Cottage Grove police reserves
heard a summ ary of the chief
topics of the recent F B I school in
Portland by M yron Perry, chief
of police, at the regular meeting
Monday evening at the c ity hall.
The F B I school, held a week pre
vious in Portland, was fo r the
express purpose of passing on in
form ation to the various officers
regarding the various methods of
c ivilia n defense, so th a t those a t
tending m ight pass the in fo rm a
tion on to the police reserves in
the western localities.
C hief speaker at the F B I
school was Vincent Garber, direc
to r o f the federal bureau o f in
vestigation a t B utte, Montana.
M r. Garber recently returned
from London, England, where he
spent some tim e studying the de
fense methods of th a t city.
The firs t half day o f the school
was spent in viewing motion, pic
tures made by Scotland Yards and
released only to officers.
The
firs t picture entitled “ Mr. Proud
Foot,” showed the effects o f the
viola tion o f the blackout rules
th a t started the largest fire Lon
don had ever seen. The fires were
started by the K ilo bomb, an in
cendiary bomb,
w eighing 120
pounds. Methods o f extinguishing
the fires by pouring sand over the
blaze were shown and by use o f a
fine spray o f w a te r through a
spray pump.
Protection against sabotage was
also one of the chief topics dis
cussed at the school. The key to
sabotage is usually found in the
waste paper basket, showing the
necessity o f destroying evidence
of waste paper and carbon paper
by responsible parties.
