(AP Wirephoto) Tornado Test Held CAMP BORDEN, Ont. (CP)| --When the imaginary city of Middleton, Ont., was clobbered "by an imaginary tornado during the weekend, more than 500 skilled volunteers from across the province were rushed to the disaster site. | At dusk Saturday night, the - volunteers, working in the eerie illumination of emergency light- ing and a full moon, converged "on a simulated city block of "heavily damaged buildings. For hours after dark they rescued! "vie tims' from the rubble, | treated simulated injuries and controlled area traffic. The operation was one of the «most imaginative and extensive ever carried out by the Emer- gency "Measures Organization. Federal and provincial observ- ers who witnessed the event, code-named Operation Twister, judged it the biggest and best of its kind. ~ The mock-up disaster area was erected at Camp Borden armed forces base, 15 miles southwest of Barrie. Volunteers were brought in from 46 EMO areas in Ontario. "TESTS SKILLS ~ "This is the kind of realistic exercise that tests the skills of the hard core of local volun- "teers and municipal employees in the emergency measures 'program,' Nelles Timmerman, Ontario director of the EMO, commented Sunday. "The main strength of emer- "gency measures is at the local "level where municipal govern- ments must handle emergency "situations first. "At the provincial level, we do everything possible to assist 'municipalities and counties in drawing up emergency plans to meet the different kinds of dis- 'asters which can happen and to assist 'in the training of volun- teers and municipal employees in many of the essential skills to meet such emergencies." EMO's top priority is organiz- ing defence against nuclear warfare, Mr. Timmerman said, but in peacetime, EMO co-ordi- nators, usually municipal employees, work with police, firemen, the municipal govern- ment and volunteers to draw up plans to cope with any disaster. The value of EMO training was displayed at the northern communities of Sioux Lookout and Chapleau, which were threatened by forest fires early this summer. Evacuees were moved efficiently by the hun- dreds to Dryden, Sudbury and Timmins under plans prepared in advance in co-operation with the EMO. Praised QUEBEC (CP )--Senator Maurice Lamontagne Sunday described the election of Nova 'Scotia Premier Robert Stanfield to the Progressive Conservative Jeadership as '"'a very signifi- cant event." He told a press conference he had 'very strong doubts about any chance to make important constitutional change," with John Diefenbaker leading the Conservatives. Mr. Lamontagne was speak- 4ng at a thinkers conference held by Quebec's Liberal MPs at Maison Montmorency, site of a Conservative party think-in earlier this year. : Several MPs interviewed expressed the view that Mr. Stanfield does not pose the same political problems as the election of Premier Duff Roblin of Manitoba would have. They cited Mr. Roblin's fluen- cy in French along with the Manitoba premier's record in restoring French-language teaching in Manitoba's schools. A. E. JOHNSON, 0.D.

Now he's back on the campus supervising computer analysis for the University's ad- ministrative procedures, He bought his first London Life policy while he was still a student. "After graduating I got married and realized that a married man has a new set of responsibilities, You look at life in a different way. "TI knew that I didn't have enough life insurance to protect my wife adequately. And I thought that as long as I'm going to buy more insurance I might as well get a good return for my money. "When I pay out money, I like to make sure it's going to be a good investment. "Although I'm a specialist in maths and science that doesn't make me an expert in insurance or accounting. So I went to the man I considered an expert... the London Life man who sold me my first policy. "He worked out a program that gives me the protection I need and is also a sound investment." (Robert Allen has a $10,000 Jubilee life premiums to 65 policy, purchased at age 24.) "T pay just over fourteen dollars a month--it comes straight out of my bank account so it's quite painless. And for that I have a $10,000 policy including disability protection--if I'm unable to work due to prolonged sickness London Life will pay my premiums! By age 65, I will have paid in about $7,000. But I can get back around $16,900* if I leave my dividends to mount up. "That's much more than double my money back! I consider that an extremely profitable investment. "Thcidentally, when we buy our own home I would like to add mortgage protection insurance to my Jubilee policy."
