turn the noise level down more; Pierre sought freedom from the press. When the provincial first ministers came to talk money, Pierre decided that it would be to his advantage not to have bothersome reporters and columnists in attendance. Then he could control the image of the meeting which the people below would see. The noise level was still not low enough for Pierre to be satisfied. His faithful servant, Richard O'Hagan, was sent out to inform that ignorant rabble, the Press, of Pierre's decision not to answer questions they may put to him except at a weekly press conference. The special advisor on communications communicated ill-adviscdly..."(it is) not the proper role of the press to pursue public figures on all occasions and it can be seen at the right of public men to choose when they respond to the press!" Pity poor Pierre, reporters constantly bedevilling him, wanting reasons for and explanation of his policies. Now, Pierre just dreams of the day when he may rule without his weekly press conference, — such a bother! This talc has a happy ending. When election day arrived and the ballots counted. Pierre was a very sad Leader of the Opposition. How is it possible that the ending could be happy and Pierre still remain sad? It is possible only if the people do not share Pierre's contempt for government accountability. I imagine Pierre never did hear those words from below. Robert L. Wenman.

OVER Tiff BACK FENCE THE STAR. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY S. 1977 5 Responsibility has bred distinction in Cliff Watt By GARY CHAMBERS Consider for a moment if you will, what demands would be made upon you if you were the only legally recognized account- and in a small but growing town. Bear in mind that an accountant, like a lawyer or a doctor, is privy to a lot of personal information about clients he serves. On the basis of this personal knowledge about his customers, and his knowledge of financial laws and procedures, the accountant is called upon to give advice. It is a calling t'/iat requires its practitioners to maintain a strong display of objectivity and diplomacy at all times. Cliff Watt, who has been Aldergrove's only certified general accountant for almost two decades, is a living example of what that kind of responsibility docs to a person's character. There is an air of distinction about Cliff Watt. Sitting down with the man for a chat, one notices how he takes each word under consideration before uttering it; checking himself for accuracy; speaking his truth quietly and with sensitivity for the other fellows views, whatever they may be. Over the years, this self-trained caution has give Cliff the credibility so necessary in his line of work, and has molded him into an .unusually distinguished gentleman. Gone to sea Cliff was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1913, and spent his formative years in that province. As a young man, growing up on the monotonous Alberta landscape. Cliff began to identify himself with the sea. He joined the naval reserve forces in Edmonton. As things turned out Cliff was very lucky to have obtained his membership in the part-time navy, because with the crash of the Wall Street stock market in 1929 jobs became very scarce. In 1933. when Cliff joined the full-time forces he was one of a mere 26 men who were chosen to train for duty that year with Canada's maritime forces. 1 In 1933. there were less than 2000 men in the entire'Canadian navy, including both coasts. "Jobs weren't hanging on trees then," Cliff explains, "if I had not been a member of the reserves my application would not even have been accepted for consideration." Cliffs twenty years in the Canadian navy took him around the world at least one. He was trained in radio communications and maintenance in England; served aboard HMCS St. Croix, a destroyer leader for an escort group out of St. John's and Halifax (he was reposted after her last sailing before she was sent to the bottom of the Atlantic by enemy fire); he served aboard the Canadian ship that captured the German freighter Hannover in the Caribbean and sailed aboard H.M.C.S. Ontario across the Pacific Ocean to Australia and New Zealand. "1 went through the Panama Canal a half dozen times," he states with a nostalgic grin, "took the Warrior through the Panama." The Warrior was the first aircraft carrier to see service in the Canadian forces. In his twenty years as a Canadian sailor. Cliff served before the masts of a lot of well known monarchs of the sea. He sailed on the first two destroyers purchased by the Canadian navy, the Saguenay and the Skeena, and aboard the H.M.S. Hood, a British ship that went on to fame by delivering the fatal blow to the German battleship, Bismarck. In addition to his shipboard postings, Cliff also served at the allied naval fortress on Gibraltar, and at the communications post here in Aldergrove. It was that last posting that was to lead Cliff Watt into his present field of practise. Cliff Watt was the man entrusted with the responsibility of installing the original communication equipment in the' 'operations room' at the Aldergrove navy base. As a petty officer first ' class he served for a number of ' years as the second in command of the base. Having been a member of the senior armed force for twenty years, Cliff finds only one sore' point as he looks back. The unification of the armed forces was a move that does not escape his rarely voiced criticism. "I'm not enthused over it. 1 think they took something away from the serviceman when they did that," he observes. Unification or not, Cliff still feels the life of a mariner can be a rewarding one. "It's a good life," he says, with that reminiscent smile flickering across his face again. A change of hats "Radio as we knew it at that time wasn't much of a future," Cliff explains. "I didn't feel I could step out of the service and make a living at it." In his last few years of naval service, Cliff expanded into another field. He started doing bookkeeping duties for various people around the Aldergrove area, and in 1952 he enrolled in an accounting course offered by the Canadian General Accountant's Association. When he retired from the navy in 1953, Cliff continued doing bookkeeping work in Aldergrove until he was given his CGA's degree in 1958. ' At first Cliff operated his accounting office out of a house on the corner of Fraser Highway and 273 Street. In 1966 he made the move to Jackman Road, buying the old post office building from George McDonald who was Aldergrove's post master at the time. Meanwhile Cliff moved his residence a number of times, but never left the core of the townsite. Recently he made one more move, building a new office back on the sr-ne corner where he started complete with living quarters above. "I think I've made a good move this time. Right on this location is where I started in 1953." Today Cliff Watt can look back over almost two decades of financial service in the Aldergrove area, and in doing so, is able to see the towns potential in a slightly different light to the way many of us may see it. "It is only natural that people arc going to move here," he says, "people are moving further and further out from the city." Cliff feels that the development of Aldergrove rests with the type of large business enterprises that can be induced to locate here. "If we could get the international border opened on a 24-hour basis, we could develop as a warehousing centre," he . explains. Aldergrove, according to Cliff, is the most logical route into Vancouver for truckers coming from the United States. The industrial property located on the corner of Fraser Highway and 264 Street is the only industrial zone in the Aldergrove area and would be an- ideal place to develop warehousing space. "Whatever industry does come here, it is going to have to be of a service or warehousing type," he states. Cliff says there still is lots of good farmland in the Aldergrove area, but cautions that farming is not the same business today that it was in 1953. When he first started providing accounting services for Aldergrove, Cliffs custom was comprised of almost 90 per cent agricultural businesses. Today he reports that the number has dropped significantly, although the agricultural clients he has today are larger businesses on the average. Cliff feels the decline of farming as a family business is due to a number of things, not the least of which is the federal Continued on page 6 CUM Watt, relaxing at home • :v GETYOUR APPLICATION BYFEBRUARY4TK The restoration of historical buildings, the construction of a fire hall, the replacement of an outdated water system, If you stop and think about it there are probably many good projects that could create jobs and be of great benefit to your community.

"Hfomtnoftidf 530-46331 THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5,1977 Responsibility.... income tax structure. According to Cliff, a lot of the farmers who used to operate spreads in this area were in fact part-time farmers. They operated the farms while doing other jobs to supplement their income. Often, if a farm had a bad year it had to be subsidized from the farmer's other revenue source. "When they stopped letting them deduct their losses most of these people stopped farming", explaines Cliff, Another major factor in the demise of small farms was the policy established by the Fraser Valley Milk Producers a few years ago. The policy in fact stated that the association would no longer pick up can* of milk. This meant that many people had to invest in expensive bulk storage equipment, a capital expenditure that drove many small farms out of the business. "I think the shopping centre will be a major factor in the town." he says, changing the subject and referring to the shopping centre planned for the area just north of the existing main street. "When you get a good shopping centre, your residential area grows too," Cliff states. He explains that the introduction of new businesses leads to greater variety and more competition on prices. Both of these things arc major attractions for new residents and shoppers, Greater Involvement There are not many people who have lived in Aldergrove for any length of time who do not know of Cliff Watt as the local accountant. What those same people may not know, however, is that Cliff has also served the community in a quieter ways as a member of three of the towns most important civic bodies. It started with his involvement in the Aldergrove Agricultural Association, a local group that has worked within the community since shortly after the turn of the century. As a member of the A.A.A. Cliff was instrumental in a number of well orchestrated community improvements programs. The achievements of the association over the years are too numerous to list, but suffice to say that Cliff Watt was deeply involved with the group through many of the years when it was most active in this area. Among the best known achievements of the A.A.A, in those years was the donation of the Aldergrove baseball park to the municipality, and the subsequent servicing of that park with floodlights. Cliff explains that the lights were installed in the park by the association, and then people who used, the baseball diamond or came to watch games were asked if they wished to donate to the park fund. "Nickels and dimes is what we got." says Cliff, adding that those nickels and dimes paid off the bills over a period of time. He reflects that people don't seem to participate that way anymore. Cliff is also a charter member of the Aldergrove Chamber of Commerce, and serves as chairman of the Aldergrove Utilities Committee. The utilities committee is a group appointed by district council to direct the installation and maintenance of utilities on the Continued from page 5 townsite. It started some years ago when the town still had wooden boardwalks instead of cement walkways. The chamber of commerce decided to establish the commission as a splinter group devoted to the betterment of the town's sidewalks. In short course the group did manage to get some cement sidewalks, but it became impossible to stop there. People wanted lights next, and then city water and sewers. Today the committee still reports to the chamber of commerce although it has been taken under the wing of Langley council. It also remains the only way a local person can put teeth in their demands for better utility services. Perhaps Cliff's greatest achievement in public life, or at least the one he feels most proud about, was the Little British Empire Games. The games were held in 1964 to take advantage of the large number of athletes who were in Vancouver for the real British Empire Games. "It was Pete's dream, and Trevor Beggs and I were able to make it a reality for him," states Cliff, speaking of the late Pete Swensson, who was recreational director for Langley municipality for many years. Trevor Beggs is another Aldergrove resident who has been involved for many years in the recreation field. The Little British Empire Games saw athletes from all over the British Commonwealth competing on the Aldergrove ball diamond in track and field events. "We had some of the real top athletes out here. Without Pete we really couldn't have done it eithcr.he had the connections. So it really took the three of us," Cliff explains. Cliff Watt has always displayed a great interest in recreation. His Sunday shopping meets disapproval friends often refer to him as an ardent fisherman, and he is also a member of the Langley Seniors curling rink. "I've always been interested in sports, still am," he states. Never ending circle So what about this man who has spent a good deal of his life helping to shape the future of Aldergrove and that of many of its townspeople? How does he view it all when he takes time to look back on his life in Alberta as a boy, on the high seas as a young man and here in Aldergrove as a father and a husband?. Perhaps cliff Watt lets a little more of himself out than he actually realizes when he speaks of the changes that the military has gone through. "It's a good life today," he says. "I think they have it a lot better than we had it then, but then we had it a lot better than the guys who came before us." That pretty well illustrates the way Cliff Watt views things. There are as many different definitions for cliff Watt as there arc people to offer them, they might range from 'cautious optimist' to 'constructive critic'. Basically we think it all comes down to being distinguished. Having a quality that only comes about when you start to realize there are other people in the world but yourself. A quality 'some people might call 'class'. It is a long way from a comfy apartment in Aldergrove to the deck of a Canadian destroyer in the Caribbean, but it is a gap that Cliff Watt has managed to bridge in his lifetime. A feat he performed in his own way. "1 have no regrets," he states, "it was a good life." We have no regrets about Cliff Watt either, but we can go a little further because we don't have to be modest. We can say with complete certainty that Cliff Watt is not finished yet.

They are from comer Stan Fraser. in by Judge Hugh Anderson In left to right: Elford Nundal, — Staff Photo Langley municipal hall Mon- veteran Bill Blair, and new- Alderman Brady's farewell MURRAYVILLE - An alderman here said this week that in his opinion council could effectively control Sunday shopping through its business license bylaw. Council had once again received a letter from a Langley resident voicing strong opposition to stores being open in the district seven days a week. Limitations as to whether a business could be open five, six or seven days a week could be written right into individual business licenses issued by the municipal hall, said Aid. Elford Nundal. Aid. Art Brooks said he agreed with the letter writer, Judy Hollingsworth of 21653 Fraser Highway. But Aid. Bill Blair said that he could sec many stores open on Sundays serving a purpose in the community. Blair proposed that Hoi lings worth's letter be referred to council's administration committee for further consideration. Aid. Jim Lee said in his opinion the matter was already solved by the senior government's Lord's Day Act, and " we have very little opportunity to make changes." Hollingsworth cited increasing family breakdowns and crime as the resultant factors of Sunday work and recent more liberal provincial liquor laws. MATSQUI — Outgoing alderman Bob Brady, on Monday told The Star that he is undecided about his political future, that he has enjoyed his two-year term on council, and that he wishes the new council well in 1977. He also spoke highly of Mayor Harry DcJong's manner of government and felt that former Mayor Doug Taylor (elected back as an alderman in November) could be a real asset on council during the coming year. "I've really enjoyed working with mayor DeJong," Brady said. "He's a very dedicated man and it was a pleasure working with him. Right now I'm planning on some quiet relaxation and I'll leave any decision about running next year for the future. "I'd like to congratulate Henry Friesen, Jimmy McDonald, and Doug Taylor on their successful campaigns, and encourage them to working with council. It was a close race all the way, and Henry" Wicbc and Eric Schmidbauer also deserve credit for the way they conducted their campaigns." Brady, a resident of Bradncr' area, praised senior municipal staff for the co-operation they had DODGE ARROW HATCHBACK $87.81 Monthly 36 Month Lease \NGLEY CHRYSLER 534-5355 given him, particularly in his capacity as chairman of the public works committee. "They helped me a lot. I never had any trouble getting my questions answered," he said. "It was a good group to work with," continued Brady. "Spud Murphy and Chuck Wiebe (who didn't seek re-election) were always ready to help; they both had a lot of experience so I often followed their advice. "Ray Kirkwood really came into his own as head of the committee on the fire department. Chris Lamb and Claire Baldwin brought a tot of new ideas and energy to last year's council and I'm sure they'll continue to make outstanding contributions this year. Their year's experience should be an asset in dealing with the complex problems ahead," said Brady. • When questioned about fears expressed by other members of council that former Mayor Taylor could become a disruptive influence on council, Brady stated: "Let's wait and sec about Doug. We can speculate all we want, but the fact remains that Doug has a lot going for him. He's experienced, energetic, and could make an outstanding alderman. As far as him dividing council I'm not willing to condemn him unless he proves himself guilty. He barely made it to council and I can't see him trying to dominate it." Brady, a B.C. Hydro utilization technician, plans concentrating his energies on his job, which often had to come second to aldermanic duties, then decide next fait about his political future. "Till then I would really like to thank all the people of Matsqui for their confidence and trust. I appreciate their support and did what 1 could. I've enjoyed my two-year term, and hope that my efforts have been worth while." "I would like to wish all the people of the Matsqui. Abbotsford and Aldergrove areas a very happy New Year," concluded Brady. HttEZERMBfTSLl •OKt MPKTB • CUSTOM CUTTM i. 6234-264th STREET 1 Milt North ol th« Com* Form DONT PAY MORES GRAIN FED Gov't.

K.NEILL FOSTER As 1976 winds down and 1977 begins to unfold one of the events of the past year that will be remembered will be the death of Howard Hughes, the American billionaire. A recluse during the last fifteen years of his life, a man tormented by phobias and fears, Hughes had nevertheless managed to accumulate a fortune worth 2.3 billion dollars. If that figure is meaningless, the interest at a rather ordinary rate of return would amount to about $5-million dollars a week. According to the news-magazine Time. Hughes was often unkempt, often unclad, a drug addict, an invalid who weighed not more than 90 pounds, a victim at last to a sickness from which one of his own foundations had equipment to save him. The emerging view of Howard Hughes is anything but bright and cheery. Undoubtedly, he was one of the world's richest—and unhappiest—men. Money is not the root of all evil, as some suggest. But the love of it certainly is. It is possible, even probable, that Howard Hughes loved it dearly. But he slipped into eternity as a mere wraith of a man. Nearly friendless. Loved perhaps by none. It is not for us to speculate on the destiny of Mr. Hughes. But these words, nearly two thousand years old. have a haunting ring. "What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" Apparently only S2.3-biilion was enough to imprison a man as brilliant as Howard Hughes.

LANGLEY FUNERAL HOME PHONE LANGLEY: 530-6488 HENDERSON'S FUNERAL HOMES LTD. PHONE: 853-8381 ABBOTSFORD B> JOHN ELLENS This day has been almost the bcsl for bird watching this year, with a temperature of 46 degrees, sunshine, perfect visibility and no wind. The newly fallen snow looked sparkling white on the mountain peaks especially on Mt. Blanchard and Mt. Judge Howie. On our return home we noticed that a lot of the snow had disappeared. There were large flocks of Mew gulls on Nicoman Island. Around the slough widgeons and Buffleheads were seen and then...six large Whist- ing Swans floating on the placid water with their necks erect. A few of them didn't have their perfect white winter plumage yet. We spent a few minutes there as our camera fans were very busy. A by-passing fisherman told Jack that Harrison Bay was "full" of these swans. Before we left we saw what probably was a Coopers Hawk with the gray and black bands on its long tail, really a large resemblance of the much smaller Sharp shinned Hawk. We heard the call of the Pileated Woodpecker and a lone juvenile Bald Headed Eagle was seen flying overhead. Arriving St Harrison Bay we noticed that the water was very low and as the bay was not "full" of swans, quite a number of them, perhaps fifty or more were seen in the mud flats and in the shallow water. As it was getting past eleven o'clock. Jack suggested that we go to Weaver Creek and have lunch at the spawning Grounds. The gates were locked, but we explored a little around the creek and hiked a short distance up the the road. There were still a number of gulls feeding on the remnants of dead salmon. We ate our lunch outside leaning against the cars and soaking up the warm sunshine. So December can be like this sometimes. We saw and heard some of the resident birds around as Golden Crown Kinglets. Robings, one Varied Thrush, Winterwren, Songsparrow not to forget a Dipper who was seen sitting on a wooden structure of a square reservoir and a little later on too, singing on the bank of a fast running creek. Their rather large bills are slightly bent. These birds are still a mystery to the professional bird people. I forgot to mention the Belted Kingfisher on the telephone wires on the road that runs along the Weaver Creek flats. One our return trip we noticed the highlights of our I.F. Butler & Sons Ltd.

There were at least thirty to fourty Bald Headed Eagles in the poplars and the mud flats of the meandering Weaver Creek not far from the Pretty property. There a few mature birds with their white heads and tail feathers. It was a great sight to see them fly with their nearly eight foot wing-span. There were still a few salmon splashing through the shallow water and it looked as if the eagles were waiting tor our cars to move on. They were close enough for the photographers. I am looking forward to seeing the results. After 3 p.m., we drove home under a sunny sky and lovely scenery. Our valley is hard to beat.

By IRENE ABBEY CANDU has opened a can of worms, but • let us not be sidetracked by one little baby that has crawled out of the can, as the big mamma worm is only beginning to emerge. Taxpayers are horrified, and justly so. at the twenty to thirty VlMftalfhff, M fog vehicle en offence Over the busy Christmas season, a number of merchants particularly in the Brookswood shopping areas brought to the attention of the police the fact that a great number of people, mainly women doing last minute shopping, were leaving small children in their vehicles, parked directly in front of the businesses large plate glass windows. The concern of the merchants is that these people were leaving their engines running. With small children in the car, the vehicle could easliy be set in motion, causing injury to the children and possibly other people, as well as crashing through those expensive windows. In view of this concern, we would like to caution all drivers in this regard, particularly since it affects the safety of their children, and also remind them that it is an offence to leave a running vehicle unattended. million dollars paid to foreign agents to peddle our CANDU reactors to Argentina and South Korea, etc. But 'worm one' is picayune and incidental compared with the hidden scandal and cruel hoax that is being perpetrated on Canadian citizens and peoples thoughout the world, who are being conned by the outrageous propaganda that nuclear power plants are efficient, cheap, safe, and an answer to our prayers for future electricity. Take one example alone, Ontario, with six operating nuclear power plants: • Initial high production at Pickering has dropped. • Unit 4 operated only 7 days in just over a year, from April 4, 1975. • Unit 3 was down 233 days from March 31, 1975. • Atomic Energy of Canada Limited had to buy U.S. replacement power at $210,000 a day per unit. • Labour and material cost $10 million (Globe & Mail, April 15, 1976) • Ontario Hydro rates rose 29.7% in 1975; 33.7% in 1976; will rise again 25.6% on January 1,1977. (Vancouver Sun, Dec. 11, 1976). Is the cost of nuclear power the reason why Ontario hydro rates arc rising so steadily and drastically? Then there are the hidden costs • Atomic reactors last 20 - 30 years, and then must be shut down forever as radioactive waste. • High level wastes must be stored up to 1000 years. • Low-level wastes must be isolated forever. • Para-military protection by guards for nuclear material in storage and in transit. • Interest on enormous capital costs. • Replacing reactors every 30 years at $2 billion each. • Medical and social costs pertaining to uranium and nuclear workers with cancer: e.g.. the following item in the Van couver Sun, November 26, 1976: "London - Big union sues over death of three nuclear workers". This does not include the horrendous damage that radiation can do to the genes of future generations as outlined by many geneticists. I have only skimmed over one aspect of the problems of nuclear plants. We have yet to recount the many accidents that have already taken place. • The immense capital expenditure to build these nuclear reactors. • The exhorbitant cost of perpetual care for the wastes. • The dangers and costs to be encountered, such as highjacking, sabotage, and radiation damages.

The fungus enters tree roots and clogs the water conducting tissues of the plant. The first symptom is wilted leaves on one or two tree branches and the tree may die if it doesn't get enough food and water. Dr. A.T. Bolton at Agriculture Canada's Ottawa research station, advises that maple trees should be fertilized and watered every spring to avoid trouble. He is also beginning to study fungicides to see if chemicals can be used to protect Canada's national symbol.

Strong Municipal Clerk 1&2 Spotlight on - the arts As we draw to the close of the year 1976. once again we reflect on the- many good things that have happened to the Arts in Langley in the past year. The Executive and members of the Langley Arts Council wish to lhank the City of Langley, Aldermen Mike Omelaniac and Iris Mooney for the continued support of the Arts Centre in City Park and for their personal interest in our endeavours. Thanks also to the Municipality of Langley Council for their efforts in keeping the Exhibit Gallery in the Centennial Museum complex OPEN all year round for the first time. Mr. Ken Norman and assistant Carolyn Keeley have brought in some very excellent exhibits and they will have another ready for us on Jan. 3/77 for the communtiy to enjoy during these winter months. Mr. Darch Oborne. recreation director for the City and Municipality has included more and more Arts oriented programs and the Arts Council is pleased to see the Arts being recognized in the recreation field. The School Board cooperated fullv in the presentation of CHILDREN and the Arts in June with thousands of children participating. Mr. Ron Bowcott, Adult Education director includes more and more craft courses for Adults each term. The provincial government continues to support the Langley Arts Council yearly with B.C. Cultural grant money and the federal government came forward this past year with an Exploration grant from the Canada Council for the Langley Community Music School. Dr. Keith Lamont was recognized with the presentation of the Eric Flowcrdew Trophy for his contribution along with Peter Ewart in the building of the first Arts Centre. Many businessmen are coming forward to become Patrons of the Arts and we have established a Theatre Committee for the establishment and building of a Community Theatre. publicly owned and operated. In support of this committtee, artists arc presenting their talents in support of the project, namely, Peter Ewart. Mary Gravslle. Leslie Jones. Maysfield Singers, Langley Players and ALL the members of the Faculty of the Langley Community Music School. Concert dates will be announced next week for the Spring attractions in aide of the Theatre. Langley Arts Council has also joined the Touring Council of B.C. which will set up the machinery so to speak in bringing good Canadian talent to this community on a regular basis. All we need now is the theatre bidding! As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Langley Arts Council participated in the Langley Days parade by placing a float in the parade and coming home with the prize. We thank this group of business men for their encouragement and co-operation the nast year and look forward to working with them in 77. Hope we can live up to your expectations! To the MEDIA we say thank- you for the excellent promotion and coverage of all the events last year. Each week the management and staff of the Langley Advance. Sun-Herald, and Aldergrove Star have been real Patrons of the Arts. To C.J.J.C. and C.H.Q.M. for their spot announcements in bringing information to their listeners on the outstanding events taking place wc say "Thank-you". To Channel 10 T.V. — Focus on the Arts which featured Langley Arts Groups each month, we hope to continue and improve this presentation of local artists on programs in 77. With all this excellent help, if volunteer workers did not come forward and take over the hundreds of organizational jobs the Langley Arts Council would not exist in this community. To these individuals, we arc indebted for the many hours of work and the sharing of their talent. To all the Patrons of the Arts in Langley — a Happy. Healthy and Prosperous New Year in 1977. May it see the beginning of construction on the Community Theatre! ,jlMTHeSBtoBU>6 •:~ALD6Ftfifc>v£* "• Tel.: 856-»5Bll **=w/yiDusa> THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1977 |F*9 ~ i Z 1 o CO LU wl-s -■<- ■^KV *<2 • CO FACTURE OF Y SAUSA 2 1— !

By ELIZABETH HAWKINS When the whole world is demanding angel costumes, dinner and four dozen jars of apple jelly, life just may not be worth living — at least in the house! You may have to promise a bucket of chocolate chip cookies for the price of an entire evening or a Sunday morning, but. with a helpful mate to keep the family at bay. you can create a paradise all to yourself in your very own bedroom! Bedrooms are ideally suited to pamper our bodies and our souls — with some minor changes they can accommodate our whims or our needs with less expense and effort than most other rooms in the house. First "condense" those massive dressers and bureaus to simpler storage. Furniture should no longer be purchased as "suites'* so don't be afraid to break up a "set" and use the pieces elsewhere. Your retreat in the first place was for peace and quiet not tennis, so include the things you can enjoy in solitude; your favorite music — records, tapes, stereo, television, a personal library, or a special hobby. Extending or adding a closet can enclose equipment on counters or shelves, behind doors or open to display, if you prefer. If bathroom space is more Old Spice than Intimate, perhaps a bathroom vanity with make-up mirror and lighting to prune and pamper an evening away can be sheer luxury. And while you're rearranging the space, don't forget a place for the coffee perc and a bar fridge. If the most it ever holds is your morning orange juice, you'll still feel like a kitten with a bowl of milk! Indulge in a chaise lounge, window seat or sofa or don't even get out of bed. Favorite sheets, a down quilt and a half dozen pillows will keep you from even thinking about leaving. While you're in bed. make it the place you want to be. A hankering for an old fashioned four poster, a water bed. a king size, or even a new mattress, will be an improvement to your spirits and your back if the bed you have now George Washington really did sleep in! Just remember, when you hear that quiet tap at the bedroom door, don't let anybody in... without identification, an appointment AND a breakfast tray! OAPO reminder Meeting ond Bingo/ Just a reminder again, members of B.C. O.A.P.O. Matsqui Branch No. 69.

Joe Chesney said Monday he took the step to save the station from going under. He said he expects to rehire most of the fired 30 people but about six will definitely be let go. Employees were told of the dismissals Friday in a memorandum outlining the station's *'serious financial circumstance." Chesney said a new company was being formed to run the radio station. Ernie Mykyte, owner of Duncan radio station CKAY, has has bought a half ownership of CJJC by obtaining shares held by four minority shareholders. The share transfer must be approved by the Canadian Radio and Television Commission. Chesney wouldn't comment on reports that he had fired all staff members in order to invalidate some personal-services contracts awarded by a former station manager to some top staff. "We've got to save money. If we have six fewer people that should cover our losses," he said. Chesney has owned CJJC for 14 years. He said the last two have been the worst financially. The Ed Lees celebrate their 40th anniversary ALDERGROVE - A local couple celebrated their 40th anniversary last week at the home of their son and daughter-in-law at Chilliwack. The joyful occasion was followed by a come-and-go tea at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lee in the Aldergrove trailer court. The Lee's have a family of two sons, two daughters-in-laws, and three grandchildren. They lived in Saskatchewan for many years before moving to British Columbia and making their home in this community. "We would like to thank our family and all our many friends for the lovely gifts and well wishes." Mrs. Lee said this week. "And a special thank-you to our daughter-in-law for baking and decorating the lovely three-tiered wedding cake." "This occasion will be remembered by Ed and myself for many years to come."

COME E3 GARDENING pj3 with imA Doc Hartnoll Let Your Gift Grow and Endure Now comes the time of year when we think of others. It will soon be Christmas and a time for giving and a lime to be rejoiceful. Plants make lovely enduring gifts. It's a nice touch, loo. lo include instructions for potting and care, to make life mure enjoyable for the recipient. I remember one year doing a "Garden Clinic" at-a department store during the Christmas season. We gave instructions on the culture of Christmas plants, plus suggestions for items that would be of interest to the home plant grower. Some of the most popular suggestions were a bag of Pink Vigoro or a package of Vigoro sterilized potting soil and a box of Instant Vigoro. These would start a home gardener off on the right foot. They'd have everything to pot or re-pot a plant. POINSETTIA: The poinsettia is probably the most traditional of all holiday plants. It will last quite well if it is kept out of draughts and in a sunny place. Don't put them near doors that open frequently. Poinsettia soil should be kept moist. When leaves and blooms start to drop normally, withhold watering — do this gradually — so that by the time the plant is leafless the soil will be on the dry side. The plant can be kept in this dormant state in a cool, dry place until early spring. Then cut back the stems to about six inches in height, and start watering again. The plant will surge into new growth. When the weather settles, say about the end of May, put the pot and plant in Ihe soil outdoors. JKRl'SAMCM CHERRY: The trick is to keep Ihe orange-like fruits on the plant.,(The,plant is related to the tomato, potato and other nightshade varieties-— but not the cherry). If the room is warm and humid all should be well. If there is the least taint of gus fume in the air. the plant will wilt. Never let the soil dry out as this will also cause wilting, fruit and leaf drop. Water it daily while in fruit. KAI.ANCHOE: The gay red flowered plant requires more water than most succulents. The soil should be moist; not sopping wet. Strong sunshine will retard growth. If the room is too warm the leaves wilt drop. Keep the plant in a bright, fairly cool location, and the red flowers should continue to produce all during the king winter months. CYCLAMEN: The orchid-like flowers of this plant makes it one of the treasured gift plants. Cyclamens must be kept cool and moist, usually a temperature of around 16°C. If the plant can be kept in the coolest room in the house, you may expect it to bloom for a few months. In fact, we have kept a cyclamen in bloom until Mother's Day by removing the spent blossoms and allowing (he new flower buds to make up and produce. AZALEAS: Another "keep cool and moist plant." These days azaleas are grown so they are available to the public at any time of the year. It is still a favorite for Christmas, Valentine's. Mothers Day or at anytime for gift giving. There is a variety on the market named "Keepsake", and if kept moist and cool will bloom for the longest time. It can be planted outdoors, too. in the spring. These are just a few of the many plants for Christmas gifts. Don't forget Christmas Cactus, known back in Grandma's day. or philodendron, Viny Pathos, Nephthytis, Begonias and we mustn't overlook that little pet of all house plants — the African Violet. Remember if you will, Neighbors, that plants given for Christmas should be wanted by the person you are giving them to. There is very little point in buying an expensive plant if the person who receives it is not going to give it the attention it requires. Holiday greetings come from the entire staff at The Garden Information Centre who join me in wishing you and yours the very best holiday. It's been a pleasure lo meet so many good home gardeners through the mail, from all across Canada. And come the New Year we'll continue to help you solve your garden problems.

Restoring ond refinishing furniture You picked up an antique chest clean soft cloth. Repeat the whole Wide variety of school activities of drawers, cheaply because it was caked in grime, and now you've cleaned it thoroughly (see how-to in last week's column). There it stands, looking a lot better than you imagined it procedure and keep repeating until no oil seems to have been absorbed after about a week. (Absorbtion occurs more slowly with successive applications.) After the final coating, remove would, with only a few spots of the surplus oil until there's no bad wear. This piece is perfect for trace of it on the wiping cloth. restoring rather than refinishing, and here's one way of doing it: The main ingredients needed to bring back the lustre are linseed oil, turpentine, and wax. Time and elbow grease are also prerequisites, and for the final touches, varnish, shellac or Danish oil. The first step after cleaning is "feeding". This can take up to five or six weeks, but the end results more than justify the time involved. Feeding the piece with linseed oil (buy the best grade you can find) renews the old varnish and the wood fibers. Find a spot for your work where the piece won't have to be moved around, and which is free of dust-carrying draughts, then apply the first coat of linseed. The oil may be warmed if you like, for better penetration. Do this in a double boiler, and be sure to keep a close watch on it as it easily catches fire. Don't let it come to a boil, or become so hot that brush bristles get scorched. Unhealed oil is still effective but the temperature in the working area should be about 18 degrees (about 70 degrees Farenheit) as linseed oil stiffens and thickens if it cools. Use a clean paint brush, and coat the piece with linseed oil — just enough to completely cover the surface, but not so much that it stands in pools. Once finished, rebottle the oil and clean the brush with turpentine. Let the furniture stand until the wood has absorbed as much oil as possible — usually several days — then wipe off any excess oil with a Bread only culprit Is whole wheat bread fattening? To describe any food as fattening is misleading, says the Nutrition Society of Canada, for it is not any single food which is guilty of causing a gain in weight, it is the total amount of all foods eaten which add extra pounds if they provide more calories than the individual needs for normal activity and well-being* Practically any f«od can help to add those extra pounds, if you eat enough of it, says the society. But bread is not a guilty food any more than grapefruit, eggs, skim milk or sardines may be guilty. An average slice of whole wheat bread contains about 75 calories-the same as one large orange, one egg, one glass of skim milk, or a one-inch cube of cheese. In fact, it adds, the one slice of bread contains fewer calories and more of the essential nutrient, fibre, than a serving of canned peaches, four medium sardines or a serving of lemon sherbet ABBOTSFORD CINEMA BLUE ■ CINEMA RED JAN. 6-12 \, w 7*9 PM #*g* f Ms a hilarious outrageous road race. ciimui' | JAN. 6-12 7&9PM Thurs. - Wed. kWarning, some frightening scenes!

SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED You'll probably want to patch any worn spots, and to find out whether the original finish was varnish or shellac, test an underside spot with a piece of blotting paper soaked in alcohol. Let the paper remain on the spot for a few minutes. The alcohol will soften if varnish was originally used. (A good time to make this test is between oilings). If you're patching varnish, use a fine grade of new varnish (both that and shellac can be ordered from a good furniture restorer). Thin it to a syrup and apply it with a small brush. A day or so later, gently kill the gloss with a very fine powdered emery or pumice. If the finish was shellac, then you can patch with the orange variety if your wood is on the dark side, or white if it's on the light. Use a small amount of alcohol to cut the shellac (about one part to four parts shellac) and apply up to three or four coats. Smooth each coat with the finest sandpaper to remove the high gloss. The final step is polishing. Some people make their own wax from beeswax and turpentine, but there are several quality commercial preparations available, from hardware or antique stores. A little wax and. lots of elbow grease is still considered the best remedy, and some people have found a time saver in using the polishing attachment on an electric drill. This must be carefully handled, though, because it can ruin the surface of the restoration. You may have to wax two or three times to get a good polish, but after that, once or twice a year keeps the piece in good condition. If paint was used originally, then this can be touched up if you can match the color. Most often, however, painted pieces end up being stripped and refinished. And refinishing will be next week's topic. Readers' queries will be answered provided they are accompanied by a stamped, self- addressed envelope. Address questions'to Chris Potter, c/o The Star. ALDERGROVE — The Christmas holidays brought an active first term to a close for county Line school, Sports Students participated in the five Langley district cross-country meets, and several runners finished well up in the standings. All students enjoyed the opportunity of being able to participate, and their coach, Mr, Anthony, was pleased with their effort and conduct. A boys team entered the elementary basketball tournament. Despite losing their games by close scores, the boys showed excellent sportsmanship and are to be congratulated for their effort. A floor hockey team travelled to Fort Langley elementary and enjoyed an exciting game there. Mr. Wiebe will be arranging further games of this nature in the new year. Field Trips Two primary classes travelled to the Reifel bird sancturay with their teachers. The trip was correlated with studies they had done in the classroom. Following the trip, the students painted large murals of they had seen, and displayed the art work in the hallway. Two intermediate classes viewed "The Stars of Mauna Kea" at the olanetarium in Vancouver. These students had been studying stars and the universe in their science pro- BC- FARM MUSEUM Receives expansion grant The B.C. Farm Machinery Museum Association has received a grant of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00) from the Government of British Columbia for use in the expansion of the museum facilities at Fort Langley, B.C. The cheque was presented by Hon. R.H. McClelland, Minister of Health, to President Tom Hobbis, Past President Alex Hope and Secretary Gordon Laiidon on Pec. 17 in, Langley*. This donation will greatly assist the Association in making improvements to the museum building in Fort Langley. 20% OFF ALL TONKA, m FISHER PRICE TOYS COLICO GAMES 27253-South Fraser Way 856-2412 grams, and had read about the various kinds of telescopes used to chart the universe. The program they saw told about the large observatory Canada is helping build in Hawaii, and the reasons for its location atop Mt. Mauna Kea. Skating Students, teachers, and a few parents participated in four skating sessions at the Aldergrove arena. For some students, this was the first time they had been on skates. The primary classes skated for one hour, and they were followed by the intermediate students who also skated for an hour. A pleasant "bonus" for the intermediate students was the half-hour hockey game arranged each trip by Mr. Wiebe and Mr. Anthony. Paying with a sponge- rubber puck to reduce the chance of injury or need for special equipment, the teachers and students played four very enjoyable games. The improvement in skating skills from the first week to the fourth session was very apparent. Report Cards and Parent-teacher conferences As in the other schools in Langley, all students were issued report cards on December 3, and conferences were held on December 6. The staff encouraged the parents to attend their interviews sessions, and arranged other times for those parents unable to come on December 6. So far the teachers have met with 97 per cent of the parents, and interviews are being scheduled in January for those few not already seen. Christmas Program A most successful Christmas program was held on Wednesday, December 15. Students presented plays, songs and choral speaking and the choir sang sixteen Christmas hymns or carols. The audience joined the choir for the singing of "Joy to the World" and "O Come All Ye Faithful". All people concerned - the students, teachers, and parents • seemed very pleased with the program presented. Parent-teach Council The parent-teacher group council has planned several money- raising ventures. One hot dog sale has already been held, and more will follow win the new year. A side-of-beef raffle will be held in January, with the draw to be made on February 4 at a dance at the Aldergrove Legion. The top priority item for the funds raised will be the expansion of the tennis court at County Line school. The P.T.G. is committed th raising up to $2500 for this project. Tickets for the raffle and dance will be available in January, and all area residents are welcome to participate. New Construction The school has been the scene of construction this past term, as a new half-size gym is being added, and the present gym will be remodelled as a library. Teachers and students, especially the grade sevens, have had to cope with a large amount of noise interfering with the lessons. Having the ceiling and wall shake and having chalk bouncing on the ledge are now common-place to the grade seven students. The construction will continue into the ear. as the target date for completion is March, 1977. It is hoped that the work will not seriously disrupt the classes in the shcool. although with the noise, concentration on studies is sometimes difficult to maintain.

DRIEDIGER'S MEATS ACROSS FROM SUPER VAUI PHONE JOHN: 856-7616 16 THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY S, 1977 ROAM AT HOME A REHABILITATION STORY From tragedy to success Valemount Sculptor If you -isit the Valemount home of Margaret McKirdy. you'll make the acquaintance of pig farmers, loggers, storekeepers, cooks and half the people of a valley. You won'! meet them in person, but you'll feel almost as if you have — thanks to the remarkably realistic sculpted figures that fill the house. .Like many other people in British Columbia. Mrs. McKirdy lias decided that she wants to help preserve the history of the area where she lives. But. instead ul helping to build a museum or collecting photographs, she has chosen to record the history of the Valemount valley in clay sculp- lures. Valemount. on the Ycllowhcad 5 highway midway between Kam- loops and Prince George, is known mostly as a base for helicopter skiing in the Bugaboos and as ihe farthest reach north of the Columbia River's Mica Dam reservoir. Mrs. McKirdy wants to show another side of the area. "Some of the women in town had a pottery club and they sort of heal me into joining," explains Mrs. McKirdy. "I was making a mug one day and decided to put a face on it. From then on, I really got involved." The involvement meant sculpting representations of the people who made the valley. "It wasn't the politicians or fhe wealthy," says Mrs. McKirdy. "It was the nameless ones who built this valley." Her sculptures so far include a pig farmer with his pigs, a man leaning on a farm shovel to talk, loggers at work or at play, local people in their stores or other businesses, horses drawing logs through the snowy woods, a trapper on snowshoes, and alt kinds of other people who have lived and worked in the valley. Mrs. McKirdy obtains her clay from a local cr,eek. She uses everyday substances to produce the textures she wants on her sculptures: bark for the trees, knitting rolled over the clay to give a ribbed cloth texture, other textured cloth for other surfaces, "Sometimes I know what l want when I start; sometimes it just happens while I'm working," says Mrs. McKirdy. "I just want to show how things used to be." (This Roam at Home story is one of a series produced by the British Columbia Ministry of the Provincial Secretary and Travel Industry.)

Aldergrove Realty HANEY — "I felt like a kid graduating from high school, I didn't know what was around the next corner." These are not the words of an adolescent but of the father of McKirdy sculpture of logging sleigh. B.C. Govt, photo three school-age children who had to rehabilitate himself following a seriously disabling injury. The road back for 36-year-old Jim Waldron of Haney started 11 months after his accident. Jim's head was crushed when a 500- gallon fuel tank broke loose and rolled on him as he was operating a mobile yard machine. He sustained a severely crushed right forehead which required extensive hospitalization and resulted in the loss of sight in his right eye. After a period of recuperation the disabled worker contacted the Worker's Compensation Board's rehabilitation services department for counselling. Dave Martin. WCB rehabilitation consultant, went to visit Jim at his home and reviewed Jim's situation with him. The loss of sight in his right eye prevented him from returning to his former job as a heavy equipment operator. Assisting injured workers to return to suitable and gainful employment is the main function of this WCB department. In most cases the disabled worker is able to return to his former job but in some cases, such as Jim Wal- dron's, it is necessary to retrain or find a new job to suit the particular disability of the injured person. After discussion with the rehabilitation consultant it was decided that he would train to be a radio announcer. Gifted with an exceptionally fine voice and several years of experience as a radio operator in the navy, this seemed like a logical choice for Jim Waldron. He was now ready for the first step in his rehabilitation. The WCB sponsored his training through the Columbia School of Broadcasting. Jim graduated from the school and started an on-the-job training program with radio station CJJC in Langley. Meanwhile, Bob Long was now Jim's rehabilitation consultant and he helped arrange the training program. After his training Jim was fortunate to obtain a civilian position with a police force. Today Jim Waldron, the former heavy equipment operator, is a full-time police communications officer with the New Westminster police department. "Now that I am disabled how can I make a living and support my family?" This is the dilemma that faces many injured workers and this is an example of how one man coped with it over a period of two vears.
