l
Gas Mask Campaign
Explanation Given
Adequate protection against gas
attacks does not require the equip
ping of the entire civilian popula
tion with gas msks, nor is there any
immediate contemplation of such a
program, according to a statement
made by Stanly W. Donogh, direc
tor of the Northwest Sector of the
Office of Civilian Defense, today.
- "There seems to be considerable
confusion on the part of the public
concerning gas attacks and the need
for gas masks," said Donogh. "It is
true that we have received a large
number of masks and we are hoping
to receive additional supplies. These
are being allocated to the most ef
fective places for training and pro
tective purposes," he said.
Donogh states that contrary to
popular belief gas does not spread
over wide areas but is concentrated
in limited districts and hangs close
to the ground. It is comparatively
easy for the public in affected areas
to avoid danger by leaving the area
or by going to the upper story of
their home or a downtown building.
Other than for training purposes
gas masks are primarily for those
who are engaged in defense work
who, because of their duties, are re
quired to remain in the affected
area to assist the injured and others
to get out of the area.
"There is no necessity," said Do
nogh, "for those who have been is
sued gas masks to carry them at any
time other than when they are on
actual duty."
Instructions for protection against
gas were outlined by Mr. Donogh
as follows:
1. SELF AID IS THE BEST AID
for the prevention of injuries due
to war gases. War gases are usually
not dangerous if you take steps im
mediately to remove them from the
eyes and skin. Effective means to
accomplish this should be in the
kitchen and bathroom of every home.
Always keep on stock a supply of
laundry soap and baking soda.
2. IF YOU ARE INSIDE A BUIL
DING, remain there and go upstairs
for war gases cling to the ground.
Do not leave your home unless it is
absolutely necessary. If you are
outside and not able to get indoors
immediately, walk don't run to get
out of the gas area. Avoid puddles
of liquid agent and basements, val
leys and other low places.
3. IF YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOS
ED TO A WAR GAS
(a) Breathe through cloths wet
with baking soda solution.
(b) If you are outside of a build
ing first remove your outer clothing
and leave it outside before entering.
(c) Wash your hands and then
your face with laundry soap and wa
ter. (d) Wash your eyes at once with
HIS PANTS
In--, - ' , y . -'V
Heppner Gazette Times, June 25, 1942-
a large amount of a solution of bak
ing soda: one teaspoonful of baking
soda in a glass of water.
(e) Take a bath using plenty of
laundry soap.
(f) Wash your eyes again with
baking soda solution. Repeat.
4. IF SPLASHES OF LIQUID
GAS HAVE GOTTEN ON YOU
(a) Blot up as much liquid as you
can and be careful not to spread it.
(b) Daub the contaminated area
with cloths wet with Chlorox, Purex,
Sani-Chlor, or some other similar
chlorine solution.
(c) Repeat steps, b, c, and d in
3 above.
5. REMAIN CALM. Lie down and
cover yourself with a blanket. Med
ical aid is on the way. There is no
immediate serious danger from ex
posure to any known war gas.
