The farmer, most of all, fas an important role to play in ieventeo take tofightoff attack Destruction of sources of supply for fighting forces is a technique already being employed effectively in .areas Where war flames, .even now. Any assault on Canada, ac- cording to the experts, would cer- tainly give priority to sections which sustain the population with food, as well as to .sites of great arms production plants and, indus- trial zones generally.

Recruiting Unit, London, Canada. RCAF RECRUITING UNIT 343 Richmond St., London, Ont., NAME (please print) Street Address City • Province Education (by Grade and Province) - Age The potential dangers of biolo- git'al and chemical warfare have already been .explained, with their peculiar significances to those who operate farms .and who live outside the larger communities. There is still .another possible threat to such places incendlarisrn. When we think of arson — the deliberate firing of property •-- we usually think of such acts .as di- rested against stores of materials, key installations, production ma- chinery,• transportation, etc. But the civil defence authorities ,be- lieve that an enemy might attack our farms and forests, as well as our industries and defence estab- lishments, in an effort to cripple our resources and undermine our whole economy. Bush Fires The havoc which forest fires cause is, unhappily, too well known to Canadians, from peace- time experience. They will have no difficulty in visualizing the terror and destruction which could be spread, in wartime, by the de- liberate burning of our timber lands. Those charged with our national security urge all who live in or near wooded areas to be particularly watchful, should the threat of war draw nearer. Of course, "they count on them for vigilance il1 peacetime, too, for fires can start—arid: most often do —from sheer carelessness. Cron Incendiarism' While a vast number of enemy' agents would have to be used to do much harm by spreading germs among human beings and live- stock, and a small army of sab- oteurs would be needed for the wholesale pollution of water sour- ces .and food'stocks, .extensive fires could be started by a mere hand- ful of agents. Fire will not spread in standing crops except during the period between ripening and harvesting, and then only in dry weather. At these times standing crops might be a target for in- cendiarism. Attempts might be made, too, on. stored groins and. the loss of basic cereals and pro- vender would not only be a calam- ity for the farmers but, if wide- spread, would constitute a na- tional disaster of the greatest magnitude. Farming people, therefore, are counted upon by those setting up our organizations for dealing with trouble, no matter where or when or IF it comes, to do their share in defending this land and in foiling activities of this sort which may well be decisive factors in our sheer survival. Farm Fighters Ottawa officials, and their work- ing partners in all the provinces, are heartened by the interest be- ing shown in rural communities in the subject of civil defence and in measures which many pf our smaller places . are taking to en- sure that they play a worthwhile role if ever' Canada is in danger. They have expressed admiration for those villages and sections where, already, civil defence ser- vices have been set up to fulfil the functions of mutual aid and.

But, the farmer may find that war has come right into his own barnyard. He must, say the ex- perts, be constantly on gtiihrd to ensure that no one tampers with his holdings or endangers his own family, stock or yield. He, as a Canadian, is an important member of the national army defending our very soil and is counted upon, with the sturdiness which marks him as our prime producer, to do his share in ensuring the national safety and, if need be, backing up our disaster services with positive action.
