Planning, Care
A plan for survival against
nuclear attack is nothing more
than insurance. It is .the same
as the insurance we take against
accident, or fire, at the same
time hoping we won't need to
use it, Major J. D. Harvey told
the Home and School Associa-
tion Tuesday evening,

command of the 214 Field

Artillery Regiment of Wing -
ham. In civilian life he is nutri-
tionist at. Topnotch Feeds Lim-
ited, Seaforth.
Canada's position could be
precarious, having regard to
her geographical position be-
tween two powerful nations,
both with nuclear bombs, the
speaker pointed out, as he ex-
plained details of a national
survival plan and plans estab-
lished by the, government for
the Army and for the Emerg-
ency Measures Organization
(EMO).
In his remarks. Major Harvey
indicated the meaning of blast,
radiation -and fallout and the
effect each would have on indi-
vidual citizens in tho event of
attack.
Stormy weather during the
past week, which reduced visi-
bility on area roads to near
zero, resulted in a rash of minor
accidents, according to ; _OPP
-Constable Al Bowering.
Damage of $200 to each ve-
hicle 'resulted Tuesday . after-
noon when cars driven by Garry
Burch, BA . L, Walton, and Dom-
inicM-uxrdy; BR 2, Walton, were
in collision. The accident oc-
curred as the Murray vehicle
was approaching the township
road from the farm laneway in
a blinding storm.
Mr. Murray was accompanied
by his four-year-old son.
Sideswiped on No. 4
A car driven by Gregory Hil-
debrand, Auburn, with Kenneth
Haggitt, Auburn, as passenger,
sideswiped a vehicle driven by
Douglas McDougall, RR 1, Au-
burn, north of Londesboro, Mon-
day. Damage totalled $150.
Snow Blinds
As Joseph Lane, RR 1, Sea -
forth, turned leftoff No. 8 High-
way to his McKillop home on
Thursday, his car was struck,
by a car driven by.. Ralph Hum-
phrey, Guelph. Turn -lights on
the Lane car were not seen be-
cause of blowing snow. Dam-
age totalled $300.
--Huron. is Rid

Shelter from fallout and radi-
ation in this area would require
swift action and advance plan-
ning on the part of each fam-
ily. Elaborate construction is
not a requirement,, but each
family has at its command the
means to provide effective pro-
tection.
Major Harvey warned that.:to
make any survival plan effec-
tive there must be full co-op-
eration. There would be an
opportunity for service for ev-
eryone; he said: -
The speaker was introduced
by Mrs. A. McConney, ,and ap-
preciation was expressed by Dr.
C. --McLennan.
The. meeting endorsed a reso-
Iutron submitted by' the Ontario
Home and School Association,
which stated: "We place our-
selves on record as being op-
posed to the spread of nuclear
weapons to Countries not now
possessing them."
The parent. of the -month was
Mrs. W. C. Moore. Principal J..
W. Talbot announced that the

gin February 13 -and ,,cdntinue
