World Population Ideas Fail Of Demonstration by Deep Theorist By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (JP Once upon a time there was a serious young man named George. George was the star student In a college class in "world popula tionits cause and cure." Most of the students took the course because it was an easy way to get three hours' credit toward a degree. But not George. He really worried about world population. When the professor, a genteel old bachelor, warned that the earth was getting overcrowded with its 2.250,000.000 people, most of the class yawned. George sighed. He knew that every ten years there were 200,000,000 more people. He fretted because the human race was so careless. It semed like all they wanted out of life was posterity. One afternoon the old profes sor held a tea for a few favorite students he felt had learned the difference betwen malthus and malted milk. George felt ill at ease at first because he was seated beside a girl named Grace. Land-People Ratio Cited George had nothing In par ticular against Grace. He Just dis trusted all girls. He felt that in some way they were responsible for the increase in world popu lationnot an entirely unwar- ( anted conclusion. ."If something isn't done to re- ol population Grace. And he glowed all over because she had called him by his first name. So he asked to walk her home. On the way they reached com plete agreement. Grace had thought it possible for the world to support adequately a popula tion of 750.000.000. Gently George showed her she was wrong. The right figure, he said, was 500, 000,000. "At that population level," he said, "everybody in the world could have plenty of bread and milk and steak all the good things of the earth. And there would be no reason for wars, for everyone would have enough. "We must find some way gradually, of course to cut the world population down to a sen sible 500,000,000." "Oh, George." said Grace, "you are so right. It's so unusual to day to find a boy who thinks about serious things In life." Human Nature Prevails And so they were married. That was ten years aso. The first year little George Jr. arrived. His parents thought It was psychologically bad for him to grow up an only child. So at Truck Repair Concern Faces Two Money Suits E. A. Pearson has filed two separate suits in Circuit Court against W. S. Nugent, Robert D. Sheets and Lucille A. Nugent, doing business as S-Kny Truck Repair. The first suit asks judgment for $2736.10 as (he balance alleged due on a total of $0915.93 for mis cellaneous petroleum products, petroleum and garage tools, ma chinery and equipment sold be tween 'Oct. 4, 1947, and Oct. 21, 194S. The second complaint asks for foreclosure of a chattel mortgage on a promissory note for 51,565 issued Dec. 19, 1917, by the de fendants In favor of the U. S. Na tional Bank, hut since assigned to the plaintiff. Pearson asserts the defendants swore they were sole owners of the personal property listed as security for the note. Judgment for $129.20 alleged due on the note, plus costs, Is asked. Health Insurance Topic at Meeting Of Toastmasters If "socialized medicine" means the end of free enterprise in the medical profession and the loss of an individual's freedom to choose his own family physician, then members of the Roseburg Toast- masters Club are "opposed" to It. Their views were aired last night during the "table topics" dis cussion on a subject suggested by Phil Sutton, toplcmaster. He asked for opinions on a proposed health insurance bill to be introduced In Congress, popularly known as "so ciali.ed' medic! tie." It was pointed out that the term Is a "catch phrase" and that mem bers of the organization were "a little uncertain what we're talk ing about, whether of socialized medicine in general, or of some specific bill." It was generally agreed that the proposed health insurance bill would bring medical services to the people who, by their own ef forts, can not now' afford medical care. One Toastmaster pointed out that. "Some larger unions are or ganizing a campaign for medical insurance from business not from the government." Another declared. "I don't want my family or my children to go to any doc tor flnnninted hv the Government." A majority expressed fear of "too much government regula tion" and the possible excessive tax burden to the people. One member asked. Do you realize why doctors' bills are high?" He pointed out they have "bad debts" because they so often give service without expecting compensation.

Wayne Crooch delivered a speech describing an Imaginary golf match from a prepared man uscript, as part of his Toastmas ters' training. Later he delivered a two-minute speech on "How it feels to be junior first citizen." He said he felt "very honored" at receiving the award from the Junior Chamber of Commerce as Roseburg's outstanding young man of 1948.

"Why, what a cute way to say It," replied Grace. George began to thaw. Nobody In his life had ever told- him he had said a cute thing. "It takes 21 acres to give one person a minimum level of life," George said. "But there are only 4 billion acres of arable land In the world and there's already 2.250,000,000 people. How can that ever be straightened out?" "It just shows a complete lack of responsibilltv," agreed Grace warmly. "There should be more seli-control." George realized here at last was a girl of real intellect. "Of course. India and China are the biggest problems," he said. 'They aren't really conn tries they're Just giant mater nity wards."

And then along came tiny Grace Ellen. She was something of a surprise. But nothing like the surprise that came in the seventh year the triplets, Herman, Harold, and Hansel. Shortly after the birth of the triplets they got a postcard from their old professor: "Don't you think you two had better come back for a post graduate course?" Both George and Grace thought his academic Joke was in distinct bad taste. They no longer were worried about world population problems. They were too busy solving the posterity problems at home.

During the war, the demand for timber far exceeded the out put and timber in the accessible "fringe" areas was exhausted. Congress appropriated money to build forest access roads. The mice of national forest timber Is based on the cost of getting it to market. When purchasers of tim ber must build their own roads, the stumpage price is reduced, he said.
