Or is it just general apathy toward any defense pro« gram? We incline to the latter conclusion. We believe that if a bridge party had been‘scheduled some oif 'the missiikg 'would have been Johnny-on-the-spot. As a matter M fact it would appear that the desire to co operate in anything that smacks of defensive activity is moribund. In other communities of this andf other states the citizenry is alive to the needs of coordinated efforts in building up a strong home-defense bulwark. i ] We read «lR>ut them daily in the newspaper exchanges JO] 1 that reach ear desk.
