We love it when we can find the news stories for unlabelled photos in our Aldergrove Star collection like this one from the 1993 baseball season.

Lots to do this weekend and in the coming weeks - be sure to check if registration or tickets are required. The Full Pull The Rolling Barrage fundraising dinner is almost (or is) sold out, so if you've been putting off getting a ticket, now is probably the time to try and get one.

Then and now - NK McDonald Lumber sat on the northwest corner of 244 Street and Fraser Highway.

An important first step in getting our '54 Aldergrove Volunteer Fire Department truck back on the road was new tires because the old tires were vulcanized & two were flat, one with a gaping hole because summer heat caused it to explode. That has now happened thanks to the generosity & support of Fountain Tire Aldergrove, Watts Tire Service & Repair, Township of Langley Firefighters, Dennis Quiring & QuiringTrucking & Gravel Sales. This would not have happened without all of you, and we are very grateful your support.

Next up is her yearly bath and then comes the mechanical, interior and exterior beauty work.

Not the greatest photo from the digitized microfilms of early Star editions, but congratulations are due the 1966 Owl Patrol on their winning bridge building skills.

If anyone in the photo wants a better copy of the photo, we haven't come across the original photo in our collection, but we do have the original newspaper at the museum.

Letter mail service during WW2 was sent by Airgraph, a 1941 innovation in letter delivery. Our own postmaster, George MacDonald was a veteran of WW1 who also served in WW2. He was stationed overseas, serving in the Army's postal service.

We haven't conducted a lot of research yet into Aldergrove's Loyal Orange Lodge, but we believe through stories we've read that the Orange Hall at this time was located at the eastern end of downtown, near where the Elks Hall stood. The Lodge later moved out to Otter Road.

When it was census time 105 years ago with not just one form, some folks had 2 or more forms to complete and there was even a contingency if people were away (which explains why there could be so many errors in a census return). Five more years and we get to have a look at the 1941 census returns. Hopefully the enumerator had legible handwriting and a quality pen. =)
