The International Scene
(by Raymond Canon)
Most of us don't have access
to a Soviet newspaper, and even
if we diel, we probably wouldn't
be aware of all the problems
that beset Russia at the present
time. This is not to suggest that
the Communist system there, is
falling apart, but it is definitely
creaking at some of the seams,
as the Kremlin tries to find ways
and means of dealing with lag-
ging economic problems and
production, a spa( race with
the United States, an obnoxious
Red China, an unstable Middle
East, and a population who feels
that a goodly supply of Housing
and consumer goods is long over-
due.
Since it would be easy to
write a book about the problems
of the Soviet Union, I'd like to
deal with just one which you
probably haven't heard too much
about. In the past 10 years the
birth rate of the country has
decreased about 30'o. In fact,
it is now half or even less of
what it was at the beginning of
the century. This falling rate
is causing consternation in the
ranks of the Russian leaders, be-
cause, in spite of the fact that
there are now 242 million people
in Russia, there is a shortage of
manpower. The decline is all
the more alarming since it is
greatest in the Ukraine, Byelor-
ussia and the Baltic states which
still make up about half of the
Russian population. In some of

the other areas of Russia, esp-
ecially where the native tongue
is not Russian, the birth rate is
up by as much as 405, all of
which only adds more concern to
the Kremlin.
A falling birth rate is usually
connected with industrialization
and this inay be so in Russia.
Ilowever, it is likely that the
shortage of suitable housing may
have something to db with it.
Since people are even less wil-
ling to tolerate overcrowding
than they were 10 years ago,
the result is smaller families.
I -!ow to encourage a higher
birth-rate is on the minds of
the Soviet planners. Surprisingly
enough, there are no family
allowances as we have in Canada
except for very large families.
One of the proposals is that a
woman should be paid for some
years after the birth of a child,
and if a second child is born,
the term should be 15-18 years.
This is already done in Hungary
where a mother is paid about $50.
a month for 2i years after her
child is born. It may work since
the Hungarian birth rate has in-
creased since this system has
started.
The absence of most birth con-
trol measures in Russia doesn't
mean that this is an official way
of increasing the birth rate. The
shortage is probably due to the
Ministry of Health, which has
already rejected the pill as be-
ing dangerous. What is happen-
ing is that, as in the West, there
is a considerable increase in the
birthrate where nobody wants it -
among school girls. Abortions
are easily obtained for a; little
as $5. and there are abortion
clinics which, if, reports are to
be believed, are filled with
young girls who have told their
parents that they are just going
away for a while on a holiday.
In this respect there is a baby
problem that both the Russians
and the West have to solve -each
in its own way. However, sol-
utions in such matters are not
easy to come by, as we already
know.

FATHER'S DAY
June 21st marks Father's Day
this year. Why not treat Dad Iike
a king for 24 golden hours and
record the spectacle on color film?
But be sure to save some film for
the day after, when Dad returns
to normality—downtrodden, grass -
cutting, car -washing serf!
Many a housewife of 50 years
ago must have wondered what a
monster -like refrigerator of the
day was doing in her kitchen.
They were noisy, smelly,
none too -efficient contrivances .
that well could have been regard-
ed as much liability as an asset.
Today, refrigerators are al-
most a forgotten servant --sore
of them don't even require chi -
ping ice or handling dripping
water trays. Inside of them it's a
frost -free world,
Vintage units used suhhur-dio-
xide--today's pollution.)ogie--
as a coolant. One storey is told
of a New York woman of 1920
who smelled gas and called the
police. Some of the city's finest
arrived, sniffed around her new
refrigerator and, on the theory
that it might blow up promptly
tossed it out of the second storey
window.
Another householder purchased
a $1, 500 model only to find that
it shook the whole house. A
reinforced steel platform was
fashioned for the offending ap-
pliance and while it still shook,
it was less noticeable.
Just before the stock market
crash of '29 all -steel cabinets
had replaced earlier plywood
types, New insulating materials
were also being introduced and
refrigerator efficiencey was
climbing.
During the next decade, eng-
ineers developed Freon cooling,
improved the compressors, freez-
ing compartments and paint fin-
ishes. Tomorrow promises even
better refrigerator models.
Taking a leaf from the auto-
motive book, engineers are us-
ing thetmo-electric modules or
bi-metal strips. In a car the bi-
metal strip on an engine is act-
uated by heat and sends out a
tiny electric current to operate
a temperature gauge.
The refrigeration engineers
have reversed the process and
are sending the electricity througl
the bi-metal strip. Sent in one
direction it cools, in the other,
it heats. Several of these strips
make up a thermo-electric mod-
ule.
This will allow refrigerators
to be placed like cupboards
anywhere in the house an owner
might like one. In fact, by
reversing the electrical current
the refrigerator of tomorrow could
heat the home and cook the food
as well.
Refrigerators have moved from
monster to fairy princess in less
than a lifetime.
