CANADA'S CIVIL DEFENCE
POLICY FOR TARGET AREAS
The only absolutely certain de-
fence 'against the hydrogen bomb
is to be where it isn't. And even
then there is danger from its
radioactive fall -out unless you're
far enough away.
The long-range bomber, capable
of spanning oceans in a few hours,
has brought the H-bomb threat
into the very front yards of North
America. Its ,destructive capabil-
ities are so great that not only
would large cities be in danger but
also towns, villages and even
farms. It is this possibility of in-
finitely greater horror on the home
front should a third world war
come that has created a need for
civil defence measures in Canada
more argent than it was for Britain
during the worst buzz -bomb days
of the Second World War.
But what is civil defence? When
and how did it take on such
importance?
The ultimate aim in war today
is to break the enemy's will to
fight: The ultimate aim of civil
defence, therefore, says the federal
civil defence co-ordinattor, F. F.
Worthington, is: "To reduce the
effects of enemy attack in order
that the people maintain their will
to win, public utilities are restored,
essential ,production can continue
and the government can continue•
to govern."
The value of a civil population
organized to care for itself when
disaster strikes was never more
clear than during the Second
World War. With an efficient
civilian defence organization, Bri-
tain was able to sustain months of
terrible bombings without losing
the will and ,the ability to fight.
It was built, as Canada's is being
built, by using the normal services
and facilities of governments at all
levels, assisted by volunteers and
non-governmental organizations.
Civil defence must be built through
a network -of organization from the
federal government through the
provincial to the municipal leveh
The 'services required of Civil De-
fence are the same now as during
the war: police, fire, health and
medical, welfare, ambulance, war-
den, engineer andpublic utility,
transportation, communications
and information.
But destructive as they were,
the bombs of the Second World
War were like mites compared to
the H-bomb. 0 There was not the
need, as.there is now, to evacuate
whole cities. There was still safety
in bomb shelters. .The big C.D.
job then was after the raid.
Most important was to assess the
damage and casualties as quickly
as possible. The wardens with
their neighborhood setup proved
invaluable for this. But another
problem followed close behind a
bombing raid. People flocked to
the damaged areas to seek inform-
ation about relatives and friends.
And, the British found people
didn't want to go tocity hall, say,
to get it. Setting up inquiry points
on the spot became a part of the
C.D. service to sort out this in-
formation so important to the
civilian population's morale.
Trained volunteers provided
through Britain's C.D. setup to
supplement normal fire fighting
forces were able to increase the
speed with which fires, were con-
trolled and put out. Countless
lives were saved by the quick
action provided through volunteers
trained in rescue and first-aid
work, The norm -al services would
have been swamped. C.D. volun-
teers often worked 72 hours at a
stretch.
Should a nuclear war come to
Canada, Canadians would face' all
the dangers Britons faced, multi-
plied several thousand times. Main
difference is that against H-bomb
attack the only real safety is in
evacuation of potential target
areas --chiefly large cities. The
day of ducking into a shelter dur-
ing a bombing raid and cleaning
up after it is over has Wed.
Canada's ciyil defence policy for
target areas has evolved into four
stages:
1. Evacuation, of non-essential.
persons—children, expectant mo-
thers, aged, infirm and so on—to
outlying towns and villages when
intelligence reports.indicate an im-
pending attack. This likely would
be about 12 hours before the bomb-
ers were expected to arrive and
would involve about 35 per cent
of a city's population.
2. Planned withdrawal of the
rest of the population based �n an
alert from the radar warning de-
vices being thrown up around
North America's outer fringes by
the U.S. and Canada.
3. After the bomb, potential fall-
out areas must be ascertained and
alerted; populations evacuated
from cities must be found shelter
in towns and villages; mobile col-
umns„ would return to the stricken
cities when directed to help those
who may not have escaped in
time and get necessary production
of essential materials under way
again.
4.' Disposal of those disrupted by
the ibomb, rejoining families pro-
viding food and shelter and medic-
al care and so on.
With the capability now' in Com-
munist as well as American hands
of wiping out whole cities and
endangering vast rural areas with
radioactive . dust particles raining
from the sky from one exploding
H-bomb borne in one aircraft, the
importance, of civilians organizing
themselves and being trained to
provide themselves the maximum
protection from such destruction
seems obvious.

Salt -Laden Truck
Rolls Into Ditch
Salt was scattered over the road-
side when a heavy truck, bound
from Goderich to Bervie, rolled
over in a ditch bordering highway
86, in the Lochalsh area, on
September 12.
Driver Miles Armstrc.ug, of
Bervie, crawled from the crushed
cab of the truck with only a shak-
ing -up and minor cuts.
Police said that the truck, said
to have been carrying six tons of
bulk and block salt, rolled over
after the driver wheeled the truck
when his brakes failed at a town-
ship intersection. -

FISHING DOWN
35% IN HURON
The .preliminary esti'ma.te of com-
mercial.fish production for the first
half of 1957, recently issued by the
Department of . Lands and, _Forests
shows 21,126,000 lbs. landed in the
Province. Although this figure is
on a par with the first six months
estimate for 1956, considerable
fluctuation of species is noted in
the various waters. -
'Stuhgeon caught in Lake Huron
showed ail. increase of nearly six-
fold' 1.6 32,000 lbs. However, all
other major species were off rang-
ing from yell -ow pickerel down
17% to 167,000 lbs. and chub, down
30% to 104,000 lbs4 to whitefish,
down 67 to 51,000 lbs. resulting
in a decrease of 35 to- 439,000 lbs.
for the lake as a whole.
In the Georgian Bay, production
of all species was down 36% to
212,000 lbs. with whitefish decreas-
ed 64% to 57,000 lbs., and lake
trout down 59% to 10,000 lbs.
Lake trout landed -in Lake Super-
ior dropped 41% to 114,000 lbs.
Increased catches were noted for
whitefish, 141,000 pounds and yel-
lowpickerel, 112,000 pounds.
