gardener's taste, Resembling a

grow faster than you can kill it.
Purslane can be controlled.
Seeds are its only wayof in-

be raked up for disposal. After
toiling in the hot sawn the gard-

can get some good from themby

main thing t o remember is

Predicts Large Use
Of Grass Silage.
Due to Wet Weather
"Two hundred and fifty enthus-
fasts attended the Banner Count-
ies Ayrshire Picnic at the Lang -
ridge Bros, Farm, Belgrave, on
Wednesday," G. W. Montgomery,
agricultural representative for
Huron County, reports. ".Nine Sen-
ior heifer calves were sold aver-
aging $81 each, With the fine
weather the earlier part of the
week, considerable acreage of
corn, soy heans' and white beans
were finally seeded in the county.
"Due to the length of the wet
season many farmers are sowing
buckwheat, millet, etc, on areas
which have been too wet to seed
other early crops.
"Several farmers in the county
were putting in grass silage this
week and because of the extrem-
ely wet weather, it would now ap.
pear that more farmers than for-
merly will be putting in grass
silage,

CANADA PREPARES TO
DEAL WITH DISASTER
III
How Are We Setting 'Up Disaster Services?
Aim of Canada's civil defence
services for dealing with disaster
is, broadly, to minimize the toll of
catastrophe, in terms of human
suffering, to keep loss to a mini-
mum, to maintain production and
bolster the "will to fight," where
there is a hostile force to combat,
and to maintain the "will to come
back" from natural calamity.
Government manuals issued for
public information detail the es-
sential measures to be undertaken.
as designed to reduce loss of life
and injury, to afford medical and
other assistance to the civil pop-
ulation, to ensure that essential
production will continue, to re-
store public utilities and services
as quickly as possible and to miti-
gate property damage which may
have been caused.
Since civil defence, iri its very
essence, is the assurance of the
continuity of community services,
the main operational responsibiI-
ity, apart from overall planning,
training and co-ordination, falls on
those local municipal agencies
which are called upon from day
to day to maintain the normal
amenities of life in Canada's urban
communities and other organized
areas.
Thus, Civil defence authorities
point out, self-help and mutual aid
—keys to the defeat of disaster—
are responsibilities of each and
every citizen. The localgovern-
ments—the municipalities—are re-
sponsible for the provision of an
organization so that the people
can produce co-ordinated self-help.
Provincial governments are
charged with providing mutual aid
between communities and the fed-
eral government's role is that of
ensuring that appropriate defence
measures are taken, that there are
services to put them into effect
and that such activities are co-
ordinated for maximum ,effective-
ness.
Defence Areas
For civil defence purposes, Can-
ada is divided into target, mutual
aid and mobile support and re-
ception areas. Their names are
self-explanatory. They embrace
every section of the country —
cities most likely to be attacked or
where disaster would wreck the
heaviest toll, communities not so
likely to be struck, where sup-
porting aid could be mobilized
quickly to help those which suf-
fer, and the rest of the country
where, in addition to emergency
relief, facilities could be enlisted
for care of victims of the areas
devastated.
Defence Services
Communities organized to deal
with disaster are setting up ser-
vices which include; police, with
volunteer auxiliaries; fire, with
volunteers, to meet extraordinary
fire hazards; health services, or-
ganized for the treatment of cas-
ualties and maintenance of com-
munity health standards; ambu-
lance volunteers, for rapid move-
ment of casualties; rescue work-
ers, for recovery of people trapped
in collapsed buildings; welfare
volunteers, to reduce such stress
on the public as disaster might
bring; engineers, to aid in restor-
ing public utilities. clearing debris,
etc., and wardens, to provide aid,
information and leadership to lo-
cal groups and individuals in cop-
ing with their troubles.
Organizing Apace
The federal government has
gone far to see that adequate
services are established, trained
and equipped, It has provided
siren warning systems to possible
target areas, contributed to the
cost of provincial civil defence
projects, underwritten part of the
cost of standardizing such essen-
tial tools as firefighting equip-
ment, trained thousands of people
who, in turn, will instruct others
in approved civil defence methods,
provided special radiological and
other instruments, and has carried
on a continuing information pro-
gram to tell Canadians what they
should do if disaster strikes.
The government has also done
much to alert and prepare medical
people, social workers and others
needed to care for casualties, and
has stockpiled medical supplies
and other essential equipment at
strategic points across the coun-
trThe provinces have all set up
civil defence organizations and
many of the major cities have est-
ablished and are training strong
forces for Arnergency duty.
Canada is indeed preparing for
concerted action to tackle what-
ever emergency may arise. Not
the least important of her efforts
has been directed towards enlist-
ing the active interest and co-
operation in these measures of the
individual citizen. Self-help being
the essence of civil defence, the
country is anxious that everyone
should know what to do in disas-
ter and that every community
should be so organized, trained
and equipped that loss, both hue
man and material, would be kept
to a minimum.
