Aldergrove Days winds up with an Aldergrove Childrens Pet Parade in the mall at 1 p.m. Sunday. See you all there. homeowner. Eastman said. Langley residents, faced with a rapidly increasing school population and a small tax base, have an unusually heavy tax burden. Many families have had a dramatic increase in their property assessments this year. "Teachers arc taxpayers, too. We're concerned about the provincial government's move to shift school costs to the homeowner. We thought it would be helpful and timely to let the parents know how their money is being spent. This year, -we can write our tax cheque with one hand and have a cost breakdown ill the other." he noted. Included in the document is a questionnaire which asks parents to express their opinion on the value of the effort. The teachers have promised to make the results of the poll known to the public. "If the taxpayers find the information valuable, perhaps the board will be persuaded to do the job in the future. The LTA is not a rich organization and this will be a significant expenditure — we measure our budget in hundreds, while the board counts millions. There's some validity. ■ we believe, in the notion that government should provide spending information at tax time," he added. Eastman suggested that parents could return the questionnaire bv mail to Box 3143. Langley.' B.C. V3A 4R5. IMPAIRED DRIVING Langley a B.C. "hot spot" LANGLEY - The old adage: "gasoline and alcohol don't mix," remains as true today as when it was coined several years ago. As a form of driver education when uttered by local school teachers, it's sorely inadequate, according to an official of the attorney-general's ministry. District justice co-ordinator Norm Brown appealed to the Langley school board Monday for better drinking-driver education programs in local schools as another weapon in the counter attack on impaired driving sponsored by his ministry. In 1975, the 16-20 age group represented 28 percent of all alchohol related fatalities in the province although figures released by the motor vehicle branch show they compose only 10 percent of the driving population. Brown told the board that the youngest drivers suffer three times the chance of being killed after drinking than their older counterparts. Tory agriculture critic to visit riding ALDERGROVE - Local M.P. Bob Wcnman will be joined on an agricultural tour next week by fellow Tory colleagues, Benno Friescn, Alex Patterson and John Wise. Wise is commons agricultural critic for the Progressive Conservative party. The tour will take place on Monday, June 12, and an agenda for the event includes a tour of a Fraser Valley farm; lunch with farm leaders; a tour of a processing plant, a* tour of a Dairyland milk plant and discussion of dairy problems with dairymen plus an open dinner and a town hall meeting in Abbots- ford. Wise is expected in the course of the day to outline Tory election policy on agricultural matters including bulb production, egg marketing, broiler hen production, hog farming, turkey farming and small fruit production. Wise is himself a fifth generation dairy farmer. His riding is in Elgin, Ontario. Credits in public life include executive positions on numerous cattle production • associations, administrative work with agricultural colleagues, service as reeve of Yarmouth township, directorships of various planning boards and volunteer work with service clubs and charities including Jaycees, Rotary and United Way. He has also served as a director of farmer's co-operative services in Elgin. He was first elected to the House of Commons in 1972 and won re-election in 1974. In 1976, Joe Clark, PC national leader, appointed Wise chairman of the party's caucus committee on agriculture. Counterattack hopes to launch programs in local schools aimed at dissolving some of the myths attached to drinking driving. "We're not going to say 'stay away from the demon rum, you shouldn't drink,' and all that," ■ says Brown..- ■ , j.;,.■•.,.;.„.— The education program will be developed by a local counterattack committee now being formed in Langley to motivate community involvement against the impaired driver. The attorney-general hopes the local committees, coupled with stiffer penalties for drunk drivers, and increased enforcement, in the form of mobile breathalyzer vans, will curb the problem. Last year, 300 auto fatalities were attributed to drinking drivers. The costs resulting from impaired driving were estimated at $52-million. In Langley, one of the fastest growing parts of the province, the problem is heightened by the youth of the newcomers, mostly former city dwellers buying their first home. "Langley is probably one of the hot spots In the province," says Brown.

MURRAYVILLE - Ernest Sawatsky, 19, of Langley has been released from Langley Memorial hospital after being treated for internal injuries suffered in a workshop accident. Sawatsky was repairing a car at his home on 22996 Fraser Highway when the car fell on top of him. Firemen from the zone 6 fire hall in Langley used the "jaws of life" to release Sawatsky from beneath the vehicle. The accident took place on Thursday, June 1, and the victim was listed in satisfactory condition in Langley Memorial hospital on that day. He was being treated for internal injuries to his mid section. The hospital now shows no record of his condition, indicating his release. Education policy draws further praise Drunk driver sentenced to 18 months in jail MURRAYVILLE - An 18-month jail term was handed down in provincial court Wednesday to a 46-year-old Langley man whom crown counsel warned "has killed one person already, and may kill again." The accused, Kenneth Richard Dolan of 21690 - 48A Avenue pleaded guilty to driving with a blood alcohol reading over .08, an offence the crown said was committed at 8:30 p.m. on January 25 at 216 Street and 48A Avenue. The crown said Dolan's balance was so unsteady he almost fell while trying to perform sobriety tests and had to hang on to the police car for support on arriving at the police station where he produced two readings of .28. A record of past convictions was then read by the crown and included a fraud and a theft conviction in 1968, a drinking- driving conviction in 1974, another in 1975 and a conviction for criminal negligence causing death in 1976. "The criminal negligence conviction involved a motor vehicle and Dolan was also impaired with a reading at that time of .20," the crown said, and went on to describe Dolan as a "grave threat to the community." "The court must consider what will deter Mr. Dolan. Fines and jail terms do not seem to. There must be some way to remove Mr. Dolan from the road," the crown said, adding that a substantial period of incarceration was sought. Defence counsel for Dolan said his clients' problems began in 1968 when he fell down some steps while carrying a heavy garbage can and crushed one vertebrae so badly that four operations to fuse the spine were later necessary. "He is in constant pain, sometimes excruciating," the defence said, adding that Dolan did not drink excessively, but what he did drink was combined with frequent and heavy medication. Defence counsel went on to say that Dolen had'been very careful since his licence was reinstated at the end of last year, had only been driving to the corner store one-quarter mile from his house on the day in question and had a problem with driving at the time because the handle of his gearshift had come loose. Judge H. Swayze commented that Dolan's back injury "may provide some explanation which any thinking person could accept for drinking." But he went on to observe: "The act of drinking and driving is different from the act of drinking," and went on to term the reason advanced by defence "excuse-making of the worst sort." Swayze further told defence that since Dolan's licence was reinstated at the end of 1977 and the present charge arose January 25 this year, Dolan had "been careful" for 25 days. "I do not think there is any merit in being careful for 25 days. Ordinary citizens are expected to be careful all of their lives," the judge said. Turning to the fact Dolan was on his way to the corner store, Swayze remarked that "Drinking- drivers are rarely on cross- Canada trips." He told Dolan that the major concern of the court was not with rehabilitation in this case because that had already been shown not to work. In Imposing the jail term. Swayze said he would recommend to the superintendent of motor vehicles indefinite suspension of Dolan's driver's license. MURRAYVILLE - Langley's new policy for special education received another accolade Monday when the provincial ministry of education announced it will fund a package of improvements and staffing additions to the special education department. Frances Fleming, assistant superintendent in the ministry of education, also wrote to congratulate the school district on its new policy. • She also congratulated the school board for its selection of Dr. Shirley Rawlyk, a former instructor at the University of Saskatchewan, to the post of supervisor of special education. "Obviously, in selecting Dr. Rawlyk, the Langley board of school trustees requested a comprehensive long-term and short term plan on which to build the kind of quality education which.will be a credit to the district," said Fleming. "There has never been a lack off good intentions in your school district toward children with special needs; the enlightened," educationally sound organization laid out by Dr. Rawlyk in what must be recognized as a very short time speaks well for her interest In the Langley district, and her desire to assist the board and staff to accomplish well considered objectives." The policy statement written by Rawlyk since her appointment as special education supervisor in February, enshrines the rights of parents and students to consultation when they are to be affected by a decision of teachers. It also establishes a model for delivering special education to those who need it in Langley, sets down administrative policies, and minimum criteria for teaching staff. Rawlyk's work received recognition in May from the Canadian committee of the international Council fpr Exceptional Children, one of the world's foremost organizations of special educators. The new staffing additions approved by Victoria will improve the present special education system in Langley as the comprehensive long term program is organized. Fleming said she was favorably impressed by improvements in the system carried out since Rawlyk's appointment. Fleming also took the unorthodox step of offering help to Langley to put the locally developed policy into effect. "The result of the implementation of this plan would be early recognition of Langley as a leader in special education programming." she concluded. Accused murderer remanded LANGLEY - A 35 year old Clearwater man facing a first- degrec murder charge in the shooting death of Lcroy William Wannebo appeared in Langley court Tuesday. Wannebo, .37, who lived at 20178 - 53A Avenue. Langley. was killed by a bullet in the head while driving his car down the 200 Street exit from Highway 1. The accused, Ronald Louie Hcbig of Mountain View Trailer Court. Clearwater, was remanded to June 7 to get counsel. Are you an interpellates? MURRAYVILLE-Consideration should be given to a slight change in the motto under the municipal crest. Aid. Art Brooks suggested this week. , Instead of 'nothing without effort' (nihil sine ccvere), the motto in future should read 'nothing without protest' (nihil sine intcrpcllationis), Brooks joked. Councilmcn were discussing letters from Langley district residents concerned with an Aldergrove industrial centre, a proposed motor hotel jn northwest Langley, and a group home scheduled to be built in the southwestern part of the municipality. Objections to all have been received by municipal hall. "There must be some that want it?" Aid. Elford Nundal expressed his hopeful opinion as the motor hotel and attendant 200-scat beer parlor near the 200 Street freeway interchange was being discussed. "It is not right that we just listen to objections." Development officer Mai Harper, however, informed him that he had received no letters in favor, only objections. "It is the same old story," said Mayor George Dricdigcr. "Everyone is saying, 'We want to have it, but be sure that it is not next door to me'. "If that is always going to guide our conscience, how arc we ever to get anywhere?" Following a recent public hearing heavily attended by people objecting to the hotel beerparlor and cabaret, councilors gave first three readings to a land use contract bylaw authorizing the project. Fourth and final reading has yet to come. 2A ALDERGROVE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1978 Regional district receives letter, too ALDERGROVE — Last week a letter of concern on behalf of the North County Line Residents Association in regard to the proposed Fraser Industrial Centre was received by municipal council in Murrayvillc. This week copy of a letter from the same group and signed by secretary Jean Roberts was received by council. This letter had been addressed to the Central Fraser Valley regional district and read as follows: "At the regular meeting of the North County Line Residents Association held on April 10. , 1*378. the membership approved ; 'the motion to direct the following concerns to the Central Fraser '■ Valley regional district. "Mrs. (developer Ainslic) ; Lorctto emphasized the point that • this centre would be attractive to '.'. industry because it would be "the - right kind of quality lease land at ■ the right price' Wc understand ;.Grad drunk ^driving low this year r Continued from front page S impaired driving, hopes to reach t'the "socially-conscious" person [•with its own information pro- •grani. •".

Incidents of drinking driving at "local graduation parties last week " were reduced from previous years ? after class leaders from local j secondary schools helped distribute drinking and driving I literature to the grads. "If alchohol education starts I earlier, maybe the abuse won't ; start so early," says Langley - school board chairman Brian '.

'• The board will also investigate I ways to gdt local parent-teacher ; groups involved in the program. that there has been a change in planning and that some sites will be offered for sale. Does Gloucester Properties (the development company) now intend to offer for sale raw, undeveloped lots and if . so what percentage of these lots would be offered for sale? Our membership is concerned that Gloucester Properties will lose control of the kinds of industries which would operate in the centre if the lots arc sold. "Residents adjacent to the industrial centre and bordering the water systems which flow through the area are concerned that this development will adversely affect their water supply. These residents fear their wells will be drained by the operation of the drilled well(s) used to supply the centre and that the water systems will be polluted by drainage from the centre. What would the Central Fraser Valley regional district propose to ensure these residents with a water supply? "Property owners bordering the proposed site presently zoned R1. arc concerned that the centre will bring no advantages to the community but will bring all the disadvantages of an industrial site: increase in noise, air pollution, water pollution, and increase in traffic. These residents are concerned for the safety and welfare of their children, particularly since there will be a tremendous increase in truck traffic to and from the centre. "Gloucester Properties owns extensive acreages in the vicinity of the proposed centre. Should the B.C. Land Commission approve withdrawal of the 800 acres what would be Gloucester Properties plan in the future for these remaining acreages? There is no doubt in the community that the removal of 800 acres for an industrial centre will change the rural nature of the area and will have a profound affect in the future development of the area. How would the Central Fraser Valley regional district view any new proposals by Gloucester Properties to develop these acreages? "The map of the industrial centre (artist's conception) shows a park area. Wc understand this park is provincial highways property. It appears Gloucester Properties has plans for a retail complex in this area. We are concerned that this complex may have an adverse affect on local businesses. Wc would also be interested to know if there is any provision for user-pay recreational facilities that would be open to the public? Who would be responsibile for the maintenance of this complex? In an interview last week with Star reporter Gary Chambers, Loretto answered the questions raised in a letter from association director John Clifton. The same general concerns are repeated in the Roberts letter. Elderly forced out of their home MURRAYVILLE — "The elderly people are really being squeezed. I tell you, it's serious," Aid. Elford Nundal told fellow council members here Monday morning. Nundal's remarks followed the reading of a letter from Peal Doucette concerning her 1978 mobile home permit. Doucette said the fee for her trailer parked on her daughter's property increased from $216 in 1975 to $432 in 1977 and again this year. In 1973 Doucette sought to have a small lot subdivided off acreage belonging to her son-in- law, but "...after two years of waiting and worrying my 80-year- old husband out of his mind, my appeal was finally denied, and we moved into a mobile home on our daughter's property." Doucette"added that "...the move was too much for my husband and less than a month after he lost his eyesight and his mind." She said the government took her husband's pension to keep him in' hospital, leaving her only with her own pension, an In-' sufficient amount to look after expenses in the mobile home, three times more than what it cost her to live in a small house on her son-in-law's property. "Which I feel I should never have been forced out of." Doucette asked that her permit fee be reduced to the original $216 a year. There is no home owner's grant available for people living in mobile homes on ' priviate property. Councilors decided to review the case. Tynehead decision postponed to June 21 ALDERGROVE - Robin Peterson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Peterson of 25108 - 36 Avenue, graduated June 1 from UBC with a B. Ed. [Secondary] In English. Robin is a 1973 graduate of Aldergrove secondary. COQUITLAM — Any decision on the leasing of 450 acres of Greater Vancouver regional district land, to the Tynehead Zoological Society for the establishment of a game farm in Surrey, has been delayed until June 21 by the GVRD board of directors. A special meeting will be held on that date to decide on the $1 a year lease. A GVRD parks committee had hoped to give the directors a set of recommendations on the matter last Wednesday, but the large amount of data collected on the project has slowed the decision schedule down. Committee chairman Jim Tenn, mayor of Coquitlam, said the sheer volume of briefs received from the public at three public input meetings made a decision impossible Wednesday. He denied that the board was delaying the action due to a controversy over the society's plan to use tax monies to build the complex. One of the most outspoken critics of the Tynehead plan has been Vancouver Game Farm proprietor Hugh Oakes of Aldergrove. Oakes was among the people who presented briefs to the public meetings. He claims that a huge tax supported game farm in Surrey would drive his own independent business into bankruptcy. Bound copies of information presented at the meetings have been presented to board members for their perusal prior to the June 21 meeting. Health dept. makes council's day Irate farmer refuses to pay dog licenses PR job on recalcitrant ratepayer turned down MURRAYVILLE — Councilors here were discussing the merits of hiring a public relations person this week. A letter from a man who is unhappy with the 1978 increase in his property taxation and questioned the managerial capabilities of the present council, had prompted the discussion. Municipal administrator Tom Raincy suggested that a Langley City water sought ALDERGROVE - Seven residents of Jackman Road just north of town have petitioned Langley district council for an extension of a planned domestic water line. Charles Burgess, A.R. Hatchwell, M. Humphry, F. Fairhurst, N. Murphy, T.F. Hawkins and Ewald Ott have asked that the line be extended as far as 3598 - 272 Street. Recent tests of well water in the area have shown contamination. township newsletter edited by 'an outside consultant' might be just the answer in explaining municipal affairs such as taxation in terms that could be easily understood by the layman. For municipal officials to put such a publication together would be a much harder task, Rainey said, since they were "too close to the problems." Councilors have before toyed with the idea of such a publication. This week, however, they rejected the idea of hiring an outsider by a majority vote. "My god, if our own staff can't do it ..." said Aid. Jock Lindsay, shaking his head. The letter from Robert Wilkie, of 20316 - 36B Avenue, was refcrrred to administration to concoct a letter of explanation. Wilkie had explained how he was "appalled" by the amount of taxes he has to pay in 1978. His taxes went from $703.28 in 1977 to $817.77 this year, an increase of 16.28 percent. MURRAYVILLE - Every so often councilmen here grumble about their colleagues in Langley city, senior politicians and bureaucrats in Victoria or far off Ottawa, the weather, and local inspectors of the provincial health department. This week, once more, it was the turn of the latter subject as health inspectors were raked over the coals in absentia. "One day some strapping farmer is going to grab him (health inspector) by the ankles and stuff him right down a sewer hole," Mayor George Dricdiger mused. Several councilmen acquiesced. I They had received a letter from G. O. Holz, of 19752 - 80 Ave., outlining his problems in obtaining a septic disposal system approval from the health department. In this Holz explained that "...every condition that the health inspector insisted on was followed at great expense." Holz wrote that inspector W.D. Koberstein had stated that after trucked-in soil was in .place construction of the septic system should'only be completed after his new home was built, and he had agreed to do this. However, Holz cannot begin construction of his home until he has obtained a building permit, and such permits arc usually not issued until after final health department approval. Aid. Jock Lindsay was in favor of issuing the license. It would in any case be subject to final approval before an occupancy permit would be issued, he said. Aid. Stan Fraser, a plumbing contractor, also had his to say 'J& WJ.MMMiM! 35* or less. Our special long distance weekend rates. So nice. And cheap. I BCTEL^) about the health department. ' 'They only work four days a week and then claim to be so- overworked." he said, adding that as a result the department had had to import assistance from the health inspectors in Mission City. "And they are never in their office," Fraser added. "They are out in the field," Aid. Art Brooks attempted to calm the indignant minds. "Yeah, playing golf," suggested Dricdiger. Land applications before council MURRAYVILLE — An application by Margaret Mielke of 25581 - 56 Avenue, Aldergrove, for permission to subdivide her four acres into two parcels, was rejected by council here Monday morning. P. & M. Gravel Supplies Inc., a company that owns 37 acres on the south side of 88 Avenue east of 252 Street, was given approval to re-open a gravel pit. The company believes that there are between 400,000 and 500,000 cubic yards of gravel left and forecasts employment for about 15 people for five years. Between 20 and 30 trucks are expected to be hauling from the pit on a daily basis. Council also approved of. a request from David and Mary Smith and Lloyd Moffett for an extension to their land use contract involving Milner Valley property. MURRAYVILLE — A letter from a Langley district resident was scoffed at by councilmen here as they referred it to the municipality's law enforcement officer this week. R. Franklin, of 925 - 232 Street, informed council that he would no longer pay licence fees for his dogs since these fees were discriminatory and against Canadian civil rights and liber- tics. "It is unlawful to discriminate against any person or group," Franklin wrote. "In my opinion the dog licensing bylaw is discriminatory in this respect because no other animal owner is required to pay such fees." Franklin said his dogs are part of his sheep farming operating, essential to him, and never leave his property. "The municipality has done little or nothing to control predators (coyotes and dogs) and my losses over the past seven years have amounted to 17 mature ewes and Iambs. Seven were lost in 1977 alone." Franklin said he has had to rely on the game warden for the only assistance he has received. The warden trapped or shot 57 coyotes in South Langley and Surrey in 1977, he said, and has killed a further seven wild dogs in April of this year. "To quote the mayor," he said, " 'this municipality is the dumping ground for dogs and cats that are dumped out of cars by city people who no longer want them'. These animals go wild, some in packs may be the cause of part of the livestock and property damage and the dog owners of Langley arc penalized to subsidize any cost of control that may be involved." Cattle and horses also do a fair amount of property damage, he said. How about licensing them as well? And what about the lions, tigers, giraffes, llamas and cheetahs? "And then there is the two-legged kind (of animal) that pollutes and litters the countryside. How about a poll tax for these?" All animals should be licensed, he said, and this could finance full-time control officers, a pound, and a staff veterinarian who could neuter animals and thereby curb their unwanted reproduction. ft fen got '00 MUCttt We are clearing some stock, and slashing prices to do It.

MURRAYVILLE — A 49-year-old man who bought a bicycle for his son with a cheque that bounced, was fined $100 in Langley court Wednesday. Gordon Henderson Stout appeared before Judge H. Swayze pleading guilty to obtaining $130.97 worth of goods by false pretences November 18 last year. The crown said that on that date Stout had bought a bicycle and parts from Country Cycle Ltd. in Langley and had paid for his purchases by a cheque which had been returned NSF. Later investigation showed that Nixon! live! on stage! SM <$$&■%*■!*- By ARTHUR HOPPE Some newspapers have been running a serialization of Mr. Nixon's latest book in which for $2-million he explains the explanations he sold David Frost for $1-million last year which explained all the explanations he gave away for free when he was President. So he's doing better all the time. It should come as no surprise, then, to hear that the famed imprcssario Milton Habcrdash is putting together a package deal which will include $4-million for the movie based on the book, SB-million for the novel based on the movie scenario, and $16- million for a multimedia, tragicomic, toe-tapping, son ct lumier theatrical extravaganza (with fireworks) based on everything else. This last, scheduled for production in 1984 and starring Mr. Nixon himself, will be entitled, "What Really Happened — My Side of the Story." Producer Habcrdash is frankly pinning most of his hopes on the stage version. "The movie and the novel should be socko," he said. "But it's possible we may reach the point where some people may tire of Mr. Nixon explaining his explanations on film and in print. "This will give the public a chance to sec and hear Mr. Nixon in the flesh explaining alive before a live audience. Doesn't that sound refreshing?" Habcrdash said that Mr. Nixon — whose voice he described as "a quite adequate little baritone" — would sing several numbers in the show. These will include, "I Never Knew", "How Long Has This Been Going On?" "Jaworski- is Breaking Up That Old Gang of Mine" and the ever-popular country western, "I'm Sick of Pinin' (so I'm resignin')." Habcrdash said this format would not only "jazz up" the show, but would provide an opportunity to blanket the nation with a two-word advertising campaign: "Nixon Sings!" "Personally, I think that's got even more pizzazz than 'Garbo Talks'!" the old-time producer said proudly. Haberdash said the plot hadn't been worked out yet, but he expected Mr. Nixon would explain the June 23 memo explaining the May 30 meeting concerning the January 14 confrontation over the October 25 explanation — or perhaps, the other way around. He said he was confident, however, that in the end Mr. Nixon would once again plead giulty — guilty to being too trusting of others, too warmhearted toward the aides who betrayed him and too devoted to the salvation of mankind to worry about saving his own skin. Furthermore, he would once again pin the blame squarely where it belonged — on the influence of his wife and mother, both of who were saints. Habcrdash conceded that he had not yet signed Mr. Nixon to a . contract for the movie, the novel of the theatrical extravaganza. He was confident he would, however. "Mr. Nixon may not care about the money," said Haberdash, rubbing his hands. "But he's proved there's no way he can quit explaining." ■':'■•''" ink p\a^s 'S.T206? sq.ft.

Strata owners claim overtaxation ALDERGROVE — Objections from a group of strata property owners here to payment of the usual frontage tax were heard by district councilors in Murrayville Monday morning. And several of the councilors expressed sympathy to the concerns outlined in a letter from Bryan Beaulicu, president of the strata plan NW 667 owners at 26684 - 32 Avenue. Beaulieu explained that all the piping systems in the strata development are contained entirely within the common property with the exception of the mainline water and sewer connections at 32 Avenue. "We think we have been overtaxed in these areas since the minimum frontage taxable of 100 feet has been applied to each of the eight units even though we have no more mainline hookups than the conventional single unit dwelling," Beaulieu wrote, "and regardless of the fact that we are responsible for any repairs necessary within our property to these piping systems." Beaulieu said that in all fairness the minimum frontage should only be applied once to the entire housing development. Roads are maintained by the owners who also pay for their own street lighting and repairs to other services, Beaulieu said. The letter, addressed to Aldergrove Aid. Art Brooks, was tabled for further discussion in committee pending recommendations from the township's engineer and solicitor. OTTER DISTRICT FARMERS' INSTITUTE i SERVICE STATIONS' PRE-INVENTORY B.F.

Joseph Heller explains the term in his novel of the same name. If you're insane, you can ask to be relieved of active combat duty. But there's a catch. If you ask to be relieved of combat duty, you obviously can't be insane, because any sane man would choose to be taken off active duty. It appears that we have our own version of Catch 22 in the Canadian postal system. Under the dictates of some little publicized change, the post will no longer deliver mail which does not carry a postal code. They simply return it "Insufficient address". Fair enough. It seems obvious that at some point in time the post office would have to require the codes if its new coding system was ever to become universally adopted. But, there's a catch. You can't mail a letter without the code. But, the post office won't tell yoii the code that you need to mail the letter to your Aunt Tilly in Peggy's Cove. If you thought that you could simply phone the post office's special postal code information line you're wrong. This service no longer exists. The post office has cut it out because it was too expensive. In Victoria, it employed five people. The only way to get a code now is to go down to the post office and look it up yourself in the postal code directory. How convenient! How lucky our senior citizens are that they only have to take a bus trip downtown if they want to mail a letter and don't know the code. -Juan Do Fuca News Wave the flag, by jingo "Step right up folks!

The Council for Canadian Unity is a non-profit, non-partisan organization with a fervent vision of a New Canada where regional differences are obliterated under a sea of waving flags and sparkling lapel buttons. It's a lovely vision, but we just wish that orchestrated flag waving and artificially hyped up patriotism wasn't so frequently the deliberate prelude to dealing with a vexing problem by violent means. —North Island Gazette Oh, boy When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so Ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.

Jarvis-Gann, like many California propositions, is complicated, here, however, is the abbreviation as it will appear on the printed ballot of the slate of California: "Proposition 13. Tax Limitation — Initiative constitutional Amendment. Limits realty tax to 1%; (permissible annual) increase (limited) to 2%. Imposes Vi voting requirement on new taxes. Financial impact: Commencing with the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1978, would result.in annual tax losses of local government property tax revenues (approximately 7 billion in 1978-79 fiscal year), reduction in annual state costs (approximately 600 million in 1978-79 fiscal year), and restriction on future ability of local governments to finance capital construction by sale of general obligation bonds." The wording of the Proposition is on the order of the recent national poll: "Do you believe that the government should help to make medical care cheap and universally available?" To such a question, only Snidely J Whiplash would vote, No. *** But a lot of people in California are going to vote Yes for proposition 13. Up until recently, it was taken for granted that the combined pressures of the state's big spending lobbies, which usually contrive to get the benediction of the local chapters of the National Council of Cnurches (which pay no property taxes) but throw the fear of God and Mammon into the voters. But then, throughout the state, the new property assessments were drawn up. In some suburbs of San Francisco the property assessments rose by as much as 75 percent. Inasmuch as California's high middle class is slowly recognizing that inflation plus progressive taxation equals gradual impoverishment, there is a feeling in town that the time has come for drastic action. Governor Brown, of course, opposes Proposition 13, but it cannot be said to have commended itself as his cause militant. All the candidates are wary. Assemblyman Ken Maddy, running for Republican gubernatorial nomination, .expends effusive time praising the proposition and its initiators ("The Jarvis-Gann initiative has sent a clear message to the politicians in California. The message is that the people are tired of the continued growth of government ...") while formalis- tically opposing it ("However, the Jarvis-Gann initiative creates, in my opinion, more problems than it solves. The ambiguity of some provisions could result in endless judicial hassles ..."). Not nearly so many judicial hassles as resulted from the ratification of Somewhere in Vancouver, Doug Collins is shaking in his boots. Brian Westwood has taken to journalism. This week. Mr. Westwood, the obstreperous chairman of the Langley school board, back from a three day stand in Prince George that drew mixed reviews, takes over to rebut a recent article contained in this space. For the speed reader, here's a point by point summary: • Politicians have curried favor by doing nothing. • Langley's school board is unafraid. • IDEAL (Westwood's opponent in the last election) is a camp follower of the Langley Teachers' Association. • The aforementioned IDEAL froth at the mouth while wailing on the local media. • The LTA support seediness in the classroom. • Westwood's critics arc really attacking the voters of Langley. • The LTA. its cohorts, and the local press advocate a return to bloated bureaucracy. • The school board will make peace witn the LTA as soon as the LTA president recognizes the basic principle of democracy. • Greg Thomas sees the world through rose-tinted glasses. • Gary Chambers' 'inane muttcrings' against Westwood will place him in contempt with other than the lunatic fringe. • Brian Westwood represents a lot of people who care about the future of their children, their tax dollars, and their country. A complete text is printed below, without comment, at Mr. Westwood request. *** Greg Thomas' May 24th column took a hard swipe at me personally and the school board generally. I welcome this opportunity to set the record straight. The Back to Basics movement is not spent. For the record, it is gaining momentum across North America. The reason? Intelligent citizens desire a return to common sense, clear thinking and better use of their tax dollars....by all levels of government. For too long politicians have not spoken their minds. Have not rocked the boat nor concerned themselves with lower standards and the growing bureaucracy coupled with its eternal partner, crushing taxation. They curried favor by doing nothing. By not making waves or worrying about the sensibilities of others. They spoke hollow phrases as the system sunk into the mire. Enter the present Langley school board. A board unafraid. A group that will rock the sacred cows of education. Is it any wonder that the executive of the LTA and their camp followers (IDEAL) recoil in horror? Of course not. However, our duty is not to them. It is to the most important group of people in any democracy. The voter. Twice these voters have returned the Back to Basics trustees with resounding mandate...(62% in the last election). Their message is clear. Carry out the policies you advocate. The wraiths, still dressed in their IDEAL mantels, froth at the mouth while wailing in the local media. The Cranes, Kellingtons, Koeppens, Moss's, Terry Eastman and the Surrey Teachers Association (who last year referred to the Langley board as Ku Klux Klanners, Nazis, Facists) wring their pens with crocodile tears while asking why GREG THOMAS this board won't talk to them. 1 wonder why? The LTA claim there is no professional input in our policies. Balderdash. Every member of this school district staff, with the exception of the district superintendent and secretary treasurer, is a member of theLTA and the BCTF. What is more, every policy passed by the board is drafted by one committee or another which is composed largely by professional educators. Dr. Sampson says collars and tics arc approved dress in our schools. Horrors screams the LTA. It is our perogative to induce seediness into the classroom. Educational accountability and testing (similar to how things are run in the real world) should be implemented, says the board. Good Heavens no, shrills Mr. Eastman. Everybody knows, he implies, that we are all excellent teachers. That our only concern is for the student welfare. Even to suggest there might be one bad apple in the entire barrel is to smear us all. What utter bunk. What has this present school board accomplished? • The first ever commendation from the Canadian Committee of Special Education for "the most forward looking special education policy ever tabled." (Their kind words refer to Langey's simple implementation of automatic screening of all pupils entering the system. Which means that never again will a Langley child or his parents go through the agony of coping with a system which doesn't realize he or she has an audio-visual or developmental problem.) • A learning situation kindergarten system. Gone are the days when at the zenith of his or her learning power, a child was bored in a maze of aimless socializing. This kindergarten system is now being studied by other districts for possible implementation. • Testing will be re-introduced in the 78-79 school year to establish district norms...which haven't existed up to now. • New report cards have been adopted which honestly tell Mom and Dad how their child is doing in relation to their peers. • Douglas College is building a campus in Langley which means our children can obtain access to higher education in their own community. (This also produces jobs, services as well as tax base in Langley). Still they whine. It is amazing to me the contempt which is heaped upon a group of people who are doing the job for which they were elected. It is, 1 believe, an assault against the voters of Langley. The LTA, their cohorts and the local press might advocate a return to bloated bureaucracy with its subsequent cost increases. But this is what we were elected to prevent. And we will. With apparent joy, the press reported a difference of opinion between Peter Fassbender and the board. What is so strange about that? Peter has every right to differ in his opinion. We would hate to have it otherwise. Greg Thomas says the board "has been bombed to the peace table". Absolute rot. Mr. Eastman can have peace tomorrow. All he has to recognize is the basic principle of democracy. Elected representatives of the people have the final say. Not trade unions. This board is willing to debate,' listen and amend. Based on what is best for the taxpayer and the child. If we can agree with the LTA, so much the better. However, the public school system in Langley is once again being run by the public's representatives. And under public control it will remain. Greg Thomas is a fine young jounalist who will go far. Unfortunately he sees the world through the rose-tinted glasses of a 16-year-old. Twenty years from now when Greg has a family, mortgage and pays taxes, he will see life from a different perspective. As for Gary Chambers, self confessed anarchist, and his inane utterings against me... sufficient to say that his advice to Italy's Red Brigade (to come to him to learn how to really run a revolution) will place him in utter contempt with other than the lunatic fringe. So Greg, I really don't mind what you say about me. You see, 1 represent a great many people in Langley who want things done the way they are being done. Those who care about the future of their children, their tax dollars...and ' their country. the Bill of Rights, but never mind. *** What is refreshing about Proposition 13 is its arrant inversion of the usual priorities. It is conventional to fight over whether to pass this or that costly legislative measure, repeal this or the other one. Proposition 13 begins at the other end — by saying to the legislature of the State of California in effect: "In any fiscal year you may not spend, from revenue raised by property taxes, a sum of money equal to more than 1 percent of the value of that property. As to what you decide to do without in the way of state services — you people figure it out. That's what you in Sacramento are for!" 1 wish I had said that. Any number of objections are available. Ideally, Proposition 13 would introduce a timetable less abrupt. So, if it passes, the legislature will have to move quickly. If I were a Californian, that wouldn't npset me. Let them move quickly. Proposition 13 invites the legislature to introduce drastically painful economies designed to mobilize public support for repeal of Proposition 13. Ah, but there is an election coming up in November, and these are games that two people can play. The legislators have the voters to answer to. We are overdue for a tax revolt.

Letters To The Editor Let's douse the fire Won't you do something about it? Editor, The Star, Sir, Concern about a statement I made during an interview with you has been brought to my attention. The statement was that I had felt the (then) present kindergarten program lacked the necessary challenge which the public required, and even my own daughter was expressing signs of boredom due to this. I only mentioned this because I believc.it adequately expressed one of the reasons for a needed change. I was upset during the interview because of Mr. (LTA president Terry Eastman's remarks that the new program was "imposed by the board with no LTA input" when in fact 13 teachers and principals spent months on developing the program with no trustee input other than direction. Furthermore, those kinds of statements only continue to feed the fire wc are so desperately trying to extinguish. I am still sick and tired of the constant attacks on the school board by certain LTA executives and their political followers every time we bring new direction and programs to Langley. The present board has instituted a new program that is not only innovative to Langley but also has received praise from all over B.C. and Canada. This is why I reacted, and so I should have. 1 was by no means referring to any one particular school or teacher in my remark, and I apologize to whoever I may have offended. I have expressed myself to the staff at my children's school and hope this clears the matter with those who have expressed their concern. I would ask that anyone who has further to discuss with me to contact me personally at home, rather than using the newspaper as a battering ram. Let us keep educational items positive in Aldergrove and in the rest of the municipality. We only hurt our community if we don't. Let us all try a little harder.

I ' v~, Jut Editor, The Star, Sir, I have recently came in close contact with a half-way house • shelter for runaway kids. Being a runaway myself I have had reason to stop and wonder: What are you running to? For many of us, we simply don't know. Finally the governments throughout the provinces of Canada got together to supply runaways with places where to run. But, aren't these places supposed to help organize the persons' thoughts to help cope with the situation that the runaways are already faced with? Yes, ... so they advertise. But while my stay at the Children's Shelter ift Calgary, Alberta was short I quickly learned differently. How can these organizations possibly help the kids when the houses are disciplinary rules are ridiculous! For example, when you are brought to a "shelter" you no longer have any rights as a Canadian citizen. And I always thought all Canadians no matter their age, creed, color or religion had rights. The way I saw it is, even if you are a rapist, murderer or into a jail you are quoted your rights and allowed one phone call. This is not the case at a "shelter". You may not use the phone, no matter how urgent. Not even if you wish to contact your family to tell them you want to ome home. It all has to go ,-hrough a social worker: many of whom are barely more than kids themselves. Stop and think about it for a minute. How would you, a parent, like to have your child given no rights what so ever? Sure it may sound great to give them a little dose of discipline. But if your child has left home he or she doesn't need discipline half as much as understanding, and plenty of it. There doesn't appear to be any understanding' at a halfrway house, there are only social workers, and hostility, and that's certainly not what a runaway Is looking for. He or she surely got enough of that from the place called home. I personally think that if this problem is to be overcome the parents and kids in a community are going to have to pull together., It can begin in the home. Won't you do something about It? NAME WITHHELD. AriMMM^i ■nw ALDERGROVE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1978 5A Production line workers no artisans Canadians are an amazing people VANCOUVER - The results of a Toronto study on the effects of reducing school class sizes come as no great surprise, the president of the B.C. Teachers' Federation said last week. "The only thing that was changed in this study was the number of pupils in the classrooms." said Pat Brady. "No attempt was made to train teachers in new instructional methods designed for small classes. It's little wonder the researcher was unable tb find much evidence that smaller classes improve pupils' achievement levels. "That's a little like taking a worker off the production line, pulling him in a small crafts workshop and expecting him to become a skilled artisan overnight with no further training. It's just not a realistic expectation." Brady said a campaign to reduce class sizes in B.C. schools has been a major thrust of the BCTF's activities for several years. But, he added, the federation recognizes that teachers will need special training in the use of appropriate instructional techniques in order to produce the best possible results from smaller classes. Brady was commenting on a recently published study by Dr. Stan Simpson of Simon Fraser University and three Toronto researchers. In this study grade 4 students and teachers were randomly assigned to classes of 16, 23, 30 or 37. The following year each student and teacher was reassigned to a class of a different size. Simpson's team reported, after monitoring classroom activities and administering a battery of tests to the students, that students in llic smaller classes performed little or no better than those in larger classes except in t he area of mathematics concepts. Brady said the Shapson study is one of a number that have appeared in recent years thai seem to cast doubt on the benefits to be derived from smaller classes. But he noled that many of them have methodological weaknesses and often have been based, as was Shapson's on a relatively small sample of students and teachers. Shapson's study used 34 teachers and fewer than 1,000 students in II Toronto schools, and lasted only two years, the first of which merely established baseline data. On the other hand, Brady said, Martin N. Olson, then of Teachers College. Columbia University, collected data from 18,528 classrooms over a period of years and concluded that small class si/e was a significant indicator of quality education. Olson found thai "with only two small exceptions to an otherwise perfect linear relationship, smaller classes exhibit significantly higher scores than larger classes," Brady said. The BCTF some time ago asked education minister Patrick McGeer to commission a major study in B.C. of the effects of reduced class size. B.C. teachers are so convinced of the educational benefits of smaller classes, combined with appropriate teaching techniques, that they have offered to put up $200,000 of their own money to finance the study, Brady said. McGeer suggested the BCTF offer be made to the United Society for Education Review in B.C., which is planning to begin next fall the first major examination of public school education in B.C. in a quarter-century. Brady said he has invited Dr. Shapson to meet officials of the BCTF to discuss his study and the ■ implications of his findings. Brady said the BCTF has been in touch with the Toronto school board, which commissioned the Shapson study. Dan Leckie, chairperson of the board, said the study had received little attention either educationally or politically in Toronto. Leckie considered that it was not a definitive study, and said "Our board is still of the opinion that we need dramatic improvements in class size." AAHxHeReWEARe... IWOT^NAFFDRPABie/ B.C. residents undereducated While politicians in Ottawa wrangle and haggle over expenditures, when has the Canadian public ever heard of any opposition to Canadian Broadcasting Corporation costs. Last week Canadians heard the 1977 CBC budget totalled $487 million dollars. CBC officials have asked parliament for this amount plus $55.4 million more for the )78 fiscal year. In comparison to other countries let us examine this Canadian non-productive monolith. Canadians pay three times as much as the Japanese; twice as much as the British and 1 Vi times as much as the Australians for their respective broadcasting systems. The cost of running the Japanese system is $6.31 per person; $8.50 per person in Britain and $13.29 per person to run the Australian system. The proposed CBC budget would mean each Canadian will subsidize the corporation $22.32 compared to $19.25 a person last year. But most amazing of all there is one CBC staff member for every $1,925 Canadians. The Japanese have one staff member for every 6,642 people; the British one staffer for 2,177 and Australia one for evory 2,086 people. What has happened to our parliamentary committee in charge of CBC policy and spending? It must be embarassing to our $30,000 plus per year elected politicians to have the CBC vice president and general manager say — comparisons do not bother me — "It makes me feel real good." "Twenty dollars a year (approximately the cost of the CBC subsidy for each Canadian) is pretty cheap," Don MacPher- son said. MacPhcrson's last remarks are pretty questionable when Canadians have to listen to some VANCOUVER (CP) — Almost one-quarter of the adults in British Columbia were either illiterate or severely under- educated when the last census was taken, says a University of B.C. education professor. Gary Dickinson, of UBC's adult education department, says in his report that 20.1 per cent of B.C.'s population — 316,625 adults — liad fewer than nine years of school according to the 1971 census, and about 62,000 adults (3.9 per cent of the population) had less than a grade 5 education. On the basis of a population of 1.5 million aged 15 and over, the figures point lo an alarming number of adults with little or no employment qualifications, the report says. "The criterion of less than five years of schooling provides a measure of what might be termed absolute illiteracy, while that of eight years or less assesses the population that is severely undereducated and thereby inadmissible to most existing vocational training programs," Dickinson says. HAVE LITTLE TO OFFER "The initial and continuing education of Canadians is based almost entirely upon literacy. Consequently, those who lack facility in reading and writing arc virtually uneducablc, and without education, their employment prospects arc diminished. Dickinson found that the incidence of undercducation was lower in B.C. than in other provinces. "In Canada as a whole, more than five million people had eight or fewer years of schooling with 6.4 per cent reporting less than five years and 27.3 per cent five to eight years of schooling," the report says. "In terms of the percentage of population affected by undercducation. the figures for British Columbia were the lowest of any Canadian province. "In actual numbers of people, however, only Ontario and Quebec had more persons with less than nine years of schooling." The report says although the percentage of B.C. adults with fewer than five years of education has halved since 1941, the total number of people with that level of schooling has increased by almost 50 per cent during the 30-year period. of the tripe coming over Canadian airways. They are more questionable when it takes a much lesser staff to operate CTV which docs a superb job of programming with professionals at their microphones. Nobody, but nobody in Ottawa has the courage to take on the CBC and "tell it like it is," for fear of hurting some autocratic bilingual politician's feelings. While every Canadian industry and business is attempting to hold the line on capital expenditures and operating expenditures the CBC — a non- financial producing crown agency is asking for $55.4 million more and additional staff, many of sooner subsidize the CBC and whom arc untrained and do not forget about the high taxes, lend anything constructive to the inflation, unemployment and cost CBC image. of living.

Not bad in the sense of angry or ugly. Bad in the sense of gloomy, depressed. And not without reason. After riding a post-war boom, with industry thriving, new money coming in. new opportunities opening up, and a general sense that the man might be right after all, that the 20th century did belong to Canada, we have skidded to a low that hasn't been touched for decades. Trouble is during that boom, wc grew accustomed to affluence and a measure of case, and we weren't built to cope with that. Wc were a rather dour, independent, sturdy people, far more used to battling for an existence than lying around enjoying life. We just couldn't cope with the ideas: that wc would get a raise in pay every year: that practically everybody could own a house or car or both: that there was a job for everybody; that we might even be able to borrow money from the bank in a pinch. All of these were alien to our Canadian experience, which had always maintained that life was real and earnest, that fun was almost sinful, and that if things were e,c>ing well, you kept your lingers crossed and knocked on wood. Those of us who had grown up during the Depression, of course, never believed for a minute that the prosperity would last. We went around like so many Jeremiahs, warning the young of i he horrors to come when the bubble burst and boring them to death with tales of our own impoverished youth. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, the boom didn't end with a bang but a whimper. We Cassandras of gloom were scoffed at. There were still plenty of jobs. Everybody could go to college, on loans and grants. Everybody really needed a summer cottage or a ski chalet or two cars or three snowmobiles. The banks would lend money to anyone who didn't have two heads, and the loan companies looked after them. The Canadian dollar was buoyant, and we were a little sickly glad when the Yanks had to pay a dollar and five cents for a Canadian dollar's worth. II' you were temporarily between jobs, unemployment insurance was easy to get and fairly generous. If you were really strapped, you could go on welfare and sit home watching TV. If you got sick, hospital insurance looked after all the bills. Gas for the car and fuel lor the furnace and food for the belly were cheap and plentiful. And then the rot set in slowly. A touch of mould here, a cockroach crawling there. Strike after strike after strike made us one of the world's most unstable industrial countries. As a result, capital investment began to dry up. Another effect was that many of our manufactured products had priced themselves out of the world — and even Canadian — markets. Branch plants began to close as their owners pulled in their horns and retreated to the comparative stability and higher production of the U.S. Other plants running three shifts cut to two. then one. Foreign investors found more fertile fields for their money. Our armed forces became ineffective for lack of funds, and lost much of the pride they had once held in their role in NATO. It snowballed. Inflation became more than a topic of conversation: it became a bogeyman. Then suddenly, there wasn't much gas and oil left and their prices soared. A new. ugly racism reared its head, sparked by the fact that so many immigrants did so well with so little, because they were willing to work. A separatist party was elected in Quebec, and it was a whole new ball game. The employment force swelled steadily, while new jobs failed to keep up. Huge mining and smelting companies which had been stockpiling their products because other nations could buy them cheaper elsewhere, closed down and put thousands of well-heeled workers on the pogey. Small farmers fell by the wayside when only the big ones could survive. And we kept paving over valuable farmland with'asphalt and concrete. Retired people saw their life's savings gobbled up by inflation and the falling dollar. Small businessmen cut back on staff and service in order to stay in business. Doctors, fed up to the teeth with overwork and bureaucratic interference. began heading for greener and warmer, pastures. University students, toiling over their books, grew ever more bitter as they began to realize that the country did not want or need them, that the chance of a job on graduation was paper-thin. Thousands of high . school students who should have been out working, went back to school and lazed away another year, because they were a drug on the market. , And governments, national, provincial and local, wrung their hands and waited for the wind to change the miracle to take place, while they went right on spending more and more taxpayer's money. It's not much wonder that the prevailing mood of the country is morose and suspicious. But surely a nation that toughed it through two world wars and a world depression is not going to roll over and die. We ain't licked yet. And spring will be here. Probably bv the first of July.

The names were signed to a petition against a curfew regulation imposed recently by Langley city council. While Donna Passmore, representing the Youth Coalition Against the Curfew, presented the petition to the town fathers, both mayor Bob Duckworth and RCMP inspector Bob Galbraith defended the petition. The pair cited high rates of vandalism as a prime justification for the time limit on juveniles being out after dark. Passmore called the bylaw a violation of young people's rights, while Dean Drysdale, president of the local Progressive Conservative youth group, called the policy repressive. Juveniles under the curfew are 16 years of age and under, and they are not allowed to be on the city streets between 11p.m. and 6 a.m. A number' of high school students as well as Passmore and Drysdale attended the regular council meeting, all claiming the curfew is a violation of their rights. Is river water polluted? COUNTY LINE — Aid. Art Brooks reported to council Monday morning that he had had some trouble trying to find out who, if anyone, is taking water from the West Creek for domestic purposes. At a recent meeting of the North County Line Residents Association, concerns were being expressed that an industrial development in this area could cause pollution to the river to the extent where residents no longer could take their potable water from it. Brooks said he had been in contact with a director of the association, but that his investigation had left him none the wiser. The alderman who is chairman of the municipality's health and welfare committee, said that if water is pumped directly from the creek a test should be made now by health officials and if future tests should show a deteriorated rating, then the residents would have legitimate cause for complaints. Brooks is himself a long-time resident of the area, although his property doesn't border the West Creek. Some of the youths blasted council for failing to provide adequate recreation outlets for young people. Teen discos were cited by the youths as a type of recreation facility they desire. Insanity cited in acquittal NEW WESTMINSTER -^ Ernest Daniel Snowden, 39, formerly of Aldergrove, was acquitted last week in B.C. Supreme Court here, on a charge of murder. The man shot his wife and his 10-year-old son to death and caused serious injury to an older son, 14. Charges of murder were laid against him for the shooting of his wife Mildred, 38, and son Bradley, after their bodies were found in the Snowden home about seven kilometres east of 100-Mile House. The shootings took place last December. A supreme court justice' found Snowden not guilty by reason of insanity on both counts of second degree murder. He has been committed to the forensic psychiatric unit at Riverview hospital for an undetermined period of time. Dismissal in census case MURRAYVILLE - A charge of neglecting to fill in and return a 1976 census form, laid against a Langley man, was dismissed for lack of evidence in provincial court Tuesday. Wayne King of 20479 - 42A Street pleaded not guilty to the charge. Edith Hubbard, the census- taker for the area at that time, testified she had called back to King's home eight to ten times and finally collected his census form filled in with the name and address and nothing else. She was not able to identify King positively in court. Kara-Tessa Pinto building perfect history SOUTH COGHLAN - Savonah's Dandy is a Pinto pony which together with rider Sisi Billheimer is building quite a history of first, second and third place finishes in western Canadian pony competitions. The surprising part of the story is that Savonah's Dandy was never really expected to go very far. The consistent winning history of the horse started four years ago when Jon Billheimer, Sisi's father, responded to his daughter's wish for a horse. At first he was not really interested in Pinto stock, but when he found Savonah's Dandy going for a very reasonable price int he old DIAL Horse Magazine, he thought he would look into it. When he visited the pony's owners he found that Savonah's Dandy had already logged a few wins in western pleasure classes, although it hadn't been trained at all for English riding. The conformation and marking of the Pinto was extremely good, and so he bought Savonah's Dandy. That was four years ago, and today Sisi's bedroom wall is a configuration of first, second and third place ribbons from various shows and competitions. Savonah's Dandy's laurels include four halter championships and three major reserves. His most recent big win was at the Cloverdale pony show where he won the championship over a purebred Arab. The ten-year-old pony was sired by Risheel of Crabbet Park in England. Risheel has an excellent show record on the Canadian west coast, although unfortunately there arc very few ponies around from the late stud's bloodlines. Jon and Marg Billheimer of Kara-Tessa Farm on South Coghlan plan a very active summer for the pony and their daughter this year. Events they expect to enter include an international event in Calgary, and a number of other shows in B.C. and Alberta. Sisl Billheimer and Savonah's Dandy strike an elegant pose In Ihe noonday sun.

The crown told the court the accused. Allan Champagne of Suite 103, 2920 Gladwin Road, committed the offence May 18 at the intersection of the Fraser and King George highways. The crown said a complainant had told police a black Volkswagen had suddenly stopped in the middle lane of the roadway, a youth had got out, run over to the bench and seized the bag which contained about $18 worth of groceries. The youth had then darted back to the car, pursued by the shopper who grabbed back the bag before the youth got back into the vehicle which fled the scene, the crown told the court. An older sister who came with Champagne to the court told Judge Doug Reed her brother Allan had been "kicked out of our mother and father's home" on the day the offense took place and at that time had nowhere to stay. "Since 1 took him in, he has been much better. He is seeking employment and when I am working, he is taking responsibility at my house with my daughter," the sister said. "It's a pretty unusual sort of event; suddenly stopping in the middle of the highway and making off with someone's parcels. Sounds like the old West," Judge Reed observed. "I will take this as an isolated incident," Reed told Champagne as he granted a conditional discharge accompanied by a probation of one year.

The board commissioned a committee of secondary school principals to examine various methods of reporting and come up with a report by this month, so that a standardized method can be implemented in September. The report will not be ready for June. It seems the committee hasn't come up with a recommendation. "There's a lot of money that we've got in report cards as it is now." explained H.E. Cullis, director of secondary instruction, at the board's regular meeting Monday. "Each school prints a lot of report cards, and there are quite a few on hand." The school trustees voted to have an inventory of available report cards carried out. Secondary schools still choose an individual system of reporting despite the board's efforts to implement a district-wide standard. Until this year, differing report cards resulted from differing schedules. Some schools used the semester system, others the quarter system, and others the ten-month system. A district wide ten-month system of scheduling was recently approved for the 1978 - 1979 school year. Elementary schools adopted a standardized report card this year, and a district wide report card for kindergarten will be introduced in September. Nominees for awards picked MURRAYVILLE - Councilmen here, urged on by a letter from the Union of B.C. Municipalities, will be looking into the length of time for which old-time officials have served the township. The UBCM letter points out that during the 1969 and 1970 conventions, certificates of appreciation were presented to 15 ■ mayors, reeves and aldermen who had served for 25 years or longer. Among these were Mayor Bill Poppy of Langley and Aid. Bill Scott of Matsqui. Local officials feel that Aid. Bill Blair who still serves on council, might be getting close to qualifying for such an award. Another Langley nominee is former councilor and reeve Noel Booth. ■V Library dedication Aggregate High Point In English riding went lo Brenda Grovue of Oltcr 4-H.

Rick Mcllwaln, photos FORT LANGLEY — Wanda Murphy, the retiring librarian who had bandied the books at Fort Langley junior secondary school since it opened in 1965, will be honored at a dedication ceremony at the end of the school year. The Langley school board granted approval to a request from her colleagues Monday to have the Fort Langley library dedicated in her name. Several presentations will also be made to the veteran educator, who taught 37 years before becoming a librarian. Fort Langley's outstanding collection of Canadian works, collected since the school's opening was one of Murphy's most well known accomplishments. No date for the ceremony has been announced.

It was mid winter and a nippy wind whipped our ankles as we shuffled through the back door of the local watering hole. In the lounge a wandering minstrel was singing so called commercial lyrics far too loudly, and a busy bar staff raced between tables to keep liquids flowing. Hardly the scene for a gathering of philosophers. Yet there we sat, resplendent in our editorial togs, ready to solve the problems of the world over glasses of spirit and soda. The elder sage leaned over his glass to toss the opening blow in a shattering battle of ideas. "I think everything is going to break loose," said he, "we are heading out of an age of decadence into an age of renaissance. There is going to be a great revival of the arts and learning." "Great!" quoth 1, "tell me more, 'tis music to my bored stiff ears." "With it will come a return to old values. Religion is going to become very popular, the family unit will start to thrive again. Who knows? We might even sec the return of the hoop skirt." "Oh no!" I gagged, "not that, anything but that. 1 am very partial to the bare thighs of the ogposile sex." "Too bad," said he, rubbing it in with a fiendish grin. "People are tired of fighting. This time they arc going to step back and let the government take control. Bugging is going to become commonplace, and there just won't be any room for radicals. They will come and drag you away sure as fate." I quivered in my damp shoes, and gulped "down the warm liquor, hoping I would soon feci the glow of courage it brings. Could he be right? Could that be where rock music, credit card sex, human greed and wanton behavior is leading us? Are we going to go back in time? *«• Back to the present. It is late spring and I'll be darned if renaissance isn't knocking at the door. 1 have yet to see a hoop skirt, . but just about everything else looks like it is waiting to happen. The most abnormal things have been happening to me. I have given up smoking, bought cowboy boots and hat. I drink near-beer and sit around reading the Bible. Abnormal? Well, its abnormal for me, 1 don't know about you. They tell me Baptists don't dance. I don't know what's going on. I once danced with a Baptist, and a heck of a lot more besides. She is at peace with God, 1 think. I thought about asking a preacher friend of mine, but he's probably just as confused as I am. Does anybody out there know where all this ends? A friend of mine says he agrees we are in a depression, and he agrees it will get worse before it gets better. He just disagrees on how bad it is right now. I don't know what's going on. Nobody tells me anything. How many, annual mini-recessions docs the government announce before it drops the biggy? What about queers? I'm all for legalized homosexuality and equal rights for fruits, but if the Gay Rights movement wants to hold a revolution, I think I'd rather be on Anita Bryant's side. It's not that I'm a bigot or anything, 1 just have a penchant for survival. P.E.T. made it legal to be abnormal, so why don't they shut their traps and go back to the Thunderbird Club? I'm fed up with hearing them interviewed on tv. Boy I get nasty when I get wound up. Next on the firing line, please. Did you hear about the federal government? They don't know where to pick up the extra votes they need to win the next election, so they are starting to search among the most obscure pressure groups. The other day they, announced that they are considering the legalization of beastiality and buggery. Lock up your sheep and buy your daughter a nice long hoop skirt. What am 1 saying? Pressure groups are driving me nuts. Way back in the 'sixties the women's libbers were screaming for abortion on demand. Now they have it and they are still screaming. What do they want, an abortion counter at K-Mart? A lady 1 know with the Right To Life pressure group tells me that if I bite off a piece of this issue I better watch out, because the libbers will try anything to discredit me. Yeah, well them and whose army? If there arc any sweet young honeys out there who would like to use this column for a week to say what a male chauvinist pig 1 am, just give the office a call. But watch yourself the week after because it's spring time and I feel rather bullish on going forth and multiplying. How come I don't get hate mail anymore? 1 say worse things about people these days than I ever did before. I think it is not fair. 1 am entitled to hate mail at least once in a while! It just won't do, do you understand? (Maggie come home, the kids arc crying and the government is stoned. Come home and I promise to call aner-'ction). Legalized marijuana. Somebody said 1 was for legalized marijuana. Come to think of it, 1 think it was me. Well I want to amend that. I am not for the legalization of marijuana. I am not for the anything of marijuana. I wish there were no laws about the weed. I wish everyone could understand that it is a drug just like aspirin, alcohol and valium, then if they want to go around smiting their bodies with the stuff they can do. Why do people in government spend more money enforcing crazy laws then they do on telling us why the crazy laws exist? I don't understand. Don't they like us? 1 sometimes wonder if they arc trying to kill us all off. I'm not trying to be nasty or anything, I'm just totally confused. Everything 1 was ever taught to be true is falling apart. If the Jews are chosen people why do the Arabs have all the oil? Has anybody tried sinking a well in Israel? 1 kid you not. I am merely confused. Waylon and Willie have a point, what do armies do when the jeeps run plum out of gasoline? I have taken up horse riding again, but I doubt whether they have considered that at the Pentagon. Gun laws are going a bit too far I think. I always hated guns and still do in a way. But on the other hand I do have a soft spot for revolutionaries, and it was a saintly revolutionary who wrote in the American constitution that the people will have the right to bear arms. Could that have been because, like me. the old dude didn't want to be without a weapon while the government walks around with a regular arsenal under its belt. Mcthinks I'll buy a 45mm Colt just to be on the safe side. I don't trust governments. All this renaissance stuff can be real hard on a man. It brings him to the unpleasant realization that when he is breathing his last breath he is going to need more than last rites. He's going to need a rcprivc. LANGLEY CITY — It isn't really the kind of place you would expect to find the main security link for the Maple Ridge, Langley and Abbotsford school boards, not to mention numerous businesses in the valley. You drive through the main business section of Langley and take a rather obscure turn into a row of small and unasuming warehouses, in a medium sized office area at the end of one of these warehouses is Altronic Alarm Systems. This is the first and only digital alarm system licensed to operate in the lower mainland, and it provides the most modern and effective security against vandalism and break-ins available to business and government at reasonable prices. The front of the office space is rather like a doctor's office. A lady sits behind a reception window to welcome visitors to the establishment. Behind her is a row of three offices belonging to the sales and managerial staff. At the end of the hallway are two bullet-proof, locked silver doors. The only way to get through these doors is to convince the operator behind them, via the intercom system, that he should let you in. If you can manage to do that you can open the first door, only to be confronted by another, exactly the same. This, in a tight security situation, enables the person in the control room to look at the person entering and close the door on them if they do not check out to be waht they say they are. Once inside the control room you would find it to be rather simple in appearance. There is one small wall covered in electronic boxes, a small desk manned by a lone operator and various other wall coverings such as maps and chalk boards. Altronics general manger Fred Miller explains that this simple control room is capable of reporting a break in the moment it occurs at any one of the company's numerous security stations.

The system uses ordinary phone lines for its report lines, and the lines are wired in such a way as to report on each other. If an alarm system at one location is broken or tampered with, a hook up into a nearby location will report the breakdown immediately. This makes it virtually impossible to bypass the alarms. Any activity on the alarm lines is reported by the operator in the control room to the police department, and a record is made of the incident. If no break-in or illegal activity is found, the entire alarm line is checked out within 24 hours. Altronic presently has a full employee complement of eight people, but expects to be experiencing a 50 percent increase in staff in the very near future.

There were three events, all of them joyful occasions when church members were able to meet in Christian fellowship. In the morning there was the regular service of worship, in the afternoon a Sunday school walkathon and in the evening a pot-luck supper. Sunday, you may remember, was a hot and beautiful day. It's especially good to sing praises to the Lord when the doors of the church are open to let the fresh air of summer come in and the songs of praise go out. The morning service included plenty of singing with the choir and Ihe Jubilation Singers taking a prominent part. A report of the 53rd annual United Church B.C. conference was given by Gordon. Newell. He said that the theme of the conference was "renewal for mission". The church is in need of renewal, to God's formula, not ours. Evangelism is vital and can only be achieved by members going out to spread the Good News. A church is not a place to which we come, but a place from which wc go. Rev. Ford's sermon was based on "renewal for mission". He used as a text Luke 5:1-7, which tells the story of Jesus inviting Peter to cast his net into the lake to catch fish. Peter was a professional fisherman who was tired after fishing all night without success. However, Peter did as the Lord said and caught an abundance of fish. Ford said that if evangelism is going to succeed in the Aldergrove urea then individuals must respond to the Lord's invitation to cast a net into the lake, like Peter did. There is certainly an abundance of potential Christians who need to hear the message of salvation. In the first three months of this year 123 new families settled in the Aldergrove area. A story which was heard at the conference came from Dr. Roy Nechall, the theme speaker, who is a West Indian, from Trinidad. Evidently the Gospel was first brought to the island of St. Croix in the 18th century by Moravian missionaries. They were allowed on the island on conditions that CONSC/fHCf AND COMMENT Military might always used B) REV. K.NEILL FOSTER Emphasis in the news these tliiys is on disarmament and NATO, on banning the neutron bomb and neutralizing the Russian menace.

They are building the biggest military machine in history. There are two things that bother...me.

Houghton presented 12 girls with The command of Jesus to cast our their wings and one girl shoes as nets is very clear. The success she had not been in long enought that there has never been a military machine built that was not used. Is this the sudden exception?" To buttress the Colonel's pessimism, authorities can cite all kinds of statistics that show the awesome strength of Russia and Iter allies in Europe. The Colonel is right too — ultimately. every military machine is used. That possiblity in a nuclear age is unthinkable. But the thinkers now assume that world war would be so terrible no one would dare to start one. If men were in their right minds, true. But humanity was stained with a sinful and corrupt nature millenia ago. That is why there will be wars and rumors of wars. Thai is why when they say peace and safety, sudden destruction will certainly come. Our authority — Ihe words of the Son of God. will surely come when we reply: "if you say so, Lord." The sermon was followed by congregational prayers and an invitation to any who wished to dedicate themselves to the service of the Lord. In the afternoon about 40 children, parents and Sunday school teachers enjoyed a six mile walk in the country. The sponsored walkathon took place between Ross Road school and Huntingdon Road. The money collected will be used to continue to support a child in Haiti. The pot-luck supper was held in the Aldergrove United Church hall on Sunday evening. About 90 people attended and enjoyed a splendid meal to which every family contributed some home cooked dish. After the homemade feast there was homemade entertainment. Conspicuous contributors were: Harvey Schultz, host; Clarence Jeffrey, song leader; Sybil Borgal, piano and organ; Janie Huff, piano and sword dance; Sheila Knapp, flute; Roy and Myrtle Bcggs, song; Cindy Knoller, piano; the Crozier family, piano, bass and two violins; Edlcen Bcnn, songs; Kathy Kerry, Irish dance; Hjalmar and Hilda Lundeberg, song; the Jubilation Singers, songs. The very fine occasion was brought to an appropriate end with a prayer. ANGLICAN CHURCH (Four Saints Langley) ST.

No cost dispensation ALDERGROVE — Jack Leoppky of Summcrhill Estates Ltd. Northpark Properties Ltd. has asked Langley district council for dispensation fr'om the payment of impost fees on a 28-suite rental apartment block in downtown Aldergrove. Loeppky cited difficulties in constructing this project because funds under the assisted rental program no longer arc available from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. He also pointed to the benefits to the township in case the project could be started soon, such as increased tax base and no municipal development costs. Councilors, however, had no mercy. They rejected outright the request for a waiver of the expected $44,800.00 impost fees.

It was slowed up a little last week as they lost two out of three games and allowed a little room for the rest of the league teams to close in. The standings are close and a pretty exciting end of the season battle is shaping up among the top teams. The Kings and Bears by contrast have had slow starts but both "have come alive and seem ready for a late season surge.

The move is pari of an overall push that seems to be in the wind to place the small but growing agricultural industry on a firm footing. Aldergrove goat keeper Marda Newstead ill an Interview with The Star last week, said one of the biggcsl hurdles most goat farmers lace is gaining testing facilities for their milk. Raw milk products must be tested on a monthly basis for buttcrfat content and overall quantity. This is to help the breeders find out where their best producers arc and. therefore, enable them to embark on productive breeding programs. The milk lests are entered into computer records and checked against comparable animals all over the country. "Here in B.C. wc have about the finest goals in North America." said Newstead. She explained that American visitors who see the stock on Canadian goat farms are ama/.ed by the quality, but they do not buy the Canadian breeds because Canadian farmers have no test records to prove the goats' output. "Through select breeding wc have imported the best and improved on the best." she stilted, adding lhat without a testing program it is not possible to turn this excellent breeding into a reasonable profit for the farmer. The problem is that existing dairy test facilities require the farmer to be milking 20 goats of one breed before testing can take place. Although some goat farmers can comply with this requirement many others, like the Newstcads, can not. They arc milking many registered'goats of assorted breeds. She said in the interview that if tests could show that one breed or set of bloodlines delivered better or greater quantities of milk, she would be eager to start narrowing the herd down to high production animals. In the interim, however, finance dictates the animals be kept just as they arc, productive but not selective. The goat farmers are also busy trying to put together a co-op which could process their milk products, although this too requires financing and Newstead is not sure that the majority of the goat farmers can handle the cost without help. She explained that if the farmers could find the money to start a co-op they could also begin pooling their animals into herds of 20 or more of the same breed, and comply with the existing testing requirements. Attempts hove been made on numerous occasions to gain a association has been turned did personally authorize a grant grant from the province for the down, although last year ag- for an annual banquet for goat co-op. but so far the goat riculture minister James Hewitt breeders. Langley field naturalists observe the snake feast Bv MARY PASTRICK LANGLEY — Early in May the Held Naturalists had a nature w alk up in Sardis, This was a joint field Irip with 5(i members from the V.N.U.S.. While Rock and Surrey and Ihe L.F.N, touring the Sky Meadows area. Many spring flowers were noted in the woods that is both a nursery and shelter to the many species that embrace the hillsides on Mrs. Tyc's wildlife sanctuary. It is in this area that the phantom orchids grow. Last year Mrs. Tyc found a double stemmed phantom orchid among other delicate, white flowers, that mysteriously appear in different areas each year. The scenery is very picturesque from several points on her property and the view overlooking the Columbia Valley is beautiful, Cullus Lake, from this spot almost looks square. Rich farmlands take on the effect of a patchwork quilt to the east and west of the Chilliwack area, and to the north, snow crowns the mountain tops. Two interesting observations for the day were a pair of garden snakes that tried to feast on a large slug. The first snake approached, mouth wide open and took the slug in it's mouth, spat it out. then began to rub it's mouth on the grass and leaves as if to take the taste out of the mouth. After a few seconds the second snake took the slug and slithered backwards down the bank, to complete the feast. The second observation although not on the Sky Meadows property, was a trillium with 25 white petals, which was also found in the Sardis area. The young man that found the trillium quite a distance in the woods, had moved the bulb and all up near his home for closer observations. The plant had three normal green leaves (although two leaves were slightly chewed by insects but the flower had one flower petal over the other and appeared to look like a miniature water-lily flower. The centre had smaller petals and not the normal seed formations. May 7 'no one had bothered to come and sec it.' However many of the naturalists have a very unusual trillium to add to their collection of slides and pictures. Next field trip will be on June 1.1 at Williams Park, meet 7:30 p.m. for a workshop, weather permitting. June 24-25, Manning Park, meet both days at the nature house at 10:00 a.m. Leader John Ellens. Next L.F.N, meeting June 20, in the Langley Arts Centre at 8 p.m. A members slide night will follow, after elections of new officers. Puberty the correct age of consent - Rodgers NEW WESTMINSTER — Accused sex offender, Raymond Rodgers. told a county court here that in his view, puberty, and not an age limit, should be the main factor in determining the age of consent. A former mayoral candidate in Abbotsford. and assistant to a former B.C. attorney general, Rodgers is charged with having had sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 14. The girl is now 16, and her name is being withheld at the request of the bench. She was 13 at the time the alleged offence took place. Rodgers, 43. told the court that the law prohibiting sex witli a girl under 14 is arbitrary and wrong. He claimed for example that the girl in question had reached full sexual maturity at the age of 12. He added that he did not feci attaining full physical maturity made a girl automatically ready for sexual relationship with a man. Rodgers claimed he is against men having relationships with very young girls due to the possibility of pregnancy and other complications. He denied having intercourse with young girls although he admitted that he did enjoy their' company. The professional planner told the court that he did not live his life in a cultural shell but had friends of all ages and intellectual capacities. He explained that he tried not to develop relationships molded around cultural stereotypes. A breakdown in his relationship with the girl began to take place Nanny goats arc milked dally at (he Newstead farm, but milk tests are needed to make the business thrive.

Rick Mcllwaln, photo Application with district cancelled ALDERGROVE — District councilors ill Murrayville Monday morning turned down a request from Sinar Utama Enterprises, a quasi-religious group that owns acreage in the North Jackman Road area, for an extension to their land use contract application filed with the municipality. A couple of years ago council approved in principle a communal type farm proposed by Sinar Utama. The group then filed an application with the district. Since then Sinar Utama officials have tried to talk council into letting the farm dispose of its effluent through a branch line to the Aldergrove sewage disposal pipe where it passes by the farm in the County Line area. Councilors have rejected this proposal. A SOUND IDEA FOR FATHER'S DAY MINOLTA XL-660 Minolta Sound 6,000 Projector LIST M5000 SALE PRICE Crayonne Bathroom Fixtures From England.

He said he felt at 14. the girl should have been turning her thoughts in that direction. The girl, said Rodgers. would be viewed as sexually desirable by any normal male. Further proceedings revealed the charge Rodgers faces today may have been Ihe result of a "loose" RCMP plot to destroy Rodgers' chances of election as mayor of Abbotsford. Defence lawyer Jim Vilvang said evidence has shown that the girl allegedly violated, and her moiher, made no attempt to contact authorities regarding the alleged offence. Rather, the RCMP contacted them. Vilvang noted that when Rodgers was running for mayor in 1976, he ran on a platform of amalgamation of Abbotsford and Matsqui. This could have resulted in the phasing out of the Abbotsford RCMP, as Matsqui has its own municipal force. Vilvang argued that the RCMP, therefore, had good reason for not wanting Rodgers to win the election. Rodgers was charged with the sex offence in early October of 1976, and he ran for mayor in November. The defence counsel stated that RCMP only laid the sex offence charges after a series of interviews with the girl, spanning six months. The trial continues. 1 I.F.Butler & Sons Ltd.

Four buses provided transportation to the four homes and the weekend retreat caboose with the tour times at each of the residences staggered between the tour hours of ten to two. Each bus load visited two or three of the residences, had a lunch break at the Langley arts centre, then toured the remaining homes. The warmth and sunshine showed off the refreshing appearance of the pools and surrounding patio areas at the Vernon and Issack homes. Most of those touring took time to linger around the pools, enjoying the relaxing atmosphere and wishing for a swim. The master bedroom suite at the Vernon home was particularly attractive, done in medium pastel shades of blue and yellow and overlooking the pool. The large attached full bath and adjoining walled outside garden retreat added the finishing touches. The entry area of the Issack home was spacious, containing a foyer overlooked by the open balcony of the children's floor and possessing a two story high ceiling. The checked carpeting done in tones of brown and grey was most striking and blended well with the striped wallpaper of the same tones. The Boyle home exemplified country rustic at its finest with the generous use of wood, tile, stucco, antique brass and handmade rugs and, quilts all done by owner Joanne Boyle. These elements of decorating combined with their fine collection of paintings and antiques made for a most comfortable homey atmosphere. The dever, and sometimes surprising, arrangment of antique to present day memorabilia in the Valenti home lends, it an air of humor and imagination, as does the unusual but workable combinations of color, texture, and pattern used on the walls, floors and furniture. One doesn't expect to see the life-like appearance of Richard Nixon peering from the top of the amoir in the master bedroom (actually a rubber mask) or the use of similar but slighty different patchwork patterns on the walls and carpeting in the bathroom, topped off by a cloud pattern paper on the ceiling. The Esalcn's weekend retreat caboose topped off the tour with it's uniqueness as a place of residence being appreciated by the tourers. The spaciousness inside was surprising; the caboose possesses a woodburning stove, kitchen cupboards and sink, enclosed chemical toilet, sleeping facilities for three, a dining table and four wine barrel chairs, seating and storage areas in the top windowed section of the Restaurant and dining guide 5eveNseA5 restaurant 33486 South' Fraser Way, Abbotsford Full Licenced Specializing in Chinese Food FREE HOME DELIVERY • Within 3 Mile Radius • Minimum Order $7.00 10% Discount on Take Out Orders You Pick Up Yourself Dine In Our King's Palace Monday • Thursday 4:30 p.m. -11:30 p.m. Friday & Saturday Sundays & Holidays Additional Parking At Rear 4:30 p.m. to Midnight 4:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. 853-8311 or 853-8312 PIRfWS Ph*A m * SPABHET71 HOUSE Steak & Lobster Italian Dishes Pizza Take-Out Service 27279 Fraser Hwy.

Its cheery painted interior of white, yellow, red and green and patchwork motif balanced well with the woodsy, stream-crossed surroundings. To complete the picture was the appearance of the owners decked out as engineer and conductor. The atmosphere of the tour was friendly and fun, helped in part by the outgoing bus hostesses and the bus drivers themselves. The Aldergrove bus driver, Bill Ridley provided his passengers with music a la 8-track tapes and passed around mints for the final leg of the journey back to the Langley Legion parking lot. Although some of the buses got lost along the tour route, instruc tions were shouted out by passengers who knew where to go when the maps didn'tl All in all, a successful day for the tour planners, the homeowners and those who took the tour and have provided much needed funds for the building of a community theatre.

Unemployment a dirty word Leading leprechaun of the Irish Rovers, Will Millar (above) has been winning friends and influencing people with his group for over 13 years. Consistently popular with their television Super- specials on CBC-TV, the Irish Rovers are International superstars who have made Canada their home. By JIM SMITH Unemployment has always been a dirty word. Lately, though, it's showing signs of becoming something even worse: a boring word. There's nothing like '12 months' of daily newspaper headlines to make most of us lose interest in an issue. Actually, unemployment has not been treated fairly. We have, without exception, ignored the desirable effects of unemployment. For instance, unemployment has created many new jobs in Ottawa where bureaucrats must tabulate the unemployment rate and publish booklets about government programs which purport to fight the menace. Unemployment creates work for Canada Manpower personnel. And it creates work for newspaper reporters. If we didn't have FROM THE BACK PORCH Bill Clark There being of late much hysteria in the public mind it occurs to me (somewhat whimsically, it must be admitted) that a golden opportunity exists to dwell on the subtle differences between a columnist...AND A WRITER. The hysteria arises from a torrent of words in the press and on television which suggests that the Royal Canadian Mounted police are not galloping off into the sunset, singing "Rose Marie", in a rich and resonant baritone. In sordid fact, it seems they have been caught in skulduggery involving illegal break- ins which Watergate seem like a Boy Scout picnic. The gentlemen of the press and TV attack each day's crisis as a starving man savages a hot and fragrant roast. When the issue has ceased to spit hellfire and brimstone and the headlines have cooled, the story is consigned to the morgue wherein rest the bones of all stories which have ceased to be NEWSI The writer, oh the other hand, takes the bones and constructs a broth that endures. If it is a good broth, it sticketh to the ribs and endureth for all time. If it isn't the writer waits for the next scraps of left-overs and tries again. On the off-chance that some meat remains on the bones, the writer will eat itl The worrisome thought in the. public mind is that if the boys in scarlet jackets are guarding the house and the chicken coop... WHO IS WATCHING THEM? Which brings us, in leisurely fashion, to Mr. John F. Parker. «»* Mr. Parker was one of the boys in blue. In short, a cop — but not, it must be admitted, the cream of the crop. His record is interesting. He had been charged with using vile and insolent language to a superior officer. He insulted a woman who asked for police protection. He had been charged with being drunk and disorderly in a house of prostitution. He was found sleeping in a streetcar while on duty. All charges were dismissedl And at 4 p.m. he was to report for special duty. He was three hours late. The job was simple. He had only to guard a door. The most important door in history. By 9 o'clock he was bored. He departed for a nearby tavern. He appears in history the following day at the local precinct, dragging a prostitute by the arm. The desk Sergeant dismissed the charges. John F. Parker, obviously somewhat the worse for wear, was advised by his sergeant to go home and get some sleep. He remained a policeman for three more years. He was not charged, nor were any charges laid. And the door he did not guard? Behind it, Abraham Lincoln lay dying. Which, in a roundabout way, explains how writers differ from columnists and newsmen. unemployment, we conceivably could have more people out of work. If you think that's ridiculous reasoning, you haven't encountered the most recent proposition from ogranized labor. More and more unions have studied the employment problem and reached the same conclusion: they will fight the shortage of jobs by reducing the work week for those individuals fortunate enough to be holding down jobs. So far, so good. In fact, the willingness of workers to spread the discomfort equally over their ranks would appear to conform to the highest principles of unionism. But all is not as it appears. To wit: the union proposal is not exactly to spread out the available work over more workers. Rather, the union sees every worker, putting in fewer hours for the same gross pay! Or, to put it another way. the employer is expected to pay a whole lot more for workers. That isn't the best way to cure unemployment. The thinkers who dreamed up this scheme apparently overlooked the one fundamental rule of economics: when the price of something goes up, the demand for that thing goes down. In other words, if employers are expected to pay their workers higher hourly wages, they will employ even fewer workers. Putting it all together, then, the union proposal would lead to more unemployment rather than helping out the unfortunate who are still looking for jobs. But, then again, organized labor has shown a spectacular lack of understanding of existing economic conditions. All across Canada at this very instant, for I.

Previously, he was introduced by Bob McClelland, minister of health and Langley MLA, who urged all members to hear the well-known Christian counsellor. His schedule included a visit with house speaker Harvey Schrocder and a conference with TIDY CAR Mobile Operator Simonizing & the guaranteed Preserve-A-Shine nlerior cleaning-vinyl roofs evenings 856*7210 w% Bill VanderZalm, minister of human resources. Following these meetings, he inspected the office of the B.C. Council of the Family and had a discussion with co-ordinator Constance Hawley. The family council works with the ministry of human resources to facilitate community based projects designed to support and strengthen families; and to help develop programs designed to enrich family living. After he was escorted by sergcant-ut-Arms A.M. Hutchinson lo a scat next to provincial, secretary Grace McCarthy and Tom Walcrland, Mun Hope expressed appreciation for "our most gracious Sovereign Lady. Queen Elizabeth, and all the Royal family." He continued by quoting from two scripture passages: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever bclieveth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." "Verily, verily, 1 say unto you, He that Heareth My Word, and belicveth on him that scut Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death untolifc." (John3:16; John 5:24). "Divine peace and happiness, truth and justice may be realized in our midst by a personal, experiential knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord." he concluded. Premier Bill Bennett and McCarthy extended their personal invitation for a return visit by Hope to the legislature.

By ERNEST CLUETT ALDERGROVE — The monthly meeting of the membership of branch 71 O.A.P. organization brought out a large number of members. Approximately' 90 braved the heat to attend. Several searching questions were put from the floor and answered to the best of the ability of the executive. We still daily await the okay for the grant from the office of the Facilities Assistance Program and Mrs. E. Lcduc, to commence work on the hall. The tremendous and generous support given by the municipality, the Royal Canadian Legion, the Aldergrove Thrift Shop and the members themselves and all the detailed work of Mr. Kovacs. the contractor, together with all the paper work has been processed by Darch Obornc of the municipal hall and after making sure everything was in order, was forwarded together with a recommendation for speedy processing on May 17. So far no answer! It is interesting to note that without any enlargement of the roof area the hall will be doubled in size when alterations are completed. After the meeting an interesting film was shown by Weldon Geldart on endangered species. This was followed by refreshments. Due to the length of the meeting and following program it has been decided to hold the motion pictures on an afternoon showing by themselves. The Saturday dance attendance was slightly down on a very warm night, but four large fans kept the air circulating and the energetic music of the Aldergrove Rangers kept the dancers circulating. Guests of honor at the dance were the newly weds, Mr. and Mrs. D. Ellingson of Surrey. After the refreshments they led the dancers in a waltz. The lucky couple will spend two weeks in Hawaii. Congratulations and good wishes to them from all of us. Dick Lockhart won the door prize and Lcs Zabel and Mrs. O. Thomas Ihe spot dance. The hand crochet doilies were won'by H. Muralt. E. Elmore and W. China men. A dance has been arranged for June 17. If the hall has lobe shut down a notice will be placed in the Aldergrove Star. A bus trip will leave the hall for Harrison Hot Springs on July 4 at 10 a.m. Fare is $3.00. Phone 856-8101 for scats. The need today is for humility BOSTON, Mass. — Christian Scientists were told here at their 83rd annual meeting June 5 to put aside "busywork, organizational mechanics, and zeal for media exposure." "The need today," said the Christian Science board of directors, in its message to the denomination's global membership, "is for more healing, more spirituality, meekness, humility." In a strongly-worded statement, the directors warned against "powerful mental cross-currents at work against religion and against the moral code inculcated by Christianity." "It's obvious that the present period is marked by a conspicuous lack of stability — in our homes, schools, and institutions, our commercial and public life as well as in individual experience," said the directors' statement. The directors are principal officers of The First Church of Christ. Scientist here, of which Christian Science congregations around the world are branches. The board statement was read by chairman DcWitt John. He reminded the several thousand gathered for the meeting that in 1894 Mary Baker Eddy, the denomination's founder, counseled: "The church, more than any other institution, at present is the cement of society, and it should be the bulark of civil and religious liberty." The chairman called on twentieth century Christian Scientists to "go forward in the spiritual work which is the essence of the church — loving one another, restoring the lost clement of Christian healing, overcoming sin, and living the life of a Christian." In their yearly review of denominational activities, other church officers noted: • a continuation of the gradual decline in membership, but also, an increase in the number of new branch churches formed during the past year (37 as compared with 22 in'1976). • an increase in individual contributions to the church (double the level of five years ago). • "significant stirrings of interest," among other Christian churches, in Christian healing, long a central aspect of Christian Science.

FREE EVALUATION WITHOUT OBLIGATION Aldergrove Realty Ltd. 856 4106 27233 Fraser Highway 530 2717 \) ill The Aldergrove Star WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1978 1B t s II 11 if M TO IHE HI i * Hats off to Dairymen! They work hard, to supply us with all the wholesome dairy products we love! Value of corn higher for dry cows Dry cows utilize corn more efficiently than lactating dairy cows, says Dr. Paul Moc. an animal scientist with USDA's Agricultural Research Service in Belts- ville. Md. ^ In experiments where two types of cracked corn (soft and flinty endosperm) were fed to lactating and nonlactating dairy cows, the cows in production ate about three times as much feed as the dry cows. Metabolize energy value of the corn was only about 68 percent that for nonlactating dairy cows. Moc theorizes that the larger intake of lactating cows exceeds their ability to make the most efficient use of corn even though their energy needs arc much greater. Nine Holstein cows in mid- lactation and six dry cows were each fed three diets: • A basal diet of 40 percent long alfalfa hay and 60 percent concentrate. • The basal diet plus 5.5 pounds of soft endosperm corn. • The basal diet plus 5.5 pounds of flinty endosperm corn. Although the energy value of both types of corn was the same, the higher intake of the lactating cows had a negative effect on the digestible and metabalizable e- nergies of the corn. Energy value of the corn was 1.05 mcgacalorics (Meal) of metabolizable energy per pound of dry matter for lactating cows and 1.53 Meal for nonlactating cows. Total digestible nutrients figured out to be 56 percent for lactating and 84 percent for nonlactating cows. Results of this research also point out that feed energy values calculated for dry cows may not necessarily be applicable to lactating cows when figuring rations. —Hoard's Dairyman Dairying—The old way and the new Friesens blazing trails for future dairy farmers Vakamu A familiar sight Is seen as the herd heads In 'at milking time at Joamy Farms Aldergrove. —Rick Mcllwaln Photo You have to be good to be traditional They say farming has changed. They say it has turned from a simple life of living off the land to a big business. They say the family farm is in trouble. John Chard and sons prove them wrong on at least one count. The Chords operate Joamy Farm at 25361 Fraser Highway, a 45-acre traditional style dairy farm. The Joamy Farm is still a full fledged family farm and it is surviving quite nicely, thank you. It all started as a 4-H club project. John's children became interested in keeping animals so he bought them some registered Jerseys and joined them into the 4-H club. At that time John Chard was working for wages on various farms in the local area. A resident of Aldergrove for 30 years, Chard did not actually enter full time farming on his property until 1965. His children proved very successful at producing top quality milking cows, and it simply became more inviting to turn their 4-H project into a working farm than it was to go on working for wages. "No regrets," Chsrd affirms, explaining that running a family farm is a very demanding undertaking, but it does offer a sense of freedom not found in hourly wage jobs. "If you don't like farming, don't go farming," he warns. Chard relates that his farm operation had to start from scratch.. When he bought the land it was virgin timber and bushland and it all had to be cleared before it could be farmed at all. He feels this situation still hasn't changed in the slightest. The only way to get started in farming today is still either to have the money to buy a working operation, or start from scratch on uncleared land. Joamy Farm runs about 100 head of registered Jersey stock and milks anywhere from 45 to 55 To pass Pete Friesen on the street there is very little to identify him as one of B.C.'s most noted dairy farmers. As a matter of fact, if it weren't for his western belt and his natural farmer's manners, you might not even recognize him as a farmer of any kind. Nevertheless, Pete Friesen is known in dairy circles not only as one of the province's most successful dairymen, but also as a pioneer in new production and marketing methods. Alder-Vista Farms Ltd., on Huntingdon Road in Aldergrove was probably the first dry lot dairy farm in B.C., and today under the management of Pete and his son Walter it remains a showcase of futuristic milk production routines. Farms like Alder-Vista have been operating in the U.S.A. for a good many years now. In fact there are regions of the United depending on the season. In an age of mechanization and specialization the Chards adhere quite strictly to traditional dairy farming methods. The stock grazes on regular pasture mix supplemented with whatever bought feeds arc necessary. Although John admits volume production is the farming of the future, he also claims that traditional methods have done well by him and he sees no reason to change his farm to feed lot operation. "It could cost you more in equipment to be green feeding," he offers, adding that he considers it debatable that dry lot operation pays as much as it costs. Chard claims that his pasture provides good conditions for his cattle and yields anywhere from 200 to 1,000 bales of hay a year. He admits that feed costs are high but insists that they are not too high to make traditional operation Con't. on page 2 States where the face of dairy farming has entirely changed. According to the farmers, the same kind of changes are going to take place in Canada. When the Friesens went over to dry lot operation four years ago they were the only such farm in the area, now there are about twelve dry lot farms in B.C., ond Pete Friesen feels the number will grow steadily from here on. The basic difference between dry lot and traditional dairy methods is that dry lot cattle do not graze on the land. The feed is grown, harvested and brought to the cattle in their manger. To the untrained eye, therefore, a dry lot dairy farm does not look like a dairy farm at all because there isn't a. cow in sight. At Alder-Vista you can drive the entire circumference of the farm without seeing any stock grazing, except near the house where the Friesens keeo vouno stock and cows waiting to freshen. The rest of the farm looks more like a prairie grain operation. All the milking stock is kept in a building at the opposite end of the property to the nouses. In this manger the Friesens are milking about 157 cows. These arc split into two groups: the low group and the high group. About 65 cows occupy the low end of the manger while the remaining 92 arc in Ihe high. Splitting the stock up this way enables Alder-Vista to get maximum efficiency out of their feed store. In the morning the low side of the manger is fed a little bit less grain than the high side. The theory is that these cattle are not producing as much milk and. thus, do not require as much reed. In Ihe evenings both sides are fed Ihe same ration. Almost all of the feed is raised right on Ihe farm. Only grains and Tam'* nn naae 1 ■ There's Aery a cow to be seen In the Friesen field - the pasture is cut and brought to hay in the truck in the photo the cows. Farm hands gather above, Rick Mcllwaln, photo You hoped it would work out this way. The family farm just added another family. But, now it'll have to support two families. Maybe you can expand outward. But how easy is it going to be to buy or rent more land? And then farm it? Or, you can expand up. With a Harvestore* system, you expand by feeding more of what you grow. You fill at the top and feed from the bottom. There are no abrupt ration changes or unfermentea feed. You harvest and store forage crops one right on top of the other. With a Harvestore grain structure, you can expand up by harvesting earlier for reduced field losses. You go directly from the field to storage and avoid the high cost of drying, shrink and extra handling. Read now other farm families are expanding up with the Harvestore system.

Like all dairy operations, Joamy Farm's stock is tested monthly for milk yield and butterfat content. On a national scale Chard's methods have proven effective. "This herd has been in the top 20 continually for the last five or six years," says John with pride. His healthy milk yield record has made il possible for him to supplement his milk production income with regular sales of top quality breeding stock. Although the Chard's have no regrets about entering the dairy farming business, John docs concede that conditions could be better. "The thing you sell hasn't gone up by the same price as what you have to buy," he explains, pointing at a medium size farm tractor which has soared in value since the end of World War II. "Milk should be about $2,00 a quart right now if it kept up." ' The $2.00 figure seems like an overstatement at first, but one must examine the reasons for the present price of milk to understand why his estimate is probably quite accurate. Milk is considered a life supporting nccccssity, and therefore, people demand its price be kept reasonably low. This means subsidizing the dairy producer and regulating supply and demand through quota limits. "We figure the marketing board is necessary...1 have a lot of argument with the quota system but you've got to have some kind of system," John Chard states. In addition to keeping the consumer milk price at a reasonable level, Chard feels the controls also help the farmer to keep the traditions of farming alive. "You put a lot of effort into your place and you like to have the satisfaction of seeing your effort show," he states. John figures the present situation in milk production and prices proves that living off the land is still one of the safest economic propositions a family can enter into. "All kidding aside, if they don't do something with this inflation pretty soon the Dirty 30's are going to look pretty good," he remarks. John explains that the farmer is in an excellent position to weather hard times if they should come about, because the farmer can live off of his base product and trade his surplus for other things. He presents the possibility of continued inflation as one more argument for traditional food production methods. "You can't take theory out of a book and put it on your farm without adapting," he says, "1 pay for all my experiments." At the same time, however, John Chard concedes that today's farms do experience some difficulty in getting qualified help. "There is a crying need on farms for skilled labor," he reveals, explaining that increased education has led to a large number of farm oriented workers gaining degrees in agriculture.

John explains that it is still possible to join the farm work force inspitc of mechanization and specialized training methods. The Farm Labor Pool is still looking for young people who are committed to farming, and quota buildilng programs are helping young families to start new dairy operations. John reveals the real difficulty in entering farming is net in in entering farming is not in finding a need or a market for one's services, but in rinding the money to start new operations or expand old ones. He figures a standard SO cow operation would cost about $200,000 in land, equipment and buildings at present market prices, and it is this factor which puts farming out of reach for the majority of people. "This is what's up against young people," he declares. Where his own family is concerned, John feels the farm life was an instrumental factor in raising his children in an upright fashion. He describes the farm upbringing simply as "necessary". "My kids have chores to do... they have home responsibilities," he explains, adding that this does place certain restrictions on the freedom of the young farmer, but in the long run it helps to make them understand their station in life and their value as human beings. So John and Amy Chard of Joamy Farms are not about to change their 100 cow, traditional, graze on the pasture, milk in the barn and live off the land style dairy farm into anything other than what it is. They intend to keep the farm going just the way it is for as long as possible. John does admit that dry lot dairy farming is the dairy farming of the future, but he simply feels that the change will not come about overnight, and where a 45 acre, 100 cow operation like Joamy Farm is concerned, it might not come about for a good many years. "You close your eyes and hope for better times," he says with a thoughtful gaze at his modest but serviceable old tractor, "this is the kind of doldrums we're in right now. It's all volume work now." "bit a boy or do I continue to handle all the chorea around here?" Con't. from front feed supplements are purchased from feed stores. In fact, with the dry lot operation Alder-Vista is able to produce more than enough pasture feed to meet its own needs. The Friesens are able to keep more than enough feed on hand in the silage sheds, and also pick up some side money selling excess bales to other local farmers. "Ever since that first year we've had a carry over. Only the first year we didn't." Pete explained. He said that during the first year when the pasture crop was not sufficient to meet their needs, they supplemented their silage with cube mixture. "Cubes mixed in silage makes excellent silage. If I needed it I'd do it," he stated. At present, however, the Friesens do not require any extra hay or alfalfa. They are receiving three good cuts a year from their land and supporting more stock than they did under the old grazing system. Pete said the dry lot operation is new to B.C. but is not new to North America. "Basically it's an American concept, but the only difference is that here we have to put a roof on il." In the southern states, these modern dairy farms operate in open areas rather like a Canadian feed lot operation, but Canadian weather patterns dictate indoor operation. Supprisingly enough, Pete said this new and more efficient method of farming docs not really increase the output of individual cows. "The income per cow has dropped, but we are milking more cows," he stated. He has no regrets about moving onto the dry lot system, although he admits it was largely circumstance that brought the change about. The farm had become a little dated. A lot of the equipment needed replacing, and some of the outbuildings needed renovations or enlarging. When the Friesens sat down to figure out what to do about it. the answer stared them straight in the face. Friesen's dry lot doesn't increase cow output They decided to modernize the entire operation. "Even if I had started with only 40 cows, I would have had to replace everything entirely," he said. So the move was made to dry lot operation, and Alder-Vista hasn't looked back since; quite the opposite in fact. Throughout the summer, busloads of dairy farmers, many from overseas, come to the form to view a modern North American dairy operation. They take away with them, a new conception of dairy farming. In this sense, the Friesens are pioneering new fields in dairy operation, not just for Canada, but the entire world. "I've always looked upon it as a business," remarked Pete, adding that the farm doesn't really change that much, except to the person driving by and looking on from a car window. For other dairy farmers who are interested in moving into dry lot operation, Pete Friesen has one piece of advice. He suggests that farmers talk the expansion over with Peter Ewert of the B.C. department of agriculture. "If a man's going to be expanding he should call him (Ewert) in and put his whole year's books on the table. Then sit at the kitchen table and talk to him," said Friesen, adding that he did just that before expanding his own operation, and found Ewerts advice very valuable and encouraging. Pete warns that dry lot operation is still not viable for every farmer. To begin with it takes more land, so a small landowner might find his production a lot better on the old system. "If he is careful he can do better per cow...he doesn't need all that heavy equipment," Pete explained. As far as costs goes, the change over to dry lot operation is enough to make anyone think twice. Most old style dairy farms will not remodel into dry lot systems, so, everything has to be built and outfitted from scratch. "You have to look at $2,000 per cow...that's from scratch," said Pete. And don't forget that under dry lot operation you will also be increasing the size of your herd considerably. So dry lot operation may be the farming of the future, but it is going to be a few more years before we see it on every dairy farm in the country. Finance and common sense demand that the change over not go too rapidly. In the meantime, many people continue to view the new oper ations with some confusion. It is hard lo see them as family farms, because they have "Ltd." at the end of their names, and they arc so large and sophisticated. Alder-Vista, however, stands as testimony to the fact that progress docs not spell the end of the family farm. Although the farm is ultramodern in its methods, it still requires the skills of experienced dairymen to keep it operative. From the road nearby, Alder- Vista docs not look entirely like a dairy operation, but when you get out of the car and look around you start to pick up familiar sights. Walter Friesen is on the tractor hauling feed to the animals, and a few hands arc busy dumping hay into the silage sheds. In short this is still a family farm, and it will remain so. Pcle feels that the secret to keeping the family farm alive is to curb greed. He stated that when turning over a farm operation to the next generation, a farmer must be careful not to take out too much money. Enough must be left to give the new operator a change (o gain his feet. This goes for traditional operations and dry lot farms. "The family farm will survive if he's prepared to leave something in there," stated Pete Friesen.

Upright hay storage yields better results By SIDNEY E. BARNARD 1 know of no beverage which provides the nutrition of a glass of milk. Some of us drink the minimum amount we need each day, which is at least two eight- ounce glasses, regardless of age. However, some members of farm and urban families seldom drink milk. Frequently, when you eat at dairy meetings, restaurants or fast food outlets, you order coffee, a carbonated beverage or a fruit-flavored drink. Why not promote milk and set an example for the product which you produce? In my family, milk is the basic beverage. We drink it like some families drink water or other beverages. Six of us, including four teen-agers, drink at least a gallon of milk a day. On cold mornings, though, sometimes it is replaced with hot chocolate. But even that is made with skim milk powder. Only one person in the family ever drinks coffee. One reason is that we prefer the taste of good milk. Yes. my teen-agers occasionally drink other beverages. But it is not one and two bottles or cans per person each day. They realize they need milk...and they like it. The dairy industry faces the challenge of peer pressure. Advertising has convinced our friends that a hamburger and another beverage are the "in thing". Unfortunately, you, as dairy farmers, are not doing enough about the situation. You cannot expect processors to promote your product. Their margin on fruit drinks is many times greater than on milk. Some advantages... Other beverages have some advantages over milk. First, the name brand products always taste the same no matter where or when you buy them. We could do the same with milk, but it means some farmers would have to change' feeding practices and others not milk their cows longer than 10 months. In my opinion, dairymen would gain much at almost no cost. Beverages other than milk have a large margin between ingredient cost and retail price. For some, it is less than 10 cents per quart when customers pay 40 cents to 60 cents per quart. For Class I milk, you receive as much as 25 cents per quart for which the consumer pays 40 cents to ,45 cents per quart. Processing and delivery costs are higher for milk as sanitation requirements are strict for handling a perishable product. Yet, the margin is much less. Spoilage is not a problem for other beverages. Families and eating places can buy unlimited quantities and use them when they need to. After you remove milk from your cows, it will keep about 14 days; that is, if you, processors, distributors and consumers handle it properly. Strict sanitation and adequate refrigeration are absolutely necessary. Neither of these is needed for most other beverages. Yes, milk has some advantages. It provides more for your money than just a thirst quencher. Milk gives you protein, vitamins and minerals. Many other popular beverages merely give you sugar, water and flavor, which do not translate into good nutrition. Some carbonated and fruit- flavored drinks provide as many, or more, calorics as a glass of milk. Most are between 100 and 170 calories per glass, unless they contain artificial sweeteners. Skim milk and low fat milk provide fewer calories than many of the other beverages. Most of us do not need more carbohydrates in the form of sugar. But we do need nutritious foods and beverages which give us protein, vitamins and minerals ...and that is just what milk and dairy products provide. Milk contains no additives to provide flavor, preserve it, or make it thicker. Yes, most milk is fortified with Vitamin D. There is little disagreement, however, that most of us need this vitamin, especially in winter. Check the labels on containers of other beverages. Most contain artificial flavors and colors, and some even contain preservatives. Milk is neither a high fat (less than 3.5 percent) beverage; nor does it contain much cholestrol. Yet, you permit some people to condemn your product because of false assumptions. Know the nutritional value of milk and tell the facts. Two glasses of milk each day provide 50 percent of the riboflavin which the average person needs each day. You could get this from eating enough meat, but the big plus for milk is calcium. About 60 percent of our daily calcium needs are provided by two glasses of milk. Many people do not receive enough calcium. If you do not drink milk, it is nearly impossible to get enough unless you take calcium pills. Two glasses of milk give you about 40 percent of your protein and 40 percent of your phosphorus needs for the day. Protein in milk is balanced because it provides the essential amino acids. This is not the case with vegetable solid substitutes for milk. No, milk is not a good source of iron or vitamin C; however, both could be added to milk to fortify it. For most of us, it is easier to eat other foods that provide iron and vitamin C. I am not suggesting you make milk your only beverage. We "Bonnie doesn't need a milker that removes it- self.

Harvestore system haylage is being touted by many farmers today as a major contributing factor to increases in their herd's production and general better management of the farms. One of the best success stories reported with Harvestore upright equipment was that of Bill and Auguste Brown and Auguste Pcrrault. Like most Fraser Valley dairy farmers the trio felt the crunch coming in 1975. Snaring land values and heavy rainfall made it necessary for the farm to shrink its grazing herds and expand into more efficient methods of forage handling to keep their stock fed. At the same lime they had to find a system which would allow the quality of the feed lo remain high, thus preventing a crippling less in milk production. Upright storage seemed like the right way to go. and there were two choices, either an upright concrete silo or a Harvestore system. In July of 1975 the Browns put up (heir Harvestore 2579 unit and began feeding stock from it the following winter. Today they report that the system has helped to pull the farm inlo a more productive and economical state. They feel seasonal diets of green chop to dry hay and back again produced poorer results in the milk yield than docs the consistent ration of haylage. inti LUMBER LTD. 3183 Mt. Lehman Road, Comer Mt.

Bruce Pickering photo Giocomozzi stands time test There is still only one way to start a dairy farm or any other kind of farm economically, and that is to buy some virgin land, and clear it. The eventual pay off in this type of farm establishment is in the growth of the virgin land into valuable and productive farmland. Prinui Giacomazzi started just such a farm some years ago in Aldergrove. and today his operation is a fine example of where keeping one's nose to the grindstone will lead you. Prlmo came to Canada from Italy in ll)27 and went directly to work in an Albcrtan mine. He remained in that mine for II long years before saving enough money to buy a dairy farm in Aldergrove. The property he bought was 75 percent busliland and had to be cleared before it could produce pasture crops. With his brother Louis. Primo formed a farming partnership which remained in operation until W) when the two bought out the Harry Lake Farm giving them another 140 acres, which today is farmed by a new generation of Giacomazzi's under the leadership of Bruno Giacomazzi. In 195.1 Louis died and Bruno became a full partner with his father Primo. In I959 Bruno married Shirley Savage, the daughter of W. H. Savage, a well known agriculturalist and shoe salesman. Bruno took total responsibility for the farm in 1966 when Primo retired. Over the years Bruno has managed to build up a fine herd of purebred Holstcin cattle,, winning many production and breeding awards in Canada and the U.S. of A. From this herd of fine pure- breds, the Giacomazzi's have sold breeding stock to other farms as far away as the U.S. of A., Japan, South Korea, Cuba, Russia and Italy. Production records have also remained very high on the farm. Mt. Baker View Gilmore Bluebell, a milking cow which died in ils 16 years, still holds the production record for B.C. In twelve years the cow produced 272.572 pounds of raw milk. Inspite of the many long hours spent building the farm and the stock into one of the finest dairy operations in Canada. Bruno has always found time to get involved in the community. He served as president of the B.C. Holstcin - Friesian Association in 1968-69 and today is assistant president of the Otter Holstcin 4-H Club. It all proves that the correct way to build a farm from scratch is still to start from scratch, not to buy out an existing farm. The long history of success at the Giacomazzi farm is due only to the total commitment to farming, that Primo made for himself many years ago. Can you get service?

That's a term used In the construction business to describe machine-roughened surfaces. The technique can also be put to good use in dairy barns. By DAVE BATES Are concrete floors in your dairy operation so slippery cows need ice skates to reach firm ground? B.C. dairymen have found a solution to that problem. They're using a machine called the "scabbier" to roughen worn- smooth concrete. The scabbier is a construction trades tool — bridge builders, for example, use it to roughen bridge decks to provide better tire traction under slippery conditions. The wheel-mounted, compressor-driven scabbier, resembles any number of small garden tools (lawn mowers, rototillers, etc.). the main difference being the scabbler's working end. It consists of either 5 or 7 (depending on the model) piston-like hammers which pound into concrete, leaving behind a rough, grooved surface. B.C. dairymen who've used a scabbier (at last count, at least 30 and possibly more) report spectacular results — cows slipping and sliding one day, as surefooted as mountain sheep the next. Fraser Valley dairymen Ben Westencnk, Chilliwack, and Bobby Logan, Fort Langley, were two of the first to try the idea. Over the years, Westencnk has had to cull S cows as a result of leg and hip injuries suffered when they slipped and fell in his 12-year-oid free stall barn. Logan, more recently, lost 2 promising heifers when they injured themselves on a freshly puurcd concrete exercise pad. "When the first one went down, I thought it was just an accident." Logan recalls. "But when the second heifer hurt herself. I knew I had a problem. Having lost 5 cows and having tried previously on 2 occasions to restore his barn floor— once with acid (not very effective) and once with a jackhammer (it made the floor too rough), Westencnk was about to rip up the old floor and pour a new one. "But I think I've got the problem licked now," he says. "I haven't seen a cow slip or fall since I scabbled the floors." Logan similarly reports an end to his slippery tloor problems. Equipment Rented Westencnk and Logan leased scabblers from local "rent-all" businesses specializing in construction equipment. Cost was about S150 for 8 hours. "For that kind of money, you can afford to do the floor every 2 years," Westencnk observes, adding that a new floor would have cost about $5,000. Bob Berry, the Chilliwack district agriculturist who introduced dairymen in his area to the concept, offers the following tips to anyone planning to use a scabbier: • "Scabblc" in the same direction as you scrape manure — that will help minimize wear and tear on the scraper blade. • The more you scabblc a floor, the rougher it becomes — one to three passes should roughen most floors sufficiently to eliminate slipping. * It takes about a day to scabblc the concrete floor area in an "average-sized" dairy barn. • If you and your neighbors all want to try the scabbling idea, demand for available equipment could get pretty keen. It usually pays to phone ahead and reserve a machine for those days and you'll have time to use it. —Country Guide A lot of lettuce or less WHITE ROCK — Over 200.000 acres of rural land was urbanized between 1966-1977 as Canadian towns and cities continue to expand, according to a report released by the federal environ- ment department. 63 percent of this was some of Canada's most productive agricultural land.

(Automatic Removal Mechanism) ADVANCED DESIGN THAT IS SIMPLE, COMPACT AND RELIABLE The De Laval A.R.M. allows more cows to be milked without adding stress lo either the cows or the operators. Herd health can also improve In a carefully managed dairy operation because there is less chance of teat damage from over-milking. When the cow finishes milking, the unit is gently removed automatically. The operator does not have to be available to take off the unit. When De Laval engineers developed the A.R.M., they remembered that, while the main operating function was gentle and efficient removal of the milking claw, the unit is part of the milking machine and therefore must be compatible with all phases of the milking operation. Floating parallel linkage, a very positive feature of the De Laval A.R.M., ensures that the unit is a true flotation removal mechanism with excellent maneuvrability. If a cow moves during milking, Ihe unit will move with her freely. This mobility allows the De Laval A.R.M. to attach easily to both high and low uddered cows and adapt to usually troublesome high curbs. Designed in Europe, the sensing device which monitors milk flow has proven reliable and accurate after years of operation in actual milking conditions. The dependable De Laval sensing chamber is extremely simple in design, and of course it cleans in place with the milker unit. The stainless steel control box. is very compact and attractive. A flick of a switch sets the panel for either automatic or manual operation and signal lights provide the operator with continual visual Identification of mode and stage of milking. Solid state circuitry results In an jj-.'-.^uncluttered interior for easy servicing. To truly appreciate the advanced features of the De Laval A.R.M., get all the fads from your De Laval Dealer.

Farm cash receipts for 1977 totalled SKI-billion while farm operators' total net income was slightly more than S4-billion. Agricultural exports equalled S4.4-blllion — about 10 percent of Canada's export trade. Grains and grain products made up 62 percent of agricultural exports over the first half of the 1970's. Most of these grains came from the prairies. Overall agricultural exports accounted for about 10 percent of Canadian export. At the federal government level, Agriculture Canada reflects the complexities of this important Canadian basic industry. The department administers 38 acts of parliament and literally looks after everything from soup to nuts. What is agriculture? Agriculture is first and foremost food, but it is also part of the Canadian heritage and an important part of the Canadian economy and lifestyle. Dirty mangers discourage cows Winter feeding programs must include a plan for removing uneaten feed, as well as making sure cows are being full-fed. Uneaten feed that is allowed to accumulate in the bottom of the manger or feed bunk encourages greater waste of hay and grain, says Don Ace, extension dairyman at Pennsylvania State University. Most dairymen plan on feeding more forage than cows will eat. Just to be sure cows are eating to the limit of their appetite, they want some left in the manger at the end of the day. The problem comes from not cleaning the left-over hay and silage from the manger or feed bunk on a daily basis. Coarse hay stems and larger pieces of corn silage are not eaten unless the cow is very hungry. Some nutritious hay leaves shatter, sift down through the feed and settle on the bottom. Grain fed on top of forages also mixes with the uneaten coarse portion of the forage. If these leftovers are not cleaned out each day, the problem increases. Saliva and slobber from the cow as she chews her cud made the feed in the bottom of the manger or bunk wet. Drinking fountains that leak or spill over also wet the feed. Moisture mixed with the accumulation of hay leaves and stems, silage and grain soon produces a rotting, molding mess. Not only does it pose a health hazard, but discourages cows from cleaning up the next feeding. For improved feed intake and less waste, try cleaning out all leftover feed daily. Feed leftovers to older heifers. But feed milking cows all they can eat of the best available feed.

ABBOTSFORD 859-5221 9467651 574-4112 526-2611 Improve pastures and hayfields by overseeding One of the least expensive, yet effective and simple ways to improve yield and quality of pastures and hayftelds is to overseed them with clover. Research and test demonstration data have shown that grass hayfields overseeded with clover yield as much as those fertilized with ISO pounds of nitrogen per acre, applied in two applications. In pastures, clover plants improve quality while providing nitrogen to the grasses throughout the growing season. To successfully establish clover in these grass stands depends on adequate fertility to support clover, proper time of seeding, reduction of competition from the existing grass sod until seedlings arc established, use of high- quality seed and use of an appropriate seeding method. Before overseeding, check the soil pH and fertility levels by taking soil samples which accurately represent the field. Soil pH should be 6.2 to 6.5 Phosphate and potash levels should be high if the clover seedlings are to become established and be productive. The best single time to over- seed is in late winter, when soil is freezing and thawing. This is very important because, during that period, the existing sod is dormant and will not compete with the new clover seedlings. Delayed overseeding makes the seedling compete, usually unsuccessfully, with established plants and also increases the chances for dry conditions to reduce seedling growth. Tall growth of existing plants in the field must be removed if the clover seedlings are to have any chance of surviving. Pastures should be grazed so shot} that you can see the soles of your shoes when standing on the sod. Hayftelds should be mowed as short as possible or grazed. After the clover seedlings begin to grow, it is important to watch closely to see that old grass plants do not crowd out the young seedlings. If this begins to occur, grase it off quickly or clip the plants. It hurts to clip plants off and waste that growth, but it often makes the difference between establishing clover and losing it. Use high-quality seed which is free of weeds, has a high germination percentage, and is an adapted variety. For hayfields that will not be grazed, use 4 to 6 pounds per acre of red clover. Kenstar is an outstanding variety which often lasts for three years. Kenland, Redland and Redman also are productive. If the hayfield is to be grazed, or if overseeding pasture, use 2 to 3 pounds of red clover and 1 to 2 pounds of ladino clover seed per acre. Tillman is the recommended variety of ladino clover. Alfalfa also can be established by overseeding, but it is more difficult and less dependable than the clovers. The traditional seedbed is a better bet for its establishment. There are a number of methods which can be used successfully for overseeding. The cheapest and quickest way is to simply broadcast seed on the surface. If the management factors discussed so far are taken care of properly, this can be a very successful and practical way.to seed. Using a chain drag, spike-tooth harrow, or similar implement to scratch the surface and help to cover the seed also will help. A great deal of acreage can be covered over variable terrain in a short time while conditions are favorable and at relatively little cost in time and equipment. A grain drill can be very effective in placing the seed in the ground; this method of seeding will give each seed a greater opportunity to germinate and become established than if it simply is thrown on the surface. In some cases, such as where existing sod is poor or where a very tight sod exists, a light disking followed by broadcasting or drilling is effective. Usually, the disked area should be culti- packed or dragged after seeding. —Hoard's Dairyman Dairy year to continue to July 1979 It now seems certain that the dairy year which began April 1, 1978, will cover a 16-month period to July 31, 1979. Thereafter, the dairy year (the period on which industrial milk and cream policies are based under the national marketing plan) will run from August 1 to July 31. Purpose of the change is to encourage more milk production in the winter months and less in summer — in short, to even out the flow to processing plants. Watch for, and make sure you understand, announcements from your provincial board tegarding MSQ availability during the 16-month changeover period.

' THE ALDERGROVE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1978 7B By C.L.DAVIS Lately, there has been a lot of interest in feeding buffers (sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium oxide, and so forth) to milking cows. Many dairymen wonder whether these compounds have a place in their rations. There have been two major changes in feeding during the past 20 years that have opened the door for buffers. These are much higher levels of grain feeding and feeding of greater amounts of chopped forages (silages and haylage) and less long forage (baled or long hay). Further, silage is being chopped more finely due to greater use of high speed choppers and convenience which the finer materials provide in storing and removal from the silo. Both feeding high levels of grain and feeding greater a- mounts of finely chopped forages reduces the saliva the cow secretes during eating and rumination (chewing the cud). Since saliva's main function is to provide buffers (sodium and potassium bicarbonatcs) to neutralize the volatile acids produced during fermentation in the rumen, any drop in saliva output by the cow will be reflected in a more acid rumen. The ideal rumen pH (a measure of acidity) for maintenance of a "normal" population of microorganisms is within the range of 6.2 to 6.8. Keep in mind that as the pH value gets smaller, acidity is greater. Thus at pH's of 5.0 to 5.5, which can occur on certain rations (high grain, low fiber), the types of microorganisms are different than those which exist at a rumen pH of 6.2 to 6.8. Likewise, fermentation products will be vastly different. What does this have to do with performance of the animal? How do buffers fit into the picture? It has been known for years that high-grain, low-roughage rations as well as those containing liberal amounts of roughage but in a chopped, pelleted or ground form will cause lower fat tests. Although we do not know precisely the cause for this, it is clear that acid conditions in the rumen caused by these feeding programs are linked closely to the problem. Can help test... fBack in 1963-64, wc showed that milk fat depression, caused by high-grain rations, could be prevented by feeding a pound of buffers :'/; pound sodium bicarbonate plus Vi pound potassium bicarbonate) per cow per day. Further, if the cow was already depressed in fat test, we could correct it by feeding the amount of buffer. It appears clear from these and ' other studies, that an acid rumen results in changes in the fermen* tation of feedstuffs which arc in some manner linked to tower fat tests. Correcting acid conditions in the rumen by adding buffers prevented or corrected the low fat tests. There are some problems associated with use of buffers in dairy rations, especially at the level wc used (1 pound per cow per day). The main one is that cows differ greatly in how well they eat grain mixtures containing buffers, some simply refuse to eat their grain if it is spiked with 'A to 1 pound of buffer while others seem to relish the supplemented grain. For this reason and because buffers generally used (sodium and potassium bicarbonatcs) have no significant nutritive value, some nutritionists have been hesitant to recommend widespread use of buffers in dairy rations. The contention has been that low fat tests caused by heavy grain feeding or use of finely . chopped forages could best be corrected by feeding some long hay. This stimulates the cow to secrete more saliva which keeps rumen acidity in line. It takes about 1 pound of long hay per 100 pounds body weight per day. •Unfortunately, a lot of dairymen don't have this much hay or are not set up to do this conveniently. It is under these conditions that buffers could be added to good advantage. Where they dairyman is feeding his milking cows liberal amounts of grain (1 pound per 2.5 pounds milk) along with a roughage source which has been chopped reasonably fine (corn silage or haylage), then adding 0.1 to 0.3 pounds of buffer daily (cither sodium bicarbonate or magnesium oxide — or a combination of these) might be helpful. The benefits would center around maintaining a more stable rumen fermentation, possibly a greater rate of digestion in the rumen and improved feed intake. That cows might cat more would be a big benefit since most cows producing over 70 pounds per day are not able to consume enough feed to meet their needs. What about cost? Adding buffers at the levels recommended above would cost beween 1 and 3 cents per cow per day. It is not expensive and offers no health risk to the animal. In addition to the buffers mentioned (sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate and magnesium oxide), there are at least two other supplements on the market which supposedly arc effective in preventing an acid rumen from developing. These arc bentonite ( clay material which is chiefly aluminum silica) and dolomitic limestone (a mixture of calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate). Because of their physical and chemical properties, these com- pounds are not as effective buffers as those mentioned earlier. Their action may be to cause ' faster flow of materials through the rumen rather than act as buffering agents. >.i '' ■ f S •"■ Use dolomitic limestone cautiously because of the greater calcium intake that results. You should not feed this to dry cows because of the need to hold down calcium intake during this period to help prevent milk fever. —Hoard's Dairyman This Clydsdale Creamo Wagon from Dalryland is a remnant of a not so bygone era.

There are not many left today of course, but most of those that are still in existence are being looked after. Dairyland of Burnaby keeps one in good repair, as docs the Centennial Museum in Fort Langley. Locals were treated to rare glimpse of the Dairyland cart just recently when it took part in the Fort Langley May Day parade. The wagon drove the entire length of the parade with its traditional Clydesdale, one horse power, and the added feature of a foal in tow. The young colt accompanying the older horse on the route was a common sight in the days when these carts were in use. The horses were trained to walk the route and stop at the appropriate places without anyone on board the wagon. This way the milkman could walk from door to door while the wagon kept up automatically. Young horses accompanied the climb through the leed bunk older ones to learn the routes and or over the lence. u . take over when the old horse was — Hoard's Dairyman] ready for pasture. OTTAWA (CP) - The inflation rate dropped in April, despite higher food prices, as the effect of April budget measures that lowered provincial sales taxes took effect, Statistics Canada said. The consumer price index, the most widely used inflation measure, rose at an 8.4 percent annual rate last month, down from the 8.8 percent inflation rate in March. Main reason for the decline was the varying provincial sales tax reductions that were announced in the April 10 federal budget by finance minister Jean Chretien. Clothing and transportation prices in particular were lower because of the lower taxes. Statistics Canada says. The index for April stood at 171.1, compared with 170.8 for March. This means a standard basket of goods and services which cost $170,80 in March, rose to $171.20 in April. In 1971, base year for the index, the goods and services would have cost $100. While the inflation rate was lower than it was a month earlier, on an annual basis, consumer prices still rose by two-tenths of one percent in April Food prices were the main contributor to the monthly rise. Beef prices alone jumped by 8.9 percent in early April, and prices for fresh fruit and vegetables also showed seasonal increases. Chicken, other meats and certain dairy products cost more, but prices for many pork cuts declined. Food prices have risen nearly 15 percent in the last year, well ahead of the over-all inflation rate. It is widely predicted that they will continue to increase sharply. Shortages of beef supplies arc expected to put prices up in the coming months. Offsetting foor prices increases in April was the quick effect of the temporary provincial sales tax reductions. Chretien offered in his budget speech to compensate most provinces for two-thirds of any revenue loss for a six or nine-month temporary cut in provincial sales taxes. Although the sales tax cuts have temporarily stalled the rise In the annual inflation rate, it is still high by historical standards. April's 8.4 percent inflation rate compares with the 10.6 percent rate recorded in October, 1975, when the government imposed wage and price controls. (t The controls started coming off April 14 and will be removed entirely by year-end. Still to be assessed is the effect on wage settlements and prices of ending controls. Together with the scheduled end of temporary sales tax reductions in most provinces in the fall, this could mean sharply higher prices for many items late in the year. By April this year, the value of a 1971 dollar had shrunk to 58 cents. B0U-MATIC MILKING SYSTEMS BOUMATIC MILKERS— Designed to do a better job ol milking todays high-production cows.

Whatever precautions they take they still get those nasty little worms eating holes in the carrots. Well, here's something else they can try. It used to be done regularly when pesticides were a rarity. Dip a rag in paraffin, kerosene or coal oil (or are these all the same?) and brush the rag lightly across the whole row of carrots twice a week. The theory is thai the carrot fly is attracted by the smell of carrots but cannot abide the other smell. Those gardeners who grow primulas, polyanthus and primroses will notice that the plants look very unhappy after a spell of strong sunshine. The leaves wilt unless the plants are in continual shade or half shade. What you should do now. after all flowering has ceased, is to cut off half the leaves. By this I mean each leaf should be cut in half and all dead (lower stems should be removed. Then give the plants a thorough soaking and follow it up by giving them a mulch of anything handy, preferably compost. This procedure will reward you handsomely as you will get more flowers later on in the season and the plants will look healthy and not straggly. Last week I mentioned many kitchen items that could be used in the garden. One I forgot to note was the common old bottle cap. These arc excellent to use at the bottom of clay pots to provide . adequate drainage. Not many gardeners grow comfrey. This is an herb that has many medicinal uses and is supposed to be excellent for sprains and broken bones. It is good for animal feed too. Reason I mention it is that it can become a thorough nuisance unless care is taken. Never put old plants or any roots on the compost pile. Some how Ihe fleshy roots do not seem to rot and you will get the plant taking over your garden. I have heard of two instances of this so far this year. I am trying the wire cage system of growing tomatoes for the first time as I have heard it is so effective. You make a circle of one or two inch mesh chicken wire about six feet high and a diameter of four feet. Pet the circle down and then fill about one foot of the inside with fresh manure or unrotted compost mixture. This can be atlded to whenever you so wish but all watering is done inside the wire cage. Tomato plants arc set around the outside edge of the cage at correct intervals according to their type. Plants arc tied to the wire netting regularly. Liquid goodness from the compost is washed down to the roots of the tomatoes. Question: Please let mc know Ihe cause and cure of my strawberry plants dying. The plants have been In Ihe ground just a year. Last summer they were healthy and producing but this year they began lo change color to red, yellow then brown. 1 have dug up one dead plant and found a while worm on the root. H.S. White, 32724 Swan Ave., Mission. Answer: This is a poser because I don't know what the worm looks like or how long it was. However, I rather suspect your trouble is caused by the strawberry root weevil. This pest injures a wide variety of plants, including many kinds of evergreens as well as blackberries, strawberries, and a number of vegetables. Adult weevils are about quarter of an inch long and are dark brown or black. The larvae are white and curled. Grubs feed on the roots and the adults on the foliage. If this is the cause, I don't think you can' do anything with affected plants. They should be lifted and burned. Those that look healthy should be lifted and the holes cither sprayed with liquid diazinon or liberally sprinkled with granular diazinon. Before following this advice, I would suggest you phone or see the district horticulturist. After all, this is a strawberry growing area and he has surely had similar enquiries. If you had not mentioned the worm, I would have suspected the plants were suffering from a lack of winter protection. If the crowns arc not mulched for winter protection the plants are severely damaged. Injury will not be apparent until spring when growth is reduced, foliage reddens and the plants eventually wilt when berries are ripening. This would be unusual in Mission unless your plants were growing in a low area with poor drainage. Help your child at home You may help save your child's siglll witli a simple test given at homo, that can be a fun game to play. Your youngster can't tell you if he or she is not seeing well. A child doesn't know what he should sec. yd one in 20 children between three and five docs have a vision problem. For sonic problems, early diagnosis and treatment1 is the only answer. A home eye test for preschoolers lias been devised by llie milionul society for the prevention of blindness, containing simple instructions for the parents to follow and can help identify children who need professional eye care. Oilier ways you can tell if your child has a vision problem include his rubbing his eyes excessively, sliulliitg or covering one eye, tilling his head or thrusting it forward, blinking often or becoming irritable when doing close work. Crossed, red-rimmed. swollen or watery eyes are other signs, as are dizziness, headaches anil double vision.

It is easy and simplifies food preparation and measurements. The best way to learn it is to use it. Because the transition to metric measuring is inevitable, this chicken recipe lists all the ingredients, dimensions and oven temperatures in metric units rather than the conventional measure. Teaspoons, tablespoons and cups are replaced by millilitres and pounds and ounces are replaced by grams. Chicken is a food that rates high in protein. One way to make sure your family receives enough protein is by serving them foods high in protein several times a day. Why not start your collection of metric recipes with the following recipe? Chicken Roma . . . chicken pieces coated with a seasoned com flakes cereal crumb mixture before baking until crisp. Try thinking metric when measuring the following ingredients. CHICKEN ROMA l.S kg broiler-fryer chicken IL Kellogg Corn Flakes, crushed to fine crumbs 5 ml salt 1 ml pepper 30 ml chopped parsley 2 ml crushed oregano 1 clove garlic, crushed 100 ml light cream or undiluted evaporated milk fresh lemon wedges Wash chicken pieces and dry thoroughly. Combine finely crushed Corn Flakes, salt, pepper, parsley, oregano and garlic. Dip chicken pieces into cream or undiluted evaporated milk, then roll in seasoned Corn Flakes crumbs until evenly coated. Place chicken pieces, skin side up in a single layer in a well-greased shallow baking pan; do not crowd pieces. Bake in preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) about 1 hour or until drumstick is tender when pierced with a fork. No need to cover pan or turn chicken while cooking. Serve with fresh lemon if desired.

P-9-3-124 TOTAL I.7590 SO. FT SECOND FLOOR 750.0 SO.FT. Plan No. P9-3-124 Featured this week, is this ideal home plan for building in an area where property is at a premium. With this design a narrow lot will accommodate this carefully planned family home with ease, but will not give that long-narrow house feeling. The exterior has interesting diagonal siding with a roof that could be either shake or asphalt. One chimney and the front entrance are of brick, with the second chimney encased in vertical siding. At the rear is a double carport that can be enclosed if desired. Through the handsome panelled front door one finds the guest coat closet, stairs to the bedroom floor, hallway to the kitchen and two steps down to the sunken living room. Spaciousness has been created here by the sloping ceiling to the second floor and the half wall at the foyer entry. Featured in the living room is a wood-burning fireplace and full front wall picture window. The kitchen design is completely modern, with space for all the latest appliances and cupboard's galore. The eating bar for quick snacks is a built-in convenience and step saver. Front the kitchen mother can easily keep control of the youngsters in the family room. The family room has room for games. T.V.. lounging furniture, and a cosy fireplace for the cold winter evenings. A back door opens from the family room to the large and partially covered sundeck. Sum* mer entertainment and the bar-b- que will be a delight for the whole family and with the direct access to the kitchen chores are cut to a minimum. The unfinished basement, with a stairway from the inner hall, has a utility room and space for a workshop. There is also space for a guest bedroom or recreation room, with a roughed-in fireplace. All future projects for the handyman. Upstairs the large three piece vanity bath serves the two smaller bedrooms. The master bedroom has it's own three piece shower ensuite and spacious walk-in closet for added luxury. View windows to the rear and room for a complete bedroom suite, plus comfortable easy chairs and T.V. make the master bedroom a retreat to privacy and peace. Creating continual daylight o- vcr the stairwell and foyer areas is a skylite in the sloping ceiling. One will go far to find such a well-designed home to fit on a narrow lot, that contains all the amenities found here.

The crown said an RCMP police constable had seen Gwartney's vehicle swerving on the road until it had turned into a driveway and the driver, Gwartney, emerged, swaying and smelling of alcohol. Gwartney had admitted having some drinks and two subsequent breathalyser readings showed .23 each, the crown told the court. Collings commented that although it was a first offence and no accident had occured, the reading was fairly heavy. "From .08 to .20 you are progressively impaired and from .20 to .30 you arc pretty well dead to the line," Collings told Gwartney as he made the fine payable by September 29 with a default period of 28 days. INFO HEALTH Dr. Bob Young Scabies might not be too bad if the mite that causes it was content to crawl around on the skin. Its habit of burrowing into the skin is what makes the disease so nasty. The Itch, another term for scabies, is caused by a small parasite that is readily transmis- sable from person to person. It is common in schools, communes, and in institutions, and if often affects every member of a family. Spread is by personal contact, not by sheets or clothing.. The primary symptom is itchiness. In fact the word scabies is from the Latin 'to scratch', and the Latin in turn is from a Greek word meaning 'to dig'. THE NEW RX-7 SPORTS CAR from MAZDA! IT'S NEW, NEW!

She burrows a few millimeters to a centimeter under the skin to lay her eggs. The severe itching is due to sensitivity to the eggs or to the larvae that hatch in a few days. The itchiness is severe and often unbearable, especially if the patient is in a warm bed. Patients often diagnose themselves, particularly if they have friends who have been afflicted. The doctor confirms the diagnosis by identifying the minute tunnel and teasing the parasite out, and then examining it under magnification. Sometimes the patient has scratched so much that the burrows cannot be identified in the damaged skin. Generally the patient's story is so typical that the diagnosis can be made without finding any mites, and treatment is begun on the basis of symptoms alone. It is fortunate that treatment is very effective. Unless reinfesta- tion occurs the patient is generally cured. There are several drugs available for the treatment of scabies. All must be used carefully and with attention to the explicit instructions supplied. Personal contacts should be examined. The itching may not subside immediately, and other medication may be required to keep the patient comfortable. In addition the skin scratches may have become infected and require additional treatment. All that itches is not scabies. It is probably wise to have your doctor confirm your suspicion before self treatment is attempted.
