The reeve‘s concern was communicated to the Metro civil defense organization which produced a reâ€" port on the situation. The National Attack Warning System, which will include over 110 sirens in the Metro area, theâ€"report says, is not part of the civil defense system but is under the control of the Department of National Defense. It is a most valuable public warning system for conditions such as fallout, which would afâ€" fect Metro at any time, should ballistic missile strikes occur against U.S. urban centres. In a situation where an attack occurs without warning the sirens obviously serve no purpose, the report admits. The report reveals that the whole conâ€" tinent of North America is covered by a communicaâ€" tion system that could in an emergency activate these sirens and others around urban centres. The key facâ€" tor, which concerns the North York reeve, is that the sirens in Metro operate on seven different power cirâ€" cuits which keeps chance of a failure to a bare miniâ€" Almuhubu’mfldhth\nnya- Mhflufi?flklmo.l-m&rvia!hn&. air raid sirens being installed in the Metro region would not operate in the event of a power failure as a result of sabotage or for some other unexplained This special communication line was established after Metro and military officials discussed air safety measures with airport officials from Downsview, Torâ€" onto International and Toronto Island airport. In future all members of the Metro civil defense police force will be allowed to use the public transit system free of charge when in uniform. The civil deâ€" fense police are under the jurisdiction of the Metro police department and are composed of citizen volunâ€" teers who have taken police training in their spare hours. The chairman of the Metro police commission has received a salary increase. His new range will be $16,473 to $20,725. Etobicoke Reeve John MacBeth is opposed to any move that would reduce the power of the Metro chairman. Since August a direct telephone line service has been operating between Downsview RCAF base and Metro civil defense headquarters. The direct link between Metro and Downsview and later the two other commercial airports will assist in early mobilization of civil defense staff in the event of a Metro area air disaster. York Township Reeve Jack Mould said last week that he smokes about 10 to 14 cigars weekly. This is separate from about a package of cigarettes daily. The reeve will be a candidate for borough mayor and is expected to receive opposition from at least one formâ€" er township council member. In a study of a number of routes the TTC indiâ€" cates that changes will have to be made in the near future in the Malton bus route. The combination of growing industrial activity and traffic congestion along the route makes this necessary, says a TTC spokesman. In one of the operational changes after the eastâ€"west subway opening the TTC sharply reducâ€" ed Eglinton West bus service to Weston Rd., assumâ€" ing that the Weston trolley coach would be a big pasâ€" senger feeder line to the subway route. Since this did not happen the TTC provided an improved Eglinton West service starting in September. York Township Reeve Jack Mould last week anâ€" nounced that he was reserving his approval of the Yonge St. subway extension project for th.e time beâ€" ing. The reeve is aware that there is growing disconâ€" tent among ratepayers about civic tax increases. He also is aware that Metro has at least four big projects in the cards, each valued over $80,000,000, without counting the Yonge Street job. A TTC study has indicated that more service than was necessary was placed on the Weston road trolley coach route after the opening of the Bloorâ€"Danforth subway. It was expected that this would be a main feeder route to the subway but use by the public was not as great as anticipated so the TTC later reduced the frequency of service.
