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. T he MILL CITY ENTERPRISE Serving: MILL CITY DETROIT ELKHORN GATES ID \NHA LYONS Ml II \M \ MONGOL!)
