Driving along the sideroads in the
spring is. a pleasant pastime these
days, when the trees are ,coming out
in,leaf, the birds are .singing, and the
spring flowers are starting to appear.
The disappearance of the last snow
reveals many of the glories of, nature
along the.back concessions.
Unfortunately it also reveals some
other things, which looked much
bet or, covered up by the snows of

dumps which clutter up the country-
side, 'and remind one of the old saying
about.only man being vile.

Firemen400king for$a Fire
Considerable confusion has been
fused to the local fire department on
its calls to the country by the fact
that directions given over the phone
are not too clear. In one recent case
in point the only directions supplied
to the firemen were the than's name
and address, "south of Vordwich",
That covers a pretty wide area..‘
ft means that the firemen will have
to enquire of people they chance to
meet along the route, hoping to find
someone who knows where the scene
of the fire is located. Sometimes the
firemen have to backtrack because
they have unknowingly passed the
fire, and on other occasions -they have
taken what turned out to be the
longest way around because they
weren 't very clear in the first place
where to go.
At a recent fire in the country we
saw, the fire chief go , ahead in his
own Car to ask people where the fire
was,.hoping . to find out before the
fire truck caught up with him. With
such a system, or lack 'of it; it's a
wonder firemen ever get to the scene
of the fire at all.
Most of the firemen' have a pretty
fair, knowledge of the back roads of
their area. MoSt of them ,Can find a

befaced -with the problem of what to
do with children who want to swim.
Although the people of town can
afford arenas, golf clubs and curling
rinks, there is apparently not enough
money available for a swimming popl,
too, and the kids must therefore risk
their lives swimming at the dam.
'Of course they can go to more
fortunate communities, like Tees-
-water, where there is a swimming
pool, but it is a bit awkward (and a
little silly) to go ten miles fora ,swim
when there is so much water right
here in Wingham.
There's no doubt about the fact that
swimming pools cost money.' We
aren't advocating that the town issue
debentures for $30,006, or whatever
it costs for a swimming pool. Neither
do we suggest that a canvass be made
of the businessmen to raise funds for
that purpose. Both the town and the
businessmen are a L,bit tired of that
sort of thing,
It does seem, however, that there
must be some inexpensive way of pro-
viding safe swimming for the children,

An Old Country doctor declares
that frequent immersion in hot water
has no hygienic valtie. "Bathing in

The mechanization of war has
made cities, where factbries and
industrial plants are most densely
concentrated,' the likeliest targets
in a nuclear war, Federal civil de-
fence officials estimate that one
H-bomb, with the destructive force
of 5,000,000 tons of TNT, would
obliterate everything in an area
of about 27 square miles.
'Teat wouldn't leave much of any
a city: not to be there, when the
bomb goes off. A basic plan of
evacuation that can be 'adapted to
any Canadian city has been worked
out by federal civil defence ex-
perts, Briefly, it is this: •
Phase A—Eno4ghavarning of an
attach is expected so that abotit a
third of the population; can be tak-
en out to communities up to 100
miles away. This would include
children up to high school age,
mothers with small children, pat-
ients and , staffs of hospitals and
others Who have key.,Work to do,
Phase B—Planned withdraWar of
the rest of the population When-at-
tack appears certain. Every avail-
able means of transportation would
be used, This requires a care/1111Y
worked out plan, for which the
provinces and municipalities are
responsible. A City must be divided
into sectors, each With its exit
route, No traffic would be allowed
to cross exit routes and incoming
traffic would be stopped at least
25 Miles omit of the city, Police and
civil defence volunteers' must pro-
vide the vast amount of supervis-
ion required for carrying out the
evacuation,
Plan C—Civil defence aethoritiee
meet instruct the public on what-
ever additional survival action
Should be taken as the borrib ex-
plodea, Iilveryone roust reniain In
shelters, or If on an evacuation
route, keep going until directed to

SAME OLD PROBLEM
TURNS UP AGAIN
The Bible Today
A new book now goes along with
pencils, Ink, pens, erasers, exercise
books, and staple readers, in the
hands of children leaving the
"store" beside ,,the Guatajata, Bap-
tist Church educational buildhig in
Bolivia. It is the New Testament
in "Aymara:" or "Biblia Aymara".
Years ago the only portions of
the Bible in this Indian language
were the translation of Luke made,
over one hundred years ago by a
priest and a translation of Mark
made some thirty years ago by one
of• the Methodist national workers.
Twenty years ago the four Gospels
were printed for general mission-
ary work.
Now the whole New Testament
has been ,translated and printed
under Bible Society auspices. A
Canadian girl, a language special-
ist, Ellen Ross, has worked on the
final corrections of the prOofs
ing the ,past two years.
