Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER. RANDOLPH. UTAH Britain Prepares for Gas and Bombs, Hoping Civilization Will Win Next War The diet of the rom crows eggs Rushed to Save Civilians If Enemy Planes Arrive. By WILLIAM LONGREN (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) LONDON. ; HERE AND THERE Some day soon An Irishman entered a ticket office one day and inquired the fare to Chicago. Ten dollars, returned the clerk, but we are making a special rate round-tri- p today. Well sell you a ticket for fifteen dollars. A round-trip- ? Vjiat do you mean? puzzled the Irishman. Yes, explained the clerk, you can go to Chicago and back. Well, said Pat, what do I want to come back for, when Im already death may rain from the British heavens, a screaming, explosive death whose maker will then turn tail and hie for a hidden haven on the European continent. It will be war, an unfair conflict of helpless men against merciless planes and bombs. But England will be prepared in a measure. In the city which first felt aerial warfare from 1914 to 1918, False Alarm The host showed his guest into his bedroom. gave impetus to a matter-of-faresignation that whatever happened, London must be ready to take it. During four days of frantic tablepounding in the capitals of Europe, the folks back home made deliberate, purposeful plans to evacuate 2,000,000 persons from London in two working days. Today, with the air raid precautions program going full tilt, even more could be evacuated. Whats more important, a lot of the folks left behind would be safe. ct Week-en- d , Sport. ARP has become a fetish with the Britishers, a hobby like golf or gardening to Americans. Over weekends youll find them building rock gardens over awkward - looking mountains in their backyards, beautifying the steel shelters to which they may some day flee before gas and shrapnel. Youll find them fituniting gas masks and forms, or studying an official book of regulations covering civilian behavior in time of emergency. Theyre taking the whole thing with good humor, mostly because they cant take it any other way. Britain must be prepared. Children come first. When sirens scream their warning every teacher must rush her charges to railroad or subway stations, or maybe she must hide them in bomb-proshel- gas-pro- of of I DARK DAYS AHEAD?

Infants, Cripples, Too. Evacuated with elementary school children would be youngsters too young for school, accompanied by their mothers, and the physically handicapped. Men must stay, so must women whose children are old enough to care for themselves. Furthermore children of 14 and over must out of elementary school share their parents fate. When the evacuation starts, be it before or after the first raid, arterial highways and express subways will be devoted exclusively to this one purpose, depositing a precious human cargo in outlying districts where bombers would not look for victims. If they secure gasoline beforehand, private groups can drive i al arrangements. The government is very explicit and exacting in its emergency regulations, which would place the entire nation under virtual military rule. For example, the following plan is outlined for children: They should go to school as usual. They should be dressed in their warmest clothing. They should be given an overcoat or mackintosh, hand luggage, a blanket if possible, food for the journey and an apple or orange, but no drinks in bottles. They should take their respirators. Parents Cant Interfere. To reassure worrying parents, the government points out that teachers accompanying the children in the evacuation process will be in constant personal touch with them after they arrive in the country. But parents are not allowed to intrude in the arrangements by accompanying their children to trains or subway stations. Instead notices will be posted at schools informing parents where each child has been sent, and the youngsters themselves will be given a stamped postcard to mail their parents upon reaching safety. The government offers no guarantee of complete protection; indeed it is very frankly admitted that the civilian population should be willing to take its share of risks while men in the field are giving their lives. Although every unnecessary person will be evacuated, it is hoped enough key personnel will remain to keep business moving as usual. raFor adult refugees, a 48-ho- ur tion of food will be supplied ers, but as for shelterfcwell, thats different. Its been bothering Percy Wilson, nationally known housing authority so long, this complex and abstract business of shopping for a home, that hes done something about it in hope of quickening the lagging pulse of Americas construction industry and providing the 1,500,000 new homes he thinks the country needs. His complaint : With the exception of houses, practically every requirement of n and man is sold by and promotional proved advertising aids, because you have to show em to sell em. But the building industry is so big and complex that it strangles itself. Material firms purposely avoid launching large-scal- e construction programs since they would then be in competition with contractors, to whom they sell their products. As for the contractors, theyre essentially craftsmen and are neither expected nor equipped to sell homes. So whos going to do ABOVE: Mr. Wilson examines his brainchild come true, a shopping place for homes. His idea, developed while he was organizer and regional director for the Federal Housing administration, has taken shape in just such a house museum in the Merchandise Mart at Chicago, where visitors can not only examine miniature homes but see every conceivable item that goes to make up a home, from cellar to attic. The exhibit, Mr. Wilsons personal brainchild, shows all modern materials used in building construction, together with all home services and equipment. Huge rooms are devoted exclusively to lumber, brick, stone, marble, terra cotta and other materials, with sidelights on their general values and particular uses. The village of model homes, designed by architects from all parts of the country, includes all section-all-y popular designs Cape Cod, colonial, English cottage, Spanish, n modem and types. Not only is each tiny detail incorporatit? His solution: A more integrated ed, but floor plans and prices are given. merchandising plan.

Standard equipment for every Englishman must of necessity be the gas mask, since it is the least expensive means of providing nominal protection. Between 40,000,000 and 50,000,000 of them were distributed during last Septembers crisis and in the following months, but not until recently was a method found to protect babies, who could not get air through filters and who could only be wrapped in blankets while parents rushed them to the nearest chamber. Now the government has devised a cylinder which looks much like a divers helmet. Air is pumped in through the filter by bellows, which can be idle for as long as two minutes without inconveniencing the child. The ideal ARP plan would provide bomb-proa shelter for every civilian, but this has very logically been ruled out. Not only would the expected warning provide inadequate time for all people to reach their shelters, but deep underground rooms would require years to build. That is why Londons shelters are actually being constructed not for civilians but for such key personnel as doctors, nurses, police and ARP officials. Nevertheless home owners in the big English cities are encouraged to make whatever arrangements they can. The government is concentrating on steel backyard shelters, 1,400,000 of which will be distributed by the end of this year. gas-pro- relief, ana cheeks. he said at you said a THIS WAY IN PHOTOGRAPHY 16 PRINTS 25c Roll Dev. and 16 prints 25c. 16 Reprints 25e.
