The Japanese aerial thrurt at
Dutch Harbor and the Hidden
attack upon Midway Island have
put the Pacific Coast more than
ever before upon the alert. Real
ization that "It can happen
here" has reached the general
public. furthered by solemn war
nings from high military
source.
Oregon, on the front line of
this Increasingly violent war,
has been bully engaged in a
program of civilian defense
since the danger first became
apparent, months before Pearl
Harbor. The military defense of
. the state has been well taken
care of by the newly organized
state guard, under the direction
of Brigadier General Ralph
Cowgill. This guard, working
in close conjunction with the
military branches of the govern
ment, is designed to me-.t the
problem of actual invasion.
Far-reaching Plans
Military experts, however
consider the danger of air attack
even more of a threat to the
lives and property of Oregon
citizens. Because of this fact
added stress has been placed
upon a far-reaching and compre
hensive plan of civilian defense
actual care of casualties ana
protection of property in the
event of an attack by enemy
bombers.
Jackson County's civilian de
fense program, now perfected
to high degree has won the
approval and praise of military
officials, state defense officers
and the governor. Every phase
of defense has been provided for,
and an organization has been
built up here to intelligently
execute every needed service in
the event of surprise raid.
T.is program Includes protec
tion for the forests In the event
that enemy bombers spread in
cendiary bombs over the tinder
dry forests of this state. Fire
control in communities here is
also provided.
Since the danger to life and
property is greater In more con
gested cities and towns, empha
sis has been placed upon first
aid, rescue work, policing, food
and bousing, and the protection
and continued emergency oper
ation of utilities and of indus
tries. The evacuation of civil
ians, an eventuality not anti
cipated but needing essential at
tention, is another phase of the
civilian defense program in this
county.
Civilians Instruced
A thorough program of civil
ian education has been under
taken by the state and county
civilian defense council so that
the general public may act effl
cently and calmly In the case
of unexpected enemy action. Air
raid Instruction booklets have
been placed in the hinds of
every home owner and further
instructions have been given
through all media of public In
formation. Red Cross schools have
spread the gospel of Intelligent
first aid, widespread instruction
for wardens has prepared block
wardens for their highly impor
tant duties in case of emergency.
Officials of the Jackson
County civilian defense council
have stressed over and over
again, the vital role of these
wardens In the entire scheme
of defense. The warden is the
connecting link between all pro
tective services, Including fire,
police, public utilities, medical,
etc. Without trained, and elert
wardens on the Job the entire
structure of civilian defense, so
carefully planned and patnstak-

3. The CASUALTY STATION. If close to the Incident, serves
as FIRST AID POST otherwise, MEDICAL TEAMS headed by

Included In public Instruction
Is the solemn warning that all
homes must be equipped with
sand, hose and pump and that
home owners must know how to
correctly and effectively extin
guish incendiary bombs. They
are further urged to stay t
home and indoors In case of a
raid. Keep calm and not use
their telephones. Most Important
of all, they should know their
block warden, should lend full
cooperation to him and respect
the motives of public service
which prompt him to accept the
difficult. Important and often-
thankless duties of warden.
Medical Service
Particular emphasis is now
placed upon the medical services
which are so vital in case of
emergency. Jackson County has
four base hospitals which will
accept more serious cases only
after they have been cleared
through the county's 18 casualty
stations. These base hospitals
are: Sacred Heart hospital, Com
munity hospital and the Osteo
pathic Clinic In Mcdford, and
the Community hospital of Ashland.
The 18 casualty stations, list
ed on this page, are the Initial
receiving points for all casual
ties, regardless of their serious
nature. These stations are man
ned by trained staffs of phy
sicians, nurses and emergency
experienced dentists, all volun
tarily offering their services in
advancing the civilian defense
program. The stations are lo
cated at strategic points In Jack
son County so that all areas may
be served, and are fully equip
ped with surgical instruments
and necessary drugs.
Again, officials of the local
defense council stress the fact
that block wardens are the Ini
tial contact for these casualty
stations and the base hospitals.
The accompanying chart will
give the entire procedure and
every Jackson County home
owner is urged to save it for
future reference.
A call for public spirited men
to serve as wardens has been
sent forth by the Jackson
County clvl'.ian defense council
as several trained citizens should
be ready for instant service In
every block and In every subur
ban area. The construction of a
great army cantonment near
Medford and the further devel
opment of Medford's strategical
ly located air port render this
section of the state definite
military objective. Because of
this fact, added cooperation is
sought from the public In the
interest of protecting their own
lives and property and from the
standpoint of general public
welfare.
