bomb has put the small commun- nity in the fore of any battle for survival which Canada may have to wage‘ against any attacking

enemy. This was indicated by Health Minister Martin in a carefully- worded statement Friday in the Commons.

The new bomb envisages such wholesale destruction of large

cities that surrounding communi- ties. perhaps as far as 50 miles around, might bear the brunt of rescue work and care for wounded.

Mr. Martin's statement also in-

dicated that. as in the United States. consideration will be given to virtual evacuation of large

cities if sufiicient warning is re- ceived of possible impending at- tack.

He said in reply to a question: “...Information now available on the destructive potentialities of thcrmo-nuclear weapons necessi- tates. here as elswehere. some ex- amination of some aspects of our civil defence program.

Dispersal I-Jmphasised

"It emphasizes the importance of the consideration of matters having to do with the dispersal of urban populations. through evacu- ation. if such need ever arise- and I am not saying that it will.

"Substantial consideration is be- ing given to the problem both in Canada and the United States. The new situation increases the importance of mutual aid in civil defence and we are currently an» gtiged viitli Uxiited Kingdom and United States civil defence author- ities in a reappraisal of the new situation which now exists..."

Up to now. thinking in both Canada and the United States has regarded dispersal of city popula- tion as a virtual impossibility be- cause of likely shortness of notice and chaotic conditions which might be created if evacuation be- came a flight. In other words. it was thought people would have a better chance taking shelter in homes or office buildings than making tliemsehcs sitting ducks in a traffic jam.

This still is the situation in both countries The United States. how- ever. apparently in the belief that

Gives Small Towns New Role In Civil Defence

build-up of warning systems may allow warning of from two to

OTTAWA. iCPi—'I'he hydrogenlthree hours. has asked its cities

to examine the feasibility of evac- uation.

Canada Reviews Position

Canada. it an attack came from the north. would have somewhat less warning. But Canadian civil defence ad-ministrawrs are also re-examining thelr views.

Present thinking in Canadian circles is that cities such as Mont- real. Toronto and Vancouver, with limited avenues of egress. would have an exceedingly difficult task to map out quick evacuation; but that some other cities. such as Windsor, 0nt.. might do it.

In general. opinion is that dis- persal of largecity populations would be possible only under care- ful plans and with full co-opcra- tion of populations educated to what they must do.

Dispersal. as at present on- visaged, does not mean complete evacuation. Certain key personnel must remain and take their chances under the best protection that can be provided.

As in the United States. possib- ility ot population dispersal is a new approach. with strong argu- merits both ways.

(fiviiians Hif. First

One civil defence worker said:

"The civilian population iiiust. rc-aliae that ui any future war it will be in the front line and will be hit first. If the civilian popula- tion is defeated in the first atack. and production stops. the war is lost in the first week." .

To which an opponent of dis- persal replies: "Evacuation is based on the as- sumption that an attacker will drop his bomb where we expect him to drop it and where it will do the most damage. Under war conditions it doesn't necessarily happen that way. That fellow, 30.- 000 feet up has his problems too. He may drop it where he can get rid of lt—perhaps on the 3909 _'-° which the population is fleeing.

Whatever the outcome of the argument. the hydrogen. or fuslolh bomb, promises to do what the atom. or as-lion. bomb. npinrentlv did not—make civil defence a hot topic. _, boro. motored to Charlottetown on March 22.

COMICS AGAIN

With the advent of the SD Comic Book the whole haranguc about Iffidmff for children has taken on new impetus. Newspaper coiumm are filled with high sounding u-gu. mcnt about the exploitation of young minds. Pulplls resound with denunciation of publisher md castigation of those moronic minds that fall for the wiles of news- Sland Dornography. I have even read one learned editorial that as- serts that the teacher is to blame for this wretched business. Appar. cntly the teacher is expected in some quarters to mould the home habits of the child and to steer his reading habits away from “the vul- gurity of the comic books." The whole debate scans to boil down to this: in many quarters it is thought that the comic book is poison. that it ruins minds and perverts souls. and that somehow the teacher and those connected with public education are to blame for the sensational interest that the average child shows in the comic book.

There are times in the lives of all of us when we meet the last straw. I have found such a. straw in this comic book foolishness. From newspapers I have learned that I as a teacher. have helped to ruin a generation‘: grammar. I am to blame for the horrible and lamentable lack of spell-ability. I must take the blame when the employer finds that the high school graduate lacks perseverance, initi- ative. loyalty, or whatever other quality the average employer in- sists upon but very seldom demon- strates himself. When vandals des- ecrate it public park I realize that somehow through by ineptnaas, for which I am underpaid. I am to blame. All those blows I take on the chin like a true warrior. But I think it only fair to dud! and weave ill good style when I get blamed for the comic book craze.

Today is the day of "passing the buck". People don't want too much responsibility. They want comfort and security. Hence the popular- ity of small families and service life. If they get in a. jam they want someone near to catch the buck. And who's nearer than the teacher? Hence. when the comic book looms as a problern—whcn chiidheii. in imitation of their lithographed heroes. murder. rape and mb—-whoa going to take the blame? Never the parent! Nay. Brother! The parent would never be guilty of negligence. even by example. Papa's favourite reading may well be "Lurid Crimes". but Junior doesn't. imitate Papa. don't be silly. And Mama? Why he: habits are no more noxious than bingo, bridge and gossip. It's true she is never home. but how could that harm the children? What. of the editor himself? It's true that on page four he prints his edits that condemn the comic tragedy. But look further ahead. friend. In the back section he has also in- cludcd the comic features to catch the very morons he has smeared with his oil of vitriol. Morons sometimes have nickles tool No one wants to take the blame. and who stands closest to take it on the chin? Why. the teacher of course.

A great problem has been creat- ed. Ncwspapcrs tell us that It generation is being lost to the comic book. Great phrases are uttered. Long sermons are preach- ed. Resolutions are passed and snricties formed. The noise and the din are terrific. But it's my own belief that the only hontest attempt to beat the comic book is not made by the crusader or by the editor. It is made by the aver-
