Tuesday, June 29, 1943 It is nothing new for us in this column to comment on the possibility of some sort of enemy attack on this coast this summer. Now W. C. Mainwaring of Vancouver, head of the Civilian Protection Committee for this coast, has something timely to say on the same subject.. In commenting on the particularly dangerous period now beginning, Mr. Mainwaring says: "Before this summer is over, enemy bombs and incendiaries may well fall on British Columbia targets." "June to September, when the woods become tinder-dry, is the time enemy action is more to be expected and feared. Fire, of course, would be the most feared result of raids during the summer months, and we may as well face facts." "Apathy on the part of the public, as well as our A.R.P. personnel, possibly the result of recent American successes at Attu, is not justified, for we are far from being out of the woods yet." "There are several means at the disposal of thp Japanese that could facilitate raids on this coast, which must not be overlooked," he continued. "I do not feel that there is as great a risk of heavy bombing attacks as there is of sporadic raids, but regardless of what type they are, we must be ready." "To better realize that we cannot relax our nve-cautions, let us look at the enemy's position, and what could happen." "First, there is the possibility of direct air attack from the Kiska base. Suicidal, granted, but then, some planes might get through. Even with the magnificent air and ground defences developed in Great Britain, some planes still manage to get through to their targets," "Secondly, there is the small nuisance-raid possibility by sea plane from submarines, which' would, doe to the size of the aircraft, consist mainly of incendiary and incendiary leaflets." "Next, there is the possibility of long range' sea-pfase bombing from the Kiska base, or even farther away, using- a chain of submarines as refueling bases Impossible? Of course it isn't." "A serious hazard is created by the West Coast fogbank which develops early in June and lasts through September each year. Just a few miles offshore, "this natural smoke screen extends from the Aleutian chain down most of the length of the Pacific Coast, lying low on the water and giving negligible visibility either from air or water." "This fogbank would provide a splendid hiding-place for carriers to manouevre in while releasing bombers, or awaiting their return." "I wonder if the average person ever stops to think of what incendiary bombs and leaflets would do to our forests, fields, and homes. If any thought at all is given to it, we must realize the necessity of iiuu idaAing our vigilance lor an instant." "Let no one be ennvinpprl tVmr tho nh iam on tnis coast are non-existent real, very genuine." They are very Mr. Mainwaring appeals to all A.K.P. personnel the vulnerable coastal nrpns "in ho nn fv. ni.t and to strengthen, rather than relax, precautionary measures.

Not the real Derby, '6t course, but this hack, Saudades, which never had been galloped before beat several thoroughbreds over a quarter-mile course to feature Epsom and Ewell's Wings for Victory Week. Eritered by Rev. Mother Veronica who runs the riding school for children at St. Teresa's Convent, Saudades was ridden by Ed Smith, a winner ol the real Derby in 1939. There were other famous jockeys in the race, too, and Derby conditions were reproduced as nearly as possible. The course was laid out on a recreation ground; race cards were sold by members of the Civil Defence Services dressed as gypsies, and bookmakers shouted the odds from their stands. Other riders in cluded such outstanding figures as Gordon Richards, many times Britain's champion Jockey; Michael Beary, Tommy Carey and Steve Donoghue, now a trainer. "Saudades is the gentlest' horse imaginable," said Mother Veronica. "He's not even a thoroughbred. I bought him less than a year, ago as a two-year-old. .Saudades will remain the children's pet,' she added. 'We will never enter him for another race."
