gling of people from two different cities, especially
over international boundaries, is always beneficial.

Besides making easier visitor exchange between
the two ports, commercial use of the air service
presents another important development,

A pulp barge service between Ketchikan and
Rupert is planned when the Alaskan city’s pulp mill
begins operation, for transportation of its products
by rail. It is likely that Ketchikan will ship more
and more of its needs to Rupert by rail in return,
and an air service can fill in for speedy movement

The Youthful Driver

HEN a boy or girl is 16, he or she can get
driver’s licence, take the steering wheel of a
and without adequate driver training wade into
heetie stream of modern traffic.

Car
the

A survey by city traffic law enforeement offi-
cers across Canada shows that young inexperienced
drivers pose a critical problem, affecting the wel-
fare of others. In the majority of cases, the youth-
ful drivers are not really confident behind the wheel
and are not ready for the responsibilities of driving
a fast moving vehicle,

The B.C. Automobile Association in a circulated
pamphlet urges parents “in the interest of public
safety” to remember that a driver’s licence in the
hands of the 16-year-old does not mean he is capable
of driving a car.

Preparation of beginning drivers does not, in
most cases, justify their self-confidence, Most stu-
dents who begin to drive at the licensing age have
not had sufficient education at the wheel. They can
g0 through the mechanies of driving, but often lack
in quick judgment.

The BCAA pamphlet points to several fatal
accidents recently which showed the young drivers
did not have enough experience, and says:

“If parents had a greater sense of responsibility
towards others, they would not allow the teenager
to use the family car until he had received a thor-
ough course in driver’

edueation.”

World Population Doubled In A BC Shippy
Century, United Nation Reports :

GENEVA, — During the last,
hundred years the population of
the world has increased by 1.2
thousand millions, passing from
1171 million in 1850 to 2378 mil-
lion in 1949. Since 1650 the num-
ber of inhabitants has been)
nearly quadrupled, according to
a recent issue of Epidemiological
and Vital Statisties Report, a
publication of tne UN World)
Health Organization (WHO)

Where and when did this in-
crease take plaee? Euro-
peans and their migratory de-
scendants overseas experienced
the greatest relative increase.”
In 1949 their number was eight |
times greater than in_ 1650,
whereas the pepulaticn figure |
for the rest of the world had
only trebled. However, from 1900)
to 1949 it was im Europe ‘(ex-
cluding the USSR) that the rate |
of imerease was lowest: 36 per
cemt against 112 per cent for
the Americas. Yet, during the
last 50 years, the pepulation of

rates of increase in these coun-
