mmmm -■■^■■•p CHAIRMAN WILL PHONE MC GEER Situation at Aldergrove prompts board action By GREG THOMAS MURRAYVILLE — Amid allegations of stalling, and indifferent treatment by provincial officials, the Langley school board voted Monday to take the battle for a South Aldergrove school past the letter writing stage. Board chairman Kaye Armstrong will make a phone rail. Trustee Brian Westwood moved that Armstrong personally telephone education minister Pat McGeer in response to a request for action by two correspondents at the board's regular meeting Monday. Peter Laws, a teacher at Parkside Centennial school, suggested the board pressure McGeer to speed the construction of the school, or persuade the ministry of education to change its policy on school construction. Langley Teachers' Association president Terry Eastman also wrote the board to express the teachers' support for its efforts. All three elementary schools in the Aldergrove area could go on shift next year if the new school isn't built on time. Several classes arc already being housed in portables at both Parkside and Aldergrove elementary. "The situation in Aldergrove is getting quite acute." commented Westwood during the debate. Westwood's complaint of shoddy treatment stemmed from McGeer's failure to respond to three previous requests for meetings. The minister cancelled a re cently planned rendezvous with the board in favor of a conference of educational administrators in Toronto, and has not contacted them since. Secretary-treasurer Svcin Urdahl announced Monday that working drawings of the new school will bc available for tenders by January 23 at the latest.

Experiencing the most marked increase will be the owners of commercial and industrial proper- tics. This is the forecast made by Langley district fathers in council here. Aid. Bill Blair, himself a farmer, said he received quite a pleasant surprise when he received his new assessment notice in the mail last week. His taxes will bc going down under the new assessment schedule which will see properties and buildings evaluated for taxation purposes at full currcni market value. The mill rate, to be determined according to the district municipality's needs, will be applied to a percentage of this actual value. For residential properties percentage has been set at 15, for commercial 25. and for industry 30 percent. A brochure published by the B.C. Assessment Authority entitled 'Your new assessments - a fairer way to share' explains that "higher assessments do not necessarily mean higher property taxes. Higher assessments could mean a lower mill rate if the municipal budget (taxes) remains the same." Langley's mill rate will bc set by council after the 1978 budget is finalized. Budget has to bc adopted by January 16, Sabotage rulechout in pump failure INAUGURAL ADDRESS DeJong calls for expansion of local govt. CLEARBROOK — In a two page inaugural address Mayor Harry DeJong of Matsqui municipality called Monday night for expansion of municipal services to keep up with explosive growth in the area. Topping the list of services to be upgraded in the new year was the municipal water supply, which the mayor hopes will be bolstered by a cross-river-tie-in with the water mainlines of Mission district. In addition to the schematic speech by DeJong. a packed public gallery also witnessed the inauguration of three elected aldermen, one of whom is a newcomer to the political arena. Alderman Henry Wiebe, who was elected for the first time on November 19, joined aldermen Christine Lamb and Ray Kirkwood in taking the oath of office before returning officer Brian Strong. Other highlights of the statutory first meeting of council included a scripture reading by Rev, Peter Van Egmond; speeches by all elected officials; distribution of the 1978 provisional budget; appointments of aldermen to cabinet positions and a performance of popular Christmas songs by The Happy Gang. The mayor's speech dealt primarily with the growth of Matsqui and outlined ways in which council will deal with increasing population statistics. "Council must take some positive steps in order to cope with the growth...to be successful in our commercial and industrial expansion, special emphasis must be on centralization, to provide these essential services at an economical price." he stated. In outlining five of the major policy areas open for review in the new year, DeJong touched first on water supplies for the district. He noted that a joint water board has been established with Mission district, and other electoral areas in the Dewdney Alouette regional district. "A tie-in of mainlines with Mission's present supply could offset some of the financing cost, especially during the winter months when we could benefit from gravity flow," DeJong said. The Mission water system is supplied from a higher elevation than Matsqui. therefore, water would flow into Matsqui without the construction of water towers or pumping stations. The mayor also called for action on the upgrading of the district's sewage treatment systems. This follows the completion of a study into Matsqui's sewer requirements by the engineering firm of Dayton and Knight. Fire protection also rated high on DeJong's list of 1978 priorities. He said the urban area of Matsqui is becoming more centralized and indicated that this could present a fire protection problem unless the department is expanded to meet the demand. DeJong stated council should move toward a partially paid fire department. "Savings on fire insurance to the average home owner would be at least three times more than the additional cost invovled," he declared. The fourth and fifth points of DeJong's address dealt with an overall plan for the municipality and the continued upgrading of roads. He said an overall plan of development for the district is essential to ensure quality of life in Matsqui and to keep municipal costs to a minimum. "The community plan now being prepared by staff is well under way. When completed and reviewed by council," said the mayor, "it will be made available to the public for their input." In addition to the five major policy areas DeJong wants to review in 1978, his speech also contained segments dealing with the construction of a civic centre; increased assistance from Victoria on policing costs; holding the . line on property tax increases and the possible reactivation of the lower mainland diking and drainage committee. He said the first phase of development in the civic centre 'Tip' page 2 LANGLEY — A large portion of Aldergrove experienced a serious shortage of water Sunday. The problem developed after water in the tower near Spccdies corner dropped below the normal level. The drop in the water level was caused by a burned out high tension cable, leading to a pump which pushes water up into the tower. "We at first contemplated sonic kind of sabotage," said Aid. Stan Fraser Tuesday, adding that foul play was later ruled out after clo'ser inspection of the cable and pump transformer. He said closer inspection made it obvious that the cable had simply worn out. "The biggest problem was that it was discovered on Saturday," stated Fraser. The alderman, who is in charge of public utilities and enterprises for Langley district, said it can be very difficult to get Hydro to move promptly on weekends. He revealed this is a problem which should not recur once the municipality has installed its new "control system". The system is a computerized alarm system which will bc hooked into an electronic panel in the radio room of Langley's RCMP detachment. "It will signal low water before it gets dangerously low," said Fraser. "At the moment its sort of a manual check." The utilities chairman stated that all water towers and pumping stations in the district will be hooked into the new control panel. He said it is necessary for public works staff at the municipal hall to learn of water shortages within fifteen minutes ofthe time the problem develops, if reasonable service is to be provided. Pickets remain around B.C. Tel station "We are the Happy Gang" la Ihe song of this musical group from Clearbrook. They sang Christmas songs at Monday's Inaugural meeting in Matsqui council chambers. ALDERGROVE— Pickets remain active around BC Telephone headquarters in Aldergrove, although company security is not as visible here as it was last week. Last week all locks on the building were changed and security guards patrolled the area around the building. Meanwhile. BC Tel has announced that it will apply to the BC Supreme Court for an injunction to stop "excessive picketing" at its installations around the province. The announcement Sunday by the company's chief executive officer, Gordon McFarlane, followed a rash of vandalism incidents suffered by the company since the strike-lockout began.

For details, see advertisement on page 5. The strike-lockout has, in a very short time, become one of the most bitter union- management confrontations to spread across the province in a number of years. Early Saturday a security guard in a BC Tel building in Abbotsford was injured when a rock was thrown through a window in the . building. The incident followed extensive vandalism to Abbotsford telephone equipment the previous week. In Nanaimo, company officials complain of being intimidated and physically abused by employees on the picket line. The job action is to support union officials in their negotiation of a new contract with the company. The last union contract expired one year ago, the present stumblingblock in negotiations is over the issue of sub-contracted work on BC Tel equipment and property. The union wants more restrictions on work contracted out to sub tradesmen rather than company employees, while the company wants greater managerial freedom written into the "contract work clause". lona Campagnolo Skeena MP visits this week ALDERGROVE — lona Campagnolo. minister of state for fitness and amateur sport, will be the guest speaker at a chamber of commerce luncheon to bc held here on Friday.

Library to close for Mall move ALDERGROVE — A spokesperson for the Aldergrove Public Library has announced that the library will bc closed Wednesday. Thursday and Friday. Brenda Ross said the library was notified Tuesday that it would bc moving into the new Aldergrove Centre mall immediately. As a result, a rush closure was piaccd on the library to expedite the move. The switch involves transporting seven to eight thousand books, plus shelves and other equipment. The books must also bc shelved in the new mall location. The library will be situated in the southeast corner of the new shopping mall, across from Williams nursery. Ross expressed apologies on behalf of the staff for Ihe short notice of the move, and said it is hoped the new branch location will bc open on Saturday. 2A THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1977 "Tip of iceberg' Continued from front page construction schedule should be underway in 1978. A conceptual plan of the new facility will be presented to council before Christmas. In the 1978 provisional budget, which was presented at the meeting. DeJong said there is an ■8.75 percent increase in total expenditures over 1977. This is only .75 percent above the anti inflation board guidelines set by Ottawa. He revealed the new assessment values established this year in Victoria may cause the mill rale to drop in Matsqui, provided all property assessment values have increased under the new system. If not all the assessments increase, however, there may be little if any change in the rate. Policing also came under some scrutiny in the mayor's address. District is not exempt MURRAYVILLE — A proposed amendment to Langley district's mobile homes bylaw was rejected, for the time being, by councilmen here this week. Aid. Elford Nundal had suggested that the bylaw be amended "to look after public proper- tics" after a request had been received at municipal hall from a senior citizens group in Brookswood. The pensioners wanted to park a mobile home on the former Mennonite church property which they now lease from the township. They wanted the home as a residence for a caretaker and cited possible vandalism as the reason for their request. According to the existing bylaw, however, the seniors do not qualify for a mobile residence on the property. Nundal suggested that perhaps the district, as the owners of the land in question, should bc exempt from adhering to the bylaw ruling. On a motion by Aid. Bill Blair, however, the matter was tabled. He noted that Victoria has undertaken a study of policing in B.C.. and this could mean an increase in financial assistance from Victoria. DeJong said, that as a Dutch immigrant, who journeyed to Canada after Holland was liberated at the end of The Second Great Insanity, he is pleased and grateful that he is now able to serve his country within a democratic political forum. "Through co-operation and hard work we have been able to bring Matsqui back on a sound financial track. Matsqui has probably been a quieter place than before, however, we have worked for greater efficiency and productivity and will continue to do so in 1978," said DeJong at the conclusion of his address. After the mayor's address, the aldermen were invited to make brief statements. The highlights of these short speeches included many rounds of congratulations between the elected and reelected officials, and a few statements of unity and progress. Aid. Doug Taylor said, "There's a lot to be done in Matsqui and it's going to take everyone's opinion to meet the growth wc have had." He compared 1977 to an iceberg, saying that council only scratched the surface of the work that needs to be done. Ray Kirkwood, who was just re-elected for another two year term on council stated, "They have been frustrating times...1 believe we have really laid the groundwork for a number of projects." He expressed hope that all the projects would reach satisfactory and productive conclusions in 1978. Newly elected Aid. Henry Wiebe said he could not add much to what had already been said, other than to quote a portion of the Christian scriptures he feels sums up his attitude toward the year ahead. He referred to St. Matthew, chapter five, verses 34 through 37. The verses discourage foul language and needless debate, in favor of firm decisions to the affirmative or negative, depending on the circumstances. &■■€• Teacher fails to appear calls him onto carpet mWMiwa, WXtzht,-.-//- ::'■;:'■■-.'■< HJlP ,\ •■•■■••.■•. •• • ..;. . ■'■ ■'■■ Mayor Harry DeJong of Matsqui unchallenged In the November takes his oath of office to begin 19 civic elections and was elected his second term as chief magi- by acclamation to his second strate in the district. DeJong went term. MURRAYVILLE — Langley Teachers' Association president Terry Eastman could face disciplinary action as a result of his failure to attend Monday's meeting of the Langley school board. Trustee Brian Westwood said Eastman showed "a complete lack of regard for the board, the public's representative." He warned that the LTA president would regret what he termed "a bad mistake." Eastman was requested to attend the meeting Monday to explain the reasoning behind a widely publicized letter he wrote to protest the introduction of a new reporting system, first used two weeks ago. Trustee David Bell, who first requested the appearance, was expected to question Eastman's motives in writing the letter during the recent civic election campaign. Eastman, in his first year as LTA president, indicated he would attend the meeting, provided the result would be "good for education in Langley." A number of other members of the LTA executive attended, but none offered an explanation for the president's absence. Eastman's letter questioned whether teachers would have time to implement the new report card, and suggested that courses offered in elementary schools might have to be altered in order to apply to the new reporting system. The traditional A - E grading system, scapped several years ago in a wave of reforms, was reinstated in the new card, along with the more recently used (good-satisfactory-needs improvement) grading system. A graph was added at the bottom of the report card to show parents how their child compared to the rest of the class. Trustee Peggy Douglas attempted to have the teacher's hearing removed from the agenda before the meeting began, claiming that four trustees had attended a meeting of the board's planning committee also attended by Eastman. "The gentleman in question not only appeared before the majority of the board members, he has also been questioned by the administration," argued Douglas. Cabinet appointments made in Matsqui CLEARBROOK — Appointments were announced Monday night for positions in the cabinet of the town council in Matsqui district. The cabinet of council is comprised of seven committees, and each committee must have a chairman who is said to hold the portfolio for that committee. Topping the list of committees is the management committee. This body looks after administration of the town hall, financing of projects and services carried out by council and the hiring and firing of personnel. DeJong named himself chairman of this committee with aldermen Chris Lamb, Jim McDonald and Ray Kirkwood as the general membership. The development and planning committee will also be chaired by DeJong, using the whole council as his committee. Public works becomes the portfolio of Jim McDonald, once again with the whole council as general membership. Recreation and festivities committee will be headed up by alderwoman Lamb, with aldermen Doug Taylor and Henry Wiebe as members. Finally the union negotiating committee' is to be chaired by municipal clerk Brian Strong with Lamb, DeJong and McDonald as members. Other appointments announced by the mayor Monday night included the appointment of Lamb to the position of deputy mayor. This means that Lamb will hold the second highest office in Matsqui. and will be responsible for all mayoral duties in DeJong's absence. DeJong also named himself. Lamb and McDonald as members of the court of revision. Counting up the committee positions and appointments to outside boards, the heaviest workload in 1978 will be borne by DeJong who holds a total of 17 positions. Lamb is second with 16 positions. The lightest workload will be shared by Friesen, Taylor and Wiebe, each of whom have eight appointments to committee and outside boards. McDonald was given ten such appointments and Kirkwood was appointed to nine. Lamb Deputy Chief Magistrate CLEARBROOK — Alderwoman Chris Lamb was appointed deputy chief magistrate of Matsqui district Monday night at a statutory first meeting of council. The meeting was the first at which newly elected alderman Henry Wiebe took his seat on the council. As part of the inaugural ceremonies, Mayor Harry DeJong made appointments to cabinet positions in the district government. Lamb's duties include service as a member of various committees, and chairmanship of the committee on recreation and festivities. Her most important appointment, however, was to the position of deputy mayor. This means that Lamb will chair all meetings of council to which DeJong can not attend. It also means that she will carry out all administrative mayoral duties whenever DeJong is absent for one reason or another. The deputy mayor's position last year was shifted to various different aldermen on a two month basis. This year, however, DeJong decided that more stability was required in the office and he choose Lamb as the aider- woman who would hold the office for the next year. This is Lamb's second term on council and her second year as a member of the regional district board. board "What the superintendent discussed with Eastman was not relevant," countered Westwood. The Douglas motion was overruled. If some form of punitive action should be taken against Eastman, there will probably be a dispute over the board's right to summon the president. "As an employee, they can request me to appear before the board, but as president of a teacher's association, legally, they don't have that right." The LTA president now awaits possible punitive action. "I would consider (punitive action) as appearing to be part of a consistent plan of harassment of myself as president, and other association officers," Eastman commented. Semester timetable combination introduced MURRAYVILLE — Local secondary schools will unveil a new- system of timetabling next semester. School trustee Ed Klassen, chairman of the Langley secondary education committee, an- nounced Monday that all present systems will be phased out in favor of a combination semester • 10 month timetable. The new timetable will put all non-academic elective courses on the semester system, while academic courses will be taught through the course of the full school year. The chanpe is expected to result in more emphasis on academic subjects. Under the semester system now in use in most local secondary schools, students are required to complete half their annual course load, four subjects, by January, then begin the remainder of the courses. Educators have complained the system doesn't allow enough time for comprehensive subjects such as algebra and English that depend heavily on independent after-hours work by the student. A poll of parents taken to determine the most popular method of scheduling classed proved inconclusive. Those fam* iliar with the 10 month system indicated their approval, while those whose children attend scmestcred courses expressed, their satisfaction with the system. Parents at D.W. Poppy, where a 'quarter' system is in use, voiced their support for it. At Aldergrove. where parents opted to retain the semester system, teachers are meeting tonight to being plans for the change. "We're already making some moves at our school to implement the new system," said Norm Sherritt, the school's principal. The Aldergrove principal, a member of the district's timetabling committee, confessed surprise at the results of the parents' poll. "I (recommended the new system) before 1 found out the parents were so strong on the semester system."

March 25, 1977 In tiie first quarter of 1977, nearly four out of every ten unemployed had been looking for work lor 14 weeks or longer. - Statistics Canada Despite the Liberal government's attempts to hide its economic mismanagement behind the threat of Quebec separation, more and more Canadians are realizing that the economy, and specifically unemployment, is the real critical issue facing the nation. This new recognition might be summarized: the way to make Canada work as a nation is to put the nation back to work. In the past, it has been difficult to get excited about unemployment or the plight of the jobless. This has in large part been due to a number of long-standing myths. Let's take a look at some of these myths in the light of a new-found 'Honor that it is, I'm thinkin1 I'd like to swap my top priorityship for a job' Comment The Aldergrove Star 4A WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7,1977' Constructive culture We've said it before, and would like to reiterate: one dollar invested in a cultural program which provides people with constructive outlets for their energies and abilities is often better-spent than five dollars for more police, more jails, more drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. There is still a need for the programs which administer to people after they've already gotten Into trouble but providing people with positive alternatives should be assigned a high priority, too.

We cannot question the principle that girls and boys have equal opportunity, but in this case Inequality should bc sought in terms of girls' and boys' leagues, not teams consisting of a mixture. It's high time that the most fundamental of all human rights is recognized: males and females are different. If insistences that they are not are to bc continued, we should then bc looking ahead to such progressive human rights movements as unisexual public washrooms and changerooms.

Bennett heavy- handed, says Stephens VANCOUVER - "The negativism of Premier Bennett and his lack of faith in the economy of British Columbia renders him unfit for his job", said Vic Stephens newly elected leader of the Progressive Conservative party of British Columbia. Speaking at a board of officers meeting on Saturday Stephens said that "British Columbia is rich in resources beyond our wildest dreams and our people are strong and vital and it's time we told the premier and the whole world that wc believe our future is greater than our past." Referring to Bennett's key note address to the annual Socred convention, Stephens said that "the premier is naive if he really belives that the rest of Canada will shape up just because he demands it to. Blaming the other provinces for the failure of the British Columbia economy is simply a refusal to accept responsibility on his own shoulders where it belongs. I don't hear Premier Loughecd crying about the failure of Alberta's economy and I believe British Columbia is every bit as strong or even stronger than Alberta." "The way to effect a change in the fiscal and economic policies of the other provinces is by example, not by demand. Let's get our own house in order in British Columbia and show the other provinces how well it works," Stephens said. While agreeing with the premier's remarks that the cost of government should be limited and more money left in the hands of the taxpayer, Stephens said, "the present British Columbia government is saying one thing and doing the opposite." He noted especially the "heavy sales tax and personal income tax increases" imposed by the Bennett government. "It takes no financial genius to balance a budget." Stephens said, "only a heavy hand in the taxpayers . pocket." Trouble is, everyone thinks about himself, only I think about me appreciation of an old problem:' MYTH - "There are plenty of jobs for those who want to work." Across the country, according to Statistics Canada, there are only four vacant jobs of any description for every hundred unemployed workers. In B.C., that figure drops to three openings for every hundred job hunters. The fact is that if every job vacancy could be filled across Canada, our unemployment rate would still exceed 8 percent. MYTH - "Our unemployment statistics are grossly Inflated." The opposite is true. While 878.000 Canadians are officially recognized by the government as being without work, this is in fact a conservative figure. The unemployment statistics do not include the many thousands who aren't counted among the unemployed because they haven't yet found a first job to lose, and you'll see why the actual number of jobless is well over one million, and is continuing to grow. MYTH - "The unemployed are well looked after by government." While it's true that no-one in Canada need starve for want of a job, it's also true that unemployment insurance is no substitute for a regular income. The average U.I.C. payment is $98 a week - hardly the kind of income to take one's family skiing in Banff. MYTH - "Unemployment hurts only those out of work." High unemployment is cheating all of us out of a more prosperous Canada. In 1976. our economy lost $2.1 billion in tax revenue for each per cent of the workforce unemployed - or an incredible $17 billion at current jobless levels. The Conference Board of Canada says that we lost $520 for each man, woman and child in 1976 because of economic losses due to unemployment. On top of that loss, add the $500 million in U.I.C. payments we could save for every percent reduction in unemployment. "",'', i We hear little of the human toll ! of unemployment - increased alcoholism, wife-beating, child abuse and attempted suicides. The list is a grim one, and one whose costs all society has to pay. Nearly 700,000 families in Canada have suffered the stigma of unemployment in a society where hard work is a virtue. Of more general concern is the damage being done to our work ethic. The continued frustration of being willing to work when there is no work to be found destroys initiative. More than one half of our unemployed are under 25 years of age. How are their attitudes towards work and society in general being affected? MYTH - "High unemployment Is relatively new to Canada, and can't be helped because of the world situation." Again, the facts speak for themselves. For the past IS years. Canada's rate of unemployment has been one of the highest in the industrialized world. France, Japan, Britain, Sweden and Germany averaged an unemployment rate of 1.8 percent from 1962-1973. Canada's average was 5.1 percent in the same period. The most significant reason for this has been the Liberal governments' policy of fighting inflation by reining in the economy, causing as a side effect waves of ever -higher unemployment. The end result, as all but the Trudeau Cabinet can see, has been both' high inflation and unemployment. Countries like West Germany and New Zealand have traditionally had close to full employment, yet have suffered little in the way of inflation. We Canadians need think back only to the mid-1960s, when we enjoyed an economic boom that brought us close to full employment with minimal inflation. A solution would be a new budget this fall, with tax cuts for middle and low income earners. Economists agree that this would lead to increased consumer spending, which would encourage our manufacturing sector to invest in job creation. MYTH-"My Job Is sate". Is it? In nine years of "economic leadership" the Trudeau Liberals have increased unemployment from 4.7 percent to 8.1 percent. The rolls of the unemployed are filled with people whose jobs were "safe". This coming winter will be a bad one for unemployment. Maybe it's time you started worrying too. Ed. Note - Mr. Leggatt is the NDP member of Parliament in New Westminster). ByMELVINMADDOCKS The question being rather solemly asked these days in all the best identity-crisis cirles is: What constitutes a man? And in case you haven't been paying attention, the going answer is not: John Wayne. "Farewell to Machismo," cried Pete Hamill in a front-running essay, thereby earning himself a place beside Betty Friedan, Bella Abzug, and other deflners of the New Manliness on a PBS documentary, "To Be a Man," which aggressively sponsors gentleness, even vulnerability. "Now That Men Can Cry ..." reads a headline in the New York Times, hailing what is supposed Epidermal macabre Indelicate is he who loathes The aspect of his fleshy clothes The flying fabric stitched on bone, The vesture of Ihe skeleton, The garment neither fur nor hair, The cloak of evil and despair, The veil long violated by Caresses ofthe hand and eye. Yet such is my unseemliness: I hate my epidermal dress, The savage blood's obscenity, the rags of my anatomy. And willingly would 1 dispense With false accoutrements of sense. To sleep immodestly, a most Incarnadine and carnal ghost. Theodore Roethke to be the ultimate privilege of the New Manliness. We are all for gentleness, and we have absolutely nothing against a good cry — in fact, we've been having one for years. And that's the point we want to make. Men — especially American men — arc superb sobbers, so good at their act that nobody, including themselves, has noticed. Why not start at the top? Richard Nixon, a man usually identified as old-school macho ("When the going gets tough, the tough get going") was a brilliant weeper, from the famous Checkers speech to the David Frost interviews — a masterpiece of emotional brinksmanship. Lyndon Johnson wiped away a manful mist or two in his time. President Carter raised a tear over Bert Lance. This is the time of year when ten-best lists are made. It would bc the easiest thing in the world to draw up a ranking of the Ten Best Male Criers. In the entertainment business alone one would have to consider Jack Paar, Danny Thomas, Jerry Lewis — and these are the comedians! — plus almost any male vocalist from Al Jolson on, as well as at least half the actors who win an Oscar, an Emmy, or a Tony. A group award would have to bc made to all the losers in all the locker rooms, annually shedding enough tears inlo their huge, taped hands to float a Greek oil tanker. Talk about your Guinnes Book of Records! The tougher they are, the harder they cry. In fact, John Wayne's squint and choking voice —• "Must-a got somcthin' in my eye" — is a perfect case of the American OUR COMMONS COMMITS HAS ARRIVED AT1WE CONCLUSION., ...1WTHE PAaiMENTARy SVSTEM COULD 68 MORE EFFICIENT... ...AND COVER MOREQRJUND DURIN&1HEIR DAILY SESSION.., ...lF"TH&y UMrreDTHE LEN(3TW0F THEIR SPEECHES. genius for having your tears and your toughness too. "Now That Men Can Cry ..." — don't make your poor salt- soaked neighborhood bartender laugh! The shiny eye. the quivering baritone is everywhere. Snapshots of their children, college reunions. World War II, or a bad day in the office — almost anything can make a good man cry. "Reduced to tears" is the wrong phrase — a man and his tears are so available. Men have been outcrying women and children for years. The secret of self-pity. Nobody can compete with a full-grown adult male at self-pity. In his latest novel, "Madder Music," Peter De Vries accurately describes male tears and the usually unspoken philosophy behind them: "He wiped his eyes, blew his nose .'...Yes, self-pity. He had never seen a lot wrong with feeling sorry for yourself. If you don't, who will?" If men are really the sob- brothers of the Western world, how have they fooled everybody all these years into thinking they're repressed stoics, needing women's liberation (or something) to liberate them? The answer lies in the words invariably spoken, just as the voice breaks into the first sob: '.'1 know men don't cry, but...." Daily millions of men do lip-service to this master myth — "Men don't cry" — even as their eyes contradict it. And so now, with our touching left-over-from- the-60s faith in letting it all hang out. wc are actually advising men to cry. We might as well advise Niagra to fall. When one considers how much crying men have done in a "Men-don't-cry" culture, one shudders at this prospect — while running to invest one's life-savings in paper handkerchiefs. The saddest thing about salvation-through-tcars is that, once again, instant therapy has been applied to the complicated business of being human. It's like the Happy Smile, only wet. Still, neither common sense nor the evidence will stop this soppy Zeitgeist. The same people who, only yesterday, were promising thai Sexual Liberation would cure everything from hangnails to World War 111 now are pronv-ing the same thing for male tears. And nothing will do but that everybody must be converted — until the next panacea comes along. It's almost enough to make you weep. -Christian Science Monitor Women's lib Some perspicacious readers of this column, I'm sure, have detected from time to time, a whiff, a mere essence, of what the Women's Lib movement, in its love for inaccurate epithets, has termed male chauvinism. There is usually a pig thrown in there too,! for added effect, although what a pig has to do with either malencss or chauvinism is a mystery to me. Malencss is a matter of plumbing. Chauvinism, in its true meaning, is super- nationalism to the point of idiocy. Pigs can also be female, and I've met some lady pigs. Therefore, as people say when they're trying to stall for time, the slam "male, chauvinist pig" leaves me completely unmoved, even a little scornful. If you look carefully you can see a definite possibility that if I wasn't careful my lip would curl, ever so slightly. Perhaps you're thinking "Oh here we go again; one of those looks into the murky depths of Smiley's mind. And just when we think he's committed himself to something, he'll slide out from under, and tell us he really loves women, and thinks the Liberation movement is the greatest forward step for humanity in 10 zillion years." Well, you're wrong. I've just spent a weekend with my daughter, who has read about 800 books on Women's Lib, and comes out with such unadulterated and misinformed garbage about men and women that I have to fight back in the interests of truth and objectivity. I emerge from these sessions sore and raw and bleeding, but by George, I still have my heels dug in as she tries to drag me into the 21st century. To put it very bluntly and briefly, she makes me sick. She blurts out all sorts of hairy and half-formed generalizations, which I'm supposed to accept as gospel. For example. She says, airily, "Women have been oppressed all through history." This is just after I've fed one of her kids, and got the other one off to sleep by reading him six books of fairy tales. She is lying on a couch watching television and she and her mother are drinking tea and eating cherry cake and cheese, prepared and brought to them by guess who. Her mother, who is about as oppressed as Attila the Hun, nods sagely. I blow up. "Crapl" I get so mad that I'm reduced to this kind of language. Poor show. "Come on, Dad. You know perfectly well that women have never been allowed to make the crucial decisions, that they've never had control of the purse strings." "Now just a minute there, you rotten kid. Just hold it right there, Miss Smartass. My father was never allowed to make a crucial decision in his life. My mother made them all. And he came home and forked over his pittance to my mother and she ran the whole show, financially." "That's right. Kim" commented my wife, who changes sides as it suits her. "Your Dad is the same. He can't make a decision and if I didn't look after the money, we'd bc in the poor house. I even have to make out the income tax. because he's so stupid. One year he did it. and he was out $2,000, which we had to pay." This kind of support I don't need. Fortunately. Kim, like every other turkey painted into a corner, rounded on her mother. "Why didn't you get a job when we were children? she queried, for no particular reason, except to hassle her mother into a sense of inferiority. ' "Because I didn't need one. I was married to a man who worked 60 hours a week to provide a living for his wife and children, of whom you were one and don't you forget it. And wc had a lot less then than you have now." This was one of those big swipes women can make, which simultaneously take a crack at the daughter's husband, remind her that she's been a burden, establish the fact that we coped better than she does, and tries to get me on her side, two against one. It didn't work. I've been at this internecine warfare too long to choose up sides. I like guerilla warfare better, sniping from the weeds. The old lady went on to. show that she'd had jobs: doctor's receptionist; kindergarten teacher; church organist; pro tern editor, in which she covered a murder-suicide case. Kim was getting a litte desperate. "Yabbut, Mom, that was the old days. Look at you now. You're just a houswife." This is supposed to be the crushing epithet, the one that makes you put your head in your hands and weep. "You're right, I've never been fulfilled," But the Old Lady's getting tough, too. She retorted: "Yes!', And that's exactly what 1 want to' be. I like my sewing. I enjoy cooking gourmet meals. My piano students are a pleasure. Your Dad has lots of insurance." Kim was fairly speechless, but' blazing inside. Something had' gone wrong with the whole - discussion. "But how can you? I'm going to —- No man is going to' —They try to—You have to —." ' By this time, the two oppressed ; women were talking so loudly and ' angrily that I couldn't even hear,' on the late sports news, whether' the Leafs, bless their erratic souls' had won or lost. I tiptoed off to bed, on my way checking that the sons ofthe slave' mother and the grandsons of the ' downtrodden gran.iie were prop- ■' erly covered for the night, and dreaming of the sweet days when ' they could revenge themselves on ' those two women who were trying * to destroy them by making them • into little gentlemen. ' THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1977 5A BOB WENMAN M.P. The R.C.M.P must be given bock responsibility for security mutters During the recent uproar over national security most editorial writers and members of Mr. Trudeau's cabinet have been using the term RCMP very indiscriminately. The RCMP's Security Services Branch performed the alleged illegalities. Its Director-General is a civilian and its members are a mixed bag of cilivians and RCMP regulars. The Security Services Head does not even report to the number one RCMP officer, the Commissioner, but to the Solicitor General and in some instances only to the P.M., the individual who appoints him. Along with ministerial responsibility, the civilian control of intelligence and * surveillance, activities has been the focus of the Tory party in the security debate. The Progressive Conservative Party wants national security responsibilities restored to the regular RCMP and away from the civilian Security Services and the Solicitor General's Security Planning and Analysis Branch. Back in 1969 Mr. Trudeau said "The Security Service, under the Commissioner of the RCMP, will bc increasingly separate in structure and civilian in nature." That statement identiftcs the root of our problem today; Mr. Trudeau's deliberate move to strip the RCMP of responsibility for national security. Until this trend is halted our security troubles will continue unchecked. ♦ * * Housing is this week's topic from the Committee suggesting alternatives to existing government programs. Dudley Horton of Surrey presents a strong argument for a federal government withdrawal from the Housing sector. Although not necessarily containing my point of view I would appreciate any comments you have to make on the first half of Dudley's paper. * * * ■ HOUSING The difficulty in formulating a housing policy is trying to arrive at what is good for the nation as a whole versus the individual in need of a home. Where do we place our priorities? I do not believe any of my tax dollars, nor any other taxpayers' dollars should be used to support any program that does not benefit all, and I emphasis 100 percent of all Canadians. Therefore, I do not support the following: Bilingualism, teaching French, agriculture subsidies, marketing boards, corporate subsidies, mining, machinery, write-offs etc. Subsidized ferry systems, fisheries management, forest management, Olympic stadiums in Quebec, St. Lawrence Seaway, airline and railway subsidies and others too numerous to mention. Therefore how can I support any program of subsidized interest or housing. If a hospital in Prince George B.C. needs 5 more rooms, then the people it serves must raise the money and build them, not call on the rest of the nation for help. If there are not enough houses in Prince George B.C. then the local builders will have to build them or sleep in a tent. If we stray from this hard line philosophy we begin the irreversible trend to socialism and it is sad that it starts out in disguise as "trying to help our neighbor". Therefore I recommend that we abandon all housing subsidies, rental subsidies, rapid transit funding and leave all of these to local and provincial governments and free enterprise. C.M.H.C. should get out of the housing business and money lending and all facets it deals in except; as a quality control media, safety standards and minimum building standards and should do research into new materials and technology and energy saving devices and methods. The Federal Government should stay out of the funding of rapid transit systems. As a taxpayer why should my tax dollar go toward rapid transit in major urban centres. What benefit does a resident of Penticton' get from a rapid transit system in Montreal or Vancouver. Price of serviced land has risen 100 percent since 1971. Some of the reasons are as follows and I can only speak for B.C. 95 percent of all of the land in the province is owned by the crown, and I believe that a large percentage of this should be surveyed and placed on the market for sale to Canadians of 5 years citizenship and should The wayside chapel revert to the crown if resold within 5 years after purchase. Conservationists and ecologists (the no growth faction of our society) are totally unreasonable in their demands to retain, by legislation, land for agriculture use at some future and unknown date. Thousands of acres of B.C. arc trapped in the A.L.R. that are totally uneconomical to farm, resulting in land outside the A.L.R. demanding unrealistic prices. Due to recent surveys municipalities do not want to become bedroom communities because cost of social services to most single family. dwellings far exceeds tax returns, therefore put tremendous restrictions, delays, impost fees and require cadillac services onto subdivisions for housing. * * * The joys of modern transportation. I had a meeting in Ottawa which ran late so 1 missed my Ottawa to Toronto flight by 5 minutes. The next flight, an hour later, I caught but the Air Traffic Controllers slowed their work down. A one hour flight took Vh hours. With all this my Toronto to Vancouver Air Canada connection had already left. A knowledgeable Air Canada employee informed me that there were no more flights, of any description, to Vancouver that day. Of course after checking with CP Air 1 was told they had a flight: great! - but because of the slowdown it would bc delayed. Finally 1 touched down in Vancouver but my ride wasn't aware of the foul-ups in Eastern Canada and wasn't there to meet me. After making several phone calls I got hold of my son, Ken, and an hour and a half after arriving at Vancouver International 1 was leaving it. This is not an unusual story for Western M.P. but one which I hope I do not have to be the main character in for awhile. I hope you have better luck on your next flight. My get up and go has got up and went How do I know my youth is all spent. My get-up and go has got up and went. But in spite of it all I am able to grin. When 1 recall where my "Get- up" has been. Old age is golden so I've heard it said. But sometimes I wonder when I get into bed, With my ears in a drawer and my teeth in a cup, My eyes on a table until I wake up. 'Ere sleep dims my eyes I say to myself, Is there any thing else 1 should lay on the shelf? And I am happy to say as I close my door My friends are the same, perhaps even more. When I was young my slippers were red, I would kick up my heels right over my head. When I got older my slippers were blue, But still I could dance the whole night through. Now having lived longer my slippers are black, I walk to the store and puff my way back. The reason 1 know my youth is all spent, My "get up and go" has "got up and went." But I really don't mind when I think with a grin. Of all the grand places my "Get-up" has been. Since I have retired from life's competition, 1 busy myself with complete repetition. I get up each morning and dust off my wits, Pick up the newspaper and read the "Obits". If my name is missing, I know I'm not dead, So, I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed. ■Anon An English lady wrote to a small resort hotel in Switzerland for a holiday reservation, expressing hope the accommodations would be convenient to a *W.C. (•genteel English for Water Closet). The Inn Keeper, puzzled by the •W.C., sought out the Parish Priest for help in translation. "Ah, yes," said the Priest, "I have it! Surely she means a Wayside Chapel!" So the Inn Keeper replied to the lady, something like this: Dear Madam: I am most pleased to confirm Saturday School not suspensions We noted in a recent edition of the "Coos Bay World" in Oregon that the North Bend High School there was trying a new type of discipline for students which might be applied quite well to any school district. The new policy is school on Saturday for the students who would be otherwise suspended. It seems students who are suspended don't mind the few days or weeks off from school. The school district adopted a policy that students had to attend a certain number of days a year or lose credit, even if their classwork was satisfactory, and students who arc suspended can make up their lost days only by attending strict four-hour Saturday study sessions. "The whole idea of suspension is that parents will make it rough on the kids while they're home," the school principal explained. "Now with most parents working, it's a couple of days off for the kids." They tried out the Saturday school sessions, and found that the students in it "became model kids for the remainder of the year." -Daily News-Milner (Fairbanks, Alaska) your reservation and hasten to assure you of the convenience of our 'W.C. It is only three kilometers away in the village and is open to visitors on Tuesdays and Saturdays, although no one in need on other days is turned away. If you are in the habit of going regularly it is a good idea to go early to get a good seat, as it can become quite crowded during the tourist season with people sometimes standing in long lines for the bell to ring in the next sitting. Happily, you will be with us for our Festival of Thanksgiving. On this day each year the Bishop of Bern, noted for his passionate delivery, is cermonially 'enthroned' and later blesses the offerings. We often pack picnic lunches forourgucstswhowishto make a day of it as the *W.C. is in a beautiful setting and the sound of the tinkling waterfalls running through the grove of pine trees is most enjoyable. The acoustics in the *W.C. itself are quite remarkable, clearly carrying the most delicate organ arias as well as the crescendos which echo off the mountain like the sound of yodels. It may interest you to know that my daughter first met her future husband in the *W.C. where they happily became well acquainted with each other. Unfortunately. my wife is in delicate health and cannot attend regularly. It is almost a year since she last went and it pains her very much not to go more often. In conclusion, pamphlets printed in several languages are available at the door for a small stipend. Our visitors find these papers most convenient in performing their rituals and many later mail them to their friends to acquaint them with the pleasure and inspiration to be found in our famous *W.C. For here many come in torment and leave in blessed peace. We eagerly anticipate your visit. Coast Paper FROM THE BACK PORCH (■ Bill Clark .

NEILL FOSTER Anwar Sadat, President of Egypt, and leader of the largest Arab nation, albeit one of the poorest in the world, has made a dramatic offer to speak to Israels Knesset in a desperate effort 'to move the drive for peace off center in the Middle East. On Israel's part, President Begin has invited Mr. Sadat to Jerusalem to speak to Israel's highest legislative body. Some think Mr. Sadat is dangerous. There even appears to be a developing fear that he may bc successful. And it seems strange. The world seems better able to understand and accept Israel's air strike at Lebanon with over 100 civilians dead. It also appears to fully understand Sadat's lunge at Israel in the last war, which was launched on Jerusalem's holiest day. Perhaps it is not so strange. In the days of Jesus Christ, the witnesses of his miracles and mighty acts were much the same. Actually afraid of good. Whether Mr. Sadat ever speaks to the Knesset is yet to be seen. But one thing is sure. The Book says the peacemakers are blessed. Mr. Sadat, who has often threatened war, now threatens peace.

The evening was a financial success as well as an enjoyable event. The raffle and fun night activities cleared $950.00 for the school.

(UP1) — After fiddling with Mother Nature's handiwork for eight years or so, a horticulturist at the agriculture research station here believes he has come up with a better strawberry. The strawberry, named "Linn" after Linn County, was developed by Francis Lawrence, a researcher with the U.S. department of agriculture. The new berry, he says, might be able to withstand the hardships of mechanical harvesting. While the economic effects of his work likely will not be felt in Oregon for years, Lawrence is hopeful the new berry will eventually help growers cut costs by using machines to harvest crops. Much of the state's strawberry crop is used by processors for jam, juice, and freezing. The trouble is, says Lawrence, a firm berry is needed. "Most varieties are too soft and when they're harvested by machine, they get cut and damaged," Lawrence said. "They can get mushy and aren'i a very attractive product." But the Linn is another matter. "It's a very firm berry." he says. "There is a lot of ripe and useful fruit at one time. Strawberries are the only crop not mechanically harvested, and good labor is hard to come by." lt will be next year before the small acreage that was planted can be harvested. Lawrence says "less than SO acres" have been planted in Washington and California. Still, it's a start on a problem that has seen Oregon's strawberry acreage decline during the past five years, he says. The real problem is the technology involved. According to Lawrence, there are few machines for harvesting strawberries anywhere in the world. Oregon, in fact, does not have any at the moment, he said. And that problem, as much as anything, makes a man like Robert Conroy, chairman of the Oregon Strawberry Commission, not overly optimistic about the Linn's immediate impact. "It's a long way from ever being put into the field," Conroy said. "We're still 15 years away from mechanical harvesting." "We can talk about the Linn as a wonderful research project." he said. "But the processing plants themselves can't handle it. "In California they harvested 400 million tons last year, all by hand," he said. "No problem. They could care less about mechanical harvesting." In Oregon, 27 million tons were harvested last year, Conroy said. Lawrence would agree with Conroy. But after four years of tests, the Linn looks like it might be a good future bet for Northwest strawberry growers.

By SHANE McCUNE Never go to a disco unless you feel like dancing. This profound maxim came to me a couple of weekends ago as I nursed a watery drink in one of the flashier downtown discotheques, watching would-be Beautiful People do the hustle (in more ways than one). It was a depressing evening, and one that made me feel just a little older. (Lest anyone jump to conclusions, let me assure you that l am quite young. My teeth are my own and the same is true — despite rumors to the contrary of my hair.) Premature reminiscence is an indulgence I usually leave to others, but I couldn't help but think back to the l%0s, when I was caught up to some degree in the politics of peace and love that infected North American teenagers. Has there been a generation anywhere, any time, with less cynicism, more hope, more constructive energy than the youth of the North America in the sixties? Nol all of us were "tuning in. turning on and dropping out". A lot of us were reading. listening, and marching. We were going to put an end to ignorance, poverty, war and racism. Ha. It couldn't happen, of course. Nor could our enthusiasm last. Now most of us are scrambling to find jobs and raise families. The values are still there. I suppose, but fettered by inescapable materialism. What, I wonder, are the values of the kids in flashy clothes who spend a fair chunk of money for the privilege of dancing to recorded music? As far as I can tell, kids today don't want to hear about politics, let alone become involved in it. Racism and violence are on the increase while literacy is on the wane. Of course, very few teenagers actively pursue violence or racism as forms of recreation. But even fewer spend their spare time fighting those evils. I can't say I blame them. We shouted and marched, and where did it get us? Economists and sociogists say we products of the postwar baby boom will suffer high unemployment until we are all pensioned oil. And you don't hear about "nuclear deterrents" anymore. Now it's "low yield tactical nuclear weapons" and "first strike potential." Ten years ago the poverty in the world made us want to share. Now. when poverty is a little closer to home, we're all looking out for number one. It's ama/.ing how quickly a young man's social conscience can evaporate when he realizes he will probably never own a house. *** So where dues the kid on the dance floor go from here? After my generation has picked and sifted through the job market, there's not much left for him. Even his music-disco, punk rock or the insipid stuff that passes for jazz now - is merely our music recycled and diluted. Politics? The radicals of l%H are running boutiques and raving about yoghurt. Marriage? If his parents aren't divorced, his neighbor's are. Family life? His grandparents are dusted off and trundled out for Christmas, weddings and anniversaries, and he has no concept of the richness of their lives. They don't look too glamorous, though. Education? Well, Transcendental Meditation is all right, because you don't have to struggle or think. You just relax and escape. And you can do the same thing at the disco. Or at least you can escape. 1 don't know about relaxation. There was little eye contact in the place that night, less conversation. And no laughter. ■Juan De Fuca News Studies made by the University of Washington School of Medicine have shown that babies born to female alcoholics have a high degree of birth defects. Some of these infants are born with small heads, stunted bodies, abnormal faces, and a frightening number suffer from low mentalities. Even more alarming is the fact that such babies have a mortality rate of five times the national average, but probably those who die are the fortunate ones. Of those that do survive almost half are sad mental cases. A lot of people might say that only heavy drinkers are faced with the problem. Yet the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism is petitioning the U.S. government to warn pregnant women against drinking liquor, saying that even an ounce of liquor a day consumed by an expectant mother could harm an unborn child. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism also mentioned that alcohol can cause the abnormalities previously mentioned by the University of Washington. Other studies have shown that mothers who are heavy smokers pass on to their unborn children similar abnormalities. This likewise true in an aggravated sense of those who take drugs. MURRAYVILLE — The upright piano standing in the activity room at Cedar Hilts nursing centre has been there about 20 years. Worn piano wires in the old instrument have provided many hours of musical entertainment for the sick and the aged who are forced to spend their time at Cedar Hills. Over the years, however, the pianoforte has gradually earned itself the right to retirement, and should now bc replaced. On Thursday, December 1, representatives ofthe West Coast CB'ers Club gathered in front of the old instrument to turn over a cheque for $1,000 to the centre. It has not been decided yet what the moeny will be used for, but both the CB'ers and staff members of the nursing centre favor the idea of replacing the old piano, Bob Sinclair, a spokesperson for the CB'ers, revealed the money was raised at a'Halloween costume ball staged recently by the club. Turn out at the dance was heavy as a result of a donation from Aqua-Rest Waterbeds Ltd. The Langley waterbed retailer gave away a complete waterbed as a door prize at the dance, and thus insured heavy gate receipts for the costume function. ' Membership in the West Coast CB'ers Club includes radio enthusiasts from as far afield as Hawaii, Montana, Britain and the Yukon Territory. Lcfl lo righl are Barb Calkins, nursing supervisor Elsie Jolly- more, Molly Stephenson and Karen Sinclair. Members of the West Coast CB'ers club donated SI ,000 Cor upgrading of the Cedar Hills extended care wing's musical equipment. The presentation was made Thursday.

Tell me again how Unemployment Insurance qualifications are changing." New legislation has changed some of the ground rules of our UI program. Parliament has decided that people who live in areas of high unemployment will be given certain advantages over those who live where jobs are more plentiful. Which means that, as of December 4, you'll need more insurable work weeks to qualify for Unemployment Insurance benefits. "10 to 14 weeks, depending on where you live, right?" Right again. In regions of low unemployment, claimants will need up to 14 weeks of insurable employment to get UI benefits. This will only happen in places where it's easier to get and keep a job. In regions of high unemployment, claimants will need as little as 10 weeks to qualify. But until December 4, the entrance requirement remains at eight weeks wherever you live. "How about the two week waiting period?" No change. The basic two week waiting period remains the same everywhere. And so do the rules on the waiting period when a claimant has left his or her job for no good reason or been fired for misconduct. In such cases, a claimant may have to wait up to eight weeks from when employment ends until benefits start. "Has the amount ofthe benefits changed?" Absolutely not. The UI benefit rate stays at two-thirds of your average weekly insurable earnings. The maximum is $147, less tax. "Anything else I should know?" The maximum time for which anyone may receive benefits has changed slightly. The old maximum was 51 weeks. Now it's 50 weeks. But since September 11, the total number of weeks for which a claimant qualifies has more closely reflected the unemployment rate in his or her region. Right now, wc measure unemployment by dividing Canada into 16 economic regions. Later, in 1978, we will fine-tune the program to 54 regions so that UI will be even more closely related to the local labourrnarket conditions. Also, there's maternity, sickness and age 65 benefits. Previously, sickness benefits were only payable during the first 39 weeks of the claim. Now they are payable at anytime during the entire benefit period. \ Maternity benefits of 15 weeks and the special one-time benefit (equal to three weeks' benefits) at age 65 remains the same. The same people still pay for the program in the same proportions, and the types of employment insurable for UI remain the same, too. And, as explained in the box below, you still go to the familiar locations for both UI offices and Canada Manpower Centres. Watch for changes in your area. The Unemployment Insurance Commission and the Department of Manpower and Immigration have become the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission.

Let me repeat what 1 have so often said before. Do not hurry things and don't expect too much of a garden for the first year. There arc two most important items that are vital to your success as a gardener. I would place drainage first as good drainage is essentia) for plant cultivation. It is also necessary where paths or walls have to be built. Gardens with heavy clay and sticky soils often suffer from poor drainage. This is because clay consists of minute soil particles which cling together and prevent water from seeping away. Those gardeners who have sandy or stony soils do not usually suffer from poor drainage as they drain freely. In a-new garden there is a rough test for poor drainage. Dig a pit about two feet deep and fill it with water. If the drainage is good the water will disappear within 24 hours (often much sooner). If the water stays in the hole for 48 hours or more, you will have to do something to improve your drainage because plants will nol survive with "wet feet". If drainage is very poor, you will have to tile drain your land before any garden can be contemplated. However, if the drainage is just moderately bad, it can be overcome by improving the texture ofthe soil. This is done by incorporating as much organic material as possible in the soil. Use manure, garden compost, leaf mould, spent mushroom manure, peat, and such inorganic materials as gritty sand, gypsum or ashes. This will obviously take a long time and the garden should bc done bit by bit. Don't ever attempt to do the whole lot at once. How much material is needed to improve the soil? As a general rule you should incorporate one bucket of organic matter to each square yard of soil or two buckets of inorganic matter. If this can be plowed or rototilled;in. so much the better. Any new-Mot lliiU; has been cleared from' the bush is likely to be very acid. If so the land should be given a heavy liming as this makes the clay more porous by assisting the particles of clay to become crumbly. It will also encourage earthworms. These creatures do a tremendous job in improving drainage. How much lime do you use? Try half a pound of hydrated lime to the square yard. It should be applied to the surface after any cultivation has been done, lf you have a corner of the garden in which you want to grow rhododendrons, azaleas, hydrangeas or other acid loving plants, don't lime this area. It is possible that drainage may he poor because of a hard pan of compressed soil anywhere up to two feet below the surface. This could have been caused by heavy traffic on the site. New housing sites frequently have many tractors and dump trucks constantly compressing the soil. This hard pan can be broken up either by deep plowing or by double digging. The latter is back- breaking and very time consuming. Obviously, after drainage the next step in making a good garden is ,to obtain good soil structure, this cannot bc done by intensive use of inorganic materials from a bag. It entails extensive additions of humus to Ihe soil. I have described what to do with clay soils but it is probably even more important to add humus to sandy soils. Sandy soils have good drainage, too good. Water drains through very rapidly and allows plants to dry out quickly. Something must bc incorporated to retain moisture and. in this respect, nothing is better than peat moss or compost. If the top foot or so of sandy or clayey soils contains ptenty of humus, then you are well on the way to establishing a successful garden. There are occasions when drainage is so bad that tiling or ditch digging is impracticable as there is nowhere to run the water away other than to a neighbor's property. In this case the only alternative is to build your beds INFO HEALTH Dn Bob Young The earliest memory of hospitals for most of us is the time we had our tonsils out. The operation seemed to be a part of growing up - as inevitable as innoculations and cavities. As an intern I was required to perform six or eight tonsillectomies. This could bc accomplished in a day or two as there were usually a half-dozen cases booked every day. Today, in the same hospital, il might take an intern two weeks to fulfill his requirement. Between 1970 and 1975 the number of tonsillectomies and adenoidectomics done in one Victoria hospital dropped from 525 to 214 per year. Why has this dramatic reduction occurred? There has always been considerable controversy among doctors regarding the necessity for and the benefits of tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, or T's and A's. Individual physicians, influenced by their teaching and their own experience, develop their own criteria for the procedure. The usually accepted reason for removing tonsils is the occurrence of repeated infection in spite of antibiotic therapy. There are several reasons for removing the adenoids, the major one being the presence of ear disease. Sinusitis and airway obslruction, if marked, may be improved by adenoidectomy. The adenoids are also frequently removed if the child needs his tonsils out. There is evidence that this is justifiable and it avoids a second anaesthetic, but there is a slightly increased risk with the double procedure. The pendulum is continually swinging, and there is probably as much fault in doing too few operations as in doing too many. While* it is trjle that better antibiotics, increased availability of medical care, and more stringent indications for the operation have resulted in a decrease in the need for T's and A's, these factors have not eliminated the operation entirely. The decision to have the operation usually is made by the parents of the child.

Throw out clothes, household items, utensils, sports equipment, dishes, linen etc you KNOW you're not using. And don't plan to. That at least solves the storage problem for those things, rather nicely. As for the rest, convenience in a location does more for easy housekeeping than practically anything else.

Approximately 5 percent of (he adult population of Canada is alfceted. and the disease is somewhat more common in females than in males. The association of diabetes, obesity, kidney disease and high blood pressure is well known. Certainly being overweight is a definite factor, although the exact reason is not completely clear. Thus the person who is overweight, or who has a family history of high blood pressure or diabetes, particularly during middle age. is a prime candidate lor hypertension. A routine medical examination may disclose the presence of hypertension long before the patient develops symptoms of it. The CM.A. reports that the judicious use of reducing diets. salt restriction, and if necessary itne or more of the many prescription drugs available, can contribute to a great deal of the patient's wellbcing. In many cases this type of treatment can delay or' prevent the serious complications of high blood pressure that occur in such vital organs as the heart, kidneys and brain.

FROM THE KITCHENS OF MCCAIN Heavenly hamburger 15 Hydro workers donate time In these days of soaring grocery prices and increasing inflation, one of the homemaker's best fresh meat buys is still ground beef. As well as being relatively inexpensive, lowly hamburger has given its name to the most popular North American quick sandwich treat and is a versatile meat specified in innumerable recipes. Hamburger is used in casseroles, in skillet recipes, as an ingredient in sauces and gravies, and fried, broiled, baked and barbecued with a bewildering variety of other foods. Ground beef has become virtually a universal ingredient. Baking hamburger as a meat loaf is one way in which the budget-conscious homemaker can stretch the household meat supply. Potato Meat Loaf is a delicious alternative to more traditional recipes. POTATO MEAT LOAF I Ib. lean ground beef I lb. frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed 1 large onion, Finely chopped 1 egg 1 tsp. parscly flakes 3 tsp. Worcestershire sauce Vi cup medium cheddar cheese, grated Mix hasbrowns with beef, onions and parsley. Bind mixture with egg, adding Worcestershire sauce to taste. Turn mixture into a greased 2 Ib. loaf tin, or two 1 Ib. tins, and bake in a 375 degree F oven for 50 minutes. Add cheese to top and bake 10 minutes longer. Turn out and serve hot or cold cut into slices. Serves 4-6. * * * Hamburger provides the base for a multitude of recipes for stuffed cabbage rolls, stuffed green pepper and other vegeta ble fillings. The next recipe for Vegetable Beef Roll takes this idea and turns it inside out into a delectable new approach to hamburger and vegetable combinations. VEGETABLE BEEF ROLL 1 medium onion, chopped 2 tbsp. butter 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen mixed vegetables 2 lb. ground beef 1 egg. beaten 1 tbsp. prepared mustard 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp. salt '/« tsp. pepper I cup Cheddar cheese, grated 3 slices bacon, halved Saute onion in butter until soft using a medium frying pan. Stir in frozen mixed vegetables. Heat over low heat, breaking up vegetables with a fork. Cover and cook 10 minutes or until almost tender. Drain well and allow to cool while preparing meat. Combine ground beef, egg. mustard, salt and pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl and mix with a fork until blended. Pat meat mixture into a 16 by 10 inch rectangle on wax paper or foil. Spread with cooled vegetable mixture to within 1 inch of edges and sprinkle with cheese. Starting at one end, roll in jelly-roll fashion, lifting wax paper or foil as you roll to steady and guide the process. Place seam side down in a large, shallow, greased baking pan. Top with bacon slices. Bake in 375 degrees F. oven one hour or until a deep brown. Lift onto serving platter and cut into '/i inch thick slices with a sharp knife. Portions may be sprinkled with Worcestershire sauce to enhance the flavor before serving. Serves 6 to 8. VANCOUVER — lt will be a merrier Christmas for 1,800 lower mainland youngsters thanks to the volunteer efforts of B.C. Hydro transit operators. The drivers are involved in two projects for mentally and physically handicapped children - the Variety Club Christmas party and tours of Christmas lights. And they're receiving plenty of help from Hydro. Fifteen operators will donate their time Dec. 11 in 15 buses from Hydro's Oakridge transit centre to pick up about 900 handicapped youngsters from as far away as Abbotsford and take them to the annual Varieity Club Christmas party for an afternoon * of singing, dancing, skits and refreshments. . Project organizer Gary Haupt, a transit operator, says drivers take the children to the downtown Vancouver party, park their buses , and return to participate themselves. "Often they bring their own families along as well," Gary said. He says there is a "terrific" response from the drivers to the project, now in its sixth consecutive year. The Christmas lights tours have been around longer, about 20 years, and are equally sueeess- fu I. There are few behavior problems as school chaperoncs accompany children on all trips. "We always have more drivers volunteering for both projects than we can possibly use," said Haupt. who first got involved two years ago with the retirement of longtime organizer Jack Manning. Fifteen busloads, about 900 children, will be taken on a two-and-a-half-hour 22-mile tour of the best Christmas lights in New Westminster, Burnaby and Vancouver during the week before Christmas. Buses are donated from Kensington transit centre, and like the Variety Club party, drivers throughout the lower mainland volunteer their time. Woodwards stores and the Amalgamated Transit Union will donate coloring books. We're back to normal1.

That's all that today's shopper for stereo equipment really needs to know, according to John Koss, chairman of Koss Corporation, world's largest manufacturer of high quality stereophones and speakers. Shoppers for hi Ii equipment are all too often intimidated by what they think they need to know in order to make a sensible decision on the purchase of stereo equipment. What you buy should be what pleases your ear most," said Koss. According to John Koss. this simple principle is one of the reasons for the great popularity of Koss stereo headphone products. ' "The person shopping for stereophones doesn't need to research any technical data in order to make the right choice. It's obvious that the stereophone model which is the right one to buy is Ihe model which sounds best when you listen to it." Buyers of Koss stereophone products have proved him right. The company, which was the first to manufacture stereo headphones, today has more than 20 models in its product line. They range from $20 to S300 in price and arc sold through more than 10.000 retail outlets world wide. "One ofthe main problems which people indicate they face in selecting audio equipment for their home is their own attiiude when it comes lo buying stereo products," says Koss. "As attractive as most of the audio departments or stores are today, they still are viewed as an 'alien environment' to many who feel they do not know enough about power wattage, frequency response and other technical aspects of stereo equipment." "All that anyone really needs to know in making decisions on hi Ii equipment purchases is what I tell friends who call me for advice on stereo purchases. 'What you hear is what you gel. That's really what making an intelligent choice comes down to,' " says Koss. As a rule of thumb. Koss generally suggests to friends buying a new system that they divide their expenditure in roughly Ihe following way: 35 percent for speakers; 35 percent for electronics (amp/receiver): 20 percent for turntable/cartridge: 10 percent for a headphone. In making the selection, Koss advises, listen to one sound system and then to another. One of them is bound to sound better to you. Then compare the one that sounds better to you with slill another system, and so forth. One of those is going to emerge as the best sounding system. "If you do this repeatedly with all of the systems in your price range, you are going lo end up making a choice which will be just as satisfying to you as one which is based on a detailed study of the yards of technical data available on most hi fi components available today." For (he person who enjoys the technical side of stereo equipment. Koss points out ■,, that there is almost unlimited opportunity for reading pleasure in specification sheets whicta'cround almost every product today. For the non-technical person buying a system for satisfying sound and entertainment rather than for an interest in technology, listening is the best basis on which to make a choice. "It sounds easy and it is." says Koss.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The United States has academics to turn out future generals and admirals, but the country also needs a special training school for its top politicians, says a pretig- ious women's organization. The Parliament of Women ■ which, incidentally, has a men's gallery - wants the federal government to set up a National Academy for Presidents, Appointed to this new academy would be college-age men and women aiming for a career in government • local, state, national, including the presidency of the United States. Mary L. T. Brown, president of the parliament, talked about the school for presidents, and other matters, in an interview. "No profession - whether plumbers, lawyers, doctors, accountants or teachers - permits nonprofessionals to practice a craft without proper education and background," she said. "Yet fitness for the most powerful job in the world, the presidency of the United States, is based on irrevelancies. "To rule out this choice by chance we should have a National School for Presidents. EDUCATING A PRESIDENT "If we can choose men and women to fly to the moon, or have the sophistication to develop neutron weapons, we should certainly have the brainpower to educate a first class president. The Parliament of Women does not intend that dvery woman or man who passes through the presidential school will be elected to that or some other high office. "What it means is that these graduates would run for office at all levels eventually and the voters would have responsible, trained candidates from whom to choose." What will make these graduates superior as candidates for elected office? "They will know how to keep up to date on what is happening around them," Brown said. "They will have been trained to be experts in vital areas such as taxation, foreign policy, domestic and international inflation, housing development, welfare problems. "These persons will be competent to administer and police budgets from the smallest hamlet to areas of foreign aid." POOL OF TRAINED CANDIDATES The school would give the nation a pool of trained political candidates. "Any persons trained in this school would make a better governor, mayor, senator, congressman, ambassador, cabinet member or judge - to name a few vital offices," said the president of the parliament. "We no longer would have to vote for the lesser of three evils or rely on blind appointments. It would bc the end of political hacks and hangers-on who embarrass us -and bleed us financial! v." so^ clock Radio Sale TFMC 380W TFMC4MW TFMC 380W Sony's latest economical compact AM/FM digimaiic clock radio Features: large digimatic numerals and illuminated dial (or easy day or night reading; big 2V speaker for lull AM/FM sound; wakes you in ihe morning to gentle AM or FM music: modern styled, white cabinet lakes up very little space Special $54.95 TFMC 480W Low-profile styling adds a note of elegance to any decor while the rich lull sound of FM/AM radio makes both listening and waking up a pleasure.

Use pasta to decorate tree Santa breakfast for second try Spaghetti, macaroni, riga- toni . . . they may not be standard Christmas fare, but a clever lady from upstate New York has found that they can be served up as pretty holiday decorations. Designer Constance Spates uses assorted pastas to create decorations that range from fanciful tree ornaments to a pure and simple angel. She's even made a stylized tree to adorn a buffet table. Beside the pasta, her basic ingredients are just cardboard, styrofoam shapes, and Elmer's Glue-All. Read her tips on how to make these holiday trimmings—then work your own variations. .4 n t> e I: Use a I 2 " styrofoam cone for the body, a 3" ball for the head. Cutoff the tip of cone, and glue ball in place. Cover body with thin spaghetti (don't worry that the IO" spaghetti is too short; the pretty collar and border, of pasta shells and bow ties. will cover the gaps.) Use ruffled pasta like "mafalda" for decorative center strip. Hint: work in sections, applying Elmer's glue generously to cone as you go. On ball, use light-colored fabric for face; smooth on and secure with straight pins. Glue on features cut from felt. Glue on rice pasta for hair, and make halo from cardboard, covered with pasta bow-ties and with "rays" of spaghetti. Tree; Cut four triangles of cardboard, and join along their long edges with strips of masking tape. Stand them up and fold so tape is inside (except for last edge, which will be joined outside.) Cover with spaghetti, and decorate with pasta bow ties, shells and corkscrews. Glue on wooden balls for feet and. if desired, add matching pedestal made from a cardboard box. Spray-paint to match your table setting. Ornaments: Make strings of pasta tubes, sprayed Bright Gold or colors. Add pendants of large pasta shells, with tassels of tiny pasta tubes strung together and tipped with pasta shells. Or combine assorted pasta shapes on cardboard to make ray-like ornament. Idea: before glueing together, spray each shape in a different Krylon color to get kaleidoscope effect. Or spray whole ornament Bright Gold as shown here. With these ideas for a start, why not have a pasta party and let everyone join in the making? And of course— serve up a hearty pasta supper as a reward! MAKE A GIANT WALL HANGING of I'dlon's new I'liun I'licll,'" an iill-polycM-rr wut-huhlc mm woven material de- whip-nil twpmally for crafts and lUriinilion project*. A -iiiKlc yard of llic background color miikcn u 3 by 6 fool hanging. Move festive fun 'hanging' a wall Felt is a natural at Christmastime. Easy to stitch, adaptable to all sorts of Christmas gifts, decorations, ornaments and table settings, available in bright Christmas tones — what would Christmas be without felt? Now, telt has an extra dimension. The Pellon Corporation has just introduced Phun Phelt,1« an all-polyester, completely washable, crushproof and colorfast nonwoven material. It has greater tensile strength than most craft felts, accepts spray paint without blurring, may be stitched, glued or fused In place, and comes in a range of joyous Christmas colors. Any youngster on your Christmas list would love a giant wall hanging made of a single yard of Phun Phelt.™ It's 72" wide, so the hanging will measure 36" by 72." Educational as well as decorative, this hanging can feature learn- to-count squares. To make a wall hanging like this one, you will need one yard of the basic background color, a half- yard of black for border and divider lines, and an assortment of 9" by 12" pieces in different colors. These elements may be stitched together, or the hanging may be assembled without stitching by using Pellon's fusible web. Copy these designs, or make up your own from simple out line designs in coloring books. Note that some of the designs have extra lines such as the legs of the spiders, the strings of the balloons, and the spouts of the whales. These may be done In hand embroidery, with machine stitching, or with a felt pen. Cut the designs from the Phun Phelt"' squares, and, if you are fusing the designs, cut a matching piece of fusible web for each design. Cut the black felt divider lines 1" thick, and the border lines 2" thick. Cut matching strips of fusible web. Position web between fabrics, and fuse carefully into position using a damp press cloth and 10 second Arm pressure. Position designs carefully. You may steam- baste by simply touching the tip of the steam iron to a small section of each design, thereby melting just a bit of the fusible web. When each section is correctly placed, fuse designs to background piece. Fuse the numbers, and complete the extra markings. Cut hanging strips, and fuse in place. This may be hung on a curtain rod, or tack to the wall. A Christmas design, an Easter design, or any original motif may be done in the same way. With Phun Phelt,™ every day is a holiday.

You can give it a sparkling finish with Krylon spray paints, or leave it natural, like the charming angel.

DOUBLEDAY, 49-1 Municipal Clerk ALDERGROVE — Angelo Pap- adopoulos, maitre d' at the Olympic Flame Restaurant in the Aldergrove Centre mall, said Tuesday that he wants to extend an apology to everyone who was disappointed at last week's breakfast with Santa. The new eatery staged a special SI.00 breakfast with old St. Nick last Saturday morning, and hundreds of people showed up. The disappointment came in when it was discovered that there was not enough staff to run the event. Papadopoulos said the customers who came, "Didn't get proper service or food." This was due to a misjudgement of the number of people who would show up for the event, and due to the fact that not all the restaurant staff showed up in time for the breakfast. This Saturday, the Olympic Flame will again offer a breakfast with Santa, and this time it has been ensured that enough food and staff will be on hand to look after people's needs. The breakfast will take place at 9:30 a.m. and the price will be the same as last week. Kids will get their meals for $1.00, while adults will pay the regular price on the menu.

Martin Nash cheats but it's an honest job By JULIE VALENTIE Three little girls burst into tears and ran crying for the safety of their mothers at the appearance ofthe ten foot tall Sasquatch lasl Friday afternoon at the Fran Dowie puppet show. Big though he was. he was very friendly, only concerned with finding his lost penknife. Along with him appeared a barbershop quartet totem pole, each face singing in harmony. A trio of dancing ding-a-lings had the audience laughing as did old-timer Barnie McBean with his jokes and antics. An impressive performance of "robot acting" was put on by one of the female puppeteers. Dressed like a ragdotl. she danced with such mechanical movements that some children weren't convinced she was real even after having been told. The show, presented by a group of four apprentice puppeteers studying with Mr. Dowie at his Richmond studio, culminated with the appearance of Santa Claus and a rousing chourus of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer." The singing brought.the appearance of Rudolph himself, complete with glowing red lightbulb nose. The children were delighted with the show and judging from the adults' laughter and singing, they were too. A steady stream of buyers purchased many handcrafted items at the first LAX. Christmas craft fair in Fort Langley this past weekend. Tree decorations were a big seller as were dolls and knitted doll items, pottery, Christmas themc-maeramed wall hangings, decoupaged wall plaques, and jewelery. It was a profitable fair for both sellers and buyers, with everything running smoothly in an atmosphere of friendliness and comfort. With the success of this first fair, arts council members are already planning the next, slated for this coming spring or summer. Soapstone carvings on display in Library ALDERGROVE — Martin A. Nash cheats at cards, yet he slums no visible signs of being bcalen up lately, which is probably because he doesn't gamble. With Nash, cheating is just a way to make an honest dollar. He travels around the fairground circuit; stops here and there to put on a show in a shopping mall or a private residence and even hops a plane to Vegas three times a year. Nash started fooling around wiih cards somewhere between the age of five and seven years. "No 'top card man1 started past the age of ten," he affirms. - The 'charming cheat', as his publicity photos read, says that professional card sharks can't really explain how they get started in their unusual line of work. Nash feels it starts as mere* curiosity, then turns into a hobby, "and with mc it has become an obsession," he says, adding that it is a beautiful obsession. He wanted to bc an entertainer of some kind since the age of ten or eleven, but concedes that he didn't turn professional until his mid thirties. Until his 36th year, Nash worked as a businessman applying his easy going nature in the field of sales. His decision to turn professional at cards was partly a manifestation of his desire to get away from the rat race of salesmanship. When he first started in the irade he was still working at a regular job during the daytime, subsidizing his income at night with a deck of cards. Today he is probably the most proficient cheat you wilt ever encounter. He does not gamble, mind you, he just cheats. Nash explained quite straight forwardly during a break from his hourly show in the Aldergrove Book reveals unknown world In a book just out is pictured the life story of one of our local oldtimcrs, one of the last homesteaders of the Fraser Valley. Besides the story of 'Angora Ebe', a Langley resident who up until a few years ago homestead- ed in the Columbia Valley shouth of Cultus Lake, the book also features a fascinating story of a Norwegian who came to Canada in 1908 and hauled freight by scow on the Upper Fraser River, homesteaded on the Prairies and fished off the West Coast until he was 84 years old. Many new Canadians will find that this book reveals a world completely unknown to them. That where today they see townhouses, shopping centres, schools, hospitals and heavy traficked roads, up until just a few years ago was logged off stump land and the occasional peaceful farm. Stump Ranch Chronicles by Rolf Knight (New Star Books S3.95). Centre mall last week, that it would bc impossible to apply his skills legally even in Las Vegas. "I'll wipe anybody out in ten minutes," he states with confidence. He docs travel to the desert gambling mecca about three times a year, but it is mainly to perform shows in hotels and at private parties. Many of the appearances he makes at private parties are of a challenge nature. Another cheat, often a non-professional, will ask him to sit down for a friendly game. The two cheats square off and the money pot grows. "It usually starts out friendly," remarks Nash, then he punctuates the remark with a wide grin. Docs he have any tips for the serious gambler? Nash does have one tip for the card enthusiast who is heading for Nevada, but he cautions that it takes a lot of thought before the true message in the tip can be understood. He points out that the 'strip' in Vegas is about eight miles in length and dotted with casinos. The tip is: "They were all built by the winners and paid for by the losers." Again, however. Nash insists that his own skills are all but useless at the gambling tables in Reno. Tahoe or Vegas, because they consist totally of cheating. "lf I don't want you to get a card I won't deal it to you," he explains, "but if I want four aces I'll deal them...if I didn't cheat I'd probably lose." He denies, on the other hand, that what he does is magic tricks. Nash offers ten thousand dollars if he can't do any scam in his repertoire with a brand new deck of cards brought forth by a member of his audience. He considers playing magic tricks with shaved decks and marked cards to be mere illusions, while his own form of card scam is simply a refinement of certain basic "gambling techniques". Today his prowess as a cheat has taken him to Japan, Hawaii, the USA and Canada. Next year he will perform in Europe. In addition he is a regular performer at the PNE, the Calgary Stampede and Edmonton's Klondike Days. His private party shows have included performances at. the homes of Abigail Van Burcn (Dear Abby). motion picture stars Rhonda Hemming, David Niven and Cary Grant, while his nightclub credits include the Magic Castle, recognized as one of the finest showcases of magic in the Hollywood area. Nash is a resident of Burnaby and was born and raised on Vancouver Island. He works or practises six to twelve hours per day. Cards are his life, and his scams are all unique. "I don't do what everyone else does, you don't get anywhere copying people. All my tricks are invented by me," he says. Nash was performing in the Aldergrove Centre mall every hour on the hour last week. By TOOTS TUCKER Soapstone Carving classes, introduced through the Adult Education programme of Fraser Valley College, has uncovered many local artists, some as far away as Chilliwack and Port Kells. This ten week session, now completed, will feature a special exhibit of finished carvings in the Clearbrook library, during December 7-15th. for public enjoyment. The library is open every day except for Sunday and Monday, and the hours are from l-S p.m. and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. The carvings will be transferred to the new Aldergrove Centre for December 14, 16 and 17th, where actual carving demonstrations will be featured, and questions or inquiries will be answered to anyone interested in this relaxing hobby. Also at the Aldergrove Centre on the 15th to 17th. will bc an exhibit of original oil paintings, made by members of the Aldergrove Art Club. It is hoped that as many people as possible will be able to visit this exhibition, and also chat with the students during their carving demonstration. During the sessions of carving this easily worked slonc (the softest of all the minerals), the student starts with a rough piece of soapstone. which they work on with an assortment of tools, including rasps, files, chisels, steel wool, sandpaper etc.. to reproduce the vision or shape in the stone which they have in mind.

Due lo the lack of reindccrslelgh In the sky, and Trustees want RCMP to clamp down on students arrived at the Aldergrove Centre in style aboard a fire truck. MURRAYVILLE— Marijuana use, and its sale, are common in local schools, but the average dealer sells so little of the narcotic that police can't press trafficking charges when they catch him. according to a member of the RCMP's Langley drug squad. Constable Larry Campbell told the Langley school board Monday that high school pot salesmen usually deal in quantities they could easily use themselves. The school board requested police input on the matter after an unusually high number of student suspensions on drug related offences. Figures for the first three months of the school year revealed 19 students had received 90-day suspensions for possession of marijuana or its abuse, while only 17 were suspended for alcohol abuse. The highest number of suspensions were handed out at Langley senior secondary where a new principal began a 'get-lough' policy in September. Aldergrove sccorfdary had only one suspension for drug abuse and one for alcohol giving it the second best record in the district. Over-all. there were more suspensions in September and October than in the first two months of the past four years combined. Campbell attributed the increase to a new attitude by principals in dealing with the problem, and to the new discipline code introduced by the school board. "This area is standing up to its decision," said Campbell, "while other areas are not." The discipline code allows principals to use discretion on a first offence, but provides for a three-month suspension for two time offenders. "I'll bc surprised if we have anything like we experienced in September and October this month or next month," commented Corporal Doug Clyde in response to questions about ihe new code's effectiveness. "What the schools do to these people is much more than anything I can do through Ihe courts," added Campbell. The drug squad made 22 arrests in the first 10 months of 1977. 16 were related to marijuana. Campbell admitted that few efforts have been made to educate potential users about Ihe dangers of drug abuse. "Up until this point, we were running a band-aid program as far as alcohol and drug abuse is concerned." Langley has since been divided into four policing /ones, and police are instructed to visit schools in their area when thev aren't answering calls. During a question and answer period with the board, the constable commended the new policy of suspensions as a way of making 'borderline' users understand the consequences of drug abuse. Trustee Brian Westwood questioned the effectiveness of drug squad activities outside the schools. "These drugs have to be available to the children before they can bc used," he commented. Campbell turned down a suggestion by board chairman Kaye Armstrong that police dogs be used to sniff illicit drugs hidden in lockers. Armstrong said suspensions resulting from the searches would benefit the students involved. "It doesn't really matter if we suspend 70, or even 100." said the veteran trustee. "The more wc catch, the better it is for them." The constable told the board the students would respond to Ihe police searches by hiding the drugs somewhere else. The practice, in vogue in some areas in the late '60s, was halted because of legal complications. Campbell recommended the board consider a program of parent education to open discussion between parents and students on the subject. "We can go to the school, and we can build up a rapport with the students, and we can do a whole lot of things, but if it doesn't start in the home..." The recommendation is expected to be discussed by the secondary education committee before the board's December 19 meeting. Let your money work double, Shop in your home town What if Jack Frost decides to hit a lot harder than he did last winter? Will that mean a season of countless motorists wrestling with stalled engines? Many "can't start" emergency road service calls can be avoided . if motorists are prepared. According to Bill McKinley, president of the B.C. Automobile Association, basic auto "winterizing", done before that first cold day. combined with proper starting techniques can help ensure engine starts on even the coldest of mornings. "There is no special formula or secret," say McKinley. "Actually, winterizing is simply routine, year round engine maintenance combined with special attention to a few cold weather precautions." The BCAA official says winterizing is niether time-consuming nor costly if motorists have followed routine maintenance recommendations faithfully. Here's the club's step-by-step guide to preparing your car for cold weather: 1. Have the engine tuned. A tune-up could be defined simply as bringing certain engine components back to factory specifications, through either adjustment or replacement. Theres nothing special or different about a winter tune-up, other than the fact that, at this time of year, one is vital to engine starting. Have the mechanic inspect the following, adjusting or replacing as necessary: spark plugs, plug wires, points, condenser, carburetor, engine timing, PCV valve, belts, hoses and air filter. Also have the engine oil and filter changed at this time. Be sure that the oil installed is of the proper weight to handle anticipated temperatures in your area. Your owner's manual or mechanic will bc able to make suggestions. 2. Protect the engine against cold. While your car is in the shop for a tune-up. ask the mechanic to inspect the condition of the engine coolant, replacing with a fresh mixture of anti-freeze and water, if necessary. Also have the exhaust system checked for leaks and see that the windshield ***^***i»******************»i*** R&MTIRETOWN * WINTER -SPECIALS » Guaranteed Recaps From *14°° Radial Recaps From $2295 Truck Recaps All Sizes In Stock.

Of the utmost importance in cold weather is battery condition and charge. Have those checked and install a new battery if needed. Regardless of what other winterizing steps are taken, if the battery is weak, the car won't start. Similarly, an untuned engine will render a perfectly good battery unless. Have battery terminal connections cleaned and greased to guard against corrosion. And don't forget to have snow tires mounted and balanced. You may want to take this opportunity to have the heater and defroster checked for proper operation, suggests the auto club. Car owners living in colder areas outside the Lower Mainland may want to take further winterizing steps. Consult your local mechanics for suggestions. 3. Utilize proper engine starting techniques. Even with a thoroughly winterized car, you may have a frustrating time starting simply because you are doing it the wrong way. Turn all electrical accessories, radio, heater, lights, off before starting the vehicle, advises the BCAA. Resist the temptation to pump the gas pedal. It can flood the engine. Instead, turn the key to "on", depress the gas pedal to the floor once, then release it. Turn the key to the "start" .position. If the car doesn't start within 30 seconds, stop then continue trying, allowing 30 seconds between each attempt. In extreme sub-zero cold, depress the accelerator pedal twice before starting. lf you can smell raw gasoline the carburetor is flooded. Turn off the ignitiion. push the gas pedal to the floor and hold it for a full minute. With the pedal still to the floor, turn the starter. This procedure allows excess gas to pass through the engine. Once the engine starts, avoid extended warm-ups. It simply wastes precious gasoline. Drive off immediately, but slowly, for a mile or two. You'll save time and the engine will warm faster. A Trophy Case by JIM SMITH There arc days - many of them when one believes, passionately, thai the federal government offers prizes to selected departments. The winning'departments are those which conic up with the most bizarre and least sensible programs. Obviously, competition for these, prizes must be fierce. Nonetheless, the Unemployment InsuranceCom- mission deserves to hold a substantial share of the awards. The U.I.C.'s intention is admirable: to case the pain caused by involuntary lack of work.The effect, however, is different from the intent; often, it seems the U.I.C. is responsible for creating unemployment. Certainly, this has been a frequent complaint voiced by members of the small business community. The Commission's treatment of Canadian auto workers provides an interesting example of the U.I.C. at work. Every summer, the aulo manufacturers shut down lo retool their factories for Ihe new models. The shut-down can carry'on for 6 weeks or more. During this period, workers are laid off. Normally, any worker who is seeking unemployment insurance benefits is required to register first with Canada Manpower. Any worker who is not available for work - or refuses work arranged by Manpower - loses all unemployment insurance benefits. Auto workers are differ ent, though. They arc not required io register with Manpower. For Ihe first two weeks of tiie annual layoff, they collect holiday pay. The next two weeks constitute Ihe statutory waiting period. Then Ihey become available for regular U.I.C. benefits plus a special supplementary benefit organized by the aulo companies. Taken together, these benefits equal 05 per cent of a worker's regular pay. Other laid-nff workers employed by bis firms get similar treatment. The U.I.C. has a special provision for mass layoffs of less than seven weeks' duration: under these conditions, the Commission is allowed to waive the requirement of registration for employment. This arrangement has serious implications for all Canadians, not ihe least being the gift of paid holidays compliments of Ihe Canadian taxpayer for cerlain classes of workers. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business poinls oul, quite rightly, thai workers who arc laid-off for any period by a small employer must register immediately for ulher employment if they wish to retain their benefits. When the small employer is in a position to recall the worker, thai worker may have been forced to accept other employment; then the employer must go to the expense of training a new worker. The auto companies don'l lace this problem. Yes, the trophy shelves at the U.I.C. must be crowded with coveted government awards.

The imposter, Maggie T*. is meanwhile said to be negotiating a centrefold appearance in a glossy magazine. Maggie's antics aside, things need not look so bad for the Liberals after all if thev keep people like lona out under the footlights, shaking hands with the commoners. In these times of a terribly troulblcd Grit caucus in Ottawa, there are only a few MP's in the government party who tend to stand out as honest, straight forward and hard working people. One of them is lona. Perhaps it Ib all hype, manufactured and distributed by ulcerated party organizers, but it doesn't seem that way to the voters. What they see in lona is a modern and intelligent woman, who has chosen to make her mark in the field of politics. They see some kind of shining St. Joan who will sacrifice her ail for what she believes in. If the Libs succeed in selling their backbenchers, newcomers and lesser known (lesser ridiculed?) cabinet ministers as the real proponents of Liberal thinking, then who will they have to thank for it? Surely it will be people like lona for a start, but more so it is likely to be people like Joe Clark and Ed Broadbent. These two characters have been Ihe real proponents of Liberal thinking in recent weeks. They arc much finer candidates for cream pics in the mug than sweet lona.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7,1977 17A CHAMBERS Gary mention in public places. The issue that curves the spine, makes hair grow on the palms and leads to deafness and blindness. We speak of the notorious Secret Service Scandal, forthwith known as the SSS. If anything could bring the Grits to their knees in the next election it is this issue, yet the likes of Broadbent and Clark seem stangely silent of late. Perhaps they have been taking too much notice of the polls, which incidentally show the SSS as a rather unpopular issue with the people. Of course it is not a popular issue! When were scandals ever popular? It isn't the popularity one should worry about in this case, it is the duty of a politician on the floor of parliament. Backing off now is like leaving the conjugal bed on your wedding night to go for a cup of beer with the boys. There is no doubt the Liberals are rubbing their grubby little mits with delight over the fact that Broadbent and Clark have eased their attack on the SSS. Now, all that is left os to Royal Commission the whole affair to death, and it will be all forgotten. We can all rest happily in the laps ofthe Grits for another four years or more. Meanwhile, at least in Alder grove. they send us the cream of the crop. lona is the minister of fittness, fun and frivolity, and whatsmorc, recent photo spreads in Canadian Magazine reveal that she has a body that just won't quit (move over Maggie). What it all means is that lona is the Little Bo Peep of the Liberal caucus. Unless the RCMP have been keeping files on bodies that just won't quit, there is no reason to suspect that she has any knowledge at all of the SSS. We will enjoy playing host to this lady of Parliament Hill. We arc sure her speaking engagement in Aldergrove will be well received, and that she will once again'affirm herself as one of the Liberal party's greatest hopes for future leadership candidates. In the interim, we have a little message for Joe and Eddy, from their old friend Dief the Chief. It is our favorite political quothe bar none, and goes like this: "The only people who know what to do with polls are dogs."

T 18A THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1977 FAMILY COURT "1 don't think easy divorce has made people happier" is family lawyer Sefton Lcvine's assessment after years of performing them. "1 see a lot of unnecessary- divorces due to lack of compromise' ' he says. "People have unrealistic expectations about divorce. When a twenty year old marriage breaks up. you're liquidating twenty years of investment. How can you get that back?" On the other hand, says Levine, a two or three year old marriage is obviously less of a commitment and so there's less to lose. Even so, he says, "a lawyer is like a surgeon and every lawyer worth a damn checks seriously to see if the operation is necessary." If the marriage really is unworkable, one of the first steps out is making a Separation Agreement, that is. if the spouses are still talking to each other. It's a written agreement between a man and wife as to division of property, custody of children. visiting rights (access) and support. Each spouse should have his or her own lawyer. Sometimes a wife is tempted to turn to her husband's lawyer; in many eases this is a bad mistake since the lawyer's first duty is to the person paying his fees. A separation agreement does not imply any blame or fault on either side. It's big advantage is that it can easily be changed if both parties agree. And, should one of the parties welsh on the agreement. Family Court can enforce it in all its provisions except property, providing it is registered with the court. A consent order is a more formal level of agreement between spouses and includes provisions about who gets to stay in the matrimonial home. If there's a possibility that one of the spouses will leave the province, then a consent order is better because, as a court order, it could bc enforced beyond the province. Naturally. it's.often difficult for people facing the crisis of marriage breakdown to behave very calmly at all. Matters close to the heart like custody of the children or to the pocket-book tike monthly support payments sometimes inflame tempers in such a way as to make separation agreements and consent orders impossible. Sometimes the state is called into the bedrooms of the nations just to prevent the warring occupants from throttling each other. When a marriage breaks down and one party refuses to leave the home, usually the husband, a separation order can command that he leave, subject to contempt of court charges if he disobeys. Even if the house is in the husband's name, a wife can establish her right to live there if she registers the house as her matrimonial home with the court. In cases where an estranged spouse is harassing the other, the court can order the trouble-maker Can FBDB help you?

This is called a restraint order and the spouse asking for it must prove that the other is a physical threat or a bad emotional influence on the children. The fact that the premises are owned in joint tenancy or rented together does not prevent the applicant from getting a restraining order. The court, through its thankless interventions in family crises, tries to rcfereec the disputants out of their clinch before one of them take off the gloves and assaults the other. Family assault is an ugly affair that sometimes takes place in marriage breakdown but, often as not, debases long-term, stable marriage too. It's estimated that 4,000 women a year are the victims of serious assault by their husbands in the Vancouver and Lower Mainland area alone. Husband-beating is not a significant problem. It may come as a surprise to some but wife-beating is a criminal offence, as, in fact, is the beating of anybody, family or not. The law does allow the hitting or striking of children but only within reason. Pat Ross, head of the United Way's Task Force on Family Violence, complains that "the law and it's administrators don't provide much protection for the battered women." Family lawyer Penny Bain writes "Convictions in family assaults are often difficult to establish, as there are very frequently no witnesses. Also, in practice, wives might find the court staff reluctant to take a charge of assault which is not sustantiated. as it is quite common for the wife to drop the charge subsequently with the result that the whole procedure wastes a good deal of the court's time." Often, the police will take no action unless the victim has previously managed to get the cad placed on a Peace Bond for an earlier offense. In fact, arrests are only made in 7% of the cases where the police are called in. Family assault cases are dealth with by the Family Court but are charges under the criminal code. Assaults on common law spouses are dealt with by the regular ciminal courts. But Ross claims that the most practical thing a battered woman can do is get out. Temporary housing is available in a string of transition houses that are being set up throughout the province.

Teachers' Federation president Pat Brady Friday expressed dismay that education minister Pat McGeer intends to shift another five mills of school tax onto the local taxpayer. McGeer announced on Thursday that the 1978 basic mill rate would rise from 37.5 mills in 1977 to 42.5 mills in 1978. Brady pointed out that the 1976 McMath commission report on assessment and taxation had recommended that the provincial government pick up 75 percent of public school costs within five years. "Instead." said Brady, "the ministry proposes to reduce the share paid out of general revenue to about 37 percent from the present 42.5 percent. Since the present government took over we've seen a 60 percent increase in the basic school mill rate levied on the local property owners. This government is moving quickly in . reverse. The 1975 basic levy was 26.5 mills." ' Education benefits all society. It is not fair to expect property owners to bear an ever increasing share of the cost. Brady reasoned. "The provincial government seems to wish more and more control of education while paying less and less of its share." Open first fori great holiday photos.

NCIFfiB 22470 Fraior Hwy., Langley 530-5347 530-6201 Decide what kind of CB radio you nam. A regular' AM model offers 40 channels while the more sophisticated single-sideband model gives you 40 AM, 40 upper sideband, and 40 lower sideband modes. Then consider where you are going io put il. Will it go into your car, under-dash or in-dash, or how about a 3-piece model, portions of which can be concealed? Is it going in your home as a base station? When you go in lo huv your CB, look il over carefully. Does it reflect quality work manship using quality materials? Are you pleased by its design, how it looks? Of critical importance is the manufacturer's name and reputation. Since you can'i lake the CB apart to look inside, the manufacturer's name must be easily recognizable and stand for quality. Do they have years of experience in the electronics field? Have you bought other electronic products with this manufacturer's name on it, and were you satisfied with their performance? Ask for a demonstration. Listen to its reception qualities. Does it sound good? How does the reception of the unit compare with other makes, and models in different price ranges? Availability of service centers is something you shouldn 'I forget. Ask to see a service center list put out by the manufacturer. Or check the yellow pages of your local phone directory, and look for centers that advertise that they repair that manufacturer's products. Some manufacturers have factory service centers that repair all of their electronic products. Are these centers spread throughout the country so that you can get service if you are on a trip? Are parts for your CB readily available through a large network of distributors? Discuss the features ofthe CB with the salesperson. Do you need this switch or that dial? Would it be worth the extra money to move up to the next price level to get the features you consider important? Select an antenna that works well with your CB. A good way to do this is to buy an antenna from the same manufaclurer as your CB set. Look over the selection and decide if you need a trunk mounted one—a good overall selection: magnetic mount—portable, easily removed; gutter mount- works well on station wagons and pick up truck or vans: cowl mount—replaces the regular radio antenna in your car's fender. Ihus disguising the installation: dual mount—ideal for truckers, or a whip antenna—usually about twice as long as standard antennas and mounts on bumper.

Poppy secondary school are well into the basketball season now, having participated in two major tournaments. The school placed second in both events. The most recent tourney took place al the Oak Bay secondary school in Victoria. Sixteen players and the school coach journeyed to the Island last weekend to square off with five ntlior schools. Highlights of the round-robin competition included a game between Poppy players and Oak Bay's home team, in which Poppy wound up with a tidy 52 points over their opponent's 40. Pal Burns of D.W. Poppy scored 22 points in that game. Another high point scoring game took place when Poppy faced students from Victoria's Belmont school on the courts, langley's Ross Jewell marked up .' I points for D.W. Poppy in that /^amc. and the .Island players went down to defeat with a final score of 58 to Poppy's 63. Poppy players put up a fine .Icl'cnsc in both games. This was made evident by the fact that they held off Oak Bay all the way to the start of the second half, allowing the islanders to net only four points and establishing themselves as the leaders in the match. Inspite of their fine showing on the Island the local players did, however, yield to the leading team in the Island league. Students of Nanaimo's Bardsby secondary school defeated D.W. Poppy with a score of 53 to 31. and wound up the top place team of the tournament as a result. Final standings from the Victoria tournament placed the teams in the following order: Bardsby school, D.W. Poppy First place Nanaimo; Second place school. Langley; Third place - St. Thomas Moore school. Vancouver; Fourth Place - Belmont school. Victoria; Fifth Place - Arbutus school, Victoria; Sixth Place - Oak Bay school, Victoria; The Oak Bay tournament followed another jamboree style tourney held on the home front. The home tourney also resulted in D.W. Poppy placing second in a field of five. II was held last Wednesday and the first place slot at the end of that match was held by students from Brookswood secondary school in Langley. Both Brookswood and Poppy enjoyed 3*1 win records in the round robin event, although Brookswood slipped ahead by being the only team to defeat D.W. Poppy. Third place was taken by Mountain secondary school with a 2*2 win record and the fourth place finishers were from Mountain secondary in Langley, also with a 2-2 record. Final position in the five team stand-off went to the Stafford secondary school who were defeated in all four games they played. In the local tourney, each game was shortened to half the usual time length. By TAMI QUIRING ALDERGROVE-Well, we did it again. On December 3, Aldergrove Market travelled to Brookswood arena to again play Langley Kiwanis. The game was exciting as usual, with our cheering sections leaving with sore throats. The game started with Aldergrove taking the face-off, and Langley getting the first penalty. Langley was first to score at 18:26, when Adel and Karen slipped in the ring. Aldergrove Market hammered in the next six goals. Sue Kerslake scored the first, assisted by Pat Mcdonald. Mcdonald scored two at 15:04 and 4:02, assisted by Kim Ross and Kerslakc. Ross scored at 5:19. assisted by Tami Quiring. Cheryl Thompson was next to score at 3:23, assisted by Laura Young and Jackie Branscombe. Debbie Parkin scored our last goal of the period at 2:15 assisted by Thompson. Langley whipped in one shot before the buzzer marking the end of the first period went. This goal was put in by Sandy Jones assisted by Karen and Adel. The score at the end of the first period was Aldergrove 6, Langley 2. When the second period began, l.anglcy had the ring, but Aldergrove quickly gained possession if it. Aldergrove was first to score al 19:56. when Ross acted on a break away. She was assisted by Kerslakc. Langley scored their third and final goal at 9:15, when Karen, assisted by Sandy and Shelley English, scored. Aldergrove scored three more goals before the end of the game. Kerslakc scored the first and'the third, assisted by Ross and McDonald at 8:21 and 6:09. In £ fl between these two McDonald scored, assisted by Kerslakc at 7:11. Two girls from Aldergrove got hat tricks, Kerslakc and McDonald.

We're doing better, but we can't be satisfied. Inflation still exists and it hurts. Ask the poor, the pensioners, the Canadians who have worked hard for yeag ~~ to build up some retirement savings -they know better than anyone how truly critical this problem can be. A serious part ofthe overall problem is the popular beliefthatthe rate of inflation can't be influenced by individuals. That's just not true. Inflation exists as a result of all our actions; it will be beaten by all our actions, includinggovemment, labour, business, and yes-individuals.'

Changes in assessment law now make it possible for property owners to accurately measure whether they are fairly assessed. Your 1978 property Assessment Notice, issued by the British Columbia Assessment Authority, is in the mail and will be arriving at your door shortly. An information brochure explaining the changes accompanies the notice. When they arrive, please take time to read both carefully... Why changes in assessment law? Assessments had become outdated. They had become inequitable in terms of their actual value relationships. Properties having identical market values were assessed at widely differing amounts. This resulted in some owners paying more than their fair share of taxes and others less. The new law required production of the 1978 assessment roll based on fixed percentages of actual value for each class of property. This means thu the inequities will be removed, and that iv.ch class of property will be assessed on the same basis. In ail, it provides a fairer way to share the cost of essential local services. What will happen to taxes? The assessment roll provides the rate base used by municipalities, school boards and other local governments to raise the funds necessary to provide essential local services. The costs of these services determine the overall amount required to be raised by local property taxes. The purpose of the change in assessment law is NOT to raise more taxes but to provide a fairer basis upon which to apportion the costs of essential local services more equitably between property owners. Since assessments are now directly related to actual value, your assessed values may be higher or lower than in previous years. An increase or a decrease in your assessed values from those in effect last year does not necessarily mean that your property taxes will change significantly, lax notices based on your new assessed values will be issued later in 1978. Is my 1978 assessment fait? As your assessment is now based on a fixed percentage of what your property is worth its fairness can be measured by actual value comparisons. The Assessor's estimate of your property's actual value (market value) is shown on your 1978 Assessment Notice. The fairness of your assessment may be determined by comparing the Assessor's estimate of actual value of your property to your own estimate of its current market value as well as by comparing it to the current market values of properties of similar worth. The percentage of actual value at which each class of property will be assessed is: Residential -15% (includes apartments, condominiums, mobile homes, etc.) Business and Other - 25% (includes commercial, some industrial); Industrial, Utilities, Machinery and Equipment, Forestry-30% The Assessor and his staff will give you every assistance necessary to properly check your assessment. What appeal do I have? Your Assessor is prepared to provide you with a detailed explanation of how your assessment was determined. If you are dissatisfied with the assessment and wish an independent review, a right of appeal is available to you. The procedure to complain is simple and is fully explained on the reverse of your 1978 Assessment Notice. The deadline for any written appeal is January 20,1978. The new assessment method is fully ex-, plained in the brochure that will accompany the mailing of your individual Assessment Notices. Look at your Assessment Notice.. it's different this year! It now shows both the actual (market) vahieandthe assessed value on which your 1978 taxes will be based. mh\ Iassi BWnSH COLUMBIA' ASSESSMENT MITHOAITY Valley Gravel Sales beats Chilliwack rep 3-2 Golden Age Bowling HS HT Aldergrove Midgets are beginning io play the type of hockey thai wins games, mainly positional, disciplined play.

Langley broke away under pressure with Alan Burton scoring a cracker of a goal from 35 yards and the keeper completely midjudging the shot. But Haney still kept coming on strong, their crosses from wings proving dangerous every time. With five minutes to go. Haney tied the game 3-3, with a good goal, but on this showing Langley still remain favorite for provincial finals. As they are top team in Fraser Valley they can expect games like this but, they soak up the pressure well because of experience with talented players.

OK Tire 3 Hi-Sex 3 Aldergrove OK Tire could manage only a tic last Friday night when they came up against league leading Hi-Sex in Men's B league hockey. lt was a close checking sort of game and both goalies made some impressive stops as the shols on goal were 24-22 in favor of Aldergrove. John McNaught opened the scoring for OK Tire four minutes into the game, assisted by Grant Fritzke. There was no further scoring until just before the half ended, when Hi-Sex tied it on a goal from Brian Shead. Hi-Sex opened the second half with another goal when Randy Kirkoski scored unassisted. Aldergrove's Ed Brunoro then scored from Bob Hayes and Ralph Sheardown and it was tied at two. Hi-Sex grabbed the lead again when Ray Kehler scored from Kirkoski and Eden and at this point OK Tire was visibly let down. However, with just over a minute lo play, OK's goalie Guy Pollack crossed the centre line in a race for a loose puck. A penalty was assessed to Aldergrove but it also seemed to wake them up. With half a minute left. Pollack again raced to the bench, this time in favor of an extra attacker. The result was a goal by Tim Castonguay, assisted by John McNaught and OK Tire had tied the game with only 10 seconds left. tyty*n*pflH SUPER SAVERS for Super Givers iSNIFFER andTHESNUFFER; mm SMOKE DETECTOR 2 year guarantee.

In the fall, salmon may be seen spawning at Hanna Creek. If you want d more organized eamp site and boal launch before spending the next day exulting in the Bear Pass glaciers, stop at the Me/ia- din Lake Recreation Site which is used by the road maintenance camp nearby. Surprise Creek five miles further is an aptly named prelude to the beauty of Bear Pass. For the Bear Glacier, the Bear River, wiih its load of melt water, storms over boulders and rushes between narrow moss-laden canyon walls on a tempestuous course to the sea. You will cross it twice over quaint army*style Bailey bridges and past old gold mining sites that remind you of the goldrush days when Bear Pass and its Indian trails was a way of geiting to the Klondike. And then you will leave the pntholed gravel that had been temporarily forgotten in the spectacular attractions of the road, hit the blacktop and roll Carefree into Stewart, ,,.■; >.:-:;'.'\,v O '. Stewart Road, B.C. B.C. Government, photo Where Glaciers glide down to the road By LYN HANCOCK You do not only have to go cast lo the Rockies to find an "icefields highway". Northwest B.C. has one too. Bear Pass on the Stewart-Cassiar Road, or Highway 37. At each bend of the narrow, winding road are towering iee- capped peaks with mountains sides carpeted with dark green spruce forests and spring-green alder thickets and dribbling waterfalls dropping to reed- fringed lakes. And it is the glaciers that make this road an icefields highway, glaciers you-don't have to hike to or drive to in snowmobiles, but glaciers that are right there for lhc touching. First, hanging ones, wedged high between snow-packed mountain peaks, then long pockmarked rivers that spill ever closer to the road. And then suddenly, the most spectacular one of all. Bear Glacier, a quarter-mile wall of furrowed blue ice that spills icebergs at your feet. The lower road, which winds around the lake, is often washed out but you can walk down to the glacial melt water, put your boat in for a quarter-mile cruise to the very end of the icefall and pick up sonic calving chunks for your icebox. Some travellers just plunge a 100 feel down from the road and drag a mi nature iceberg with their hands or an available stick. Remember though, icebergs are bottom heavy and any more than a foot wide will weigh probably a hundred weight. Listen for the shrill piercing trill of the spotted sandpipers which nest among the rubble by the glacier. This is the warning signal for their chicks to freeze into camouflage beside a pebble, under a leaf, or by a patch of lichen. This is the land of porcupines, bach evening at dusk these armour-plated peacocks waddle low-slung down the middle of the road. As yet unworried by tourists, they sidle up. to your feet, raise their gold-tipped quills, stare beadily then continue nonchalantly on their forages. If you choose to camp in a gravel pit across from the glacier, make sure you keep your supplies inside and leave the porkics to find their road signs. Many,..a camper awoke the next day to find a porcupine finishing his break- 54.

To get to Bear Pass the best approach is by way of the Nass River and its bridge north of Terrace or Hazel ton. Opened officially in 1972, the Nass Bridge is the first vehiclular bridge across this river which buils and roars through a steep gorge almosi 400 feet wide and 1.10 feci high. With its parking spaces, litter barrels and impressive camera angles, it is a good place lo plan a picnic.

Because International Harvester has its very roots In ihe farm community, we not only understand the problem, we also have some answers, many of which are built right into our new Loadstar. I-H js proud to Introduce the only all-new V-S's available in medium duly trucks this year. Our goal was to improve performance and yet reduce gasconsumplion. The result is a pair of engines, the MV-404 and 446, and Ihe DT-466, the first rebuildable mid-range high-torque diesel engine. With these options, you can determine precisely which engine choice is suited to your farm needs. To handle the increased torque, every new Loadslar comes with an all-new high-iorque, high load standard rear axle, that employs a larger ring gear and a higher raling (up to 34,000 lbs.). The radiator has been enlarged, electronic ignition is standard, the (use box Is In the glove box, and the optional easy-access fibreglass hood and fender assembly makes service workbench-easy. There are 267 different models of the Loadstar to choose from, so you can tailor It to your exact requirements. The "Gold Slar" program prepackages various models with power, drive-train, frame, brakes, wheel-base, transmission and body all designed to work together perfectly. Superior performance {up to 2& h.p. and 385 lb. ft. torque on the 446); superior fuel economy (up to 15% better gas mileage In an ever-changing world, III I there is one sure decision...
