Investigation revealed that the cord leading to the bells was on fire. . r Miles of wires, both electric and telephone, but particularly the lat ter are down at Silverton with crews working both day and night. Silverton officials were busy answering calls throughout Wed- nesday night and Thursday, where electric wires were believed to be dangerous.

Advice Given On Air Raids School at West Salem Gets Instructions; Faculty Man Named WEST SALEM The school teachers have received the follow ing instructions from the US of fice of civilian defense telling what the teachers . and pupils should do during an air raid: "The school fire alarm should be sounded in a special way for the air raid signal. Each class should then leave its room and go to the air raid refuge. Pupils should not be permitted to leave the building or go to their homes. "The pupils should file from the classroom in the same way, In the same order, and under the same leaders to the air raid shelter, as for the Ifre alarm drill. "The air raid refuge should be a large inside hall, preferably in the basement. "Teachers and older pupils should know how to use the fire extinguishers in case incendiaries hit the building, fl the fire gets beyond control the regular fire alarm should be sounded and the pupils should be conducted to the shelter in nearby homes. "To summarize the last steps, instructions should be started at ence and drills should be practiced until the pupils are thoroughly ac customed to it." These instructions are given from the same source for the par ents of school ! children: "11 an air raid should come while your children are at school, stay at home and go to your own air raid refuge. "Do not try to reach the school. Stay off the street "Do not try to telephone. The wires must be kept clear for the wardens, the police, and the fire department.." In conclusion it states: "This is hard advice. It's not easy to take, bat it is for your best interest and for the welfare of your children.'
