Rugby, Sept. 26. The Minister of Home Security, Mr. Morrison, announced that closer liaison is to be established between the civil defence services and the Home Guard. The latter will in future undertake . standby duties as fireguards, “and in other ways as far as Js compatible with military training and operational needs.” The new duties will be in addition to emergency service after heavy raids. “It would be departmentalism run mad to suggest that because the Home Guard wore military uniform they must not be free to undertake urgent tasks of the defence of cities against fire,” said Mr. Morrison.—B.O.W.
