'Two ''children' the limit, more a 'sin9
by CAROL ANDERSON

Unless the population ex
plosion stops soon the world
has three choices. It can kill off
its people surplus with a
massive plague, a world war or
pollution.
These are the alternatives
facing man according to
Richard Boohar, assistant pro
fessor of zoology and
physiology.
"We have a breathing space
but not much. What we do with
that breathing space had better
be right," Boohar warned.
"Birth control is an absolute
necessity not a theory any
more," he said. People must
understand that "two (offspr
ing) is the limit and more is a
sin."
Boohar admitted that im-
p it) j
,...,
plementation of effective birth
control is a dilemma.
Although "it should be done
by the consciences of people,"
he said, practically,, govern
ment has the only effective
machinery for implementing
birth control.
"When you get down to the
point of survival, you have to
use what works." Boohar con
ceded that such methods would
encroach on the individual's
civil liberties, but "civil
liberties are a luxury when it
comes to survival."
"We can make it if
everybody starts working
now," he said. By work Boohar
means that technological pro
cesses must stop using up the
oxygen and polluting the en
vironment; people must learn
to eat things that they may not
consider food; and new ways of
distributing food must be
found. But none of these efforts

If you're tired of using
two or more separate so
lutions to take care of
your contact lenses, we
have the solution. It's
Lensine the all-purpose
lens solution for com
plete contact lens care
preparing, cleaning, and
soaking. Just a drop or
twoof Lensine beforeyou
insert your contacts coats
and lubricates the lens
surface making it smooth
er and non-irritating.
Cleaning your contacts
with Lensine retards the
buildup of foreign de
posits on the lenses.
Lensine Is sterile,, self
sanitizing,, and antisep
tic making it ideal for
storage of your lenses
between wearing periods.
And you get a removable
storage case on the bot
tom of every bottle, a
Lensine exclusive for
proper lens hygiene. It

will help unless the population
stops growing, he emphasiz
ed. No one questions the value of
saving an Indian baby's life by
immunizing it against malaria.
But humanitarians should start
questioning that practice if the
baby later starves to death as
an adult and leaves behind
offspring to suffer the same
fate, Boohar said.
An initially "good" act may
cause greater "evil" he said.
Currently, man and his
technological activities are us
ing up the earth's oxygen sup
ply close to the rate green
plants can reproduce it, ac
cording to Dr. Boohar. Men in
developed countries have 50
times more effect on their en
vironment than men in un
derdeveloped societies such as
India, he continued.
Man is approaching the limit
for the amount of food he can
produce, Boohar added. "We
can't depend on the sea for
food" because currently man is
using continuously, about 60
per cent of the sea's nutritional
output. This will lead to

replenishment problems if
more than 100 per cent of the
output is taken from the sea,
the zoology professor explain
ed. Even if developed countries
could feed the world's people, it
doesn't mean that the world's
living standards would be
raised, he said.
Boohar said his private guess
is that the earth does not
possess enough "metals, oil
and water to go around to raise
the world's living standards to
the American level." If the
world's wealth were evenly
distributed, Americans would
be living at a standard not
much higher than an Indian
hovel, he contends.
Boohar thinks work on con
trolling population should begin
in the developed countries
where man has more impact on
his environment.
