T ' Leishman, Mrs. J.T 153 Vol. 51; No. 40 Northern Ontario's Oldest Weekly Newspaper HE HAILEYBURIAN THURSDAY, DEC. 8th, 1955 "CIVIL DEFENCE VITAL".---- LEDWELL Dr. Ledwell At Arnprior Takes Civil Defence Course Einstien once remarked that while he had no idea what the third world war would be like,he was fairly certain that the fourth would be fought with bows and arrows. At 'the Canadian College of Civil Defence at Arnprior, Oot. a staff of 100 hundred men and women are engaged full time in training people from all over Ca- nada, so that in the event of an- other-war, something will be save from the holocaust. Dr. J. S. Ledwell of bury has just returned week's course at the college, and he admits that before he went he thought civic defence was just another goverment scheme, 1 he feels that it is vital. Dr. Ledwell said that the idea behmd the college is that key people in industry, fire ments, hospitals, and others in- terested in civil defence will be trained by the best brains avail- able, and they in turn will be able to go out and train others. In the nursing alone, 30,000 nurses and nursing aids been trained in civic defence by key people trained at the coll- ege. Last week, when Dr. Ledwell arrived at Arnprior, he found 50 doctors, who were part of 120 men and women. There were special courses for St. John's Am- bulance workers, Red Cross, fire- men rescue squads and other dpecialist branches. Discussions and lectures were held on the problems mass evacuation, and the probable ef- fects of modern atomic, chemical and biological warfare He said that the next war will probably see the use of nerve gasses, of which a single drop will kill in half.a minute, biolog- ical and chemical warfare aimed at the nation's crops and_ live- stock, as well as atomic warfare, Haile - trom a 10W profession ot with the mass destruction of cities. Just how the ordinary man can cope yith a third world war is the major problem at the col- lege. Dr. structors Ledwell said that the in- the college are the finest brains in at drawn from the atomic energy field, as well as the armed services. While the civil defence college is generally under the direction of the army and the department of national defence, there are _ indications that civil defence may soon be- come a fourth branch of the arm- ed services. He said that he hopes to see active interest.in civil defence taken in this area in the future, with definite steps taken towards forming a civil defence organiz- ation. "Gloomy"-Says Leo "Lights Soon" Town Leo Gough, president of Hail- depart- " eybury's Chamber of Commerce says the town's downtown area is dark and gloomy in the even- ings. He stated that local merch- ants should do more to brighten up their stores in the evenings. Cobalt and New Liskeard are way ahead of us," he stated. Mr. Gough said the town sho- uld have the colored lights turn- ed on in the streets. A call to the town office revealed that the Hydro will be asked to turn the lights on as soon as possible. | Coming Events | December 16th--Rotary Stag at Canadian Legion Hall.

The heavily laden tractor- trailer was proceeding south, and was half way up the Main st-) reet hill when the engine failed The air brakes are only work- ing on this type of vehicle a§ long as the engine is running. Police said that the driver ran to a telephone and called for ass- istance, while the reserve of air was leaking from the truck, and it started to slowly ease back down the hill. Ollie Shaver from the Hailey- bury Garage rushed to the scéne with blocks to put behind the wheels, while the truck driver, Bob Hollway, stopped another transport that was driving up the hill. The second transport turned around, and its front bumper was chained to the front of the stall- ed vehicle, which was _ slowly backed down the hill. The incident attracted a great many onlookers, most of whom stationed themselves within stra- tegic distance of the hquor store, which would have been the most likely casualty if the truck had run away.
