THE E.P.S. BOOKLET
Sir, After reading "Wondering Winnie's" letter on July 25, I nearly discarded my E.P.S. booklet. "Wondering Winnie" has spread so much dampness, it is doubtful if any bomb could cause a fire. Apparently "Wondering Winnie" has so much done for her and expects so much more that, she is too lazy to adopt a few of the following suggestions, "which she considers worthless," as published in the E.P.S., such as turning off gas jets, electric light switches, water mains or walking for a doctor and other such sensible things as written in that little hook. "Wondering Winnie" is going to look for a place a long way off. A good idea. She would only be in the way of those trying to help themselves and others. I hope, however, she does not head for Castor Bay. Neighbours here would lend a shovel and we have a beach of sand. Maybe the bomb "Wondering Winnie" is not going to worry about will fall in the'right place and do a favour for those who are going to help themselves by even such ideas as in the E.P.S. If "Wondering Winnie" over gets hack from her "look place" she will tell us, Ijhope, just what to do in an emergency. Borrowed Shovel.
