- Description
- A large box containing a audio-amp, a wooden triangular prism with a decorative round speaker, and six smaller rectangular boxes. All are made of a light wood, and have different functions.
- Object History
- This audio-amplifier set was used by Mr. Edward A. Fountain, who was appointed as Civil Defense Coordinator on May 5th, 1952. He also built the wooden boxes which contain each part of the set. The Burnaby Civil Defense Department was established in order to disseminate information guiding the public on how to react in response to the impending threat of nuclear war and Russian bombers. In the early 1950’s, this education centered primarily on evacuation, as members of the public were expected to prepare and essentially fend for themselves in the event of a nuclear attack. These pieces of audio technology are believed to have been used at Civil Defense rallies in Burnaby, which Edward Fountain would have been involved in as the department director. According to Burnaby City Council meeting records, music and defense operation demonstrations were commonplace at such rallies, and are examples of what this set was used for.

- Description
- Paper listing several radio signals used by the Civil Defense department. Paper is creased and yellowing especially around edges and folds.
- Object History
- This “Ten – Signals” paper was donated alongside the audio-amplification set, belonging to Mr. Edward Fountain. The signals represented on the paper were used in training volunteers in the Burnaby Civil Defence Department, of which Mr. Fountain was named Director/ Coordinator in 1952. The Burnaby Civil Defense Department was established in order to disseminate information guiding the public on how to react in response to the impending threat of nuclear war and Russian bombers. In the early 1950’s, this education centered primarily on evacuation, as members of the public were expected to prepare and essentially fend for themselves in the event of a nuclear attack. Training took place throughout the City of Burnaby and in the surrounding regions, as the Civil Defence departments of several municipalities (namely the City of Vancouver and the City of New Westminster) partnered together in evacuation and recovery training, where the use of instructional training papers such as this would come into play.
