MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18. 1941. PAGE FTVB DEFENSE OFFICE What Teachers and Pupils Should Do in Case of Air Attack Told by Officials. Washington. Dec. 18. (IP) The office of civilian defense requested today that wire serv ices and newspapers carry a set of Instructions on "what school teachers 'and pupils should do during an air raid." Termed "emergency instruc tions for schools until further notice" the OCD's list follows: 1. What to do when the air raid warning sounds. "Howling" siren, short blasts or other local general warning). Sound the school fire alarm in a general way (short rings, etc.) Have each class leave its room In order as in fire drill. Conduct classes to the air raid refuge. Do not permit any pupils to leave the building. Do not allow any pupils to return to classrooms until the "all-clear" signal is given. Do not send the pupils home. These protective measures will require organization, plan ning, training and drill. They should be started at once. 2. Air raid drill. Use your fire drill organiza tion to get pupils to the air raid refuge. Have them file from the class room the same way, in the same order, under the same leaders. But take them to the air raid refuge. 3. The air raid refuge. The chance of a direct hit on any individual building is very small. You must guard against the bltst of nearby high-explosive bombs, and incendiaries and falling fragments of antiair craft shells. You must get away from win dows, and from open doors. The large Inside halls of most schools are suitable for an air raid refuge. Do not use the halls on the top floor of the building. The cellar is a suitable air raid refuge provided there are plenty of exits and provided any win dows to the outside can be pro tected by a layer of sandbags. Select the most protected places in the building be sure they provide enough capacity to hold everyone without crowd ing. Be sure there is more than one exit. It is important, too, that the air raid refuge should have easy access to drinking water and toilet faculties. 4. What to do about Incendi aries. Be sure the fire extinguishers re In proper working order. Be sure you have enough people teachers or older pupils who know how to use them. Appoint these people as fire guards. Have them take assigned posts when the air raid drill sounds. Appoint a chief fire guard. If incendiaries hit the build ing, the fire guards should try to handle them, and put them out with water spray. If the fire gets beyond control, the chief fire guard should sound the reg ular fire alarm.

Class leaders should con duct them in an orderly fashion to shelter in nearby homes. Leaders must keep the pupils in control. 5. What to organize. Do these things right away they are essential now: (a) Select the air raid refuge more than one if necessary. Be sure there is more than one exit. (b) Determine how the school alarm will be sounded for an air raid. (c) Assign a refuge space or refuge room for each class or classroom. Assign class leaders to conduct the drill the same as for fire. (d) Have instructions read over and over again to pupils. Have them posted on bulletin boards. Be sure every teacher and pupil understands them now. These things should be done at once. We are suddenly, unex pectedly, at war. When you have completed all of these things, it is time to organize your long range planning. 6. Here are some of the steps to take. The department of education or other school authority, under the direction of the local de fense coordinator, should plan and adopt a war program for the duration. Here are some of the steps to consider: (a) Appointment of school building warden, whose duties should be coordinated with their local zone or district warden service. (b) Special transmission of air raid warnings from the control center to school buildings. (c) Fire defense adequacy of present equipment, appointment of fire watchers (or fire guards), and special training in combat ting incendiaries. (d) Protective construction quick and simple measures to provide additional security. (e) Study of alternate air raid refuges for teachers and pupils in case of fire. Depending upon location, suitable buildings in the neighborhood may be avail able for use as air raid refuge. It is desirable to explore this possibility in order to effect dispersion where it can be done without undue exposure to the children. 7. What to do about training. Start your training now. Don't wait for the final plan. Drill your pupils to behave on an air on your budget mm IHDSO MOtl THAN 62 MILUOH OTTll SOLD UNCI IIMAl '' wet 13 trm) urn. raid alarm just as they do on a fire alarm. Hold drill every few days until they are thoroughly accustomed to it. Keep up the morale of the pupils, so that If a raid occurs you will have experience In keeping them occupied. Organ ize first aid training for selected groups. Organize fire defense training for the fire guards. 8. Are we in danger? The answer to that is we don't intend to be caught nap ping again anywhere or any time. We are not going to say again "It can't happen here." Don't rush around, don't worry, but act. These are sim ple precautions. Read them again. Think how you will appy them to your school. Then take the necessary action today. . PARENTSI Read Thlsl If an air raid should come while your - children are at school, see to your own safety. Stay home, go to your refuge room, stay away from windows. Do not try to reach the school. You could accomplish no good. You could do a great deal of harm by such action. In an air raid, rule number 1 is to stay off the street, set under cover. On the street, there is the risk of falling shell frag ments, racing cars, and fire ap paratus. Stay indoors. Do not try to telephone. The wires must be kept clear for the wardens, the police, and the fire department. You might pre vent an urgent message from getting through. This is hard advice. It's not easy to take. But it is for your best Interest and for the welfare of your children. NAZI FLAG RIPPER IN EFFORT REJOIN NAVY Boston, Dec. 18 (JP) Harold L. J.
