(Relieve Congestion
The world's population ha:, in-
creased by more than 515) milliou
since 1920, and had reached 2.400
million in 1949, according to a Unit•
ed Nations survey pub1a-hed re-
cently,
Fastest growing population Is
said .to be Latin America's, which
is increasing at the rate of two per
cent per year.
One of the main reasons for this
record figure is that the peoples
of Latin America have living space,
If they want more room for towns
and cities and for agricultural laud
all they need do is go further in-
land, cultivating the pampas or cut-
ting clown the forests.
Other mations are not so fortu-
nate, and among them is Britain.
The inland areas are often more
thickly populated than coast re-
gions, and the British are prevented
from expanding outwards I>y the
sea.
The population of Great Britain
increased front about seven million
in 1700 to some 49 willion in 1949.
Theoretically, if this mte of in -
.crease continues, in 50 years' time
the population will be 130 millions
and by the year 2100 460.000,000
people will be struggling for exist-
ence on those islands.
Such a tremendous increase is
unlikely in practice. Famine, dis-
ease and war all take their hill as
maybe will be the tendency for
families to be smaller.
Floating Citiea
Nevertheless, the prospect is that
the numbers will increase appreci-
ably.
Where are they to go?
A startling answer to that ques
tion has been given by .ler. E, A,
Rowse, head of the School of Plan-
ning and Research for Regional
Development in London,
He says that they night be forc-
ed to build gigantic floating plat-
forms on the sea, platforms big
enough to hold whole cities, Pea-
ple would literaly live on the sur-
face of the sea instead of on"the
end.
Other visionaries have had the
same sort of idea, Professor R. W.
Macready of Yale University put
forward the conception of a huge
bridge spanning the Atlantic front
congested Europe to sparsely popu-
lated South America.
This might multiply the rate of
emigration from Europe to the New
World and result in a better bal-
ance of world population.
Of what material these floating
platforms and bridges would be
constructed has not been mention-
ed. Building materials and steel are
difficult enough to obtain as it is
and may become even more diffi-
cult as • the world's population
creeps higher and higher.
Nor are there many materials,
obtainable in bulk, that can with-
stand prolonged exposure to sea
water.

New ceiling construction is cap-

acoustic control. For use ill public
buildings or private homes, ceiling
is made up of perforated metal
panels heated by water, radiating
heat through room without heat

Acoustical material placed above
the heating units also serves as

UNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
By Rev, R. B. Warren, B.A.B.D.
THE CHRISTIAN'S USE OF
MONEY AND GOODS.
Matt. 24:14-30; Acts 2:43-47;
19;23-41.
Memory Selection: Therefore all
things whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you, do ye even
so to them: for this is the law
and the prophets. -Matt. 7:12.
John Wesley said, "Make all you
can, save all you can, give all you
can." In a remarkable way he
fulfilled Isis own dictum, But
"stake all you can" must be car-
ried out in keeping with the New
Testament principles. Demetrius
opposed the gospel in Ephesus be-
cause he and his craftsmen who
were making silver images of Di-
ana, were losing prospective buy-
ers. It is true today that the trans-
formation of men and women by
the saving power of the gospel of
Jesus Christ is hard on some busi-
nesses. But such businesses ought
to be closed and their sponsors
turn to that which will aid rather
then check the moral advancement
of the people. It is sad that so
many are making profit out of the
spiritual and moral deterioration of
their fellow -men. How can such
people be happy? Wealth does not
stake happiness.
A storekeeper was opposed to a
revival effort in his town, How-
ever, s0011 tnC11 were coming in and
paying accounts of years' stand-
ing. They had been changed and
were undertaking to pay their just
debts, The storekeeper no longer
opposed the effort but hoped other
lives would be changed also.
We are responsible to God for
all that we are and have, To bury
our talent is to incur God's wrath.
We must use what we have and
be used for the glory of God and
the good of our fellow -men, Thus
we ,will fulfill the golden rule. Life
is only worthwhile as we carry out
God's mission, That is the way
of happiness.

Like the sundial, it will Rinke
better reading for this column 11
1 only count the hours serene,
otherwise it might read like a chap-
ter of woe, what with storms,
power and telephone interruptions,
wet weather, and our work and
worry trying to get the hay into
the barn, between the terrific
storms and the heavy rains which
came along every other day last
week, 10 was with heart -felt relief
that we saw the last load of baled
hay go into the mow Saturday
night just as overhanging clouds
treated us to another deluge.
Now it 15 Monday morning -the
beginning of a new week, with all
last week's trouble behind us. Some
of our young friends have just left
for their various destinations after
spending the week -end with us.
Yesterday we had a lovely drive
and saw a few beauty spots that
I have always wanted to visit. We
never get very far from !tome in
our own car as my limit for driv-
ing is within a 30 -mile radius. After
that it ceases to be a pleasure.
Our first stop was the Dundas
Look -Out. The view was certainly
worth the trip. From the Look -
Out one had almost an aerial view
of the valley below. Houses, cars
and people appeared, as it were, in
u miniature, scenic panorama, such
as one often sees at the Exhibition.
The day was marvellously clear so
we were able to see for utiles and
miles and could quite easily distin-
guish carious buildings in the Ham-
ilton area.
Leaving the Look -Out we con-
tinued on our way along a winding
road -on one side a jagged lime-
stone bank, on the other a ravine.
10 early days this road must surely
have been an Indian trail - it had
more twists and turns than a snake -
rail fence.
Our next Stop was MacMaster
University in Ilamilton. The form-
al gardens were a striking contrast
to the wild, rugged beauty of Dun-
das. There was dignity and beauty
in the University gardens which
was entirely in keeping with the
stately architecture itself , , . it re-
minded me a little of some of the
colleges in Cambridge.
We paid a brief visit to the Rock
Gardens. It didn't take me long
to decide that the best time to visit
the Rock Gardens is in late spring.
Of course it has its summer beauty
but there isn't as much colour now
as one finds in the spring. True,
flower -beds along"' the walks were
gay with colour, as were the lily -
pools, but there were very few
plants in bloom among the steep,
terraced rocks. In spring flowers
of every hue fill every crack and
crevice of the rocks.
Our next stop was Lowville
Park, This 0 was anxious to see
as it is a project for which the
Federation of Agriculture has been
responsible, with the idea of pro-
viding a recreation centre and pic-
nic grounds for local farm organi-
zations. It is a well-chosen site.
A tree -shaded stream of water as
clear as crystal insures safe pad-
dling anti swimming for young-
sters. There are also wings and
slides, and a building specially con-
structed for convenience as a re-
freshment booth when required.
There is also plenty of parking
space and a flood -lighted baseball
diamond.
Apparently other countries have
also carried out experiments along
this line. It has been hit in some
cases that city folk have a wide
choice .in amusement centres but
that very few parks arc available
for country people in their own
communities. The question is,,how
much use will the country folk
of the parks if, and when, they have
them? Country folk have a way

Australia's population is rising, 1ler
food production is not. Instead of

to import it. And the basil• cause
is because people don't want to

reacts accordingly. He cannot go

is low production, that is if Ise
cannot afford high Priced machin-

Why should people getting 1951
wages expect butter and cheese at
1939 prices? Why should people
working on a five-day level expect
farmers to produce on a seven-day

would like the answer to that (pies -

may have been the thin edge of
the wedge. Many thinking farmers
have already seen the writing on

tory.
We night well "take warning
