THE.1'•;00PHOI,E$ • 'Though a few, shallow -minded •and unimaginative souls thought that exercise "Flame -up" was a joke, the lessons taught by 1.1'ridas' night's Civil Defence demonstration, should he studied with care. The exercise was carried opt smoothly •as far as the overall pic- ture is concerned, and it did bring out hundreds of people who, 110 doubt, have had some pretty vague notions about both the pm-pose.and the usefulness of CD activity. During the coarse of the eVening there were many spots at which the organization did not function prop- erly . and these isolated break- downs are by long odds.the most im- portant aspect of the entire exercise. The very purpose of these civil de- fence trials is to find out exactly where,error, and confusion would set in if an actual disaster occurred. • Civil Defence means preparedness— and preparation can only be made when we are familiar with the rough spots and know something of •the methods required to cirCturivent thern. . The exercise was of most signifi- cant importance to the staff and Ladies' Auxiliary of the Wingham Hospital, disasteriplan was. work- . ed out months ,aga for the .hospital and 'district doctors. "Flame -rip" proviided a fine opportunity to put the Plan to realistic test and Pdke it for weak Spots: Mrs. Iris' Morrey tad US that it operated very effic- iently except in 'a few particulars, and hospital a.uthorities were glad to be able to note them when.no lives were at stake. The public should realize, of course, that Friday night's exercise b not necessarily preparation for what we all hope is some.very re- mote possibility •of war. The train- ing and preparations involved would be equally useful in the event of any civil calamity, such as a bus accident, a tornado or major fire, The fact that none of these disas- ters have struck this area so far is of little significance. Such things can and usually do strike without previous warning. Any Boy Scout can give you the proper answer, "Be Prepared". Civil Defence has been discussed off and on for the past seven years in this town ,and the exercise on Prida,y evening was the first prac- tical action which has ever been taken, Our compliments to Co- ordinator Jack Gorbutt, his deputy, Constable "Bob" Lewis, who max many of the arrangements, and to the . dozens of volunteers, who car- ried out a very, worthwhile event, REMEMBER •.00TOBER 3RD •Ye's; we want to jog your mem- ory again, October 3rd, which is Friday evening of this week, ivill,see representatives from many organ- izations and councils in this area gathered at the council chamber to discus the question of a swimming pool, • You are not asked to attend that meeting simply to say yes.

"Our amazing post -War progress has been hugely the resuit Of the growth in our heavy and secondary industries," Mr, Armour said, "While this growth has in turn • been linked with the deveiopment -of primary or _extractive industry, we could never have achieved our present highly inevitable position If we bad relied oniy upon develop- ments In the •forestry or mining industries. We shall not in future continue to progress unless we do • everything in •our power to create conditions' favorable to The con- tinued growth of heavy and second- ary industry within Ontario, "Neither governmental policy nor .public attitudes are now as favor- able is they should be if such growth is to continue. Neither im- migration nor tariff nor taxation policies have, been framed to meet the peculiar needs of manufaCtur- hag in this harsh, vast and thinly- • populated country.

For if we do not continue to provide here a domestic market for manu- facturing and other secondary in- dustry, all the rosy forecasts as to our progress will certainly be nullified."
