1̂ **Ov. B McCLORY REPORTS, From Washington Discussions of family plan­ ning have moved from the "hush-hush" stage to the open forum of the United States Con­ gress. In a formal message to the United States Senate and House of Representatives President Nixon has reiterated alarming facts concernng population growth -- and has requested the Congress to provide legis­ lative and budgetary support for a comprehensive response to a problem that is both American and world-wide. After noting that there were one billion people on the earth in 1830 and two billion a cen­ tury later, the President dis­ closed also that - in just 30 years - a third billion were tdded. He predicted that a fourth billion will be produced in a mere 15 years and - further - by the year 2000 a billibrt hu­ man beings will be added to the world population every five (or less) years. It is largely in response to our increased population that there has developed a general awareness of the need for con­ trolling pollution and otherwise conserving the human environ­ ment. In addition, the oceans and every possible land area are being explored for potential agricultural development in or­ der to meet the problem of feed­ ing the added billions who are expected to inhabit the earth. Even the recent moon explor­ ation may be included in this quest, although sustaining life on the moon for any extended period would seem impossible at this time. The President's message emphasized the more practical solution of controlling popula­ tion growth by stepped-up re­ search on birth control meth­ ods and by expanding family planning services and informa­ tion which can be utilized by all mankind. The President pointed out that most of the es­ timated 5 million low-income women of child-bearing age in this country do not how have adequate access to familyplan- ning assistance. Vv The President has request­ ed the Congress to establish a Commission on Population Growth and to authorize the De­ partment of Health, Education and Wfelfare (HEW) working with the Office of Economic Oppor­ tunity (OEO) to expand and im­ prove family planning informa­ tion and services for the ben­ efit of those most in need of them. S i n c e v i r t u a l l y u n m a n ­ ageable population growth is oc­ curring in other countries of the world - notably Southeast Asia and Latin America-the President has pledged this na­ tion's cooperation with the U- nited Nations and other inter­ national bodies. Also, he has pointed to the important re­ sources of private organ- WED. AUGUST 13, 1969 - PLAINDEALER izations and university re­ search centers in family plan­ ning efforts both at home and abroad. Awkward questions related to religious beliefs may have stifled population control ac- tivites in the past. However, the import of the President's mes­ sage is to make birth control and family planning pro­ grams entirely voluntary and educational. This approach shoould avoid any conflict with religious scruples or feelings. While the President's mes­ sage may not have revealed new information, the public ack­ nowledgment of the impending national and world problem of population growth is new, in­ deed. In addition, the Presiden­ tial recommendations to the Congress suggest clearly that the Members of the United States House and Senate, as rep­ resentatives of the American people, must take appropriate steps to assure that (despite man's explorations of outer space) the planet1'Earth" sha11 not become so over pop­ ulated that it cannot sustain life in an environment which has BS Degree To McHenry Girl Cheryl A. Krystosek, from McHenry, received a Bachelor of Science degree from North­ ern Illinois university, DeKalb, on Aug. 7.

Virtually all money collected in the Cancer Crusade goes to fight cancer through research, educational programs, and literature. David Ladd, chairman of the 1969 Cancer Crusade, said the goal of $23,500 was virtually reached and he expects added contributions to reach the goal before the end of the fiscal year Aug. 31. Exceptional work in such townships as Dorr, Algonquin, and Nunda helped the county go over the top.
