Today, for the first time, cor respondents were permitted to write about this new line of canal defense although many important details naturally still must remain secret. ' The smoke blots the canal from view far more quickly than one would imagine. At the first sign of danger a siren sounds. The men assigned to the smoke generators rush from their alert huts with flam ing torches in hand. They touch off the burners which are iet out in pattern! suited to the ter rain and air current!. Smoke is generated at the instant of light ing and in almost no time the canal seems to disappear. It is eaiy to Imagine the plight of any enemy aviator who might, by some unusual combina tion of event!, luccecd in pene trating the canal'! outer defenses. iiiiPiili! lit HIGH SCHOOL !i!liili'ilhhii!irt lp.W't""'''M''"''iMillllllllfilWT4jltw News Notes and Pedestrian Protection Frequent Accident Cause 35S STEPPING BETWEEN PARKED CARS into the road way means injury or death annually to thousands of per sons afoot Children are taught in school to stay out of the danger xone just beyond parked can with this AAA school safety poster.
