WHAT CIVIL DEFENSE MEANS TO ME Today there are many problems on the face of the earth that have to be solved that didn’t exist be fore. One of these major problems of the modern world is civil de fense. Civil defense is one of the most important factors in our daily life in America. There are many parts to this program some of which I shall mention: public wel fare, shelter protection, warden service, mutual aid and mobile support, fire fighting services, transportation, health services and special weapons defense, rescue service, police services, civil de fense for industry, supply service A civil i defense program is a necessity today because of new weapons in the air-atomic age, a sneak enemy atack, and because our lives, industries, natural re sources, and security must be protected. Civil defense is important in each individual state. The state civil defense program consists of mainly: the Governor, The Advis ory Council, The Civil Defense Director, The Deputy Director, public affairs, and Legal Council. There are also many officials of civil defense in local surroundings such as; the Mayor or Chief Executive, The Advisory Council, The Civil Defense Director, - The Deputy Director, public affairs, and Legal Councils. The local civil defense adminis trator has important duties. Some of these are: 1- To establish and direct op eration of local civil defense or ganisation. \ 2- To coordinate and direct lo cal civil defense activities of pub lic and private agencies or groups. 3- Formulate and negotiate mu tual aid plans and agreements. 4- Direct the program in ac cordance with State and Federal plans. 5- Establish primary and one or more secondary control centers to serve as command posts during an emergency. The duties of the local control center are: to receive and dis seminate air-raid warnings, alert the various services, to marshal and disperse civil defense services, to warn the public to take shelter, to order the civil defense into action, to assess the nature and scope of damage. The training for civil defense is a national project. It builds a firm training program, makes training policies and plans, pro- vides good guidance, and operates a staff college for key civil de fense authorities at state and regional levels. One of the main jobs of civil defense is to protect our country from possible atomic attack. Civil defense is the action of saving lives and property. It protects the people and industry of the United States. It keeps the people going and industry working in spite of atomic, biological, or chemical warfare. One of the chief aims of civil defense is to keep the people working if at all pos sible because work strengthens a, nation by keeping up factories and other war equipment factor ies. People working together is the background of a strong de fense. Whether people can realize it or not America can be attacked at any time although it has had an overwhelming success sa far. Planes can« reach every city in the United States. Russia, which is about the main agressor today, has a very dangerous bomber which is much like our own B-29’s Russia has the atomic bomb, she knows how to use biological war fare, and she has the very dan gerous gases. Atomic bombs, di sease, and gas could be brought to America any moment today. What is worse is there are Rus sian agents in our country that could wage germ warfare right in our own back yards. Now, there is a question of how well we could defend ourselves in case of an emergency. There is no way that we can prevent bombers from entering our coun try. It is estimated that seven out of ten planes would get through. This doesn’t mean that we don’t have a good anti-craft program be cause we do. But the entire strength of Germany’s anti-craft battery was not sufficient to stop our planes. We lost fewer than ten out of each hundred. We can be sure to always do our best and this is why we must have civil defense. One of the great worries in the minds of our citizens today is: “What if a bomb should be drop ped here?” First,, thousands would be killed and many more trapped and buried* in the wreckage. Fires would destroy the necessities such as food, water supply, communi cation, transportation, and cloth ing. This would leave thousands homeless. We remember some things and some things we don’t. It looks as if we forget that civil defense holds the citizens responsible. The state and federal laws are no good without the help of the citi zens backing them up. If a bomb were to fall it would fall on the people in your family and many others too. It you were informed on civil defense and had studied it you would know what to do. You would know how to take good care of the wounded. Our armed forces is one of the most thought of defenses. .Our forces’ aim is to win wars by car rying attack to the enemy. Civil defense isn’t their responsibility, but the people’s as a whole. Civil defense helps the people in a most important way. It warns and gets people ready for attack in case of one. It arranges for shelter, operates warning signals, gets necessary medical supplies, and sends help to the stricken area. Communications is almost like the nerves of the body in defense. It provides contact with other parts of the world in which we could get help. Control centers keep in touch with one another day in and day out so as to know if everything’s all right in the country or not. Some main sources of communication are: radio, television, telephone and telegraph. Deed Transfers Newberry No. 1 Pearl H. Livingston to Ruby L.
