| STEREO A vu." CANADIAN WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION MEMBER OF THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE TR hy { Corman Birth Control Lately there have been many articles in magazines and sometimes in newspapers whose subject is birth control. Most of these articles are written by people who are convinced that over-population is a greater and more immediate threat than even Communism. How serious is the problem? About 50 million people are being added to the world every 12 months. Within 40 years there will be more than six billion people on the earth. In order to maintain pre- sent standards of living, we will have to double the world's capital investment, the schools, the streets, the transportation and every other facility as well as food and clothing. In 40 years we will have begun to reap the most serious conse- quences of serious over- population--gener- "al human misery, vice, poverty, crime and war -- for these are the effects which always accompany over-population. The problem exists. What can we do about it? Last September, Sweden and Denmark Fundamentally Speaking In an interesting, well-written article in the April 28 Post, Calvin Linton answers the question, What Happened to Common Sense? This highly literate, provocative article closes with observations well worth ~ our serious thought. "The deepest human capacity, the one without which man becomes less than man, is man's power to love--whether it be beauty, truth, his fellow creatures or. God. Man is not mere matter. His search for that which satisfies his inner- ~ most yearning for order and meaning and =~ purpose and beauty is motivated by his * capacity for love. And any educational - theory which does not deal with this factor is not reaching the deeps. Consider, too, that trust based on love is the most broadly based of all trusts, the kind supported at the most points. Man's exercise of his capacity to love embraces his intellect, his emotions, his spirit, his asked the General Assembly of the United Nations to.debate the question and com- pare the rate of population growth with the rate of economic developments in the poorer countries. This is a first step in getting the nations of the world to do something about the menace of over-popu- lation. Japan 'has already done some- thing. Through education and govern- ment-sponsored birth control measures the Japanese successfully reduced their birth rate growth. Control of its population has made it possible for this country to steadily increase its economic develop- ment and make it the most prosperous nation in the Orient. Although most people in America have indicated that they favour such measures as are designed to restrict the rate of population growth, some religious dogma and prejudice have made it difficult to discuss without bias the whole issue. We cannot expect to educate other na- tions to take measures to restrict popula- tion growth if we ourselves refuse to take intelligent action. body, all wielded by the mysterious power of the conscious will. And, consider, lastly, that only the trust based on love is immune to disaster. It ~ carries its own antidote to deception. Not that we shall never trust that which proves unworthy, but if our trust has been born of our deepest response to goodness, the deception is a disaster only to that Awhich has failed us, not to us. --The man who trusts only in the material. can find nothing but anguish when matter corrupts. The man who trusts his hate, al does the Communist, will eat death. But the man who trusts that which he loves, in the words of the poet, 'and tho' he trip and fall, he shall not blind his soul with clay'. We must not become so highly educated 'that we forget such things". into God's Kingdom are--ASK, SEEK "~The overall assessment is up over last District Doings UXBRIDGE MILL RATE INCREASED Residential Rate--91.32 Commercial Rate--97.98 The trend which seems quite gen- eral in most communities namely in- creased tax rates will also hit Ux- bridge rate payers this year. The budget was brought down last Tues- day night and although a thorough cutting was done, it was impossible to avoid an-increase in the mill rate. Commercial rate this year will be increased over last year by about 7% mills, and residential rate will show - an increase of about 6 mills. year with over $150,000 and now stands at $2,495,605. Deputy-reeve Gould, finance chair- man, when presenting the budget sug- gested that an amount of $6,602 be tabled in the budget as an account receivable. k The amount referred to represents | moneys spent in connection with the sewage disposal plant over the past several years. By entering the a. mount as acc. rec. on this year's bud- get it would keep the rate down by 2.7.mills and it would be taken into account on grants for the new sew- age disposal plant, he explained. The mayor stated since the plant is going to be built this year he thought this would be a legitimate transfer, and Mr. Gould's suggestion was pas- sed unanimously. COUNTY ASSESSOR G. D. HEPDITCH DISCUSSES LARGE PLANNING UNIT The desirability of planning on a county scale was emphasized by Gor- don D. Hepditch, Ontario County As- gessor, during a planning seminar held at Queen's University recently, Credited with presenting one of the most outstanding suggestions put forward at the meeting, Mr, Hepditch also suggested that a permanent plan- ning director was needed. "I feel a county should have a per- manent director of planning, because the member : municipalities of the county can't afford a full time staff", said Mr. Hepditch. ning has become a necessity. i pitfalls in a regional planning board would be able to 'give professional gervice, act as a consultant and pro- mote planning because county plan- Mr. Hepditch agrees that there are because of the antipathy and compe- tition between municipalities within the region. "A county board is able to look over all of the picture, of conservation, of forests and county parks, We have 18 municipalities in the County of Ontario all in various stages of growth, only a- county-wide planning board would have the sdope for all sections. However it might be ne- cessary to have more than one board, especially in Ontario County because of its length,'>said Mr. Hepditeh: Mr. Hepditch told the seminar of the attempt to form a tri-county plan- ning. area encompassing York, Peel and Ontario counties. The attempt to come to an original understanding had failed because of sectional inter- ests, but was still looked upon as an ideal step forward. BATTLE OVER SCHOOL BUDGET CONTINUES IN PICKERING TWP. The battle over the budget break- down of the high school, continued this week, and some members of Pick- ering Township council took a dim view of the whole affair. Council had requested a break down of the budget and were favored this week with a reply, "that at a special meeting of March 8th for representa- tives to sit and discuss the detailed budget, and that only Clerk L. T. Johnston attended: and this Board does not care to set up anything spe: cial for the township". The clerk was advised that copies of board minutes would be supplied at a regular fee or that any ratepayer could view all budget papers. LINDSAY MERCHANTS TAKE UP SHOPPERS PARKING! 'Police Chief John Hunter states that one third of the parking on Kent St. is taken up by merchants and their employees. He says he can back this statement up," said Councillor Bob Payne in council last night. "They are driving away business", said Councillor Mel DeGroat. "Gentlemen, remember we are in council. Let us not get carried away," Mayor Joseph Holtom said. The remarks were made during a discussion on parking. (Port Perry has the same camplaint).
