Theme Song and A good crowd enjoyed the Sunday Prayer. A COMMUNITY OBLIGATION Police, fire, public fitilities and other municipal services, standing by to pro- tect and serve their employers the people--under "all circumstances, are counted upon by Ciyil Defence author- ities to form the backbone as well as the nucleus of agencies for dealing - with disaster, ] 'By the very nature of their, employ- " "ment, public servants in all such cat- : egories are civil defencé workers and this, according. to officials co-oirdi- ating the country's preparedness pro- gram, extends even to those who work 9 in municipal offices or hold jobs which, normally, do not call for the type of action which emergency would de- mand. | -- Since the maintenance of normal amenities in the community is a local concern, with services constantly em- ployed to ensure the safety, comfort and well-being of the citizens, Canada looks to these very agencies to spear- head measures which may be needed to tackle problems beyond anything they usually encounter, lt The whole framework of civil de- fence has. been built around municipal autonomy and responsibility, with pro- vincial governments assisting by pro- viding facilities for training, equip- ment, ete., and the federal government co-ordinating 'all phases of prepared- ness and helping the provinces to build up strong defensive forces. YOLUNTEERS NEEDED But, as crises they may face will undoubtedly be far beyond their nor- mal capacity, the civic services are not expected to be able to cope with them without considerable help from the rank and"file citizens of their com- munities. : They will require large numbers of. volunteers to reinforce their ranks, port, at welfare centres and most im- portant of alt-a® wivrdens in their own localities. Only when the ranks of these services are adequately filled und the volunteers have reached a de- gree of operational efficiency for the tasks which may be required of them, can a community feel 'that it'possesses the capacity for dealing with trduble and for extending a' proper meacuve 'of protection to' its, citizens. : RURAL AREAS, T00 - : Residents of unorganized rural areas_have a role to fill 'in prepared- While their own sections may never undergo direct enemy at- ness, too, needed if ever disaster comes to Can- ada en the scale that can be visualized, At least, such areas will be called upon to look after refugees from stricken places and, where they have established such services for their own: protection, they may be asked to re- inforce civil defence workers dealing with incidents in other places. In the main, the "apen" spaces of Canada are being organized as mobile upport and reception areas, where emphasis is on welfare and medical services, to handle the great number of casualties and evacuees which the larger places may require to send out to them. pi ii Civil defence, 'officials point out, is total preparedness -- not merely of possible target areas or even of popu- lous conhnunities, but of all the peo- 'ple, wherever they may live.
