AIR RAID PRECAUTIONS

Some Reasons Why They Are Necessary

(BY CLE'S. METCALFE)

"

The measures for safeguarding the civil population against. the effects of air attack have become a necessary part of the de- fensive organization of any country which is open to air 'attack. The need for such measures is not related to any belief that war is imminent. It arises from the fact that the risk of attack from the air, however remote it may be, is a risk that cannot be ignored, and because preparations to minimize the consequences of aerial attack cannot be improvised on the spur of the moment, but must be made, if they are to be effective, in time-of porco..

To these people, per- ualties. haps, the following "homely" ex- amples may be of some value. The majority of householders, before retiring for the night, lock and bolt their doors and windows, not be cause they are expecting a burglar, but because they appreciate that such people as burglars exist, and so they take adquate precautions. Or, again, the wise househcider takes out a fire insurance policy on his house, not presumably be- cause he is expecting his house to be burnt down, but rather because he appreciates that there is always a risk of fre.

Due to the vulnerability of this country and the increasing speed and weight-carrying capacity of modern aircraft. It is anticipated that raids of the future will far exceed anything that was perienced during the late war. Only a few minutes will elapse be tween the warning of a raid and the arrival of the attacking 'planes. It is, therefore, absolutely neces- sary that the public should know exactly what to do, as any delay la putting a scheme into opera- tion might result in a serious num- ber of casualties."
