HOME GUARD IN BRITAIN
COMPULSORY MEMBERSHIP Rugby, Jan., 21. The War Office announces that defence regulations providing for the application of compulsion in the Home Guard have been g'-.etted. These implement the proposals announced in the House of Commons on 21st December by the Secretary for War. The adoption of complementary action in regard to part-time civil defence workers was also announced on Thursday evening by the Home Secretary. Though he did not for a moment doubt the willingness of the men and women who had shown such a fine example of courage and efficiency in the days of heavy German raids on the cities and towns of Britain to continue to offer their services, Mr Herbert Morrison said the vital I necessity of obtaining protection for [the life of our cities and the morale !of the people required that certain numbers of the civil defence personnel should at all times be available. — : b.o.w.
