Today Canada is thirty percent larger in terms of population than ‘ten years ago, and it is expected that within the next ten years that the population will increase by four millions. This will be equivalent to adding three more. provinces with population comparable to those of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. At the international level, ten- sions have eased and prospects for peace seem brighter than. for many years, although we still live uneasily under ‘the threat of the atomic bomb. The problem of feed- ing the starving millions in the world remains as pressing as ever and when we look around our own homes and. communities, especi- ally at this.time of year, I am sure we all wish. we could share. our abundance with others less fortun- ate than ourselves. Certainly it does seem strange that we can pro- duce more food than we can eat or sell, and yet millions of people starve in the world every year. Let us then be thankful to God for our good fortune — let us share it with others. less fortunate than ourselves and with God's help, | let us’ face the future in confi-| dence and hope.
