Have you ever wendered why
you. keep hearing and reading
about civil defence all the time
these days? . Why don't they drop
the subject for a while? Let's talk
about something cheerful for a
change. How much do they ex-
pect a person to take? How long
this going to. go on?
- If you have wondered about.
these catestionsa you're certainly.
not the only one, But what about.'
these questions — what are the
answers? Let's drop the 'present
for 'a moment' then and look back
at sorne recent history,
The airplane has probably done
More than any other, device con-
trived by man to bring war from
the battlefield „into the backyard,
So let F. F, Worthington, federal
civil defence co-ordinator, take the
„,
history 'from here. And don't
think he has a personal axe to•
grind in this civil defence business.
He 'confessed , to some 70 news-
paper and radio reporters recently
that he'd: far rather be home in
Vancouver enjoying his retire-
ment. "But there was a job to
do," he said. "They asked me to
do it." He left it at that.
"Following the Second World
War", he, told a group of women
in Toronto 'not long ago, "it was
fully realized that, in any future
conflict,. the civil population would
inevitably become a target in the
strategical aim of an aggressor for
two reasons:"
"First, because in a democratic
country .the government responds
to the will of the people and if
the morale and the will of the
people is broken, it will -reflect
immediately upon the centre of
government and may well bring
about capitulation.
"Second, the complexity of
weapons and equipment required
in modern warfare renders the
armed forces dependent upon pro-
duction, and production "depends
upon the men and women who
work in the fields and factories.
"Therefore, if the will to work
or the people themselves is des-
troyed, production will cease and
the armed forces cannot continue
the struggle."
How to meet this new menace
to every man, woman and child--
for the H-bomb makes no excep-
tion to age or sex—was the prob-
lem out of which grew modern
civil defence. But how should
civil defence be created? There
were two possible solutions.
The federal government could
set up a central body; semi-mili-
tary in nature, to make civil de-
fence compulsory across: the
countrye But how would this. be,.
accepted by each province? How
would your community like to be
told how to protect itself by some
official in a distant capital?
The other solution, the one
Canada chose, was an organization
based on. the ancient concept of
self-help, from which so Mani ser-
vices already existing in Canada
have arisen. Now, F. F. Worth-
ington again;
"To maintain peace in the world,
as it is today, demands a heavy
price—tithe price of preparedness.
because no aggressor nation will
dare attack unless it is reasonably
sure to win—and to win,. our bonne
front must bp knocked -out,
"This preparation we call civil
defence must be carefully carried
out. It requires' time, but above
everything else — it requires the
acceptance of respongibility at.
every level of government and of
as many of its citizens as pos-
sible."
He added: "There is hardly a
community in, our ,country ,that
will not be affected in the event
of enemy attack. There is a feel-
ing that the smaller communities
in the "safe" areas have little
responsibility for preparedness be-
cause they are out of harm's way."
"I wish to emphasize in the
strongest possible terms that such
a belief is entirely erroneous. No
one city, however big, can with-
stand the terrible effects of a nu-
clear weapoh without the combin-
ed efforts, of each and every corn-
innuity within reasonable distance,
and when I say reasonable distance
I am talking in terms of hours of
travel—not miles."
Does that answer the questionl
All but one—how long does this go
on? Here's that answer from G.
S. Hatton, deputy federal civil de-
fence co-ordinator:
"The need for civil defence will
continue until either we have
achieved a permanent secure peace
or our military advisers are able to
guarantee that no enemy can make
a successful attack on this country.
Neither is a foreseeable contin-
gency and as long as we' need a
military defence we shall need a
civil defence."
