A semi-political football. it has been a Cinderella. with inobodyrbut a few dedicated in- ldivlduals appearing to care whether it lived or died. But a new day has begun. Stark real- ism has replaced the inertia which believed that all this talk about the bombs was so much “eye-wash." Mr. Khrusehev has at last made the world real- ize that. whether he‘s playing .a game of international bluff or not. the time for taking chances has gone by. Civil Defence has died and has been more or less decently interred. From the ashes has risen the Emergency Measures Organization. Perhaps it's just the same thing under a differ- ent name but at least life has been breathed into dry bones. County Responsibility ' by York County Council to the Major Preston was appointedl .wants no more of it.

Here are all the time-tested virtues you expect from Chevrolet plus surprises you‘ve never seen. A full line of saucy new-size models built a new way for easier service and maintenance. Thrifty? Only four cylinders lo feed, or six if you like extra Icamper. Roomy? Sedans seat six solid citizens. Price? A most pleasant surprise (with the heater-defroster at no extra cost ! ). Chevy II doesn’t stint on anything â€"- except gasoline! It. power plants both have hydraulic va-lve lifters and an 8.1.5 to l comp‘ression ratio. There’s Chevrolet’s famous Powerglido ' v automatic transmission available. And there’s a suspension system that includes Mono-Plate Rear Springs â€" part of an advanced, road smoothing sue ension. But high on Chevy II’s list of virtues is the comfort and style that until now has been known on y in cars costing much, much more!

All mun- icipalities in Markham and Vau- ghan Townships are regarded as being in the “target area," should Toronto get attacked. If “ground zero". for instance were 81001' and Bathurst Streets. the whole district could be affected by damage or fall-out. Much would depend upon the direc- tion of the wind. It's an odd fact that a bomb on Detroit. many miles further away. could be more of a problem than one. dropped closer. Prevailing winds might serve to carry [all- out from a local detonation over the lake-whereas. in the case at a high-level bomb exploding over Detroit. wlnd currents could carry the fall-out this way. A compensating factor. however. is that “decay” sets in fairly rapidly and a fall-out laden breeze would lose much of its ;viciousness by the time it reach- ed York County. So. just in case, the Emer- gency Measures Organization is being built in York County. All men and women of good-will will pray that its duties never carry it across the line which separates preparedness from reality. Uormzfi (Sports car @5722... . fizmz‘ly carfim‘z’on THE LIBEEA}.
