urgent thin it was for britain during the worst buzz bomb das of tht sec ond world war i but what lb ciml defence whin and how aid it take on such import ance i the ultimate aim in war today is to break the enerm s will to fight the ultimate aim of civil defence therefore sas the federal civil defence coordinator f f worth- ington is to reduce the effects of enemv attack in order that the people maintain their will to win public utilities are restored es sential 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 clear than during the second world war with an efficient civilian de fence organization britain was able to sustain months of terrible bomb ings without losing the will and the lability to fight i it was built as canadas is being built by using the normal services ijrld facilities of governments at all levels assisted by volunteers and non governmental organizations civil defence must be built through a network of organization from the federal government through the i provincial to the municipal level the services reciuiredotcivil de

ere the bombs of the second world war w ere like mites compared to the h- bomb there was not the need as there is now to evacuate whole cit- les there was still safety in bomb shelters the big c d job then was after the raid i most important was to assess the damage and casualties as quickly as possible the wardens with their neighborhood setup proved inval- i uable for this but another problem follow ed close behind a bombing i raid people flocked to the damaged areas to seek information about rel atives and friends and the british found people didn t want to go to city hall say to get it

endallne p clarke 0 if i remember correctly sometime last fall i suggested that any small town merchant butcher baker grocer or what have vou would be doing a smart thing if he provided parking facilities for his customers as quite often it is easy parking that attracts customers to whatever shopping centre may open on the outskirts or a busy town when i made this suggestion i was quite sure it was possible as so many small towns have streets parallel to the main street running past the backs of their stores since making that observation 1 have been particularly interested to learn that at least two places of business in one nearby town are doing just that providing parking space for cus tomers at the tear of their stores no doubt when it is feasible others will follow suit it will be a great benefit to customers driving in from the country to shop i should know i drove three tim es around our main street block the other day looking for a place to park the third time i was lucky

acoidants happens on the farmers doorstop last year nearly 800 persons were killed in motor- mishaps outside urban areas one in every four such accidents in rural ontario occurred at a rural intersection or farm lane connection with a major highway in many cases farmers were in no way involved in more cases farm drivers probably were innocent victims of careless highway motorists but farmers and their families died in some of these smashups farm vehicles were destroyed and directly or in directly ontario s farm population pays a share of the tremendous cost that motor accidents annually inflict in this province safety is everybody s business everybody s responsibility the farmer has a major stake in the safety of rural roads whether thc are familiar tqwnship routes regularly travelled county roads or oyf provn pw highway tvath and injury lurk at every intersection the ontario federation of agriculture is marking rural safe dnv ing week on february 2p to 25th may i urge every fanner and farm family in this province to give their attention and active support to the occasion daring this week and every week drive so an accident won t be yours hon f s thomas minister of agriculture province of ontario ready totvock out it didnt take- me lung to slide into that parking place another change that has gradual ly been taking place for some time and now seems firmly established are the shopping hours but which are not the same in all towns the oldtime saturday night shopping for farmers is still popular in some dustrialized areas the trene is for open night on fridays in soma cases thursday and friday are both late nights but on saturdays stores close sharp at six farm families may sigh nostalgic ally for the good old saturday night shopping which provided relaxation after a buisv wn k it was a good time for john and harry to com pare- crop figures and feed prices and for the- women to inquire if mrs blank was home from the hos pital ind how mary s new baby was coming along the children mean while regihd themselves at the movus or made their own amusc- yrients ye s it was good while it lasted but wi might s wt 11 face the fact it is oiii institution that will never rt turn and when we run up ilminst i situation that we cannot ehingt instead of wasting our time complaining we might better find a vvav of adjustment it isn t easy not marls so i asv as grumbling that thi chinm is a great inconvenience thit things re not whit tluy used to be and so on nor doe s it help the situation if w cut off our nose to spite our face and that is just what is being done v hen farm folk run off to another toun whin the place where they have been used to shopping decided on saturday night closing rather than give in and shop on fridays they take their custom elsewhere to a place where they can shop on saturdays eventually the second town adopts the new closing hours and the farm folk go back to their original shopping centre tjiey might better have ad justed themselves jn the first place to that i might add we do not find adjustment to changing condi tions too asy oursetves bill still once we have made the necessary adjustment we find greater peace of mind than whepwc et ourselves agin the law that admission i hope will cover my sentiments in regard to the future when i may appear to contradict myself as i probably harvc done manvtimemn the past after all changing ones mind is supposed to be a womans privilege- isnt it but it mn t only a woman who changes her mind the weatherman does too and there are times when we thank heaven for that the last few days for instance earlv satur day was pretty grim and more freezing rain predicted then the wind changed and so did the weatherman s forecast and we en- joved several hazard fret days as a result good wiathcr brought us plenty of visitors on sunday good weath er not good roads we heard pli nty about the roads dee and art stopped at oakville and found the road past bobs place in such terrible condition they thought they would never get out the road had been dug up for something or other and the ruts were almost to tha axles other callers came from hespeler across country the road were fine in their county clears and wellsanded but when they cross ed the border into our county plenty of icy hills and no sand the question was naturally asked don t you have your county roada
