From
My Window
You will remember, I hope,
the column from last week. We
were discussing how the United
Nations has been encouraged to
appoint a population ambassador -
someone to keep the population
down to a point where the world
can feed them and maintain
them without too many pollut-
ion problems, etc.
Since that time, everybody
has been getting into the ace.
In just one weep, the whole
western world seems to he in an
uproar about keeping the popu-
lation explosion down to pop!
Just the other day, a high
school principal and father of
four suggested that parents who
have more than two children
should be penalized. He didn't
say (tow but it is interesting to
guess.
Maybe he thinks the govern-
ment should put a tax on fertility
If you are a healthy productive
young. woman with a handsome
virile husband, maybe you
should pay for all rhe mistakes
you make past two children.
Or perhaps, would-be parents
of a third child would be requir-
ed to buy a licence permitting
them the luxury of a larger
family. If you could not pro-
duce proof that you could feed
and clothe and educate that
third child as easily as the first
two, you would be denied a
Treating permit'.
(Just too bad I guess, if you
have accidentally gone ahead
with your plans only to find you
have been forbidden to do so.)
Or maybe it would be worked
on a quota basis. For instance,
one town with so many married
couples would be allowed so
many children among them.
You are safe for the first two
babies. No sweat. Suddenly
mother gets those queer nauseat-
ing upsets and she knows she is
pregnant, heaven forbid. To
save additional taxation she
must find a couple with no child-
ren or only one child who will
technically assume "ownership"
for the unborn child. Once
that is accomplished, rhe
'foster parents' would have no
further rights to the child except
to remember they can give life
to one -less baby themselves.
Complicated theory eh?
Like the lepers of so many
years ago, there may come a
day when parents like my hus-
band and me with three children
to our credit, will have to live
on the fringes of society ringing
a little bell and calling "unclean
unclean".
My son claims the adult -world
is hopelessly confused. While
some are working night and day
to spread the gospel of birth
control, others are laboring
feverishly to perfect a mechan-
ical womb.
Into this gruesome gadget the
scientist plans the male seamen an
the female ovum. He watches
carefully as the embryo forms
into a fetus and the fetus become
a human infant. At any stage
he can correct any mistakes
making it impossible to create
a deformed or abnormal baby,
Either science is crazy or I
am. One day they want to pen-
alize me for my peculiar powers

hope to show up my inadequacy
as a baby -maker by replacing me
with a bunch of nuts and bolts.
Woman still has the final say
in these matters and that is as it
should be. There may come a
time when science will advance:
so far as to unmake it attractive
to all females ro be simply
baby -factories at the whim of
the government. But to the
woman who loves her husband
and cherishes their ability ro
produce a large family, it will
be darned difficult to keep her
from giving birth if that is her
wish.
Science has wrought utany
wonderful miracles. Otte day
it will go too far in its quest to
play Cod. I hope I'm not around
to see the destruction,
Pette Residents
Pay to Library
A number of Perth County
residents using the Huron County
Public library facilities will be
required to pay a fee of $2,50
when they register at the library.
There is no county library in
Perth County and as a result,
there can be no offsetting ser-
vice between iluron and `Perth.
In Middlesex and Bruce. Counties,
there is a county library service
and persons from these counties
using Huron library facilities
will` nor have to pay the registrat-
ion fee.
•hm the matter of rentals, the
board has established a policy
whereby tate basic rental will he
based on the likl8 costs and ro
this will be added in percent for
capital expenditures. An allo-
cation of r1:,, 000 was provided
in the budget for rent.
Rents will he revioN,cd each
year to .prevent 0 municipality's
loss of money by rooting to the
county hoar. llom\'cvcr, the
county hoard has made it clear
it will not permit 0 municipality
to inake a large profit on rent-
als.

RADIO FREE FRIDAY
There's something wrong here. That 1930 -style radio is about
as different from CBC radio's Louise Delisle and Peter Growski
as Guy Lombardo is from The Beatles. Peter and Louise host
the CBC radio network's new two-hour program, Radio Free
Friday, each week at 8:03 p.m. (EDT). Their "with -it" blend of
music, conversation and controversy make that radio sound like
a different machine,

Normally, you expect to pay more to get more.
So you'd naturally expect Canada's favourite
car, Impala, to cost more than a '68 Impala with
the same equipment. Well ... the price spiral stops
right here.
Like an example? Take our Impala Custom
Coupe, equipped with a 300 -hp Turbo -Fire V8,
power front disc brakes, Turbo Hydra-matic trans-
mission, head restraints, whitewalls and wheel cov-
ers. And we'll take $120.50* off last year's price.
*Based on manufacturer's suggested maxitiiW i total(
prices, including federal sales and excise tax and
suggested dealer delivery and handling charges.
How come? Because this year we've cut the price
on the 300 -hp motor, the Turbo Hydra-matic trans-
mission and the power discs, and we've made
head restraints standard equipment. So you save
a bundle.
And on top of all this, Impala's a better car
this year. By now you should be getting the mes-
sage. More car, less money.
And your Chevrolet dealer will be happy to
prove it.
