Apartment Buildings Working Out Individual Organizations (No. 19 of a Series.) For apartment dwellers, a building air-raid warden is the “head of the household.” By this time, each apartment should have a building warden, selected by the zone war-| den or elected by the tenants. If none has as yet been appointed in your apartment, get together with the other tenants to elect one. Each apartment has different problems which must be worked out by the building warden and the ten- ants. In some apartment buildings, the tenants have organized into associations. In one building, each tenant has submittted a list of sug- | gestions to be combed through for the most workable ideas. Here’s an Illustration. As an illustration, here is how the ‘Westchester Apartment has worked out its air-raid precautions: The apartment consists of five building units. The senior building warden has selected a building war- den for each unit. Each building warden, in turn, has selected a war- den for each floor, with an alter- nate. A duplicate setup has been worked out with woman wardens to officiate in case of daylight raids. Each building has a crew of three fire watchers, whose duty it would also be to handle roof fires. These crews are equipped with stirrup pumps. One man will handle the nozzle, a second the third will keep up the water fetehing sddifional buclksts. and & o The apartment warden attended | the warden’s school and instructed | his assistants at a class the night following each session at the school.

If the dummies had been willing, I would have called a truce at this point. I was out of breath and, in addition to losing two out of four bouts, I had nearly cut one ear off myself. But the dummies, figuring they had a good chance of victory, refused to lay down their arms. There was no alternative for an honorable soldier. So I charged on, wheezing ferociously.
