A.R.P. FINAL LESSON

Study First Aid

SEVEN FINAL POINTS

THE Carringtons-that typically Kowloon family who have been receiving A.R.P. instruction through the Hongkong Telegraph-have their final lesson to-day.

A few days ago, A.R.P. was just a phrase to them which meant some sort of precautionary effort in the event of war.

Now they know all details of this great scheme for national home defence which, far from bringing war nearer, should make it more remote.

They have learned not to rely entirely on the facilities pro- vided by local authorities, but to co-operate by protecting their own home themselves.

These articles are based on an official booklet issued by the Home Office to all air zaid volunteers. NO WEAK LINK

When in doubt, Mr. and Mrs. Carrington, go to the local A.R.P, officer. You will be well advised to find out the local pre- cautions.
