4 Thursday, Nov. 13, 1941, Vernonia Eagle, Vernonia, Oregon Comments thfe Week CIVILIAN DEFENSE WEEK The week from November 11th to Sunday, November 16th has been set aside by presidential proclamation as Civilian De fense Week, every day during that time being set aside for a special phase of that work.

Thursday, November 13th, was the day set aside for ex plaining the existence of the volunteer offices of the civil re serve and for explaining the range of their activities. The health and welfare of the population is the theme for Friday, November 14th. The importance of a healthy and secure people as a foundation for strong military defenses is emphasized. A need for civilian protection will be stressed and also a need for civilian participation in community service activities everywhere is the theme for Saturday, November 15th. A stim ulation of the desire of every one to volunteer for service will also be attempted on that day. The final day, November 16th, is the day to reaffirm our faith in the fundamental freedom upon which this nation is founded. It has been urged that every citizen learn how he may fit himself into some civilian defense activity and thereby be of service to his community. I). S.
