"Remember there are certain things that are common to all of us. Everyone feels a little inâ€" secure, everyone feels that they are not appreâ€" ciated. So show our appreciation. _ “Listen to people. Listening is a hard disclâ€" pline to learn. “Look for feed back. Ask the person to whom you have tried to convey a message to give their opinion _ ask them to explain it to another person. In these ways you can find out for yourself if you are communicating success- fully." Dr. Howard Trueman The delegates attending the Agriculture and Canadian Industries plenary sessions had a special privilege when Dr. Howard Trueman, who has worked with the World Food and Ag- riculture Organization in many parts of the world spoke to the group. Some of the high- lights of Dr. Trueman‘s address were â€" that the world food situation has improved. This improvement is due to the development of new grain varieties and strains that are more suita- ble to tropical climates and to improved storâ€" age methods. India formerly imported 10 mil- lion bushels of grain, now imports only 2 mil lion and within two years will be able to meet her own needs herself. Food production in the world is not moving ahead of the increase in population. At the present rate the world‘s population will double every thirty years or three times in a century. Social thinking. especially along the lines of population control is not keeping pace with the rapid increase in population. In Latin America a situation which may re- sult in world trouble is developing. There five per cent of the people own sixty to seventy per cent of the land. People are flocking to the cities and living in appalling conditions, These conditions destroy the dignity of human life. Family Planning is a must to combat these conditions. “Canada has helped and is helping,” said Dr. Trueman, and he mentioned Canada’s con- tributions to F.A.O., U.N.I.C.E.F., the Uni- tarian Services.

He n learn to work hard and to be ambitious; but will also learn to accept things as they come , the hail and drought and the unforeseen, As a farm boy he will know animals as gr friends. In feeding and caring for those frien my boy Will learn the joy of doing for 01h: Early in life he will know a responsible feel: toward those who will depend on him. To him all living things will be sacred. He is watch life appear and reproduce itself. He V learn the certainty of death. Its quiet presence the plants and animals about him will assure i that life's end need not be feared. My boy will learn compassion. He will he forget the killdeer‘s nest in the pasture, and fence he built to keep the cows from trampling One of his pleasures will be a shack in the wet where he will learn to love the stillness tn country night.
