An outline of what was required in the Napier earthquake in dealing with the casualties and dead was given to the Law and Order Section o£ the E.P.S. last night by Superintendent C. AV. Lopdell. He detailed the methods which were adopted at Napier to identify the dead, and reviewed the steps which the police had been instructed to take in the event of an emergency. The superintendent also referred . to powers of the Law and Order Section? His address proved most helpful. The Churchill Book.

The Churchill Book was written by Sir Winston Churchill, father of the first Duke of Marlborough and a direct ancestor of Mr Churchill, and is < an exceedingly rare volume entitled “/All the Kings of This Isle,” published in 1675.
