CUT IN MILL RATE ANNOUNCED A -'■ ., 'Heavy band' not fehby By RUDY LANGMANN MURRAYVILLE - While other lower mainland politicians are ranting about the "heavy hand of big brother" government, township fathers here are quite reflective about the whole thing.. Vancouver's mayor, Jack Vol- rich, and the chairman of the Union of B.C. Municipalities, Abbotsford mayor George Ferguson, are but two of the lower mainland politicians who have come back at the provincial government's freeze of local militates making strong statements about senior government "interference", but here in Langley district it has failed to fire latent malcontent attitudes. Mayor and aldermen here just don't care. They are not the least impressed. "It (premier Bill Bennett's last week announcement that his provincial government in order to protect the local taxpayer has moved to freeze tax mill rates and ordered municipalities to use up surplus funds) doesn't affect this municipality at all," says Langley district mayor George Driediger. "We are not only holding last year's mill rate, we have actually cut it for 1979." The preliminary budget for 1979 had already been prepared long before the provincial government put the pressure on B.C. municipalities last week. And Langley councilors, in preparing this budget, decided to slash general expenditures which enabled them to drop the new year's mill rate by 7. The budget has not yet been approved, of course, but Driediger is adamant that the seven mill cutback will be retained. Unless Unless, that is, the local school district fails to hold the same line. But then, "...If we can cut that much fat, they can too," Driediger handily lops the ball into the school board's court. The mayor, who was clearly impressed by the local version of last year's California tax revolt, vowed early in 1978 that taxes would be cut in 1979 and now comes the payoff. As far as Bylaw proposes farm subdivision MATSQUI - A bylaw to rezone existing agricultural land within the urban development area in Matsqui municipality will come before council at their special meeting tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon. The bylaw which reclassifies the land as RS-S subdividing it into five acre parcels is expected to receive, first and second reading tomorrow so that it can go before the electorate in public hearing on January 29. The intent of the bylaw is to curb expansion and establishment of intensive farm operations within the proposed urban development area. Suit threatened; Matsqui gives go-ahead on construction BRADNER-Matsqui council reluctantly gave Frostrup Developments the go ahead to proceed with their development of a 16 strata title five acre lot subdivision in the North Bradner area during council meeting Monday evening. The land use contract for the development was given public hearing and three readings back in August of 1977 and Frostrup was told that adoption of the bylaw covering their development would be approved that September if their final engineering' plans were filed and approved. Final adoption was given the bylaw October 11, 1977. According to a letter received by Matsqui council from solicitors for Frostrup Developments, they were never advised of the final adoption and they continued negotiations through last year to co-ordinate development with adjacent property owners. In October 1978 they delivered a letter ol credit for $53,000 and a certified cheque for 12.1,000 to the municipality. Qn December 18, 1978, Frostrup received a letter returning their letter of credit and their certified cheque and stating that the bylaw was "to be rescinded" because "It should have been registered no later than January 1978. "We have advised our clients (Frostrup) that under section 702 A(4) of the Municipal Act, it is mandatory for the municipality to complete registration of the land use contract." the letter from the Frostrup solicitors continued. Since Frostrup has performed all the requirements under the bylaw they "intend to look to the municipality for damages in excess of S200.000" if the land use contract is not registered before the final date (January 16) that land use contracts can be registered. Mayor Harry DeJong In commenting to council on the situation said. "There arc several things against us. The letter from the solicitor is against us. The land use contract is 16 months old." Council still had reservations about approving the LUC. For one thing, the on site drawings had never been approved by the public works department at any time. Development officer Ken Stin- m. n told council that there are still oilier ways the public can be protected in the situation, one of those being through the insurance officer's Inspection. "Their plans had better be good, or they'll have the home owners down their backs," De- Jong commented. But Aid. Chris Lamb countered that many people buying into developments are first time home owners. She objected to approval for registration of the LUC on the grounds that council has a responsibility to the public. "I don't see how a fire engine or an ambulance could ever get in there," she said referring to the Wells go dry, residents hot ' '. .. >,.; iV',; ;•;•. . Legislative Ubrary .

Lamb requested that she be recorded as opposed to this decision. MURRAYVILLE - Wells went dty in the Old Yale Crescent area list weekend as engineers started the testing of newly drilled municipal well. And according to Aid. Stan Fraser the "whole idea of the test was to gauge the ramifications" of same. During the test run water was pumped from the ground at a rate of four times higher than the amount of water engineers have estimated will be needed to supply a new 'water area' subdivision. The only trouble was that owners of private wells in the neighborhood were, as one resident stated, "caught with our pants down." No forewarning went out to neighborhood residents. As a result their wells empties out overnight, pumps worked Minister chrims reputation hurt VICTORIA • A libel action started by B.C. municipal affairs minister Bill VandcrZalm opened in supreme court here yesterday. VandcrZalm Is suing the Victoria Dally Times, cartoonist Bob Bierman, editor Barb McLintock and publisher Stuart Underhill. The action resulting from a cartoon that was published in the Times on June 22,1978, Is said to be the first of a kind. VandcrZalm, who was human resources minister at the time when the Bierman cartoon first appeared In the Times, says he was depicted as a cruel and heartiest person In his dealings with welfare recipients, and that the cartoon damaged his reputation. current cold snap.

John Deacon, the owner of the feedlot, sent a letter to the B.C. Agricultural Land commission in early November outlining problems he had encountered with neighbors. Now commission chairman Gary Runka has sent a letter to the township of Langley which backs up the farmer In the local feud. The letter reads as follows: On 2 November 1978, the commission received a letter from frantically sucking alf from normally richly supplied shallow and deep water welts, water lines as well as pumps froce up and eventually butted, and fanners were unable to water their livestock. A group of the residents led by Gary Morelli of 22876 Old Yale came to council Monday complaining. "It Is unfortunate that things happened the way they did, that you did not get (previous) notification," said Mayor George Driediger, "but we (council) accept the responsibility for that". Driediger said it had earlier been made councU policy that neighborhood residents always should be notified In advance whenever test drilling and pumping were carried out by the municipality. He promised Morelli that the township would supply the residents with free trucked-in water until such time as the ground water returned to the private wells, and also would look alter the cost of repairs to equipment. Fraser said the engineering department knew of the test pumping and should have informed the local residents. He added that the test pumping now had been terminated and that the tests had' shown that only 25 percent of the water pumped from the public owned well would be needed by the township, leaving ample water to once again fill up the private wells. "It probably won't interfere with them (private well owners) at all when we start regular pumping," he said. He said he thought six or seven property owners had been affected by the test pumping which was carried out continuously over the weekend. Two die in city rest home fire Mr. John Deacon concerning recent problems which he had encountered in the operation of his farm feedlot located at 4085 • 248 Street in the municipality of Langley. The commission considered the issues raised by Mr. Deacon, together with other relevant information and wc understand the following lo be the facts of concern: I. The property owned by Mr. Deacon and on which he has situated his feedlot buildings is within the Agricultural Land Reserve of the Central Fraser Valley regional district. 2. The parcel of 9+ acres with an agricultural capability of Class 4 and 5 is well suited to non-soil bound agricultural enterprises. 3. Mr. Deacon had carefully considered the design of his feedlot buildings in consultation with ministry of agriculture staff, agricultural engineering branch, Abbotsford, and modified his initial plans to conform to the recommendations from B.C. min- LANGLEY CITY - Two elderly people died and six others were hospitalized following a fire at the Langley Lodge retirement home at 5451 • 204 Street early Tuesday morning. Fire fighters from four zones attended the fire which was reported to have broken out in a linen closet on the fifth floor at 1:08 a.m. All residents including the two casualties were immediately evacuated from the smoke-filled building as fire fighters concentrated on this aspect. Dead arc 93-ycar old Mrs. Dunn and an unidentified elderly male. Both fatalities were said likely to have been caused by smoke inhalation. Two of the hospitalized patients were released Tuesday wilh the other four being kept in hospital overnight. Damage to the west wing of the fifth floor was estimated at $60,000. Thcrc'was no damage to the rest of the building. Bird owner seeks council protection ALDERGROVE - A woman who complained about her neighbor's pet birds will be receiving a letter from Matsqui council lo the effect that if her complaint is justified, she should take it to (he civil courts. Mrs. L. Sanders of Sum-alley Crescent, accompanied by her husband and several neighbors, appeared before Matsqui council Council behind farmers too ALDERGROVE • The controversy of piggeries continues. Three neighbors have complained to township council in Murrayville about a piggery on Zero Avenue southwest of here, but Aid. Bill Blair says he visited the Hannesschlager farm and that there was "no smell, it was clean and tidy and extremely well looked after." Albert Rippon, E. Chappie and Mel Russell, all of 244 Street have protested the issuance of a building permit to Frank Hannesschlager of 24333 • 0 Avenue. Rippon has sent copies of a letter to the ministries of municipal affairs, health, environment, and agriculture stating that a year ago he refused lo give his consent to Hannesschlager to establish a piggery on his nine-acre farm, and that, in his opinion, the municipality broke its own bylaw in issuing the permit anyhow. Not so, say officials. Everything was done according to the rules. The bylaw governing piggeries was amended last year, reducing the minimum size of properties on which pig farm operations will be allowed from 20 to eight acres. The neighbors arc all complaining loudly about this change in regulations which they say was done entirely without their knowledge. Councilors, however, arc not sympathetic to their grievances. They voted Monday afternoon to forward a copy of a recent letter they received from (he B.C. Land Commission to Rippon, Chappie and Russell. The letter deals with another complaint from Langley district residents, this concerning a cattle feedlot in the North Otter area. It does not refer to the Hannesschlager farm, but councilors feel that it is relevant nonetheless. The Idler upholds the right ol a farnici to run his form operation without the interference of neighbors' complaints. "There is no way you can freeze tarm land and then tell the people who arc stuck with it that they can't farm." says mayor George Driediger. Monday evening in response to a complaint passed on to her by the noise bylaw enforcement officer about the nuisance her birds create. Sanders told council that her birds, all pets, four ducks and one rooster, were kept penned and that now with winter weather they were confined to housing on their half-acre hobby farm. "Our immediate neighbors have no complaint about the birds," Sanders told council and she asked them if something could be done to stop the complaints from the one neighbor in the community. Last August the same neighbor complained about Sanders' peacock. Following suggestion at that time even though the complaint was dismissed, Sanders moved her peacock to the back of their property. "The next day the peacock died because of dampness there," she said. "Wc want birds." Sanders told council, "but we're afraid to get more." "The birds make less noise than the crows flying around," one of her neighbors added. Council was again asked if something couldn't be done to stop the complaints before there were "no animals left," and they voted to write the neighbor suggesting the matter be taken to the count. istry of agriculture staff. The proposed building-siting conforms with the minimum distance separation formulas of the Green Zone committee. 4. Mr. Deacon made representation to Langley township council on 5 June 1978, requesting approval of his feedlot proposal. On 8 June 1978, council gave written approval to Mr. Deacon's proposal subject only to the condition that he should operate the feedlot in accordance with existing zoning and land-use regulation for the area. The zoning for the area is rural and the only restrictions on building arc a 50 foot minimum setback from property lines and 100 feet from any well or watercourse. It appears that Mr. Deacon has complied with these regulations. 5. The commission understands that on 31 October 1978, at approximately 11:30 p.m. a semitrailer load of feeder calves purchased by Mr. Deacon arrived from Barricre, B.C. Upon the arrival of the truck, and before it could gain cntry to Mr. Deacon's property, certain of his neighbors formed a barricade across his driveway and prevented cntry of the truck to unload the calves. Mr. Deacon called the police who subsequently arrived on the scene and advised Mr. Deacon that although the actions of the neighbors were illegal they were not prepared to take action against them. 6. Further, the commission understands that on the evening of 31 October, the municipal bylaw enforcement officer, Roy Martin, arrived and advised Mr. Deacon that he was in contravention of the municipal noise control bylaw and that the cattle truck would have to be removed from the area until 7 o'clock the following morning. Mr. Deacon complied with this order although he stated he felt bona-fldc farm operations were exempted from the bylaw. From reading the bylaw It would appear that Mr. Deacon was correct. 7. The cattle apparently suffered considerable stress as evidenced by an outbreak of ship- Feedlot' page 2 a TRUSTEE EXPRESSES Lack of confidence in local governments VANCOUVER - "A lack of confidence in local governments" is shown by the minister of finance's announcement of fiscal controls for municipalities and school boards, according to Rubymay Parrott, vice-president of the B.C. School Trustees Association. The minister announced last week that in order to protect the local taxpayer from excessive growth in local government expenditures, the government will implement meetings between municipal councils and school boards, incentives for school districts with improved performance, and guidelines for administrative salaries. "This will not provide protection for the local taxpayer," Parrott said. "If the provincial government is serious about helping taxpayers, they can reduce the basic mill rate set by the provincial government which they have increased for the past three years. They can also ensure that teacher salaries are determined by elected officials through- the collective bargaining process rather than the current arbitration system which removes the responsibility of salary determination from school boards. "School boards are responsible to their local taxpayers and are responsive to local needs," she said. "Let the provincial government give us the tools to work with instead of putting us in a strait-jacket."

Veterinary consultation and treatment was affected, however, three animals did not respond to treatment and died. Upon consideration of the foregoing events and the gen- cral implications of such situations with respect lo the objects and intent of the Agricultural Land Commission Act, particularly section 7(l)(b), the commission decided by resolution #10106/78, lo go on record as supporting lo the fullest extent Mr. Deacon's right to pursue his legitimate agricultural endeavour within the agricultural land reserve of the Central Fraser Valley regional district. Further, the commission reiterated its policy with regard to the integrity of the agricultural land reserves. The commission supports the use of agricultural land reserve lands for non-soil bound agriculture, particularly on those lands ol lower capability, ami is prepared to reinforce that support by way of section 20l5l of the Agricultural Land Commission Act. Specifically, the Commission is concerned with any local bylaws which may. by way of Iheir intent or regulations, be prohibitive lo Ihe establishment or continued operation of agricultural enterprises within Ihe agricultural land reserves. In summary. Ihe commission is supportive of legitimate agricultural enterprise, including non- soil hound or biological manufacturing agriculture, within the agricultural land reserves. All such enterprises have the right to evisl within the agricultural land reserve subject only to reasonable restrictions on their mode of operation. those persons living within the agricultural land reserve must come to accept agriculture as the primary use and further to accept a level of impact consistent wilh reasonable farm management practice. By their nature certain farm operations may not allow an environment consistent with an urban situation, however, those choosing to live in the agricultural land reserve must co-exist with the realities of the rural farm environment and the sights, sounds and odors which inevitably are associated with farm operations. The commission sincerely hopes that Mr. Deacon will, in the future, be allowed to continue his feedlot operation unencumbered by any recurrence of Ihe recent past obstructions which he has experienced. Copies of Runka's letter went lo the regional district, Deacon, and district agriculturists. Council will also forward a copy to the residents here.

Aid. Ada Porter of Delta, chairman of the board, said the headquarters will be built on 1.3 acres in Abbotsford purchased for the purpose in 1975. He said the board had been unable to finance construction since then because of lack of mortgaging powers and grant assistance from Victoria. Last November the board ten tatively approved a plan to build on land that would be leased by Matsqui for 75 years. At a subsequent meeting, however, members urged a one-time assessment for the building in 1979 to allow construction on FVRL land and avoid on-going interest and lease payments. Any surplus due to lower construction costs, proceeds of sale of property and recreation grant would be used to offset library taxes in 1980, Porter noted. In December 12 municipalities responded to a poll by indicating preference for the latter plan. One municipality chose the Matsqui option, two abstained and one did not have time to respond before the board meeting. Porter said approval to replace the 25-year-old structurally unsound and overcrowded headquarters building was unanimous. He thanked Fraser Valley municipal councils for supporting the library's building needs after six years of planning and committee work. The board expects to review drawings and estimates on January 31 and go to tender as soon as possible. Porter said. mm SPOOLS \_ .

The proposed committee will be composed of three school trustees, the school district's senior administration, and LTA representatives. A similar committee^ was scuttled one year ago when the trustees claimed their views were being misrepresentented by members of the teachers' delegation in their reports to the general membership. To deal with the problem, provisions are made for both parties to approve an official record of each meeting. Barring complaints from teachers, the press will also be invited to attend the meetings. "It's basically a motion the whole board agrees with," says school trustee Peter Fassbender, chairman of the staff committee. "There's a sincere belief that we're prepared to sit down and1 have a dialogue. I just hope the LTA accepts it in the same spirit." The terms of reference of the new committee, to be known as the School District No. 35 and Langley Teachers' Association Liaison Committee include: a) all matters dealing with educational programs or the provision of educational services. b) any matter of concern to > either party, except salary negotiations, an area under the jurisdiction of the school district's bargaining committee. Meetings will take place at least three times a year, on the second Monday of October, Feb- bruary, and June, and emergency meeting can be called at the request of either party. The LTA will retain its right to representation at all school board committee meetings and regular meetings. The new co'mmitte bears a striking resemblance to a committee proposed by Fassbender last June, and shot down by the rest of the board with the exception of Kaye Armstrong at the height of hostilities between trustees and teachers. It even bears the same name as the earlier model. A single change in the structure is the increase in size of the school board delegation from two trustees to three. "The board has made mistakes along the way," noted board chairman Brian Westwood, "because we, too, are human." Trustees will officially vote on the proposal at their January 22 meeting. Fassbcndcr's earlier suggestion was heartily endorsed by teachers' association president Terry Eastman.

THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10,1979 Let's deal with the issues....one by one k r,iw | By CORR1NE VANDERWERFF Some aspects of the total regional development scheme have me puzzled. I must admit that 1 do not know all the ins and outs of the plans, but some of the surface details do confuse me. I agree with the idea that a strict, forward-looking zoning can preserve our farm lands and prevent industrial development from infringing on our residential areas, but the current proposal Matsqui is working on aimed at curbing farm expansion in a developed agricultural area does seem a bit paradoxical. The agricultural land reserve was to do as its name implies, I though, reserve farm land for farm purposes. Now it appears that the projected residential development of Clearbrook extends into the developed farm lands of the Old Yale and Mt. Lehman area and a proposed rezoning of the area will prevent farmers from expanding their existing farm operations and prohibit new farmers from locating in the area. These zoning changes which will come before Matsqui council's special meeting tomorrow for initial readings in the form of bylaw no. 1751, is a zoning amendment classifying farm lands in the urban development area RS-5 thus making them five acre parcels, and it will then go to public hearing on January 29. This five acre zoning will effectively prevent intensive farm operations from establishing or expanding in the area because the building set back regulations will virtually make it impossible to build hog or chicken barns. The idea is to prevent an undesirable situation that could arise should, for instance, a large hog operation suddenly find itself an island in a solid residentail development. Some area farmers, I understand, are preparing to fight the idea that they will become legal non-conforming operations under the zoning change. Others support the concept of planning ahead and getting the intensive farm operations into more secluded areas of the municipality where they won't have'a chance to be "offensive" to their neighbors. The question still remains -- if the land freeze was invoked to protect farm lands, how docs this concept of eliminating existing agricultural operations on agricultural land fit in? Maybe this can be explained at the public hearing. However the situation goes, it docs not appear that the farmers will lose. If their land is rczoncd for future development, how can they? » » * If wc were to follow through the line of thinking presented by Abbotsford mayor George Fer- fuson at the joint meeting of Mataqui and Abbotsford councils on Friday, we could assume that we are paying to protect our elected officials from "flak". During the discussion about the fire department Ferguson said that "joing or not... we will have an emergency vehicle in Ab- bostford fire hall." (The joint fire department owns one emergency vehicls, stationed in Clearbrook, and fire chief Al Cook says that one emergency vehicle is adequate for the fire department.) "If the emergency vehicle is tied up at the other end somewhere and there's an accident, a death (in Abbotsford), it's not the' fire chief who take the blame. I take the blame. I'm the mayor; I know wh;rc the flak ends up." Matsqui mayor Harry DeJong responded that since the fire chief has made his assessment and doesn't'sec the need, why should "we as elected politicians be dealing with this matter." Ferguson finally conceded that if the chief says that Abbotsford doesn't need the equipment "and can prove it to me" then he would accept his decision. Perhaps, though, the attitude Ferguson hoped to convey was the one expressed by Matsqui alderman Chris Lamb during rcglard council meeting Monday night when she spoke of the ' 'flak" that could be generated by a poor decision by council. Discussion concerned the Frostrup Developments land use contract and Lamb questioned whether the developers were adequatyely ensuring public safety. "Many of those buying into a subdivision are first time homeowners," she pointed out, implying that first time homeowners may not be aware of everything to assess when buying a homd. The then referred to the Kamloops trailer court tragedy where the city was at fault and emphasized that as elected officials we have responsibility." We look at all the elected officials who control our daily affairs and especially when- caught in some tangle of bureaucratic red tape we see red and mutter and/or shout all manner of uncomplimentary sentiments. Many times, too, the entanglements are worthy of uncomplimentary sentiments. Politicians, though, are real people with feelings, and some of them are even nice people, By virtue of runfiing for public office they have exposed themselves to criticism. Responsible citizens, just as responsible politicians, do not deal with personalities, though, they deal with issues. If current issues concern you, speak to your elected representative, speak up at public hearings, write letters to your editors, share your concerns. Letting all sides of the story be known is the democratic way, but one of the quickest ways to break down the • democratic process is to attack the personality in the process of dealing with the issue. Let's deal with the issues and help our elected officials protect our interests. ■"'"•"*■ •■ ■ ftajDfw'- Clean up...or else Albion-Langley ferry makes river Ice late last week, a run during a break In the Rick Mcllwaln Photo ALDERGROVE - If the debris in the gully at the corner of Fraser Highway and Ross Road is not cleaned, up within thirty days, then Matsqui municipality will send in a crew and charge the costs of the clean-up to the property owners, Mr. and Mrs. M. Leganis. After having the matter before council for the last three years, decision, at the advice of their solicitor, to take this action under provisions of the highways act was made during council meeting on Monday evening. Complaints have come in to council about the unsightliness of the property which has old cars and other debris dumped in the ravine and along the road allowance that goes along the gully behind the auto body shop on the property. Fears have also been expressed that the whole "mess" could cave into the creek that runs through there causing further problems. Previous requests by council to have the property cleaned have apparently generated no response, and council is now taking these legal steps under the highways act.

One section plans legislation; the other section enforces legislation. On paper, this is a very sensible arrangement. The thinkers arc left alone to think while the enforcers arc left alone to enforce. The only problem is the lack of communication from thinkers to enforcers. So the enforcers frequently find themselves dealing with regulations whose purposes they, do not appreciate. The consequences of this communications breakdown can be downright peculiar. The Lee Valley Tools Ltd. case is an excellent example of the sort of administrative boondoggle which can result. Lee Valley is a Canadian-owned firm that depends for a large portion of its revenue on an ingenious wood stove that comes in kit form. Actually, Lee sells a kit which includes legs, stove pipe and a door; the purchaser hunts up a 45-gallon drum, puts all the pieces together and has a dandy wood stove at rock-bottom price. The Lee Valley stove kit stands out as a first-class example of Canadian ingenuity - the sort that could make Canada into a first- class trading country, given half a chance - at work. There has. in fact, been only one tiny snag in an otherwise perfect story: according to Revenue Canada, the Lee Valley stove kit is not a wood stove. Now you or I would have trouble finding any other use for the Lee Valley kit except as a stove. However, you and I are not members of the civil service upper class. Because the Lee Valley kit came without the drum, Revenue Canada ruled that the kit does not qualify as a wood stove. This interesting decision was upheld - after appeals by Lee Valley • by then-Revenue Minister (now Senator) Joseph Guay. So what? you ask, innocently. Docs it matter whether Ottawa labels the kit a wood stove or a pogo stick? Indeed it does. Because of Revenue Canada's ruling. Lee Valley has been fighting for its life. The regulation-making side of the civil service, you sec, decreed under the Energy Conservation Equipment Exemption Regulations that wood stoves (assembled or in kit form) would be exempted from the 12% (recently reduced to 9%) federal sales tax. Although Revenue Canada did not make the rules, it does enforce the regulation. So Lee Valley has been living with a 12% government-imposed price disadvantage compared to other wood stove manufacturers. There's a new Revenue Minister in town - Tony Abbott, who also happens to be the Small Business Minister and is sympathetic to little guys like Lee Valley - and he's promised to resolve the mess. But the problem should not have come up in the first place. Lack of communication in the bureaucracy is one of the greatest sources of frustration for the small business communily. Department of deregulation a boondoggle By VIC STEPHENS I B.C. Conservative leadcrl When it comes to building a bureaucracy Bill Bennett is in there with the best of (hem. His latest brain wave, the MINISTRY OF DEREGULATION, is a new high in creative bureaucratic expansion. One of the government's preelection promises was to cut red tape and reduce the size of government. Several months ago Bennett told us that he had ordered all his ministers to cut red tape in their departments but they had failed to do it. His answer to this failure is to appoint one of these defaulting ministers, Sam Bawlf, as the new minister in charge of cutting red tape. Now. the first question that springs to mind is how can a junior minister succeed where the premier, who has the ultimate authority, has failed? If the other Ministers will not take orders from the Premier, why will they obey Sam Bawlf? Hardly anyone could be found who would not recognize the need to reduce the number of regulations encroaching on our freedom but who is so naive as to believe that one minister of the Crown bent upon deregulation can control eighteen other ministers determined to continue their obsession to control our lives? 1 doubt that the government is serious about deregulation. My guess is that this is a window dressing for the forthcoming election. The result will be the addition of one more fast-growing bureaucracy to absorb the weary taxpayers' hard-earned dollars. If the Premier is serious about cutting red tape then I would advise him not to expand his ministries but reduce them. Cut the budgets of the over-spending, ovcr-rcgulating ministers and require them to live within their means. If a minister docs not perform as the boss requires, fire him! LETTER TO THE EDITOR Use extra precautions Editor, The Star, Sir, May I share an idea with you? At this time of the year, when night closes in early, I wonder if wc could all take extra precautions - both those who drive cars; and those who walk or cycle along the road sides, where there arc no side walks. if all pcdcslrains, who have to walk along unlightcd roads, would wear something light in color, and better still, put reflective tape on their shoes and/or coats, or carry a flash light, it would be so much safer for the pedestrian and enable the drivers of cars to sec them. _■ Also, if drivers of cars would reduce their speeds, slightly, especially when another car is coming from the opposite direction, so there would be no danger of coming near a pedestrian walking, or cyclist, along the roadside, this would help. These little, but important things would help to make our communities safer for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. A happv and good New Year to all! Lillian A.

Writing skills of B.C. grade 12 students earned the label of "extremely disturbing" in a report prepared for the ministry of education, science and technology. Performance of a sample of the students was rated satisfactory on only three of 31 writing skills tested. Conducted last spring, the province-wide assessment was made by researchers headed by Dr. Robert Conry, UBC faculty of education. A total of 9.-000 students from grades four, eight and 12 took the tests. Experienced language arts and English teachers marked them. Grade 12 students weren't the only ones to emerge without flying colors. Grade eight pupils made "satisfactory or better" ratings on only 14 of the 33 skills assessed. Students from grade 4 won a "satisfactory or better" rating on 18 of 27 skills assessed. Both grade eight and 12 students proved weak on narrative writing, organizing written work, summarizing main idea of passages, using correct letter and envelope format, selecting appropriate vocabulalry and maintaining agreement between subject and verb. On.the positive side, the report noted that achievement in written expression at the end of primary grades proved "generally satisfactory." To remedy the situation, the report makes 28 recommendations. It calls for schools to increase English study time in secondary grades. It urges English teachers to emphasize instruction and practice in written expression. It recommends teachers of all subject areas make sure to teach and reinforce 'Our truck has been recalled' Here and now with Cory After all the Christmascs I've been through, 1 think I'm finally on to the thinking behind having it when they do -- they want us to have a fattening good time before we're hit with the January blues. It's something like the fattening of the calf -- they give the poor doomed animal a comfortable, well-fed life before it is led off to slaughter. (You know, the animal's mental attitude affects the meat and the meat-cater.) Likewise we're cheered and fattened in readiness to meet the January onslaught. Think about it. (Actually, if you'd rather not, you don't have to think). We have our Christmas feasting and gift- giving then wc feast in the New Year, all in a week's time. We're filled with good will -- and good resolutions - and the bills start coming in. There are friendly little reminders of holiday shopping at the department stores, and ap preciative notes for our being good shoppers with our credit cards, and warm brown envelopes from Revenue Canada, and shiny white envelopes from Beautiful B.C.'s ICBC, and... But why continue, We've been fattened to handle this. Problem is, the fattened part is as hard, maybe harder, to handle than the bills. And we're back to our yearly re-run with the Battle of the Bulge. To those of us on the larger side of life the only thing more satisfying than a visible weight loss is eating. This year I caught a message from those shop early for Christmas ads. I decided I'd really prepare for the holidays by dieting before. And I lost. The only trouble is that it wasn't weight that I lost. (One of the best diets I've heard about is the sea food diet my friend told me that she'd been on. "It's really quite simple," she said. "I see food and 1 cat.") And now Junior has all this body building equipment set up . in the bascmenet -• bench press | and weights and pull things and whatever - and he religiously goes through daily rituals with the stuff, and he does a bit of evangelizing about it too. "Body building is fine for you," 1 told him, but I did not add out loud that body reducing was the thing I really wanted to get into. Finally he convinced mc that I should go along with one part of : his ritual -- jogging. Jogging's a great invention, 1 found. One of my proudest moments was the day I ran a whole mile without stopping. I was so proud I even told my doctor about it. "Medical research has proven no correlation between jogging and reduction in incidence of heart attacks," he told mc. So he wasn't impressed with my achievements. I guess he would be more impressed with.a definite weight loss and would then happily quote statistics indicating that loss of weight lessens chance of a heart attack. It is time to get back to a diet. The current emphasis on exercise is okay, too. I don't understand this thing about exercise helping one to cat less •• unless one makes oneself so tired it is impossible for one to cat - but it is so, I'm told. Well, I'll experiment to sec if there is anything to it. I do appreciate, though the consideration of one of my friends. She says she never puts calorics into the food she serves. Come to think of it, though, none of the Christmas recipes I used called for adding any calorics. Well, Christmas is over and it is time to get on with January and its bills (my husband claims I don't know what money is; I contend that I know what money is for) and its diets (I know what they arc) and keeping New Year's resolutions. I made a resolution a long time ago to resolve something about money and eating this year. What a quandary! With all these January sales, I don't have any money to resolve about. One bright spot •• the way the prices of food arc going •• milk's up, bread's up, and I've been told that the next shipment is going to bring us lettuce that costs two dollars a head -- dieting will be no problem; wc won't be. able to afford to buy much food. It is a good thing that Christmas comes when it docs. We're still filled with all those thoughts of good will which enable us to handle the business of starting a new year. Russians ain't coming — they're here The Russians arc getting nuttier and nuttier, which is difficult, considering the almost maximum and total insanity from which their point of departure was marked. Franz Kafka must surely have had the Soviet Union as an example when he wrote all of those stories about people being charged with crimes that were not crimes unless performed by those who were charged. Wc mean by this, that walking across the street was not normally a crime, unless performed by you, Mr. X, and if you walked across the street you were arrested and thrown in jail, while all of the others crossing the street were unimpeded. It was a crime only when YOU walked across the street. If you think the Russian system of jurisprudence doesn't work that way, then you have never been there, nor hove you been following very closely the sad case of Mr. Francis J. Crawford, sometimes called "Mr. F. Jay Crawford, the American businessman." This latter appellation contrives to include almost anything that would sound bourgeois to the Russian public and to the many sympathizers with that totalitarian system who live in this country. F. Jay Crawford sounds "hifalulin" bourgeois, and when you say "American businessman" you have virtually convict- c3 anybody with that name and description if he is charged with "currency speculation." "Hifalulin American businessmen" arc the grand speculators in currency, according to the accepted wisdom of Russia. But the people there know, and the law enforcement officers there know, and • what is more important • I know first hand that speculating in Russian currency has been going on for at least 35 years right out in the open and without penalties to anybody unless the government wanted to arrest them anyway. I first landed at Odessa, in the Crimea, at the top side of the Black Sea in 1945, during World War II, and my first long walk was down the harborsldc and up the famous "steps of Odessa" made famous by a Russion movie directed by Eiscnstcin. Lined up on both sides of this long and wide flight of stone steps were at least 200 Russian citizens with their hands and pockets bulging with dollars, pounds, francs, rubles, lets and God knows what other currencies, all of them asking in broken English if you "had money to change." They would give you the "real" price of the dollar in exchange for rubles. I forget what the cxhangc rate was then, exactly, but if a ruble was worth two dollars, the pocket banker - as wc called them - standing along the steps at Odessa would give you three or four to one. In short, when you arrived in Russia, you could make your money go about twice as far by getting it changed by the "walking banks" instead of at the official Russian banks. And to top off this official duplicity even further, the Russian government ran its own "black markets" In Odessa dur ing that time. If you went to the official Soviet Department store, GUM, and you had a ration card showing you had worked sufficiently to purchase a pair of shoes, you could get them for, say, 5 rubles a pair, but it you went to another part of the store, you could get them without a ration card, but they would cost you 10 rubles. This was the government you were dealing, not an American businessman. If Francis Crawford is being tried for this as a crime against the Russian state, then I, too, am guilty of the same crime, as well as several million Russians who availed themselves of these same services. Actually, the ruble had no specific value on the international market, which is a way to say it was worthless. A fictional rate of exheange was set up by the Russian government at a certain figure which was drawn straight out of their Imagination, not quoted from any bids on rubles any place on earth. And it was high. El Paso Journal acceptable standards of written expression. Faculties of education should ' examine methodology courses with an eye to improving instruction of graduates in teaching written expression. Constructive steps to correct the situation are in place. A revised secondary English guide will appear early in the spring. This month, teachers will receive GREG THOMAS resource kits on teaching skills tested in the assessment. The ministry plans to follow-up and in-service programs In teaching writing, undertaken jointly with B.C. English Teachers association. Seriously concerned about the results of last year's tests, the ministry said it considers cor- - rective action a priority issue. It will distribute the report early this month. MURRAYVILLE • Lecturing an audience of local dignitaries with a series of policy statements reminiscent of a parliamentary throne speech, the Langley school board held its first meeting of 1979 Monday. Township council chambers at municipal hall here were crowded with representatives of both Langley city and township, including the mayors, Langley MLA Bob McClelland, (British Columbia's minister of health) and provincial court judge Ernie Anderson. Brian Westwood was elected to his second term as chairman of the school board, while Loren Maluorno of Aldergrove was elected vice-chairman in addition to retaining his assignment as head of the school district finance committee. The 1979 school board remains the same as last year, with Fort Langley salesman Gordon Greed- wood taking over the township scat vacated by retiring Kaye Armstrong. Both incumbents who ran in November's civic elections were returned, Peter Fassbender in the city, and David Bell in the township. The three were sworn in by Judge Anderson, then West- wood, Maluorno, Mamie Robertson, and Dr. Fred Ceresney took the oath of allegiance to officially begin the second year of their two-year terms. Responsibilities handled by individual trustees changed very little when Westwood announced his appointments to the committees of the school board. Only Bell, a Langley local, changed committees, taking bver the secondary education committee from the retiring Armstrong. Greenwood will chair with the special education committee handled by Bell last year. "I plan to bring about more order, and more structure in secondary education," the new chairman told the meeting. "Wc hope to do for secondary education what has been accomplished in the last two years for elementary education." Bell included in his priorities for Langley's grade 8 • 12 program a new standardized report card, more emphasis on academic and vocational programs, and a rc-cxamination of elective course to weed out those he called "mickey mouse classes" in his November reelection campaign. Elementary education will come under the direction of Robertson, while Fassbender continues to chair the staff committee. Fassbender and Bell will be school board emissaries to the local municipal governments, and Ceresney. outgoing vice- chairman, continues to represent the school board on the Douglas College board of directors. Ccresncy's job will become easier this year as responsibility for, funding the college has been taken from local school boards and given to the provincial government, a saving of more than S400.000 to the local taxpayer. Langley's main concern remains the establishment of a Langley campus at a permanent site. It has been more than a year since the campus was approved, but the Douglas College board and the provincial government haven't yet been able to decide on a place for it. Maluomo hinted at further Increase in the pupil-teacher ratio next year in order to hold the school district budget in line with growth in Langley's tax base. Provincial arbitration awardeda 7.6 percent increase In salaries to the Langley Teachers' Association last week, scuttling the finance chairman's hopes for a slight budget Increase of 3Vi percent. The figure Is now expected to be 5 percent, but Maluorno maintains the money can be raised without a corresponding increase in the mill rate. Classroom sizes across the district were estimated at 28 students and a further increase to 30 is described as "acceptable." "We're working towards a program we can work with that gets the job done well," says Maluorno. Fassbender told the meeting he would rather not dwell on his first stormy year on the school district staff committee, marked by a wide rift that developed between the school board and the Langley Teachers' Association. "1 don't want to dwell with the past too much," he said. "The past is something we all learn from." The board's first initiative in 1978 was to sever relations with the LTA, demanding local teachers cither get rid of their representatives to a joint trustee- teacher committee, or face the prospect of having no committee at all. This year the trustees seem prepared to go back to the bargaining tabic. A motion written by Fassbender and Bell calling for a scries of meetings between the board and the teachers was proposed by chairman Westwood, and it is expected to be approved at the board's January 22 meeting. Fassbender also plans to extend a program of consultation with the school district's non- teaching staff that he began last year. "I would like to think we would have good, honest, open, dialogue." Greenwood professes great admiration for the school district's well known supervisor of special education, Dr. Jean Rawlyk, and he opened his committee chairmanship with a rallying cry for equality in education. "Whether they're handicapped in some way, or not," said Greenwood, "1 think students should live and grow together." As for Rawlyk: "She has done wonders. I'm very excited about heading this committee." Robertson, chosen to head the elementary education committee for a second year, recalled the new kindergarten curriculum and standardized prc-scrccning program as her two most significant accomplishments in 1978, and promised the return of standardized, district-wide testing this year. "this will ensure that each shool Is living up to a level of performance wc can all be proud of," said Robertson. The board paid tribute to the retiring Armstrong, who was the first local trustee to espouse the back-to-basics philosophy in Langley. "Kaye Armstrong had done more to crystallize the philosophy of this board in Langley than anyone else," said Westwood. "She was there when the public wanted change, and she provided it." Armstrong looked back on her five years as a trustee in a short speech. "When I first sal on the board, 1 wanted to stand and scream," said Armstrong. "I felt educators didn't want to listen, the public dldnt know what was going on, that wc were all dumb." She said her colleagues had made progress in the three years that the school board has been dominated by back-to-basics trustees. "Without your doing what you did, wc would never get where wc arc today," said Armstrong. "Keep it up, and we'll have the best educational system in all of British Columbia." The meeting adjourned to Newlands gold club for the annual trustees' dinner. ■_______■ mmwmmmmmmmm WKr^^mm^mmmmw FROM THE BACK PORCH BillciarK 1 have just returned from a lawyer's office, wherein I received the sad information that I should have been a lawyer ■- not a writer. The distinction is not subtle I In essence, where 1 now divide one meatball in the family stew between myself and my wife, those in the legal profession quibble whether the steak has been delicately marinated in sherry and mushrooms. In short, 1 seem to have slightly more than my fair share of the shysters and deadbeats who infest the newspaper world as prolifically as fleas upon the armpits of camels. In a world where harassed and ink-stained wretches in Editorial chairs try to squeeze one more hour into a day already plugged to the eyballs, I have picked up a few lulu's who figure than a poor bloody writer IS THE LAST TO BE PAID! Consider, if you will, the black-hearted conniving bastard who now languishes beneath the palms in Laguna Beach, California. He, as publisher, owes me for NINETY-ONE columns. The lawyer tells me it will cost Thirty Five Bucks, just to put my name on a filing folder! HELL, IF 1 EVER SAW THIRTY FIVE BUCKS IN ONE CHUNK, I'D TAKE THE WIFE OUT TO SUPPER! Therefore, I offer up a gentle curse directed to publishers who print and don't pay: ***** MAY YOUR TEETH FALL OUT AND INFEST YOUR MORNING OATMEAL. MAY YOUR HEMORRHOIDS INCREASE AND MULTIPLY, UNTIL YOU ARE FORCED TO STAND FOR ALL ETERNITY ... WRITING. REVISING AND RE-WRITING THE STORIES"YOU DIDN'T PAY 'FOR. THIS IS HELL? YOU SAY!

There, I feel better! Therefore, 1 offer up a Writer's Prayer: Dear Lord, who watcheth over the falling sparrow and endeth its sorrow quickly, consider the Writer: Where the sparrow giveth up the Ghost and chirps thereafter in the boughs and branches of'the Fields, the Writer bleeds a while - and then riseth up again! This is known as a Resurrection, which puts writers in somewhat closer touch with You. Therefore spread Thy .wrath around among the Editors and Publishers who don't pay, because writers try, in their simple fashion, to speak as You did ... and their strength is not with them on one meatball. Thirty pieces of silver would do it nicely, to replace the ribbon on on this ancient typewriter ■- which has also given up the Ghost! The amount should cause you no concern. You know it well. And, when you get around to straightening out those thieving bastards, I have one more simple request: GIVE ME THE BLOODY STRENGTH TO CARRY ON! Amen North Otter, a modern school with traditions NORTH OTTER - North Otter school has served the community since the early 1930's. In the mid 1%0's the old school burned to the ground. It was replaced by a six classroom structure which is now the primary wing of the school. Seven additional classrooms, a gym and a library have been added since that time to accommodate the population growth of the 1970's. The school has over the years provided the children of the community with a sound educatin In the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic. Today's cjiild.cn arc no exception in this regard, In arithmetic test administered, to the pupils of Langley district last June, North Otter pupils scored significantly higher than the distric average. This is believed by local educators is to be the result of the emphasis on basic education skills over the years. At the heart of the school is its library. Here all children from kindergarten to grade seven have an extension to their classroom; a place to be involved in research and study; a place for the reading and enjoyment of books. The teaching of library skills including use of the card catalogues and use of the reference materials begins as early as grade one, on an individual or group basis, to prepare children for independent use of library facilities. Primary children ' enjoy their regular story time with Herbert, the lovable puppet. A permanent library dweller Is Spunky, North Otter's mascot otter, made and donated by a parent, Jeannine Larsen. Music Is a feature of North Otter school's cultural activities. Eighty ukulele pupils arc learning basic strumming, pic melodies, rhythm counting, note reading and singing accompaniment. The ukulele group has participated in the B.C. regional ukulele workshop as a demonstration group under the direction of Maureen Wilson. The choir group has about forty participating children under the direction of Marilyn Pawloski. Pawloski also instructs children in Kodally, a modern method of teaching the basics of music to young children through singing and movement acltivics. Fred de Vrics provides initiation to wind Instruments through recorder Instruction. At the grade seven level most students are involved in the band program Instructed by S. Carplntcr.

Cheque for $13,000 was turned over to Langley Memorial Hospital this week. Rick Mcllwain Photo Langley Memorial Hospital receive cheque MURRAYVILLE - On Monday, January 8 a cheque for $13,000.00 toward a telemetry unit for Langley Memorial Hospital was presented to Ethel Cartwright, chairman of the board of trustees by Lenore Pratt, president of the auxiliaries council at the regular meeting of the council. This money has been raised by members of the seven hospital auxiliaries: Brookswood, Fire side, Fort Langley.

A The story of Jacob ALDERGROVE • four thousand years ago. a bowl of soup and perhaps a plate of delicious food changed history forever, in the exciting scries of Bible adventure motion picurcs being shown at 7:30 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, during January, at the Aldergrove Gospel Chapel, 26580 ■ 29 Ave. Jacob, the supplantcr, bought the birthright from his turbulent, fierce and passionate twin-brother; but found out later what it really meant to be a double- crasser and to become double- crossed in return by someone else. By the grace of God, Jacob was later transformed: and became the founder of the nation of Israel, from whom the Messiah came. Besides the motion pictures being shown at 7:30 p.m. Saturdays andd Sundays, there will be a series of Bible Hour talks at 11 a.m. Sunday mornings for all age levels at the chapel.

PI'ONE B53-838I AlinOTSEOKD As it happens in the United Church By MIKE KERB Y Last Sunday in the Aldergrove and Mount Lehman United Churches we celebrated Holy Communion. This really is a celebration. It is a symbolic meal of bread and wine which believers share and it is taken in obedience to the command of Jesus (Matthew 26:26). * ' Communion is a sacrement, a time to confess our sins and to acknowledge the many times we fall short of the glory of God. Equally important, communion is an occasion when we should accept forgiveness. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). Sometimes we are eager and enthusiastic to give to the Lord. Some Christians work hard and give much of their time, energy and money in support of their beliefs. We must remember, though, that our God is infinitely greater than we are. We cannot out-give the Lord. Holy Communion is a time to reflect that God has much more to give us than we have to give hini. Let's be humble enough to receive what he offers. Rev. Ford arranged the communion service to have a theme of rededication, The music, prayers and bible reading were chosen so that the people could think about their salvation and re-affirm their relationship with God. Clarence Jeffrey and his wife Lilian are very active members of Aldergrove United Church and they ;ye also well known in the local community. Last year both Clarence and Lilian reached the age of 80. For the benefit of readers of this column they agreed to tell me about their lives and their Christian faith. The 3 of us had a very interesting discussion using a tape recorder to help me remember what was said. Here is an extract from the interview. M.K. I am sure that there arc mmamammmaatamaaiaaamm many readers of the Aldergrove Star who would like to hear what you both have to say. May I ask you, Clarence, to begin. Please tell us about your journey through life. C.J. With pleasure. I was born in Southern Manitoba in a little town called Holland. My parents came there from Kansas, travelling by covered wagon. When I was young the family moved 280 miles north and my father set up a homestead. Both of my parents had a strong Christian faith. Mother was a mcthodist and came from Indiana. She gave us a wonderful grounding when we were small, and in later years this was a great help to mc. She taught us by her knee till wc were big enough to go to Sunday School. I also remember the wonderful lady who taught us at Sunday School. Her name was Mrs. Crosslcy. We were given responsibility as wc grew older and maamammwmmmmaammammam when I was 16 1 was Sunday School superintendent. Some years later Lilian and I were married and we moved to the, district of Plainview, Manitoba where there was no Sunday School. We set one up in the school house and I was superintendent for 25 years before we came to Aldergrove in 1944. M.K. Was Plainview a small place? C.J. Yes. We were mid-way between 2 towns of 250 people. It was 8 miles to each town, but the Sunday School soon grew and about 50 children came each week. M.K. How did they get there? C.J. In the summer most were able to ride in a car. When, winter came they would travel by horse and cutter. Those were the years of the depression and then the war. M.K. Before you tell us about your time in Aldergrove may Iask you, Lilian to tell of your beginnings. L.J. I was born in a homestead in Manitoba. There was no town, no church and no Sunday School. 1 was baptised by an Anglican minister who was walking through. My mother taught me to read and gave me a book of bible stories. My father bought a piano when I was 10 and a lady rode 4 miles to give me lessons. M.K. I am interested to note that both of you were introduced to the Lord by your mothers. L.J. Yes. That's very important. As soon as I was old enough to drive a horse I went 4 miles to Sunday School and later to a Lutheran church that was built nearby. I played the organ. When Clarence, and I were married I taught a class at the Sunday School that we started at Plainview. M.K. 1 expect that Aldergrove was the beginning of a new life for both of you. L.J. lt sure was. By then we had a daughter who was an invalid, so our church activities were restricted for some years. C.J. Yes. About 1948 I was asked by a man called Bill Davies if I would help in building the church hall. He also persuaded mc to join the choir. Since then wc have had a very rewarding relationship with the United Church. I've been an elder, I was a trustee for 24 years and I'm still on the worship committee. 1 helped to select many of the ministers and it's been a great pleasure to join so many interesting people in worship. M.K. What about your time in Aldergrove, Lilian? L.J. 1 have much enjoyed serving the Lord as organist and in the choir. Over the years we have had some occasions to call on God for help in times of tragedy. It's wonderful to know we can depend on him. M.K. Thank you both very much. rt______Mw»«iiriili»iii HiifllliU' Guide to Aldergrove To locate the businesses advertised here, find their number in their ad and locate same on this map.

Rick Mcllwaln Photo Local couple celebrate sixty years marriage By JULIE VALENTI The Langley Legion hall on the nigiit of Jan. 2 was decorated with pretty silver and white garlands and pleated paper wedding bells. Guest tables held tall white candles and bottles of wine, both red and white. The head table sported the three-layered pink and white anniversary cake and silver candelabras. Punched up raspberry punch was plentiful and free-flowing as was the bar of beer and hard liquor. The dinner of shrimp, beef, salad, potatoes, peas and rolls was hot and delicious, served courteously by the experienced staff of Legion ladies. The 130 friends and family of the anniversary couple mingled easily and conversationally, those from Aldergrove finding some- - thing in common with those from Connecticut, those from Surrey laughing with those from Yellow- knife. The feeling of the crowd was one of subdued celebration - being a week night, the thought of work tomorrow cautioned most in over-indulgence or late hours. The photographer snapped pictures of the anniversary couple alone, with their children, with brothers and sisters, capturing ALDERGROVE - Carl and Signa Christensen of 27392 - 29A Avenue here last week celebrated 60 years of living together as a happily married couple. Carl, who arrived from his native Denmark in 1914, is a retired farmer from the Coghlan area in northwest Aldergrove. Signa, who was born in Sweden, came to British Columbia in 1916. They met, and were married in Vancouver in 1919. Aldergrove O.A.P.O. news By ERNEST CLUETT ALDERGROVE - The January meeting of the O.A.P.O. #71 held in the hall on 273 Street attracted 130 members despite the cold east wind blowing through Aldergrove. The . steady growth of the membership is reflected in the increasing number of members who attend the monthly meetings held on the first Friday in each month, to hear about the efforts of the executive to run the increasingly complex business of the organization. On members' behalf. Bob McClclJand, ML^JXSMK&Sj to,, appoint a health nurse to have an office in Aldergrove. A committee has been set up to help old age pensioners in small tasks they find themselves incapable of doing. This well include such things as house repairs, gardening and painting. It is hoped that the service, excepting the cost of material, will be free. Mr. Green of the Aldergrove Lions, addressed the meeting outlining the proposed extended care complex for Aldergrove. This will be in conjunction with the low rental housing earlier put forward by the Lions. There arc in the district of Aldergrove over 100 people in urgent need of extended care. Even if there was room elsewhere the majority do not want to leave Aldergrove, so the Lions arc proposing a complex close to the hall. After each meeting refreshments are served. This enables the members to meet old friends, discuss the latest Aldergrove gossip and rehash the old story of Joe Blow threatening to divorce his wife because he had caught her in the bathtub with Mr. Clean. The Saturday dance was attended by the usual cnthusjastic dancers. The Aldergrove Rangers, under cmmccc Slim Burrcll. kept the music in high gear tyitil midnite. Door prize was won by Edith Grey and the spot by Roy In 1923 the Christensens moved to the Langley area and from there to Coghlan.

The large roof area will be purtlcularily attractive in cedar shakes, or use asphalt shingles. The sleep pitch is designed for areas where snow load is a problem, but with the right rooting, it can become a feature. The remainder of the exterior is finished in horizontal siding. Again there's a choice of materials, use bevelled cedar siding, either planed or rough, vinyl siding, or aluminum. Each type has advantages and disadvantages. Building supply dealers are usually well informed, and can be extremely helpful to help you decide what to buy. From the large entry, which is open to the second floor, steps lead up to the bedroom level. Use spindles and a wood handrail for this stairway, to create an open feeling in the foyer. To the right is the living and dining room with a wood-burning fireplace, and large window son both ends ol this area for lots of light. There's a space-saving pocket door between the dining and kitchen areas. The kitchen design olfers plenty of counter space, as well as an ideal location for the microwave next lo the canned goods, or broom closet. The utility room is on the main floor level, next to ihe kitchen and nook, and also adjacent to the carport. There's an extra two piece bathroom here for convenience.

Terry along with members of the Vancouver Natural History Society, White Rock and Surrey Naturalists and the Langley Field Naturalists assisted, the White Rock and Surrey club with the annual bird count that spreads out over a fifteen mile radius. This area is divided into several sections, each has a leader with one, two or three observers and a recorder. A total of one hundred and eleven species were recorded for 1978, compared to 104 last year and 114 species three years ago. The great horned owls and waxwings were not seen on the' count. The leader for Section A was Jack Williams with help from several observers. They recorded 45 species with a total of 2,151 individuals. Interesting to note on his count were a yellow rumped warbler and 80 woodducks in a small pond in the Serpentine Fen. Section B - Doug Brown and his group had a total of 71 species, with 5 swans a golden eagle, western sandpipers and pintails.. Section C - Harold Satterfields group sighted 67 sp. and 2,679 individuals. A flock of 1400 dunlins, red head ducks, 9 loons, 15 western grebes were a few species sighted along the shoreline from White Rock to Crescent Beach. Extremely cold winds and choppy waters made indentification very difficult. Jack Sarles had section D - with 31 species totaling 740 individuals, these included a merlin and lots of hawks. Section E • leader Mike Doubleday recorded 32 species with a total of 912 birds, they sighted a Swainsons hawks and savannah sparrow. Section F - Marion, records 1600 widgeon, kingfishers, varied thrush, huttons vireo and snipe. Section G - Gladys, had a total of 2,093 individuals, including a lot of mallard ducks, a golden eagle, morning dove and green winged teal. Section H - Mary Pastrick and observers recorded 39 species with a total of 2117. These include 2 western meadow larks, pileated woodpecker, Canada geese, winter wrens, golden and ruby crowned kinglets and stellars jays. Section I - Al Grass with his observers sighted 50 species that totaled 1134 birds. Several owls, including the Barred owl, found in Campbell River park, 9 flickers, 60 towhees, goshawk, peregrine falcons, a pair, 7 red breasted sapsuckers. Section J • Mavis Willox, drove a total of 40 miles on their route that took them into the U.S.A. They recorded 51 species totalling 17.100 individuals. Snow gees, bald eagles 33 hooded mergansers, black turnstones, 18 common loons, pelagic cormorants, 185 canvas backs. Other reports include 3 Annas hummingbirds and immature goldfinch. A second prize was given out for sighting an immature town- send's warbler. Accurate indentification, number of species, section area, mileage by car and covered by foot are all recorded along with the names of participating observers and leaders are sent into the Audubon Society. This annual event has scientific values that provide data for wintering migratory patterns of birds. Nature Sightings; On Jan. 4th, three swans were sighted at Nicomen slough and 30 Bald Eagles.

Rick Mcllwaln Photo Gas guzzlers can save you money By The Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia Don't forget your car when you're filling out your income tax return. That costly gas-guzzler can save you money. Big business, remember, isn't the only segment of the community to receive so-called tax breaks in the form of expense deductions. the ordinary wage-earner can claim them, too, and one deduction he often overlooks is the cost of running his automobile. An employee who owns or leases a car and uses partly, to earn income in his job and partly for personal purposes may deduct a "reasonable" portion of the total running expenses during the year. This includes a depreciation allowance, called capital cost allowance, and interest on money borrowed to buy the car. The rental of a lease car comes under the heading of operating expenses and also In deductible.' But what is "reasonable"? And how do you separate "business" and "personal" reasons? The best and most common method is simply to use the relative mileages Involved. (But remember here that mileage between your home and place of work is considered "personal" driving.) For example, if you drove a total of 20.000 miles in the year and 10,000 of them were "business" mileage, you could claim 50 percent of your expenses as being deductible. Naturally, this calculation may vary slightly to allow for a blending of the "business" miles driven with the actual time the car is used for business if. on the basis of mileage alone, the figures seem unreasonable.

Leading scorers for the Totems were Sandy Daigneault with 16 points and Barb Bennett with 6 points. Janet Cronkhite and Can- dus McLellan each added 4 points. Amy Chard, Sally-Jane Justice, and Diane Turpin provided strong defensive play for Aldergrove. The grade 11 players on the team, Heather Greig. Kim Bruce, Sue Kerslake, and Vicky Kuttcr. also performed well when called upon to play. The hard-earned, well-deserved Aldergrove team victory leaves the senior girl Totems with a season's record of 6 wins and 7 losses at this point in their schedule. The Aldergrove senior boys had a tougher time with the highly ranked Mission team. In their first league game of the season, the Totems threw the ball away 18 times and made 16 other ball control errors resulting in a disappointing 89-66 loss to the Roadrunners at Mission. Jamie Mobcrg and Chris Huff played a consistent game for Aldergrove but the team as a whole failed to play up to its' potential. In their practises, the Totem coaches plan to eliminate the high number of unnecessary and unforced fundamental errors the team has been making. This week the Totem play at home against arch-rival Langley on Tuesday. January 9th. There will be three games that night starting at 4:30, 6:00, and 7:30 P.M. On Thursday the Uth, Sardis will provide the opposition in the Aldergrove gym. Game times Thursday arc 6:00 and 7:30 P.M. Then.

Move the highwoy petition presented MATSQUI - A "move the highway" petition bearing 129 signatures was presented to Matsqui municipal council Monday evening by Barry Tufts of Clayburn. The petition, addressed to Mayor Harry DeJong of Matsqui, Mayor George Ferguson of Abbotsford, minister of municipal affairs.Bill Vandcr /.aim. minister of highways Jim Fraser. and the residents of Matsqui and Abbotsford, deals specifically with the proposed Abbotsford-Mission connector and registers opposition to construction of the proposed highway through the residential area in and about the vicinity of Beck Road and Immel Road. Concrn Is voiced lhat construction of the highway would ruin lhat prime residential area and it was submitted that "the highway was routed through our neighborhood without considering the interests of the local residents." The petitioners further submitted that they prefer and support the routing proposed for the highway along "C" street in Abbotsford. Council members voted to receive the petition, suggesting to Tufts that the petition would be kept in mind when discussions on the Mission-Abbotsford routing is discussed by committees. A resolution voted by the joint Abbotsford-Matsqui councils last Friday calls for study of the highway proposal by committee of the joint councils. Although Abbotsford agreed to further study the highway routing, they are unanimously in favor of the proposed routing along Beck Road. Matsqui's position is that, because of residential development in the area of the original routing as planned ten years ago, the highway route be reexamined to sec if any suitable alternative solution exists. Matsqui council had earlier requested MLA Harvey Schroeder to continue his efforts to arrange a meeting wilh the ministry of highways and the joint Matsqui-Abbotsford councils. •SHARPENING •SALES •REPAIRS •GRINDERS •ALLSAWS •BLADES 'SHEARS •CHISELS 'KNIVES •SKATES 'BITS 'MOWER BLADES 'CHAIN SAWS •LAWNMOWERS •OUTBOARD MOTORS FASTS SAW SHOP ABERDEEN LUMBER BLDG.

This is a matter of concern for gardeners who have moved to new property. Do you cut the tree down or do you try to restore it? If you are going to restore it,. winter is the time to do it, when the tree is dormant and the sap is not rising. If the tree is making very little new growth, all pruning can be done at once, otherwise space the work over two or three years. First thing to do is to remove all dead or diseased branches. Then you should aim to let in light and air by removing sufficient large branches, particularly in the centre, for those remaining to be about two feet apart in the outer spread when new growth takes place. This is not an easy thing to do. If one person is up the tree pruning, it is wise to have another person on the grpund giving directions. Cut out any branches that are crossing or badly placed. Many old trees have 'branches that reach for the sky making it impossible to pick fruit. These branches should be shortened to a lateral at a uniform height. Any thin . branches coming away from the main trunk should be cut off at the trunk. These are known as feathers. Having got the branch framework to your satisfaction, you must now attend to any complicated spur systems. These spurs are the future bearers of fruit but if they are too numerous the fruit will be of poor quality. Some must be reduced in size and others must be completely removed. As a general guide, these spurs should be spaced about nine inches to a foot apart. When you have finished pruning you will have a great mess of branches and twigs on the ground. They should be cleared immediately and will make a fine bonfire. During the pruning process, several large cuts will have been made. If left untreated, these open wounds can become big trouble. They should be painted or waxed to prevent the onset of disease. Tree-wound paint can be obtained from any garden shop. After all pruning is finished, the tree may still look unsightly wjth moss and lichen covering the branches. This can be remedied by spraying the tree with a tar-oil winter wash. This is not a poisonous spray although it does eradicate many harmful bugs, later on, say in early February, the tree will greatly benefite from a lime-sulphur spray. Wear goggles when you are doing this spraying or get it done by contract. Now for the finishing touches. There will probably be plenty of grass and probably some suckers coming from the base of the tree. Clear this away and lightly fork the soil about eight feet across. Of available, give the tree a good mulch of rotted manure in this area. To complete the job and to make it look neat, llmewash the base of the trunk for about three or four feet and apply a grease band above this mark. Insects do not like lime and hte crawling variety will avoid newly lime- washed trees. Grcasebands will trap many other non-flying pests trying to find a haven in the tree.f Pruning is a slow job but mus) be done properly. All instruments should be really sharp and a razor-sharp knife should be used to smooth off saw cuts and jagged edges. It is very possible that heavy pruning will result in few fruit the first year but what fruit you do het will be larger and better. There is no hard and fast rule about pruning. It is largely commonsense. Your tree needs to have free circulation of air during the summer so keep it as open as possible by pruning away any branches that are trying to grow in the centre of the tree. Just one word about safety. Tree pruning is rather like rock climbing. One slip and you may be in sever trouble. Make suer any ladders are firmly in place, wear non-slip footwear, test etch foothold and endeavour to have someone with you when up the tree.

A recent article of mine concerning the physician's role in determining the fitness of older people to drive has reminded me of other areas where the doctor Is asked to assess a person's suitability for this activity. Younger men and women who drive specialized equipment are required to have a physical at fairly frequent intervals, Bus driver, heavy equipment operators, and individuals in charge of vehicles with air brakes are among those affected. The reasoning is, of course, that the truck or bus, because of its size and weight, or because passengers are carried, should be operated by a healthy driver. The guidelines for the physician are more stringent in these cases than they are for automobile drivers. The road test is also more exacting for the professional driver. Decisions must be carefully made when a man's or woman's livelihood is at stake. Patients recovering from illnesses often ask their physician when they can start driving again. Many factors may influence the doctor in providing his professional opinion. At times local driving is allowed before permission is given to take a trip. If a patient has been told by a doctor that he must not drive (for reasons of ill health), and the doctor becomes aware that the patient continues to drive, the law requires that the doctor inform the Motor Vehicle Branch. They, in turn, usually send the patient a form requesting a physical examination be done. Special consideration has to be given to people who- are handicapped. Those with epilepsy, amputations, vision problems, or psychiatric illness require special attention. The assessing physician is helped by guidelines provided by the Motor Vehicle Branch, but these are not sufficient to cover every case and often common sense is the key to the decision. The final, and probably most frequent contact between doctor and driver occurs in the emergency department of the local hospital. In spite of 'preventive maintenance' of drivers, care of accident victims continues to be all too frequently required.

New centre hosts Chilliwack artists ABBOTSFORD - An exhibition by two Chilliwack artists will be featured this month at the new Valley Art Gallery at Fraser Valley College here. From January 12 to 31, June Grainger and Phyllis Smith, both of Chilliwack, will show paintings, drawings, graphics, sculpture and ceramics in a joint exhibition. Both are senior students at FVC and have studied there since the college opened in 1975. Both have backgrounds in art, have studied with other teachers and have exhibited in many Valley shows notable last year's regional juried show in Mission. Smith received an honorable mention in that show for an acrylic painting. Both women are members of the Chilliwack arts council and the Chilliwack weavers' guild. Their active lives include their families as well as the community. June Grainger is a member of the Chilliwack field naturalists, and her watercolor paintings reflect her love of nature. Phyllis Smith's other interests include the horticultural society and the Chilliwack historical society, and though she says that the subject she is most interested in is whatever she is working on at the time, she admits a leaning towards figurative painting in any medium.

The five questions listed were: • Where do we go with regional districts? • What about urban transit? • How do we introduce controls on municipal taxation? • Can we afford to hinder economic growth and development? • Are we over-regulating the lives of our citizens? Commenting on the questions Aid. Chris Lamb remarked that there are really only four questions left to consider since there's already been a decision on the question of introducing controls on municipal taxation. Vander Zalm is scheduled to be in the area on January 25 and Matsqui council is arranging a meeting with him then to discuss local issues. THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10,1979 M-A fire dept.

The only things now which threaten to take over arc Robert's pottery and paintings. The livingroom. comfortably furnished, attractive and tidy, is tilled with pottery • giant plant pots turned upside down and fitted with large round pottery trays that serve as end tables for the two chairs that flank the fireplace: vases, ashtrays, dishes, lamps and sculpture arc strewn about in a precise, decorative manner. The walls hold Robert's oil paintings, three or four of them and two paintings done by friends. Robert is a potter mainly, a painter when there is time and a plaster of paris sculptor rarely. The reason for his choice of artistic priorities is because "there's no as good a market for sculpting and painting. It's harder to sell a painting or sculpture. They arc less functional. A lot of people don't want to spend a lot of money on a painting. Some do. but most are content to go to Woodward's for one that would cost 539, rather than one 1 would do which would cost them S200. It's that point plus the point that in pottery, everything I make is a functional thing. Lamp bases, coffee mugs, casseroles. People arc willing to put money out for things they can use for a long time." A double garage which houses two electric kilns and the glazes, and a basement give Robert plenty of space to create his potted wares. His work is sold through local retail outlets like the Heritage House Gallery in Langley. but most of his sales arc done directly tliroughl the studio or craft fairs. He's been in many craft fairs - West Vancouver (J"I would have thought West Van would have been a great place for a craft fair but it was one of the flops of the year. I just wonder where the people spend their money in West Van. Maybe the taxes are too high."), Surrey, Richmond. White Rock and Langley (all rated "god"). His experience over the last three years in numerous fairs has led to some definite observations. "There are times when I'll outsell another potter at a fair or he'll outsell me. It boils down to a lot of things • what kind of selection you had that weekend, if you're running low on a lot of items and you're getting more restricted you'll sell less. I think a lot of it depends too on the mood of the seller. If the person is in a bad mood or doesn't feel good, people pick up the vibes and they don't feci totally comfortable. But if you're happy and relaxed and you create a warm atmosphere, people are more relaxed and they stay and look at the stuff longer „ and you get a better chance of selling to them." He docs commissioned work also, much' of which he is busy with right now. He's got an order for a complete set of dinnerware that he has to complete within six weeks. The majority of his orders arc for things like casseroles and coffee mugs, however. His mugs are "the biggest coffee mugs I've seen -1 like them big personally." Potting.has been a full time career for the last three and a half years. Before that, he was enrolled in a two year arts program at Langara College which he completed. Originally he went to Langara to study painting but got into pottery Wardair Charter Flights available — Book Now! •European Coach Tours* •Alaskan Cruises* ••Wayne's Travel Service Ltd FOR ALL YOUR TRAVEL NEEDS OCA CI 01 Aldergrove Centre 3100-272nd SI.

The second year I decided my painting was much farther ahead of my three dimensional work of pottery and sculpture. I wanted to get my balance, put painting aside pretty well and really concentrate on the ceramics and sculpture. So then my three dimensional stuff was more equal to my painting.They help one another. Working in three dimensional objects gives you a whole new perspective of painting two dimensional things. And working in two dimensions, you get whole new ideas working in three dimensions. My painting has become more graphic, more flat in the last year. 1 don't have to create a three dimensional surface there because I can create it here in my pottery. 1 don't have to deny the flat surface I'm working on when 1 paint; I can acknowledge that. In potting, if I put a painter's concept on it and make it flat and put no shape to it, that's denying all the potential I could get out of the three dimensional forms." , "1 learned pretty well everything at Langara. I worked hard there. I spent most of my time in research and design, not a lot in production. I did a lot of practising in throwing techniques. 1 didn't do any production until three weeks before the end of the year." As as child, Robert had an interest in art and spent a lot of time drawing. Everyone told him he was the artist in the family. But "I never really thought of being an artist. I was never conscious of art or what I wanted to do about it until I got into high school. In grade eight I decided I wanted to be a commercial artist because everyone said that being an artist like I am now 'is too hard, you can't do itl 'Almost no one makes it who tries.' Then, after my cousin had trouble as a commercial artist, I decided I'd be a draftsman -1 could still draw and paint and make a living at the same time. After high school, I decided to be an architect • I could make a lot of money, retire early and then do what I really wanted to (be an artist). But I decided no, I'd rather work six months of the year digging ditches and six months painting, potting." His career has been lucrative right from the start though, and he's only had to put in one summer with hydro for extra funds. His future with pottery and painting seems certain. "As far as 1 can see, I'll be doing this for awhile. I'm still building markets. I haven't even started with the painting. After you get a market, you can build a bigger market, go national, North American, international. Or you can say I don't care if I get that kind of recognition, all I want to do is experiment. So, if I have enough market, I can start experimenting with different theories. It's unlimited. There's a lot of challenges." Fame to Robert isn't something he thinks much about. He wants to be "famous enough to make a living without having to worry." Expanding to wider markets isn't necessarily the kine of fame he garners. "It depends on what kind of life style 1 want.

It has made him think of his surroundings in more perceptive ways than he may have thought if he was in another occupation. "When 1 started pottery three years ago, 1 remember looking out the window at the trees and stuff like that and being amazed at how much texture and color there was out there. I'd see a tree standing alone out in a field and notice how it took up space. 1 became more aware of space, basically, because of pottery, because that's what I'm dealing with. Every time 1 make a pot or a lamp base, it affects the space around it and creates some kind of feeling. And I think that rubs off into ah, ah, human space too - how people are sitting next to each other, body language, attitudes, how people react to other people." It's (pottery) my way of communicating with the world, my window too, to look through at settled and clear and when I turn everybody else. Not so much that_ around and turn my back on it, I I'm doing a direct thing in a sense can have a fresher view of what's but because it keeps my mind around me.
