legislative library, Parliament} BuUdings Jan GOVERNMENT By RUDY LANGMANN VANCOUVER - Lawyer Bill Ireland has been Instructed to issue a writ against the government of British Columbia on behalf of his client, Gloucester Properties Ltd. director and agent Ainslie Loretto. "We (Gloucester) properly and democratically won our case of appeal with the provincial cabinet's environment and land use committee," Loretto told The Star last night, "and I have just had a long telephone conversation with our lawyer and we decided to go ahead with a legal suit against the government." According to Loretto, her legal advisors, have left no doubt that Gloucester has "an absolute watertight, airtight, case." "As British Columbians we are not little pawns or puppets," she said. "If Premier Bill Bennett doesn't think'-, that the appeal procedure was right; if he doesn't think that the cabinet ministers who decided in our favor list _ July acted honorably and democratically, then he j should fire them. "I am as much offended on behalf of these cabinet members whose judgment has been questioned as I am on behalf of Gloucester." Loretto said the on-again- off-again action taken by the government and its various commissioned bodies in the celebrated case of the 626 Aldergrove acres was clearly an attempt by somebody to "emasculate" ELUC. "If that is what they want to do," she said, "then we no longer have farmland preservation in British Col- Vol.22 No. 51 Illec\itimusnoncarboruridurp Wednesday, December 19, 1979 18 pages Phone 856-8303 or 856-5212 25« pet copy INDUSTRIAL CENTRE Mayor Oil carpet |ft 0n*gain-of f-again By ANNE BERTING MURRAYVILLE ■ Mayor George Preston was again put on the spot Monday when questioned about his appointment of new auditors for 1980 without specifically notifying t council of the change. The names of Langley chartered accountants Piskorik, Baker and Zacher as auditors were listed among ISO committees and other appointments made by the mayor at his inaugural meeting, December 3.

Last Thursday a cabinet . order In council dated October 25 reached Murrayville. "On the recommendation of the undersigned, the lieutenant-governor, by and with the advice and consent, etc., Salmon River suddenly became hundreds of feet wide. Flood damages stores Peggy Burnstad wades through the Hood. ALDERGROVE - Streams and creeks in the area grew to veritable rivers as the rain kept on coming out of the skies, and Monday morning one of the worst floods ever seen in Aldergrove inundated highways and byways when the water later receded left much damage behind. The peak came Monday morning at about 8 o'clock when the Bertrand and the Salmon swelled to unusual size. Water came roaring across the Fraser Highway in the west end of town wreaking destruction to buildings and businesses close to the Old Yale Road. Hardest hit was the County Line Antiques, but also Jack Horner's Kitchen Korner and the Aldergrove Building Centre were flooded. At the ABC the owners simply turned the keys in the doors and went home. They are presently liquidating all stock and what's left in the • store was up on walls and shelves. At the other businesses, however, owners were busy sandbagging, pumping, shovelling, and trying to rescue threatened stock, as the nearby and normally very peaceful Bertrand Creek grew to a menacing steam more than 100 feet across In places, Peggy Burnstad of County Line Antiques showed The Star how half of the store's S200.000 stock, antique beds, dressers, tables and other furniture, was standing in water 10 to 12 inches deep. An attempt to diversify the flood around the building had failed as the water rose too fast. Frantic calls to the municipality's public works department had not brought any response out of Murrayville, Burnstad said, and the owners had to rush out and obtain their own canvas bags, order a dumptruck load of sand, and commence shovelling. Burnstad expressed disappointment with this apparent lack of interest, but works crews were busy during the day trying to cope with the watery situation in other locales of the municipality. Across the street, at Jack Horner's, employees were meanwhile scrambling to load newly manufactured kitchen cabinets into tractor trailer units hastily called in. Others were sandbagging, shovelling water. As the water roared through and under the buildings, Burnstad spoke with concern about the damage. "Our Insurance doesn't cover this", she said. "They told us there Is no coverage for flood within Aldergrove and Langley," I the yard" stacks of lumber floated around, inside the building you could see whirlpools of water coming up from under the floor, Other areas of town seemed to fare better.

"A padlock law, a law that went out with the 16th century,'! a lawyer commented upon reading of the council order. Then came a resolution from the B.C. Agricultural Land Commission, ordering- the registrar of land titles in New Westminster to remove a total of 642.51 acres from the agricultural land reserve plan of the Central Frasor- Valley regional district. This order, .j*u«h^rl^/»«,;lwr?,;H!9 signature of land commission chairman Axel Kinncar. The land was now no longer part of the agricultural freeze but still for all Intents and purposes frozen by tile premier's order in council. Two days later a letter from the land commission was special delivered to Ainslie Loretto, a director of Gloucester. "This letter is to advise that the (commission) is proceeding with an application to the lieutenant-governor in council under section 8(12) of the agricultural land commission act to approve the lands described on the attached list (same 642.51 acres) for addition to the designated land reserve plan of the Central Fraser Valley regional district. "A public hearing as required by the act and regulations will be scheduled in early February of 1980. Further details regarding the exact date, time and location of the said hearing will be provided as soon as arrangements are finalized." As a footnote the letter points out that cabinet's order in council bf October 25 "prohibits the development of the said land." Acriculture minister Jim Hewitt, who is also responsible for the agricultural land commission since the recent cabinet shuffle, stated yesterday that the commission had not done a thorough study on the Gloucester proposal in the past but would conduct one between now and February. At the public hearing in February, Hewitt said, he would be looking forward to presentations both pro and con, but in the end, he added, the final decision as to the Fraser Industrial Centre's future would rest with the cabinet. The project has fought its way through local, regional and provincial bureaucracies for the past four years creating a cause cclcbrc as politicians, faceless officials spd commissioners, and plain, ordinary people have battled furiously and sometimes viciously either to have the land approved for Industrial use or have It retain Its nominal classification as "farm land". The project has alternately been approved, turned down, approved, and once again rejected. Will February 1980 be the endf Stay tuned. umbia, we have total land control, total dictatorship." Loretto said she had no intentions to play along with the government games anymore. She would not wait for the February hearing. "Now it is a principle," she said. "I believe as much as anybody in farmland preservation but if we have land control and no longer farmland preservation, then we have communism, and in that case people should know about that." Ireland is preparing a writ, Gloucester vs. Regina. Town Talk By FRANK LANGMANN and RICK McILWAIN This week's question: What are your feelings on the Federal Budget as presented last week and the fact that the Clark Gov't was defeated in a vote of nonconfidence? B. Boumcri I can't say I like this whole thing. For once, Clark was not given a proper chance to show what tie Is made of. The. elections, won't change a- thing, we will still have a minority government. One thing for sure, I don't want to see Trudeau In again for anything. I really think Clark was attempting to do something good. No, I don't think rationing the gas is a good idea, I feel the oil companies should bear a good portion of the burden. Gas should be a fixed price, but just the same we all have to pull in our belts. It always hits the middle income people and people like me on a fixed income have to budget very selectively. lan y Santa Claasi Well, I have many ways of looking at it...I'd like to have had the Trudeau gov't, without Trudeau. As far as I can see, this gasoline price hike is only destined to affect the middle class guy.. 1 wouldn't like to have it come to this but maybe a rationing system, cut out pleasure use of gas. The rationing system would work as there would be a metered control as to where it goes, and how it is used. .",■'• Chris Hughes: From what I heard on the radio, the budget must have been really a bad idea, and the nonconficence vote a good idea. The government will probably be quite different if the Clark gov't, is ousted in the end. Politics is a very confusing issue by itself, and gets more confusing with all the colored news reports we see and hear. Joe Shortman, Jr.: 1 think the budget was the pits. Clark deserves what he got because that gas hike would be incredibly devastating to me in my business. The only other real beef 1 had with Clark was that PetroCan business. 1 have a hunch Trudeau's due to get in again. The government should regulate the oil companies more than they do and keep the price down to a minimum, although I realize it has to go up somewhat, but not so drastically. Eighteen cents a gallon, and then 6 month raises over two years is too much for the working clsss to afford. As far as the elections go, it will be close, but we'll probably see another minority, the Liberals standing more chance than the Conservatives. Rick Friesen: I don't think there's bound to be any drastic changes in the government. They are all pretty much the same. Gas will definitely have to go up in price, but maybe not in such leaps. The new government will probably be another minority to just put In another year's time. I don't know a lot about economics, but human nature tells me that the new gas price proposal would not save any gas. People are not' going to drive any less because of the price, no matter how the government thinks. 1 wouldn't like a rationing program, but it would surely work and maybe It will be a reality soon. mmmmmmmmtmmmmm^ 2A THE ALDERGROVE STAR, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1979 Preston accused of hanky-panky Outgoing trustees criticize government Continued from front page the past 30 years, requesting a meeting with council to discuss the causes of termination, they were unaware of the change. "We went through this at great haste. I was not aware this appointment had been made", said Aid. Elford Nundal. His sentiments were echoed by aldermen Ian Strachan and Muriel Arnason, who said they thought they were voting for the previous auditors. "Council has to make the appointments", Aid. Bill Blair advised. "Council did make the appointment, lt was in the minutes and you had a week to read through it", Preston insisted. Preston was accused of "hanky-panky" by Strachan who later retracted his remarks; agreeing that a change to local auditors was probably a good move. Strachan pointed out that council was not given sufficient time by the mayor to peruse the list before ratifying it December 3. Asked whether Piskorik, Baker and Zacher had previous experience in municipal auditing, Preston replied that he would look into the matter. Council had likewise objected at the inaugural meeting on December 3 when the mayor appointed himself as one of three municipal representatives to the Central Fraser Valley regional district board, positions requested by provincial legislation to be filled by council. In a secret ballot December 3 council voted for aldermen Bill Blair, Elford Nundal and Stan Fraser, to be their CFVRD representatives. By ANNE BERTING MURRAYVILLE - Outgoing school board trustee Loren Maluorno, who served as both finance chairman and vice-chairman said Monday he could not support the provisional budget discussed by the board Monday. The provisional budget at $30,700,000.00 is S4'/i-million more than last year's budget of $26,250,000.00. The ministry is imposing a basic mill rate of 43.5, that is 2.S mills higher than last year's 41 mills. With the local mill rate on top of that the total education mill rate will be 57.7 mills, compared with last year's 46.9 mills, a total increase of 11 mills. "The ministry will take 43.5 mills from the local people right away. On top of that we have local programs and non-sharable items for the local area", Maluorno said. "It is ridiculous, and I can't support it", Maluorno said Monday. Teachers' salaries, he said, accounted for $2-million of the provisional budget. "Inflation would have taken up $400,000 to $500,000. The balance is just increases for various programs." Maluorno said it would be the responsibility of the incoming trustees to hold the line and learn to say "no", and come up with a more realistic budget. Outgoing chairman Brian Westwood also strongly opposed, the proposed provisional budget, and put the blame squarely on the provincial government. "Over the past five years the provincial government has been steadily reducing its contribution while continuing to maintain bureaucracy within the system", Westwood complained. At only 28 percent, the ministry's contribution stands at the lowest in history, he said. . He pointed out that whereas under Barrett's NDP government contributions had been too high, under the Socreds they had gone to the opposite extreme. Furthermore, the ministry has announced that school districts with a budget and salary increase in excess of eight percent to 10 percent will not receive funds from Victoria. • "We have trimmed the fat so .that there is none left, while the ministry's bureaucracy gets bigger", West- wood complained. "This year will see a tax revolt", he warned. "I don't envy the new board. They have a hard task". Appreciative citizens elementary school gym Monday thanked the trustees for their contributions and presented them with potted poin- settias. Outgoing trustees Dr. Fred Ceresney (retiring), Maluorno, Marnie Robertson and Westwood will be replaced in January by Donna Rantamaa, Ken Robinson, David Bahr and Rev. John Rhoad.

Work has just begun: Wenman LANGLEY - In recognition of the fact that the "work has just begun", Bob Wenman, M.P. for Fraser Valley West, has announced that he intends to seek re-election as the Progressive Conservative member for the riding. Wenman, who has represented Fraser Valley West in Ottawa since 1974, has expressed great displeasure over what he refers to as the "opportunism and irresponsible" action of the Liberal and NDP parties, playing politics at the expense of the Automobile disappears Continued from front page a stream about 750 feet wide as it simply crossed the pavement of Jackman Road. The road was later blocked by municipal works crews. A farmer was seen reaching his horses on another field via canoe, a small import car all but disappeared into a ditch when its driver missed the navigational aids and a tpw trucker later scratched his head trying to figure out how to hook his cable to the submerged vehicle without having to call in skin divers. later in the day the water somewhat receded, but more rains were forecast. CFVRD cloture ALDERGROVE - The regional district office located at 26982 Fraser Highway will be closed between December 25 and January 1 inclusive.

He says opposition leaders were in clear breach of their commitment made following May 22, which was to give the new government a chance. The first six months of this government have been largely spent in wrapping up the business of the old Liberal government, Wenman says. "We have had very little time to implement our own initiatives. These include moving the nation towards a comprehensive energy self- sufficiency program, entailing the rc-vilalization of Petro- Can on a co-operative basis; enriching the employment tax credit problem to create 100,000 more jobs; increased assistance to universities for research and development programs; cutting the paper work details for over 70,000 small businesses; creating a business tax deduction for small business employing spouses; developing a national tourist strategy; development of major international trade initiatives and much, much more." One very clear example of the result of this action is that Canadians are no longer able to take advantage of the mortgage interest tax credit, which would have been very beneficial especially to the housing industry, home owners and potential home owners, Wenman says. He describes John Crosbie's budget as "honest" in that it addresses the problems of the economy directly without trying to deceive Canadians into thinking that the huge national debt will be easily disposed of. Wenman says as long as Canada is importing oil at the mercy of foreign oil sources, we will be forced to pay higher gasoline prices. The only sure solution is to seek energy self-sufficiency^ "Conservative policy is to establish a two price system - selling oil to other nations at world prices and charging Canadians a maximum of 85 percent of world- prices. This program gives Canadians a 15 percent competitive edge unlike the Liberal policy which handicaps Canadians by making them pay full world prices. "Development of the world's largest co-operative (Petrocan) is an important beginning towards oil self sufficiency for Canada." Although very concerned about the costly inconvenience of this election to Canadians, Wenman says he is enthusiastic about meeting all his constituents and is looking forward to having a majority Conservative government returned to Ottawa, and "a situation that would prevent political opportunism from disrupting good legislation." VICTORIA - The provincial government will make a final decision next February on the fate of a controversial piece of land near Aldergrove. The 626 acres was removed from the agricultural land reserve against the recommendation of the land commission. The government came under fire for the decision, forcing Premier Bennett to order a review of the decision. He also placed a freeze the development property. Agriculture minister Jim Hewitt says the land commission will hold another public hearing and carry out a detailed study of the property and report back to cabinet early in the new year. He says the original study wiis not complete. Hewitt expects cabinet to make a final decision on the property by the end of February. rmmmmmmmmmWrU ^^^^^kmk^/_^^_m^: I TDMLFIND OPENS SEE OUR FULL LINE OF il TOYS & GAMES FOR ALL AGES , OVER 300 MODELS, PLANES, CARS, m CLYDESDALE 8 HORSE HITCH [2 1/2 ft. long] AND MORE.

While you prepare for this holiday with gifts and planned celebration,remember the spirit of Christmas. Remember to work hard without complaint, to love other people as yourself. But, people often forget the happiness of their friends and relatives after the end of the holiday season. What once was a joyous occasion in time becomes a memory, at least until next year. And with that memory of Christmas spirit in our hearts, we will continue to show it. Be it a good deed a day without complaint, or charity the rewards arc great. No man need expect to be paid back as all debts are forgotten in the Christmas spirit. The dividends of sharing this spirit are far greater and long-lasting than jewels or riches. So, go out and share the joys of Christmas, no matter what month of the year it is. Christmas itself has been made meaningless by the commercial aspect, but the spirit redeems it. And no memory is good unless we have done good, always. Let the Christmas spirit be forever, all year long. For if we have charity, naturally faith, hope and love cannot be far'behind. And with these four virtues, the spirit of Christmas shall be strengthened. "Tb/ieclcwiffilran!" To laugh or cry? B.C.'s own little "Watergate" or "Lettergate" continues to roll, along and this week, for some strange reason, the Socred bosses apparently decided that the matter was in danger of dying and so added, so to speak, a can of gasoline to the dying embers by way of firing their research people. v Be that as it may, it is their affair. What should concern the rest .of us in B.C. however, is the pseudo-noble announcements by those who -were fired that now (now, mind you) they will cooperate with the RCMP in the force's investigations of the sordid affair. The implication which can be read into this announcement is that; until fired, this group's attitude was one of non-cooperation with Canada's police agency. Further, it may be implied, the group was prepared to thwart the porcesses of justice. To take it a step further, can anyone believe the group took that stance on its own, without pressure from the nabobs of the Socred party? Hardly. Fernie Free Press No Tory bandaids By BOB WENMAN, MP On December 11, the Hon. John Crosbie said, "As a country and as a government we must face the fact that we have to pay our bills and cannot continue by borrowing evermore at the expense of our future." Truer words have never been spoken. The government has been criticized by some for not "disguising" their budget. By this, they mean that Mr. Crosbie did not "beat-around-the- bush" but rather addressed the problems of our economy directly. In the past, economic difficulties have been dealt with in "political fashion", that is with a "bandaid" approach, curing the symptoms but not the cause. The Liberal fiscal philosophy of "spend now, pay later" amplifies this point. The government respects the ability of the average Canadian to appreciate the fact that it is now the time for belt-tightening that will bring about genuine economic benefits as opposed to the Trudeau cosmetic approach. The economy is long term and the balance must be struck between long term solutions and short term benefits. With Respect to the long term solution approach, Mr. Crosbie said, "this I and my colleagues are determined to do, even if it means risking more unpopularity, hopefully short term, we arc committed to the propositions that in the long run good economics is . good sense and thus good politics." Fraser Valley West will benefit along with the rest of Canada by the implementation of this new approach to Canada's economy. There are certain aspects of this budget which I view as being particularly beneficial to areas such as Fraser Valley West. For example, our riding consists of many small businesses; apart from the various business incentives provided The Aldergrove Star Established 1957 Published every Wednesday at 27120 Fraser Highway, Aldergrove, British Columbia CENTRAL FRASER VALLEY STAR PUBLISHING LTD.

One such change pertains to taxpayers who employ their spouses In unincorporated businesses; these people will henceforth be allowed to claim salaries paid to their spouses as taxable expenses. Although this will mean foregone revenues of $160-million next year, it will provide for a much more equitable taxation to small business. Farming is one of our area's foremost activities. Under the new budget, farmers will be able to get deferral of tax, once in a lifetime, on up to $100,000. in taxable capital gains (representing $200,000 of total capital gains) from the sale of their farm by transferring the gains to an RRSP. The farmer will no longer be a "tax victim" brought about by the tremendous increase in land values over the years in the event he sells his property. For more information on the budget, or if you have a concern you would like to bring to my attention, please contact me through my constituency office at 530-1424 or write: Bob Wenman, M.P. House of Commons, Ottawa, Ont. K1A 0A6. The constituency oflice will be closed for a few days over Christmas but the 24-hour answering service with whom I will keep in contact, will be able to relay any matters of urgency to me. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I can assure you that 1 will do all I can to make it a very Happy New Year. Business trends surveyed TeitioiB -rmon Muffled By DONALD STEPHEN KILEK The B.C. business climate reached a record high in 1979, but the outlook for 1980 is less positive. That is the conclusion of 156 executives who responded to the Employers' Council of B.C.'s twelfth Business Trends Survey. Sixty-five percent of the respondents found the general business,climate during the last six months of 1979 to be good, with 34 percent reporting fair conditions and 1 percent poor. This Is identical to the results of the Council's midyear survey. There is a significant change in the outlook for the first half of 1980; only 38 percent expect good conditions, 56 percent anticipate fair performance and i percent forecast a poor climate. This outlook closely matches the actual experience during the second half of 1978. I) Commenting on the , . change, Council President William Hamilton noted that while fewer respondents are as positive as in the last year, the basic strength of the' provincial economy remains. Capacity utilization rates arc high, with 61 percent stating that their companies arc operating at a satisfactory level. In B.C, expenditure intentions for most categories of investment are relatively unchanged from the high level reported in the midyear survey. This is not the case for Canada as a whole, as there has been a significant decline in intended expenditures in nearly all categories of investment in the country. A significantly larger percentage of respondents are anticipating improvements in labor-management relations. Another encouraging note is the drop in the percentage expecting an increase in the rate of inflation. However, more executives see an increase in the unemployment rate. The overriding concern expressed in the survey is the current high level of interest rates and uncertainty about their duration. Most executives appear resigned but able to cope with these rates in the short term. However, they are very concerned about the dampening effect on the economy should they continue very far into 1980, Hamilton said. The difference in attitude towards the provincial economy and the national economy is- pronounced. While 65 percent considered the last six months of 1979 to be good in British Columbia, only 23 percent thought the country as a whole enjoyed a good business climate. The same situation exists for the outlook; respondents arc considerably more positive about B.C. than they arc about Canada, the survey notes. In 1980, modernization and repair accounts for the largest portion of total investment planned by both the primary and secondary sectors. Fifty- six percent of responding primary sector firms and 37 percent of respondent secondary sector firms indicate modernization and repair intentions. Half the investment by the service sector is intended for expansion purposes. Sales measured in dollar value increased for 81 percent of the respondent firms during the last half of 1979; 63 percent expect further increases over the next six months. Sales measured by units sold, however, rose for only 60 percent, and 46 percent expect increases in the first half of 1980. This is consistent with the information concerning average selling prices, the survey notes. Eighty-six percent indicated increased average selling prices during "the last half of 1979. There is a significant increase in the percentage anticipating price increases in 1980 - 72 percent, up from 64 percent in the previous survey. Corporate after-lax earnings increased for 65 percent of tile reporting firms, relatively unchanged from the last two surveys. The track record in predicting after-tax earnings has nol been particularly good, the report slates. "In the last survey. 38 percent of the primary sector expected higher profits; this survey shows that twice that. 76 percent, realized increased profits." For the first half of 1980. 48 percent expect increased after-tax earnings, 31 percent anticipate no change, and 21 percent predict profits will be down. The total value of new orders increased for 70 percent of the firms. Expectations for the next six months arc virtually unchanged with just over half expecting a rise in the value of new orders. There has been no significant change since midyear In average costs per unit, although there is a significant jump in the percentage expecting average cost increases in the first part of 1980 - up from 80 percent to 89 percent. Inventories of finished goods and of raw materials and brought-in supplies increased, according to 41 and 40 percent, respectively. No significant change is anticipated for the next six months. "An analysis of past surveys indicates a practice of underestimating future operating trends," the report notes. "A larger percentage of firms report good business conditions over the most recent six-month period than had anticipated good conditions six months earlier. For example. 28 percent of primary sector respondents expected to increase their employee numbers in the final six months of 1979. This survey shows that, in actual fad, 42 percent increased the numbers employed. With only a few exceptions, this underestimation by the three sectors has held for all operating trends." Throughout this world, Throughout this land, People crying "Give us a hand!" Aren't just dying But even more- They aren't heard. One day I heard Something a bird Was telling me, About the world, The world once free- Now, no whispering 'Cause the bird's gone. All my days gone, All the memories. What is my life If my words die In one last cry: "What, where, when, who, And lastly, why?" There is not free, Nor do I see, A man who can't Speak what's on His very mind. When once he could, When once he would. I have a mouth, Within a tongue. Without a word I am doomed. Silenced, a bird Sings not one song- 'Tis tragedy. So when you hear, So when you read, My words are less Than what you heed. My song unsung, So out of tune- Music no more. No Candu: Argentine eonneetion LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Just a few weeks ago,. Argentina chose West Germany over Canada to build its third nuclear reactor. Even though we could have built that project at a much lower cost, the contract was awarded to the more expensive competitor since West Germany rates high on on- the-job performance. As well, her negotiators were very fluent in their bargaining. ' But what really bugged the Argentine government was the repeated renegotiation of the second reactor contract by Canada. This off-and-on sort of business continued while Canada revised her position on nuclear safeguards. Another reason for Argentina's decision on the recent reactor contract may have been external affairs minister Flora MacDonald's criticism of Argentina's human rights policy. In any kind of international contract involving nuclear reactors, it seems that criticism of the negotiating countries' sensitive issues is an absolute "no-no". And that's especially true If one country directs it against another. The only operating nuclear plant In Latin America, Atucha I, was built by West Germany's federal Kraftwerk union in Argentina. The second Argentinian nuclear power plant, Embalsc, is still being built by the Atomic Energy Commission of Canada Ltd. But Canada had problems building Embalsc; cost over-runs and construction delays have slowed down •lie project considerably since its inception. Scheduled to be operating by March, 1982. Embalsc will be two years behind its intended deadline of next year. Yet, despite the fact that Canada lost out to West Germany, she has one consolation to help her get over the loss. The Canadian steam ■pressure tubing system rather than the West German pressure container system will be followed in the construction of Argentina's third nuclear reactor. And so. we cannot claim that the whole reactor issue with Argentina was a total loss. But judging by the furore this recent nuclear contract caused in recent weeks, it all must have meant very much to Canada. Now it Jooks like our nuclear safeguard requirements will have to be clarified before any more nuclear reactor sales arc made. Also, the Canadian government will have to decide quickly without dillydallying about on future reactor sales. As for critical external af fairs ministers, they should hold their peace until the ink has dried. Otherwise, we Canadians may not get another chance to sell another reactor, cheaply. And expense • may just one day justify expeditiousness. Corporate powers no longer in love with Trudeau Editor, The Star, Sir; The system minus Trudeau. The political passing of Pierre Trudeau was stayed as a demise by his own hand, but it looks more like political homicide. The corporate powers effectively dumped Trudeau when they switched from Liberal to Tory on May 22. They polished him off as prime minister, as the financial post poll of top executives had prophesied, and by doing the same thing provincially to wipe out all Liberal governments In the country, they forced his resignation, "for the good of the party", for the good of political expediency. While both old parties represent monopoly corporations, multi-national captains clearly saw a shorter road to super profits and control of society via the Tories, Advanced to Liberal leader in 1968, Trudeau foresaw a "Just society". He ended by trying to be more right-wing than the Tory raw-right. But it was too late to placate the masters in corporate board rooms who were hungrier than ever. Perky Joe Clark who can rhyme off anything he's told could be put to better use. Well, the Liberals have an answer to that: they'll get a new Image. Yes, they will, But the people of Canada, and the vast majority don't need images. They need jobs, homes, educational opportunities, and a future shaped by themselves, not the multinationals or big-profit gutter culture, (we have had that for over one hundred years through both old line parties). Canadian people don't need a bosses agent with a new image; wc need a new face on parliament with people making the rules. Trudeau may be gone, as a force, but the system goes on, and its agents keep undermining, and that's what the Canadian people have to fight in the public arena. The fight against Inflation cannot be won by increasing prices, shutting down plants, the opposite is the answer, and if free enterprise cannot or will not then government must. Instead we get ever more inflation, unemployment, racism, political brain-washing, and costly arms build-up, Trudeau's usefulness may be gone, but the usefulness of every Canadian ready to do battle with the monopoly system has never been greater, and never more crucial. The Ottawa Tories convinced they would have been spared an election until after the Liberal leadership convention in March, went all out to do a hatchet job on the Canadian people. Crosbic, in a "tough mood" dismissed election promises of a massive tax cut. The scheme to steal Pctro-Canada from the Canadian people and peddle it to the multinationals, had lost even the fig leaf of free shares to the public and went down the drain. Despite assurances of house leader Baker (and who can believe a Tory?) Democracy went down the drain, was replaced by dictator Crosbie who did his to increase Inflation as he told the gas stations to up the price five cents a litre, to gore the public even more. But democracy prevailed and now is the time to pressure each and every candidate as to his stand on putting Canadians back to work, Petrocan, unemployment insurance, medicare, and taking control of our resources out of the hands of foreign ownership, so Canadians present and in the future can shape their destiny. If anyone has any doubt that profit is the name of the oil multi-naltonals game, have a look at Gulf Canada; In the first nine months of 1979, after expenses and taxes, profit was $191,700,000, up by $66,800,00 more than in the same months of 1978. Figure out what that could mean for Canadians if our resources were publicly owned. And that is just one oil company. Figures used are from the company's own financial statements. Yours truly, _m ,„.

We are anxious about the safety of our property in-our .community, and we wonder why somebody doesn't do something. Crime, to define it in a specific generality, is nothing other than man's inhumanity to man. Christmas underlines the maxim of loving others. "Love they neighbor as thyself," said the Christ of Christmas. "Do good. "Be forgiving." "Be good!" is the Santa message. "Good boys and girls get nice things." This series was Intended as a casual analysis of the local juvenile ..and crime problem with a report of the "whys" as the authorities view them, and the "whats" that are being and can be done, and we have covered several aspects of the local situation.

Christmas and crime have become too compatible. Conditions in the world, so ecclesiastical authorities tell us, were.at low ebb at the time of that first Christmas - it was a time of oppression, extortion, and fear. Today wc continue to talk of peace and good-will, even as the shepherds heard the angels sing their tidings on that long-ago eve, but a glance at- the daily front page or a listen to a news-cast reveal anything but peace and good-will in our world, our nation, or our community. Specialists have begun to note another cause for death - fright. ( The same book that gives the account of the first Christmas also speaks of a time when men's hearts will fail them for fear.) We shudder at the hostage taking incidents, the atrocities committed, the riots, the scandals, and we wonder aloud about what the world is new way of life for future generations. Rick Mcllwain photo problem. That's why we are writing. Kids do create mischief and contribute to unsettled and uncomfortable community conditions. Another message also comes through •• , message that has been stated by authorities here as well as by authorities elsewhere. "Our kids, are basically nice," they say. "They are not criminals, but they get into trouble." Our problem, then, seems to be, "(tow can we make our nice kids be good?" In articles past wc have discussbd such contributive factors to juvenile "crime" as poor home situations, drug arid alcohol abuse, lack of success experiences, child abuse, lack of security. Wc have also" reported positive - steps being taken to counter the problem. In the province's pilot counselling program sponsored by the Langley RCMP detachment, Jim Smith and Fred West are helping youngsters stay out of trouble. A second counselling program has now been started in the province, that one in Kelowna, and in its initial stages it is showing the same success as is being experienced here in the Langleys. Some psychologists and sociologists may question specific techniques being used by the counsellors, but the point is that they are having success. At this time ofthe yeir, it may do us well to examine some of the facts involved. Kids who go to the' counsellors go because they want help, they receive Individual attention, their families are involved, and they receive this help over a period of live causes, of providing facilities that will give our kids the guidance, the help, and the security they lack. Another message also comes through. Kids need individual attention. To be effective this attention needs to come before they arc thirteen. Youngsters need the security of relationships. They need success experiences. Again, this points to the failure of today's family. Two counsellors can't deal with all the problems. Five probation officers can't deal with all the problems. Even as active as they have become on their off-duty hours with minor sport and other youth organizations, the police can't reach all the kids. Other groups, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, church and club organizations, involve themselves on a personal basis with youngsters, but neither arc they able to reach all those who need help. Christmas is the time of joy and good wishes, cheer and good will. It is the time of happiness, made merry by the presence of Santa Claus. North Americans are known for their big-heartedness, their giving-ness. They are also notorious for their inability to colpe with unhappincss. Social experts point to this social phenomena, this inability to face up to and grapple with unhappincss as probably the most contributive mental factor to family breakdown. This failure to confront and deal with our problems extends to all personal relationships and in effect moves out to include the whole world. As I stand aside and watch the crowds make their way LETTERS TO THE EDITOR? 'Basic discipline' not answer Dear Mrs. Vanderwerff: • On behalf of Dr. L. Samp- son, Superintendent of Schools, I would like to congratulate you for your article, "Is Education the Answer" on page SA of the •Aldergrove Star, Wednesday, November 28, 1979 As a past principal, for eleven years, of the Aldergrove Secondary School I appreciate the fihe line between lack of success in school and vandalism, which you pointed out. I also agree With you that there Is no simple answer such as "Back to the Basics," or "More Discipline," to the complex problem of educating today's children and preparing them to take their place 'in today's complex society. I would congratulate you on your perception of the problem, and your insight Into possible solutions to the complexities of modern day education. Congratulations for a very well written article. Yours truly, N.A. Sherritt District Principal through the tinsel-bright, evergreen-decked mall and see the little ones queuing up at Santa's headquarters, I think back to. our Christmas ofthe "chatty" doll. ■ • The year "Chatty" made her debut, we were living up north. Early In the season the'. Christmas wish books were well worn, and our little sweetheart and her best friend had their hopes set on a "Chatty" doll each for Christmas. They didn't care if Santa brought it or if it came from the catalog - they each' wanted a doll and they' knew exactly which doll it had to be: Well, our little sweetheart did find a_"Chatty" under our tree. And it was the most loved doll any little girl ever had. But there was no "Chatty".under .her friend's, tree. And that is when.the trouble started.' - < When best friend came over, "Chatty" had to be protected. Best friend could not stand "Chatty." She had to hurt her. She hit her. She tried to poke her eyes out. She broke her string so she couldn't talk.-(Mptheriy operations repaired that on various occasions.) Looking back now, it is easy to understand that little girl's frustration. Then, a's a young.and not so wise mother, the problem was hard to deal with. As I watch the youngsters in toy departments, awestruck with all the eye-dazzling play gadgetry that the petro-chemical industries can produce, delighted by the appealing 'replicas of their favorite television heroes which can do almost anything including self-destruct - as long as their batteries are working - I wonder how many will -find their trust in Santa misplaced when the old gift-giver does not come through with all that their heart desires. I also wonder how many children will have their creativity further destroyed by an inundation of toys that do everything for them. Or how many will have their leanings toward violence further stimulated by toys that encourage destructive and anti-social thinking patterns. \ Back to Santa. Santa is an embodiment of part of the North American conception of the spirit of Chrismas •- that spirit of happiness and joy in giving. This spirit is further stimulated and expressed as wc respond to the ringing bells and give our dollars to help someone else have a merrier Christmas, or as wc present some beautifully wrapped gift to the Christmas bureau in hopes that some child's happiness will be ensured. I remember what could have been my happiest Christmas. It was my last Christmas at home before going away to college.' Our family had an old, old uncle. He had married my grandmother's sister after he had settled down from his sea-faring days, but they never had any children.. After grandmother's sister died, he still claimed our families, and whenever he came for a visit, he always brought something special for the little ones. But the years were slowing him, and he knew that his days in the isolated freedom of his old fishing home were numbered. That fall, knowing that town and the nursing home were his destiny, he determined to have one last, good Christmas. He drew generously from his savings. With the help of one of the aunts, he selected a gift, something nice, something appropriate, something of value, for each member of each of the families. - Wc were all together that Christmas eve, the traditional time, for the family's gift exchange. It was a special time as we unwrapped the gifts from uncle amid exclamations of the appropriateness, the thoughtfulncss each Implied. I was happy. I knew how pleased, how rewarded he must feel to sec how effective his gifts were. Then, later In the evening, I happened out Into the kitchen to find one of the mothers expressing her dis- gruntlcdncss because her gift, in her eyes, did not equal that of another. And the happiness and the warmth 1 had felt was tarnished. :■ Our values have been eroded, and as implied in last week's article, covetousness - greed -- is a fundamental problem in our society. Greed does not only find expression in some senseless corner store robbery of in some fradulent white-collar scheme •- and white collar crime is costing British Columbians some $2 billion this year. Greed, jealousies, compounded with our incptness in I handling our unhappinesses, errupt In myriads of ways, in varying expressions of our Inhumanity to others - destruction of another's possessions, spoken unkindnesses, shutting ourselves away from others, refusing to share our friendship. At the Christmas season with our love for commercialism wc in a sense tepd to defeat the very, cause of peace and happiness and good will to all that wc promote. We can give and give and give in order to spread the Christmas Spirit, but wc tend to confine our giving to the giving of things. "Loneliness," we often hear, "is one of the greatest crimes of the age." And we associate this loneliness with the elderly. Yet, if I am understanding the implications of what I am being told, loneliness is not only a problem of the very old, but it is also a problem of the very young. Our youngsters need the security of individual attention'. Personal > relationships are important, possibly doubly important at Christmas. Positive personal relationships may be one of the best deterrents to crime that there is. Santa Claus is in town! What will he do to help us with our problem? Wc, as adults, know who the real Santa is. What will wc do? I remember the donkey. 1 can't forget the donkey. The donkey, unaware of the situation, did not realize its importance. Many of us, like the donkey, plod on toward Christmas, unaware of the importance of our own part in the destiny of mankind, of our community, or of the those of our own family, friends, acquaintances. We give our dollars. We dole out anonymous gifts. We , content ourselves that we have contributed to the spirit of Christmas. > With our enigmatic person-, alitics. we give rein to the donkey-like obstinancics. We balkingly sit in our (races > because of hurts, puzzled by our unhappinesses. Wc ignore apology; we forego forgiveness. We don't realize -- don't care- is too harsh - the happiness, the security wc can give to another by giving of ourselves. And the donkey carried Mary to the stable in Bethlehem. The donkey helped bring the world to the message of Peace, Goodwill, and Joy. Season's Greetings This series will conclude In - January, 1980.

Rick Mcllwaln Photo LANGLEY • Langley Amateur Boxing Club's manager and coach Glynn Jones had a reason to smile Saturday evening. Not only had his charges conducted themselves well, winning nine of thirteen bouts, but they looked much improved also. A modicum of ring wisdom is stealing in. The local boxers, rather than remaining a group of boys who box, arc jelling into a competitive boxing club with a very aggressive nature indeed. Jones incidentally, is destined for better personal habits. In a moment of weakness last week he promised some of the lads that if they emerged from the battles victorious he would give up the nicotine habit. As a consequence: 112 lbs. Dean Moore (LABC) reversed an earlier loss to Queensborough's Rick Debeck by pounding out a workman-like TKO in the second round. A series of hard leftshots to the body by Moore got him the well earned victory. Don Croft (LABC) at 165 lbs. had his hands full with Sullivan's Al Harper until Harper was rendered hors de combat, with an injured shoulder. The injury and victory for Don in the second round resulted from a missed punch by Al and a heavy blow to the shoulder by Croft. John Unrau (LABC), 70 lbs. had to go the limit to take a 3-2 split win from Richmond's Troy Brustyk. Unrau's constant attack wasv the difference. First timer Gordon Clark (LABC) got off to a good start, pounding out a hardhitting victory in the second round over Scott Aquino of Richmond at 60 lbs. Clark is developing into a heavy hitter, he worked the body ver effectively.$ Us Unrau (LABC) at 95 lbs. won a unanimous nod over Richmond's Kevin Carney. Les was plagued by a defensive problem of keeping his guard up. He allowed the match to become a nearer thing than it needed to be. Les was selected as the most sportsmanlike boxer. At 175 lbs. Cam Croft of LABC won by a merest of margins in the evening's best senior bout, over Port Kells' Ron Todter. Croft, a sentimental favorite to the rabid local fans staged enough ferocious rallies to win the 3-2 split decision. Andy Lum (LABC) stopped Port Kells' Garry Painter in the second round of the 139 lbs. division. The issue was never in doubt as Lum laid down vicious barrages to the body and head from the outset. The two main events were riot what had been anticipated. In the junior fixture, home town, 75 pounder Gordon Jones was matched a- gainst Richmond's highly rated and last year's junior Golden Gloves champ, Terry Bridson. Bridson, however, was literally unable to cope with Jones' assaults, forced to backpedal to survive, he did not put up the battle Jones had expected and did not win a round on any of the five judges' cards. Gordon was the evening's best junior boxer. The senior main pitted Bryant Ross (LABC) at 165 lbs. against Port Kells' Bronze Gloves champ, Mark Painter. Painter, too, came with top credentials having recently won three bouts, the last two by the first round KO route. Never able to force his big punch, Painter withered under a whistling left and was counted out at 1:45 o the first round. The other local boxers gave : their all but came in second in the eyes of the officials. 90 lbs. Ray Muller lost a hairline 3-2 split to Queensborough's Ray Shocrtcr. Charly Charlton fought gamely, losing to Sullivan's Bruce Hunter at 75 lbs. Sean Jollife lost a 4-1 split to Queensborough's Dave Travis and 156 lbs. Sheldon Toddhunter survived two first round knockdowns to lose to Dan DePasquale of Inner-City. DePasquale was the evening's best senior boxer.f All In all it was a good way for clean living to come to Glynn Jones. As an added note from' manager Glynn Jones: "Thank you to Denny Ross, Dennis Donnelly and John Small, the other coaches and trainers of the LABC. I could not have done it without their help", he said. "Also, thanks and much gratitude to Dr. Jim Martin and Dr. Fred Ceresney for their help over the past few months."

Valley Gravel comes up short on two games ALDERGROVE - On Monday, December 10 the Aldergrove midget rep team was hosted by North Delta. In the first period both teams were a bit sluggish and North Delta scored first. Aldergrove tied the score at the seven minute mark on a goal by Steve Guran, with assists to Al Fraser arid Dean Hall. North Delta came right' back to regain the lead oin some sloppy clearing by the local boys. Then with both teams shorthanded North Delta scored their third. Some excellent pressure by Valley Gravel was thwarted by the North Delta goalkeeper until ten minutes remaining when Al Fraser scored from Dean Hall after some excellent forechecking. Again North Delta came back with a short-handed goal to regain their two goal lead and followed with two more within two minutes to end the first period leading 6-2. The second period was all North Delta for the first nine minutes and only superb goaltending by Rich Jolly kept North Delta from going further ahead.. Unrelenting forechecking and poor clearing by Aldergrove resulted In two mote by North Delta and the second period ended 8-2. The third period began in a much better fashion for the local boys with a nice goal by Steve Guran, assist to Dean Hall. The game slowly deteriorated with'numerous penalties to both sides and the game ended with both teams two men short. Although it was not one of Valley Gravel Sates best games this year, some players deserve mention for extra effort in addition to the goal scorers. Jamie Bowes, Jeff Maisonette and Terry Dancy skated well and gave 100 percent on every shift. A complete team effort will enable the boys to give the North Delta team a much better contest next time out. Final score Aldergrove 3, North Detla 8. On the following evening Aldergrove travelled to Mission. In the first period Valley Gravel Sales, started quickly against a hustling Mission team with a fine individual, effort by Dean Hall. But a game Mission side tied the score on a power play at the ten minute mark. Close checking by both teams disorganized the play until Mission scored their second to go ahead and within 45 seconds, on some fine fore- checking, went ahead by two goals late in the first period, Penalties slowed the game and the period ended with Mission having a two goal margin. In the second period Mission continued their sharp shooting with their fourth goal. Excellent goaltending- by Mission kept Aldergrove stymied on a breakaway by Steve Waines and Mission came right back to score number five. Then the game started to open up and Al Perry got Aldergrove going with a solo effort on their second goal; followed quickly by a tip-in by Bruce Watkins, assists to Rich Murphy and Al Perry. Aldergrove was really rolling and Todd Waterfield drew the local boys within one, goal, assist to John Minot, on some fine defensive play. At the 11- minute mark Valley Gravel scored number five by Bruc3e Watkins from Al Perry to tie the score. The game continued with end to end action until the two-minute mark and a Mission poyrcr play connected to put Mission out in front once agaain. An excellent period of hockey ended with MUion leading '60,', The third period was a scrambly affair and both teams missed passes and lost the puck in their own zone. Pressure midway through the period by Misison was held out by excellent goaltending, by Rich Jdlly. Penalties, a common problem it seems, again hampered the play but resulted ina Aldergrove having a two-man advantage but to no avail. A sturdy Mission defense held the Valley Gravel team off the score sheet. Final score, Mission 6, Aldergrove 5, Spirits not dampened at sale LANGLEY • Saturday, December 8, dawned dull and damp for the second annual bazaar and bake sale of the ladies auxiliary to the Fraser Valley United Commercial Travellers held in conjunction with the second annual family fun fair put on by the men's council.

He also complains of flooding on his property resulting from the ' ditch alongside the Moore property being filled to provide parking. Chief building inspector Peter Jarvis told council Monday that the 40-acre property is still in the land reserve. It contains a small dwelling. Jarvis said that a year ago Rev. Moore presented drawings depicting a proposed religious centre, consisting of a prayer tower, meeting hall, multipurpose offices, a miscellaneous recreation area, parking and landscaping. The applicant was advised that the proposed use, while allowed under municipal zoning (RR1) would require release from the B.C. agricultural land reserve, and would also require council's approval, Jarvis said. He said that in July this year Rev. Moore reported that exorbitant costs prevented him from going ahead with his plans'. Instead he proposed a single family dwelling for which he was issued a permit, on the understanding the existing dwelling would be either moved or demolished. Regarding the flooding on the Thomas property, director qf engineering Doug Kenyon told council Monday that a permit for 600 feet of 12 inch boulevard die had beet) obtained by Rev. Moore in May this year, for the installation of a pipe in the ditch, at the cost of SI,800.00. "The Thomas property Is. located south of the church property, and eight-inch Hie was Installed here many years ago and is either partially plugged or collapsed, and does not handle the flow during heavy rains. Consequently water does back onto the Thomas fields during heavy rains and gradually drains away when the rains subside", Kenyon said. The problem was referred to the public works sub-committee earlier this year with a recommendation to replace the eight-inch tile with a 12 inch pipe. However, the problem was not considered serious enough at the time, and no action was taken.

O'Ffill, who has just returned from a survey of the area, says starvation is not the only problem. Malnutrition, respiratory ailments, anemia, and parasites are some of the side effects. This is why SAWS ting of two doctors and six nurses each, will care for these patients 25 hours a day, seven days a week. A medical team of 12, which was assembled earlier at the denomination's medical school in Lorna Linda, ^California, left San Francisco Sunday (December 2) lo assist those already there. O'Ffill was given a personal tour by the military command of the border provinces in order that he might these in the areas of greatest need with high protein foods. "Clothes of native design will be bought by SAWS in Thailand," says O'Ffill, "to care for the immediate needs of the refugees." Approximately $175,000 have been received, so far, from the appeal made by world president Neal C. Wilson to the Seventh-day Adventist membership worldwide through the church's weekly paper less than one month ago. This sum is expected to exceed $500,000 when other gifts come through church channels at the end of the month. By MIKE KERRY ALDERGROVE ■ The United Church choir led the worship at last Sunday's morning service. I believe they were concerned that their performance would be below their usual standard because of the organ. They thought that the . temporary organ would not take the place of the one that was vandalised, but they needn't have worried. Sybil Borgal played the new organ beautifully and led the choir in a good performance of Christmas music, on the theme "How far is it to Bethlehem." At least half of the 18 senior choir members were featured in solos or duets. The Jubilation Singers sang two delightful songs. In one of them, "This Jesus my Savior", Sheila Watson and Mlkki Wywka played flutes, and Teresa and Jennifer Nadeau played guitars to accompany themselves and the other singers, Carol and .Dana Sim. It was a good musical service. The afternoon and evening were given over the the Sunday school concerts of Mount Lehman and Aldergrove United Churches. It's good for children, teachers and parents to get together, and the Christmas concerts were joyful occasions for all. **• I heard recently of a very dignified man who was chairman of the board of directors of a large company. He was always impeccably dressed and was the sort of person whose appearance and manners commanded respect of all the people he met. Yet that man sometimes behaved like a four year old when he was at home. He'd throw a tantrum if he couldn't find his socks. Isn't there some of that in all of us? We tend to have two modes of behavior, one to be seen by the outside world, and the other for use at home. It Is no doubt part of our nature, but that doesn't make it right. It's really rather hypocritical to put on an act to impress others, especially If it's a false impression we're trying to create. Jesus was very outspoken against hypocrisy and so we should avoid it. There's much to be gained by being open and consistent, trying to behave the same in private as in public and vice versa. A logical conclusion of that statement is that our friend the chairman should throw a tantrum in the boardroom. No, that wouldn't be right; but he'd be more rational at home if he was less keen to impress his colleagues at work. The Christian way of life requires close relationships between people. It's not easy for Christians to minister to others if they remain distant and unprepared to share. You don't have to tell your life story and your innermost secrets to everyone you meet, or listen to theirs, but it helps if you arc willing to. What a lot of needless pain we bear, because we're unwilling to let others into our private dom ains. It works both ways. We gain when we take the risk of allowing outsiders to know more of ourselves and we gain when we are prepared to know more or the ways of others. The early Christians lived in close fellowship with each other, as is described at the end of Acts 2. There are many Christian communities nowadays that are- modelled on that chapter, but even those of us who are caught in the workaday world can benefit from being more open with each other. That's what I like about fellowship in Christian homes. 1 must have been to hundreds of meetings during my years as a Christian, most of them with regular weekly groups and some at spontaneous gatherings. Though the home meetings usually include the same things ~ prayer, song and sharing -- no two arc alike. The most memorable meetings have been the ones when words have been shared that have required a measure of trsut between those who spoke and those who heard. 1 think we'd be more effective Christians if we were more willing to take the risk of trusting others. Ground broken for Thompson Centre Ground was broken for the Robert N. Thompson centre at TWC on Monday, December 3. Dr. Thompson, prominent Christian layman, Canadian statesman and associate of the college was present as the centre, a major classroom and office facility, was dedicated in the college chapel. College president, Dr. Neil Snider, described the plans of the structure designed to house the divisions of business and aviation. Don Voth of Voth Brothers Construction said his company will be starting work in December with completion set for July. The Thompson Centre has long been a dream of college friends who have looked forward to the day when Trinity could offer a four-year university program.

Have a musical Christmas By KURT LANGMANN A last-minute guide to lp record gift giving is in order, and so some of the year's best and worst are presented here for your perusal. Here goes: Chleftalns/8 - certainly the best modern interpreters of traditional Celtic music. There are no vocals but the melodies bound about jauntily, and the sounds from this small group are nearly symphonic in scope. (They will be in Vancouver in concert in the spring). Rating: 9. Ry Cooder/Bop till you drop • sadly neglected, this recording is Cooder at his best and most commercially appealling yet. Contains acoustic and electric guitar wizardry on everytlng from trad- itionals to a Doc Pomus standard to modern Stevie Wonder-style funk. Rating: 9. Foreigner/Head games - Their formula swept the world two years ago, and it hasn't failed them yet. However, whereas most musicians strive for higher states of excellence or at the least, diversification, these lads stick to the straight-and- narrow path. As a musician- friend so succinctly observed, the best part of this album is the cover - if your turntable won't accept it, try a pointy stick. Rating: 4. (There's nothing so un-chic as yesterday's fashions.) Talking Heads/Fear of music - this New York band is a powerhouse on stage, and fortunately this recording does them justice. Tina Weymouth's distinctive bass runs and David Byrne's frenetic vocals set them apart from any other.- Rating: 9. AC/DC Highway to hell - clinically proven to be five times as effective as Geritol, in limited doses.

It has other names such as pub rock or good time rhythm and blues but the first title is the most accurate description of both performers and audience. The sound evolved from bar hands, playing rock versions of Old blues material. In the sixties both THE ROLLING STONES and THE PRETTY THINGS Rot their start playing songs by Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolfe, Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry. In the mid-seventies the pub bands were still playing the old blues standards, as well- as classics by The Stones and The Pretty Things. The latest in a long line of R & B bands, THE INMATES, have, just released their first album, titled First Offence. If it wasn't for the Inmates name on the label the record could be mistaken for a reissue of an early Stones album. That's not necessarily a criticism as many people still like the early Stone's sound and the best songs on the album certainly do justice to their inspiration. Unfortunately not all the material is as strong as the excellent opening cut "Dirty Water" and the album just fails to capture the true spirit of rhythm and booze. Perhaps they need a prescription from Dr. Feelgood? Between 1975 and 1977 Dr. Feelgood established itself as the master of pub rock with three of the best albums int the genre: Down by the Jetty, Malpractice and Live Stupidity. Their sound was gruff vocals, crisp guitar underpinned by a tight rhythm section; simple and effective. After the fourth album, $ § \ THE STUDIO K I.MUSIC SHOPPE 1 Solid Senders and' the rest of the band set about refining their R & B image. The Fcclgoods often showed up at their gigs more Inebriated than their audience and-then amaze everyone by putting on a great show. The style of their next two albums Bee Seeing Yon and Private Practice is more relaxed and fluid as opposed to the sharp, clear cut style of their early records. It took awhile to recapture their old fans but with the help of a Nick Lowe song "Milk and Alcohol" Dr. Feelgood was back in the charts. Their newest studio album has just been released and it shows the continued development of the new Feelgood style. Whether the Ip Let It RoU, will be released in Canada depends upon their label which has a very bad record for not releasing albums in our country. Another R & B band only available on import records is The BISHOPS who share many similarities with the Fcclgoods while still producing a unique sound. Their third album Cross Cuts has some great originals such as "I Want Candy" as well as a few slower blues standards. All three groups make the kind of party music that is a real crowd pleaser whether on stage or on your turntable. better heavy metal today. Rating: 6'/i. Knack/Get the Knack - I call it 'food music' (e.g.: Rice-a-roni, She's so shellfish, etc.) The ringleader, Doug Feiger, is a 30-ish, semi-balding (with a Beatle mop-top) creep who likes to talk dirty to 13 year old girls. Perhaps the state department could use them for their next U.S. - Iran cultural exchange. Rating: useful as garbage can lid, party ashtray, w.h.y. Kinks/ Low budget - you mean you don't have this yet? Great rock for dancing or listening (Ray Davie's lyrics are among the best). Rating: 9. Brace Cockbum/Danclng In the Dragon's Jaws - as I said in a review earlier this year, this is the best Canadian release this year. Rating: 9. Led Zeppelin/ In the out door - the Hindenburg has arrived. Yawn... Rating: 2. Chet Atklns/Nashvlllo Guitar Quartet - Atkins teams up with Liona Boyd, John Pell, and John Knowles for a journey through Mexico, Broadway and Brandenburg that is exquisite listening for guitar enthusiasts. Rating: 9. Charlie Danlcls/MIIIlon mile reflections - Great southern rock from Tennessee's master of any American musical style you can think of. (This "man Is older than my mother?!) Rating: 8. XTC/Drums and wires - Certainly the most unusual release from the U.K. this year. Listen to it with an open»*mind-jfnd'it" should catch your interest. Rating: 7. Police/Regatta de Wane • A superb follow-up to their successful debut. Rating: 8. Cheap Trick/Dream police - This band always makes me think bf the Who, and for that feat alone they win my respect. Rick Nellson's lyrics get better and there's plenty of his clever hooks (where does he find them all?). Rating: VA. Rickie Lee Jones - A fine first album from a woman who can wail through a cooker like 'Chuck E's in love' or sing mood pieces, Laura Nyro style. Rating: 8'/.. Joe Jackson/I'm the man • A real mover all the way through. Lyrics are witty and biting. Rating: 9. Graham Parker & Rumour/ Squeezing out sparks • originator of the style and substance that Costello and Jackson arc cashing in on today - perhaps Parker will be next year's model.

WIN Where and how By SYLVIA McLAREN WIN staff held a neighborhood meeting in the Farmer's Institute hall in McConnell Creek recently that was such an upper it made our whole week. Wc had a wonderful reception from the group gathered there, and hearing about the activities that are going on at the hall took mc back to the good" old days when I was growing up in a community of comparable size and energy. My home town in southern Ontario lacked the magnificent view that McConnell Creek has, but had a one room school house which both my Mother and I attended, and which was later turned into the town hall where most of the community's activities took place. While Union's landscape didn't match McConnell Creek's, the locals had much the same communily spirit, and the focal points of community activities were the community hall, the school, and the one church in town. McConnell Creek has one church too, which is closed, and parents have to take their children quite a way to attend Sunday school. Judging from the commendations of the mothers wc talked to gave the teachers, the elementary school is an excellent one. Anjl, there is no lack of activity at the Farmer's Insti- tuc hall, where a farmers market is held on the last Sunday of every month, and the old . time country style bingo happens every Saturday night at 8 p.m. One can't help win in one way or another at this Bingo-thcy have six door prizes which, country style, range from homemade bread, jam, a dozen eggs, to handicrafts. The first ticket of the evening costs $1.00 and tickets for the rest of the night are just 50 cents. The munchies for the evening arc all homemade, including pizza, and desserts with real whipping cream right from the farm. (Drool) Children arc welcome to come with their parents. Frances Rcamsbottom. of the Farmers Institute says volunccrs arc always needed to help out with the bingo nights, so anyone who is looking for fun volunteer work, take note. Apparently there is a weekly attendance of between 100 and 120 people, but it is estimated that only 5 percent of the regulars arc from McConnell Creek. Come on McConnell Creek •- support your local happenings. Other events happening on a regular basis at the hall include an annual Fall Fair, two auctions a year, and potluck suppers. Do I remember those country potluck suppers! Anyone interested in helping to organize a potluck supper, or more urgently, anyone interested in helping to organize this year's New Year's Ev,e party -- contact Frances Rcamsbottom. Several of the women attend a weekly quilting class taught by Movie Orr, and their enthusiasm spread to others at the meeting who would like to join. There are plans for another class in the new year (registration Is only S2.50), so anyone interested in learning to quilt-opportunity knocks. Something else that has just gotten started is the McConnell Creek Brownies for girls from 6 to 9 years old. They meet at the hall every Wednesday from 3 to 4:30 p.m., with Brown Owl, Mavie Orr. If enough people are interested, a Keep Fit class will get going in the new year--, why not sign up now, then enjoy the holiday baking with a clear conscience, knowing you are committed to take off the excess baggage jn 1980. Every two months a newsletter is delivered to everyone with a mail box-so it you've just moved in, get your mailbox up so you can find out what is happening in your new community. Frances Rcamsbottom would like someone from every committee in the area to write up a brief report on their committee and send it to her to be included in the newsletter. Anyone who writes articles, short sories, or poems is encouraged to submit their work for publication. Dot Pawson and Eileen Johnson of the Sunshine committee visit the ill and shut-in, and welcome newcomers to the area. So, if you've got a new neighbor, let Dot or Eileen know so they can extend a McConnell Creek "welcome". When asked if there was anything they'd like to get going for themselves, there was almost immediate consensus on a day-time drop in. Where once a week they could come, bring whatever handicraft they were working on at the time, and knit, macrame, sew, crochet, whatever, while visiting with one another. What a neat idea! Two of the women arc now in the process of organizing the Daytime Drop-In; the day of the week will soon be decided, and the expected start up date will be during the second week of January. If you arc interested in attending the Drop-In, call WIN at 859-7967 for details-then tell your friends, neighbors, and anyone who will listen— McConnell Creek women DO have a daytime activity, so DROPIN. Remember -- community spirit is contagious-pass it along! By WENDY JOHNSON ALDERGROVE - Sunday, December 16 Dams at home hosted the Abbotsford team. This was the first meeting of the fast skating teams and Dams won 6-2. At 14:25 of the first period Rick Davidson opened the scoring with a nice shot past the goalie. The next goal was Jim ■Butterworth's frpm Jim MacDonald and George Pedersen, ending the first period 2-0 for Aldergrove. At 10:15 of the second period Brent Muehlbauer gave a pass to Vince Beier who took it in and scored the third goal for Dams. Rick Davidson, skating and working hard, scored another for Aldergrove and a minute later Jim MacDonald set up by Rick Davidson put another past the Abbotsford goalie. The sixth goal was Jim Butterworth's on a breakaway. Abbotsford scored their two goals in the third period.

Holiday festival music continues in mall THE LITTLE RED SCHOOL HOUSE Industrial education Students al work In, tha trailer shop at Mountain school. Postal holiday closures Elementary industrial education This week's article deals with the introduction of Industrial Education instruction in the elementary schools of Langley. For the past many years, instruction in industrial education as a subject has been confined to the secondary schools. However, this was not always the case. When industrial education, or "manual training", as it was called then, was introduced into Langley schools in the early 1930's, It was started in several elementary schools, as.well as the high school. From the minutes of the Langley school board meeting of July 7, 1934: "Trustee Bull reported fully on the investigation of the committee appointed to look into the matter of manual training, stating that the cost of equipment for five centres would' be approximately $650.00, also that the department of education would stand a large portion of the cost of salaries and equipment thus leaving the cost to the municipality comparatively srnall. The matter of sewing for the girls was also taken up and it was decided by the committee to recotn- ment that classes in manual training for the boys and sewing for the girls be started in the schools upon the opening of the fall term". The recommendation was put into action at the next meeting on August 4,1934: "A discussion took place on the proposed manual training and home economics classes to be started at five centres, High School, Miner, West Langley and County Line to be opened as a start". At the same meeting the board appointed H. Vinall and Miss Marjcan McLure as Instructors'in manual training and home economics, respectively.

Coin booth thief nabbed A man who tampered with some 200 coin telephones in downtown Vancouver so that he could steal the money deposited in them has been sentenced to four months in jail. The man, Jean-Guy Laur- endeau of room 360 in the West Hotel, pleaded guilty to the theft charges in Vancouver Provincial Court. B.C. Tel security manager Bob McLuckic said that Laur- endcau was arrested after a security guard at the Pacific Centre Mall noticed a man acting suspiciously near a telephone booth. The guard followed the man around the shopping centre and, after observing him tamper with a coin phone and take the change, called the police. McLuckic said that B.C. Tel was aware that someone had been tampering with the coin phones in downtown Vancouver for about two weeks before Laurendeau was arrested. Shortly after the tampering problem was first reported, B.C. Tel security investigators received the description of a man suspected of committing similar offences in the Winnipeg area. Laurendeau answered that description and admitted to the Manitoba thefts after his arrest. Manual skills important [Continued Irom page 1B] in use next year, when the program will be expanded to cover all the grade 7 students in one year. The mobile I.E. shop has workbenches along each side which can accommodate 10-12 students at one time. The tools used consist of hand tools such as hammers, saws, planes, chisels and files, as well as a few small electric power tools. Emphasis in this program is ondcvcloping manual hand skills similar to skills taught in the early days of industrial education. After a one hour introduction, students arc divided into groups for instruction. The total time spent on the assignments is 18 hours. They arc assigned projects in wood, metal or plastics with each group being assigned a different variety of projects which increases familiarity with tools, procedures which gives students the desire to complete their projects and attempt something new with confidence. Developing manual dexterity is always the primary objective. The course is project oriented and students spend their time working towards completion of a project rather than practicing and refining skills. In such a short period of time, skill develo- ment is definitely limited. If a Undent is left with one or two completed projects and a positive attitude towards his manual abilities, then skills with specific tools and equipment will follow. Knowledge of tools, materials, shop procedures, and constant awareness of safety arc necessary and inevitable by-products. Manual skills arc an important part of a total education. Studies have shown that increasing physical and manual FROM THE BACK PORCH By BILL CLARK Each year, when there is a sound of bells and of carols in the air, I settle back gently and await my own Christmas Miracle. It is not unreasonable, for I am reliably informed that Christmas was, after all, born of a miracle. Why, then, should it not be attended each year with other miracles, as we remember the first one? Of such simple logic docs a writer construct simple, warm little stories. Like this one: A writer's Christmas miracle ] •*» Many years ago, in a small Canadian town, a newspaper Editor (whether in compassion or in desperation, I never discovered!) decided to print these little stories. He was the first Editor in Canada ever to put my blood, sweat, tears and agony into cold, hard print. In following years, as the stories spread across Canada and into Britain,- it became obvious that EVERY editor suffered anguish as Christmas approached -with nothing in the bin except very tired stuff from wire services and syndicates. Very tired stuff, indeed! Thusly, each year, I created a story for tired Editors. A Christmas story. If you were to ask where they came from, I could not tell you. As I have said, I just wait for my Christmas miracle. For this one, I must confess to being a thief. It is an honorable profession, for He shared His cross with another thief on another cross. He did not revile the criminal -■ and I would assume He would have given compassion, where it possible. Thusly, I confess that I have stolen, yet I have no guilt... for there is no crime in bringing a little warmth and a quiet chuckle to people who sadly need such things nowadays. Now, let's return to the Editor who first printed these stories... In the days before Cristmas he examined the editorial budget, with some desperation. There were a few dollars in the kitty, sufficient to launch a contest - with prizes for the Best Christmas Story. All across the little town children and grown-ups alike scribbled madly as the day of the deadline approached. On the Day of Judgment the Editor rested his tired eye- activities result in higher academic achievement. Success in making something increases one's sense of self-worth. Practical application brings classroom skills into perspective. Seventy-five percent of students will depend on manual work for their livelihood. Many others will benefit from the personal satisfaction which comes fromcreating something with the use of their hands. Aldergrove Radio&TV (1978) Ltd.

The family consisted of one mother and one smal girl, in somewhat straightened circumstances. In bitter fact, it was Christmas and they were flat broke! The mother stood at the bus stop. Within her purse was a Ten Dollar bill, dedicated to gifts for her small girl child. To put bluntly, it was the ONLY Ten Dollar bill... and while she dug through the mysteries that lurk in womens' purses, it fluttered downward and disappeared in teh falling snow. There is no need to dwell on the tears while the mother . confessed to a small girl athat there there would be nothing under the tree, except love. No need... because the small girl had her own sadness. Twisted within a handkerchief were a few pennies and nickels and dimes -- a whisper in the wind, contrasted with the cost of a gift for her mother. And so she stood at the same bus stop, many days later, and scuffed the snow in anguish... to reveal the Ten Dollar Bill! It may be assumed. In true soap opcVa tradition, that the story ends there - but 1 don't like my little Christmas story to end in stereotyped fashion. Therefore it is necessary to reveal that they kissed and cried... and that the small girl was still left with a few coins, twisted in a handkerchief. So she wrote the story for the little newspaper's Christmas contest... and won the prize! And so, once again, my thanks for a Christmas miracle. One that is very special, because it is true. That's why I call it: "A WRITER'S CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!" By ERNEST CLUETT ALDERGROVE - I wish to take this opportunity to wish all members and friends of branch 71 OAPO a. very happy Xmas season and a happy and peaceful 1980. Also season's greetings to what seems to be a growing number of readers especially to the reader in Victoria, whose letter regarding driving old clunkers brought back many memories.

Dance practice attandance has been curtailed lately due to many members being hit with the flu. The Saturday dance attendance was also down drastically due to the cold and windy conditions. However, the music was up to it's usual high standard and everyone soon warmed up.' The door prize was won by Emily Elmore and the spot by John Lafonds and Alice Stiebard. The birthday of Nick Slater and the 25th wedding anniversary of Phylis and Mac Graham of Crmona, Alberta, was suitably celebrated. The only visitor was John Simpson of Vancouver. Next dance practice will be on Wednesday, December 19 and the weekly dance on Saturday, December 22. A warm welcome is extended to all old time dancers to come and enjoy an evening at the friendliest hall in the valley.

Jobbing . gardeners are few and far between besides being ver expensive and most most people haye several interests and cannot devote too much time to their gardens. This means that the modern gardener has to be selective and this In Itself Is difficult. I have reached the stage when I grow far too much and have, not got the time to look after things as I would like. If it were gardening only there would be no problem but unfortunately (or fortunately), I have many other, interests. This means that the garden' suffers to a certain «xtent because I have not ' been selective enough. Everyone should ask themselves these questions • how much time can I give to my garden? - how much energy am I capable of giving? - how much can I look after without it conflicting with other interests? and • am I really enjoying myself by growing so much? If there be any doubt at all regarding the last question then you must cut down on your garden productivity. Gardening should never be a drudgery and it is possible for it to become so if too much is undertaken. There are certain trees and shrubs that require plenty of work such as training, pruning, staking and pest control. There are many otherss that require very little attention. This applies equal to vegetables and flowers. Why grow melons, asparagus or spinach unless you can give them the attention they need? Why gro exotic plants that need special care when there are dozens that almost look after themselves? Why grow tall plants In a windy area when nearly every variety can now be purchased in the" dwarf forms? All gardens should be care- folly planned with the above quesions in mind and this Is the time of the year to think about next season. Don't get me wrong. I am not getting fed up with gardening. Far from it but I really do believe many gardeners try to do too much. I spent four hours in the garden today and am appalled at the amount of work that lies before me. There is so much pruning,. dividing, manuring, liming, stake cleaning, gutter clearance, tool sharpening, weed clearing and other sundry jobs. that It makes me shudder. If this can happen to me it must happen to hundreds of other gardeners at this time of the year and they too must think about being selective. Instead of growing bout about a hundred different perennial plants, I shall cut the number in half. I shall do away wiht invasive plants that ramble all over the place and I shall endeavor to grow more dwarf plants that do not require staking. New seed'catalogues are out. They are quite fascinating to me and, of course, I want to grow all the new varieties. This is stupid he- cause one seed packet will provide enough plants for everyone in the area and I have about SO packets of half used seeds already. Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if every seed of every plant germinated.? If you are ordering seeds this year, do remember to biy disease-resistant plants such as rust-resistant snapdragons, virus-resistant tomatoes and mildew-resistant roses. It makes good sense to go along with the modern plant breeders who are producing these strains. As soon as you have finisly ed your winter pruning of fruit trees it is advisable to spray them with a tar-oil wash. This is preventive spray against the eggs of insect pests and parasitic diseases. Choose a day when it isn't windy or when the spray Is not likely to be washed off immediately by a downpour of rain. Besides killing the eggs of pests, this spray will also clear trie tree of any unsightly moss or lie hen. For those of you who have fish ponds, the fish will survive from icing over if there is a good depth of water, about two feet. However, if there is a thick covering of ice it should be broken at one end. Prise up the ice rather than banging it down to break it. Heavy blows from above can harm the fish. Best plan is to put the end of a stout pole into the pool, leaving enough available for lifting in order to make an opening during a severe spell of icy weather. There is no need to feed fish during hard, wintry weather. The author will endeavor to answer any questions on the subject of outdoor gardening.

JSP Christmas calling should be 'spread out' BURNABY - British Columbians planning to exchange holiday greetings and messages with friends and relatives over the telephone this festive season are advised to "spread their goodwill." B.C. Tel predicts the number of long distance call attempts during the 24 -hours of December 25 will be up by about 15 percent over last year, and consequently, callers arc urged to space their calls over the holiday period so as to Have a better chance of getting through, rather than convey seasonal good wishes on Christmas Day when long distance calling is at its peak. More than 1,600 operators will be on duty throughout the province on Christmas Day, when more than 1.2-million long distance call attempts r •- both ' operator handled and direct dialed - are expected. About 1,100 operators will be working Christmas eve and 1,000 will be on duty throughout the B.C. Tel system on Boxing day. Additional circuits have been added to the company's province-wide network In- 1979 which will help ease the load during peak calling periods over the holiday. However, delays will be inevitable and can be caused by the competition for long distance circuits from province to province. ' Customers are asked to refer to the front pages of their telephone directory for direct distance dialing Instructions and special rates. Customer service personnel, including installation and repair crews, also will be on duty during the holiday period to fulfill customers' needs.

ROGER WORTH Like modern day Don Quixote's, thousands of Canadians are haunting the corridors of officialdom, participating in what may become a geniune taxpayers' revolt, It's all part of a very real concern among many North Americans that governments in Canada and the U.S. are picking more than a reasonable share of dollars from taxpayer pockets. There is mounting evidence in Canada that people are not prepared to support more grandiose government spending schemes, and referen- . dums in the U.S. have forced governments to hold the line' on expenditures. Here are a few examples of the shift, in Canadian attitudes: * In Calgary, about 300 worried taxpayers are battling plans to build a luxury complex of municipal buildings. * In Quebec and Ontario, as well as many other provinces, business groups perpetually complain that government spending is out of control'. * In Edmonton, 200 citizens have rallied to one alderman's bid to upset a proposed tax increase. * When a computer expert from Vancouver founded the organization Human Action to Limit Taxes, support poured in from 1,500 people across the country. John Bulloch, president of the 55,000 member Canadian Federation of Independent Business does not find the' taxation backlash surprising: "After all, the Federation (which represents small and medium-sized businesses) started at a tax revolt move ment," he points out. "Today, we're, more concerned than ever about the heavy tax burden and such government schemes as the overgenerOus unemployment insurance program, now costing about $4.5 billion per year." Those benefit payments arc part of a huge federal government deficit, expected to total more than SI 1 billion this year. That's a cool $1,000 for each Canadian in the work force. In addition, provinces and municipalities add billions to the total deficit as they fail to balance their books. While there is no vehicle in Canada through which voters can vent their spleen on specific issues such as excessive taxation, politicians appear to be hearing the "hold-the-line" message. It's about time they understood. Mr. and Mrs. Denny Anderson [nee Wendy Archambeault], Double ring ceremony unites couple ALDERGROVE - Saturday, November 17, Denny Anderson and Wendy Archambeault were married In a double-ring ceremony. Wedding and reception were held' at the Roundhouse Restaur ant diningroom. In attendance were the families of the bride and groom and close friends while Rev. Ford of the Aldergrove United Church performed the ceremony. The bride was INFO HEALTH By Dr. BOB YOUNG Booze, beans, butts and babies. Certainly ah unlikely combination, but one that is causing increasing concern among those of use who look after pregnant women and their newborn offspring. Alcohol, caffeine (from the coffee bean), and nicotine all have become highly suspect in their potential for causing serious problems for the fe-. tus, and some less serious, but still significant abnormalities in infants arc also thought to be related to these drugs. The placenta or afterbirth is separated from the mother, by a membrane that is able to determine what materials in Ihe mother's blood will get through to the baby's circulation. Once thought to be an almost perfect barrier to noxious or harmful items, it is now known to allow passage of many drugs and chemicals lhat arc detrimental to the health of the fetus. Alcohol and caffcicn can cross the placenta. Caffeine cannot be metabolized by the fetus at any time, and alcohol only when the baby is close to term. These drugs probably have a direct adverse effect on the infant's hormonal and metabolic mechanisms and can result in anything from a miscarriage or seriously dam aged child to a less-than-pcr- fect baby. Nicotine does not cross the barrier. It causes damage by changingh the oxygen and carbon monoxide levels in teh mother's blood, and the fetus, for whom the environment is critical, may be unable to thrive with this burden. Both nicotine and caffeine can damage the delicate boundary between mother and baby, and marked changes are seen when the ubilical cord is examined wiht a microscope. All three drugs can affect the development of the baby in an indirect fashion, and some believe lhat there may be an additive effect or interaction if more than one drug is present. Each of the drugs influence the mother's complex i biochemistry in many ways, and althoughm the mother may be able to withstand the insults, the delicate fetus may not, and damage can easily occur. The concerned obstetrician has good reason for advising his maternity patients to stop using coffee, cigarettes, and liquor. It is probably best if these are avoided when the pregnancy is planned, as damage may occur before the woman knows she is expecting- .

It's a course she's taking at Fraser Valley College. Before she decided to enroll at the college, Mardee's formal education ended before the completion of grade nine in Ontario. She recalls working long hours as a waitress...and longing for something better. "The pay was all right, but the days were too long," she reports. "I knew I could perform better at a more rewarding job, so I started looking for a way to improve my qualifications." The first step was the GED (General Educational- Development) test at FVC's Mission campus. Instructor Richard' Cooke helped Mardee study the subjects she needed to earn a high school equivalency certificate. That certificate was Mar- dee's ticket into the FVC office careers program. When she was accepted into that program, Mardee felt like a world-beater; no learning task or new skills, regardless of complexity, seemed too difficult. After seven months of training, her attitude is more realistic, but still very optimistic. It's hard to imagine how much detail this course covers," she says. "Subjects Include bookkeeping, typing, other business machines,, modern office procedures, and personal dynamics." Grammatical excellence and clarity of expression are emphasized, because business letters sometimes represent transactions in which subtle differences of meaning can involve thousands of dollars...and secretaries have to be editors, too. How are things shaping up for this year's office careers class? About 75 people enroll in the program each year, and in spite of the rigours of the courses, program coordinator Bev Harnett estimates that 90 percent will earn their certificate. She attributes this high success rate to the fact that every student's, program .is individually designed to give that person the required skills at the level employers require. ,.:■■'■" The average time top complete the stenographic course is ten months, but "each student works at her,or his own speed. As soon as one student graduates, that place in class is offered to someone on the waiting list, so registrations are taken ail year long. The course is so popular that the waiting list is now about four months long. Some students from this year's class have already been recruited by local businesses...hired before training was complete because they were doing so well. For those who stay to the end, the certificate will be a , real advantage in the competition for jobs. But there's another advantage, Mardee Wylie points out: "Like no other experience, returning to school is a challenge, and a reward in itself."
