council last week of fering some suggestions to pre vent crime He had no criticism of the but said that they do not ave the proper equipment Crime is easy to carry out in this community by bad ele ments from the city he said He said there is no central alarm system and said that valuable minutes had been lost in the recent case A burglar alarm system at the plant is of 2 Per Day for Dogs hi

code i He said that the Humane So ciety will act to bring a convic tion at any time and that the Au rora police will that there is no cruelty The mayor add ed That is why it is not men tioned in the bylaw FOB STREETS Authorizing a 20000 street and road budget for Aurora this a bylaw was passed at Monday nights council meeting The budget includes 15000 for maintenance and for new construction REQUEST TO Continued from page was open he could do so but no promise was given No other town work is being slighted We intended to loop the water there and so used the labor when it was available Im only asking for water for Clarence Allan as ft goes by he said Mr said that Mr Mor ton had told him that an earlier request for water had been re fused The town engineer said that no formal request for water had been received by Mr Mor ton Mr charged that Mr Hands request for water for the Allan property resulted from election promises That inference regarding vot ing and election promises an swered Mr Hands is of the lowest character There has been no suggestion of election prom ises If Mr hoard this ho added I can only say that little value he said The patrol car has no radio and it taxes a long time to notify police of a robbery Some members of council dis agree with his opinion Mayor Henderson said a central alarm system would be of little value because police are on duty at the office for only hours However he said the police com mittee is considering a radio lor the patrol car said the mayor who is chairman of the police committee He said that as chairman he was not- accepting the blame for the situation mentioned by the Aurora Textiles representative If this were accepted we would have to station policemen at the store Bowsers and others Incidentally when a man is caught he is only given a sus pended sentence he said refer ring the recent case involving a robber at the Bowser store But there has only been one man caught pointed out Coun cillor Bailey He added that he did not think the town should be Warned He said we would have to Lave men to guar antee that there would be no robberies Councillor Nisbet suggested that Aurora could hook up a radio communication system with Newmarket Possibly there could be some way that they could take calls he said Councillor Davidson pointed out that Aurora Textiles prob lem could be solved by the firm having a night watchman He said that a robbery can be made between police patrols By the time the police make their rounds and are back at the same a second time a robbery could be made easily he said PINE

Reeve and Councillor Hands were the only members of council to support it In relation to both of those pro Joels Planning Hoard approved of the design of development with advice that ho a survey of his property Do you ever wonder why you keep hearing and reading about civil defence all the time these days Why dont they drop the subject for a while Lets talk about something cheerful for a change How much do they ex pect a person to take How long is this going to go on If you have wondered about these Questions youre certainly not the only one But what about these questions what are the answers Lets drop the present for a moment then and look back iit some recent history The airplane has probably done than any other device contrived by man to bring war from the battlefield into the backyard So let Worthing- ton federal civil defence take the history from here And dont think he has a personal axe to grind in this civil defence business He confessed to some newspaper and radio reporters recently that hed fat- rat her he homo in Vancouver enjoying his retirement But there was a job to do he said They asked me to do it He loft it that Following the Second World War he told a group of women in Toronto not long ago it was fully realized that in any future conflict the civil population would inevitably become a tar get in the strategical aim of an aggressor for two reasons First because in a democratic country the tf pi res- to the will of the people and if the morale and the will of the people Is broken it will re flect immediately upon the cen tre of government and may well bring about capitulation Second the complexity of weapons and equipment required in modern warfare rentiers the armed forces dependent upon production and production de pends upon the men and women who work in the fields ami far tories Therefore if the will to work or the people I hem selves is des troyed production will cease and the armed forces cannot con tinue the struggle How to meet this new menace to every man woman and child- for the Hbomb makes no excep tion to age or sex was the problem out of which grew mod em civil defence Rut how should civil defence created There wore possible solutions The federal government could a central body semi-mill- in nature to make civil de fence compulsory across the country But how would this be accepted by each province How would your community like to be told how to protect itself by some official in a distant Cap ital The other solution the one Canada chose was an organiza tion based on the ancient concept of selfhelp from which so many services already existing in Can ada have arisen Now Wor- again To maintain peace in the world as it is today demands a heavy price the price of pre paredness because no aggressor nation will dare attack unless it is reasonably sure to win and to win our home front must be knocked out This preparation we call civil defence must be carefully car ried out It requires time but above everything else it requir es the acceptance of responsibil ity at every level of government and of as many of its citizen as possible He added There Is hardly a community in our country that will not Ik affected in the event of enemy attack There is a feel ing that the smaller communities in the safe areas have little re sponsibility for preparedness be cause they are out of harms way I wish to emphasize in the strongest possible terms that such a belief is entirely erron eous No one city however big can withstand the terrible ef fects of a nuclear weapon with out the combined efforts of each and every community within reasonable distance and when I say reasonable distance I am talking in terms of hours of travelnot miles Does that answer the ques tion All hut one how lone does this- go on Heros that answer from dep uty federal civil defence coor dinator The need for civil defence will continue until either we have achieved permanent se cure peace or our military ad visers are able to guarantee that no enemy can make a suc cessful attack on this country Neither Is a foreseeable contin gency and as long as we need a military defence we shall need a civil defence first Vet
