Mr. Van Over explained the general overall program as he has been instructed by the Civil Defense director, He stated that, though this county is seemingly a remote area, no place would be iirv munc from feeling the effects of a nuclear attack. The speaker described the functions of the Military and Civil Defense in relation to lodging, food, clothing, reg istration and social services. He said that all able adults would be pressed into service, particularly the teachers who would be needed for super vision of children. "It is im portant that people not think of themselves, but how to serve others," he stated. A procurement manager would issue all supplies. Congregate care facilities and billeting facilities would be designated, for there is a possibility that some 90,000 people would be moved into Siskiyou county in the event of an attack else where. Cautioned Mr. Van Over cautioned that each family should keep extra food supplies on hand at all times and store liquids in great quantities as a pre cautionary means.

Working parents should make provisions for an alter nate home for their children to go to in this event. Each small group of younger chil dren would be guided by at least two from the upper grades. Montague has been divided into seven sections for the purpose of quick ac tion of evacuation. Letters will be sent soon to all parents so they will know just what will take place in an alert.

Main al Grape Ph. 772-2330 San Francisco-ffiPD-A light ing engineer says the metallic click of a woman's high heels are better off silenced for her safety. Gilbert Trosper, chief street lighting engineer for Pacific Gas and Electric company, says women would be better off with leather tips on their shoe hc?ls. "Those heels click so loud ly that they're a giveaway to any hidden marauder that a woman is coming down the street," he told the San Fran cisco Women's Legislative Council of the California Federation of Women's clubs. The club has started a "Nighttime Safety for Wom en" campaign. Besides his suggestion on leather heels, Trosper had these tips for women walk ing after darkness: Travel in pairs whenever possible. Never stop or slow down near darkened doorways. bee that the doorway is lighted when you get home, and report any faulty street lights to municipal authori ties or the power company. Note spots that are dark and provide good hiding places. Avoid them. Walk in lighted areas. Avoid walking near parked cars, dark doorways, parks or hedges. When crossing streets at night, carry a newspaper. It reflects oncoming headlights and warns the driver there is a pedestrian crossing. If anybody threatens or attacks, scream. Noise is good protection. "Women drivers," Trosper said, "should keep car doors locked and windows partly closed at night. If trouble comes, blow the horn," Tros per said.
