RECENT article gave au account of the organisa- tion of a' 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.

For those who live in rural areas have got to realise that no centralised A.R.P. scheme, how- ever well devised, can serve so completely as it can serve a more thickly populated area.

That is because of the vital. factor of time.

It may take the fire-engine or the ambulance half an hour to arrive, at the very least; and in half an hour a fire may gain # fatal hold on a whole village: and women can bleed to death.

MANY villages have already their voluntary dressing stations and stretcher purties: and if these have been properly or ganised and practised, well and good: but to those villages who have not got them it cannot be urged 100 strongly that they be organised at once.

Remember that if there is one casualty in a village from air at- tack there will likely enough be a dozen or more: so make your plans accordingly, don't, base them on the pence-lime ilkelihood of a singin

The moment he pushes that little button his bomb load 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 10 18cwt. of bombs distributed evenly un- der the wing on either side of

NEWER villages, however, are properly organised to resist fire. Yet fire one of the greatest dangers the village has to fare: und It is one in which pre- paredness can be of the greatest value. For speed is the first essen- tial in fire-fighting: it counts be- fore every other factor.

A bucket of water, properly applied in the Arst five minutes, can do more to save the village from burning down than a whole city. fire brigado arriving an hour later!

In the large village where I live, we organised five "Fire Watcher Parties" (each equipped with four buckets and n stirrup-pump) as long ago as September 9 of last year.

Each party has its own section 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- trated on one. Bre for transferred if à, now que breaks out) (by, orders

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 I cannot urge too strongly that some responsible per- son in every village should buy A.R.P. Handbook No. 9, "Incen- diary Bombs and Fire Equipment," published by H.M. Stationery Oflec at 60, and read it.

Only a little common sense is needed to adopt the "Fire Watcher Parties," there envisaged for fac- tories and institutions, to village nceds.

his job in deloil. He is now lying full length on the floor adjusting his sighting apparatus as he watches the target through the safety-glass window below him.

The whole success of the raid depends on this man's enlculations. The pilot follows his directions word by word.

First they must steady the plane as much as anti-aircraft shells und searchlights and Nazi fighters ( uny) will allow. Then the man at the sights sets the scale A, and the speed by height of the plane on the screw C. Next he adjusts the screw on the wind-speed bar und the foresight F is brought into correct position.

No for so good. Now the. tuil

drift must be calculated and the tall-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 pilot nccordingly,

One further check-up throughy 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.
