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

fendants In favor of the U. S. Na
tional Bank, hut since assigned to
the plaintiff. Pearson asserts the

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.
Access Roads Discussed

master during the program, which
followed the table topics discussion.

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."
"Why George, how cute," said

Mable and Melba. 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.

significance of the national for

how prior to the war, national
forest timber was withheld from
sale while private holdings were
cut. 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.
