RECENT article gave an account of the organisa- tion of 11 certain L.D.V. platoon in a country district. Here are two other sugges- tions to the villages of Great Britain for their defence against air-attack-this time, their civil defence.

It may take the fire-engine or the nunbulance half an hour to arrive, at the very lenst; and in half an hour a fire may gain a fatal hold on a whole village: und women can bleed to death.
MANY villages have already their voluntary dressing stations and stretcher partles: and If these have been properly or- gunised and praelised, weil and good: but to those villages who have not got them It cannot be urged too strongly that they be organised at ouCE,

[N a matter of seconds this British bomber will be over
Its objective. The man at the bomb sights is ready for ac- tion: see the thumb of his right hand there on the press- button control, like the bell- push you have beside your bed when you are in hospital,
The moment he pushes that little button his bomb lond is instantly released-maybe one bomb: maybe two or three at once. And that's where the bomber pilot has to be on the alert. His machine carries anything up to 18cwt. of bombs' distributed evenly un- der the wing on either side of the fuselage. You've seen probably in a big hall or a cinema a control panel carry- ing perhaps a dozen electric light switches. It's a panel like that which the pilot has to watch in releasing his bombs.
The raid works this Way, The plot (top back in Artist Haworth's sketch) is in com- plete and constant telephonic touch with his man at the bombsights (In the fore- ground). This man sees their target moving slowly into range. Warns the pilot how few they're progressing, a more thousand yards and that will do it. The pilot pulls a lever in his cockpit: lets down the bomb doors. Now comes let the switchboard. He'll
the Nazls have three to be going on with. Down go bomb switches 1, 3, and 6.
HAT means those three bombs mly those three-are ready for release. He gives the O.K. to the man at the sights. It's up to him now. When he presses that button with his right thumb away they go, and up lurches the plane. The pilot has to be ready for that. A tricky business.

A bucket of water, properly applled in the first five minutes, can do more to save the village from burning down than a whole city fire brigade arriving on hour later!
In the large village where I live, wa organised five Fire Walcher Parties" (each equipped with four buckets and a stirrup-pump) os long ago as September 9 of Inst year.
Each party has its own scellon of the village to look after; but a messenger system has also been thoroughly practised, and by it any number of parties can be concen Irated on one firp (or transferred if now one breaks out) by orders from the Wardens Post.
FOR smaller villages, per-
haps, nothing quite so elaborate is necessary. But there should not be a village in the country without one or two such parties and cannot urge too strongly that some responsible per- son in every village should buy A.R.P, Ilandbook No. 9, "incen- dlary Bombs and Fire Equipment, published by H.M. Stationery Ofce at Gd., and road it.
Only a little common senso is needed to adapt the "Fire Watcher Partles," there envisaged for fac- torics and institutions, to village needs.
In these pages, too, will be found all Information essential to the training of the amateur village fire- man. Verbal instruction by pro- fessionals (though valuable where it can be bad) is not really neces- sary.
Study the theory; practise your pump-drill; and then concentrate the watch-word "Speed"—

your equipment is so light-and practise until you have eliminated every possible second of delay.

The whole success of the raid depends on this man's calculations. The pilot follows his directions word by word,
First they must steady the plane as much as anti-aircraft shells and searchlights and Nazi fighters (it any) will allow. Then the man at the sights sels the senie A, and the speed by height of the plane on the screw C. Next he adjusts the serew on the wind-speed bar and the foresight F is brought into correct position.

O for 50 good. Now the tail drift must be calculated and the tail-drift bar, just below the letter F, has also to be set. All the while the bomb man is watching his compass E and guiding the pilst accordingly.
One further check-up through backsight B and foresight F, and then the Instant the target appears between the two arrows G home goes that right thumb on the but- -ton and away go the bombs.
If all the calculations have been correct, they're dead on the mark.

CHARLES CHAPLIN has ob- tained an injunction against the Idistribution of 2,200,000 copies of "Life" magazine, which con tain a full-page picture of him as The Dictator," not yet au- thorised for publication.
Judge Knox granted the injunction fatter the comedian brought a suit for £20,000 agrl::st the publishers. The Judge ruled that 1,000,000 copies of the magazine, already in the hands of newsagents might be sold, but rest, printed but unshipped; must be scrapped
