1 The only absolutely certain de fence against the hydrogen bomb is to be where it isnt And even then there is danger from its radioactive fallout unless youre far enough away The longrange bomber cap able of spanning oceans in a few hours has brought the Hbomb threat into the very front yard North America Its destruc tive capabilities are so great that not only would large cities be in danger but also towns village and even farms It is this pos sibility of infinitely greater hor ror on the home front should a third world war come that has created a need for civil defence measures in Canada more urgent than it was for Britain during the worst buzzbomb days of the Second World War But what is civil defence When and how did it take on IS ft iv ft I KEEP BUSY ON r i is- enume W t- genuine

defence therefore says the fed eral civil defence is To reduce the effects of enemy attack in order that the people maintain their will to win public are restored essential production can continue and the government can continue to govern The value of a civil population organized to care for itself when disaster strikes was never more than during the Second World War With an efficient civilian defence organization Britain was able to sustain months of terrible bombings Without losing the will and the ability to fight It was built as Canadas be ing built by using the services and facilities of govern ments at all levels assisted by volunteers and organizations Civil defence must be built through a network of organization from the federal government through the provin cial to the municipal level The services required of CD axe the same now as the war lice fire health and medical welfare ambulance warden en gineer and public utility trans communications and Information But destructive as they were the bombs of the Second World War were like mites compared to the Hbomb There was not the need as there is now to evacuate whole cities There was still safety in bomb shelters The big CD job then was after the raid Most important was to assess the damage and casualties as quickly as possible The wardens with their neighborhood setup proved invaluable for this But another problem followed close behind a bombing raid People flocked to the damaged areas to seek information about relatives and friends And the British found people didnt want to go to city hall say to get it Set ting up inquiry points on the spot became part of the CD service to sort out this informa tion so important to the civilian populations morale Trained volunteers provided through Britains CD setup to supplement normal fire fighting forces were able to increase the speed with which fires were con trolled and put out Countless Jives wore saved by the quick action provided through volun teers trained in rescue and work The normal services would have been swamped volunteers often worked hours at a stretch Should a nuclear war come to Canada Canadians would face all the dangers Britons faced multiplied several thousand times Main difference that against Hbomb attack the only real safety is evacuation of potential target chiefly large cities The day of duck ing into a shelter during a bomb ing raid and cleaning up after it is over has ended Canadas civil defence policy for target areas has evolved into four stages Kvacuation of persons children expectant mo- aged infirm and so on to outlying towns and villages when Intelligence reports indi cate an Impending attack This likely would be about hours before the bombers wore to arrive and would in volve about of a citys population Planned withdrawal of the rest of the population based on an alert from the radar warning devices being thrown up around North Americas outer fringes by US ftnd Canada After the bomb potential fallout areas must be ascertained and alerted populations evacuat ed from cities must be found shelter in towns and villages mobile columns Would return to the stricken cities when directed to help those who may not have escaped in time and get necess ary production of essential ma terials under way again Disposal of those disrupted by the bomb rejoining families providing food and shelter and medical care and so on With the capability now in Communist as well as American hands of wiping out whole cities and endangering Vast rural areas with radioactive dust par ticles raining from the from one exploding Hbomb borne in one aircraft the Importance of civilians organizing themselves and being trained to provide themselves the maximum pro tection from such destruction seems obvious Mrs Jack

Perennially in a precarious state as far as their finances are concerned the trustees of the Vivian school section are to be advised by the Whitchurch town ship council to increase the amount of the trustees levy This decision came about in the township meeting last week following the tabling of a report from the township auditor Prof A Smith The report was re quested by council at an earlier meeting when a letter was re ceived from the trustees asking for an advance in their trustee levy In his remarks the auditor suggested that the shortage each year came about because the first payment to the school was not made until April with thej provincial grant not arriving un til the end of the year By rais ing the amount of the levy in the school section stated the audi tor a balance could be built up to take care of expenses during the first part of the year Council agreed to this mondation after studying the balance sheet of the school sec tion for the past three years Councillors
