SPARE MOMENT PAGE

What To Do In An Air Raid

AR

IR Raid on Hongkong! What would you do what can you do to protect your home from the peril of gas and explosive bombs ? Last time we didn't have to do anything we were too for nway But in the next war Hongkong might be one of the first-places to ex- the horros of war from perience the air.

In this article the third of series based on an oMelai booklet issued by the Home Offee to all air rald volunteers, the Telegraph advises that typically Hongkong family, the Carringtons what to do.

You will be in cammnd of your household. Mr. Carrington, the mo- ment you receive warning of the actual approach of hostile aircraft,

We have dealt up to now with the practient side of air raid precautions, It is not their only unpect, That horrible word psychology enters in- to it.

There must be no Indecision, no confusion-minute may make all the difference. You, remember, will he acting in co-operation with hun- dreds of cher householders all over the colony who, too, have studied this elementary, but highly effective, method of home defence.

We will assume,

Mr. Carrington, that you are in your home when the warning is given that on air raid is about to begin,

So make a quick tour of the eight rooms, close all doors and windows to reduce to a minimum the amount of gas which can get into any part of the house.

to from outside. You will exercise coolness here, Mr. Coering- ton. It may be

a temptation to throw buckets of water on the binz- ing coals-but don't do it! If you do you will fill the house with irritant fumes. Smother them instead with earth or sand or salt.

You ask about the light, Mr. Carrington? Turn the gas off at the meter in ense the pipes in the house get damaged and begin to lenit. De not use gas light or parumin lamps in the refuge rnom and, to avoid using up oxygen, if you use candles do not burn more at a time than is neces-

sury.

I will be a good idea to mi the bath with water as a supply in case of fire and also ull available buckets,

ans and basins.

Your house, Mr. and Mrs. Carring- ton, is of the size which I

would describe as easily protectable from the A.R.P. point of view.

Had it been larger, I would have suggested that someone should stay outside the refuge room-either on an

Long ago, of course, Mr. Carring ton, you made your wife responsible for the checking of all articles need ed for the refuge room. She will be doing that, quietly, efficiently while you are making sure that the room Is properly sealed against gas, the fire put out, and the chimney blocked up. And don't forget to dampen the door blanket! It makes a great deal of difference.
