LIONS HEAR SPEAKER
ON CIVIL DEFENCE
John 5lniPson, public relations of-
ficer for John Labatt Ltd., of London,
was the guest speaker at the regular
meeting of the Liens Club of Wing-
ham in the Hotel Brunswick Friday
evening. Mr. Simpson is a graduate of
the federal government's Civil De-
fence College, He is at present In
charge of the public contact work for
Labatt's Mobile Defence Service.
The speaker said that when the need
for some awareness of the value of a
civil defence program arose the gov-
ernment had etteMpted to arouse the
public by scare tactics, in an effort
to alarm the citizens of this country
to the point of action. Since that time,
however, the approach has been
changed, and sound training is being
offered to those who will prepare
themselves for a possible emergency,
Training-is given in four major'
phases: Handling of fires, welfare andl
health, protective clothing, and per-
sonal and collective discipline. Civil

CHRISTMAS CONCERT •
AT UNITED CHURCH
In the Sunday School room, filled
with parents and friends, the Mem-
bers of the Wingham United Church
Sunday Scheel presented e. very 'in-
teresting Christmas program on Fri-
day evening, In the absence of the
Supt, Mr, Lloyd Mitten, Mr. W. R,
Howson, acted as chairman and Rev.
Dr. Beecreft made the opening prayer.
Mr. Howson spoke of the wish that is
expressed by many people this year,
to put Christ back Into Christmas and
hoped that it might be accomplished
in this Sunday School. A gracious
welcome to everyone was extended by
Brenda McLeanan.
The sixty-two children of the be-
ginner's class, each carrying a candle,
surrounded the manger on the plat-
form and sang "This Little Light of
Mine." These children are taught by
Mrs. Rintoul ',assisted by Mrs, Gordon
Robinson. The songs, "Angels of Beth-
lehem," by Mrs, Lloyd Hutton's class
and "Toyiand Town," by Helen Mac-
han's class were followed with an
exercise from the boys, taught by
Mr. McGuire. An amusing version of
"Old Rag Dolls" was presented by the
girl's class supervised by Mildred
Thornton, while Mrs. Lunn's class
sang "Christmas Stockings" and Mrs
Flodgin's class told of "The Carpenter
of Nazareth." An amusing chorus, the
"Mumps" was given by Harold Wild's
group of boys, who, with their heads
tied up, were experiencing the tragedy
of having mumps at Christmas, Re-
citations were given by Brenda Con-
ron, Stuart Allen, Jimmy Wild, Sally
Crawford and Donna Gillespie, while
Jean Rintoul and Nancy Hutcheson
sang the duet, "0 Holy Night,"
A group of girls dressed in. white
and silver presented a Chirstmas drill
going through the steps and forma-
tions in a perfect manner, These girls
were trained by Mrs, H. Burrell and
Mrs. Gowdy. A playlet, "The Ten
Virgins," by Miss John's class of
girls, wearing oriental costumes and
carrying lamps, was very impressive.
This is the parable of Jesus which
tells us always to be ready and wat-
ching for His coming,
Two pantomines by groups of boys
trained by Jack Currie and Roy Bon-
ner caused much amusement, The first
depicted a scene in a restaurant and
featured a real live cat, The second
was in a dentist's office, showing the
preparation and extraction of a pat-
tients' teeth,
A surprise feature came when all
the teachers and officers of the Sun-
day School were called to the platform
and requested to sing a Christmas
Carol without help of words or music,
The accompanists for the evening
were Mrs. Rennie Goy, Mrs. (Rev.)
Jack Thompson and Miss Caroline
Wellwood.
The climax of the whole program
came with the arrival of Santa Claus
loaded with sacks of candy and good
wishes for all the children.

Defence, said Mr. Simpson, is not an
emergency measure. It is here to stay.
It will be forever necessary in a world
which contains the knowledge of at-
omic weapons, lie spoke of the coin-
parative ratios of destruction of the
atomic bombs which have been de-
veloped since the first of these were
dropped on. Japanese cities at the end
of the war. The destructive force of
the first bomb was fantastic, but the
latest bomb to be clevel*ped is at
leant a thousand times more destruc-
tive . . and now it has been proven
that the hydrogen bomb would have
an effectiveness ten thousand times
greater than the ordinary atom bomb
of latest design,
Mr, Simpson said that he could fore-
see, within a comparatively short
time that training for civil defence
would be enforced by law. Here in
Canada, he said we are not toughen-
ed to the possibility of personal injur-
ies and all the other harrowing ex-
periences of war ,The main point about
civil defence work 'is to train indivi-
duals to look after their own homes
and families as far as possible when
emergencies arise.

preciailea of his talk Was enPreased
