Mrs. Garfield Denomme will be convener for the 3anuar3 meeting. How does the new Huror County emergency measures co- ordinator, T. Murray MacDon- ald, view his survival post? Here's bis preliminary plan. as outlined to area councils last week. "In order that you will know my feeling on the subject of Emergency Measures, I would like to express the following. First, clue to the present world situation Emergency Measures planning and prepar- ation is most necessary and this can be done without disturbing our normal domestic peace- time existence, Furthermore it can be done without causing al- arm and establishing state of fear. Secondly, I am convinced that a great deal can be done with- out costing a cent of the tax- payers' money. For example. Planning: This can be done costing only time and delibera- tion. Preparation: Practical pre- paration can be made in the homes, in industry and institu- tions by sensibly utilizing per- sonnel and present facilities. Money is not necessarily a li- miting factor in this county if each one of us devote a lit- tle time and effort. 7, Thirdly, there is no room in present day existence for a member of a community who - feels — "What is the use; if it. happens, we will all perish" or' "It is the government's respon- sibility." We are most fortun- ate in Canada and especially in our county. Our county could be subjected to radiation fall- out. With planning and prepar- ation now by you. with my as- sistance, the great proportion of our 49,000 county inhabit- ants will live through a nu- clear attack. Furthermore, we can fulfill a most important mission as a support area help- ing less fortunate districts. We can provide rescue companies to help out elsewhere and here in the county we can provide accommodation facilities for some casualities and displaced homesless personnel. In conclusion as far aq my personal feelings are concern- ed, I have visited both the areas in Japan that were hurt during World War Two by nu- clear attack and believe me am convinced that it is worth- while to survival—to plan and prepare." At this season of giving', we are reminded of an old saying: "It is not the shilling 1 give you that counts, but the warmth that it carries with it from my hand."
