EDITORIAL COMMENT
Wingham has apparehtly got it-
self a reputation for high taxes, judg-
ing from an editorial note in the
Goderich Signal-Star which says:
"We have mentioned2Wirgham's tax
rate of 72 mills as a sample of high
municipal taxation, but. Clinton goes
two points higher with a' rate of 74
mill,' Glad to see there's somebody
ahead of as, ;
"Sees Soviet by '59'1..Abie to De-
stroy U,S,", said a headline in the
paper this week, fly the time every-
body's able to destroy everybody else,

as •it:is,to the large city, T3asically
the danger threatened by war is
the same as ever: destruction,
death and injury. But, says F. Y.
Worthington, federal civil defence
co-ordinator:
"While the over-all effects of
a mass saturation raid Such as
took place in the summer of 1043
on Hamburg was tremendous, the
atomic bomb is capable of creat-
ing the same. degree of destructior
'from one 'bomber and 'one bomb
in a matter of • a few minutes. 'In
cbnsequehce our danger is very
much greater,"
'So civil defence today is differ-
ent in many ways born that which
was used during the Second World.
War. It has had to change as the
threats of new weapons changed.
The single atomic bomb that
fell on Hiroshima in August 1945,
destroyed 62,0000 of 00,000 build-
ings and damaged 6,000 more be-
yond repair. As a result of the
bomb, 80,000 of the city's 250,000
population died. The first H-bomb
tested destroyed everything within
three miles, severely damaged
everything within seven miles and
lightly damaged as far as ten
miles. More powerful bombs have'
since been tested, .
It became apparent, says the
federal co-ordinator that civil de-
fence planning had to he revised,
Emphasis was shifted from a pol-
icy of "duck and cover" to one of

Until they slowly drift to the ground
as "fall-out," This fall-out may
cover an area 150 or' chore miles
long.. and 40 miles wide, depending
on air currents.. The . danger it pre-
sents also varies, depending on the
length of time it has drifted in the
sky. .Animal life touched by fall-
out radiation may die or become
severely ill.
But this threat is far from hope-

decays rapidly and danger has
largely disappeared, usually with-
M- 48 hours, A community could
escape the danger if it were pre-
