women, 10 volunteer for civilian
defense work as patriotic duty"
The governor said the states
defense set-up already was func-
tioning well but needed large
numbers of volunteer workers.
A meeting of the state defense
council, scheduled for Thursday
in Olympia. has been cancelled.
Mayor r. A. LaGuardia Of New
York. national civilian defense ad-
ministrator. will meet with po-
lice, fire and air raid officials in
Seattle at p. m.
On Thursday at 2 p. m. all
county commissioners in the state
were TO meet with the governor
in Olympia TO set up a rural de-
tense system.
Must Adjust Selves
We must adjust ourselves
quickly TO conditions that exist
by reason of our nation being at
war and this adjustment calls for
an entirely different attitude than
what we are accustomed to in
times of peace the governor said
in his address.
We are faced with the posi-
bility of invasion by land or air
from an enemy without. We are
faced with the possibility of fifth
columnist activity from within
The governor said more workers
were needed in auxiliary police
units. air raid wardens, auxiliary
firemen, medical services such as
nurses and stretcher squads, main
tenance squads for power, water
and telephone utilities, engineers,
transportation and supply units
and evacuation workers.
Evacuation a Problem
81 wish to emphasize that the
evacuation problem is confined to
limited industrial areas in coastal
cities and in no sense of the word
will there be any general exodus
of people that would block mill
tary highways and confuse and
comphcate every civilian protec-
ton effort" he warned.
The governor called on defense
plant managers to see that their
plants were adequately guarded.
He said veterans of previous wars
were well equipped To aid IN de-
tense work. Women, he said,
could be used by the air raid warn
ing service, medical and motor
corps.
The job of seeing that local de-
Tense units are set up and working
lies with local officials, the gov
ernor said.

unique distinction . of having

Kuenzel today furnished a con-

This means that If another war

teeth are likely to be better.
DR.. King explained that the
difference now and in 1917 is not
due to lower standards of army
acceptance.
II anything. he said, q little
better teeth were required then
than now. In 1917 a soldier had
to have eight good molars, two
upper and two lower on each
side. Today he needs six good
molars and six good incisors, but
they can all be on one side.
