Huron's Position In Any
Time cF an .Emergency
(fly T. 1%! NaePonaldt Vennty
Ce-erglinater Engergentey
1404.Sn4es Argan4ation)
have been Huron's Emer-
gency Meeeeres Ceeerclinetor
the November 21 and think
it about ,time that I ga,ve yelp'
a 'state of 'the CountymesSago,
X realize that Kane c you have
heard bon?, me :P *41Y but
malty of yoa have not, Those
of you who have please bear
with the foliewhig,
Firstly, what /Ad 's think
xhould
be done at the outset
in
our county? Nry answer to
this was "What is the Pe:Sidon
of Hurotri„Contity within. the set-
ting of the Previnoe?" V an
emergency Oteears the Position
of our county is this. We Mist
first of all prepare to survive
an attack, and roast of us will,
if we plan and Prel)we as a
fain* Unit 1101W -
Secondly those of us who sur-
vive have the task of ensuring
that Huron County is an ale
quote reception lava or the
Wounded and deal:Wee, 3pct area area to help in retie and
a general: helper to less utifow-
turgate distriots.
It will be purely an accident
if we have a detonatixin• on or
over our county,' Our danger
is from radioactive bailout from
an explosion on say, London,
Harrnilton, Niagara. Falls, To-
ronto, or more likely (as our
prevailing' wind is westerly)
from Flint, Saginaw, Bay City,
or a high yield weapon., Chic-
ago -
Because of this we have been
designate& :as "a 1aRout area."
aed if we plan ,and prepare now
thithviduaTly1.9$ a family unit
and collectively within our
community we will survive a
nuclear attack and liive to help
others who are In, much graver
danger. In other wards, not tO
belittle the possible effects of
radioactive fallout, our role is
a positive one in this business
of lZ)mergency Measures.
Now what sitcnild be dam at
the outset in Huron. County?
We. must resolve a j?ilatt. A plan
to be prepared to receive thous-
ands of people from. the metro-
politan areas and •to send per-
sonnel, food and clothing •and
equipment that. is available, to
these areas. Regardless of %that
controls are established when
• a civil defence alert is sounded
throughout our country High-
ways 4, 8 and 21 from the s‘outh
and southeast will become coat.
gested with m.en, women and
children leaving the metropoll-
tan areas to try and gain sanc-
tuary h counties such as ou;rs.
We must' ixave a plain at all
levels of gc•verrnnent.
The next thing that we must
do is to establish a prateln of
warning in order that all of
us know that an emergency is
about to exit, This is. so tillact
wo can turn on our radios and
listen or authoritative instruc-
tions from our 'Warden, from
'or Premier or our Prime Min-
• is `er.
The third thing that we must
•do at the .cotset is to establish
a good system of public infor-
mation: and education se that
:all of us know what to db. In
°ether words, the three funda-
meiitial at this
lane in Huron County are; (1)
a plan, (2) an adequate want-
ing systern, ()) a public in-
formation service.
The Plan
As far 4.-15. a plan, conterned,
Ole last week's Issue of this
newspaper c;r:ried the names of
chaltmen of sub-mourni'lrees at
the :county level. On .'!er eacIi
of these COMIllittees, each com-
munity in the vount, will be
o -ganized. •
Adequate Warning
The second fandamenr,al—an
adequate warning systent, What
has been' done m this regard?
Tie most reliable method of
comimmicatiOn in the county
before •an ernergoncy happens
is the telephone,
With the invaluable assist-
ance of each cif the telephone
cempanies in the eentity the
following communicatien net
ha been established; A tele-
.r!:•!oie call is received from the
iiiiiitarY ju1,undon, Ontario,
SaYing that .a eivil dee alert
Wits. This means that every-
one in our county that has the
faoility should be warned to
turn •en their radios and be
alert for instructions as the
next message would be broad-
cast through CFPL, London and
cicNX, Winghame Immediately
'trough the Clinton Bell Tele-,
phone exchange the Civil De,
fence Alert is Passed on to an
authoritative person as fol-
lows:
In Goderich, who in turn will
wren Colborne an Goderieh
toWnShips;
In Clinton, who in turn warns
Hullett and Tuckersrnith town -
In Bayfield, who in turn
warns Stanley Township;
In Grand Bend, who in turn
warns Hay,S•tephen and McGil-
livray townships;
In Exeter, who in turn warns
Usborne Township;
In Seaforth, who in turn
warns McKillop Township;
In Lucknow, who an turn
warns West Wawanosh and
East Wawanosh townships!
In Brugsels, who in. turn
warns Morris and Grey town-
ships;
In Wingham, who in turn
warns Turnberry and Howick
townships;
, In RCAF Clinton and I:LC:1AF
Centralia.
• Within the municipalty what
happens? This must be resolved
by the various committees
whether they are to warn the
general public by siren, by
'church bells, by loud -hailers
from taxicabs and police cruis-
ers, by house:to-house calls. M
the present time as far as it is
known • (other than the two
RCAF stations) there is no
warning system established for
the general public. It should be
mentioned at this point that
each of the ten telephone com-
panies in the county have co-
operated to the fullest extent
in establishing this communica-
tion net.
County Government
There is another very import-
ant aspect of communication.
That is to ensure that the War-
den of the county and his exec-
utive have the facility to com-
municate with municipalities in
order to govern during an em-
ergency. In this regard what
has been done? A plan has been
epproved to establish the
county government in the base-
ment of the, present County
Court House which can. quite
easily, with the expenditure of
very little money, be converted
into an adequate fallout shelter.
During this fiscal year of 1962-
63 it is proposed, subject to
final approval, to install ade-
quate telephone conunutrica-
tions in the basement.
• Public Information
Now, for the third funda-
mental requirement and I think
it should be pointed out at this
time that these three fUrida-
mental& are of equal import-
ance and should be worked on
concurrently in the county and
each municipality. Public Infor-
mation—people must be eau-
'ated and made aleat, and kept
aware, without establishing a
state of fear, of what should be
done as a family unit and a
community. This is a very hn
portant aspect of Emergency
Measures. The newspapers, per-
ledicals, and TV prcductiont
have been full of confusing and

been sent to me requesting in..

Travelling Circus
Many requests for talks and
discussions have . been fulfilled
at clubs and organizations and
there • are bookings up to the
end of April. The seripts are
being prepared for several tele-
vision produetions to take place
during the months of March
and April. In addition to this
it is planned to have a travel-
ling circus visit each community
centre — Goderich, Wingham,.
Clinton, Seaforth, Exeter and
the two RCAF Stations—in the
late spring of this year.
In conclusionon this 'state
of the county' message 1 would
just like to take the liberty
of saying to you that an levels
of government—federal, provin-
cial and county — are doing
everything they can afford to
do. The division of financial
responsibility is 75 percent by
the Dominion, 15 percent by
the Province and 10 percent by
the County. The last and most
important thing to recognize is
that there are very few govern-
ment :full-time employees at the
county and lower levels of goV-
erninerit. Therefore, the bulk of
the work must be done by vol-
unteers. I consider that there
are two decisions to be made
by the family unit and by the
community.
Two Decisions
(1) To recognize that there
is a possibility that an enter-
gency might occur, and al-
though it could be considered
unnecessary to mention, the
capability of nuclear attack ex-
ists behind the Iron curtain
and likewise the capabihty ex-

practical families maintain fire
insurance on their paxperty
even though they feel hi their
own minds that a fire will never
come 'nigh thee'.
