MAKE IT LIFE.LIKE
Are we still too green to stand an unannounced air raid alarm—something lifelike, with a few planes overhead giving the best imitation they can devise of bombs, with machine-guns using blanks. »Let us see what the community's nerve will stand and see how thev will tend to react in a real emergency. The pilots should be able to give us good hints afterwards of the kind of targets people make walking up to dispersal areas, when planes can conic as low as they please in the absence of A.A. batteries. As it is. everyone who can will stay home on Monday morning, while shopkeepers and other business people twiddle their thumbs waiting for customers to turn up. Every raid practice costs time, money and effort, so why not get down to brass tracks right away. A. PETER YOUNG."
