Rivalry Rum Centenary P By JAMES NELSON CHARLOTTETOWN (CP) Rivalry among the provinces has raised its head in 1967 cen- tenary planning, 'At the three-day conference of the centenary. planners held their weekend it was discovered that Quebec--which had been 'enthusiastic about the whole} show--has an ambitious pro- eral,. provincial and municipal gram totalling $28,000,000 in fed- outlay. Delegates representing other provinces were clearly sur- prised and pleased by the Que- bec program. James Ault, On- tario's minister of travel and publicity who has been newly- named to head centennial plan- ning for the province in place of ousted attorney-general Cass, produced no comparable pro- gram for the conference.

There are 'plans for a major memorial project in Toronto for which Ottawa is prepared to put up $2,500,000. RIVALRY WELCOME | Maurice Lamontagne, federal state secretaty and chairman of the National Centennial Confer- ence, said the new element of rivalry among the provinces was welcome. It was a long step forward from the don't- care at here of centennial planning in the conference's in- itial meetings last October and December. The new | to centennial have re- sulted from the fact that Char- lottetown is embarking in three look long program of theatrical pro- ductions in the new Fathers of Confederation ¥Memorial Build- ings here.

To Honor 39 Scouts At Whitby Thirty-five boys will be pre- sented with Queen Scout Parch- ments, Saturday, May 2, in thy, by the Hon. W. Earl Rowe, PC, (C), Lieutenant Gov- lernor of Ontario and patron of the Boy Scouts of Canada. The ceremony will take place in Anderson High School at 8.15 p.m. There is a large hall for the presentations and the organ- izers are hoping all interested will attend. All of the boys are from the Lakeland Region. Three are from Whitby. They are Andrew Goode, 1st Whitby Troup; Ted McGee and Gerald Lynelee, both of 5th Whitby Scouts.

Population Problem Is Talk Theme The Unitarian Fellowship at its weekly meeting heard George Rodgers, a minister of the Seventh-day Adventist Chure h and superintendent of the Bransom Hospital, speak on the subject '"'The World Popula- tion Explosion". Mr. Rodgers drew on the ob- servations and experiences of a recent trip around the world to) vividly describe the effects of| over-population in Asia and Africa. Mr. Rodgers' use of lan- guage was impressive as he re- ferred to the 'immensity of mis- ery, the horizons of hopelessness and the panorama of. poverty'. If present trends continue a population of seven billion peo- ple on earth can be foreseen within 100 years. The factors contributing to this are in- creased infant survival, im- proved care of older people and the conquest of the plagues and epidemics of the past. Life ex- pectancy even in North America has increased from an average of 40 years to 70 years within the past 80 years. Even the United States may expect a population of 350 million by 1980 which will be more than present water sup- plies can support and sea water will have to be used. Mr. Rodgers pointed out that there are three babies born every second which means 100 million more people on earth -- 100 million more mouths to feed -- every year, In Mr. Rodgers' opinion chem- ical and mechanical contracep- tives will not be sufficient to balance the "biological urges of Asia". He referred to the pro- gram of legalized abortion in Japan and showed that such a program was not consistent with Christian ethics, Japan has resisted - Christianity and less than 1 per cent of the Japanese have accepted Christianity. When pressed during the dis- cussion. period following his ad- dress, Mr. Rodgers agreed that abortion may be justified in cases of "medical necessity" but did not advocate general en- couragement and legalization of birth control measures. Faced with the world's in- creasing population and the lim- ited resources available Mr. Rodgers stated "the problem to Clifford Bould, president, Ontario Regiment Association, left, presents a past presi- dent's pin to Dan Matthews, right, immediate past. presi- dent of the association, dur- ing the Regiment's association annual banquet held Saturday night at the Oshawa Armories.
