_ Getting To A Shelter ~~ WhenWarnedOfAttack protective measures to inâ€" crease his chances of survival should an attack take place. Last week our article dealt with what to do in case of an attack without warning. This week we outline some of the things you should do if warning of an imminâ€" ent bombing attack has been given. Little Warning Likely It is well to keep in mind that, because we live so far inland, it does not necessarily follow that we will have the time it takes a bomber to reach us after crossing the coastline in which to get preâ€" pared. The attack could be intendâ€" ed for many other places and warning will not be given until it is definitely seen that the Toronto area is the intended target. In that case, you mightâ€"receive anywhere from five minutes to one hour‘s warning. Quickly and Calmly When the warning sounds it will be important to do everything as quickiy and calmiy as possibie. If you are near a public sheiter when the alarm sounds go to it quickly. If in doubt of being able to reach it before the attack, go to any imâ€" provised shelter in the nearest large building or store, For inâ€" stance, both Eaton‘s and Simpson‘s are planning to convert their baseâ€" ments into shelters if required. While speed is essential, don‘t rush maaly, which action could only cause panic. Car Drivers If you should be driving a car when the alarm sounds, park well off the road if possible. Be careful not to block a pathway or exit as this might hinder emergency workâ€" ers after the attack. If possible avoid leaving the car at the curb wince the blast might blow it into the middle of the road, thereby obâ€" structing essential traffic such as ambulances, fire fighting equipâ€" ment, rescue equipment, etc. At Home If you are at home when the alarm sounds, don‘t try to do evâ€" erything. Just do what you have time for and remember that the most important thing is to be in the shelter when the bomb drops. If there is time, close all winâ€" dows and doors, pull down the blinds and draw ali curtains. This will give some protection against heat flash and flying glass. lf you have tacked old blankets to the tops of the window frames, drop them over the windows. Turn off all gas and electricity at the main switches and close all heating apparatus, If you have a stove or furnace do what you can to smother the fire with sand, For this reason a box of sand should be set ready, & About the Shelter The windows in your shelter should be covered with a blanket or other material. It is obvious from this that you should have at least two flashlights with batteries in good condition, Aged and sick persons may not be able to go to the shelter. If they can‘t, see that they are in the most protected place on a lower floor. SS Candidates In Ward 10 Get Acclamation Nominations in suburban wards of the Toronto and Separate School Board resulted in two acâ€" clamationsâ€"one in Ward 10 and the other in Ward 11. Fergus Patrick Walsh, barrister, was acclaimed in Ward 10, which includes Etobicoke, Swansea and Weston. In Ward 11, which is the Township of York, Rev. John A. McCool, parish priest, was acâ€" claimed. There will probably be an elecâ€" tion in Ward 12 where William Clarence Husson, electrician, and Anthony Neil McMullen, statistiâ€" tian, were nominated. Ward 12 inâ€" aludes Scarboro, East York, North York and Leaside. And remember to lie flat on your stomach with your face in your arm near an outer wall or against Civil Defence This is the FOURTH in a series of articles to be printed in this newspaper on the subâ€" ject of "What to do in case of an atomic attack." It is sugâ€" gested that the reader watch for each article, CUT IT OUT, and PASTE IT IN A BOOK.

On the Way â€" If you‘re in an apartment, do what you can about stoves, elecâ€" tricity, water, gas and windows, Hurryâ€"but pot too fast, lest you trip and delay yourself and others. Go to the shelter by way of a stairâ€" ease. Don‘t use an elevator. You might be caught inside itâ€"especâ€" ially if the power goes off. Remember too, the job you may have been appointed to perform for the building as a whole by the subâ€" warden in charge of the building. Becauseâ€"Civil defence is everyâ€" one‘s business, Must Be Orderly Prior to the conversion next spring all telephone instruments of present subscribers must either be replaced by dial telephones or must be equipped with a dial, Another group of Bell workers is currently engaged in this work, which is now more than half completed, Mr. Lavis said. The descent to the shelter must be orderly and on arriving there we should take our places, lying quietly face down in the manner prescribed above.

The largeâ€"scale expansion of the wire and cable facilities throughâ€" out the Weston exchange involves the placing of 114,000 feet of cable underground and 120,700 â€" feet above ground on telephone poles. Some 2,800 telephone poles are beâ€" ing added. Coincident with the conversion, all Weston subscribers will be brought into extended area service with Toronto, Islington and Wilâ€" lowdale. Under this plan, which was approved overwhelmingly by Weston subscribers, there will be no long distance charges on calls in either direction between Weston and these exchanges. As at presâ€" ent, there will be no toll charges on calls between Weston and Malâ€" After the cutover all Weston telephone numbers will consist of the exchange name, "CHerry 1," and four figures. The new numbers will be contained in the telephone directory to be delivered shortly before the conversion. All subscribâ€" ers will be informed well in adâ€" vance of the actual date and hour of the conversion, and of their new telephone numbers, Mr. Lavis said.

SEAGRAVE ’l Touring Notes Time and again we are asked at this time of the year, "Do‘ you eycle all winter 7" And the answer is, "Yesâ€" not?" We prefer to face the fr _winds And there are still a vast numâ€" ber of folks who, just because the snow is unswept on their own street, imagine that a similar scene is prevalent on all roads in Ontario, and so they never venture out to see the countryside wrapped in winter‘s garb. Frankly they miss a lot. Late on Nov. 2, 1951, a snowâ€" storm entered Ontario. But earlier in the day the DHO at Queen‘s Park had been forewarned. By nightfall highway ploughs, etc., were in operation in the Blind River and Sndbur{ area and soon after the storm blew down on the London and Stratford district. Your columnist is not going to write further on the many locaâ€" tions of this Novembér storm. But, note, wherever "this bruiser" struck on DHO land, it was met and crushed and highway traffic not interrupted. By early Monday every highway from Kenora to Eastern Ontario was open, in most cases dry. 360 heavy duty trucks with plows attached, 113 plowing graders, 16 crawler type trucks with plows attached, and a body of 2,800 men were used in this gigantic task. 10,000 tons of salt and sand were used. spluttering soul! Let Tâ€"N forecast a midâ€"January fall of snow, Yes, it descends, six inches of it, on a Friday, the day after you go aâ€"shopping by car and mighty glad are you to close that garage door on your return. And you say to Emma, your wife, "To heck with our plan to visit the Goofers at Guelph tomorrowâ€"in all this snow!" And so the Goofers, acquainted with DHO activities, after waiting in vain for hours, land at Efima and her. hubby‘s home with a "What‘s the matter? The highway is clear and dry!" In our copy of the DHO Road Bulletin just received, appears an article, "Operation Snowfall." It is well written and your columnist would like to mail an edition to every city, town and suburban road dept. _ e Just because city, town and suburban roads are oft piled deep in snow, ice and slush, don‘t conjure up an impression that the road to, let‘s say Peterborough, is likewise. It is more often clear and dry than not. Children should have a regular bedtime and this hour should be adhered to, the youngster retiring promptly at the scheduled time, with his bedroom windows open and the lights out. By keeping to an unchanging timetable, there will not be any question of arguments over the bedtime hour. Such arguâ€" ments often excite and keep the child awake and restless. It is adâ€" visable to avoid any suggestion of fear of the dark. 11 4 With the decrease in the value of the dollar, slang in terms .f money needsâ€"to be changed.

Money Problems Topic Of Speaker At Local Council quarrels than any other factor. 10% more income is the dearest wish of many families, but happiâ€" ness lies in acceptance of realities and careful personal planning. Is money the most important thing in marriage? Few would agree to such an idea, but it must perhaps be admitted that it is the root cause of more matrimonial So spoke Mr. J. F. Gilmour, the Bank of Montreal, in his address to the Local Council of Women last Monday evening. He then proâ€" ceeded in terse concise terms to emphasize basic principles, the need of an overâ€"all objective, the individual and flexible nature of a budget, the self discipline and perâ€" severance necessary, the advisâ€" ability of family participation, Too often squeezed out in the press of many responsibilities was the minimum 10% due the income earner for plans dear to his own heart, for investment, or pleasure, for security, or travel. The greatâ€" est reward Mr. Gilmore declared, of the successful budget follower was peace of mind and the avoidâ€" ance of a constant preoccupation with dollars and cents. Other interesting and enjoyable items on a carefully planned proâ€" gram were solos rendered most acceptably by Mrs. Fred Martin, and reports from Provincial Counâ€" cil given formally by Mrs, Chisâ€" holm and Mrs. Norman.

Campbell, last Friday evening at Lambert Hall. This entertainment was for the Cripplâ€" ed Civilian Society and their friends. The Hall was filled to capacity and the audience were most appreciative of the splendid programme which was given to them. Ensemble work, duets and solos were featured during the evening.

Assisting artists were provided by members from the Crippled Civilian Society and a Barber Shop Quartet from the Armouries. Miss .
