How the Red Cross Has Countered the Blitz in Britain Depots All Over the "Belea gured City of Britain." (From Garry Allighan, Press Officer: Canadian Red Cross in Britain) TLondon.â€"You get a distorted idea of this present Britain if you pictiwre it in any other way than as Ladysmith in the Boer War, Ypres in the last, and Moscow in this war. Forget it as a selfâ€"contained countryâ€"it is small enough, anyhow, to drown in Lake Ontarioâ€"and only remember that it is a beleagued city. Think of it only as a largish garrison surrounded by a wide and deep moat. Then you begin to understand that this litâ€" tle island is completely controlled and conditioned ‘by the strategy of siege. And you realize why, instead of being centralized, its resources and reserves are cached in scores of different places scattered over, its hundred thousand. square miles. It would be wanton stupidity to have one central baskert.] farmer and ach.lers in the distslst to filled with all the eggs because one wellâ€"aimedâ€"or, for that matter, badly, aimedâ€"attack would reduce them. all Th following was in The Adwvance For the administration of assistance to suff>rers the two islands havs beon divided inteo thirte>n regions.

This means that there can be ncither overâ€" lapping nor loopholing between the Canadian Red Cross and its associated erganizations hers on the one hand and the Government‘s emergency conâ€" trol and the Civil Defence system on the other.

Before that tragedy he had devised a system of desentraliza, tion which ensursd that the esser‘ial service of help and healing would not â€" Thess regions have been broken down into county depots; which, in turn, serve a large number of local centres. From his headquarters in a famous London square, Colonel Scott is able to direct the nationwide ramifications of the Canadian Red Cross, operating centrifugally like spokes radiating from a wheelâ€"hub. Connecting all to each is a communications and transâ€" portation system that can be brought into functional operation by a touch of a ‘button and at the speed of an unâ€" coiled spring. Colonel C.

For the service of help and healing conducted under the sign of the red cross to be seriously damaged it would now be ‘necessary for the enemy to blow up the entire island. A wide variety of places has been securedâ€"from a fashionable raceâ€" course to the barn of a country vicarâ€" age. The entire plant of a raceâ€"courss where preâ€"war thousands used to watch famous horsss win and loseâ€"including the grandstand, horseâ€"boxes, jockeys‘ rooms .and tots buildingsâ€"is being utilized.

In these buildings, also, is carried out the shipment of supplies to the Canadian troops and the charitâ€" able organizations with which the Canadian Red Cross ccoâ€"opzsrate. In another place the arches of a railway company have been taken over for storage purposes. In several other places Nissen hutsâ€"the type used by the Army to house troops and consistâ€" ing of an arched galvanizedâ€"iron roofâ€" ing and sidesâ€"have been adopted and adapted as stores.

Despite this, forest fire losses in Canâ€" ada during 1041 have beeon the greatâ€" est in many years. In Quebec, Onâ€" (tario, Alberta and (British Columbia particularly the damage has been apâ€" "The primary responsibility for the protection of forests ligs with the proâ€" ‘vinces as owners of the lands. There has been a definite falling down on the job. The people of Canada owe a debt of gratitude to the Forest® Proâ€" tection Services in the Provinces for their almost superhuman efforts this year against unusually difficult weaâ€" ther conditions. The plain fact, howâ€" ever, is that these services have never been provided with either siaff or funds nearly adequate to meet their requirements. This year losses of key men to the armed forcesâ€"and reduced funds have further restricted their efforts. ~‘"‘If the Provinces of their own reâ€" sources cannot afford the cost of givâ€" ing decent protection to our forest estate, then the assistance of the Doâ€" minion should be secured. Canada like Nero is fiddling while one of our most important natural assets goes up in smoke. By inaction we are sabotagâ€" ing our own war effortâ€"whereas we are dissipating one of the main supâ€" ports of our post ‘var reâ€"construction The timber losses in 1941 would have paid the costs of effective protection of our forests for many years. ~â€""Canadian Forestry Association Directors feel that the reduction of wastage through forest fires is a real challenge of our Canadian democracies.
