County Seat Preparing
For The Exlgencies OF War
Fully conscious and awake to the
vulnerability of Georgetown, the
county seat of Sussex county, and
its valuable records, which, If de-
strOyed, would be an ii'reparable |
loss since the foundation of the
government, every precaution is
being taken here. Volunteers are on
duty. They are working on "a
hour shifts. They have volunteered I
for their country's defense. Not
wanting to. divulge any military Sc
,crets, they are stationed-watch-
mon throughout "a hours-at stra-
tegic points with telephones, un-
derground. at their. command to
fash at the control center the
sighting of any planes coming in
from the Atlantic Coast. They have
the code of American planes, it is.
said, and they will at once detect
any enemy planec at range of
more than fifty miles. which will
give them time to flash signals of
distress. Citizens of all walks of
lives are volunteering their SER
vices here. Public school teachers
arc playing the part in watching 1
and giving instructions in the class
rooms. They are watching at night
and in the wee honrs OF the morn
lug at the control centers. This is
part Of the service that the tea
chers are supposed to play here
because Professor Franklin Butz.
superintendent of the schools, is
one of the leading officials in this
area. Cooperation is being main
tained by the Georgetown Fire Com
paliy, the service clubs and the cit
izens in general All are on the
alert.
Because Of the strategic, position {
Of Lewes and Georgetown, in direct J
line, less than 20 miles away, z
makes it more necessary for !
Georgetown citizens to be on the 9
alert. for they may be subject to q
an attack from the Delaware Coast I
and be seriously damaged. This |
vigilance will be maintained, it is
said, as long as we are at war with o
he Axis nations Precautions also s
ire to be taken, If the conflict be- a
comes too serious to preserve the T
court house records. Firemen, it ]
s admitted, will have to devise ]
;ode of signals so the citizens here b
Will realize the difference between a
/ fire alarm and a raiding alarm. !.
