    Civil Defense
Heads Named
Plans for civilian defense have pro­
gressed past the planning stage and
key personnel to lead the various de­
partments were appointed at a meet­
ing held in Mill City this last week,
W. R. Hutcheson is in charge of
Block Wardens.
These men and
women will have control of certain
designated areas in case of an emer­
gency. They will direct residents to
assembly areas from which they can
be evacuated and check lights, fires,
gas, etc. The following number of
olock wardens will be needed: Mill
City 40, Gates 15, Detroit 10, Idanha
10, and rural points 20.
Fire control and rescue work will
be under the direction of Albert To­
man. In Mill City and Gates the
local fire departments will be suffi­
cient but Detroit will need 15 men as
will Idanha.
Evacuation will be led bj' Kenneth
Hunt. This group will evacuate peo­
ple to safer areas. They will control
assembly points and direct and care
for people who are at the assembly
points. For this work at least 30
men will be needed from Mill City,
15 from Gates, 15 from Detroit, and
15 from Idanha. Trucks with drivers
will be needed at all the above places.
These trucks must be suitable for
hauling people. It is very important
that owners of trucks see Mr. Hunt,
Hutcheson, or King and register their
trucks.
Police work will be under the con-
trol of Lee Ross. Men working with
Mr. Ross will control traffic and gen-
eral police duties.
In the police department Mill City
will need 20 men, Gates 4, Detroit 4,
and Idanha 4.
All men who wish to volunteer for
police work should see Lee Ross, J.
T. King, Ken Hunt, or W. R. Hutche­
son.
The above number of men requested
for each department of civilian de­
fense are only the minimum needed
and more can be used in all depart­
ments.
Any women that have had nurses
training or done any nursing work
are requested to contact Mr. King.
Nurses and first aid men will be
needed.
The local American Legion nas
volunteered 100% to assist in the
various civilian defense work, It is
hoped that other gioups will place
their man power at the disposal of
Chief of Civilian Defense J. T. King,
for this area.
