Buy At - ome 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." The Canadian Red Cross Society will celebrate its 50th anniversarY in 1959.
