A special meetigg of the Turn-
berry Township 001=01 and the
Winghant Town Council was held,
on Wednesday afternoon 'of last
week to consider the advantages
Of setting up a Joint Planning
Board.
The group heard William Demp-
sey, field man for the Department
of Planning and Development, and.
Howard S. Smith, of Kitchener,
planning consultant, describe what
a planning board can do for a
municipality. The two men answer-
ed questions on the subject and
made the recommendation that it
would certainly be advantageous
to have a joint board ter the two
municipalities rather than a hoard
which would have jurisdiction in
Winghetm only,
Mayor !McKinney explained that
the town had already made ap-
plication to set up a planning
board, but would be happy to join
with Turnberry if the council of
the rural municipality •desired . to
co-operate.
The matter was left in the hands
of the Turnberry council for its
consideration.
However, it would appear from
the discussion that the rural group
was highly interested in the pro-
ject and that its, decision will
probably be in favour of the plan.

By DORIS G. MeKIBBON

din, of Wingham,
In order to provide better fire

Within this past year a conden-
sed version of
ALAS, BABYLON
by Pat Frank
appeared in a well-known women's
magazine. I began the first, install-
ment hut somehow never complet-
ed it, or any other installment.
Recently I came upon it in the li-
brary. It is similar to Nevil
Shute's "On the Beach" in that it
deals with atomic war. Incidentally,
the Shute book and the film based
upon it are both worth reading nr
seeing. I shall not review that
book, however, as I fancy many
have already read it. "Alas, Baby-
lon" does not deal with total an-
nihilation of the human race. It
leaves a thin thread of hope of
survival for groups of people all
over the world.
The title comes from the Book of
Revelation. It was part of a quo-
tation used constantly by Preacher
Henry of the First Afro-Repose
Baptist Church The two Bragg
boys of Fort Repose, while children
used to listen outside the church
to Henry's thundering sermons on
Sunday nights. TO them it became
a private signal to 'betoken "dis-
asterAwmal or comic, oast or future".
Mark, the elder brother, used it in
a telegram to Randy to warn him
of the brief but complete atomic
war that was coming.
Randy Bragg, the central figure
in the book was a decent, amiable
young man, He had the means to
live reasonably well without exert-
ing himself too Much, thus he en-
.
joYed his own laziness. Fort Re-
pose, near Orlando,. Florida, es-
caped the nuclear bonibing but was
cut off froth the rest of the state
and of course the remainder of the
country and the world. Its elec-
tricity, coming frorn Orlando, was
one of the first utilities to go. As
long as the feW available batteries
could be charged, (and that re-
quired real neighbourly co-opera-
tion), contact by radio ebuld be
maintained with the central gov-
ernment, now located in Deriver.
Eventually, 'however, Fort Repot()
was completely isolated.
Seine reacted as Edgar Quisen-
berry, the bank manager, did, He
could. not change his sense of val-
ties, His wife's remark that "life
goes on" brought this reply, "How
could life go on with no Federal
Reserve, no, Treasury, no Wall
Street, '.110 'bonds, no bank . . . Let
them try to get on without dollars.
He could not accept such a world".
The only way to accomplish that
Was to cease living—which he did.
Others did manage without dollars
—they traded goods and services.
till become dependent on their own
hands and heads and each other.
They were forced to live like
pioneers. It was more difficult for
them than for the pioneers too,
because they had always had at
their disposal gadgets, machines
and the products of other com-
munities.
It is a fascinating book. In the
near future, such was is, I am sure,
possible. There is danger, relieVed
by 'adventure. Life' maybe a strug-
gle but there is still a place for
humor and romance. The problems
to be met appear insurmountable'
—no sooner is one solved than two
More appear. Food and water and
shortly 'thereafter salt are basic
necessities that it takes much in-
genuity to procure. By Pooling their
resources and energies these people
survive. In the crisis Handy sheds
his irresponsibility and becomes
responsible for the welfare of 'Lib
McGovern, a neighbor girl and her
father, his brother's wife and their
two children and even the doctor

operative community that embraces
a nearby retired naval officer, a
librarian, a former Wester% triton
operator and a negro 'family of

tually martial law has to be de-
clared when highwaymen from out-
lying districts prey upon those
