Forecasters of doom and despair still mutter about a failing ^jtconomy, uncontrollable infla- •"flon, uneasy international condi- llons. and bad weather. Here in Aldergrove we can see i problems, several of them, belonging to each of those categories. Aldergrove Centre, that mall designed to entice locals to spend more time and money here at . home, still has empty shops, and . rumor has it that if differences aren't soon settled between man agement and tenant businesses there may be more empty shops before long. Main street, although it has a newer, cleaner look than in previous years, has an emptiness about it. Businesses, some with hardly a season's exposure, some like Rowley's with a long time history here, vacate and leave more empty windows staring at the street. Prices continue rising, the border crossing causes international problems if only with holiday traffic line-ups, and the weather is always too something. •<• The Matsqui side of Aldergrove may be seeing a soon shake-up in the fire department structure since Abbotsford did not endorse the joint fire committee recommendations to proceed with the joint fire department as it is structured. "To be or not to be?" that is the question to be answered for the joint fire department during today's joint Matsqui-Abbotsford council meeting. And that is exactly the question that Alderman Ray Klrkwood, fire committee chairman, is not answering. Shocked by Abbotsford's sudden stance against the joint fire department, he sees no point in commenting until the joint councils have a go at the whole question. •«« /faxes could take slight dip, according to finance chairman As an active member ol Zone 7 Volunteer Fire Dept., Dave and wile Debbie attended the Hall's New Year'.s Party but come 11:40 P.M.

This time council lost because they failed to act soon enough in putting their 90-day moratorium on issuing farm building permits to work for them. In November Cedarhill forms at Rezoning to restrict intensive farms MATSQUI - A bylaw that will effectively restrict establishment and expansion of intensive farm operations in Matsqui municipality Is being drafted for preliminary readings at the municipal council meeting next Monday evening. The bylaw which will in effect rezonc all farm properties in the future development areas to RS-5 giving them a minimum subdivision of five acres is aimed at eliminating intensive farm operations from future residential areas. "It's impossible to build an intensive operation on five acres," explained Matsqui mayor Harry Dejong. "You can't build a large hog or chicken barn on five acres because of the set back regulations." DeJong also stated that he thinks people should be protected from intensive farm operations. While the proposed bylaw is a step in that direction, he says that the municipality will have to broaden their scope to also include green belts in their planning. A date for a public hearing on the proposed bylaw will be set later. Mt. Lehman and Old Yale Roads under the ownership of Peter Redekop applied for a building permit to expand their poultry operation. Matsqui council took no action on the application within thirty days of its filing, but at Monday morning's special council meeting they intended to take action to withhold the permit for a further 60 days. Within the next 60 days council hopes to have rezoning completed that would in effect prevent the expansion .of any intensive farm operations in the area Cedarhill farms is located. Redekop and his representative, lawyer Tony McEwen were in attendance at the council meeting. Redekop reminded council that when he purchased his property two years ago he was told that the zoning was A-1 which allows for intensive farm operations. In 1977 Redekop was granted a building permit for his first chicken barn. Now council is trying to curb expansion of his business. 1 "Tjiat's unfair," said Redekop. "there's a mistake already. Why was the first barn allowed?" McEwen pointed out to council under the municipal act that since they had not acted on Redckop's application for a building permit within thirty days after he had filed for it, they could not impose the additional sixty days of withholding the permit. After consulting the municipal act, clerk Brian Strong told council that council could extend the additional sixty days within the thirty day period. "Then it appears we arc too late," Mayor Harry DeJong told continued on page 2 from changes in assessments, aid from the Ministry of education in Victoria, and a new piece of provincial legislation, yet to be proclaimed.' The school district budget, originally forecast to increase 3Vi percent this year, may grow as much as S percent as a result of teacher salary increases. Wage negotiations between the school district and the Langley Teachers' Association were deadlocked when the deadline arrived for an agreement in 1978. An arbitration board must now step in and decide what kind of pay hike local teachers will get. The school board proposed an increase of 4 percent, while the teachers demanded an Increase of 11.5 percent. Recent arbitration decisions have resulted in increases of 7 to 8 percent, roughly equal to the annual rise in the consumer price index. Teacher salaries.form.fjIJUPWCnl of the school district budget, so the wage agreement will have a major impact on its growth. "We're going to force the arbitrator not to put more of a burden on the taxpayers," says Maluorno. Even if the budget docs go up by 5 percent, this will be more than offset by changing assessments, the value of land in the school district that taxes arc levied on, Preliminary figures show the school board's assessment rising by 12 percent in Langley city, and by almost 10 percent in Langley township. If the trend continues, taxes could even go down. NIKKEI BUSINESS FACES ClOSilRE Do local governments, industrialists work together? ALDERGROVE • Anothef local business may be forced to close because of municipal zoning by-laws. • Jim Nikkei welding at 27967 Fraser Highway has been refused a business license by Matsqui munlclpaltiy and told to shut down, but there may still be hopes for the Nikkei business. Nikkei who has owned and lived on his property since mid-1965 brought all his welding equipment when he moved there and has worked with it all along, but he did not start welding there full time until two years ago. That's when the municipality became Involved. "They have two complaints," said Nikkei. "My signs are too big and the zoning is not right. But I think I should have the right to work on my own property." He also indicated that he has some questions about his business being classified industrial. Nikkei has been told different things about the zoning of the six acre parcel he owns. It is zoned one-acre residential and he has been approached by developers to sell, but he has also been told that the frontage may go commercial and that the back may eventually be zoned Industrial. "The municipal theory seems to be to supply tenants for the established industrial parks," he says. "They encourage people to go Into business but it is fragile starting, it's a big bite to go into a place with such a high overhead. You need an established product to go into a place like that. Most ventures have to start modest.". At this point in the development of his business he can't see moving into a high-cost Industrial park location and he will be making application to the municipality for rezoning of the section that his work shop stands on but he is not sure what the municipal reaction will be. ^St^M in n« win"' Vi '' " ' " '••""' ^-' The provincial government will play a major role in determining how much of the education bill the local taxpayer must pay. The share of costs covered through property taxation was increased again this year, to 41 percent. This means the mill rate will increase by 2 mills. Fortunately for ratepayers, the government is also expected to take responsibility for funding community colleges from local school districts. If It does, the mill rate will drop a corresponding two mills, leaving taxpayers in Langley paying approximately as much ' as they did in 1978. Special grants from the ministry of education enabled the school board to cut an additional l'/i mills from the local levy last year. Maluorno is hoping for similar funding this year because the ministry rewards frugal school district:; for,holding the line on education costs. Langley had one of the smallest percentage increases in its budget in British Columbia. "If the (provincial) government keep their word, we'll cut taxes this year," says Maluorno. "It's all up to the ministry of education now." Final decisions on the mill rate, community colleges, and special grants won't be made for at least two months. In the mean time, with the local budget submitted to Victoria, Maluorno can only wait. "I'm not passing the buck," he says. "It's up to the government." Kristina Ekberg celebrates hundredth By SYLVIA LANGMAN Kristina Ekberg (nee Gorans- son) celebrated her one hundredth birthday New Year's Day at Cedar Hills in Langley, in the company of many friends and family. Kristina was born In Sweden on Dcccmb»r 31, 1878, and was one of eight children. Her mother died when Kristina was only eight. Since her youth Kristina has been a firm Christian, and despite the fact that it was in disfavor in the country at that time with the state church, chose to express her faith with ah evangelical offshoot of the prot- estant religion. Associate members would meet covertly in each other's homes to avoid the disdain and humiliation of others. She credits her four brothers for . saving her from beatings by overly zealous members of the conventional church. When asked if she still prays, she answered, "Not any more. I just talk with God these days." Kristina came to live in the USA in 1897. Her relatives were dubious of a long life for her as she was often very sick but Kristina kept herself well, and married Erik Ekberg In 1918. She only had one child, Slgne, as her health would not permit her to have more. However, het daughter, Signe, To celebrate her 100th birth- day, Kristin. Ekberg 1. assisted ^ ^^TItaUa " n,,Me ,ura to **' S Matsqui and Abbotsford are also having other differences of opinion, among them the location of the new Abbotsford-Mission highway. MLA Harry Schroeder may be able to help them come to some agreement by arranging a meeting of the two councils with provincial highways planning director Bert Wilkins. *«* Development along Fraser Highway apparently Is a problem not only to councils but also to aspiring businesses. "Without stringent zoning and the accompanying maze of bylaws, Fraser Highway would soon become another Kingsway," they say. (They seem to think that everyone thinks as- they do that Fraser Highway being developed with business Is bad and unacceptable.) "Traffic congestion would become impossible," they say. "A new arterial route would have to be built," they say. "That would cost the taxpayers more money," they say. (The last argument is that all-time best clincher for any side when they are against something). The "they" involved in this thinking seems to include every bureaucrat from provincial offices and regional development boards and local councils. The argument is advanced in a way to preclude the possibility of alternative solutions and to include the idea that no one wants Fraser Highway development. Small businesses today can easily lose out in their efforts to become established because they cannot afford operating in established industrial or commercial areas, whereas if allowed to develop in'a small way on their own or less costly properties they could grow Into added attractions for the area and then with the size of an established business they could afford to move into the costlier areas. Fraser highway has sections ideal for the establishment of small businesses. With a system of frontage roads along the highway businesses could be allowed to develop, access driveways could be minimized, Fraser Highway would still be an arterial highway, and the cost to the taxpayer would not be so great as building another highway. (Ah! There's the clinching argument!) As it Is, there arc already congested areas with turning vehicles impeding the flow of traffic. Land zoned agricultural is not fit for agricultural purposes because of surfacing done on some areas back in the good old days when free enterprise was allowed to develop in a democratic sense. Existing road allowances utilized for frontage could channel traffic more efficiently and at the same time allow for more commercial development. I wonder when someone will think of this idea? *** If Don McTavish and his chamber of commerce committee can come up with good ideas, Aldergrove will have some brighter tomorrows to look forward to. They arc looking for a town theme. But as CC president Alan Major says, whatever is done is going to have to be done well. Talk is of possibly doing something some U.S. towns have done and developing the town into a European style attraction. The committee is hearing and investigating ideas. I hope they find something. And maybe solutions arc nearer than they think. What about developing Aldergrove into a fantasy land? Walter Schmur's idea of a children's theatre shaped like a gingerbread house did not get too far with Matsqui council when he suggested It as an alternative to their civic centre idea. He might not object to moving it a little further west and giving Aldergrove an attraction to put it on the map. He envisions a fantasy land being developed along with the theatre •- a fun place where kids from all over will bring their parents. As It Is, the idea that Aldergrove can attract and hold shoppers is a fantasy ■- that is if one is to assess the situation from the current business attitudes. As Major said at the last CC meeting, the idco that Aldergrove would just fade away when that new shopping centre is opened in Langley is a totally abominable attitude. Abominable though it is, It is, alas, an attitude that continues to surface among main street businesses. Making these same businesses part of a fantasy land may be a realistic enough fantasy to give our town the boost it needs. • ■ '"' THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3,1979 save ener What businessman can afford to sit back and relax?

McEwen interjected that there can be no blanket 90-day freeze, that each application had to be acted on individually. He also reminded council that an applicant is entitled to damages for delay in issuance of a permit. "But it is not fair to start waving the law at you now," he said. "We have come to do what is lawful." "Since we did not consider the application during the time we had, I don't see how we can legally deal with it now," DeJong told Redekop. Council voted to return the application to the municipal building department for action. "I'm going to go build my barn," Redekop told The Star after council's decision. "We'll deal with this (Matsqui council's attempt to curb existing intensive farm operations in established farm areas) at the public hearing about their proposed re-zoning by-laws," said McEwen. "Existing operations should be exempt and not become legal non-conforming operations as they are endeavoring to make them."

The matter was to be dealt with at a joint council meeting today, but Abbotsford mayor George Ferguson who is also chairman of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities was called to a meeting in Victoria today regarding UBCM matters. The joint council. meeting is tentatively rescheduled for Friday noon in Matsqui. The joint fire department, formed in 1976, received a set-back two weeks ago when Abbotsford district council did not endorse recommendations made by the joint fire committee calling for the continuance of the joint fire department as it is and the appointment of Ken Pauls as deputy chief. Chairmen of the joint fire committee, Matsqui Aid. Ray Kirkwood expressed surprise when he heard of Abbotsford council's decision. He said there had been no indication of such action by the Abbotsford members during the fire committee meeting when the recommendations were decided for presenta tion to the two councils for approval. Mayor. George Ferguson of Abbotsford was in attendance at the fire committee meeting and had voted for the proposals there, but during the December 18 Abbotsford council meeting he voted against adoption of the recommendations making the vote a 3-3 decision which did not give the needed majority for passage. Ferguson stated that he wanted renegotiation of the fire agreement. Matsqui Mayor Harry DeJong maintains that the plan is quite workable as it is. Under the present arrangements all equipment belongs to the entire department and is purchased under a 70/30 cost sharing agreement. Ferguson foresees a lion's share of the equipment going to Matsqui under the proposed five year capital expenditures and he's not so sure that the arrangement is to Abbotsford's benefit. Indications are that his view is not shared by Abbotsford members of the fire department. Friday's meeting should determine whether the Matsqui- Abbotsford fire department continues or crumbles. 7.B 7.9 5.5 15.0 Normals-Max. 5.2 deg,, Min. -1.4 deg., Prec. 123 mm (15 days) The year ended with one ol Ihe severest cold spells since Ihe wary cold winter ol 1968-1969.

Many questions have come up in respect to the application made by the Taylors to the municipality and at one time they were told that road could be dedicated at a cost of $47,000 to them and their neighbors. The Taylors argued that the road had at one time been gazetted by the municipality and that because of this the municipality should bear the cost of dedication, i In a letter received by the municipality from their solicitors, Thompson and McConnell, council was informed that they should indicate to the Willet road residents that it will be the residents responsibility to have the plan of dedication prepared and consented to by all parties. Once the plan is deposited in the land registry office the munici- pali.y should then assume maintenance ot" tne existing roadway on a minimal basis. Kay Armstrong steps down after six years as a school trustee next week with a host of accomplishments under her belt; all associated somehow with the back to basics movement that originated with her, they will make an impact for years to come. Tighter discipline, standardized testing, emphasis on core subjects such as English composition, and an emerging esprit de corps in the public school system are only a few innovations the school district owes, in part, to the hard working Murrayville housewife. It's sad that the school board had to pull one of its most classic boners under her direction three weeks before her retirement. The secondary education committee she chaired managed to persuade the rest of the school board before .Christmas that Langley's system of junior and senior secondary schools is not working, and as a, result, the trustees voted, in principle, to rearrange the system. Eventually every secondary school will be changed to accomodate grades 8-12, and school populations will be Increased until each small neighborhood institution has upwards of 1,000 inhabitants. It's a sad legacy to Impart on a community whose future lies in education. The battle of big versus small has been waged throughout the provincial school system with the cause of big always championed by legions of principals and senior administrators. Principals get more and more money as the size of their school increases; their common nighttime fantasy is to find themselves marooned on an island with 10,000 children and no other adult, save for a few taxpayers, in sight. The school board meeting was promised a report by the committee of principals who came up with the idea of building bigger schools. Instead they received a two sentence apologia from the committee chairman, Graham Leask, followed by a statement from another principal that changing the system was indeed a good idea. Undaunted by this dazzling display of administrative incompetence, or unadulterated sloth, depending on one's point of view, the trustees immediately gave approval. Leask's school, D.W. Poppy junior secondary is, incidentally, planned to be the first school changed to junior-senior secondary status, and expanded to hold another 400 students. The question at stake is truly big versus small, and the trustees obviously had no time to consider the ramifications of their decision when they decided to make the change in December. Only David Bell opposed the measure, and he wants schools changed so that junior secondary begins at grade 7, end at grade 10, and senior secondary begins at grade 10, and ends at grade 12. Such a practical idea will never sell with his colleagues. The administrative committee', had it bothered to prepare a report would have justified huge multjgrade schools on the On hearing the contents of the letter during Monday's council meeting Taylor protested that since the municipality had already given away the original gazetting of the road, that it was not fair that the residents should now be expected to put out nearly $50,000 to pay for an already existing road. Not so, countered council members. The original figure included upgrading costs. All that was being asked now was that the residents assume surveying and dedication costs. Mayor Harry DeJong explained that the municipality would then not make any plans for upgrading the road, but that it would be maintained in its original condition. Council voted that copies of the letter be sent to all concerned parties along with a covering letter from te municipality. Taylor accepted their decision but noted that he had been waiting for six months already to find out what to do because of "the blundering of municipal staff." grounds of economics. By sending a child to school in his neighborhood for five years, you eliminate the need for busing. By building one massive school instead of two manageable schools, more capital expense money is saved. By hiring unqualified individuals to teach a variety of courses at a number of different grade levels, you eliminate the need for expensive, well trained teachers. Another facet of the school board's decision is the creation of a quasi-vocational institute at Langley senior secondary. Academic subjects will merely augment a steady program of metal work, automotive shop, and cooking courses when the changes take place, because LSS is the only school in Langley with proper vocational facilities. The entire program is a colossal goof from start to finish. Educational administrators, while happy to assume responsibility for a school population of 1,000 or more, can never keep a handle on it. Discipline problems such as fighting and drug abuse run rampapt. Absenteeism takes on the dimensions of a religion with numerous adherents. Real education suffers, and the experience of attending such a school is dehumanizing. At the senior secondary level, where the minimum age of the students is 16, there is less of a problem. Students are beginning to mature, and they are almost at the end of their stint in the public education system. A scholarly air pervades the senior secondary institution, and It puts a damper on the anarchy that large numbers bring. Mix in large quantities of students whose ages vary from 12 to 16, and you have a recipe for disaster. Bringing discipline to a huge institution of this description represents a para-military operation. The classic example is the hall pass, a document that entitles a student to walk in the school hallway unmolested.

Schools at Topham, Will- Popular fiction of the 1960's centred on the hapless individual who was caught in the hall without such a pass, and then was sent to the office to obtain one. When he got to the office, he was asked for his hall pass...the ensuing rancor verges on the tragic. Economics dictate that the big building beats the small building even if the quality of education is so devalued as to destroy its relevance. The school board should consider the concept of shifts if dollar values are more important than results. During the period of rapid growth in the early seventies that came before the economic recession, almost every secondary school in Langley was on shift. One school would begin at 7:00 in the morning and end at 12:15 in the afternoon. A second would begin at 12:30 p.m. and continue, well past traditional closing time. Obviously, there was no time for after-school clubs, for athletic programs, or extra curricular activities, but the efficiency was there. 1,200 students, organized into two manageable units, administered by two separate staffs. The system had its drawbacks, but strangely, when the shifts came off, the morning students voted to continue getting up early each day and quitting at lunch time. They liked the way it gave them more free time. In truth, neither funny schedules or huge white-elephant schools belong in a system where education is the primary function. Spreading teaching staff through a five-grade program ensures only a watered-down product, while forcing an individual to receive his entire education at an enormous neighborhood school ensures his unpreparedness for college or university. Mrs. Armstrong's parting shot is a bomb, and the sooner her successors find that out and change it, the better it will be for the local school system, oughby, West Langley, Uplands, Patricia, Sperling and South Otter will also be visited in January and South Carvolth and Simonds schools on February 1 and 2.

Certainly they shore many of the same problems - including communications. Civil servants suffer from a horrible disadvantage when they must communicate with the rest of the world. The disadvantage arises because the civil servants do not speak English. Instead, they spew out a dialect, best described as "bureaucratese", which is all but incomprehensible to the uninitiated. The basic distinction between the two languages lies in the number and length of the words; English uses roughly one-third as many phrases (all of them involving fewer letters) as bureaucratese to make the same point. Linguists recognize that complexity in language is a sign of primilivcncss. That is, the most advanced languages arc the least complex. On that basis, bureaucratese belongs somewhere a- round the Stone Age. Bureaucratese, no matter how backward, does serve one very useful function: it obscures the fact that the user does not possess the faintest idea of what he is trying to say. Since bureaucrats often find themselves in the unenviable position of attempting to justify policies, formulated by superiors, which they find utterly incomprehensible, the value of bureaucratese is obvious. Unfortunately, however, the dialect surfaces - undoubtedly through force of habit - even when the speaker docs have a clear grasp of the subject. Consequently, the public almost never has the faintest idea of what government means. The American ■ department of energy recently ran head-on into a burcaucratesc-created fiasco. Having mailed a civil service- designed questionnaire to the nation's retail gasoline stations last spring, the energy department was aghast to find that fewer than 50% of the forms were completed and returned, Worse yet. the recipients of those forms were so annoyed about the complexity and fuzzy wording that they barraged Washington with complaints. In the depths of their despair, the energy officials were struck by genius. They decided to turn the job of re-writing the questionnaire over to a junior high school class. The students possessed a gift for recognizing the obvious. In place of a complex set of instructions for calculating the average monthly gas price, the students instructed the station managers to simply write down the price shown on the pump. The revised questionnaire went out this fall. The response has exceeded 80%. And everyone is happy. Now think of how pleased we all would be if our own government fired all the lawyers that currently draft our incomprehensible regulations and replaced them with high school students. Remember: complexity of expression is the mark of a primitive mind. 1984 is drawing ever closer A circular from the Fraser Valley Milk Producers Association has come down h_rd on dairymen who sell raw milk to neighbors and friends. One can hardly blame the association for doing what it thinks is best for its members, but the grim threat of prosecution and health perils made the message somewhat over-dramatic. The day may not be far off when dairy farmers will not be allowed to consume their own dairy products themselves without an inspection and certifcation by some government expert. The year of 1979 is just around the corner. And just a little further around the corner is 1984, that famous date immortalized by novelist George Orwell. -Agassiz Advance By BIU, SMILEY ' Why can't the big brutal world out there leave us little guys alone to get on with the difficult enough business of living: putting on the storm windows, changing into the snow tires, digging out last winter's rubber boots with the hole in? Not a chance. It's always shoving a ham-fisted hand into the delicate machinery of our daily lives. Today I received a summons to appear in court in the city to answer a charge of illegal parking, with all the "to wits" and "whereases" and threats that accompany such blackmail. And that's what it is-blackmail. 1 haven't been in the city for four months, I don't even own a car in my own name, and I certainly was not hanging around disreputable Parliament St. on that ocasion or any other, with or without a car. Oh, but I have a choice. If I don't want to travel to the city at considerable expense to plead innocent, or have a lawyer represent me at considerably more expense, I can just plead guilty by mail and send along $7.80. But dammit, I'm Innocent. So what do I do? Lose a day's pay, spend the money to get there and back, just to prove to some dummy traffic court that I'm as pure as ihe driven snow? Or take the chicken way out, and pay the rap? That's blocljjnall, brother. A month ago, in came a bill from National Revenue, stating that I owed them several hundreds of dollars, plus interest. No explanation, just the bald statement, accompanied by the usual dire warnings of the consequences, if I don't ante up. More blackmail. I don't mind paying my bills. Well, I mind, but I pay them. But these mindless, inhuman, computerized attempts to make me feel like a criminal merely succeed in making me sick. Down in Ottawa the waffling and weaving and ducking and bobbing go on, ministers fall like autumn leaves, and nobody lets the left side of his mouth know what the right side is saying. Trudeau, after losing a dozen able ministers in the last half- To eliminate discrimination? '« MA^UK^tTtAHANP-OFFv By PATRICK MICHEL Under the guise of attempting to prevent unfair discrimination, the provincial government is making an obvious play for the youth vote. The provincial government has apparently challenged the Insurance Corporation of B.C. to investigate an automobile insurance scheme which will eliminate rate differences between various age, sex and marital classes. Ostensibly, the reason for this is to eliminate discrimination, particularly against young single Throwing the dollar .. _ ~ . If Il-J __.__..____*__. J«.!■_.- _>H_M.lt ■••/l--^ (1 By ART BUCHWALD WASHINGTON - The president pushed a button and Gerry Rafshoon immediately showed up in the Oval office. "Gerry," the president asked, "What arc you going to do today to improve my image?" Rafshoon was stumped. It was the first day since he took on the job as President Carter's image- maker that he hadn't come up with an idea. "Maybe we could fly over New York state in a helicopter and see the snow damage," Rafshoon said. "Was there much snow damage in New York?" "No," Rafshoon said, "but that would be good for your image. I can sec the headline now: 'President Inspects Lack of Snow Damogc in New York State. Says His Anti-Snow Policy is Paying Off." "1 think you're reaching, Gerry. Isn't there anything I could do to dramatize my fight against inflation?" Rafshoon looked out the window.Suddenly he said. "I think I have it. Why don't yotr throw a silver dollar across the Potomac to show how much faith you have in our monetary system? The last one who did it was George Washington." The president thought about it a moment. "Can you'really throw a dollar acros the' Potomac? 1 thought the Washington silver dollar legend was discredited by Jack Anderson in one of his columns." "Anderson printed the story based on the fact that his source used a paper dollar. Obviously you can't throw a paper dollar over the Potomac." But," the president said, "if you made a dollar into a paper airplane, and the wind was blowing right, you could sail it across the Potomac. I learned that at Annapolis." "It's too risky, Mr. President. If you sailed a paper dollar across the Potomac as an airplane, and it nose-dived into the water, the dollar would sink on every money market in the world. I think we should stay with a silver dollar." President 'Carter said. "Thefe'sXohe thing wrong with your plan, Geny, The silver dollar is out of circulation - the new dollars are much smaller, and if I'm going to throw one I will need all the weight I can get." "We could have the treasury make a special silver dollar with tiny jets in it which could give it enough lift to get to the other side." "That would be cheating Gerry, and I promised the people I would never lie to them. We have to have someone else try to throw it over secretly to see if it can actually be done. I don't' want to go out there on the banks of the river with all the press covering me and fail to do it." "Good thinking, Mr. President. We could get someone from the Washington Redskins to try it out first. The question is should it be Joe Theismann or Billy Kilmer? "They both could be sacked,"i the president said. "Can't we find someone in the government?" "What about Mike Blumen- thal? He's secretary of the treasury. If the press finds out about it he could always say he was testing the new American silver dollar to see if it would fly." "All right. Get back to mc and let me know if it's possible." Rafshoon returned a few days later, shaken. "Blumcntal threw a silver dollar with all his might and it only went halfway across the Potomac." "How did he explain it?" "He showed me the labor statistics for November. It seems the dollar will only go half as far as it did 10 years ago." males. This group has more accidents than any other population cohort. Obviously there are two options. Either tax the whole group, as is the current situation, or begin everyone at the lowest rate and heavily penalize people after they have accidents. The whole concept of being fair has a definite phoney ring to it. In the past, there has been very little attention paid to "fairness" in the rates. Take, for example, the person buying a second car after years of safe driving. The driver loses his safe driving discount on the new automobile. How is that fair? Surely that is even more discriminatory. It is only after the car has been used docs it acquire a safe record. This obviously is not an insoluble logistics problem; it is simply another way that 1CBC can wring a bit more money out of the captive consumer. . People in areas where cars don't last long are obviously discriminated against because climate forces them to buy more cars. The more cars they have to buy over twenty years, the fewer safe driver discounts they are' entitled to (providing they change licence plates). How is that not discriminatory? The real truth of the matter is that the provincial government has realized just how many young people there are, and in the interests of staying in power arc trying to implement policy that is "populist" and irrational under the guise of countering unfair discrimination. If young males under twenty- five have twice the number of accidents as young females of the same age category, then the males should pay for their share. That is discrimination but it is not unfair. -Dawson Creek News dozen years', totters alon^ with-ia turncoat Tory, Jack Horner, insensitive arrogancies like Otto Lang and political retreads lite Bryce Mackasey,, who, as I recall "solved" the last postal strike tn only six weeks.

And as if the general state of affairs weren't enough to give me a big pain in the arm, there's the local. My wife, after lugging her smashing new expensive white coat for about 10,000 miles this' summer, in and out of 20 hotels, on and off countless buses and boats, trains and planes, has lost the blasted thing in her own home town. My daughter, with three degrees, is working as a file clerk, an honorable vocation but scarcely one to make the creative impulses throb. My son-in-law is looking for a job, a rather harrowing business these days. And my grandboys are out of all those fine new clothes we bought them last spring. The only thing they're not out of is energy and fiendish ability to dismantle things that electrical engineers would be afraid to touch. 1 have a brand-new. set of golf clubs with which I can hit the ball 12 feet.

I've got enough money to pay that $7.80 blackmail for a non-parking ticket. I can fight the Feds on that mysterious assessment. I can live without the post office, though- they sure know how to hurt a syndicated columnist, dependent on the mail, And just maybe, when the dollar has hit 75 cents, unemployment has hit 10 percent and inflation settles in two figures, we will get sore enough, to kick those' tired flacks out of Ottawa. My wife will find her coat. I found my pants last year, after they'd been missing four months. They were 120 miles away in the hall closet of my father-in-law. And there was a twenty dollar bill in the pocket. My daughter will get a job, probably as head of the CBC. My son-in-law will get a job, probably as his wife's copy and coffee boy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR None are so blind as he who will not see Editor, The Star, Sir, "None are so blind as he who will not sec" is indeed so true. For evolution to prove God's existence is unbelievable! Evolutionists will agree that millions of years arc required to have passed for nur present stage of development to have occurred. Yet, most reliable methods of dating show that the earth is 12,000 years old at the maximum and it is more likely to be around 7,000 years old. There arc several other areas which will bear out the 7,000 years for our earth. Therefore, I must disagree with the letter printed in the December 13, 1978 issue of your paper. Evolution of a baby into adulthood is one thing. Evolution of cosmic dust into the present situation is obvious nonsense to any intelligent mind interested in looking at the facts.

Thanks... and remember the year of the child Editor, The Star, Sir, appreciation for the fine job your I would just like to express my reporter did on my presentation Food not so expensive Editor, The Star, Sir, I am sending you a letter addressed to the food commission; a matter so many people arc concerned with: Coming back from a trip I find your so well designed invitation to participate in the people's food commission. 1 think it is terrible important that people talk to each other and understand the interdependence of the different food industries and how much their personal well being depends on the fair return to others. It is not at all tragic when eggs go up a cent or two (or other farm produce prices increase). The important thing is that there is a fair return and a permanence to all in the food industry. Regrettable is that be it producer, dealers or processors all operate under the principle to grab as much as possible. Seems to mc that a good measure would be how much of your income goes into food. I find in many countries that a much greater share of the people's income is needed to buy food than In Canada. Interesting I find that our postage today is still very cheap. In most countries luxuries arc much higher priced than in Canada. I discover that people living in $100,000 homes scream about high price of lettuce or some other food items (a tiny item in their living expenses) while the yard is filled with cars, four wheel drives, motorboals. trailers and a great arrangement of expensive motorized toys. Somehow we have lost some sense of proportion or is it contact with our fellow man? It is always the other getting too much for his work. The worker on the modern assembly line doing eight hours of cutting up fish or beef or chicken or for that matter any other speedup, monotonous and repetitious job is doing a job few people arc willing to do and should be well paid. Personally I don't think anyone should spend a lifetime on this kind of u job, unless it is a free choice. Ebc Koeppcn Langley to Matsqui Council, Monday, December 18. 1 found the article extremely complete, and am particularly impressed with the fact that she got the "spirit" of my concept; in short, I feci that she sees almost exactly what I am trying to accomplish. Finally, may 1 suggest that it is this type of journalism that will help - ultimately - in the flowering of any idea that will benefit the community as a whole. Keep up the good work! And best wishes in every way for 1979, the "International Year of the Child". Walter Schmur Clearbrook Thanks for the help Editor, The Star, Sir, On behalf of fellow tenants at Alderhaven 1 wish to extend sincere thanks and appreciation to Bill McGregor, our genial caretaker and friends who helped him with Christmas dinner on December 18. Also to honor Mrs. Mabel Wooley, the occasion being her 80th birthday. She received from Bill, Dave and Terry a beautiful bouquet of carnations and holly, as well as a pretty birthday cake and many good wishes, also a single pink rose bud corsage from myself. I had the honor to sit with Mrs. Wooley and our little sweetheart of Alderhaven, Mrs, Smee. The tables were very pretty for this festive occasion and indeed the lounge was beautifully decorated with Christmas tree, holly, huge red and white bells and garlands. Now it was time to serve up the feast, Bill's friends were kept busy serving up hot plates of food. They were Dave Clarke of B.C.H.C, Terry Turner of Eaton's, secretary Joan Kinney of B.C.H.M.C, housing manager Susan Kondylis, Frank andd Trudy Yarwood of B.C.H.M.C, assistant caretaker Jake Giesbrecht (always on hand to help out), and D. Evans, a visitor, helped with serving, too, so we all enjoyed a hot, -very well prepared dinner. Mr. Ernest Cluett played Christmas carols and some old songs on the electric organ, it was so lovely with the music floating down from the mezzanine floor. What a lovely evening, this was. Where there is a will there Is a way, and Bill found the way to make us all happy. I wish everyone a very bright and happy 1979. Irene Orwick For unto everyone that hath shall be given Editor, The Star, Sir F.W. Bond outline just what people living on small lots will be up against this year, a tax increase of about $29.71 if our city fathers hold the line on the mill rate, "but that is too much to expect." 1 have done some looking around, and have found some surprising facts, our assessment arc to be based on actual values, assessments only increased on land but only the smallest parcels arc of the high value. There arc acres of land zoned rcsd. and commercial assessed the value - my own is assessed at $3.06 a sq.ft. "Take heed therefore how. ye ■ hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemcth to have." St. Luke 8.18. They will tell us that our lots arc serviced but don't be fooled, many of those country estates arc getting the same free services and more, we paid for the street, the water and sewer in the price of the lot and are now being assessed same as land value. Then we pay yearly water frontage, sewer frontage, and frontage we have not got, street lights which arc out almost as much as un; then try to hide the slip of hand they charge us users rate both on water and sewer. We have once paid, wc have in frontage tax again paid for stainless steel pipe, I wonder when they will be laid, or will they wait a few years and lay in gold pipe? January 20, 1979 is the deadline to file an appeal to the court of revision "in writing". Let us fill the place to the roof, after Jan. 20 they will all tell you there is nothing they can do. I don't hear any of our township fathers speaking up, but there will be substantial increase in local school taxes for 1979,. Municipal boards face the, imposition of an additional 562-million tax burden, as education minister Pat McGeer told boards that the mill rate would be hiked. Coquitlam school board chairman Eunice Parker responded, "The minister of education has intimidated boards to hold the line in their budget and salary negotiations with teachers and sharply criticized boards which tried to Improve educational services." School boards will be forced to absorb this 1.93 mill Increase by cutting their final budgets or passing on another tax Increase to local taxpayers, she said. See you at the court of revision.

She was a small, gnarled and ancient woman who shuffled into town for her meager shopping and. then trudged back i.iip the, hill< She spoke to no one - and no one spoke to her. There wus a suspicion among the children of the town that Mister McGuire had never existed - and that Crazy Jimmy had been sired by a leprechaun under a toadstool in County Athlone. And so 1 laughed at Crazy Jimmy...and my Granddad stroked his big white mustache and told me that those who laughed at the blind and at cripples and at Crazy Jimmy would come back in the Hereafter and share their ••sorrows and their life. ,1: I never laughed at Crazy Jimmy againl And NOW, Virginia, we have cum to the Gay Society!

As Kristina reminisced, her strongest advice was, "Raise your first child right, and the children that follow will be well brought up."' Her sole occupation has been as a housewife, and when asked about clothing styles, she replied that her favorite era was at the turn of the century when the ladies wore long, full skirts with wasp waists and puffed sleeves. As everyone wants to know what a centenarian attributes to their longevity, we report that Kristina feels it is due to a disavowal of pork and coffee. Signe Jenkins feels her mother has a strong heart and lungs because of the long walks to haul water and firewood to her childhood home on the top of a hill. Kristina's most memorable an ecdote is watching how foolish people looked running after the first motorcar in the neighbourhood. When asked if she is lonely, she said, "Am I such poor company that I can't enjoy myself?" "If one is lonely, go .see one lonelier than oneself. If there are no weeds, one will not cultivate the garden." Kristina looked very beautiful for her one hundredth birthday. Her skin was still as smooth as porcelain, and her will and determination were as strong as ever. Congratulatory telegrams were received from the Queen of Canada, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and Premier Bill Bennett. Visiting family included Ernest and Ed Tyrene (Palisade, Minn.), Karin and Gunhild Lindstrom (Ostersund, Sweden), Kurt and Mildred Gustafson (Kitimat), George arid Mai Gustafson, Nina Smith, Mae Johnson, Garnet and Signe Jenkins and their children Sheryl, Bobby, Chrissy, Paul, David and Patric and his son, Phillip.

Jim Ford is minister for two United Churches. Mount Lehman is very much a country church and each Sunday its morning service and Sunday school both begin at 9:30 a.m. Aldergrove United is more of a town church and the service times are 9:45 a.m. for Sunday school and 11:00 a.m. for morning worship. The number of people who go to Mount Lehman church has been steadily rising over the last few years. The Aldergrove congregation is somewhat larger. Lust Sunday the attendance at Mount Lehman exceeded that at Aldergrove, where there were fewer than half the usual number of people. Those who did go to church enjoyed a good service with plenty of singing and fellowship, and a good message. Rev. Ford based his sermon on chapters 13 and 14 of the book of Numbers. In this scripture the Lord commands Moses to send 12 spies into Canaan to gather information about the land and its people. After 40 days the spies returned. All agreed that the land was fertile, but 10 were convinced that the Canaanitcs would defeat them. Only Joshua and Caleb recommended that the Israelites should enterCanaan. "Ifthe Lord is pleased with us." they said, "then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us -• a land flowing with milk and honey." (Numbers 14:8). God had already delivered the children of Israel safely out of Egypt, fed them and guided them to the edge of the promised land, but they doubted his ability to lead them into Canaan. They wanted to stone Joshua and Caleb to death and choose a leader to take them back to captivity in Egypt. At that stage God made himself known to them. Isn't that the situation we find ourselves in as we stand at the threshold of 1979? The new year is full of challenge and there are countless opportunities for Christians to break new ground and find spiritual excitement. We have the same Lord to guide us as the Israelites had, and we can defeat the enemy in his name. Yet we lack faith. We rely on our own strength and we want to return to the status quo of 1978. The bible abounds with promises. Time and again the Lord tells us of the abundant life that we can have now and forever. There is no end to what God will do for us if we love him, trust him and obey him. By accepting the gift of everlasting life from Jesus a person becomes a Christian. The wonder and beauty of that experience defy description, yet there are Live it up on the Bookmobile Is your life dull and drab? Looking for some excitement in the South Seas? How about a best seller or an arts and crafts book? Has your car broken down lately? Has your cat had kittens or arc you thinking of growing earthworms for a profit? How about easy readers for you preschool child or informational books for January 15, 29 your child in school? If you have a problem that needs fixing, an idea that needs to be followed up, or a child to keep busy; then stop off at the bookmobile and let librarians help you find the answers to your questions. Look for the bookmobile in January on the following dates: many Christians who are afraid to go forward in faith, just as those Jews were 3,000 years ago. So many of us are not living the abundant life that is available to us according to the bible. (For example John 10:9-10 and John 14:12-15). The beginning of a new year is perhaps a good time to do a little stocktaking. Sit quietly with a pencil and paper and make an inventory of 1978. Look at your life and determine whether it has been pleasing to God. Remember, God does not give high value to the things of the world, like wealth or success. He asks that we love him and love our neighbor. He wants us to trust him and depend on him. He is less interested in our possessions than in our attitudes. He wants to forgive us, but can only do so when we forgive others. Let us enter 1979 as victorious people of God, regarding the new year as our promised land.

By ERNEST CLUETT ALDERGROVE - The Saturday dance of O.A.P. branch 71 was well attended and everyone had a good time. The door prize was won by Audry Woods and Rita Attacking welfare fraud W To have ...tu rIvi' ii giMMllnely warm '•■'■ svinpiilliy iii mhliiitm inn Wij llli j'i iiiolirtiloiH iillt'iii.tiii in di'i.iili fa •llT-f Iff •••lltit is ti purl of iiiirrrml, '•SW.IB I LANGLEY FUNERAL HOME PHONF. LANGLEY: 530-6488 HENDERSON'S FUNERAL HOMES ABBOTSFORD LTD. PI'ONE: 853-8381 There is a difference between inadvertent waste and deliberate fraud in the administration of public programs. Given the nature of bureaucracy, the most to hope for is that the former is held to a minimum, but there is no excuse for overlooking the latter. To the contrary, public servants, who deliberately make a mockery of their public responsibilities should be made examples for those who follow. A good place to begin this process, as President Carter has indicated, is with the administration of social welfare programs. Estimates of fraud and waste caused by mismanagement in the nation's welfare programs range upward from $5-billion a year. In addition, the president estimates another $3-billion a year is spent on welfare paperwork at the state and local levels. Both figures could be reduced substantially if an all-out effort is made. That the president promised to do in launching his government-wide campaign a- gainst fraud. Ingrained habits within the public service structure will make genuine reform extremely difficult. Making harsh examples of those caught with sticky fingers in the public purse is one way of holding to a minimum cases of deliberate fraud. Seeing to it that management personnel either do the job they are paid to do or are moved out is another. Whatever effort is required, the potential saving of several billion dollars makes a genuine attempt worthwhile. and Dick Lockhart won the spot dance prizes. Out of town visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Bailey of Edmonton and Mr. and Mrs. Robertson from Bellingham. Mrs. Mervyn was given an award of appreciation. As an old and valued member of the branch, she has never missed a Saturday dance and as she considers herself too old to dance, she comes to listen to the music. The New Year's eve party attracted forty members who enjoyed themselves bringing the New Year. The choral group led the sing-a-long and the part games had a good response. A total of ten prizes were awarded the contest winners. Shortly after ten o'clock the two members of the orchestra who were attending were asked to play for dancing which was enjoyed by the enthusiastic crowd till midnight. Many thanks are due the ladies who put on this event, lt was entertaining and also free. . The meeting of the membership will be held on Friday, Jan 5 at 1:30 p.m. All membership cards for the New Year will be available. Membership is $2.00 per year and it is hoped the branch shall pass the 300 membership this year. Think small by Jim Smith The Campus Round-Up They haven't started shooting yet but Canada's universities are caught up in a slam- bang intercollegiate battle nonetheless. And there may be some casualties - the taxpayers' budgets, if nothing else -before the dust settles. These are not the best of times for the schools of higher education. Now that a university degree doesn't guarantee an Interview let alone a job, students are less than eager to lay out Ihe best years of their lives plus thousands of dollars to acquire a worthless piece of paper. (Knowledge for the sake of knowledge is a worthy objective but It doesn't put food on the table.) There's a strong dose of irony in Ihe universities' predicament. After all, the universities produce the civil servants who "plan" our national future. And one of those civil service "plans" brought about Ihe horrendous overexpansion . of facilities with which the schools are now saddled. But Irony, while amusing, doesn't help pay Ihe bills - either the universities' or taxpayers'. Universities receive government grants on the basis of enrolment, a system which encourages schools lo pull out all Ihe stops in their recruitment campaigns. Lately, universities and community colleges have added sophisticated advertising campaigns to their arsenals of recruiting weapons. At this very moment, post- secondary schools from coast to coast are using films, radio and television commercials and magazine ads lo lure students just as Proctor & Gamble uses advertising to attract customers for Ihe firm's soaps. The internecine warfare, fought via the ad agencies, may be good news for broadcasters and publishers, but It's bad news for the taxpayer who winds up paying the shot. And the lactic penalizes those universities that are most conscientious with public funds and use their grants for education rather than promotion. Unfortunately, Ihe funding system guarantees recruiting abuses. And schools which must resort to selling themselves like soap flakes are also prone lo lowering their academic standards lo hang on lo Ihe bodies they have recruited. Academic standards are not part of the government's funding system. The whole system Is unfair. lo the responsible educators and lo Ihe taxpayers. Obviously, a belter method Af funding our universities and colleges - a system which ensures efficiency in enrolment and maintains high academic standards - is needed immediately. Bui, unlil that system can be devised, Ihe provincial governments should order an Immediate hall to university recruiting techniques that involve ad campaigns. With our high level of government deficits, Canadians would be grateful for every cost-cutting efficiency the civil servants can offer.

Everyone is Welcome r*mm^*^^^^~mm^m with openness and candor. There is talk of electing their leaders. The populace apparently wants to liberalize the Communist regime. There are signs that it is being done. One rumour has it that a Roman Catholic priest, a missionary, has been allowed to enter China. Protestant mission agencies are also gearing up for what may the the most dramatic event in Christian missions in a century - China open once again. Churches are growing worldwide. More than 50,000 people become Christians every day. Hundreds of churches are begun every day. And it is in this day of explosive growth that China may be opening its arms once again to Christian missions. It has to be the best news of 1978. And 1979 may be filled with beautiful surprises!

T(iey often end up in prison along with bank-robbers and rapists. Why do they persist in gambling with their jobs, families and even lives? Apparently, the risks do not daunt them. A recent survey by the Boyanowsky team, researchers from Simon Fraser University, amongst Lower Mainland drinkers showed that 90 percent of those proven impaired in the survey drove home from bars and pubs even though they knew they were legally impaired. Dr. Boyanawsky said that while the coin-operated, commercial alcohol meters may be fun to blow into, they don't do much to discourage impaired drivers. According to Paul Whitehead, one of Canada's leading authorities on drinking drivers, there is no evidence that harsh penalties actually deter them. He argues instead for increasing the probability of detection and conviction with the use of road-side testing like B.C.'s mobile breathalizer vans, claiming that the deterrent power of the law depends not on its severity but its probability. Whitehead is also dubious about the effectiveness of the treatment centres where judges will sometimes send impaired drivers in lieu of a stretch in prison. B.C. has such courses in Nanaimo and Salmon Arm and another is scheduled for Prince George. These courses, whose motto is "If you drink, that's your business. If you drink and drive, that's our business," attempt to alter drinkers' driving habits. One of their more dramatic success stories involve a man who sold his house and moved next door to the pub so he could totter home without posing a danger to others. For the drinking driver, the legal hang-over begins when he is charged with any of the impaired driving charges, including impaired driving itself, being impaired while in care and control of a car, driving with a blood-alcohol count of more than .08 and refusing to take a breathalizer test. After charging the driver, the police will usually release him if they arc sure he's not going to drive home. If they think he will try to drive.they'll keep him in custody until he sobers up completely. It may be several months before his case will be heard in court due to the back-log. In the meantime, he'll still be able to drive. The police must provide him with the breathalizer test certificates at least seven days before court day if they plan to .ise them in court. Vancouver lawyer Henderson :;ays that a lawyer in first offence cases is not always necessary. "If they really have the goods on you" he says "plead guilty and save the lawyer's fee which is about 300 to 700 dollars, about the same as the average first offence fine. But first have an interview with a lawyer who will advise you about the dcfcnsibility of your case. This usually costs around 25 dollars." However, in second and third offences which involve jail terms, he stresses the need for a lawyer. "The law on impaired driving is possibly the most complicated in the Criminal Code" he says. "It's probably more difficult to defend yourself on one of these charges than almost any other type of charge." "If you arc a well-spoken, self-confident person and If you really didn't have too much to drink, then I think Dice's a reasonable chance of defending yourself. But most people really have had too much and want to get off on a technicality. Technicalities arc things that should be handled by lawyers." One way for an accused driver to beat an impaired driving rap is to prove that proper procedure wasn't followed. For example, if he wasn't given the opportunity to talk privately with his lawyer and therefore refused to take the breathalizer. Police technicians arc specially trained to operate the breathalizer machines and if they fail to operate them correctly, the evidence can be thrown out of court. For instance, the results of only one blow into the machine instead of the required two would not be acceptable in court. Likewise, if the police fail to wait the mandatory 15 minutes before administering the test, the defence could argue that particles of alcohol still in the driver's mouth had given an erroneous count. If a driver or nls lawyer could prove that the machine was malfunctioning the case would be dismissed. This is a |png shot, however, since the machines, which arc quite simple, arc checked regularly. Another defence might Involve trying to argue that the accused person was not really proven to have been the driver. Or that he had not driven within two hours of the test. One driver even successfully argued that he had vomited prior to the test and, as a result, the particles of regurgitated alcohol clinging to his false teeth had caused an incorrectly high score on the test. The judge must be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt of the guiltiness of the accused and improbable as this defence might seem it did establish a doubt about the reliability of the evidence, against the man. Court-room challenges against the use and accuracy of the. breathalizer machine are vain for the most part, however, If the police have followed the correct procedure. For one thing, all the breathalizer experts in the prov; ince work for the police. Next: Road-side suspensions and other innovations.

But very few really appreciate the dangers (hat can he associated with it. This is the message being carried by John Stockdalc. program coordinator fur Red Cross' Water Safety Service, as he continues his tour about ihe province. "Hundreds of deaths every year in Canada arc attributed to exposure to Ihe cold," says Stockdalc. "The fact that many of them actually could have been avoided is the reason why we, in the Water Safely Service, arc so optimistic about our winter safety education program." Red Cross in British Columbia is concerned wilh providing year- round public education in the area of water related activities. The emphasis, as might be expected in these winter months, is center, ed around cold water survival. Exposure to Ihe cold according to Stockdalc initiates a condition known as hypothermia. Characterized hy a general slow ing down of the body processes, hypothermia is defined as the state brought on when Ihe "inner core" body temperature falls to a level at which the vital organs can no longer function effectively. The thrcal of its advancement can arise in a surprisingly short span of lime, particularly, of course, it Ihe water is especially cold. "Obviously, the colder it is. the more dangerous Ihe situation." Stockdalc says. "Hut it's important lo realize that polar conditions arc not required for a threat lo be present." Stockdalc says any one of us could he called upon one day to assist in ihe rescue of a hypo, thcrmia victim. Mosl important lo remember, if at all possible, is to get (he victim out of the cold.Take advantage of any dry clothes and blankets thai may he available. If Ihe person is not seriously in trouble these, along with warm liquids, should suffice. "But if the condition is more serious." he says, "delivering heat to the victim becomes even more critical. Warm balhs and showers, gradually heated up, can be very effective hut that's not always possible." Towels, warmed up. can be applied to Ihe head, chest and groin, those areas where heat loss is high. Where not even this option is available, direct body heat should be applied to the victim. This, to be effective, should be done skin to skin and under some form of cover. "In this way. not only is the heat directly transferred, but the warmth will be captured and maintained by the covering." Stockdalc is quick to emphasize lhat not all hypothermia accidents occur in the water. A great percentage of them, in fact, happen on dry land. "The Water Safely Service, however, restricts itself from this equally important educational area. Other organizations and government agencies fulfill this particular educating role and we arc very supportive of their elforts." The educational programs of these olhcr organizations arc important to Red Cross for there is an ever-increasing number of winter activities that arc occuring around, but not actually in, (he water. "The individual who sets out to go ice-fishing, for example, has to begin to realize than most hypothermia accidents, occuring on the land, happen in outdoor temperatures of between -1 degree and 10 degrees Celsius (30 degrees to 50 degrees F.l. That's relatively balmy by Canadian winter standards." he reminds. One of the main reasons for these accidents occuring is that most people arc not as safety conscious and aware as (hey think Ihct arc. "How often do we have people wandering around in this weather without a good hat on?" Stockdalc questions. "The fact that an uncovered head can account for up to 60 percent of body heat loss highlights the importance of wearing warm, functional clothing." It also points out lhat some areas of the body deserve special attention when dressing up. "The head, sides of the chest, and groin area arc all characterized as being major routes for inner core heat loss. We should ensure that all these areas are especially well protected."

One can go on doing the same thing for years without asking oneself "why"? It is rather like the choirboy who for years sang "We can sing, full though we be," instead of "Weak and sinful though we be". Ancient beliefs arc being exploded every day in all field of life and this is certainly true in the gardening world. Someone once wrote "Sow the seed three times its diameter", and this has become the seeding law for millions. Yet how Is this possible except with such Items as beans and peas. Nature doesn't cover any of its seed. It just falls to the ground (some on stony ground) and the seed takes its chance. Personally I like the idea of chitting as many seeds as possible. All this consists of is Modern plant breeders are always seeking the production of strains that will resist common disease organisms. Although you may be unable to obtain such plants in the supermarket, the big seed houses give you the opportunity to purchase seeds of disease-resistant plants such as rust-resistant snapdragons, virus-resistant tomatoes and mildew-resistant roses, lt pays to know what you are sowing or planting and to get the best. Also It never pays to keep anything in the garden that looks sickly. You don't want to keep it just because it still shows some sign of life. So ends 1978. Not a bad garden year really although that six week drought early on threw things out of gear. We have a lot to be thankful for In the Fraser Valley.

The exterior combines stucco, wrought iron, roof tile, and panel doors with the sweeping lines of this design to produce a pleasing spanlsh-style home. Shown in the illustration over the bedroom windows arc copper sun shades, which will change in colour to green with age. The living room and bedroom windows arc flanked by shutters to enhance the styling. The double door entry leads to an entrance foyer with stairs leading up to the living level, and down to the family room and utility areas. The wall at the back of the fireplace can be covered with brick or ficldstonc, to produce a unique entrance. The living room just off the entrance has a huge fireplace, with space for logs next to it. lt would be possible at the construction stage to add sliding glass doors at the side leading to the sundeck for more light, and easy access to fresh air. It would even be possible to use opening windows or full length french doors in place of the front windows. The dining room can be closed off from the living room area with double pocket doors. There arc many styles of pocket doors available, so be sure to choose those most suited to the room decor. The kitchen and nook area is well designed to accomodate appliances and to provide a breakfast nook, and lots of counter space for easy meal preparation. The master bedroom has a two piece ensuite and two closets, as info/Health Dr. Bob Young House calls con be interesting well as a large window with a view to the back yard. Bedrooms two and three each share the three-piece bath and have closets and front-facing windows. The bathroom can easily be used by guests because of its location. This functional design is just one of many stock plans that arc available. Plans for design No. P_.-_.-l2b may be obtained at a cost of $78 for a set of three and . 59 for each additional copy.

Seeing a patient at home is undoubtedly an inefficient way of practicing medicine, but sometimes house calls have interesting twists. 1 remember one winter evening when I was able to quickly diagnose and treat a child's infected ear. As I was leaving I mentioned how cold the house was and was Informed that the furnace was not working. An expert on furnaces (having once boarded with an oil-furnace manufacturer), I could not resist the challenge. Two hours later the furnace was going but it took mc a week to get my hands clean again. A colleague spent a half-hour breaking into a house, trying to make a house call. It was late at night, and when he could not rouse anyone he thought his patient was unconscious or had died. The" doctor finally got a basement window open and climbed through. A search of the house failed to reveal his patient, but an envelope on the kitchen table told the worried doctor that he was at 1822 Jones Street instead of 1922, where he was expected. He quickly turned off the lights and crawled out the window again • this time in much less than half an hour. Once I was greeted by a voluptuous young thing in the altogether. "Hi Doc, I'm all ready for you to examine me," she said as she stood in the doorway. I left quickly, shaking my head and repeating the Hlppocrallc Oath over and over, Sometimes solo house calls arc unwise. In earlier years, when I was called to a questionable address 1 would sometimes ask a police officer to come along. A few times 1 was glad I had. Uncooperative drunks and their friends, and drug addicts desperate for the contents of a doctor's bag usually become docile when they sec the men in blue. A husband called mc out at 2:00 a.m. to examine his sick wife. The husband, who had arrived home unexpectedly, was in street clothes. The only diagnostic clues were a pair of men's shoes (not belonging to the husband) and an open bedroom window. The wife did not look sick at all - in fact she looked strangely happy. I think, however, that she got sick pretty fast after I left the houscl A doctor who does not make house calls will have a few blank pages in his book of memories.

Vitamin preparations Health and Welfare Canada has the following tips on choosing and handling vitamin preparations. Ask a pharmacist for advice in matching your vitamin requirements with the vitamin levels in a suitable product. House brands can be as good and are sometimes less expensive than nationally-advertised products. Vitamins.wlicthcrsynlhcsizcd in a laboratory or derived from natural food sources, have comparable biological values. However, synthetic vitamins arc often less costly. Be aware of the expiry date on the label. Since the potency of vitamins decreases over a period of lime, expired products may provide lesser amounts of vitamins than indicated on the label. Liquid preparations are preferable for children under six years of age who may choke on tablets. Always follow label instructions as to recommended dosage as it will vary according to factors such as age, body size, growth, state of health, etc. Vitamins may be stored al room temperature; keep out of direct light or heat to minimize deterioration. Whenever using over-the- counter drugs, remember to always play it safe: -read the label and follow directions carefully; •avoid frequent use of any over- the-counter drug, and sec your doctor if symptoms persist; -keep all medicines safely out of the reach of children. or tissue in an enclosed box in a warm spot. I did this with sweet peas last year and every single one germinated. It is then a simple matter to transplant outside. I see no reason why this should not be done with most vegetable seeds and many of the larger flower seeds. They used to have far more time for gardening in the olden days so we should be continually on the look out for time savers. Among those recommended are Increased use of mulches to eliminate weeding and to conserve moisture, more use of ground covers for the same reason, better attention paid to composting and improvement of soil texture and increased use of dwarf varieties of plants to eliminate staking. Can gardening be such a pleasure if we have to go round with a spray can all the time? 1 don't think so. Not only does it seem unnatural to do this in a garden, it also gets rid of so many of the predators which work for us. Chemical manufacturers make millions out of gardeners and arc continually coming out with new and more effective poisons. You can now buy sprays and powders that will kill anything (and everything). Don't they realize that bugs", become immune to sprays in a short while and new tolerant strains arc created. Why not stay with nature's predators as they did in the beautiful gardens of old. Even the rabbits bred immunity to myxamatosis and locusts to D.D.T. I am a firm believer in survival of the fittest in the plant world and I don't believe sprays do anything to help the cause. Some day we may be able to go to a garden shop and buy ladybugs or centipedes or toads, slow worms and other natural predators of garden pests. I believe there could be a huge demand for them. In China they arc doing this in a big way. Although I have said this before, I will say it again, there arc hundreds of garden plants that arc rarely, if ever, bothered by pests of any kind. Oddly enough, these plants that are native to North America generally suffer most from pests and disease. This Is probably because these plants support our native insects, mites and fungus life. Hot rolls from the oven season. Maybe there are better soils elsewhere but at least that is one thing we can correct. Spring will be here before we know where we are. Make a New Year's resolution to plan thing ahead of time and to have the best garden year you've ever had. Last year's mistakes must all be forgotten. If you didn't make mistakes, you are not a true gardener. May 1 wish you all a happy and productive 1979. The author will endeavor to answer any questions on the subject of outdoor gardening.

Healthy Canadians who cat a variety of foods will obtain all (he vitamins and other nutrients essential for their health and well-being, says Health and Welfare Canada. Such people may be wasting their money by purchasing vitamins unnecessarily. Furthermore, individuals getting sufficient amounts of vitamins A and D from their food . may exceed healthful limits by taking a vitamin preparation and do more harm than good. As with other drugs, vitamin preparations should he used only for special situations and not as routine "pick-me-ups".

Norman, curator of the Langley Centennial Museum and National Exhibition Centre, announced today that the centre will begin operating on a six-day schedule in Januory 1979. The museum/centre which is located at the corner of Mavis and King Streets in Fort Langley, closed Friday, December 22 and will re-open January 10, 1979 at 10 a.m., hopefully with the arrival of the South American Ceramics Exhibit from Edmonton, Alberta. The museum has been operating on a five-day schedule since September 17,1978 due to drastic cuts in the municipal budget which reduced the museum funding by 40 percent. However, with the aid of a well-trained core of volunteers, the municipal administration and the museum curator feel that a six-day schedule will be feasible In the coming year. The museum hours will be: 10 a.m. to S p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays and 2 to 5 p.m. Sundays. The complex will be closed Mondays. AIDER IJVjy HOTEL PRESENT IN OUR LOUNGE THIS WEEK South American pottery exhibit in Fort Langley THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3,1979 13 FYC fine arts exhibit ' FORT LANGLEY - A South American ceramics exhibit consisting of pieces from pre-Columbian to contemporary times, will open January 11 at the Langley Museum and National Exhibition Centre, corner of Mavis and King Street. Some of the pottery in this exhibit was fashioned by the native people of the tropical forests of the Amazon and Orinoco lowlands, but most of it is from the highland regions of Columbia and Ecuador. Since many of the native cultures of South America were radically changed or obliterated as a result of European contact, it is fortunate that some of their work still'survives. The intent of this exhibit, which originates with the provincial museum of Alberta is to provide an opportunity to enjoy the artistic achievements of these South American natives. It is also interesting to compare ,them to the work of Canada's own native cultures. The.exhibit runs to February 14. New operating hours are from 9 to 5 Tuesday through Saturday and 2 to 5 Sunday. The museum's closed Mondays. Admission is free. Arts Club elects new slate ALDERGROVE - The' Aldergrove Art Club finished off the year on Dec. 13 with a successful Christmas party.

Thundcrbird displayed a credible feel for the blues medium, drawing on originals and standards alike, and rocked solidly on their first set. The harp player deserves special mention for his ability on a diatonic harp, cross- blowing and drawing grand rhythms for the band's straight forward style. Cotton was the real pleascr though. His band started out with a couple fo contemporary numbers in a combination of Earth, Wind and Fire/George Benson styles. Then Cotton's harp jumped in and the floor was saturated with happy people, dancing to a variety of blues styles. The show was top quality in musicianship (the guitarist was particularly impressive, exhibiting mastery linked with self control seldom seen in the big rock acts) and in involvement by the audience who just couldn't stop even when the set was finished. • * * Coming Saturday arc the Ram- ones with Vancouver's Pointed Sticks.

British Columbia Government Photo The trail to the Monkman Pass B} I.YN HANCOCK To hike the Monkman Trail is to walk in a wilderness garden of wildflowcrs and waterfalls. Through parklands of pine and spruce, up ridges lo luocring mountains, down into dells of lush fernery, alongside rushing rivers ■• everywhere you tread on carpets of bluebells, scarlet columbines and paintbrush, yellow arnica, while Solomon's Seal. Queen's cup and Ihe ubiquitous bunchherrv. And for a mile and a half on steeply canvoncd Monk- man Creek as many as eight waterfalls cascade tempestuously from ledge to ledge,. Elsewhere the rivers arc riddled with rapids. According to the latest British Columbia road map. the Monk- man hinterland is the emptiest area in Ihe whole province. East of the Hart Highway between Prince George and Dawson Creek ihe map merely shows two names, ihe Murray River and the Rocky Mountains. But do not be perturbed. There are two roads in In nieel Ihe Monkman Trail. The heller known one leaves the hlaeklop al Beaverlodge about 79 miles iijii kilometres) southeast of Dawson Creek and turns onto Ihe Redwillow/Kinuseo Road for a total distance of 176 miles (282 kilometres). Those who regard rain-rutted roads as a welcome challenge may prefer the shorter mule along Ihe British Columbia- Alberta Boundary Road south of Tupper. a total distance of 120 miles (190 kilometres). The road ends at Ihe Murray River campground and the trail begins. Hacked by hand during the summers of 1973 and 1974 by Vern Hopkins and his forestry students, it covers 17 miles (27 kilometres) between the camp- ::inuMil and Monkman Lake, a rewording week or weekend adventure. For the first few miles, the trail winds through a nine and spruce forest, sidles past the fast-flowing Murray River and gives glimpses of glacicrcd mountains. At mile 4, the Forest Service has recently installed a "flying fox" or hand operated pulley system to provicc the hiker with an exciting ride across the Murray River. Packdogs and packs can be roped on to the board and swung over the stream as easily as self-propelled hikers. After Mile 4. the trail climbs steeply upstream along a razorbacked ridge which affords unobstructed views of the river below and the mountains above. Then it continues on an undulating route over the heavily for- esled slopes between the Monk- man Creek and the Murray River to Mile 7. For those who like to pace themselves more leisurely. Mile 7, marked by a sign saying "WATER", provides a good place to camp overnight. Others who wish to press on may fortify themselves wilh'lunch here then continue to switchback the ridges high above the rapids of the Monkman Creek. Incessant rain may make waterfalls al your feel but the waterfalls from afar squeezed between the canyons of the snaking river far below call you closer. Leave the (rail about Mile II and. following the sound of the falls, plunge down the forested slopes by the easiest ridges lo spend a day meandering the many cascades of the Monkman. The waters gush through the gorges ill a myriad different shapes ■• roaring down chutes in long tongues, sprawling on ledges like filmy lace cloths, thrashing over Ihe drop-off like storm- tnsscd oceans. Climb back lo the trail by the stream near Mile 12 and spend the night at the Timbcrline Hiking Club camp.

To cross the stream next day you have two alternatives -- wade across and get wet or walk over a handy log bridge by the camp a few yards upstream from the main trail. For the next three miles (five kilometres) the trail leaves the forest and opens out onto a burn where panoramic views over the Monkman Pass to the south more, than compensate for deadfalls> obstructing the swampy ground al your feet. Monkman Lake with its trout fishing, sunbaking and mountain climbing possibilities is an excellent base for a few days stay.
