your news paper are aware of the fact that a civil defence organization is be ing set up i would appreciate it if you would publish in your news paper as news the following in formation brigadier g e

statement made by the prime minister of canada not too long ago this is what he said s what comprises ence to meet the threat of war essen tially the same services are requir- ed as to offset the threat of de duction from fire flood earth quake tornado explosion or any other form of sudden and unexpec ted disaster the advantages of civil defence in any disaster is that it provides a coordination of these services it enables them once trained end ad equately prepared to move quickly and smoothly into united action efforts are not duplicated the most is made of every service ev en a little bit carefully planned in advance will go a long way services coordinated for action under a civil defence coordinator and his staff acting under advice from planning committees in clude

hehon weed inspector the thistle family thistles of several varieties can be found in halton county they are among the most familiar weeds their prickles having been encountered by most of us at some time they tend to grow in patches in open fields vacant lots and roadsides rather than in woo ded areas probably the most common member of the thistle family is the canada thistle a perennial weed spreading by creeping root stalks and seeds the branching stem has numerous unstalked lea ves that are deeply indented and the margins have many rigid spine tipped teeth the flower is a lavender shade about inch in diameter and borne in clusters the seeds are equipped with tufts of hair which act as parachuters and enable them to travel long distances on a windy day the bull whistle differs from the canada thistle being a biennial plant much greater in size and having very large upright heads of deep ponple flowers bull thistle leaves are wooly- hairy on the under surface only another similar member of the i raraily is the scotch thistle us- ually a little taller than the bull thistle and has wider prickly wings on the stem also wider and larger leaves bat has almost the same deep purple flower one sure way to distinguish the two is by the dense white woolyhalry condition found covering tie -to- tire plant wot quite so common here al though found in some places is the nodding thistle whoseufge head is too heavy for jhe stem and causes it to droop it can be rec- by its nodding appear- ned what that is why i must press on with the organiza tion and training of an effective civil defence corps to provide leadership and training that will save lives and property if disas ter comes we have all heard people say that because of the hydrogen bomb civil defence is obsolete this to me seems like a hopeless and thoughtless attitude that can only mean greater destruction and loss of life if a war should come true the h bomb is a ter rible weapon true its use would mean many casualties and great suffering but it seems to me that this vastly greater destructive power calls for vastly greater ef fort not for a hopeless attitude of defeat civil defence was not organized solely to defend our people in time of war we have seen that against the disasters of nature a trained civil defence force can also be tremendously effective this is not the time to abandon civil defence it is the time strengthen and reorganize our forces to meet a greater chal- ien i four clubgirls attend civil defence depends for its i guelph homemaker meet existence an the support or the
