It is the purDose of this series of articles, prepared under the direction of Bryan H. Conley, county defense coordinator and the ARP setup, to give the public information on what the ARP is doing and. more important, to tell the public how it can help in an air raid. THE BLOCK WARDEN The very first thing every man, woman and child should realize is that the block warden is the point of contact and the one re sponsible for that area in time of raid. The block warden is the key to successful civilian defense. He has been carefully picked and he should know every individual in his block. More, he should know his people in their homes, their habits; in short, he should know his whole block as intimately as he knows his own home. On the block warden rests the responsibility to protect and safe guard the homes in his sector from the hazards of war. Calm, intelligent a 1 e r t the block warden becomes in time of raid the individual who must avert panic. So it is important that every individual know his block warden; for remember, he is the key man in this home de fense, the man you must trust and follow if the yellow peril tries to light here.
