wear up to 100 times longer than
steel. They are available in a wide
range of compositions, each with
specific characteristics of resis-
tance to abrasion, corrosion, ex-
treme heat or cold, deformation
and impact. Kennametal can pro-
vide new answers to many old
design problems.
Examples:
Kennametal sleeve bearings (as
illustrated above) helped a chem-
ical company reduce excessive
downtime on a pump handling a
very caustic and abrasive slurry,

Ernest van den Haag states that the poor-
est 11 per cent of our population “com-
mand much more purchasing power than
60 per cent ‘of the families in the Soviet
Union.” I think his argument would have
been much stronger had he pointed out
that the poorest 11 per cent of our popu-
lation command much more purchasing
power than 99 per cent of the Aborigine
families in Australia,

Ernest yan den Haag Replies:
Mr. Rene attributes to me the view that
“welfare migration is caused by the ab-
sence of residency requirements.” I do not
hold that view, but I think that the. pres-
ence of such requirements would reduce
migration. As Mr. Rene points out, so
would equalization of payments available
in various regions, I’m in favor of both
measures,
J agree with Dr. Carleton (et al.) that
oral contraceptives may be as dangerous
to some as cigarette smoking is to all, but
Tm against selling cigarettes or the Pill
on prescription only, Unprescribed sale of
the Pill, unlike that of cigarettes, would
have great benefits. I agree with Dr.
Carleton that this would not solve the
problem, I am satisfied with improving
matters. Many among the poor, when
contraceptives become more easily avail-
able, would reduce their fertility, Unlike
some other correspondents, I do not feel
that this involves dictating to anyone
whether or not to have children. Rather,
it enables the poor to do what the tich
already do, namely to follow their con-
science and their religion without being
compelled,
Mr. Erichson misses the point, whether
his intent is sarcastic or not,
Mr. Ronallo got overexcited and
patronizing through a misunderstanding. I
classify as poor those who get in any of
the periods mentioned less than the pur-
chasing power equivalent to that of $3,130
in 1964, Sorry I was not clear enough,
Yet, since I measured in 1964 dollars
both before and after 1964, Mr. Ronallo
could have seen that the reduction of
poverty I described did not depend on
changes in the purchasing power of
money.

is caused by the absence of residency requirernents’. Ido not
