Provision of shelter for the family is essentiaal. Those whose jobs wouldn't be ur- gently needed, in time of emergency, are asked to see to it that they have a place arranged "for them in one of the disaster services, that they. train dustries will serve. best by continuing at their jobs, particularly those which relate to the support of the fighting and ¢ivil defence forces, Even residents in sparsely-settled areas should be ready and willing to help, for they may be called upon to house and care for people of less , | fortunate localities and, even, to go These and other pertinent: points' With their neighbours to the aid of are brought out in the informational material which has been issued by the Department - of. National Health and Welfare, co-ordinating civil defence preparedness measures, in an effort to enlist the active support of Cana- dians everywhere, Only with total popular support, officials realize, can they hope to provide the country with services capable of sustaining national emergency. HOW TO HELP : The officers of the Fedéral Civil Defence Division point out that, of course, everyone can't be an auxiliary policeman or help fight fires. Indeed, an enemy's objective would be achieved if it could involve the whole popula- tion in such purely defensive activities, Some of the people, they realize, must keep the wheels of industry turning, keep the fighters fed, housed, tended and supplied with tools for their tasks. The ordinary citizen, it is urged, can help simply by "carrying-on" under adversity, by looking after himself or: herself: during and after disaster, and by lending a hand to those who need it, whether their call is for extra weight on a fine line of simply a word of comfort and encouragement iwhen it is' most needed. i Self-help is indicated as the keynote of Canada's program for survival un- der such disaster as enemy attack. The more people who can solve their own post-raid problems, says Ottawa, the njore the organized services can turn to aid those with more than they can handle themselves. Preparation for emergency is im- stricken communities, to lend a hand. KEEP INFORMED Gen. F. F. Worthington, federal Civil Defence Co-ordinator, has this to say, too. "Most of all, in this changing world, with its day-to-day developments of major import, the citizen-in-the-street can help simply by keeping informed. Knowing what to do may mean the difference between life and death, if disaster strikes. "Nothing breeds fear and impotence like ignorance and false information. The informed person is a tower of strength to all about him. He is the buffer against idle rumor which, in turn, can lend to unreasoned, unin- formed despair and even panic. General Worthington pointed out that wise Canadians are learning all that it is possible to pick up about measures for protection of their homes, having long understood the importance of health measures to pre- vent disease, of caution to avoid acci- dent and of building Sabidly for perm- ' anency. "To-day" he said, "things being 'as they are, Canadians must broaden their outlook to face up to new threats to their security. They must: be not guard for Canada." Officials emphasize that prepared- ness, like charity, begins at home; that Canada is only as safe as the Can- adian family, Canada's preparedness program, they say, will be only as ef- fective as her citizens who serve in, and stand beside,' the civil defence services, Blackstock DR.
