the implications.

It was the first strong warning
of what's to come — a world:
wide shortage of fuel und energy.
And that’s a frightening pras-

pect.

Peeaperts huve been issuil
warnings for yeurs, but thes
usually consist of an article ia
the Saturday supplement, eusily
forgotten or ignored.

I'm no expert, but any school
child knows that there is only so
much oil and gas in the earth,
that there is only so much water:
power to be harnessed, und

verge of a crisis in the fields of

inevitably happen in Canada,
though it may take u liltle longer,
because of our much smaller
population and much greater
Teserves.

But unless science cun come

pretty shaky by the turn of the
century.

Perhaps, us always, it's the
only way man canleam anything
— by having it shoved down his
throat,

Perhaps we won't stop wasting,
energy resources until we're
reduced to the point where we're

Except that there won't be any

untold misery on millions of

But that’s an old tale, of

a combination of human greed,
short-sighted leadership and
plain stupidity, Canadians have
been content to continue their

wood and drawers of water, und

foreign investors: British,

They're the babies who have

the birds, with some notable
exceptions, who take off for the

the taxes get rough and they've
made their pile.

To most of them, the unem-

But imperceptibly, and then
suddenly, the youth is middle-
aged. The luxuriant hair falls
out, the belly thickens, the pace
slows, and the joints begin to
ache. The energy has been
burned up, much of it uselessly,
and the cupboard grows progres-
sively bare.

Is that what we're doing today
in our comparatively youthful
country? Are we going to wake:
up with no hair, arthritis, and a
pot belly with nothing to put it
