FIRE GUARD ORDERS
$m,—In your remarks on the Fire Guard Orders last week you state: " What a well-organised service courd do against raids on the R.A.F. scale is problematic." . I submit that in the cities and large towns attacked on the scale you mention the Civil Defence organisation would com- pletely break down and that there would be no alternative to evacuation of the population. This points to the importance of the small towns, and rural areas being fully organised for the reception of evacuees on a scale not yet experienced. I suggest that every local authority in the areas earmarked for their reception should appoint a committee to work out a scheme to cover all foreseeable requirements, of which emergency cooking and sanitary arrangements are amongst the two most important.—I remain,
yours faithfully, W. B. CURELL. Pudners, Poughill, Bude, Cornwall.
