THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN

The Lower Fraser Valley

One day early in June we vis- ited that part of the Lower Fraser Valley which lies between Mission City and New Westmlnlster. From Vancouver we followed the Long- heed Highway through the rapid- ly growing municipality of- Burn- aby. Huge stumps in a few places are all that remain of the giant trees that once covered this area. There are stands of younger trees. and most of the homes are sur- rounded by trees. flowering shrubs and lawns. Yellow broom. brought many years ago from Scotland. is used extensively with other flow- ering shrubs for decoration. Across Burnaby and beyond it has taken possession of many waste areas and filled them with its glorious colour. Its growth was much more vigorous and taller than that of its near relative. the gorse. that we have seen on the moors of Scotland.

As we neared Malllardvllle we passed the great Fraser Mills. with their booms of Immense logs. along the shore of the Fraser. The Lougheed Highway turned north through Essondale. the large men- tal hospllal farm. famous for its prize winning and high record llolsieln cattle and outstanding Clydesdale horses. Our attention was drawn to a remarkable stone wall across the front of this hos- pital property. This had 'heen built many years ago. without mortar. by an old master mason. a patient who died before it was completed. His part stands as

ly nations There is always the threat of over-production, he says. Viewed as a whole though. he thinks the mink ranching picture looks good That. mink account for

nual volume of furs at retail. In the United States ranchers who know how to produce fine quality mink are making money Being good businessmen and perhaps for-

occasionally ask themselves this question Can mink continue to be the number one fur of American women? How long will it be until some other fur takes the lead? As all fur farmers know there have been cycles when first one fur then another ride larlty..

It was at I-Ianey on Sunday, June 21st that the Maple Ridge Senior-Junior High School. valued at S500,000.00 was burned. This was a 24-room school with 1200 pupils.

stones and boulders. It was diffi- cult to believe that salmon every year pass that way to their spawning pools, but the soothing pleasant sound of rushing water could be heard both without and within the white farm cottage. O O I

The hillside pasture was well watered and there was an abund- ant growth of white clover and pasture grasses. Fifteen Jerseys formed the dairy herd and among the foundation stock was one with a crumpled horn that gave promise of being an outstanding dairy cow.
