enough people organized in our
county to take control, and as
long 'as we survive the attack
I do not think we would have
too much to worry about. We
are fortunate in our county,
"Please don't think 'this is
for war; it is emergency meas-
ures and all that that involves.
The good Lord has protected
us in 'this county, but there is'
no reason we cannot be hurt
by tornado or some such event."
When 'the report was pre-
sented, Reeve Morgan Agnew,
Clinton chairman, said: "For
this particular work we are
very fortunate in having select-
ed a man of Mr. MacDeniald's
ability. He has done a lot of
work—it has not been too easy
—'and he hest shown devotion to
duty .and an interest in, 'this
work."
Reeve Tom Leiper, Hullett,
said he felt as though he had
let Mr. MacDonald down'.
"In a rural municipality," he
said, "it is hard to get any co-
operation or a program set up.
I de not find' anybody interest-
ed."
"I thought we had sold 'this
through the county," said Reeve
Agnew. "Personally, .1 carry
fire insurance and life insure
ance and Iwo I do not get
burned out or die, but I 'have
this protection. We may never
have this emergency, but it is
good insurance 'to have this or-
ganization. It would be ,a ter-
rible situation if an emergency
arose and we had 'no prepara-
tion. We would be blamed for
it."
Mr. MacDonald mentioned
that Major John Clark, previn
dal field officer of EMO, was
present •and available to answer
questions.. None were asked of
either at close of Mr. MacDon-
ald's presentation, and • Warden
McCuteheoxi remarked that the
report seemed 'to "have, all the
answers".
Mr. MacDonald reported vis-
iting since last council session.
Legion branches, municipal of-
ficials in, every area except
Sealotth, cadets, Boy Scouts,
Scoutmasters and , hospital

"The Legion is behind us 100
neecent in our county," he said.
"I have covered every branth
and 'the zone conference, end

erans will be 100 pereent be-
hind us' in any planning we put
