In outlining the army's plan for

The mobile support groups are
designed to help the civil defence
effort primarily On time of war,
he said. But the armed forces, as
has • always been the case, would
provide all the emergency assis-
tance required of them in event
of any natural disaster such as
floods, fire, and so on.
In many cases this' assistance
likely would include the mobile
support groups.
The 'military would come to the
aid of the civilians at the request
of the civil authority, as it always
hasp In communities with a civil
defence organization,- military as-
sistance would be provided at the
invitation of the civil defence
authorities and over-all direction
Of joint a:rmy;civil defence pro-
jects would be supplied by civil
defence leaders.
Everything possible is' being
done to proyide, Canada with ade-
quate air defence, but as civil
defence officials know, no such
defence can be perfect.
At present, three chains of elec-
tronie warning devices are being
built across the continent by Can-
ada and the United States. One is
'along the U.S.-Canada boundary, tigated both accidents,.
(By our Hensall correspondent)
Two cars travelling north, driv-
en. by Campbell Eyre, Kippen, and
Gordon Coulson, RR 1, Staffa,
were in collision at Highway 4,
on 'the outskirts of Hensall, on
Sunday.,
'Eyre was making a left hand
turn into General Cciach Works of
Cgnada, when the cohesion occur-
red. Both proceeded on and
struck a tree. Damages were es:
timated at $750. There were no
injuries.
George 'Munroe, Seaforth, mak-
ing a right hand turn on High!
way 84, to Main Street, Hensall,
was hit in :the 'rear `of his truck
'by a car driven .by Alice Irene
Colquhoun, Clinton. Damages
were $200.
OPP John Fordeo Ereter,
another is across the middle of
Canada and the .third---the DEW
libe along Canada's northern-
most fringe,
But these lines, even when eoln,
pieted, will not stop enemy bomb-
ers, They will. warn of their
approach end', the task of stopping
them would fall to the air forces
of both Canada' and the VS. Even
then, it 'is considered impossible
to guarantee that every bomber,
each of which likely would be
carrying nuclear bombs, could be
stopped short of the populated
areas.
There are about 40 -Cities in
Nor. th America where population
and industry Is concentrated. If
only -ten per cent of a 400-plane
attacking force - a very small
average compared to 'Second
World War.. experiences - got
through, the heart of the onto::
ent's.• productive capacity could be
seriously impaired.
Any potential attacker of North
America is faced, of course, with
retallotion that could bring him
the same destruction or worse,.
But it is obvious why 'officials
of all western countries feel is
more vital than ever to frustrate
an attack by a system of passive
defence, In this continuing need,
to use the Deputy Co-ordin'ator's
word's again:
"Civil defence is now a pennon-
ent partner of military defence,"

The growing season in southern
Alberta Igo-usually about three
weeks longer than in neighboring
localities because of the warm
Chinook winds common to the
area.
Canada's armed forces exist
primarily to fight the enemy if he
attacks„ but in recognition of the
importance of civil defence, they
Are now prepared to lend their
aid on the civilian front if oeces-•
sary.
G, S. Hattep, Deputy Federal
Civil Defence Co.-.orrlinator, has
said:
"The successful military defence'
of a country is the best type of
defence, but since we Are assured
that no defence can be perfect
and that enough bombers may be
expected to penetrate our ;Mili-
tary defences to cause mass de-
struction, we must spare no ef-
fort to build . a strong civil de-
fence . .• .• •
"The whole country-Ate, ser-
vices no less than the civil .populk.
tien-is involved in civil defence."
The arMy'in particular has been
Prepared to .augment civil defence.
.By the 'spring of 1956 its five
commands across the country were
scheduled to have set up each a,
mobile support group designed to
meet the peculiar needs, of the
area it would serve in war or
natural disaster.
