we came back to our headquartaa one afternoon to learn that a abort time brfurr some raiders bad coma over the ilclnlty and had caused con- tldrruble damage to a very large apart ment botw four of our party tnclud- lng myself went down to see just wna hsd happened we found that tbe building whloh liad been atruck was a tremendoaar large apartment bouse nine stories la height mud longer than sn ordinary street bloc with a large projecting 1 at each end there were probably a hundred or more apartments of urn or four rooms each tn the rjtuldlnf which aa a camparatllcly new fire- proof block largely of cement and stone construction it was a bulldfaaj which would not easily be imn the bomb bad landed directly fa front of the centre of the building only a few feet from wall tn tbe eourt- ard rormed ia three walls of ukt building as there had been some miiishlea considerable damage to the building und as tho construction was compar able to tin heavier type of bulldlne here in canada it was an ideal situa tion for us to study from tbe stand point of that aoud be necessary in canad to cope with raid damage wartrrrs baaa en the lb tbe first thing that struck us was the tremendous activity all over tbe place alhougb it was only a few hours after the bombs hsd struck there eic hundreds of men at wars at top speed police and guards kept all exovpt workers from going close to the

of the aju they use what is known as the snow ball system to summon the membersv that is each man has to can fbrst others m this way an the members are very quickly notified setting cp orranlrstlon as soon as all casualties are remoaw ed the first thing is to set up a mala offlce known as the aju liaison of fice whloh keeps in close touch with everything that is going on in thai case the office of tbe txifjdlns ntadw an ideal location but where such a room is not available the nearest aofft able place is taken the offlce work it broken down so that there la a aeotlob looking after each activity all this is done almost tn as llouw time as it takes to tell about it then nn intensive search of th building is made with the double pur pose of ascertaining if there are any tranned persons and to study if the building can be repaired and what at will require to do this at the sank time any bodies not previously removed are taken away another group is taking rapid steal lo saliarc nnitlilnir that can be saved by quick work and this is followed by a more leisurely effort to salvnga everything posstblo transportation must be arranged ej required other groups are arranging for food providing money whero necessary to tho unfortunate victims and a hous ing department finds accommodation for the bombed out people if they haw no other place to go if as it was tn this ease it is poa- slbe to repair the building entractoa and workmen are called to abut work without delay otherwise he debris to more or less cleaned up and npsaoew ment poetvoned until after the war all these varloujajroow
