instructed its secretary to bill the township council for 4000000 callons of water half the estimated loss at 17 cents per 1000 gallons women t travel authority are women safer drivers than men my answer is yes and furthermore i think most men will j agree with me f 1 wont go into a y fr maze of conflicting accident figures be cause i base my case on the simple premise that women are by nature instinctively more protective and conservative than men and it shows in the way womrn drive- they observe speed limits because they respect the laws authority they dont zigzag through traffic because they are naturally more cautious women seldom race through amber lights like the impatient male because women always subconsciously re- memher the children in the back seat oh women have their faults i agree we know that our sex is sometimes too conservative we poke around too much at inter- sctions and occasionally dent a fender because were not bold en ough to forge ahead when we should show this column to your hus band when he has his morning coffee tomorrow- it might help ninth in a serin of 24 articles the small town will have to come to the rescue of the cities if canada is ever involved in a nuc lear war in the civil defence plan the small town would assume the role of relief and rehabilitation the only effectiv defenc ag ainst the hbomb with its massive destructive power is evacuation of likely target nreas before the bomb falls the population of strategic cities therefore would hnvc to be absorbed in smnll towns and villag es up to 100 miles away that brings practically every community in the country a vital role in the overall plan towns close to cities may be re quired to provide many types of as sistance transportation most vital element in evacuation planning may be required to help carry away the city population assist ance from the closer towns fire departments would be neededsince no city is equipped to battle the fires expected to foliow a nuclear attack but the big job would be to care for the fleeing refugees many would have nothing with them hut the clothes they were wearing the small towns would have to provide them with clothing food and shel ter emergency hospitals would have to be set up outside the stricken cities the first thing necessary for a small towns civil defence planning is to determine how its present facilities and layout can best be used hnw many refugees could it care for what hojp could it spare for a target city has it any large buildings that could serve as em ergency hospitals how many feed ing establishments could it handle in an emergency then it must have i plan through which its facilities ran be put into use the need of volunteers train ed to supplement nil of n towns reriilar services police tire health and welfare- is obvious considering the increased demands a large in flux of refugees would make on them no community however small or isolated can consider itself outside these responsibilities the vast area that would be affected by justone v llboinb blast refuses to relieve any town of these obligations it is estimated for example that the urea contaminated by radio activity downwind from oiie ex ploded bomb might be mfj tones long and 40 miles wide the size of this area would vary accord ing to the power of the bomb the height at which it burst the nature of the ground under the burst and the weather at the time it is pos- sible to survive this fallout radiat ion in proper shelter for such rad ioactivity flecays rapidly but evacuation is still the host effective defence in event of a heavy bomb blast leaving a whole city dangerously radioactive and contaminating large areas outside it the refugees would have only one safe course to keep going until they got as far away as possible so no small town or community can consider itself too isolated to be nf use in reducing the effects off nuclear attack on the larger and loss fortunate communities having regard to the magnitude of the problems before us f f worthington fulcra civil defence coordinator has said it must be obvious to all that our snfety dep ends on nationwide unity of pur- hsc there are no short cuts the
