What, then, must be the might resident in 68,000,000 tons of grain? Hpw preponderant will not such a towering mountain of foodstuffs eventually become in a world where population growth is outstripping the rise in food produc tion? These questions are prompted by an extraordinarily interesting and export so vital product as grain significant article in the current “ ' -x x i i x_x • issue of Foreign Affairs. In this article United States Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman dis cusses a few( of the basic facts about the world’s food situation. These facts are staggering in their im plications. We find, for example, that in 1966 roughly 70,000,000 tons of grain were exported around the globe. And listen to this, Of that amount 68,000,000 net outgo tons, or more than 97 per cent, came from merely four lands in the English-speaking world—the United States,. Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The less than 3 per cent remaining came from Latin America, whose exports have over the years been dropping so sharply that it is likely that be fore very long the totality of the world’s net grain exports could come from the Anglo-Saxon lands mentioned above. The performance of this West ern foursome is particularly signifi cant when measured against con ditions now existing in the Com munist world of Eastern Europe, including the Soviet Union. Where-' ity and the EJast must heavily import it. Take, for example, the rela tions of East and West with a coun try much in today’s news—Egypt Notwithstanding a very real effort to increase its food production, not withstanding the millennia-long skill of the Egyptian peasant, that land has recently .been forced to bring in some 2,400,000 tons of flour and wheat yearly or one-half pound per person daily. Last year 755,000 tons of that came from the United States. American shipments, for a variety of reasons, have now stop ped. Russia stepped in with emer gency help. But the questions in evitably arise: How long will Russia be willing to extend such help, and, what would Russia do if many other nations began to make similar re quests, as could be the case in a few years? At least one conclusion seems obvious. This is that the underde veloped world must increasingly turn^ not to the Communist world, but to the Western world for that one utterly indispensable commod- ______ _____ * j y food. — (Christian Science as that area was a heavy exporter of Monitor).

On Ontario Day, our Province will hold the spotlight at Expo and, there by, of the world. A program has been develop- ed which, I believe, will ex. press the pride the people of Ontario hold for their_ Prov ince. Ontario Day, as a re*, suit, will be one of the larg est and most colorful “na tional” days at Expo. More than 1,200 singers, dancers, musicians and gymnasts — 26 groups in all - will be tran sported to Expo , from every part of Ontario to entertain in Place des Nations. They re present the founding races of French and English and the people of many other national ities who have, in large numbers, chosen to make their new homes in Ontario. Each is going to Expo to express his enthusiasm for Canada and his confidence in its future. The Ontario Pavilion and the Ontario film “A Place toStand” have been received with enth. usiasm by visitors to Expo. We are indeed proud of what the energetic, creative and in dustrious people of Ontario have • accomplished in our Pavilion. It is a credit to their abil ities and, in a most exciting fashion, informs the world of the many outstanding achieve ments of the Ontario people. In writing this letter, I am ' urging that our public media take this opportunity to publish and broadcast editorials and special feature stories telling of the accomplishments of the people of Ontario during the first century of Canadian Con. federation. The achievements are many and de?efve the ap plause of our generation. Yours very truly, John P. Rob arts, w Prim? Minister of Ontario Business and Professional Directory / OPTOMETRY INSURANCE J. E.

The gentle murmur of the The assumption that Cana dians are inhibited and inarti culate. The celebrations in Ot tawa and in every little 1 and big town and city in this our year of jubilee shout a re sounding “NO” to this idea. Oh, sure, we have to have a good reason , for letting our hair down. A good reason may only present itself once in 100 years, but when it does, broth er, we can holler with the best, and better. .. . The claim that Canadians have an inferiority complex. Down here in the grass roots where I ahd 99.9 percent of my fellow Canadians crawl around we are proud of Can ada and of being Canadians. We are ashamed only of the Would-be intellectuals who claim they are inferior because they are Canadian. They are inferior, all right, but for other Reasons. tJnfortuhately they seem to have the ear of “ye editors” ahd so get their views aired in the papers with nau seating frequency. , .. The bland fetateitient that “The Church has failed.” Failed to do what, may I ask? I may answer, top, in fact I Will. Failed t» do whatever the speaker of the moment thinks she should have doh?. I sug* gest We find out what is the true mission oi the Church, then try to assess success or failure, “Go ye into all the World ahd preach the gospel,” said Christ. This is the .Church’s mission; in this she has succeeded ahd is succeed^ ing.

Some day ere long we’ll con quer space, Ah, mournful thought and bit ter, ‘Mid stars that sang creation’s birth The crude cacophony of Earth, Man’s pestilential twittfer.” . . . The use and abuse of the word "image.” There seem to be fads in words as ip all else; this is the "faddy” word of the moment. Every man, woman, organization is concerned about his, her or its "image.” May I suggest, (in fact try to stop me) that, if we are con-, cerned with integrity, decency and honor in personal, social and political life, our public image will take care of itself. It Will be a favorable one, too. ... The availability of filthy literature, particularly for the youth of Our country. Sortie excuse this, by insisting young people must learn the facts of life.
