Doctors’ offices and drug| stores are indicated by name,” he explained. | Posts Pictured as Need. He described as an “urgent need” the location of a deputy warden's post in some public building with | | which the public can readily be- | come familiar, and said authorities at the Whittier School had tenta- | tively agreed to permti the use of the school building for such a post. | A series of mass meetings will be held in each of the four zones into which the territory has been divided in an effort to make the public more familiar with their local defense organs, Mr. Seaquist an- nounced. He said every home should contain a list of the air raid wardens of its zone and particularly of its sector. | In a report by Miss Elsie E. Green of the Whittier School on the 24- hour vigil which has been main- tained in District schools during the holidays to receive messages relative to civilian, defense, it was asserted that “a very fine civic spirit” had been shown by the teachers at that school in co-oper- ating with defense authorities. | Speaker Raises Issue. | Joshua Ellis, however, raised the issue whether any useful purpose could be served by “asking teach- ers who have had an exhaustive day to stay all night watching a telephone.” He said he thought their primary responsibility was to the children with whose education they were intrusted. George A. Corbin supported the position taken by Mr. Ellis, and de- clared, “I don't think that Com- missioner Young has any reason or right to critize the school teachers.” Mr. Corbin advocated same alter- native means for the communication of notices to air raid wardens, and was told that such an alternative was in fact already under consider- ation by local authorities. A suggestion by F. Arthur Oehm that milk deliveries at night be dis- continued in order to conserve fuel and labor during the national emer- gency was turned over to the! Civilian Defense Committee.
