Lank, Chairman of the Board, Du Pont of Canada Lim- ited before the Society of Che- mical Industry, Canadian Sec- tion. Following are some interest- ing excerpts: . . . World population is now 3.3 billion. Nearly three-fourths of this number live in Africa, Asia and Latin America. By 1980 the developing nations a- lone will account for 3.4 billion people, more than today's total world population. By the end of the century, if current trends- continue, there will be more 'Water Skiing Can Be A Hazard Water skiing is a good sport, but the Ontario Safety League claims that water skiers who do not obey the law are a nuis- ance and a menace. A second, responsible person is required in the tow boat. Water skiing is prohibited from one hour after sunset to STAR Editorial Page! World Food Problem "strike happy," than five billion Africans, Asi- ans and Latin Americans -- 85 per cent of the world's popula- tion at that time (and only 34 vears from now). ... More than half the world's people earn less than $100 a year. If the developing coun- tries could achieve a six per cent rate of growth in national income over the next 35 years, and maintain population growth at two per cent, per capita in- come might reach $250 by the end of the century. This is be- lieved to be the point where self-sustained growth begins. At least half of such an earn- ings increase would inevitably be spent on more and better food, if it is available, Where We Sind Are Canadians excessively ready to down tools at the least provocation? To so state would be to put - it too strongly, but as the fol- lowing table (source: Interna- tional Labour Office) shows, while our record over the past ten years is by no means. the worst, it hardly ranks with the best: Days lost through industrial disputes per 1,000 persons employed (average . 1956-65) sunrise. Any action on the part of water skiers or boat while towing water skiers that creates a hazard for other peo- ple or their property could be considered reckless operation. This means skiing in swimming areas, too close to shorelines, docks, boat anchorages, other hoats. boats either anchored or underway, or operating in con- fined waters which would create a hazard for other water traffic. Infraction of these laws could mean a fine up to $500.00. Do You Remember? RRR 3 50 YEARS AGO Thursday, July 19, 1917 Lieut.

GREAT -- JUST GREAT I think probably the most difficult rela- tionship to maintain, at any reasonable level, is that between teen-age children and their parents. Marriage is tough enough, as you all know. But at least the partners, in most cases, are prepared to bend a little, to give an inch, or even two if necessary, to compromise when there's no other way out. Married people do communicate, even though the form ranges from grunts and sighs to language that would sear the ear- lobes of a saint. They're usually from the same generation -and, at worst, can spend hours running down the government, the boss, the neighbors, or each other's families. | know couples, including us, who have been amicably bickering for anything from two to six dceades. It becomes almost a game, in which you know every ploy or gambit of the opponent. (A ploy is 'when she has you dead to rights. A gambit is when you might get away with the story.) "But with teen-agers, you're fighting a losing battle. First of all, there is the language barrier. Theoretically, you're both speaking the same tongue, but when it comes to interpretation, there's no rela tion whatever. You say, "Now, I want you home at midnight, right on the dot." teen, gyrating in that weird, trance-like state they call dancing, means "Well, 1 don't have to leave until midnight." A scene ensues. And at scenes, you haven't a look-in. You're all set to raise hell. properly erect. And five minutes after the kid gets in, you're on the defensive, trying to prove that you're npt "an old grump," or completely irrational, or "the strictest parent in town," or an out-and-out liar who said twelve o'clock was the dead: line for leaving the dance, not for being home. Teen-agers are like women. You can't discuss anything with them, in a logical way. You are completely. baffled by a 'series of irrelevances, nonsequiturs and This, to the. + Hackles are Ce erm---- such things as, "You don't trust me. That's what's wrong with you. You don't trust me!" And theyre right. N It's sad to see a family breaking up. 1 suppose it's inevitable and right. But it's sad. Ours is. We had a swim the other day, the four of us. "As we were leaving the beach, I said to the old girl, "Do you realize that's probably the last time we'll all have a swim together?" She agreed. - Kids don't want to go swimming with their parents. They want to lurch around with their own age group. They used to practically destroy me, when they were little, making me play with them when we went swimming. Duck dives, underwater endurance tests, races. And now it's tran-s sistor radios, squabbling and cheeky re-. marks for which there is no real answer except a swat on the ear. And you can't do that, or they'll run off and start smok-- 'ing pot. Enjoy them when they're little. You can blow on their bellies, kiss their little soft, (Continued on Page 12) PORT PERRY STAR CO., LIMITED Serving Port Perry, Brooklin and 4 i Surrounding Areas °* P. HVIDSTEN, Publisher WM. T.
