The Forest Grove NATIONAL BANK Invites You to Bank by Mail if Inconvenient to Come in Person J. A. Thornburg, President “THE ROLL OF HONOR BANK” BLACKOUTS-Light In these trying times there may be a blackout called anytime so be prepared by having at least two rooms prepared so you could have light in them without it being visible from the outside. These rooms should be the kitchen and bathroom. If need be, you could live in these two rooms. We are not a nation of people who can or need to live in the dark. We should try to live a nor mal life as nearly as we can—doing our part in the civilian defense of our country, The Best Country in the world! Oregon Gas & Electric Go. Read and save this leaflet; it mav save your life some day! MEET YOUR AIR RAID WARDEN! Your Air Raid Warden brings you this leaflet so you may know what he or she can do to help you protect yourself in case of air raids. Your Warden is your friend. Welcome him—get to know him. He has some advice for you on which your life may depend! Do these things when the Air Raid Warden calls: 1. Have him meet every member of your family. 2. Tell him where you are to be found when you are away from home—where you work. 3. Tell him about any member of the household who is ill or handicapped. Tell him about all small children. 4. Show him the room you intend to use as a refuge room, ask his suggestions for fitting it up. Follow them—he knows! 5. Ask him what are the official air raid warning signals, the official “all clear,” for your community. 6. Show him your attic or garret, ask his suggestions for protecting it against incendiary bombs. Also garages or outbuildings. 7. Show him where gas and electric shut-off switches are. in all buildings. 8. Ask him to point out good shelter in the neighborhood, should you be caught outdoors in a raid sometime. 9. Answer his questions—trust him; he is a sworn public official, and must know in order to protect you. 10. Carry out his suggestions for storing emergency water, sand, etc., cheerfully and promptly. 11. Ask him how you can help, where you should go to vol unteer your services. Calm, strong, able people are needed for volunteer service. Do your part. ♦ ♦ ♦ Remember what your Air Raid Warden’s name is, what he looks like, where he is to be found. He is your best friend in an emergency. He can protect you and help you to do your share in defeating the Japs, Nazis, or any other enemy! F. H. LA GUARDIA U. S. Director of Civilian Defense Should an air raid come to your community, you can do your part while protecting yourself. Remember these six simple rules: 1. Keep calm and cool. 2. Stay home. 3. Put out lights. 4. Lie down. 5. Stay away from windows. 6. Don’t telephone. Don’t run—walk. Don’t scream—be quiet. Don’t crowd into public places. If the raid starts when you are away from home, lie down under shelter. Keep your mouth open by rolling your handkerchief and putting it between your teeth. Put your hands over your ears. Protect the back of your head. Don’t look up. In the house, go into your refuge room and close the door. Make yourself comfortable. Relax. If bombs fall near you, lie down. A good place is under a table with sturdy legs, or a couch turned upside down. Keep away from yvindows. Don’t look out. Put out all lights you cannot closely screen, so no light reaches the street—the light that’s out or covered tight will never guide a Jap! Revised instructions: Make no attempt to shut off the main gas valve. Simply turn off the stove burners that are lit, not the pilot light. If the house is badly damaged, the main gas valve should be shut off. Once the main valve is turned off, for any reason, do not turn it on again yourself. Call for a trained man. Your local gas company is working out further detailed direc-, tions with your local defense council. Watch for these instruc tions, then follow them. If an incendiary hits your house, go put it out with a spray (never a stream, jet, or splash) of water. It will burn out rapidly under a fine water spray—a splash or stream makes it scatter molten metal. When it is out, go back to shelter. The chance your home will be hit is very small. Keep cool. Stay off the streets. Again we say—keep cool! Appoint one member of the family for your home warden to remember all rules. Mother makes the best! Stay quiet indoors or under shelter till the “all clear” sounds. Don’t believe wild rumors. Don’t crowd. Don’t scream. Don’t telephone. Don’t start disorder or panic. Do what the Air Raid Warden tells you to do. Be strong, be calm, be orderly. Lick the aggressors—everyone can help. Do you.r share!
