EMO Coordinator Says Huron is Not Behind Others
by W. . Elliott
GODEitICI-i. -" At no tittle
have 1 heard any of the EMO
co-ordinators Say there would
be no casualties," said Reeve
Morgan Agnew of Clinton in
.presenting to Huron` county
Council the report of his emer-
gency measures committee.
"We are bound to have casual-
ties, but we can minimize
them a great deal if we oper-
ate on our own. Self-preser-
vation is predominant among
us all."
"The initial warning,"
Huron co-ordinator Murray Mac
Donald said later, "is just to
turn on your radio and make
any preparations not previously
attended to. Then there will
be an announcement from the
prime minister, or the prem-
ier, or failing him the warden:
Mr. Agnew's committee has
agreed to purchase for the
courthouse basement food sup-
plies for 14 days, pressure -
style lamps, stove, beds, etc..
sufficient for personnel number,
ing 30. It has been agreed
that telephone jacks, will be in-
stalled, and that six transistor
radios will be purchased, to be
distributed throughout the coun-
ty.
"It has been clarified," sta-
ted the committee report,
"that immediately an alert
should take place, everyone is
to take cover until the 'all
clear' is given, The basement
is to be manned when the 'all
clear' is given, and people are
able to come out from cover
for a short period of time at
least, and are to await their
instructions."
In adopting the report, coup°
Gil approved the following re-
commendation: "That the co-
ordinator first of all endeavor
to stimulate the organization
of an emergency measurespro-
gram at the local level and to
advise the members of the
planning committee the names
of their counterparts as soon as
the local areas have been or-
ganized. Then it will be the
duty of the planning commit-
tee personnel to organize their
duties in co-operation with the
co-ordinator and the people so
named by him,"
" The communtiy group or-
ganization," said Mr. Mac-
Donald. "has had one year of
operation, and is now in oper-
ation to a degree in Goderich.
and Wingham and to a lesser
degree in Exeter. The com-
munication plan has been ap-
proved. Emergent headquarters
of the county should be Cqm-
pleted by the end of DeceMber,
Reception area plans are re-
solved and approved by zone
and province and are being
used as a guide by the province;
A survey of population has been
done by age, trade and sex,
buildings completed for accom+
modation and a survey made as
to hospital accommodation,
"From the public education
point of view, more that 60
books have been given togroup
this year, Visits to towns,
meeting municipal officials,
have been completed. There
have been 12 television pro-
grams to a district which in-
cludes Bruce, Grey, Middle-
sex, Wellington and Lambton.
A continuous supply of publi-
cations has been established in
each library, We had exhibits
at the trade fairs in Wingham
and Goderich.
"There are only two or three
shelters in our county. I
would say there are hundreds
of basements and first floors
prepared. There has been a
lot of gain from the recent
crises, which could well be a
blessing in disguise. Now the
Indians and Chinese are going
to have a cease-fire, but in
both trouble spots the parties
are still armed with lethal
weapons.
"I think we can safely say
we are not behind any of tine
other counties. I forecast that
this year we would have a
fairly cheap year. We did not
spend our full budget, but I
feel now we have the exper-
ience we should in the corning
year spend every penny wecan
get, After two years, cost
should go down,"
To Reeve Valentine Becker
of .Hay, Mr. MacDonald said
that Huronview at Clinton "is
probably the most adequately
secure building in the county.
The whole staff could move in
and function from the basemen
Emergency hospitals will be in
Wingham and Goderich high
schools. I have surveyed only
three hospitals, and Wingham
is most advanced."
Annual Banco
