CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

The LesSon-Sermon on Sunday in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist
denounces ancient and modern nee
romancy. alias meomerism and
hypnotism. The Golden Text is
from Proverbs: There is no wis
dom nor understanding nor counsel
against the Lord
Included in the Lesson Sermon
are these words of Jesus from
Luke: Take heed that we be not
deceived for many shall come in
my name, saying, am Christ; and
the time draWeth near; go we not
there fore after them. But when We
shall hear of wars and connections.
be not terrified: Nation shall rise
against nation, and kingdom against
Kingdom: Mems hearts failing
them for fear, and for looking after
those things which are coming on
tie earth: for the powers of heaven
Shall be shaken. And when
these things begin to come to pass
then look up, and life up your
heads; for your redemption draw
eth nigh. So likewise ye, when
ye see these things come to pass
know ye that the kingdom of God
IS nigh at hand
Among the selections from Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
SCRIPTURES by Mary Baker Eddy
are the statements: Mankind
must learn that evil is not power.
Its so-called despotism is but a
phase of nothingness." The de-
struction of the claims of mortal
mind through Science, by which
man can escape from sin and NOR
tality, blesses the whole human
family"

with every section of the city by
radio, telephone and teletype ma
chimes to receive reports of dis
orders, strikes and unusual condi-
tions. A board of disaster control
co-ordinates the city agencies in
meeting emergencies.
In the files of police headquarters
are plans already mapped for mobi-
lizing the police and trained auxili-
ary forces.
"All we have to do" said a high
city official, is to determine the
emergency that exists and take from
drawer the plan covering that par
ticular situation. Then we're ready
to move w,th speed"
The police know the size, type and
general location of all the 1000 900
registered motor vehicles in the city
and could commander them for
service if the need demanded.
They are prepared-but even New
York's $4,000 uniformed police and
small army of specialists and plain
clothes men would be inadequate,
officials admit, to cope with a war
emergency.
For this reason they are consid-
ering training additional reserves
along the lines of the old World War
auxiliary forces used to guard
bridges, aqueducts, piers, power
houses and other important points
subject to sabotage.

Evening star., 1941-06-12
BY DON WHITEHEAD AND
FRANK /. WELLER,

NEW YORK, June 12.-Law en-
forcement agencies of the United
States are charged with grave re-
sponsibilities in the plans of the
Office of Civilian Defense for safe
guarding the lives and property of
the American people in event Of
war.
The policemen and the fi1emen will
form the nucleus of the o. G. d.
vast program and be the co-ordinat-
ing agents for training volunteer
civilian aid to meet any wartime
emergency.
For every American city to be pre-
pared there must be voluntary CO.
operation from officials and citizens
alike. The very nature of the pro-
gram demands willing service.
Into the hands of the police will
fall the task of protecting the peo-
pie, their homes and their morale
against saboteurs and fifth colum-
nists; protecting vital utilities and
industries, and safeguarding trans
portation In the cities.
It's big job ahead for the police
man on the corner.
Must Be Stabilizing Factor
In addition to protecting the peo-
pie, transportation. communications
and industry. he must be prepared
to handle air raid incidents, direct
blackouts of great industrial areas,
and organize auxiliary forces.
His role will be not only that of a
guardian, but also a stabilizing fac
tor in an emotional crisis, quieting
fear and hysteria by calm efficiency.
Patriotic and civilian organiza-
tions such as the American Legion
and the Veterans of Foreign Wars
will be called upon in many cities
to aid police in the defense program,
particularly in guarding vital zones,
such as water fronts, utilities and
bridges.
The military and emi-military
phases of civilian defense will be
directed by the War Department,
but the work of the military and
police will be interviewer. To sim
plify cooperation, the civilian de-
fenSe zones are the same as the
Army's nine corps areas.
New York Has Great Problem.
New York faces. perhaps, the
greatest problems in civilian de-
fense with its great concentration
Of population and industry and the
daily influx of 675,00O visitors and
commuters.
For example, defense studies have
disclosed 1t will require approx
Evening star., 1941-06-12

mately 10000 persons for the single
task of switching off New York's
street and traffic lights for black
out in event of an air raid.
There are about $4,000 traffic
signals and some 250,000 street lights
in the city, not including the daz-
zling array of electric signs which
have made the city's street show
place.
The current cannot be switched
off at a single station to blackout
the street and traffic lights The
job must be done manually at many
stations, for to throw the main
switches would interrupt vital
services in hospitals, factories, shops
and other buildings.
Quick Blackout Necessary.
The police must be prepared to
blackout a city within few minutes.
New York experts figure that II
enemy bombers should fly toward
the city, they would have only 10
to 20 minutes warning from ships
at sea or civilian watchers on the
land.
The blackout is a major police
problem. New York's millions of
lights are visible for more than 100
miles and elaborate plans have been
made for throwing the city into
darkness should enemy bombers ap-
proach.
Defense experts know that a
match lighted during a blackout can
be seen for half mile, a kerosene
lamp for IA miles, an ordinary
10o-watt lamp for 1919 miles and
an automobile headlight for 20 miles.
An inadvertent blackout in upper
New York several years ago gave
impetus to the city's planning to
meet emergency conditions and the
studies doEetail with the defense
program now under way.
A central bureau keeps in touch

raid wardens should the danger of
attack become imminent.
They must control the people
and control traffic during air raids,
two lessons which were not learned
by European police before the
bombers threw the people into un-
governable panic.
For example, If a bomb should
fall in an American city, the police
would be expected to keep the
curious, morbid and distrait from
converging on the scene, and to
re-route traffic so that defense
units could do their job of saving
lives, controlling fires and remov-
ing debris without interference.
Each large building will house

aid is imperative in guarding effec-
lively the industrial centers. This
involves, also, the safeguarding of
civilian morale by wedding out fifth
columnists and enemy agents Great
ing industrial strife and instilling
fear in the minds of the people.
The technique used by the Ger
mans in their invasions has been
studied by the police, the infiltra-
ton Of enemy agents and their
methods of creating fear and con-
fusion by rumor, sabotage and false
alarms.
To combat this potential threat,
police encourage cooperation of
industrial management in check
ing the background of personnel,
locating aliens, policing property,
supervising watchmen, barring un-
authorized visitors from plants and
factories. reporting suspicious per-
sons and eliminating fire hazards.
Must Train Raid Wardens.
Not only must the police meet
these multiple problems, but they
must be trained for duty during
air raids, and train men as air

under plans that are being con-
sidered by New York police.
Buildings will be classified as TO
size, structure, location, nature of
business and the occupants as to
sex and age. The personnel manager
in the building will anot duties
for the tenants in event of an
air raid, and instruct them In what
must be done to give air raid
warnings.
