^^^■^■■^W" ■-"•"V"' 1 local farmer calls for new meeting on industry Itovlnci«l library Smt. 7? Victoria BC NORTH ALDERGROVE - Andy Morrison does not want to move. He owns fifteen acres in the middle of a proposed industrial centre in Aldergrove, and he finds the thought of being pushed off his l^nd by industry rather disturbing. Five years ago the local farmer moved away from the city to start a new life out here in the country. He looked around and found his fifteen acre parcel on 272nd off 56th Avenue. Since then he has worked hard building his new house and developing the acreage into a paying farm. Although Morrison still drives to and from work in Vancouver every day. he has plans to build the farm up and eventually turn his land completely to raising cattle and broiling birds. "That's what I came out here for, to get away from the city," he said Monday in an interview with The Star. Morrison feels that if the proposed 800-acre industrial centre is approved it will threaten his life-style. He is afraid that rush hour at the end of the day will turn north Aldergrove into one big traffic jam. "1 sent a letter to the regional district voicing my objections," Morrison said, adding that the letter was never read in an open meeting but was tabled for presentation at a closed gathering of board members. He said he knows of other people in his area who own farms and do not want to be located in a major industrial park. He also points out that people in the area who have placed a price on their land are wanting as much as six times what the industrial developers offer. "I just wonder if anyone's stopped to think about the impact," Morrison queried. "All that industry that moves in here is going to bring all the personnel with it." The local farmer said he doubts very much if the thousands of jobs that the centre is supposed to provide will be of any benefit to Aldergrove. "To me everything that is read in the paper and heard on the radio is what Mrs. Loretto said." Morrison noted, adding that it is time the other side had a chance to air its views. "I can't see why this thing's ever got so far as it has without talking to somebody, " Morrison complained. "1 don't want to. move anywhere, it took a long time to find this place," he stated. Morrison feels the developers, Gloucester Properties, have progressed with their application further than anyone in the north Aldergrove area expected them to do within the given time frame. "We had a meeting of the County Line Residents Association and the mayor was there, and before it got going he stood up and said the meeting was a year premature," Morrison revealed, adding that the meeting was obviously not premature at all. The local farmer said there should be another meeting as soon as possible where people can discuss the project at its present status. "All the disadvantages," stated Morrison, "have to be spelled out as well as the advantages." He speculated that if another meeting was held there is a strong possibility that the local residents would vote the project down. "There is not going to be 6,000 jobs," he said. While Morrison is opposed to having an industrial centre on the doorstep of his new farmhouse, he is, however, not without sympathy for the developers. He feels it is unfair that the development company should have to pay thousands of dollars for impact studies and planning reports ordered by the regional district, and he recognizes that a Seasons change Season's come and seasons go. Fall is beautiful — just take a look at George Neuroth photograph — and as we sit in our office we recall another fall, just over 11 years ago, when we first came to Aldergrove to settle down and take over the management of this town's struggling four-page weekly newspaper. Soon fall turns into winter, winter turns to spring, and before you know of It summer Is once more back In the Fraser Valley in all Its splendor. Eleven changes of the seasons. Sometimes it has been a hard row to hoe, although right from the start we felt the underlying community acceptance to our efforts. That alone was what kept us going through those difficult years, and we suspect It was the same spirit that kept our predecessors publishing here in Aldergrove for the first nine and undoubtedly very difficult years. One by one they fell by the wayside, but let us assure you that their defeats were completely honorable. They all put up a valiant struggle to keep the fledgling newspaper in the Fraser Valley boondocks going inspite of all adversities, and when they left it was in order to go on to bigger and better things. There were, mind you, still in 1966 those that cheerfully told us that we wouldn't last for six months. That was another incentive not to give In, and of course we did survive. ,'••■'•• It was not until about three years ago, however, that 1he town really started taking off. The Sleepy little hamlet that nobody in metropolitan Vancouver knew the geographical location of, started — slowly — on the road toward its present boom. The old community of Alder Grove, proceeding in age those of Langley Prairie (now Langley City) and Abbotsford, not to speak of that young pipsqueak Clearbrook, had finally found its legs. Today the Aldergrove Star is no longer a four or six page sheet but a large and widely read community newspaper serving a rapidly expanding area. Throughout the passing years we have done our best to maintain the goal we first laid down: to serve the Aldergrove district as a political and economical independent publication of local news, opinions (usually many-sided), features, and as an advertising and promotions medium. And we must have been fairly successful judging from reader response. You, our readers, have been kind to us, offering praise when deserved and criticism when due, and we thank you. It has been encouraging to deal with you, and sometimes a bit overwhelming. Unaccustomed as we are to rapid expansion as It has manifested itself In this community during the past couple of years we sometimes have to take hold of ourselves... as during a recent week when our list of paid subscribers grew by more than 100. In 1966 we had less than 400 paid subscribers, and today we add more than one hundred in just one week. But so it goes. You have been kind and you have been understanding, Aldergrove, and we love you. The reason, we feel sure, is because you are the true 'melting pot' In. the finest traditional sense, a place where people of a multitudinous ethnic and religious background have learned to live together In harmony. As expansion continues we will continue to guide the community in the direction you would, like it to take, and twenty years from now, although we might not any longer be, the Aldergrove Star will still be here and shine over the lower mainland.

Morrison wants a new meeting in the County Line area, and he wants to see some sort of direction indicated for the centre. He cites new schools, extra roads and improvements, extra policing, more sewer and water services and increased population as some ofthe points that must be considered at the meeting. ■M Autum In Aldergrove. Photo by George Neuroth Massive delegation lobbies for pavement Council fears quashed Parents asked to support ' Basics Bunch' By GREG THOMAS LANGLEY — Parent-teacher groups in two Langley city fundamental schools have endorsed the 'Basics Bunch', a slate of fundamentalist candidates for the Langley school board, in the upcoming November civic elections. In a letter sent home to parents with children attending the Langley schools, the PTG presidents invited parents to attend a 'Meet the candidates' night at Langley Prairie fundamental school, October 21, and to contribute funds to the Basics Bunch campaign. A spokesman for the Independent Electors Association of Langley, another group expected to run a slate of candidates in November, questioned the use of students to deliver the PTG literature, charging that students at both schools were involved in politics. But Langley Prairie PTG President Chris Pedapaw who authored the letter, said the school was not involved in the Parent-teacher groups fund raising activity in any way. "As a PTG, we have the right to collect funds for any purpose we wish to," said Pedapaw. School trustee Brian West- wood, who organized the Basics Bunch, said he was not aware of Pedapaw's actions until the letter had been distributed to parents. He said he ehecked with the district's administration to ensure that the PTG had broken no rules, and was told the group had the right to solicit funds for the campaign. One stipulation, that the messages to be sent home with the students be printed on the group's own paper, was adhered to, according to Westwood. The group is prevented from soliciting political donations from the school, and as a result, Westwood requested the PTG remove a passage in the letter requesting that donations be left at the schools. 150 parents attended the meeting, but no one has yet contributed money to the campaign. Parkside fundamental school in Aldergrove has not joined the Langley schools in endorsing the slate. CLEARBROOK - Diane Haag was the main spokesperson, but she had more moral support than the average delegate to a Matsqui council meeting. The delegation appeared at municipal hall here Monday morning to present a petition calling for the paving of a section of Downes Road, and there were enough people with Haag to fill council's public gallery. The section in contention stretches from Gladwyn to Glenmore Road, and Haag told council the present state of the road is dangerous, unsightly and too expensive for local residents. She said the petition with 99 signatures was being delivered at this time because this is when the budget for next year's public works projects is started by municipal accountants. "We'd like to be on that budget," she told council. Haag said staff at the hall : seemed to think the road should be completed with a local improvement grant, but Haag and Mhe others who signed the document expressed disagreement. She said the road should be paved out of municipal coffers if only because the rest of Downes Road has been done that way. The spokesperson went on to point out that council is not saving anything through the delay of paving projects. She cited an eight percent inflation rate which is probably closer to ten percent at the moment. Haag pointed out that any figure council sets for the project will double over ten years. She also claimed that the road is costing local residents as much as $300 per year per two-car family. This figure was based on a Amalgamation the topic ABBOTSFORD — Amalgamation in the Fraser Valley is the topic of a special community forum organized by Simon Fraser University and Fraser Valley College to begin next week. Speakers include C. Woodward, assistant deputy minister in the department of municipal affairs and E. Chace, of the city of Nanaimo. Proponents and opponents of Fraser Valley amalgamation have also been scheduled. Prof. J. Wilson, of SFU's geography department, will moderate. The forum will take place over two consecutive Wednesday evenings at Fraser Valley College beginning Oct. 26. The first lecture will be in room 204, the second (Nov. 2) in room 108. Both will start at 7:30 p.m. Admission will be SI at the door. U.S. government report on repair costs to cars that are driven on bad roads. "It's main road," said Haag, explaining that all main roads should be paved to allow access between the smaller communities in the district. "It's also one of the oldest roads," she stated. Downes Road was first opened in 1890 when two local pioneers decided to build it to get access to their farms. Haag noted that today it has grown into a main link between Mt. Lehman and the freeway interchange. She also made particular note of the fact that the unpaved portion of Downes Road is an artery into the most densely populated part of the whole area. She said the portion of the road that has been paved serves a much smaller community. "This decision need not be made by the director of public works, but should be made by this council," said Aid. Doug Taylor after hearing Haag's presentation. He said that "these people" pay the lions share of the road taxes in the area but gather the least benefit. For that statement, Taylor received a round of applause from the packed gallery. In the final outcome, Taylor had a motion supported on council to send the issue to public works for further debate and consideration. CLEARBROOK - Under new legislation from Victoria, developers will be able to avoid paying the full impost or development fees by operating on smaller subdivisions. ' The legislation states that small subdivisions will not be subject to the development taxes. Purpose of the law is to make it possible for people to build their own homes without getting tangled up in tax expenses originally intended for the housing industry* Matsqui council, however, has expressed concern that many professional builders will take unfair advantage by splitting their subdivisions up into small parcels and refusing to pay the normal fees. In a letter to council from the ministry of municipal affairs Monday, council was informed that the government will be keeping a close watch on the situation and will take action to rectify any injustices that might occur. "The municipal act has been an evolutionary piece of legislation," stated the letter. "Doesn't he really mean to say a revolutionary piece of legislation," stated Mayor Harry DeJong as he declared the letter received by council. Cyclist killed at Countyline ALDERGROVE — Dead as the result of a traffic accident on Sunday, October 23 at the corner of 264 Street and 56 Avenue is a 13-year-old girl. Svetlana Jirku, of 26138 - 56 Avenue, was riding her bicycle south on 264 Street when she was struck down by a pickup truck also travelling south. Local RCMP identified the driver of the truck as Kenneth George Mains, also of Aldergrove. The fatal accident is still under police investigation. Svetlana Jirku is survived by her parents Mr. and Mrs. Ludvik Jirku. two sisters Diana and Roxanc (both at home), and her* grandparents in Czechoslovakia. Requiem mass will be celebrated from St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Langley, Friday, October 28 at 10 a.m. The Reverend Father J.C. Kadlec will serve as celebrant.

So catch that serving wench with the golden curls, and order up another round, and make sure the bottle is dusty and expensive. You just don't find very many publishing houses celebrating old age these days, or even Bar Mizvahs. Instead you arc likely to find a publishing industry whose frontier is a barren waste, littered with the mouldering remains of countless young newspapers and magazines, and a few old institutions like the Toronto Telegram, too, It should bc easy to see then, why The Star's survival past the legal age of consent so thoroughly elates us. After all. wc are not just celebrating the 20th birthday of a healthy publication, we are making the second decade of a newspaper that is downright robust. A roving colleague who dropped by our plush offices last week told us that he knows of no other town in B.C. with as much optimism as Aldergrove, and as we gaze at the ornamental attributes of our executive secretary wc realize all that enthusiasm makes newspapering here a very rewarding pursuit. The question is, how do we stage a celebration extravagant enough to announce such a momentous occasion? Pondering that one caused many a wrinkled brow around the staff lounge, and caused some of us to nervously consume more than our normal number of Cuban cigars and fresh hors d'oeuvres. whole community the fabulous life style that an uproariously successful publishing house like our own enjoys. On Thursday, October 27, 1977 our oppulent offices will be thrown open • to everyone ins Aldergrove. lf you have ever bought a copy of an Aldergrove newspaper, or piaccd an ad, or written a letter to the editor or just glanced surreptitiously in our window you are cordially invited to drop in between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. to sample some fine wines and devour an impolite amount of gastronomic offerings. Our place is your place for this event of the year, and we hope you will find your visit a truly inspiring experience in the practise of social graces and conspicuous consumption. For our part, we intend to do everything within our power to make this little get together into the social highlight of the season. We thought that was the sort of party we deserved, by heavens, • and we can't think of anyone we would rather invite than at) of you. We love you all of course, but we do feel obliged to mention a few people who will be considered special guests at our anniversary party. These people include the following: Mrs. Pauline Mcintosh — Mrs. Mcintosh was the co-founder of the newspaper industry in Aldergrove. Back in 1957 when the town was much smaller and a publisher's pay was much lower, Mrs. Mcintosh put her shoulder to the wheel of fortune and started what was to become one of the finest newspapers in the world. The first name was The Aldergrove Herald. She and her family spent many long hours wading through reams of paperwork and setting hot type in molten lead for The Herald. We asked her just how long those Margaret and Norman Green Then one of us shifted in a soft leather armchair and suggested that we throw a party, and that we publish a little story introducing some of the many people whose inky blood has ushered this enterprise through two decades of defeat and glory. EVERYONE IS WELCOME! First task was to plan the shindig, since we are very partial to shindigs. We have decided to set a precedent by sharing with the hours were: "You're swearing at mc. 1 never want to remember those hours. We never had a day off," she replied. Mrs. Mcintosh is a very brave and worldly person who can measure the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat by the events of her own lifetime. We are sure you will all find her company more than exhilarating. Mr. Donald Anson — This gentleman of the Fourth Estate is the statuesque image of a seasoned editor.

It was under the guidance of this man that the paper grew from an embryo publication into "The paper people read". Today he is retired and writes a weekly garden column for this paper and others in the area. He is distinguished in any crowd by his impeccable manners, his huge vocabulary and the eternal cravat at his neck, which we feel sure will come right back into style when everyone sees the kind of gentlemen who wear them. Mr. Anson has the unmistakable appearance of an aristocrat who is feared in the most powerful circles ofthe globe, which indeed, may be the case. We are told he is at this moment winging his way around the capitals of Europe on a little jaunt, so to speak. But we feel sure he will return in time to honor us with his presence at our twentieth anniversary party. Mrs. Margaret Green — Like a spec of the yellow stuff in the bottom of a murky gold pan, some people simply shine through with a sunny brilliance that demands attention. Mrs. Green is one of those people. She started her career in newspaper as one of Mr. Anson's community correspondents but was soon asked to join full time staff, for reasons of her excellent writing prowess. Ma Murray aside, Mrs. Green has the distinction of being one of the first women in the province to take up journalism as a profession. The stories she has to tell about a woman struggling in a man's world are enough to soften the heart of the most devoted male chauvinist. She made her first contribution to the paper in 1957 on October 23rd, a date she rattles off as if it were yesterday, and her stories are still looked forward to even now. "It's easy for me to do reporting, it just comes second nature. I've never lost that nosiness," she says. Mrs. Green is presently preparing material for a book on her experiences as clergy's wife in northern B.C., a life she lived before moving to Aldergrove. We are sure that all our visitors will find Mrs. Green to be one of the most charming and unpretentious ladies they have ever met. Mr. Alfred Flamond — Advertising executives are a breed unto themselves. They are men and women who are always shooting for the top, always after that big account while guarding the ones they already have. The ad man/woman is not just a salesman, he/she is a super-salesman, or else they simply don't survive in that ruthless jungle they call "the ad game". Mr. Flamond is the most seasoned and experienced advertising executive in the Fraser Valley, if not the Lower Mainland. He used to own the paper during the period that it changed its name from The Aldergrove News to The Aldergrove Echo. He and his wife Molly distinguished themselves by taking a paper that was suffering at the time, and keeping it alive for over two years. To this day Mr. Flamond still practises his high pressure trade from the desk of the advertising manager *•; 1 I DOROTHEA KISS Mr. Donald Reimer, President of Century 21 Paris Realty, is pleased to annouce that Dorothea Kiss has joined our office In Aldergrove.

Rudy and Inge have been operating The Aldergrove Star for the last ten years, which is half of the life of the paper. Under their business management and editorial direction it has become one of the most read and talked about weeklies in the Fraser Valley, if not British Columbia. From a paper which often fought for its life amidst the stiffest competition available, The Star has grown into a paper with blanket coverage of the Aldergrove area, plus a sprinkling of readers in places as far away as Europe, South America and southern United States. It is a paper that has good weeks and bad weeks, but it is a paper which always presents something for everyone, and in a time when newspapers often seem bound for early graves that is one heck of a track record to maintain.

OF I Credit Union ^M Complaints fo be investigated LANGLEY — Properly owners in the Willoughby area northwest of here have complained to district council that their wells are running dry, and have blamed the new municipal well at 64 Avenue and 200 Street. Roger LeGentil of 20035 - 64 Ave*, who supplies five neighbors with water from, his well, told council this week that continuous pumping of the municipal well has "caused the water table to drop four feet in our area." LeGentil said that since the district stopped pumping at the well site, some water,has come back but though acceptable for washing is not clean enough for drinking. "We arc all deeply concerned with your future plan of reopening the well, or as was suggested, installing a 12-inch casing in your new well," he said. "We fear if either of these take place, we will lose all hope of maintaining a self-sufficient water system." Aid. Stan Fraser, a well driller in the Willoughby area and chairman of the utilities committee, claimed LeGentil's problem arose at a nearby ready-mix cement plant. "This draws very heavily from the same aquifer," he said. Fraser said the municipality's well drew its water from a much deeper lying aquifer. Aid. Bill Blair said he had received similar complaints from another resident, Fred Lutz, of 20157 - 64 Avenue, who also supplies neighbors with water. Blair said Lutz had told him that he was never short of water before the municipal well was opened. Council decided to have engineering consultants Brown, Erdman and Associates Ltd. investigate whether there could bc a connection between the public well and those owned by the residents in the area. Asked by Mayor George Driediger if this could be possible, municipal engineer Wayne Randall said he would reserve opinion until after the consultants had studied the case. Council also voted in favor of accepting a tender of $27,000 from A. & C. Well Drillers for construction of the Willoughby production well. Drilling is scheduled to start Nov. 17. MSA community services puts out call for help THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1977 Borsatos appreciate trophy attention CLEARBROOK — MSA Community Services, a non-profit community group which provides various social services in this area, got a sympathetic ear but no firm commitment of money when the group visited a council meeting here Monday. A spokesman for the service said the group needs two grants Bossist repents - finds equality in lieu of taxes from the councils of Abbotsford and Matsqui. Each grant would total 13,000 in value, and would provide total relief from land taxes for the association's building. The spokesman said tax relief is necessary if the group wants to meet its mortgage payments this Brady slams guidelines, appeals to Bennett VANCOUVER — The president of the B.C. Teachers' Federation announced Friday he will request a meeting with Premier Bennett over the ehanges in AIB guidelines made by the federal government last week. Pat Brady, called the changes a betrayal of teachers and says he will urge the provincial government to re-examine its decision to place B.C. workers under the federal anti-inflation program because the rules have been arbitrarily changed by the federal government. Brady says that when Prime Minister Trudeau introduced the anti-inflation guidelines in October 1975, he promised '''at if the control program did not reduce the cost of living, appropriate adjustments would be made in third year salary guideline figures. "Last week's announcement by Finance Minister Jean Chretien is an admission that the government has failed to control prices, therefore wage increases wilt be held to 6 percent - a full 2.4 percent less than the current annual increase in the cost of living." Brady reports that teachers had a guideline figure for 1978 of 8.4 percent, "until this blatantly unfair and inequitable move by the federal government... It will alienate teachers, most of whom could have accepted the need for an equitable program to control inflation. "Until this unwanted intrusion by the federal government, local salary bargaining for 1978 contracts was proceeding smoothly. Now we don't know what will happen. "The premier should either get the federal government to honor its original promise or immediately remove B.C. from the anti- inflation program," says Brady. By ARTHUR HOPPE Having achieved middle age despite the vicissitudes of the past several decades, Lawrence Liberal was pardonably proud of the negative distinctions he had achieved. He was not a racist (some of his best friends were blacks); he was not a sexist (some of his best friends were persons of the female persuassion); nor was he an agcist (some of his best friends were his parents). He was therefore somewhat surprised by the reaction of his secretary. Miss Grenadine (or, as he tried to remember to call her lately, Ms. Grenadine) when he said to her the other morning: "Take a letter. Ms. Grenadine." "The trouble with you," said Ms. Grenadine, fingering a new button on her blouse which read, "Workers' Lib." and eyeing him disdainfully, "is that you're a bossist." * * * "But you're supposed to take letters," said Liberal, "you're my secretary." "First of all, I'm not your anything," said Ms. Grenadine. "That conotes possession. And 'secretary' is a demeaning term typical of a bossist chauvinist pig mentality. Next you'll be calling me your girl!" "I'd never!" said Liberal, shocked. "Would you prefer 'assistant?" " 'Associate' would be the only acceptable title," said Ms. Grenadine with a sniff, "if you truly believe in equality." "I do!" cried Liberal. "1 do!" "Doyou realize I'm a bossist?" he said glumly to his wife that evening. "Why, none of my best friends is a sec ... an associate." "And let's keep it that way," said Mrs. Liberal suspiciously. But Liberal, guilt-ridden, did his best to make amends for his past bossist chauvinist piggism. He took to grabbing the phone before Ms. Grenadine could answer it. "Grenadine and Liberal, Associates," he would announce. Naturally, he stopped dictating letters — dictation being obviously the ultimate in bossism. Nor did he ask Ms. Grenadine to type, fearing she would think he just wanted her for her fingers. He had some troubles with the other employees, such as the office (formerly) boy. "Office associate," he would say, "would you please send a messenger associate to the stock room associate for letterheads while I go down and get you coffee?" * * * While his associates eyed him strangely, he answered the phone ran errands and crudely typed letters, falling further and further behind in his work. Finally, old Mr. Mudge called him on the carpet. "Don't worry, fellow associate," said Liberal proudly. "1 am not only no longer a racist, a sexist or an ageist, I am also no longer a bossist." "That's right," said Mudge. "Mainly because you're fired." * * * Ms. Grenadine took over Liberal's job. (And a petty tyrant she is too). But Liberal's happy. He's now a hermit in a cave in the Andes, seeing no one. "At last," he says to himself daily, "I've found the key to true equality." year. Their building is located on the Abbotsford-Matsqui border' on the Abbotsford side. Among the services provided by MSA Community Services are: day care facilities, children's aid, legal aid, assistance in various ways to pensioners and volunteer bureau. In addition the group does a lot of work with the handicapped and operates thrift stores for low income families. Alderperson Chris Lamb, told the delegation to council that each district in B.C. is assessed 45 cents per capita for expenses to the human resources department, and she said that money needed by the MSA Community Services should, therefore, be provided by the ministry. "Even a lot of people in the community are not aware the councils are assessed this 45 cents per capita," she stated. The spokesman repeated, however, that money was not forth coming from Victoria and he explained that without some tax relief the group would be facing a bad financial situation. lt was then revealed that the main problem with granting a tax exemption is in getting the two councils to agree to it. Matsqui has a policy of tax relief for non-profit associations doing charitable work, but Abbotsford does not. In Matsqui there are presently 12 or 13 such tax exempt bodies, but in Abbotsford there arc none. Aid. Doug Taylor suggested the two council discuss the possibility of a tax exemption at their next joint meeting. "Hopefully we will be able to come to some solution to solve the problem," stated mayor Harry DeJong of Taylor's proposal. Council voted to send the matter to the table of the next Abbotsford-Matsqui joint council meeting for debate. ALDERGROVE— Bob Ledbrook. a public relations spokesman for the Langley Borsato's Soccer Club said Tuesday that the club is extremely appreciative of T.B. Trophies of Langley. The trophy firm has been giving away a free trophy at each home game the team has played. to the most valuable plaver on the field. Ledbrook estimates the trophy value to be at about $20 per game. The competition is known as the "Man of the Match" and the trophies are all engraved with the player's name, and the date on which he earned the laurel for his mantel piece. Tom Bumgarner, the owner of T.B. Trophies presents each one at the fietdside of each game. So far- the team members have received seven "Man of the Match" trophies. A tentative schedule shows that the team will play about 20 games before the year ends. Last year the Borsato's finished second overall in the Fraser Valley senior men's soccer league, ranking onlv behind White Rock. This year they top the league to date with a total of 13 points.

They are there because it has become the 'in' thing to do or because college is a pleasant place to be; because its the only way they can get parents or taxpayers to support them without working at a job they don't like; because mother want- Shafted! By JEAN BRYSON Shafted again, but by whom? In theatrical usage, a tragedy is a play in which the hero, gifted with all virtues is nevertheless afflicted with a fatal flaw leading to his downfall. Is it true that the Canadian character has a fatal flaw? If so, what is it? For example, our ventures into joint projects with our monster-neighbor, the good ol' U.S. of A, has found us many times bearing additional financial burdens every time we've set out to do a good work. The Columbia River project is one, the St. Lawrence Seaway for another; now we are adding to our burgeoning financial martyrdom with the Alaska pipeline. There was gleeful rubbing of hands in anticipation of jobs, money, contracts and so forth, when Papa Pierre went to see Big Uncle Jimmy. A "bargain" had been driven, so Uncle Jimmy said, and we (Canadians) knew how to drive a hard one. Uncle Jimmy was all smiles, totally out of proportion to the bargain we were supposed to have driven, while Papa looked unduly modest; in fact he looked unhappy. Now the truth is out! How naive can we get? Where do we think that preferential treatment is ours just for the asking? Why did we not anticipate the intense lobbying by Texas oil interests and the unheard-of, in fact, ungentlemanly proposal that a 48" pipeline ought to be used. Didn't they know we couldn't produce anything like that? You bet they did. Not only that, we precious guardians of the True North Strong and Free didn't have money or even daring foresight to borrow money in anticipation of such scoundrelly tactics. Now we find we'll be lucky to get our own section built. No wonder Papa looked unhappyl What has this to do with a "fatal" flaw. Just this — we still think and act like colonials. Isn't it .about time we did without figurehead Mommies and Daddies and grew up? Can't we at least tuck In our belts, say "no thank you" to others who want to take over our natural resources; and start showing some faith in our own ability to face hard going? Canadians are the best fighters in the world. Let's show what we're made of. If we don't fight now, we shall contribute to our own downfall. What's the headline say, dad?" ed them to go, or some other reason entirely irrelevant to the course of studies for which college is supposedly organized." The previous statement appeared in the May. '75 issue of Psychology Today, under the title "College is a Waste of Time and Money", by Caroline Bird, author ofthe books "The Invisible Scar', 'Crowding Syndrome,' and 'Born Female". Is college a waste of time and money? Do young people use this institution negatively? Are there family pressures exerted on secondary students to go. even if they do not want to go? These questions arc very serious and have severe implications, especially to those senior high students planning post secondary education and their immediate family. Professors and administrators of the college campus agree that 25 percent of the students attending arc there to learn, while the rest use the college as a social centre or 'young folks home' that keeps them out of the economic mainstream of life for a longer period of time. Colleges now try selling themselves to potential students to attract more business. This advertising came about after the last of the'postwar baby boom had graduated. The huge institutions built to handle that amount of young people are now lacking enough students. This drop of income constitutes the advertising and the liberal environment that now exists in a large number of colleges. Even with the passive liberal stance taken by many higher education establishments after the riotous '60's. college students are still discontent. The protest though, is not voiced by all at one given moment, but by solitary individuals. Many young people spend years in college only to find after they have achieved the highest honors that they cannot find jobs. They have been led to believe that if you go to college you get a good job. But that has been shown not to bc true in every case, and many students become depressed. "... lf'we care what happens to students after college, then let's get involved with what should bc one of the basic purposes of education: career preparation." (John Shingleton, Michigan State Univ.) College docs not make people intelligent, amibitious, happy or liberal, colleges draw people of that nature; learning experience comes mainly from jobs, friends, history or the passing time rather than college; and a college diploma no longer opens as many vocational doors. Employers are realizing they're paying for an empty credential. So what to do? Either go to coltege with a clear goal in mind, have a job set up before you enter, or go to college just for the learning experience. But do not go if you do not fee] you should, especially if you're feeling pressured into it. Be sure that that is what you want, lf you go under pressure, college could become a very negative experience and create problems in your future. You make the choice don't let someone else. Letters to the Editor "Insensitive, unreasonable" Winston Churchill saw the madness Editor. The Star. Sir, Those of us who live in the township of Langley have a serious problem at the moment in the form of a mayor and council who feet they can act according to their personal views even though they may be contrary to expressions of public interest. Worse, the mayor and some of his council express their views with such arrogance that the very citizens they are elected to serve are often subjected to abuse and humiliation when appearing in council chambers on legitimate business. Such was the experience of the undersigned recently as we heard council's response to a proposal concerning the construction of an indoor pool and recreation centre for Langley. Wc must accept council's decision to not place a bylaw before the voters next month to approve the borrowing of funds to build such a facility. Their reasons, however, we cannot accept: INSUFFICIENT TIME TO PREPARE FOR A BYLAW. At the time our proposal was made (8 August, 1977) there was ample time to verify costs and prepare additional information on off-site servicing. As recently as September 12 the city council and their staff felt there was sufficient time to prepare a bylaw for a November vote which would satisfy all the requirements of the municipal act. The township council must operate within the same act as other municipalities in the province which have prepared money bylaws for similar projects with similar time constraints and even less information than that which is available to our council. Catch disappearing land Editor, The Star, Sir, Obviously the Aldergrove Star is in favor of the industrial complex plan in northern Aldergrove. by the coverage it has received. It appears that we have in our community, a super salesperson, or promotor may be more appropriate. This promotor may penetrate the thin line of defence protecting a unique community and farming area. If the would be industrial breaches the line, others will follow, and alas, we will be over turned into a Surrey, Burnaby or Vancouver. Those are the places most moved from, are they not? These modern municipalities may have higher crime, more schools, larger sewage and water systems, wider roads, but also higher taxes to pay for them. There's always some Island, or interior land left, but be prepared for high prices, and poor employment situations in these areas. Contrary to Gary Chambers confusing article, 1 moved to this area by choice, as most others did. One hour's drive from a large metropolitan area, yet still surrounded by smaller communities with towns that served residents well. I think as many other do, country or rural living like this, is hard to find, very beneficial to all ages, with an excellent base for raising a family.

Postage paid in Aldergrove, B.C. COSTS NOT REALISTIC. The costs provided by our committee were based upon the costs for similar facilities constructed recently in other lower mainland communities. They are realistic. A few weeks ago, the municipality of Richmond opened its new Minoru aquatic centre at a total cost of $1.88-million, Tsawwas- sen-Delta opened a centre last January costing $1.4-million. The township was asked to determine the off-site servicing costs which they estimated to be Sl-million. This figure is not realistic, but a gross exaggeration of real costs which Mayor Driediger used to attempt to discredit the committee's proposal. The mayor also made much of the point that the pool would operate at a $100,000 annual deficit. We did explain how this deficit could be substantially reduced, but it is true that most publically operated pools have a deficit. However, this 'deficit' would go to provide all the people of Langley a public facility of which we could be proud and enjoy year round. In contrast, we wonder if the mayor considered the effects of the council's recent pay increase on the 'out of work taxpayer, those on low incomes, and the senior citizens' for whom he expressed so much concern when misrepresenting the pool proposal in his public statements. Along with our children these are the groups which benefit most from public recreation facilities. A BURDEN ON THE OUT OF WORK TAXPAYER. Many ofthe unemployed taxpayers in Langley are in the construction trades. A $2-million capital project would create construction jobs for many months. Once completed other types of jobs would be created to operate and maintain the facility. A POLITICAL 'PUSH'. Council labelled our effects as nothing more than a political 'push' by a group of 'well to do' citizens representing a small, special interest. Surely council can appreciate that 'well to do' people can afford their own pools or have access to the recreational facilities they require. It is precisely the low and fixed income group which stands to benefit most from what is being proposed by giving them recreational facilities they can afford. Their children would be provided with programs teaching water safety and an opportunity for year round, healthy exercise. The 1500 signatures we have obtained attest to the fact that support for the indoor pool and recreational centre is widespread. TAX INCREASE NOT AFFORDABLE. The tax increase which would result from the constrution of the proposed facility is not what Mayor Driediger would tike you to believe. He complains that his own taxes 'Letters1 page 5 Editor. The Star, Sir, It was refreshing to read in your letters column that G. Mclvor has pointed out a problem that the majority of people seem blind to. He is bang on when he states that it is population that causes high land prices. Where population is scanty, land is low-priced. In the great cities of the world it is at its highest, - tens of millions of dollars per acre. Take a centiday and read this Editor, The Star, Sir, I would like to welcome the arrival of the metric system with one or two generous extracts from a "government" announcement on the public service converting to metric time. I trust you will agree it makes as much sense as anything else in this metrication business. "There will be 10 seconds to the minute, 10 minutes to the hour, 10 hours to the day, and so on, delineated according to the following table: Old Time New Time 1 second 1 milliday 1 minute 1 centiday 1 hour 1 deciday (or millimonth) 1 day lday 1 week 1 decaday 1 month 1 hectoday lyear 1 kiloday "Due to the fact that one hour (deciday) represents 5/12ths of an old one, staff might be expected to work longer hours, viz: 3'/z decidays or millimonths per day. However, as this is inconvenient for administration and payroll purposes, it is intend* ed that the luncheon break will be shortened by Vj or a new hour, thus making total daily working time of four new hours. "It is not expected at this time that adjustments will be made to salaries except in the case of leap kilodays, where an adjustment will be made at the end of the hectoday every 1.46 decamonths. Overtime meal vouchers will be issued to non-management hecto daily casual employees for the time worked in excess of 5/6ths of a deciday, provided approval from Treasury Board has been obtained beforehand. "Superannuation will not be affected but superkilodayuation Support appreciated Editor, The Star, Sir, I have been instructed by the directors ofthe Langley Community Music School, to express to you their sincere thanks for the support you have given the school, during the past year. Publicity is an invaluable aid in making many of the music school activities successful and we appreciate very much your generosity in this regard. Yours very sincerely, LANGLEY COMMUNITY MUSIC SCHOOL Patricia Mugridgc, Administrator will be adjusted accordingly. "Vacation will be affected only so far as the change to metric time is concerned and no one shall be worse off then previously. Thus if an - employee was entitled to 22 days (old time) he will now be entitled to 220 decidays or one hectoday plus 20 decidays for every hectoday over and above 20 kilodays service since the 10th deciday of the 3rd hectoday of 1954. The Queen's Birthday will accordingly be reduced to five decidays but 10 demidecidays will be added where relevant to the Christmas break which will be moved, after 27 hectodays, to the Easter Holidays to take advantage of the longer shopping decidays. The term 'a month of Sundays' is not to be used on official documents. The correct term will be 'a hectoday of Decidays'. The application of these rules to coffee breaks remains to be determined. "The French version of this announcement will follow." "PERPLEXED" 100 Mile House Unfortunately, few people see the logical application of this phenomenon, and so title-holders who, as such, do nothing to make the land valuable, only have to wait to be made rich by the public presence and activity around. However, in' nature, there is no such thing as something for nothing. The unearned wealth that land speculators gain is the earned wealth that J.Q. Public loses. Profits of land speculation are only legalised theft. We stupid folk pay taxes to provide schools, and the schools increase the rake-off of the title holder. Our taxes provide a multitude of services, each one adding to the "windfall" booty. Winston S. Churchill in 1909 saw the madness of this when he stated: "and yet by every one of them the value of his land is sensibly enhanced. He renders no service to the community, he contributes nothing to the general welfare; he contributes nothing even to the process from which his own enrichment is derived. If the land were occupied by shops or dwellings, the municipality at least would secure the taxes upon them in aid of the general fund, but the land may be unoccupied, undeveloped, it may bc what is called "ripening" - ripening at the expense of the whole city, of the whole country, for the unearned increment of its owner." Around five years ago, I did a study of Langley municipality, estimating the total land value at $100*million which would give us an annual income of $10-million. Only a small fraction of this went into municipal coffers. Today, the annual income attaching to land in Langley must be in the region of $20-miilion. lt is time that wc had the sense to collect this. The price of homesites would drop to almost zero (Twenty years ago, people built an $8,000 house on a $800 lot. a ratio of ten to one. Today they built a $30,000 house on a $30,000 lot, a ratio of one to one). The price of all other land would correspondingly slump. If wc consider what the public collection of the publicly created land revenue would do for the construction industry, and then apply the same principle to all industry, - for there is no form of enterprise or even bare existence, that does not use land, ■ it is easy to see that the unemployment problem would be solved overnight. Thank you, G. Mclvor, for pointing out facts that are so obvious that our anthropomorphous ostriches in city hall, Victoria, and Ottawa fail to see them. ERNIE BRYAN 25805 Fraser Highway, Aldergrove Stump farmers wanted Editor, The Star. Sir, So many people, young and old are taking an interest in the old pioneering days, that I thought it a good idea to try and collect pictures from stump farming in the Fraser Valley. If 1 am able to collect sufficient 1 will present them to a museum or attempt to publish them. Today everywhere you go there are shopping centres, townhouses, apartment blocks, schools, fire- halls, community centres, paved roads, traffic and everywhere cars and more cars. It is not all that long ago that only the bcnchland was logged off stump land but most farms in the Fraser Valley had some mighty big stumps.

EBEKOEPPEN 7580 -202A Street, Langley He's had his fill Editor. The Star, Sir, I have kept quiet long enough, as a citizen, parent and concerned resident of Langley. For the past year or so, I have been following the so called "issues" in our local newspaper. This has caused me to realize that all of this mud slinging and backbiting has kept us from seeing the "forest for the trees." How can we as parents stand by day after day, and year after year watching our entire educational system digress before us, and yet still .claim the "three monkey's attitudes." A person can only take so much, then is forced to face the real facts. It fascinates me how we neglect to give them audience when we are so busy protecting our personal opinions and motivations. However, they remain all the same. The entire world is joined in a universal cry of help, as you will see as you read the enclosed article taken from a recent edition of the Vancouver Sun. I hope that you will do a re-print of this, as I feel that it will clear the Langley fog. I am very happy to say that I support the efforts of the present school board, and that despite the onslaught of ridicule, has taken giant steps toward better fundamental education. My children are the proof of their efforts. Thank you for this opportunity. LOREN MALUORNO (Ed's note: Please turn to educational page for article written by Bill Peterson of the Washington Post).

THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1977 ...AT DEADLINE Rudy Langmann Let's get down to basics. With less than a month to go, the municipal election scene on November 19 is shaping up as the biggest non-event since Pierre Elliott Trudeau last called for national unity. What a shame should there be positions filled by acclamation, and yet that might just happen. And what further shame should any of the incumbents run for office on nothing but their good name, their long list of community involvement and their record, instead of raising issues. The way it has been done over and over in the past. There are plenty of issues for whoever wants to look. Let's just take a small slice of lower mainland events during the past six-or-so months and see what we can come up with. Of great importance to the Aldergrove area is — whether approved or not — the proposed industrial centre at north County Line. Yet politicians and would be politicians on the municipal and regional level seem to be traipsing around the issue like Tiny Tim through his tulips. A lot of whispering about the Loretto- Gloucester proposal is going on, but most of the aspiring leaders seem to be afraid to come out and say cither aye or nay. lf you like the proposal or you don't, make a point of asking your candidates how they feel about it. There is the proposed recreational aquatics centre, in two versions. One is brought to you by the Aldergrove Recreation Centre association and roughly outlined as a community self-help project to be developed without digging further into the taxpayer's pockets. The other, courtesy of the Langley Recreation Centre Committee, is asking how you as a taxpayer would like to finance a $2-million-plus covered swimming pool. Again, regardless of how you feel toward the two different but in many ways similar proposals, ask where your candidate stands. And then, of course, there is the constant bickering and back- stabbing going on between individual politicians and groups of same; arguing for or against amalgamation and calling each other names which — if used in all seriousness by you or I — would bring the immediate descend of at least two dozen libel lawyers. People just do not get along, and politicians, strange as it may sound, are people too. But to think that they would communicate with less friction by an amalgamated conglomeration of existing municipalities — such as the two Langleys and the districts of Matsqui and Abbotsford — why, that's nothing short of day dreaming. This is not to say that we couldn't get along with less government; but let us trim the top heavy portion and retain the level which is closest to the people, where you and I can still keep tab on the turkeys. Ask your candidate how he feels about leaving local government where it belongs; close to the people whom it was originally meant to serve. And ask him how he would like to try to get along reasonably amicably with his peers and at the same time sort out the chaff from his own creation: the local branch of the Canadian super bureaucracy. Ask him all of these questions and more. The answers will be your guide as to where you will place your X on November 19. We are sure that you give neither a hoot nor a holler about the candidate's past record. To get our vote in 1977 we'll want to know what he or she intends to do for us in the future. If he feels contend to bask in former glory, or perchance dares stand up on the hustings and pledge himself to get our town and our district moving. » * » Had my laugh of the week the other day when 1 heard the honorable Grace Mary McCarthy expand upon how people from Florida and Texas flock in droves to B.C. in order to partake in our ancient annual ritual of the rain dance. According to Grace with the perfect smile, they just cannot stay away. They have to spend their holidays in beautiful British Columbia while the monsoon is blowing. Ah well, sometimes our throats feel as parched as the Arizona desert. And we don't even have to move across the 49th parallel in order to get that feeling. Grace, you've sold me. Now it only remains to convince those Palm Springs refugees that we have a special smile for them when they arrive here in late October wearing their Hawaiian shirts and suntan lotion. Lumber goes up Last April in Miami, lumber dealers were paying $6.40 for a sheet of half-inch plywood. The price today is S8.83 and climbing. This is driving the cost of housing beyond the ability of most South Florida families to pay. And nationally the picture is the same. Sen. William Proxmire will hold hearings to find out why this is happening with lumber prices because he says the increases are threatening one of the healthiest industries. Nothing stimulates a local economy faster than homebuild- ing and remodeling. But with a 35 percent increase in lumber prices in the last six months, fewer people can afford a new house or afford to fix up an old one. -The Miami Herald betters to the Editor Taxes up $44 Continued bom page 4 would increase (in the worst way) by S81 per year, but fails to reveal that his assessed property value is $21,000. The average assessment in Langley is $7,000 which would mean a tax increase of only $27 which again is a worst case figure arising only if the township were to go it alone on the project. By cost sharing with the provin- ; cial government and their local * school district the citizens of Richmond were required to pay through general property taxation less than half of the $1.88*million cost of the Minora aquatic centre. (Ed. note: According to municipal treasurer Larry Cruikshank the ' average homeowner's taxes would' be upped by $43.84 brought on by a four-mill increase occasioned by the building of a ■ $2-million recreational facility as. ! proposed). WATER, SIDEWALKS AND SEWERS NEEDED BEFORE POOLS. All these things are needed in Langley, but we have allowed the development of recreational facilities to fall far behind the development of other public facilities. To appreciate how deficient we are in this respect, one only has to visit any ' of our neighboring municipalities. If the township council were , sincerely interested in the welfare of our < community it would acknowledge the expression of need for more recreational facilities which has been documented in our proposal and then place the matter before the voters as soon as possible. It is an insensitive council indeed which chooses to ignore the wishes of 1,500 citizens, particularly when the mayor and his alderman were elected to office by fewer than 2,600 voters. We feel the people of Langley should be aware of this council's behavior. Their attitude toward our proposal apparently has little to do with a reasoned assessment of its merit in connection with the recreational needs of the community. We believe that the majority of Langley residents feel as we do; that we need a council which consistently functions in the community interest if we wish to see Langley develop into a community which provides well for all its citizens. Yours sincerely, LANGLEY RECREATION CENTRE COMMITTEE Ross Jewel (chairman) Ernie Anderson Bev Holm Andy Milne Ron Moore Wendy Neumann Ernie Phelps John Pybus Bob Thompson Ted Trevor-Smith . About Johnny There's been a lot said about standards In education over the past few years, and the battle's not over yet. It seems everyone is interested in standards and in returning to the "basics", the good, solid readin', ritin' and 'rlthmitic of years ago. Only this way, they argue, can schools produce graduates that can read and write and multiply fractions. Parent's meetings, CORE curriculum, articles decrying graduate student's deficiencies and study groups have all been part of the search for standards in the school. But while returning to basics, we should remember that the students who graduated from the readin', 'ritin and 'rithmetic schools lived In a different society and, if we want to duplicate their success, we'll have to adopt some of their standards. If we are going to establish standards of academic achievement in the schools, and stick to them, it then follows that students who do not meet the standards will fail. Will Johnny's parents, who say they believe there should be standards, still feel that way in June when Johnny fails because he has not met those standards? Assuming that Johnny's parents are concerned about their son's education, what are they willing to do to make sure he reaches the required standards? Do Johnny's parents have the fortitude to turn of the T.V. set and to see that Johnny is In bed by 9:00 p.m. so he will be wide awake in school? Will Johnny's parents get themselves and Johnny up in time for a good breakfast before going to school, aware that poor performance In school Is often traced back to poor nutrition? Does Johnny have a study area in the home, free from the distraction of television, radio and stereo so he can work undisturbed? Do Johnny's parents provide reference books, such as a set of encyclopedias, a dictionary and a thesaurus, to help Johnny with his work? If Johnny doesn't read, do his parents encourage him to try by supplying Interesting books written at his age level? If Johnny does have a problem with his work, are his parents willing to take the time to visit the school and Johnny's teacher to see how Johnny could be helped? Are Johnny's parents willing to look at poor grades as a sign their son is not meeting the standards, Instead of as a plot against their family by teachers or school? Do Johnny's parents keep in close enough contact with their son and the school so they have an idea what he is doing and how it should be done? Do they show an interest in his schoolwork? Do Johnny's parents pay attention to the issue and the candidates so they can vote intelligently when the school board is elected. Are they willing to attend school board meetings when important issues are being discussed? Although the board does not work directly with Johnny, the trustees decide which priorities to set when allocating money for the schools and Influence the type of teacher hired. And speaking of influence, do Johnny's parents place a high value on, learning, praising Johnny for accomplishments in school as highly es they'd praise any success their son had? Do Johnny's parents like to learn? , -Cariboo Observer Ah, woman Here's to woman I Would that we could fall into her arms without falling Into her hands. —Ambrose Bierce we have comfort for you this winter that will save you money Thermo conversion units installed into your existing frames No Fuss No Muss Inside Storm Windows CALL NOW FOR YOUR ESTIMATE.

There is only one ship on this wharf and it is surprisingly quiet and dark for a vessel about to leave port. Only a skeleton crew of men are at work on the quayside, casting off lines in silence to allow the huge metal hull to drift away from its mooring.

The ship's owners would prefer if nobody even knew the ship was going to sea. Meanwhile, at another dock not very far away, a second ship is coming to life amidst the clang of bells and the scuffle of feet. This ship is acting on an anonymous tip over the ship-to-shore radio, informing the captain that the first ship is sailing out of the bay into open sea. With the dispatch of a well oiled machine the bridge of the second ship lights up and huge engines churn to a start in the hull. In minutes this ship too is casting off lines and heading out in persuit of its foe. So begins one of the saddest human tragedies of our times. drift into fog patches, run in circles and do anything else it can to elude the enemy in its wake. When the game of cat and mouse ends, however, it will culminate in a bloody battle of brains, courage and skill. The first ship will drop anchor in the middle of the north Pacific and start a series of coded communications with the owners in Tokyo, and then just before daybreak the message the captain awaits will come through. "The commission executive met throughout the evening and has decided to go ahead as previously planned," says the Tokyo radio operator. The ship's radio man will run the message to the skipper's cabin where the ship's master will take the note in hand and add it to a pile of similar communications received throughout the evening. He'll be irate and tired, for he a coat and cap; men feel no need to pretend they are someting they are not. Then the captain will wearily climb to the bridge to oversee his vessel and crew during the first day of the bloodbath.

It is a close knit family. These are intelligent people who understand their survivial depends upon one another. They are not known to engage in violence against each other or against other living creatures. These people are known as cetaceans. They breathe air and live in salt water and have the largest brains on earth, averaging six times the mass of any human brain. The "silent" area of the brain, the area where thought takes place and the area that scientists say gives human beings their human qualities, is also present in the brains ofthe cetaceans only to a much greater degree. There is evidence that cetaceans might be much wiser people than the human beings who come to the north Pacific to hunt them down and kill them. Cetaceans, who are exterminated in a most thoughtless and brutal fashion by mankind, are well known for the kindness and hospitality they display when confronted by man in their own element. that they do for their own young. Whales are basically humanitarian creatures who shy away from needless destruction and, in fact, often seem to reach out for friendship with other species. There is no proof that whales are not Christians. There is no proof that the massive and compassionate brain of the whale has never communicated with God. There is no proof that whales are any less endowed of principles, integrity and love than human beings. There is evidence, however, that whales might be even more religiously passive by nature than humans. Yet the drama continues. The whaling ship, using electronic equipment to find and track the whales, has located the very last family of cetaceans and is lying in ambush. Now the second ship, the pursuit vessel, is also swinging into action. A rubber raft with outboard power is lowered into the water and three crew members climb in. The raft heads for a point between the whale pod and the whaler's ship. Before long the rubber craft is skimming along the ocean surface with the cetaceans, and the raft crew is experiencing the kindness of whale that-will soon die. Inspite of the old whale's size and strength it should perhaps feel threatened by the strange boat, yet it does not tip the boat nor harm its occupants. Instead he swims with the boat, treating it like another whale; like a guest in a cetacean household. The large ship soon looms in front of the pod and the vicious plot thickens. A harpoon is aimed at the old whale like the rifle in a penny arcade shooting gallery, and the rubber dingy operator man- ouveres his raft between (he two in direct line of fire. The harpoonist mutters obscenities as the raft slips and slides, staying between the whale and the harpoon. The game goes on for some minutes until at last the harpoonist finds a split second in which he can fire over the heads of the Greenpeace rafters at the whale. With a thundering explosion the deadly projectile flics, crash ing over the heads of the" Greenpcacers. Everyone in the boat is deafened by the boom of the harpoon, but their pain is not as intense as the whale's. Just above the flipper the blade, tears deep into cetacean flesh.

All they know is that last prayer of faint hope as the bullets plunge into their brains. This is the same kind of experience the cetacean family goes through, except they have brains six times the size of the people in the prairie farmhouse. Perhaps their last prayer is six times as full of hope and faith, and perhaps it is viewed with six times the sympathy in the heavens. * Does God love whales more than people these days? The fact is that the whale is now an endanged species. Recent Figures reveal that if hunting continues yearly as it does now, the sperm whale will.vanish from mother earth inabout five years. Only the harpoon will survive. The largely unregulated destruction of whales is one of the most shameful and self destructive sins on the face of the planet. Il is nothing short of genocide. We sit quietly in our living rooms and contemplate our color Iv's while the whalers of Japan and Russia practise their evil chicanery on another society. The whale is not just another animal. There is evidence that the cetacean is as civilized and intelligent as a human being, perhaps even more so. True they do not speak our language, but then we don't speak theirs either. Could it be that it is because our brains are only one sixth the size of a whale's that we find compassion and shame so hard to swallow? Regardless, it remains that a Greenpeace anti-whaling expedition costs almost $100 thousand. Today Greenpeace is $176 thousand into the red side of the ledger.

CALL 856*8303 By GREG THOMAS ALDERGROVE — Among the four school board candidates composing the 'Basics Bunch' slate that aims to preserve the educational status quo at the local school board office is a relative unknown in the pundit's Who's who of local politicians who annually do battle for control of the biggest industry in the locale, and the most controversial one. Loren Maluorno. his name alone a formidable challenge to a political career, has, at 29, had little exposure to the district's educational debate, little exposure to many of the issues that have dogged the incumbent school board, little exposure to the infighting between rank and file teachers and administration that has given the district a marked morale problem. He is a self admitted neophyte. "When I filed my nomination papers," recalled Maluorno at his 2'/. acre spread in Aldergrove, "the stipulations for the office were made very clear. You had to be 19 years of age. You had to be a citizen. And you had to be sane." "Now 1 realize that anybody that runs for school trustee must be insane." By independent examination, .one would tend to agree with the young hopeful, A marketing manager for Copytron, the company whose line of products has taken the market from the vaunted Xerox collection in recent years, Maluorno has been recognized as the firm's world wide top salesman. Not short on ego, Maluorno combines that distinction with the figures that show the parent film, Nashua Corporation of Nashua, New Hampshire 47 percent - 27' percent leaders over their nearest compctitior, Xerox, for the biggest share of the world market, to award himself the title of world's top selling copier salesman. Lest he be overcome with this heady mantle, he hopes now to capture a position that pays $2,000 per annum and demands more than 30 hours a week. Add to this family responsibilities. Maluorno has a wife, Dianne, two girls, Alisha' 7, and Bethany S, attending Parkside elementary in Aldergrove, two ducks', a rabbit, a' cat, and a Doberman Pinscher.

Maluorno met trustee David Bell, a man linked closely to the Basics movement, to inquire about the board's policies. When he again met Bell a few months later to voice his concern over what he considered a vague system of reporting at Parkside elementary, and a lack of concern for his daughter's slow progress in arithmetic and reading there, the board's "strong man" - troika of Bell, Westwood, and Fassbender became interested. Largely through the efforts of Westwood, who is virtually guaranteed re-election as a Langley district trustee this year, he joined the slate that includes Loren Maluorno former board chairman Dr. Fred Ceresney, alternate pre-school organizer Marni Robertson, and Westwood himself. Westwood says the neophyte would be a big asset to the school board, and he intends to use the clout he has gained with the large fundamentalist voiting bloc in Langley to see him elected. "1 could have easily run on my own." he admits. "I'm confident I'm going to win, but that wouldn't get good people to run." Fassbender, a close associate of Westwood's who was present at the slate's inaugural meeting insists he'isn't supporting any candidate-for the empty board positions, while retiring trustee Ed Klassen of Aldergrove supports the slate's membership as "good candidates, and applies the same description to Maluorno. Ceresney, a very well read medical doctor from Langley city who will contest the position left vacant by Westwood this year in a i pre-election shuffle, says the young man from Aldergrove impressed him as "a very sweet young thing." "He's very competent and he seems to have a very earnest desire to accomplish something," he added. Marni Robertson, a zealous individual with a well established reputation as a fundamentalist in Langley, said she and Maluorno have found sympathetic listeners in one another. "It was really quite fascinating," she said after their first meeting. "We had never met before and we came from different parts of Langley." Maluorno's background is the proverbial Horatio Alger story. Born September 12, 1948 in Victoria, young Loren lived in most parts of British Columbia before he was old enough to remember them. At age 10, he was sent to a foster home in the farming area of Westbank, the unwitting victim of a broken marriage. It was there, under' the strict guidance of a Christian family that he grew to like the rural life, and developed religious beliefs he still has today. A non smoker and virtual non-drinker, his breaches of total abstinence exist in the occassional sip of wine at the dinner table. Back at home to face a new father, his fate took another twist as he found himself unable to adjust to the situation, and leaving home. Since age 14, he supported himself. Through correspondence courses, he finsihed junior high school by age 19, going to Penticton to finish his schooling only to find that he could not give it the time it deserved on his meagre earnings as an advertising salesman for the Penticton Herald. As he developed a sales reputation in a lower mainland convenience store chain, and later with a stereo-television outlet, he finished his education. Today, he approaches the challenge of the upcoming campaign with the brash manner of the self made man, a manner he clings to somewhat precociously. "I'm a businessman, I love it, I love the challenge," he clamors. "I've won all the awards there is to win. all the radar ranges, all the television sets." He hints that he could be the recipient of a new car as a result of a contest ending in November. He adds that the school district, with a budget of $22.5-million, is Langley's biggest business. "At least some ofthe members must have some business experience." He views as his contribution to the humanitarian side of education the time he spent as a volunteer worker with a child care development center on Vancouver Island. His platform is not markedly different from that espoused by winning fundamentalist candidates last year. More as a marketing agent then a humanitarian, Maluorno coined the term "Forward with basics" to replace "back to basics" as the battle cry of the Basics Bunch this election on the grounds that Langley has already recaptured the elusive basics. "It's like a bunch of people adrift in a balloon saying 'we patched the hole, we patched the hole, we patched the hole," he said, using cynicism gleaned from his days with the daily Penticton Herald. A professed believer in innovative education, he says he will work to expand opportunities beyond the basics in education, but he compares immediate emphasis on other goals to adding rooms on a house with no basement. Maluorno also professes a deep interest in the plight of both gifted and learning disabled children, two minorities often shunted to the side by harried educators more concerned with teaching to the mythical average child. He sees extra curricular activities for bright children as a solution to their problems, enabling them to share a teacher with their less talented classmates and set "standards of excellence" for them without isolating them. An optimist, he sees himself as a moderate who could improve teacher - administration relations on a school board where the dominant personalities of senior members Bell and Westwood , have not helped the problem. "(The infighting) is crap," he says quietly. "It doesn't belong in the system. We're talking about education, not politics." Optimistically: "I won't be there to tell the teachers how to do their job, just to tell them what we want in education." Even more optimistically: "I will add a nice balance to the board." Riding a marked trend towards basic education, and relying on the rough, but battle proven political tactics of Westwood, the aggressive hopeful could well find himself a seat on the board. With incumbents Ed Klassen and Peggy Douglas stepping down, and the earlier resignation of Howard Anderson, former board chairman, there appears to be little opposition to the new slate. The Independent Electors Association of Langley, slow in recovering from a shrewd political hatchet job it received at the hands of funamentalist candidates last year, is having trouble attracting candidates. Appraising the situation Maluorno displays the courage of conviction seen so often in those new to the political game. "I believe in what I'm doing. I'm not a politician. I'm not going to bc alderman, I'm not going to bc the mayor of Langley, I'm not going to be the premier of this province...at least that's how I feel now."

ENTERTAIIMIYIEMT CSN - flawless Crosby, Stills and Nash ... harmonizing sweetly to an ecstatic Vancouver crowd. The Crosby. Stills and Nash show at the Coliseum last week was an all-round success, confirmed by several standing ovations and two enthusiastic encores. CSN, with a bad reputation for live show quality (and a poor live album with Neil Young), managed to just fill over half of the available reserved seating, and the beginning of their first set indicated that perhaps this would bc another failure. The first set was a real rocker, with Stcvie Stills wailing on guitar on old raves like "Love the one you're with." Unfortunately, the sund booth was suffering from mismanagement, because the instruments were so loud that they very nearly drowned out any vocals. CSN, sensing this, issued several commands to have the balance adjusted, but the situation was not rectified until the second set. The audience remained ecstatic throughout the trials and tribulations of the sound crew, and welcomed CSN's return with acoustic guitars. They began with the very difficult harmonics of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," and to the surprise of all (including CSN) pulled it off without a hitch. The audience rose to their feet and it seemed the deafening applause wouldn't end. CSN, flustered and a little embarrased reacted by putting all-out effort into the remainder of the show, and received accolades and much more deafening appluasc. There were still little errors, such as Stills using a higher tuned guitar for a song so that Crosby and Nash's voices nearly cracked with the effort of singing in the same key. Stills'put the guitar down after a few bars, realizing his mistake, but Crosby, the unforgiving sot, brought a deep crimson out in Still's face with the admonishment "You nearly put us in hospital." The audience roared with laughter, however, at the comic relief. CSN wooed the audience with a variety of their old songs, laced with many of the new. Especially appreciated were Crosby and Nash's rendition of the tatter's "Guiniverc", Still's solo medley of old Robert Johnson delta blues, and McCartney's beautiful "Blackbird". Their new- material was favored as well, including Nash's brilliant "Cathedral." They were backed by drummer Joe Vitalc (formerly with Joe Walsh), George Perry on bass, and a recent addition to the touring band, Kim Pollard on keyboards. The highlight of the evening was a tribute to the whales of the deep sea. a Nash composition "Wind on the Water." together with film footage from the Cousteau foundation's incredible wildlife library. CSN have received considerable flack from the Vancouver medium for not responding to Greenpeace's appeal for CSN's concert earnings to help balance the books of the Financially "red" organization. CSN may be millionaires for all I know (or care), but I don't think it's fair to expect them to throw their money into the Greenpeace coffers. Greenpeace is a populist conservation movement, and support should come from all those who care to call themselves conservationists, not just the rich few. lf everyone in the lower mainland chipped in whatever (hey could, Greenpeace would have more than enough - and if every wildlife lover in the world sent money, whaling would cease tomorrow. If we don't stop expecting someone else to do our work for us, wc deserve whatever happens to the whales (even though the whales might not). CSN finished their 2 hour plus evening performance with two old favorites "Wooden Ships," and "Teach Your Children", and the crowd slowly filtered out of the coliseum. No one was disappointed.

Harlow was never like this LANGLEY CITY - Shades of Harold Robbins. what a gross act. lf you have never seen upward of 200 people crammed into a nightclub, drunk and still drinking, tired and still dancing, you should have been there. On the other hand if you have seen it all before you are probably glad you missed it. Harlow brought out the worst in everyone. It was punk rock for sure, except instead of punks we got every other kind of moral perversion under the sun. Instead of safety pins in the cheeks (punk rock vogue), we got our cheeks pinched on the dance floor. In lieu of music we got amplifiers that resembled the engines that sent John Glenn into orbit. In short Harlow was gross. So gross in fact that it made the crowd gross too. Wc had to be restrained from performing a strip-tease on the table, and when that thrill was gone, we found other lewd and not so terribly exciting things to do. In short we can't decide whether we liked it or not, we only know that Harlow did at least succeed at getting even the most refined ladies and gentlemen in the crowd to step out of their' shells for a few hours. If that is good or bad is matter for God, not newspapermen. RAYE SUFFERS THROUGH FLU ALDERGROVE — Though her many appreciative fans in this area may not have realized it. Diana Raye ended up her week- long return booking here last week not in the best of health. At a number of points throughout the week Diana, who was ailing with a bout of the flu, was relieved for a few hours by other entertainers in the area while she recovered her spirits. Among those who stood in for the songstress was Doc Phillips of the now defunct singing duo called 'Just Us'. Doc is a former side man from the Roger Miller entourage of the late sixties. Diana was the real star of the show alt week, however, and carried on the distinction of being one of the most sought after lounge acts booked into town. Her unique song stylings and her wide reertoire have drawn favorable comment from almost everyone who has seen and listened to her here. Although she admits to not having been in the business very long. Diana has the polish of a person with years of experience in front of the mike. She also showed the profes- sionality of a trooper in the way she handled her week long sickness. Although there were times that she did not feel up to performing, not one evening went by without lounge patrons getting a good taste of her music, performed with the usual style and flair. Her song list covers a spectrum of music reaching from present day rock lyrics to the soft blues of the 30's and 40's. Covering all these bases is something that many entertainers who play the Alder Inn attempt to do, but few manage to bridge the gaps between the different tytfes of music with the same ease that Diana Raye does. Diana is presently on her way to another booking and spending her spare time with Aldergrove's Mike Campbell, whom it is said, stole her heart away during her last visit to town. AC? Isn't that a new rock group Oh, what a lovely burp ...dinner ••• By JAMES K. NESBITT VICTORIA — I often wonder how our forebcarers managed to wade through the enormous spreads set before them at the banquets, for gentlemen only, that were so popular in the formative years of our province. Ten courses were as nothing; whether every course was ordered or not, 1 have no way of knowing. Ladies never attended such affairs. For them to have done so would have .been considered unladylike. They were always toasted, however — "To the ladies — God bless them." The virtues of womanhood were extolled — as,long as the wives and mothers stayed home, only sallying forth to attend affairs for women only. Ladies in those days went to dances, but seldom to dinner parties in hotels. What brings all this to mind is a menu I have come across for a banquet in Victoria, at the St. George Hotel, in honour of retiring American consul David Eckstein. In those days the newspapers, reporting such a banquet, often published the menu. Such menus make great reading; I love them, and study them, wondering what I would have chosen had 1 been there.

Bowser Moon howls as best LANGLEY — Bowser Moon played a three night stand at the Bow Fiddler cabaret last week, but since they played on the weekdays instead of the weekend they didn't get a full house. However, the crowd they did attract made up for it with their enthusiasm. Bowser Moon is led by Casey Boyle, who used to play the drums but has since moved out front to, take over the lead vocals, acoustic guitar and percussion. Glen Addison plays lead guitar, and sings load and backup vocals. Gerry Berg plays bass. John Hanna is one of two members of Bowser Moon who are formerly members of Heart. John plays keyboard, organ, string machine, and synthesiser. Brian Johnstone is the other member of Bowser Moon who has played with Heart, he is Bowser Moon's drummer. Bowser Moon has had tour dates with such names at Trooper, Dr. Hook and Chilliwack. They have had night clubs call them "the best show and biggest draw of all Vancouver bands." High school reports has Bowser Moon as the most requested band. Their promotor calls them "one of (he most co-operative acts in the province." Bowser Moon is due to play at the Fun Palace in the first week of November and will be playing at the Bow Fiddler again during Christmas week. So be there to see one of the best bands in the Lower Mainland. CONGRATULATIONS to the Bow Fiddler GRAND OPENING from The Aldergrove Star Casey Boyle of Bowser Moon at Bow Fiddlers. Light Ioof in concert Bv ROSS FAIRWEATHER A dimly lit stage, a few scattered musicians, a single spotlight and a legendary minstrel singing ballads with a style and Hair he can truly call his own. This Gordon Lightfoot in his finest hour. It is fortunate that the 10 p.m. show. Sept. 16, was held in the classic surroundings of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, for the very personal atmosphere would have been lost in something as vulgar as an ice-rink.

Silver Heels, and Dreamland. He was then called back by his responsive audience for a one- song encore of Waltz With the Blues. Gordon Lightfoot is one of the few truly great Canadian superstars. Fortunately, he has stayed in Canada, to share with us the force and magic of his contemporary Canadian music. In fact, the most notable point about this man in concert is his voice. Anyone doing Lightfoot's material has little or no hope of achieving the unique Canadian back-bush style he performs. In effect, it is this way of expressing his songs which has kept Lightfoot at the pinnacle of Canadian music since the mid- 60's. Just a note for any avid Lightfood fans out there: rumour has it that Lightfoot will be doing a charity concert with Harry Chapin (singer of Cat's in the Cradle and Taxi) sometime in earlv 1978. -The Pinion ^ Restaurant and dining guide FAMILY RESTAURANT at Country Inns Motel 2073 Clearbrook Rd..

OCTOBER 26, 1977 Spotlight on the arts Aldergrove resident In Thornton Wilder comedy, Gerwyn Mills (center) as Malachal Stack plays one of Horace Vandergelder's clerks in The Matchmaker, to be presented by the Valley Musical Theatre Guild on Nov. 22, 23 and 24 with a matinee and evening performance on Nov. 26 at Abbotsford senior secondary school. Tickets may be reserved by phoning 534-2288. By JULIE VALENTI An important decision was made at the October 19 Langley Arts Council meeting. Voting ont he proposed theatre for the tr^angle>''district. council members concluded that only a theatre should be built, without the addition of crafts rooms. Due to the expense of building just the theatre, the additional rooms would prove too costly. Representatives from various local craft guildes were heard who stated that their present meeting sites are adaquate and don't foresee a future need for the rooms. Council, however, with forethought to the growth of the arts in the Langley district has found two old city-owned homes in Langley that could be operated as craft houses, should the city lease them as such. The decision on them will be known at a later date. Another council resolve made is to have a large wooden sign with white lettering reading "Langley Arts Centre" erected on 207 Street. This should provide Job's Daughters breakfast LANGLEY — A pancake breakfast has been arranged in the Langley Mall here on Sunday, Nov. 6 by Job's Daughters of Bethel 52, Langley. Breakfast will be served between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. and the price is $2 for adults, SI.50 for students and seniors, and children under 5 free. clearer directions to the centre than the small street signs that are there now. It was announced that the old age pensioners arc invited free of charge to the last dress rehcrsal before the opening of the Langley Players production on November 18. This dress rehearsal date will bc decided soon. Tickets for the rest of the public to the play and other community entertainments can be obtained from the box office, set up in the Langley mall every Friday. Other council concerns discussed were many — the Swensson collection of photographs to be made into book form, the Christmas craft fair, art in the municipal hall, and the desire of council members to get more of the arts taught in the local schools, especially at the elementary level. The meeting concluded with a talk by Evelyn Kingston about television - how what we watch affects all of us, as individuals - and as a society. Evelyn participated in an intensive weekend T.V. awareness training course the goal of which was to make those attending more aware of what they watch, how they react to what they watch, and how to effect appropriate changes to make television more valuable, meaningful and purposeful. Council members enjoyed her talk and found it an informative and enlightening finish to a productive meeting. Matchmaker tickets on tale now ABBOTSFORD — The Valley Musical Theatre Guild are into the last month of rehearsals for their local production of the comedy-drama The Matchmaker. The Matchmaker is the uproarious fable of a rich Yonkers merchant who goes to New York to seek a wife and becomes involved in a comic tornado. But, as Brooks Atkinson observed in his review of the play for the N. Y Times: "There is no point in describing the plot. Nothing matters but the grotesque situ ations that are invented and the boldness with which Mr. Wilder exploits them...Put together like an insane ballet, The Matchmaker is fast and boisterous." Tickets for this hit comedy can now be purchased from any cast member, guild member or reserved by phoning 534-2288. The presentation will take place on Nov. 22, 23, and 24 with a matinee and evening performance on Nov. 26 at Abbotsford senior secondary school. Commercials win prize for CFVR radio CLEARBROOK — Radio station CFVR, Abbotsford, has scored a first place prize in the national "soundcraft" competition sponsored by the radio bureau of Canada. i' The competition spotlights excellence in commercial writing and production, and produced some 20 winners from across Canada. CFVR won first prize in the Marriage and family cfiscussecf WINNIPEG — Members of Langley Family Services were delegates to the recent counselling I centre consultation sponsored by ' the United Church of Canada and I held here recently. ' Carol Forcier, director of Family Services and Rev. Fred Kingston, minister of Murrayville - Milner ■ Fort Langley United Churches and president of Family Services joined delegates from across Canada in wide-ranging debate and exchange of training models for today's family. Educational programs, coupled with training for volunteers, centered on the present state of marriage and the family. A second session on marriage preparation and marriage enrichment was designed to focus on leadership skills to meet the particular needs of each delegate's community. In response to the need for institutional change in the political, social and legal areas of our society, programs of social action were drafted at the meeting. Kingston commented on the direct relationship of the church to each area of discussion, while Forcier expressed her enthusiasm for the far ranging effects of the meetings. "The consultation is held every two years and gives us an excellent opportunity to share skills and expertise developed by other centres and to learn from each other and share concerns," she said. The marriage council of the United Church of Canada provides a yearly grant to Langley Family Services to assist in the training of volunteers.

Is religion all but gone? Dr. Daniel Cappon, a professur in environmental studies at York University. Toronto, at a recent international conference in New Zelaiui suggested that the United Nations convene a meeting of the hundred best intellects in the world to discuss the purpose of human existence. He has explained why he is calling for such a meeting: "With every ideology wavering, religion all but gone, science unable to give the answers to why. no one can tell us any more what it's all about." Really, professor? Surely you reeogni/e that it is of the nature of an ideology to waver, for it is a response of emotion and mid. a matter of anxiety and aspiration, with respect to a broad pattern of circumstance which is constantly changing. Only for the totalitarian mind do ideologies not waver. And science as such has never purported to give answers to life's basic "Whys" — although it can help clear underbrush and indicate new directions. "Religion all but gone"? Perhaps in some countries, but it still seems to have an effective life in Canada and to bc showing signs of becoming stronger than it has been in the recent past. Religious leaders report that more and more people now seem to be looking to church and synagogue for help in coping with the deep, basic problems of their lives. The pressures and menaces and confusions of life today are causing many to look for meaning and purpose in the resources of religion — and there is evidence that religious leaders, recognizing this, are offering in their ministrations the basics of religion, and are less concerned with the mere incidentals of religion than many have been in the recent past. The alleged evidence that "religion is gone" is often superficial, depending upon how many people went to church or synagogue last week. But religion goes much deeper than that. It's not a question about organized religion at all but "does life have meaning for you? And is that because, like a member of AA, you arc trusting a power beyond yourself and working that out daily?" Dr. Cappon's suggestion certainly is worthy of serious consideration — but he shouldn't rule out the effectiveness of religion, not yet anyway. -United Church News MOTION PICTURE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY 5806- 200 St. .Langley 1' on.i ". - Sti'Hlay Service 11 UO ,i ■!■ -*- Sunday S'f.MtHii ti or [, *■ -.

Troubled offered aid by burden bearers CONSCIENCE AND COMMENT A world series test By Rev. K.NEILL FOSTER Right now the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers arc locked in the annual struggle for baseball's World Series. Assuredly also, before these lines appear in print, the issue will bc decided and one of Local men attend 23rd annual conference BANFF — The 23rd annual Banff men's Conference of the United Church was held at the centre from Friday, October 14 to Sunday, October 16. The theme speaker was Rev. Rod Booth, director of communications for the British Columbia conference of the United Church of Canada, a radio commentator, journalist, chairman of the United Church's national task force on the ministry and winner of the international Gabriel award for radio broadcasting (the first time this award had been won by a Canadian). His theme was "New lamps for old - God's call to participation in the new reformation". A total of 586 men were in attendance from all parts of Canada though most came from the three western provinces. Also in attendance were 14 members of the world Council of Churches who acted as workshop leaders. These men came from such distant places as Nigeria, Zambia, Madagascar, Indonesia, Korea. Federal Republic of Germany, Netherlands. Argentina, Trinidad, Czechoslovakia, Fiji and Switzerland. This latter group of men are part of the world council group which met at Naramata Centre during the week of October 17 in an effort to co-ordinate the work of the various denominations of the Christian church throughout the world insofar as Christian education centres is concerned. Banff Men's Conference is organized by and composed mainly of men of the United Church of Canada. It is. however, open to men of any Christian denomination. Local men attending this year were Mike Kerry, Bill Nash and Neii Hcindricks of Aldergrove and Barry and Lome Nadcau of Mt. Lehman. the teams will have become World Champions. Why write then, when events arc sure to upstage the copy? There is an answer and I'll give it in a moment. But I must affirm that 1 tremendously enjoy baseball. There is something about the crack of the bat, the bouncing grounder, the double play, and the home run that absorbs the spectator in one of the world's great dramas of sport. The Christian believer, on the other hand, is told, "Love not the world, neither the things that are of the world, lf any man love teh world, the love of the Father is not in him." And as one country cousin asked. "If that don't mean the World Series, what do it mean?" The answer, of course, is that love for God must be supreme. If baseball or the World Series becomes a god then idolatry is the result. Love for God does not preclude other loves. For wife and family, for example. But there's a tough side to the Book too. If you love the World Scries more than God Almighty, you're in trouble. Fact is. you don't know God at all. ByHOEFRISINO Hegge lverson grows chrysanthemums. "When I plant one." he says, "There is no doubt in my mind that I'll get a blossom." Hegge lverson also counsels troubled people. "1 tell them they're God's plant and He expected a blossom, not what they've made of their lives. I help them to blossom." lverson heads an organization called Burden Bearers, Inc. He has a large staff, including six other counselors, a social worker and two assistants who run a foster home program, an adoption agency, and this year, he says, his budget will be well over $200,000. His slogan is, "1 believe 1 can help you." lverson's picture was as dark in 1941 as it is bright today. "1 was full of negatives." he says. "I couldn't hold a job. I had no esteem for myself. I had no friends. I was not a functioning human being." He roamed Seattle, bounced from physician to psychiatrist and back again. One day he met a doctor who changed his whole life pattern. He showed me that God cared." lverson said. "He started wheels going for mc that changed my life, that realigned by thinking. 1 began to care about myself and soon found I could care about others." lverson began studying ministerial work, was ordained, and for nearly 20 years worked with community churches, and for a time was chaplain at King's Garden. People discovered in him a person who would listen to their problems. "More and more people began to find me." he said, and in the early 60's he began to devote full time to counseling. In 1964 Burden Bearers Inc. was incorporated. lverson says most problems his organization handles are those of persons 30 to 50 years old having marital relationship troubles. "Our divorce rate is a catastrophe." he says. "People want to break up a marriage for no reason at all. That's what is causing all the havoc in our school system." He said when he lectures to high school students, "they ask me why they can't sleep together, what's wrong with living with a girl, why should there be a clergyman at a marriage and why should there be a marriage al all? "I tell them, 'do you ever play basketball without rules? Or football?

Life is the same way. There are rules you must live by.' "They say 'who makes the rules,' and 1 tell them, i think there's a quarterback of the world who makes those rules." I tell them I believe there is a God who cares how they act. "They tell me they've never had anyone talk to them about God. They don't go to church and they don't hear of God at hc-ne." lverson stresses that Burden Bearers has no connection with any charitable organization. "We exist on donations and payments for treatment by those who can; afford it. We never send a bill. We have 90 to 100 counselees each month, plus therapy classes around the area attended by hundreds more. And we offer help with four radio broadcasts a day." A law officer whose marriage was saved by Burden Bearers said. "They do more good accidentally than other counselors do on purpose. I never hesitate to recommend the organization." A school teacher who also was having marital problems said he happened upon Burden Bearers when he attended a retreat for married couples and one of the speakers was on Iverson's staff. "I'm very impressed with,. them. I talked with them about my problem. They do work in this town that 99 per cent of the churches can't touch. You wouldn't believe how many people I've sent there." Both men said they donate monthly to the organization. Last June another counselor joined Hegge Iverson's Burden Bearers. His name is Jerome Douglas lverson, and he came with a masters degree in psychological counseling. lverson smiles. "Sure makes the old man feel good that his son wants to join him." Hegge and his wife Lillian will be at the South Otter M.B.

A warning about the dangers of noise accompanying leisure activities is contained in a leaflet issued by the council, an official advisory body reporting to the department of the environment. The leaflet. Hearing and Recreation, is not just an attack on discotheques but includes cautions about shooting, motor racing, do-it-yourself machine tools and even indoor swimming pools. Pop music involves a "small but definite risk" but so might listening to a large and powerful orchestra playing Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture with cannon and mortar effects, says the leaflet. The danger to hearing is related to the amount of exposure to excessive noise levels. The noise at a disco can peak at 120 decibels (a weighted noise level reading) equivalent to the sound of a jet plane taking off, while average levels through an evening are frequently higher than 105 decibels or the noise level produced by road drills. Fifteen minutes at that level would potentially do as much ;■ damage as eight hours working subbjected to 90 decibels.

ALDERGROVE — On Friday. October 28, the Toronto Dominion Bank will open its first branch here. The branch will be located in Aldergrove Square directly across from the Super-Valu food store. Aldergrove, once a rural village serving the surrounding farms, has quadrupled its population in the past ten years. The Toronto Dominion Bank has watched this growth with interest and the new branch has been designed with the needs of the community in mind. The manager, Poul Hansen, has been carefully chosen, because of his strong background in nearby Haney, Langley and Delta branches. Poul and his wife have a five-acre hobby farm in Aldergrove with a few sheep, geese and ducks. Hansen will be supported by Lorctta Purse, as administration officer, Lenore McLean and Wendy Lafond as tellers, and Katherine Ward, part-time employee. In addition, the branch staff and customers will have the assistance and advise of Bill Stewart, manager of agriculture services for the Toronto Dominion. Stewart is an agrologist with special expertise in farm finances. The new branch will have convenient banking hours to accommodate its customers: Tuesday to Thursday 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. '„ Friday 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m." Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. ) An open house will be hel<J during opening day, October 28 with manager Poul Hansen weir coming all visitors to meet his staff and enjoy light refresh* ments. There will also be flowers for the first 100 ladies, posters and other little gifts for custom* crs. * Crazy Boots loose to Fleetwood Wenman Report By BOB WENMAN, MP This week 1 have the second half of Art Paul's article on Employment Policy for you. Mr. Chretien and his colleagues would do well if they heeded Art's advice; the ridiculously high unemployment rate of 8.3 percent is a good indicator or the advice the finance minister has been receiving to date. * * * In Canada we simply do not have any mass markets. Consider by comparison the small state of California with a population equal to all of Canada. Hence to develop our economy in a stable manner consistent with market realities it is appropriate that we encourage those firms that arc able to adjust to small markets, to the lack of ultra- sophisticated services, and to semi-skilled labour. This by definition is a small or medium-sized firm. Fortunately there is a quadruple value in this choice. Smaller firms, with smaller manufacturing batches, and lesser capacity equipment are somewhat more labour-intensive and somewhat less capital-intensive than bigger firms. Smaller firms are also more capable of giving efficient service to small local markets and use less resources in transporting goods. Hence with th* one criteria of selecting employment programs that favor smaller firms we improve our employment, our capital requirements, our productivity and our utilitization of energy. It is hard to imagine better value. In assessing any program that through direct or indirect funding encourages private firms to institute or increase services in areas of high unemployment it is important to avoid artificially stimulating a market wherein a firm cannot remain stable when support is withdrawn as is the normal pattern in a few years time. The after effect of shuddering collapse is often more severe than the original condition. A further, criteria that is worth great consideration is the long- term value of the program as an aid to employment. It is hard to criticize the private sector as an on-going source of employment, taxation monies, innovation and productivity. Hence undoubtedly the indirectly related policies of any government are the ones that over extended time are the most critical. Perhaps the greatest obstacle to stability in our employment atmosphere is the steadily increasing diversion of private management into compulsory effort toward fulfilling regulations. By personal observation the reduction in private firm efficiency created by rising governmental control in the last fifteen years is shocking. Hcncy any program that will allow managers more time to manager by reducing the governmental demand on their time will improve the Canadian economic status and with it employment. A specific program that might well bc renovated is the U.I.C. It is no longer valid to continue the fantasy that Unemployment Insurance is "insurance". It is so heavily supported by funds from general taxation that it would bc more efficient to discontinue the costly farce of collecting weekly 'premiums' and simply fund it from general income tax funds. Another strong support program would bc a more competi- livi* interest rate by the F.B.D. Hank. It is difficult to reconcile the intent of encouraging indust rial development with the high rate that is routinely charged on loans. If an analysis were made of the benefit to the public coffers created by industrial growth it is probable that we could justify interest free loans to legitimate business expansion. Some interesting results might occur if careful analysis were made of the Canada Manpower organization, under the above criteria. Would the value of the number of placements made equal the cost of administering the placement program. As an employer who no longer considers the Manpower office as a valid source of personnel I suspect that private firms could perform the task of matching employees - to - employers much more effectively. A principle of governmental practise that might well improve our employment difficulties is that of uncontrolled and unwarranted excess spending. Consider the inflationary effect of such practise and with inflation the necessity of a second family member seeking work in the struggle to maintain living standards. The result is that many who might otherwise not wish to work outside their homes become part-time workers and in off periods become "unemployed" and often recipients of U.I.C. benefits. Hence any decrease in public spending releases equal funds to direct use by citizens and will reduce the pressure for dual family incomes. In conclusion I offer the opinion that we must treat our general economic system for a serious case of self-imposed bonds that are denying Canadian workers the opportunity to exhibit the normal tendencies of self-support because Canadian firms are prevented from growing consistently with our population and with our neighbouring countries. The innovative and entreprcnurial segment of our society has not been able to peform to their natural capacity because of arbitrary governmental demands. If managerial capacity is released and the economic drain to government is removed, so that there is incentive for activity, I believe that employment will automatically improve. An analogy is the medical patient who cannot walk, not for lack of intent or of muscular capacity but because of the pain and stiffness in the scars caused by excessive and ill-advised surgical procedures. * * • So Washington's Governor Dixie Lee Ray is upset that her pet project, the Cherry Point oil port expansion, has been blocked! I am afriad that I cannot summon too much sympathy for Governor Ray. The Cherry Point expansion seemed to be the idea of only her and Atlantic Richfield Co. Earlier this year she had vetoed a state legislature bill which would have effectively prohibited any change in oil port facilities located east of Port Angeles. Governor Ray's statements earlier this month, criticizing our interest in the Cherry Point expansion, represented a low- point in B.C.-Washsington relations. I wonder now that more of the West Coast Oil Ports Inquiry spotlight and oil company interest has been shifted to our coast and especially Kitimat, whether or not Governor Ray will sit back and make no comments about an energy project which will affect her state?

Royals win again Shy athletes play for laughs ALDERGROVE — Super athletes who play for laughs! This is one way to describe the Harlem Clowns, world famous exhibition basketball team, which comes to the local gymnasium for a night of fun and frolic on November 7. Members of the Harlem organization are picked for showmanship as well as basketball ability. Every year, two weeks before the season begins, owner Al Pullins holds training camp in a Rich mond, California gymnasium. He brings in candidates from all over the U.S. What docs it take to become a member of this fabulous team? • Usually he is a college man, having been a star performer first in high school. • He must have good character nad the ability to get along with others. This is most necessary for men who travel daily and live together at nights in motels five months a year. ■■■■ .* • He must have basketball ability, the potential to be a showman and a flair for the comic caper. At first a new player is often shy and sometimes reluctant to enter into the comedy routines — but he catches on quick. Through the years, the team changes — players leave, retire, find year-around employment in other fields, so that new men must bc developed and new "showmen" discovered. Clowns needed LANGLEY — The parks and recreation commission here is looking for "boys and girls — teen and adults that might have a desire to be a clown," according to a spokesman.

By BOB WHITEHOUSE The Aldergrove Royal Bank Royals extended their current unbeaten streak to 5 on Sunday be defeating S.U. Celtics (15 yrs.. Div. 2) 3-1 at Steele Park. The word "luck" must also be mentioned, but whether it was good luck for Aldergrove or bad for Surrey is a matter of conjecture, although Aldergrove was good value for the win as they did have the best of the play. From the opening kick off the Royals attacked and kept the ball in the Surrey end for the greater part of the first half allowing Surrey only one or two chances but it was not until the 35th minute that they finally tallied one. Dale Gervais and Alan Fontaine passed the ball between them, with Dale firing it goalward. The Surrey goalie dived to save, failed to hold it and Murray Sasyniuk was in the right spot to put the rebound home. This goal seemed to animate the Royals to greater efforts and just 4 minutes later Murray connected with his second goal, his hard shot finishing off a pretty passing play between Gervais and striker Danny Lewthwaite whose perfect pass put Murray in the clear. That ended the scoring in the first half with Aldergrove enjoying a 2*0 lead. Then came the second half and the luck. Playing conservatively at the start of the second half, both teams were putting the spectators to sleep, when the Royals struck for their 3rd goal. Sasyniuk playing his best game this year passed the ball to David McDonald who put it inside for Dale Gervais. Dale passed to Chris Pedersen, who beat 3 men and passed it back to Dale, who scored quickly, the prettiest goal of the day. Then came the Royals customary 2nd half lapse. Sitting back on their 3 goal lead they allowed the. Celtics fo take the momentum away from them and the Surrey team pressed for goals. On a breakaway, David Reeves stopped a certain goal by coming out and playing the man instead of the ball. On the ensuing penalty the kicker drove the ball onto the crossbar and back out, right to the same player. Luckily for Aldergrove he was not allowed to play the ball twice and had to let it go. permitting the defence to clear the ball. Unfortunately the defence could not handle all of the pressure that was being applied and Surrey scored a nice goal to come within 2 goals. Surrey kept up the pressure forcing David Reeves to make two scintillating saves, tipping one over the cross bar and I around the upright to preserve the hard-earned victory. In all, it was an excellent game, clearly played and well controlled by referee Jack Timion, but if Aldergrove wants to beat the strong Whalley Celtics next week, with whom they share 3rd place, they will have to play hard for the full 80 minutes without this perplexing, habitual let down in the second half. Next week will tell. Goals - Aldergrove - 35 minutes (Sasyniuk), 39 mins. (Sasyniuk), 50 min. (Gervais). Surrey 65 mins. (Sandquist).

POTTER Rempel Bros. Zero's captain Alan Alderson led his team against the leagues top team, the Guildford Celtics and although we came out the losers the boys played a great game. Saturday, October 22nd at 10:30 Parkside. with the senior mens team goalie Frans Van- denmeuvel doing a fine job with the whistle, at this 12 yr. old soccer game, saw our local Zero's team play their best game of the season. With no disgrace at the 2-0 defeat. The Guildford Celtics must have brought their invisible goal shield because after all the Zero's pressing which must have been three quarters of the game, the ball just would not go over the goal line. A big plus for the Celtics 12 year olds was their ability to shoot and score on their infrequent attacks, but this is what makes soccer the most exciting game in the world. After last weeks poor effort against the weakest team in the league, the Rempel Zero's decided to play soccer how we all know they can. With harder kicking, faster checking, better passing, and more thinking positional play our lads started to shine. Regular goalie Brian Smail was out with a nose injury and winger Mike Brady stood in for Brian. Mike was the star of the game this week and he looked like his pa did a few years ago when he played in net for the Bradner Red Shirts, well done Mr. Brady. Jim Shaw played a stormer at center Borsoto still on top CHILLIWACK - Langley Bor- sato stayed on top of division 1 in the mens soccer Sunday with a 3-2 win over the Chilliwack Lakers. Goals were scored by Soren Raagner, Bill McRae (his ninth of the year) and, the winner by Alan Burton. CKVU sent a letter to the Borsato's complimenting them on the brand of soccer that is played in the Fraser Valley. CKVU who televised the Langley Borsato - Bradncr Reds game, said that the whole crew enjoyed going out to the game. The next Langley Borsato game is on Sunday; October 30 at 2:00 p.m. at City park in Langley Lions and Road back and free kicker, he can boom a oall V* of the length of the field now, and he came close to scoring many times through the game. AH Jim needs now is to straighten his foot and he could score in every game. Well done big Jim. Praise goes to everyone on the team, forwards, Alan Alderson, Ian McDonald, Dion Hackett, Stacy Richter, Casey Jansen. Half backs Larry Lemoine, Curtis Jakubouski, Mark Uprichard, Andrew Hanon, and last but not least the full backs who are putting it all together now, Nelson Vallance, Jim Shaw, Stan Keiss, Dwight Dancy, Jeff DeVrics and superstar Mike Brady in goals. Excellent game by everyone and next time we meet Guildford we will sure give them a run for their money. No game next week owing to Seattle soccer exchange.

United takes Fraser Valley Inn ALDERGROVE — On Sunday Aldergrove United played Fraser Valley Inn Spurs and came away with a gratifying win. Aldergrove did, however, have its share of problems. Throughout the entire first half, they were lacking aggressiveness and apparent desire. The local team was either getting beat to the ball or not challenging for it at all. So once more United found themselves facing a 1-0 deficit at halftlme. The locals knew they could win this game if they played a strong second half. By now this was almost normal procedure as they have been down by the same score at half time in their last two matches. They knew that as soon as they got one goal, everyone would By ROLLAND J. MEILLEUR With a proper warm up and motivation, our team played with the spirit of spartans. A happy lot they were and deserving at the win. The Spartans worked as a team and showed that courage, and hard work pays off. The forward line Freddy Stockfisch centrer forward outside left Michael Ring outside right Gordon Patterson played a great game and kept the pressure on every second. Michael Ring proved he has what it takes by driving a goal home in the early stage of the game. He is averaging one goal per game. Freddy Stockfisch our centre forward missed two golden opportunities in the first two minutes of the game. Freddie's speed and determination never let up and we knew it was going to happen. After some beautiful passing from Eric Floe inside left and Patrick Koelekamp inside right. Freddy moved in for pass and drilled it past the goalkeeper. Eric Floe showed keen awareness of the opposition's attempts on sling shot and with the speed of Pelc foiled their efforts three times in a row to keep the pressure on. Jonathon Foldman OK Tires wins big ByTERRYSTURLY ALDERGROVE - OK Tire scored a decisive 9-3 victory over Mission Dairy Queen in mens junior B action last Friday night, at the Aldergrove arena. OK Tire led 6-2 at half time on goals by Doug Jacobs (2), Ed Brunero, George Gray, Ralph Kwasnicki and Sandy McClaren. While Mission got goals from Steve Richardson and Calvin Foster. Mission looked like they might come back in the second half when Roy Evans scored to make it 6-3. OK Tire then scored three more as Mission faded. The goals came in rapid succession from John McNaught, Dan Pedersen and Terry Chovan. The frustration that sometimes accompanies a lopsided score was clearly evident as referee Mike Parker was forced to hand out 56 minutes in penalities. In the other Friday night game Hi-Sex blanked Matsqui Institute Coppertones 7-0. Leading the Hi-Sex attack was Dave Roney with five goals and one assist. Goalie Rick Shead stopped 18 shots in recording the shutout. loosen up and more goals would follow. The problem was to ge# that first goal, and get the ball rolling. It looked, however, like United were never going to score. Time after time they missed their chances. Finally with 12 minutes left in the game the ice broke. Bill Docherty found himself wide open and the goalie' out of position. Bill scored to tie the game, but that was only the beginning. Less than two minutes later Hank Klysoon set up Bruce Ferguson who broke thru to score the winning goal. Shortly afterwards Bruce had another shot on net which this time was blocked, but Barry Makela was there to smoke in the rebound. With less than two minutes 1-pft Steve Malish broke free in what looked like a sure goal. Unfortunately for Steve the defender got his hand on the ball to rob him of a goal. Bill Docherty took the penalty kick and drove it home easily. Final score was 4-1, Aldergrove over Fraser Valley Inn Spurs. Next Sunday Aldergrove plays away at Mission, taking on the Tradesmen.

Danny Mieve got the first goal as the Lions took a 1-0 lead early in the second half. The Road Runners tied the game during the last few minutes of play. The goalies for the Lions were Domonic Shadbolt for the first half and brother Chris Shadbolt for the second half. Domonic played defence in the second half, doing very well, in checking and he made some nice long passes. Special mention this week will go to Adam Vallance and Greg Anderson, both defencemen. The Lions arc continuing to show teamwork and a strong group is shaping up. A more "willing to learn" bunch of boys would bc hard to find.

Last year the Hearts and Braves were locked together all season and in the final game although the Hearts had 90 percent of play, the Braves won 1-0 to take the league. This season the Hearts arc out for revenge and they beat the Braves easily in their second game. With the Braves only 3 points behind in second place the game this week was important to both teams. Hearts took to the field minus star left winger Ron Hunt and a few positional changes up front. The Hearts started the game off the way they finished with continual pressure on the Surrey net minder but they could not score. Billy Clark, Cary Meire. Bruce Ferguson and Bruce Burns continually came up with some beautiful passing plays but goals would not come. In that first twenty-five minutes David Thompson in the Hearts net touched the ball twice. The second half was a repeat of the first except for the goals. Completely against the run of play the Braves opened the scoring. A loose ball broke through the middle to centre where the Hearts defence were caught napping and a Braves forward ran through to push the ball past the Hearts goalie. This goal was not to upset the Hearts players like it would have done last year. Instead they came back to tie the game five minutes later, hard working Billy Clark picked up the ball at the half-way line took it to the far side of the eighteen-yard box and placed a perfect ball in front where Cary Meire was on the spot to fire home. That was the end of the scoring but not the end of the game with Hearts going all out to get that elusive goal.

Leblanc playing well in net. Rovers scrape win over Aztex By LINDSAY MacPHERSON For the second week in a row the Aldergrove Rovers failed to come up with the sparkle that they displayed earlier in the season. Although they managed to squeak through with a 3-2 win over Surrey Aztex it was not a game to get excited about. Gary Willimont, suffering from a minor back injury, relinquished his left wing shot to Rodney Skanks and played at left back. It took a while: for the Rovers to get organized, however, with Greg Meyer dominent in centre field they managed to keep the Aztex pinned down in their own end. Finally after three attempts the system clicked - a good strong pass from Don Newstead send Andy MacPherson racing away. His first shot missed the mark but he was on the spot to hook the ball in from a difficult angle. Rodney Skanks, enjoying the scope offered by his new position, worked his way down the left wing and centered to Gary Croft who scored with a powerful well placed shot. The Aztex kept plugging away looking for loopholes, but David Howett, Pat Rosseau and Gary Willimont kept them pretty well bottled up. Pat, back in the line up after a skate board injury, was particularly strong with some good long goal kicks. The Aldergrove team went ahead to three nil when a good corner kick from Gary Croft finally found Andy MacPherson in position to score his second goal. Having learned little from the previous week the local boys slackened off. This was just what the Aztex were waiting for and they scored two unexpected goals in quick succession. This gave the opposition new hope and for a while the game was quite exciting. However the Rovers grimly held on to their slender lead as the match slowly petered out. COMPLETE AUTO.

Burnaby then scored three more goals to take a 4-0 lead Master bantam tournament before Dwayne Hodgeson, one of the very fine additions to our juvenile rep team this year, made it 4-1 on his goal from Ric Reddicopp and Bruce Fritzke at 2:26.

Dancy teamed up with Brown on defence, which seemed to keep the oposing team off guard, so that they never got a real clear shot. The halves - Bcrgsma, Behman and Alibhai ■ did a tremendous job in putting the ball up to our strikers, and were making plays that could only be bettered by the White Caps themselves.

Wenman returns from middle-east trip OTTAWA — Bob Wenman, M.P. (Fraser Valley West) led off the throne speech debate for the Progressive Conservative party last week. The Fraser Valley West M.P. delivered a major statement on the Middle East. As chairman of the Tory party's policy committee for that area he travelled to the Arab nations in March and just returned from a week of talks in Israel. Also in his remarks Wenman expressed "British Columbians' amazement and anger towards the Trudeau administration's handling of the economy." He said that while Pierre Trudeau has been in office government expenditures have skyrocketed 380 percent and the weekly Canadian wage only 210 percent. The Fraser Valley West M.P. chided the Liberals for their belief that some kind of federal budgetary program or federal rgulatory agency could bc designed to deal with almost any social or economic problem; as the "Liberal throw some money at the problem principle." Wenman said "Canadians want only one handout - the government's ' hand out of our pockets." For the third year, the Langley Prc-School Developmental Association is co-ordinating staff and facilities for the education of pre-school age children with learning disabilities or handicaps. The group was formed in April 1975 by concerned parents and community people who realized the need for a classroom to provide a stimulating environment for these children. What is a learning disability? It can bc an impairment of vision, hearing, or speech — motor or neural impairment — brain damage due to injury, illness, lesions of the brain, oxygen deprivation — or it can be a developmental lag of unknown cause. Each affect the normal function of the body and may contribute to learning disabilities. What is mental handicap? This is a general term covering those individuals consistently functioning at a delayed level according to of l°ve Clearbrook Photo Studio 2623 Cedar Park Shopping Centre CLEARBROOK • Phone 859-4222 the cultural norm for their chronological age. Causes may be genetic — ie, Down's Syndrome — or metabolic, hereditary, environmental or a lack of early stimulation. The program that the BPDA provides is for children between the ages of 2'/i and 6 years, who may have some type of development lag or handicap. They have found that the children with these special developmental needs have benefited from instruction during the pre-school years and that some have received a boost before entering elementary classes. The program is staffed with a qualified supervisor, assisted by two specially trained adults. The classroom has been located at Glenwood school and has moved this fall into the new Uplands elementary school near the Civic Centre. The schoolday starts at 9:15 daily and finishes at 1:15 during which the children have activities that increase their individual skills. Including specialized instruction, fine and gross motor skills, music, gym, snack and rest time. Outdoor activities include the school playground, swimming and frequent field trips. Field trips have included a library, park, shopping mall, farms, firehall. airport and the beach. Funding for these programs comes from the Department of Human Resources —- Day Care — parents fees, and community donations. A grant for Local Inititives Projects assisted in the transportation needs between the homes and the class as well as staff for classroom aides during the first two years. This term the funding is not available. An annual fund raising project in April raises monies for this program. The Association is having their third annual meeting on Monday. October 24th. The meeting will be in the Uplands school library starting at 8:00 p.m. Guest speaker will be Dr. Jerry Krumlik - Pediatrician - who has just opened a new practice in Langley and is familiar with the needs of these children.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL LOWER MAINLAND CABLEVISION SUBSCRIBERS Next week KIRO and CBUFT will trade places on your cablevision dial! The CRTC has requested all Lower Mainland cablevision companies to put CBC's French language station, CBUFT (now on cable channels 2 and 8) on a clear cable channel by November 1. Accordingly, we shall put CBUFT on cable channel 7 next Tuesday. (7 is now occupied by KIRO, Seattle) and move KIRO to cable channels 2 and 8. KIRO was selected because it has the smallest audience of all U.S. commercial stations, and because many of its programs are duplicated on other channels on the cablevision dial. Why is this change necessary? It has been a long-standing CRTC regulation that all Canadian TV stations must have the right to enjoy a clear, unimpaired channel on Canadian cablevision systems. As an experiment, the CRTC made an exception to its own rule and let us put CBUFT on the so-called "impaired" channels, 2 and 8, for the past 15 months. However, reception problems for CBUFT were still encountered in limited areas on some cable systems. The CRTC therefore had little choice but to conclude that its original regulation should be enforced. Why put the same station on both "impaired" channels?

Seniors help themselves and others By Ernest cluett ALDERGROVE — The meetings in Vancouver of the senior cilizens and O.A.P.O. action committees and the address by Mr. McClelland of all old age pensioners in B.C. should bring to the attention of ail senior citizens that nearly, if not all, the improvements in the welfare of our people has been brought about by the seniors themselves, through the resolutions to the annual conventions and suggestions to the action committees. These, after being processed, are presented to both levels of government and the amount of pressure exercised by a growing., membership of organized old age pensioners is apparent by the manv successes. As there are 230,000 senior citizens in B.C. and only 17,500 in O.A.P. organizations, it is evident that the small minority are working hard to make life livable for the large apathetic majority. The 23 percent of the population of Aldergrove and district who are senior citizens are urged to join an organization of their choice. Branch #71 of the O.A.P. will hold their regular meeting Friday, November 4 in their hall on 273 Street, just south of the Highway at 1:30 p.m. Come and join us. Don't forget the masquerade . dance to be held Saturday in.the hall commencing at 8 p.m. Costumes are not essential. The charge of SI.50 includes lunch. LANGLEY — Artist Colin Right- on returns here this week with a new collection of his recent paintings. The'success of his first exhibition here last year may make this an annual event. This year it is again to be held at the Langley Arts Centre, Friday to Sunday, October 28-30. Most paintings in this exhibition are recent works executed in watercolor, with a smaller section devoted to oils and acrylics. "It is the subject matter or idea I wish to project which determines the medium used." Righton says. By far the larger body of work is executed in watercolor, a medium he feels uniquely suited to expressing British Columbia's enigmatic atmosphere. "One of No unemployment here FORT NELSON - There are 800,000 unemployed in Canada and the local Canada Manpower office here had to send out for a request to supply nine labourers for local jobs. They were to be paid at $9.00 per hour, and there were not local people to fill the jobs. In fact, we hear that Fort Nelson is the only Manpower office with zero unemployment. -Fort Nelson News Meet your neighbours LANGLEY — Drop in and meet your neighbor, hear a guest speaker, or join in the keep fit or craft programs at the Brookswood civic centre.

O J the most striking qualities of our area for me as an artist," he says, "is the ever changing mood of the sky, clouds, mist and sunshine. which-tjn turn affect the appearance of the landscape, and objects on the ground. And of course the subleties of watercolor are ideally suited to capturing some of these qualities." Righton's subject matter, however, is not restricted to landscape. Figures sometimes insinuate themselves into his landscapes, but in some paintings it is the human form which plays the dominant role, and surroundings are only suggested or are absent altogether. Subjects range from a mist shrouded suggestion of primitive figures to a more formalized treatment of symphony musicians. Landscapes, figures and some abstractions make this an eclectic and fascinating collection unified by Righton's unique style. Righton generally steers clear of commercial galleries, preferring to stage his own exhibitions across the country. "Galleries arc useful to an artist wishing to be represented in an area not easily accessible to him," he says, "but 1 care greatly how my work is shown, and enjoy presenting my own exhibitions over which f maintain full control. Moreover sporadic sales through galleries arc rarely sufficient to sustain a professional artist who has no source of income other than that generated by sales of his work. Besides." he says, "I derive great pleasure from meeting the people who are going to own my paintings. And, in a sense, the atmosphere and environment of my exhibitions arc an extension of my creative activities." Following the opening night on • Friday. October 28 at 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. the show will be open Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon until 5:00 p.m. McClelland opens new clinic in Langley City LANGLEY — Health minister Bob McClelland officially opened the government's newest speech and hearing clinic here last Monday. The new clinic is situated at 5521 ■ 208 Street, and will service the area covered by the Central Fraser Valley Health Unit. The clinic contains sophisticated audiometric equipment, and will provide a complete range of audiological and speech pathology services. Patients with hearing impairment will be fitted from a selection of 116 different hearing aid devices together with earmolds, batteries and accessories, all rigidly quality-controlled by the government laboratory. The professional staff includes a speech pathologist, an audiologist a technician and a clerk. The clinic's program provides services to all ages, from the screening of newborn infants to the elderly, who may encounter speech or hearing problems due to the process of aging. The thrust of the programs is early identification, assessment, and treatment, aimed at prevention of further consequences of a speech, language or hearing problem. The health minister said that he is very encouraged by the reception with which this program has been received by the private sector. "The co-operation and support we have received from th support w__ have received from school district and the medical community in Langley, has been outstanding," said McClelland. "I would also like to express the government's gratitude to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of Canada, and the Royal Order of Purple, for their generous contribution. $20,000 of their $50,000 donation to the government for assistance to the hearing impaired, has been used to help in equipping the Langley clinic which has enabled us to bring this service to the Central Fraser Valley much earlier than we had anticipated. "It's teamwork" added the minister and local MLA. "and there is no way 1 can fully express the warm feeling of satisfaction that comes when groups of private citizens will assist and support the government in providing programs of benefit to so many." Vaccine arriving VICTORIA — Dehveries of influenza vaccines are now being made to local health units throughout the province, health minister Bob McClelland announced today. The vaccines protect against the two types of influenza expected to be prevelant this winter - A-Victoria and B-Hong Kong. Immunization is provided free of charge to al] persons 65 years of age and over, as well as to persons of any age with chronic cardiac, respiratory or kidney disease. In addition, McClelland said that a special shipment of vaccine suitable for children with chronic health problems has been secured from the U.S. and is also now being delivered to the health units. "The immunization clinics should commence this week", said the minister. "The times and places will be announced locally by the individual health units. Those who feel in need of immunization are urged to watch for these local announcements or contact their local health unit." Grants from ICBC VICTORIA - The city of Langley has received $34,982 and Matsqui district $30,597 from the Insurance Corporation of B.C. Grants to the two municipalities were made by the crown coporation in lieu of taxes for the claims centres in Langley and Clearbrook. Cheques from ICBC were equal to the amounts which would have been levied as property and business taxes if the insurance corporation had been a private business operation. Home 1.

Pretty pleased with yourself, I bet. You should be, providing you haven't forgotten to consider one very important factor...texture! Texture isn't limited to those soft inviting things that make you want to reach out and touch them - like fur coats and fluffy kittens. It's concrete walls, crystal glasses and Irish tweeds • visually as important to us for interest as the physical qualities they possess. Because we usually have so many other problems to concern us such as size, style, color, cost when it comes to planning a room, we seldom devote much if any attention to texture. Unfortunate, because texture cannot be added later, it's an essential ingredient, part of all your decisions and should be considered and incorporated as such. Textures too, have a way of making a room appear cold, unfriendly, impersonal or warm, intimate, sensual, cozy and inviting. In cold climates we appreciate deep pile carpets, heavy woven upholstery, plush drapery and it has little to do with the actual temperature of the room. For the same reason, tile floors, vinyls, leather, glass, satin, slate - despite whatever sumptuous qualities they may have, can still leave us "cold". Take a few moments to consider textures as well as colors and try them in combinations, emphasizing one or grouping them together for a collection of them. Or you might play one against another such as a plush area rug on a wood floor, silk cushions next to rough cotton, hand crafted pottery on a glass table, mirror against grasscloth, even a cactus next to a fern! Since most materials tend to "sit in the middle", look at those that offer more interest or variety in their weaves, grain or patterns. Dull surfaces can be mixed shiny ones, rough ones with smooth ones and soft ones with hard ones. And the greater variety you can achieve the more interesting the results. Once you're conscious of textures, you'll find yourself surrounded by them, and if you've picked some great favorites you especially like, it's a terrific place to be!

Crustlcss pumpkin pie is nutritious. The combination of protein- rich eggs, pumpkin, which is high in vitamin A, and milk and honey make for a dessert that is good for you as well as tasting good. Each slice contains 7 grams of protein - one-sixth the daily protein requirement for an average size female adult. This deliciou dessert can turn a light soup and salad supper into a complete, nutritious meal. This pie is not only nutritious, but is perfect for those who have difficulty making a crust, those counting calories and those who don't have much time to bake, lt can be made two or three days ahead of when you plan to serve it, if kept refrigerated. Because there is no crust, the number of calorics is halved. Each slice contains only 174 calories.

Prepared soups are manufactured in a bewildering array of different brands and varieties and are ready to serve in minutes. But there is something missing. Canned soups have a distinctive "soft" texture and flavor from the canning process while dry soups rarely seem to have the rich broth and body of old- fashioned homemade varieties. It is possible by using frozen and prepared ingredients, however, to capture much- of that homccooked flavor in a fraction of time it would take to make soup from scratch.

HHIH GARDBMING IN THEVMIEY Don Anson __m. I tell you, I'm sick Although rototilling is becoming the accepted practice for preparing a new vegetable garden, it still cannot beat the old method of double digging. Good handwork remains the finest method of preparing soil for garden crops. In small, limited areas it is still the most practical method to use. What exactly is double digging and how do you go about it? Firstly it should be undertaken in the fall when summer crops have been cleared away or earlier if the ground to be prepared is not carrying crops. If a portion of work is done each day, it is surprising how much ground can be covered. Start double digging by taking out a trench two feet wide. Use a measuring line and don't guess what you are doing. Topsoil from this trench will probably be from eight to 10 inches in the Fraser Valley. Place this topsoil only at the other end of the plot you are digging, including the loose soil or crumbs. You now have a trench about a foot deep with nothing but subsoil at the bottom. This should be thoroughly broken up with a garden fork, at the same time mixing in any rotted manure, compost and peat moss you have available. Now leave the first trench and start another alongside. Instead of carting away the topsoil this time, it is turned into the top of Ihe first trench. It should be turned upside down as you go along the trench. When you get down to subsoil it should be broken up and manured the same way as the previous trench. These operations are repeated trench by trench until the whole plot has been dealt with and the last trench is filled with topsoil from the first trench. Don't overdo the digging at first otherwise you can get backache very easily. Do a trench or two at a time when in the mood. If the ground to be broken up is old meadowland, the procedure is the same except that the turf should be skimmed off two inches deep first and placed grass-side down at the bottom of the trench after the subsoil has been broken up and manured. Don't bury deep rooting weeds such as dandelions and thistles. You can also leave the ground as rough as possible in the fall. Don't try to obtain a tilth as the frosts will quickly break down any lumps. Remove.any large rocks and stones but don't worry about the smaller ones as they actually help soil aeration and water retention. Get this work done in the fall and all you have to do in the spring is to hoe the surface, obtain a good tilth with a rake and sow your seeds. On very heavy land or one with many stones, this preparation must sometimes be done with a spading fork but the best tool for most gardeners is the square spade, not the long-handled shovel. Soil color largely depends on the( amount of humus and the amount of iron compounds in the soil. Soils that are red derive their color from the iron oxide that is present while the bluish color in soils is due to the presence of iron sulphide, lf the soil is very dark in color, it will contain an abundance of humus. If the color is flat and insipid looking there is probably little organic matter in the soil. Soil that is completely sterile means that it contains no living organisms. It is made sterile either by means of heat or by the application of chemicals. The latter is less effective as the chemicals have to permeate the soil very thoroughly. As we need living bacteria in the soil, the only real use for sterilized soil is to stop the fungus disease of damping-off when seeds are sown. Plants will not grow in an overbaked soil unless untreated soil has been mixed with it. Commercial soil mixes are very frequent soilless. They consist of large amounts of humus, peat moss and vermiculite or perlite. These are all light in weight and reduce shipping costs. Usually they have been heat sterilized and probably contain some fertilizer and limestone. However because of their fine state, they tend to remain wet too long after watering and arc likely to compact so that insufficient air is admitted forthe needs of tiny roots. Often they can be improved *by the addition of sand or coarse gravel. Plants should not remain long in these commercial mixes without the addition of fertilizer and a well balanced liquid fertilizer is probably the best to use.

I really had no idea of the true state of my poor health until August 30 when I discovered that I have been living on borrowed time for years. That was the day I received a free bonus gift from my book club, "The Complete Encyclopedia Of Diseases and Dreadful Symptoms.' - abrdiged edition. There, on the very first page - under 'Abdomen' was the horrendous proof that for years I have been suffering from a variety of diseases that will eventually prove fatal - if I live long enough. Imagine my shock to learn (still under the 'A's) that it is a well known fact among my friends that 1 am occassionally subject to ifts of Astimatism, a dreaded blurring ofthe vision. No wonder the dears have been so concerned and supportive whenever I leave a party. To be absolutely truthful I haven't yet made a determined study of the book, but I did read far enough to learn that I have suffered for years from such things as: Blackwater Fever, Bubonic Plague, Cholera, Dip* theria, Dyspepsia, and Elephantiasis - all in their most virulent forms. As soon as I'm feeling better. I'm going to try and discover where my husband hid the book and find out what else is wrong with me. For someone who spends as much time as I do looking up words (it's not easy when you can't spell) it sure took me a long time to discover that a dictionary can be fun. Cursing my ignorance one day, I plowed through my dictionary and was brought up short by the page heading PIG HEADED PILOT. What's this. I thought - anything to get me away from the business at hand. Curious, I riffled through the pages and discovered other gems that had escaped me through my years of riffling. BLOCKADE BLOOMER, what visions of a story that heading gave me. Or, how about DOUBLE-BARRELED DOVECOTE, DRAGGLE- DRAWERS, or FEROCIOUS FETISH. We all know one who can be called a HARDNOSED HARPY, and one can almost hear the weekend fisherman blaming his lack of catch on LACKADAISICAL LAKETROUT, no doubt due to a LUKEWARM LURE. I never did get the original piece written. I had so much fun looking at the headings, I forgot what 1 was doing. 1 have discovered that Medical Dictionaries are just as much fun, but I can't do anything about it right now - not until I find out where my husband hid ours.

These sex hormones are part of a whole family of compounds known as progestines. These hormones are produced in the body, but others can be treated or synthesized by the chemist. In clinical medicine, the hormones used have basically the same effect, whether synthetic or naturally produced. The Canadian Medical Association says it is important and reassuring to the patient to realize that these hormones are normally produced in the body. The use of these sex hormones is particularly evident in oral contraceptives and in treatment of the menopausal and postmenopausal woman. Because these uses have become so widespread during the past 10 years it is natural that the general public should display great interest in them. It should be stated, however, that estrogens in particular have been in use clinically for about 30 years, and therefore are not new by medical standards. Under certain experimental conditions, and in certain types of animals, il has been possible to initiate breast tumors by the use of estrogens. Naturally this has caused sonic concern on the part of physicians, but there is no established evidence that estrogens can cause cancer in a human. On the contrary, estrogen is often used in the treatment of breast cancer, and may cause the disease to shrink and remain inactive. The CM.A. reports that during the period of lime estrogens have been in use clinically, doctors have not detected any increase in the number of cases of breast or genital cancer. Published studies of women receiving oral contraceptives over long periods of time have shown no evidence of an increased number of cancers of either breast or genital organs.

The faculty members were Corrinne Azzara of the human services program, Diane MacLean, economics instructor, and Mimi Kisner of the student services department. All have been involved with the MSA in developing a self-help organization in which students who have made the transition from work or family responsibilities back to studies will help others contemplating the change. To date, the MSA has developed a mature students handbook and orientation program, and conducted a "needs survey" among mature students. ROAM AT HOME Stewart-On-The-Sea Stewart, B.C. B.C. Government, photo Birds may plot course with a 'compass By ROBERT C.COWEN Scientists have long thought that birds can use Earth's magnetism to find their way. Laboratory tests have shown that some birds can sense quite weak magnetic forces. And studies of free-flying migrants suggest there may indeed be some kind of avian "compass" at work. Now Frank R. Moore of Clem- son University in South Carolina has found what he calls "the first direct visual evidence" that small fluctuations in Earth's normal magnetism affect birds' navigation. He has analynzed data from spring and fall migrations taken for the years 1968 to 1974 by S. A. Gauthreaux Jr. These show the birds losing accuracy in orientation during magnetic storms. This recalls comparable disorientation of migrants caused by man-made interference with the natural magnetic field that was reported earlier in the year by Ronald P. Larkin and Pamela J. Sutherland of Rockefeller University in New York. In this case, the scientists traced migrating birds by radar as they passed through a low frequency antenna beam over the U.S. Navy's Wisconsin Test Facility (WTF). lt was part of environmental studies made for the controversial (and currently suspended) Seafarer project to build a submarine communication facility in northern Michigan. The WTF, located in Chequamegan National Forest, is the test site for the project. When the antenna was broadcasting, Drs. Larkin and Sutherland found that the weak electromagnetic disturbance seemed to be sensed by the birds and to affect their navigation. The researchers reported in Science that it looked as though "some birds can detect low-intensity magnetic changes within a few seconds and that...birds may make use of local (10 to 1,000 km) magnetic features ofthe Earth's surface...." Dr. Moore, who also described his research in Science, says there's still not enough evidence to tell whether birds use magnetic clues directly or whether the magnetism is linked to some other as yet unidentified effect that provides the actual guidance. Indeed, he notes, disturbing the magnetic field may simply upset the functioning of the bird's normal navigational system. In spite of his reservations, Dr. Moore's results do strengthen the evidence that birds have a "compass". Michael A. Bookman at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology reported in May (in Nature) that laboratory tests show homing pigeons have a sharp sensitivity to weak magnetism and respond quickly when a field is turned on. In this work, Dr. Bookman uses magnetism as the cue for finding food. The birds quickly learned to use that cue to pick out the right feeding box. Last year, Wolfgang and Ros- witha Wiltschko at the University of Frankfurt (Germany) showed that European robins can use what appears to be some sort of compass to map the stars. They worked under an artificial starry night sky in a room shielded from Earth's magnetic field. With no magnetism, the birds hopped and perched randomly. But when a magnet was switched on to simulate Earth's field, they hopped with a bias toward north. The birds then continued to do this even when the magnet was turned off. Somehow, they used their magnetic sense to mark the orientation of stars, thus turning the star field into a kind of map. Ornithologists have yet to demonstrate a similar "compass- using" ability in the field. But the proof of Dr. Moore and of Drs. Larkin and Sutherland that free- flying birds are acutely sensitive to magnetism may be a step in that direction. Christian Science Monitor By LYN HANCOCK Stewart, long an isolated town, can now be reached By British Columbia's newest adventure road, Highway 37, via the Alaska Highway or Yellowhead 16. Situated on a river-delta at the head of a fiord, the Portland Canal, it is 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean, 120 miles north of Prince Rupert and the most northerly ice-free harbor in Canada. With recent road access, Stewart will no longer be forgotten in its remote corner of B.C. It has a promising future as a major port for the mineral wealth, timber, hydro power and the recreational potential of its hinterland. And, a new destination for those who roam at home. Stewart's fortunes have been mainly dicated by mining. Gold was discovered in the 1890's by a few daring prospectors when the Klondike fever was at its peak. One fortune hunter, Rainey resisted the tempatation to pursue' the treasure further north and stayed in Stewart to stake out 40 acres on the delta. He discovered the famous Premier gold mine, 13 miles north of Stewart. In 1900, four brothers from Victoria, also on their way to the Klondike, came to prospect. One, John, stayed and staked land for a townsite and gave Stewart its name. Not long after, as a result nf gold and silver discoveries and the promotion of a railway from Edmonton, the town's population grew to 5,000. It then dwindled to 17 by 1920. Over the years it continued to fluctuate dramatically with mining and road-building hopes. With the decision in 1965 to open the Granduc copper mine, 30 miles to the north, its population increased againt to its present 2,500. Stewart is basically a company town with most of its employees residing in town rather than at the mine site. Though Granduc gave it a degree of permanence with a modern residential suburb, and apartments and town houses at reasonable rents, there are still many trailers and mobile homes. What makes these different in Stewart are their steep, shelving, aluminum roof shelters that indicate the region's heavy snowfall, up to 1,140 inches a season at Granduc. The town has a main street and some 20 commercial establishments close to the inlet. It is scenically superb. Ringed by steep, snow-capped mountains hung with glaciers, it abounds with opportunities for fishing, boating, skating and skiing. By making equiries at the local newspaper office you can probably arrange to charter a«small boat to cruise Portland Canal. Black bears, seals and seabirds are readily seen and dog salmon, in spawning colors, can be found in the extremely clear water during August. The most distinctive building in town is the old, yellow firehall built back in 1910. A few years later the whole town turned oUt to watch it being moved a couple of blocks by block and tackle. Now it is being turned into a museum. The traveller coming by road will appreciate the many new buildings and improved facilities — a hotel, several motels, restaurants, a gas station and a campground ... all unexpected in a settlement this far off the usual beaten track. The traveller by plane, daily out of Prince Rupert by Trans Provincia^Air, will appreciate the town's backdrop — miles of frozen ice waves leaping from the Cambria snowfields. Despite its amenities and both work and recreation opportunities, Stewart seems to appeal more to the traveller than many of the residents. According to the locals, the turnover in population is high. It is hard to see why — as those that roam at home will discover for themselves when they get there.

YOUR GENERAL PAINT HEADQUARTERS The Aldergrove Star 3rd section f WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26.1977 1C Cattle fodder grows in artificial pastures By BRAD KNICKERBOCKER SAN FRANCISCO - Picture this: a herd of sleek, fat cattle, happily munching fresh .green spring grass thai comes — notfrom vast pasturcland — but from a machine that looks like a large refrigerator and fits inside a cow barn. Sound a little futuristic? In fact, such "grass machines" already are being developed, and initial results show that the resulting harvest can bc more nutritious for cows, pigs, sheep, horses and more economical for farmers. The theory behind this emerging spaccage farming idea is not new. It is hydoponics, the growing of plants without soil. Professional horticulturists and backyard gardeners have been mixing water and nutrients and experimenting with controlled light and temperature to raise salad vegetables and other plants this way for hundreds of years. But so far, large-scale farming, especially the hydroponic culiva- tion of field crops for feeding animals, has not been technically possible or economically worthwhile. Now, say "grass machine" makers and a growing number of enthusiastic farmers, that is changing. Cows like It - farmers like results Richard Matherson of Concord, California, is one such believer in a radically changed future for commercial agriculture. A pioneer in freeze-drying, dehydration, and mincrowave food processing. Dr. Matherson now is building "environmental growth systems," as he calls them. The smallest unit (4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet) produces up to 200 pounds of barley grass from 24 pounds of seed in just one week. The seed is placed in six trays to Ceramic Art Lessons Grecnware 6c Supplies, Children's Classes, Competitive Prices!!! S56-t697 Certified Duncan Ceramic Teacher germinate for three days. Then the trays are moved toward the back of the squre frezerlike box where they are exposed to more light. Meanwhile, the temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, and nutrient balance are carefully monitored and controlled. At the end of seven days — shazaam! The trays are filled with thriving bright green barley grass, 7 to 9 inches tall. Operated continuously, this unit can produce a ton of grass in 10 days. The largest model yields up to 800 pounds of grass a day, or about the same as 32 acres of irrigated pasture. Very important in these days of drought, machine grass needs less than one-fifth the amount of water necessary to irrigate pasture. Estimated costs per ton is $27 (including electricity, nutrients, and repairs) compared with alfalfa, which costs at least $60 a ton. Studies have shown that farm animals fed on "grass machine" barley (together with hay or straw for roughage) arc healthier and more productive. Chickens lay more eggs, sheep have more wool, pigs are larger and leaner and have larger litters, cows give more milk and put on weight faster. On a small ranch in northern California one farmer says her hogs are "crazy about it" — the grass machine barley they have eating for the past year. Although "the final test will be when we butcher them," she adds, the sows have put on weight and had larger litters since the change in the diet. When the family fed some cows as usual and others on machine grass "there was no comparison in the milk they gave and the way the calves looked." Although it remains to be seen whether grass machines will be able to support massive feed-lot cattle operations, boosters say such use is just around the corner. Seed trays that are automatically filled and move along tracks now are being developed, along with methods for larger-scale prevention of the mold and fungus that used to be a problem with the small units. Malcolm Lentz. president of Hydroculture. Inc., in Arizona, points to increasing land and feed costs and especially the growing need for water conservation as reasons why hydroponic units like his "magic meadow" should catch on with farmers. "Probably the biggest potential is in the Mideast," he says. Hydroponic grass growers already are being marketed in countries with limited farmland or arid climate.

FRASER WAY PHONE: 859-8015 Credits for off programs of FVC ABBOTSFORD — Fraser Valley College has become the first college in B.C. to grant credits for its full spectrum of programs. In a step termed by Principal Dr. Larry Blake "a significant step forward," college council last week approved a policy that related credits to length of study in university transfer, career, vocational, and community education courses. A related policy provides for the awarding of a diploma in liberal arts and sciences for '. students who complete a mini- ; mum of 60 credits of university transfer work. Students who complete a two- year career program will receive a diploma in applied arts and sciences. Students who complete 60 credits from any course area can ; receive a diploma in general studies. Certificates will be awarded to a student who completes a prescribed program of more than 10 credits, and those who complete a college foundations program can receive a college foundations certificate. For some programs, this certificate will be regarded by the college as equivalent to secondary school graduation. Students who complete a course or program of less than 10 credits will bc entitled to a statement of program completion. Other policies adopted Monday night re-affirmed the "open door" admissions stance of the college, but point out that this policy assures admission to the college, but not to all courses; where pre-requisites are necessary to assure a reasonable chance of success, the standards for admission are to be ' 'objective and provide a basis for reliable, Vocational building now underway ABBOTSFORD — Fraser Valley College has been given the green light for vocational training facilities at Abbotsford. The new building will be built adjacent to the existing Abbotsford campus on Marshall Road near Riverside Drive. It will comprise 23,700 square feet, of which about 5,000 will be used for fine arts classes. The balance will be for welding, mechanical and construction classes and shops, and vocation program office space. About four months will be needed to complete the Abbotsford project, which requires the lessor to build a complete new building. Facility should be in use by the early months of next year. unbiased assessment." In such cases, the college will attempt to offer a student the courses needed to satisfy the prerequisites. Instructors may, after consultation with a prospective student, waive some or all pre-requisites. Grade point averages will not be used at FVC, except to determine the dean's list of distinguished students. Students will be encouraged to limit their workload to IS credits per semester or less, and will not bc allowed to register for more than 18 credits per semester without prior approval.

Langley Municipality's growth rate is almost double the provincial average which creates many problems for your elected officials and staff alike. It Is Imperative that your Council plan the future of Langley now. Therefore, your Council will be unveiling a Comprehensive Community Plan before the end of this year. A great deal of time has been spent this past year on the servicing needs of our community. We are pleased to state that sufficient wells have been dug to meet all the water requirements in Aldergrove, Fort Langley, Wllloughby, Walnut Grove and several other areas for many years ahead. We will be sinking additional wells this winter in the Brookswood area to ensure that another water shortage will not happen again. Additionally, we will construct another one million gallon reservoir In Brookswood this winter. As Mayor, I will be recommending to Council that additional monies be set aside for sidewalk construction In 1978. The safety of our children walking to and from school must be a priority item for your Council. Additionally, I will also recommend that the Parks and Recreation Budget be substantially increased next year. Many thanks to all our volunteer workers who have done so much this past year to make Langley a better place In which to live. As your Mayor, I personally invite all of our citizens to attend Council meetings which are open to the public to see your Council at work. This has been a most rewarding year for all of us on Council, for which we thank you. A special thanks to all of our Municipal employees whose cooperation and dedication this past year to the community of Langley is most appreciated. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE DRIEDIGER Mayor Protection Committee In reporting the activities of the Protection Committee, I must first most sincerely, express my pride In, and admiration of, the R.C.M.P. and the men of our Volunteer Fire Departments. POLICE PROTECTION This year, we added five additional men, and under the leadership of Inspector R.W. Galbraith, the N.C.O.'s and men of the different police departments, have done much in their efforts to protect you and your property. Programmes to supplement the usual duties of police protection were implemented by our police detachment. Programmes such as "Neighbourhood Watch" where positive Identification of your property is done, has lessened household robberies. "Commercial Watch" which is about to be Introduced, is designed to help businessmen defend against breaking and entering, shop lifting, bad cheques, and those things that add to the cost of doing business, and therefore your cost of purchasing. The "Block Parents" programme Identifies homes that offer a refuge and security for any person, particularly children, who are frightened for any reason. "Point Your Way to Safety", which is currently being Introduced in an effort to reduce pedestrian/vehicle accidents, has met with excellent success In other centres and has enjoyed a well deserved reputation as one of the best safety programmes of its kind. It remains for parents to stress this programme to the drivers In the hou3e, as well as to their children, if we are to make this programme an equally successful endeavour in our Municipality. "Youth and Family Services" programme was introduced by the R.C.M.P. and partially funded by the Municipality. It is designed to prevent young people" from becoming 'juvenile delinquents', and going on into juvenile, then more advanced crimes. A "Canada Works Study" was done to Identify reasons for 'juvenile delinquency'. It was also designed to propose possible alternatives for young people to expend their energies, rather than in crime or vandalism. A complete program was developed, to be introduced to Grades 1 - 12 within the schools, by the R.C.M.P. The foregoing programmes were made possible by the efforts of a number of wonderful people - volunteer citizens - without whom there would not be enough manpower to accomplish what was done. Vandalism, while still an on-going problem, is curbed to a large degree by the patrols of our Auxiliary Police Force. Under the direction of the R.C.M.P., a group of well trained men serve In a most difficult job and accomplish much. To them, on your behalf, I say a sincere thank you. The last element in the protection of you and your property, Is the By-law Enforcement Officer. His efforts at all hours of the day and night have reduced vandalism, and he has successfully concluded all by-law infractions his job has called on him to deal with. A very valuable individual in our protection force. No police force by itself can successfully protect all people. Particularly, those of us who make no effort to protect ourselves. I strongly urge every person In this Municipality to take what steps in self protection they can, and to co-operate with our law enforcement people in every way. FIRE PROTECTION In the case of fire protection, the homes and property, and Indeed, the lives of the people In this Municipality are in the very capable hands of a group of well trained, dedicated competent people - our Voluntary Firemen. These men answer calls at all hours of the day and night In all weather and keep themselves in a continuous state of readiness. They practice weekly to up-grade their skills and keep abreast of changing methods. The past sunny summer, which was so enjoyable to most people, created a very dry condition and added greatly to the burden of these men. I have no hesitation in saying that because of their skills and the speed with which they answered every call, In many instances they prevented what could have developed into a major fire of near uncontrollable proportions. Because of these men and their dedication you can rest easier at night knowing you are guarded by them. 200th Street Is being widened to a four lane thoroughfare so it is necessary to move #5 Fire Hall. It will be relocated on Municipal property on 36th Avenue. Plans for the new building and moving of all equipment and other steps necessary to this move are being developed. To better serve the Otter area, a new Fire Zone, #7, was created from part of Zone #3 and Zone #6, and lying between both those zones. Volunteer firemen were recruited, and president, slate of officers and a Fire Chief were elected. These volunteer people then built their own new hall on 248th Street (Otter Road) to operate from, and, mainly with their own labour. It is one of the best fire halls in the Municipality and is a great credit to the men of Zone #7 who gave up so much of their time to volunteer their services. Until Zone #7 becomes active, and an equipment budget is set for it, the men will train and assist #3 and #6 zones with the equipment that can be gathered for them this year. New equipment, proper to the needs of Zone #7, will be purchased as quickly as possible. Again, this Municipality owes a vote of thanks to a group of men who volunteer to undertake your protection in a job that demands a high degree of skill and dedication. Time after time they risk their lives for you and your property. I am very proud indeed to have been associated with them. DOG CONTROL The problem created by people who refuse to control their animals is continually with us. Mr. Tom McMath, with whom the Municipality has a contract to handle this situation and operate a small animal pound, has done a good job. In an effort to more thoroughly cover troubled areas, Mr. McMath has recently added another unmarked vehicle and additional staff. With radio control of his vehicles now up-graded, we can expect more relief for people whose property is being destroyed by stray and free running animals. The preceding, together with my responsibilities as an ex-officio member of all other committees, has made this a very full and challenging year. The frustration of this office is, to a degree, compensated for by the successes all of us on your Council have enjoyed in serving the people of this Municipality. Respectfully submitted, J. R. LINDSAY Alderman Parks and Recreation Earlier this year, the local press was very critical of Council's decision to employ the Recreation Director on a full time basis instead of continuing to share this employee with the City of Langley. I am sure there were many residents of the Municipality who thought, on reading the press reports, that their Council was acting In spite towards the City Administration. In fact, Council made this decision only because of the realization that with the tremendous Increase in the population of the Municipality the demands on our Recreation Department and our Parks Department were Increasing to the point where full time direction of these departments was absolutely necessary. Time has proved that Council did make the right decision in hiring Darch Oborne on a full time basis as the Manager of the Municipality's Parks and Recreation Department. This department is now one of the most forward and progressive departments within the Municipal Organization. Recreation programmes are provided year round on a seasonal basis catering to every age group from toddlers to senior citizens. The programmes are offered at minimum cost and are staffed with fully qualified supervisors or instructors. The current fall session offers 50 programmes, and is open to every resident of the Municipality. The Parks and Recreation Department has established, and maintains, a direct and continuous line of communication, cooperating with the School District, and with the Recreation Departments of Langley City and neighbouring Municipalities, designed to improve the standard and efficiency of our own operation. You will notice a new look to our Municipal Parks In 1978. Council authorized the funding this year to up-grade our parks. Under the most capable direction of the Parks Foreman, Mr. Herb Jones, a systematic programme of turf maintenance Is under way. This fall a tree pruning programme will commence. Work has been progressing throughout the year to up-grade the playing fields and ball diamonds in all parks. Council is most appreciative of the interest and cooperation offered by the Lions Clubs in Fort Langley and Aldergrove. Fort Langley Park and Aldergrove Park now boasts attractive new change room and concession facilities, thanks to the contribution and efforts of the members of the respective Lions' Clubs in these communities. Our Parks and Recreation Department Is interested in working with individuals, groups or clubs in the furtherance of recreation In Langley Municipality. We Invite you to discuss your Ideas and offer your suggestions to Mr. Oborne and the Parks and Recreation Commission. Respectfully submitted, J. G. LEE Alderman Planning This has been an extremely busy year In all respects. Subdivision has, to date, created 422 new lots. Twenty-one (21) Land Use Contracts have been issued covering either residential units or subdivision for residential units. In addition three (3) contracts are In progress. Other Land Use Contracts were lndustrlal-4 and Pubs-1. Underhill, McLellan and Associates have completed their Walnut Grove Study and this is being analyzed in order that policies and priorities may be established. Progress has been made toward solving the problems of existing businesses along the Fraser Highway and the outlook is hopeful. The Advisory Planning Commission has nearly finished their study and proposals for updating the Murrayville Zoning By-Law. During the year Council resolved to accept more mobile home parks. As a result Land Use Contracts are being prepared for three applicants and one is pending. Building is continuing at an accelerated pace with permit value exceeding this time last year. Total to end of September, $26,091,254 as compared to $25,267,414 in 1976. Respectfully submitted, E. L. NUNDAL Alderman Public Works The 1977 Public Works Budget Is as follows: MAINTENANCE Gravel Roads $120,000 Paved Roads 219,500 Road Sides 535,000 Signs 101,000 Bridges & Large Culverts 20,000 General Drainage 75,000 Frost, Snow & Storm Drainage 70,000 Miscellaneous 35,426 Total Maintenance $1,175,926 CAPITAL WORKS New Construction Reconstruction 8.

Recapping 208th Street from 44th Avenue south to 36th Avenue and 208th Street north from 72nd Avenue to 83rd Avenue completed. A section of 240th Street on the programme probably will be delayed until next year. In addition, 4 miles of gravel roads were flush coated. Ditching, shouldering and general maintenance are on-going along with the major reconstruction projects. MAJOR PROJECTS COMPLETED UNDER DITCHING THIS YEAR Bertrand Creek in Aldergrove from 32nd Avenue southeast to 271st Street. Under Ditches and Watercourses, 208th Street to 206th Street north of 24th Avenue. Two large culverts installed on 56th Avenue and 60th Avenue east of 248th Street to accommodate McLeod Ditch Drainage. Storm Drainage installed on 216th Street and 48th Avenue south and west of Murrayville. Ditch drainage for 224th Street between 64th Avenue and 56th Avenue westerly along 61st Avenue. Considerable time has been required this year by our Sign crews changing road signs to Metric. Scales were Installed at our Garbage Disposal Pit on Jackman Road in June and have already proven to be a wise Investment in the regulation and operation of this service. MAJOR EQUIPMENT PURCHASED THIS YEAR: Gradall, Backhoe, Track Loader, Diesel Tandem Gravel Truck. (We are continually up-grading our equipment as the need arises). I will close this report by saying that there have been a number of various major projects completed by our Board of Works this year. Respectfully submitted, W. C. BLAIR Alderman Finance This department is unlike any other in the Municipal administration in that it covers all aspects of our affairs, and is in direct communication with all departments, and has an overview of, and an audit of, everything that goes on in our Municipality. This department this year has been responsible for the collection and expenditure of a budget of $15,723,348.00. Our assessment roll showed a growth over the previous year of 6.96% and to provide the services required by budget as approved by Council, the mill rate for general purposes was increased by 2.66 mills, with an additional .44 for debt payments. This year, we included with your tax notice, statistical information showing the source and application of Municipal funds for 1977. In 1978, the assessment roll for the Municipality will be on a basis of actual market value to be applied for general taxation in the manner as has been decreed by the Provincial Cabinet for schools, etc. purposes (i.e. 15% of market value on residential properties; 25% of market value on commercial-business properties and 30% of market value on manufacturing properties.) At this time, we do not see this as making any significant changes in groups of assessments, therefore, not much change in the overall assessment roll total. However, the impact of 'market value' can have some significant changes to individual assessments within groups. It is prudent to study your assessment notice carefully, and compare it to previous years notices - but much more important this year. The Provincial Government is setting up two Courts of Revision in 1978 rather than one as in the past, indicating that they expect more appeals than usual. The Assessment Commission will be putting out a lot of publicity Information before the notices are sent out. It has been a privilege for me to have served as Chairman of this committee, and I take this opportunity to acknowledge the courtesy and efficiency of the staff of the of the finance department. Respectfully submitted, A. T. BROOKS Alderman Administration and Employees Relationship Committee The addition to the Municipal Hall, which was officially opened at the end of April, 1977, has given us much needed space, and allowed our staff to provide more efficient service to the public. The administrative organization has been streamlined with four Directors (Engineering, Finance, Planning and Administration) reporting to the Municipal Administrator, who is responsible to Council for the co-ordination of the work of all departments. With the very rapid growth in population, we must remain flexible and able to change with changing times. Therefore, Council will soon be looking at changes in the number, and structure, of committees and subcommittees that are needed to efficiently handle the increasing work load. The major portion of work relative to Labor Relations Committee has been the annual wage negotiations with the Union. This year, we held a total of nineteen (19) meetings working out a fair and amiable settlement with the representatives of our respected labour force. It has been a privilege to chair these Committees. Respectfully submitted, A. T. BROOKS Alderman Health and Welfare As Chairman of this Committee, I have represented Council at the bi-monthly meetings of the Central Fraser Valley Union Board of Health. Also, I have acted as Council representative at the Provincial conference at Vernon at the time of the Union of B.C. Municipalities Convention. The matter that takes up the major portion of time in this Committee is liaison between property owners and the Inspectors of Health over septic fields. Most of the properties that had good percolation potential have been built on, resulting in many of the applications for septic system permits being rejected, because the soil will not support a septic field. It is a continuing problem, and as yet no easy solution has been found. The Minister of Health is well aware of the problem and his staff is looking into an alternative, so far without success. I have enjoyed the opportunity to have served on this Committee. Respectfully submitted, A. T. BROOKS Alderman Utilities and Enterprises ALDERGROVE SEWER AREA In 1976, a five year programme for extension of sewer lines in Aldergrove was established. In 1977, this programme was followed, and lines were Installed from 34th Avenue and 272nd Street, 264th Street and 33A Avenue, and 262nd Street and Fraser Highway to connect to the existing system. The five year programme is advancing ahead of schedule due to the general development of Aldergrove. Normal maintenance of the system, and Installation of service connections was carried on throughout the year. ALDERGROVE WATER AREA The continued growth of Aldergrove has necessitated an up-grading of the water system. This will be an on-going requirement. In 1977, a successful groundwater test drilling programme was carried out with the results that a 200 U.S. gallon per minute well has been drilled at 32nd Avenue and 272nd Street and will be on line before year end. Also a production well has been drilled at 25th Avenue and 272nd Street for development in 1978. In addition, when new sub-divisions have gone In, we have been oversizing various lines to conform to the recommendations of a 1976 report on the required main grid for Aldergrove. Normal maintenance of the system and service connection installations have been carried on throughout the year. BROOKSWOOD WATER SYSTEM General maintenance and service connection installation have been carried on throughout the year with a few minor extensions within the system. One well pump was replaced. FOREST KNOLLS WATER SYSTEM The Nash Water System was acquired and amalgamated with the Forest Knolls Water System, improving the service to the residents of the Nash Sub-division. NORTH WEST LANGLEY SEWER AREA The new Treatment Plant in North-West Langley was completed and put on line. In addition, the installation of the sewage collection system was completed so that the Industrial Area now has full sewer services. The official opening is scheduled for October 28th, 1977. NORTH WEST LANGLEY WATER SYSTEM A one million gallon reservoir was constructed for water shortage for the North-West Langley area, primarily to provide fire protection to the Industrial Area, but capable of supplying Fort Langley and other developments. The reservoir is connected by a 16 inch line to the Industrial Area, and a 14 inch line to the production well site near the Salmon River on 88th Avenue. Two wells capable of producing 2500 Imperial gallons per minute (combined) have been developed and put into service. FORT LANGLEY WATER AREA Tenders for installation of a water distribution system for complete servicing of Fort Langley have been received. This system Is prepared to include the existing Copper Beech System, and receive its supply from the North-West Langley Water System. WILLOUGHBY AREA A programme of test drilling was carried out in the Willoughby Area. Although first results were disappointing, final results have led to a decision to call for tenders for a production well to be drilled in the vicinity of 206th Street and 68th Avenue. It Is expected this will be part of the supply for proposed development south of 68th Avenue, and eventual extension Into the South Willoughby Area. AIRPORT The Airport has continued to be one of the busiest In Canada. Maintenance has continued as usual. HOSPITAL SEWER SERVICE Arrangements have been made with the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District to accept effluent from Langley Memorial Hospital, Senior Secondary School and the Pentacostal Church, in co-operation with the City of Langley. Design of the system is complete and will be tendered shortly. It has been a busy, progressive year for services within the Municipality of Langley, and I have enjoyed the challenge and privilege of being Chairman of the Utilities and Enterprises Committee.

What??? ji } i mmmmmmmmmmm 10c THE STAR, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26,1977 Literacy is making a comeback American colleges are back to trying to teach students how to write. To one who hasn't kept an eye on college education since the 1950's, this might sound absurd. To someone who left the campus in the 1960's it may sound retrogressive. In the latter period, teaching "writing" was not relevant. But not today. Many of the places that in the 1960's permitted students to ignore the niceties of English diction have taken several steps backward. Dozens of universities have set up special "writing skill centres." Classes to teach engineers, chemists, business majors, and pre-law students to write straightforward declarative sentences are springing up around the country. At Cornell University there even is a "dean of writing'". ' The change is an acknowledgement of a serious learning -problem, the same kind of problem that has forced "back to basics" in elementary and secondary schools. Also, it is one of the hottest educational fads going. "The issue emerged about four years ago. Basically, there was considerable unhappiness with the quality of student writing," says Dr. Malcolm Sillars, dean of humanities at the University of Utah. "We came out of the late 60's with the highly permissive notion that there shouldn't be required courses, that students should be free and all that. "Many of us were undercover in those days," he said. "Now we're coming out. I think it's all part of a broader movement back to more basic requirements and more traditional approaches." While moving "backward," the colleges are trying to sound progressive. The old terms "remedial writing" and "bonehead English" are out. So are English composition classes. "Skill development centres," "tutoring labs" and "drop-in centres" are in. So is "peer tutoring." At the University of Maryland, which required 12 semester hours of English for graduation IS years ago, students now must take only ' one three-hour class. Those who score low on the verbal sections of entrance exams are subjected to something called "modular learning", which concentrates on things like how to write paragraphs. At the University of Wisconsin, they're using video tapes to teach how to write research papers. And a consortium of Ivy League colleges is toying with the idea of teaching English composition through computer terminals. The programs all are aimed at correcting a basic problem: students are not writing as well as they used to. "The writing decline is not only marked, but it's massive," says Dr. Robert Farrell, dean of writing at Cornell University. "This is not a national problem, it's an international one. My colleagues in Sweden and Germany are experiencing the same thing we are here." "We get a lot of people who come ot us burnt-out cases. They're convinced they can't write." he says. "The most encouraging thing is students realize they need these skills and they want to do something about it. It's not that they're stupid or incompetent. It's just they haven't been given the opportunity to write." The reading and writing ability of high school juniors and seniors has dropped steadily since 1964, according to standardized test scores. Almost everyone has a theory as to why. One is that high schools stopped teaching writing. "Careful writing has about gone out of style," declared a recent report on the decline in socres by high school seniors taking the scholastic aptitude test, which is used by colleges in determining admissions. Enrolment in basic English courses in California high schools, the report said, dropped 10 per cent between 1971 and 1974; enrolment in English composition classes plummeted 77 per cent. "Increasing reliance in colleges and high schools on tests requiring only the putting of X's in boxes contributes to juvenile writing delinquency," the report said. The full force of the decline took years to sink in at colleges, many of which were contributing to the problem. Reports of students being worse rather than better writers after four years in college are widespread. At the University of South Carolina, writing lab director Larry Hewland reports that scores of juniors, seniors and graduate students come to his lab who haven't written a report or term paper in three or four years. When the university dropped requirements in traditional subjects like history and philosophy in the early 1970's, professors in those fields found it hard to attract students, he says. So they watered down the standards. Written papers were expendable. Ironically, the university's writing lab, which offers one-on-one tutoring, has grown rapidly. So AC is COMING! I HORCA CONSTRUCTION LTD. Custom Building Horst Schubert 856-2880 HOME CONSTRUCTION Additions & Renovations Farm Buildings have labs at other universities. "It's something fashion has dictated all over the country." Howland says. Each college seems to have its own twist. Cornell has a writing workshop for freshmen who have severe writing problems, writing seminars for more advanced students, and a drop-in centre at the school library where students can get advice on how to write papers. Its business, urban planning, engineering and hotel management departments have new writing classes of their own. With help from the National Endowment for the Humanities, which is spending $l-million on writing programs this year, Rutgers, the Universities of Colorado and Vermont and eight California colleges have launched programs to teach high school teachers how to teach writing. These are modelled after a highly successful bay area writing project at the University of California at Berkeley. It's hard to tell how long the campus writing boom will last. Already signs of wear are showing. Few of the new writing instructors, for instance, have been given full-time, tenured jobs, and the long-term status of their programs is uncertain. "It's all great as far as it's gone, but it's not far enough," says Carol Freeman, director of writing at the University of California at Santa Cruz. "The most important thing is that we have to make a long-term commitment to writing." From an article in the Washington Post. Inuit tell polar to beat it The giant Polar Gas pipeline project has been ordered to remove Its local office from a remote Arctic village of Inuit (Eskimos) who live in the path of the pipeline. The resolution of the Baker Lake council calling for Polar Gas to close down its small office in the village's only hotel was passed one week ago but it took a week for the firm's head office in Toronto to receive the notice. Sources in Baker Lake In the Northwest Territories 400 km north of Mani- -oba said the resolution grew out Of increasing Inuit fears the pipeline will destroy their way of life and hunting habits. Canadiana in a neat package The 1977 Canadian Frontier Annual — hot on the heels of the very successful 1976 version —■ comes packed once again with exciting and true accounts of Canadian history. For thoe of you who don't remember, the Annual format was adopted in 1976 after four years of quarterly production as a magazine. This year, the Annual presents 23 stories from Canada's history, researched, written and presented by authors from across the country. As well, an extensive book review section looks at many current editions that deal with an historial vein. The B.C. Boomtown Phenomenon reviews the rise and fall of many of British Columbia's boomtowns — creations of a gold-rush or some other mineral find — that died when the raw materials ran out and the townspeople moved on. Brisebois: Forgotten Mountie Pioneer traces the career of one of the original Mounties — now all but forgotten. The epic voyages of Nova Scotian Joshua Slocum are also found in the book. An excellent study of early art carries the tale of Manitoba's Peter Rindisbacher, Red River's Artist in Residence. The Grouse Creek War pits miner against miner in an account of a small-scale war that erupted over a few feet of gravel in B.C.'s gold-rush days. Several books have been written recently about the Beothuck Indians of Newfoundland, a peace-loving race completely wiped out by the white man. Nonosabasut and Demasduit: A beothuck Tragedy is the Annual's contribution to the chronicling of this sad act of genocide. And so much more awaits the readers of the 1977 Canadian Frontier Annual — continuing the tradition of providing interesting accounts of Canadian history, accurately writteji. Those who enjoy history, from the student to the hobbyist, will find Canadian history some of the best there is.
