rain the dam might break away and be dan ger todowostroam property in cluding the road it was decided that the engin eer in charge of the conserva lion authority which includes the area drained by the

toilet facilities the camping grounds of lnnlsfil Park will be subject to provincial grant of similar amount The suggestion was made that if the arrears of taxes could be collected the township would not need to Mr row to finance the project it is anticipated that the facilities will bring in considerable addi tional revenue if the work can be rushed so that they will be in working condition by the time the tourist season opens which is less man twomonihs Another suggestion was that by borrowing through the bank the township might carry half their mete over into nextycar giving the second years raven ue to be used for the repayment of the capital investment Discussing the borrowing of the municipality Treasurer lra ton was of the opinion that an additional mill rate might leave aurplus which would save the bank interest which mounts up when no revenue is being col lected Mr lretoh claims that reserve fund not to exceed 40 per cent of the current taxes would leave backlog that would earn interest instead of having to borrow When the township paved the eighth line they use up sur plus that was sufficient to pay for that project which had been an excellent investment and has led to hardsurfaced road plan which is gradually cover ing the key roads of the town ahl Later when the township off ce was brought surplus al lowed it to be paldfor without additional levy It has proven an easy way to pay for improvements and if at the same time it reduces int erest costs the plan has mar iis Tax arrears might be coax ed out of those in default if more penalties were added The se would then cover the borrow ing costs instead of charge back to those who pay on time One method of collecting ar rears wuld be to publish the names of those who carry their payments over into the next year

third in series of articles on SimcoeBarria Em ergency Measure Organization EMO and deals with health and welfare problems likely to arise and the proplanning nec essary to meet the situation These plans must be flexible enough to deal with any local disaster and also with nuclear disaster Each municipal plan must be coordinated on coun ty basis and must include rontlt ual aid between municipalities within the couan and withad joining counties through the Elil0 Coordinator EXISTING BODIES lathe previous articles we stressed that EMO is depart ment of government on signed to utilize all exl fac ilities and agencies govern ment their personnel and equip ment and to supplement these with trained volunteers This is particularly true in health and Welfare In addition plans should include existing organs izatlons such as Red Cross St John Ambulance church groups Home and School Assoc iations ParentTeacher Assoc iations etc We must be prepared to re ceive and assist thousands of displaced persons and to assist if necessary and pass through many more thousands going further north Many will be in lured some seriously all of whom will have personal problems NEED DISASTER PLANS Each hospital must formulate disaster plan and this plan should be exercised regularly to test for improvements and must be coordinalcd through County EMO The benefit to community froma well laid hospital disast FURNITURE SHOWROOMS arms sin awesome THIRD OF SERIES Need Every Trained Nurse Arid FirStaider To Assist solder and all those trained in or andeMO disaster plan was graphically illustrated last fall in the city of Windsor at the time of the disastrous explosion in one of the down town stores Windsor hospitals were able to put their disaster plans into oplt oration so quickly and efficient ly that their reserve personnel were all assembled and waiting for the arrival of the first cas unifies it was estimated that this speed and the rapid imple menting of the EMO disaster plan saved number of lives SERVE AS EMERGENCY In addition to existing hospit als it will be necessary to set aside buildings in municipalit ies to serve as emergency hos pitals It is felt that new school buildings particularly where there are kitchen facilities are ideal for this purpose To emergency hospital buildings federal government is stockpil ing emergency hospital packag ed uolts consisting of equip ment for 200 bed hospitals in cluding beds Xray and operat ing room equipment They are ready to move on very short notice Federal gov eminent is also stockpiling med icines and supplies which may be distributed in advance to has pitals with an accepted and test ed disaster plan STAFFS ADEQUATE It is very apparent that exist ing hospital staffs will be inad equate to cope with an emer gency of nuclear proportions Every trained nurse and first home nursing will be needed as volunteers First aid home our sing and advanced volunteer nursing training together with othertypes of training is avail able without cost to EMO vol unteers plan to evacuate hospitals from possible target areas to places outside target areas has been in existence for several years and is constantly under revision Arrangements are made through EMO between the hospitals involved Personnel of evacuating hospitals have been assigned to teams and they have plan of evacuation and pro cedures to he followed on or rival at reception areas Welfare is major EMO ser vice and have five discussions clothing feeding housing reg istration and inquiry and per sonal services EMQ welfare is under the direction of Mr Jackson of Simone Childrens Aid Society and will require very many trained volunteers VDLUNTARYDECISION Although evacuation of pos sible target areas is now vol untary decision of each family it is felt that if time permits it could become mass evacua tion The initial evacuation will probably consist of people who have made advanced plans and know their destination ey may not present too great problem EMO welfare is chief ly concerned with the many thousands who have no place where they may go and who may not even have transporta tion who may not own ade quate clothing for our northern climate and who always have multiple problems It will be necessary to make surveys of existing billeting clothing food and trained per sonnel in each municipality as well as available heating cook ing and ding equipment These surveys must be coord inated through county EMO to obtain the overall county pict ure SCHOOLS IDEAL Each municipality must have its own welfare plan with build ings designated as welfare oen tres Schools are ideal for this They have adequate parking wake of Tuesday nights crip in There nothing much to see in rthcro anyway in photos above piggyback mak es comeback to keep at least two feet dry and couple of weekend strollers scaia some planking high over the river lust because its there plumbing and large numbers of rooms These are essentials in welfare centres as many tasks will be performed here survey of feeding establish ments must be made and this should include church halls and kitchens They can be staffed very quickly by some of the best cooks and organizers in the municipality the women of the church clothing depot for collect ing sorting and packing must be designated Children will present major problem in evacuation partic ularly those orphaned or lost as will elderly people not in family groups Suitable accommodation for this purpose will have to be set aside Every person coming into the county to stay must be register ed as soon as practicable to as sist in reuniting families to give an accurate picture for the distribution of food and supplies and to assist the publicutilities in assessing their problem SHOULD BE IN PLANS Volunteer welfare work is not new There are organization and individuals in every municipal ity engagedlo volunteer welfare work and should be included in municipal EMO welfare plans

of the sea son on personality For molt people the most difficult months of the year have just now com pleted their demanding round Somewhere between January andAprilmaoyofusbita period of marked depression and inertia which is punctuated with futility and dissatisfaction Our woeful lot convinces us we are in an unkind unfeeling world As the snow comes and goes we catch fleetins glimpses of thedreaiy deadness of plant and bush set in background of mud and garbage There is apparently nothing in the world to stir up the effort necessary to prepare for summer During these some months many young people display their loss of purpose by quit ting school They lack the in centiva and the courage to stay on and face the results of their years work or lack of work Rather than determining what can be salvaged from the eight months already gone in the six weeks remaining they fooigh ly and recklessly mdoubt with strong though misplaced feel ings of vaiour and self sufflo lency throw themselves into the huge sea of unemployed unskilled wouldbe workers Lest we adults get the idea that we in our wisdom avoid BHBBIEY such pitfalls we should be re minded that ordu of ns get so with our immediate jobs that we are sure anything also any here also would be an improvement We lose out ience with the akiila and discip ling which are necessary for us to press on when the sum gets rough and we rush offto seemingly greener fields To our sorrow we discover there In oeffen much worse than what we Now obvious many of no find the co cyr to last through these months it is not because wa lack in imagination or inltiativy but because we see beyond the mud and gun age of this season to the goon the foliage and the flower long range goals We know that progressive changes come through doing so well with Lb task at hand that we get in vited on to blgg ones rather than beating duly re treat from one field of mud to 13qu PERSPECTIVE By knowing and understanding the p1urosixhrantmoor
