The Air Raid Warden

This article is Number 10 in a series of ten prepared by the State Defense Counch on the duties and activities of Air Raid Wardens.
 This slogan suggested by the chief air raid warden for Hartford, Mir. Charles A. Welch. sums up the reasons for these 10 articles on the Air Raid Warden. Tn fact 1t sums up all the reasons for Connecticut's whole afraid precautions program. We hope the program won't be called into action,--just as we hope our accident and fire insurance pol icies won't ever be needed. But with the world as 1t is, and with the ad- vantage of Connecticut hardhead- edness and foresight, we know 1t is worthwhile being ready.--and a thousand times better than just waiting to be sorry.
 We can't forget the English tes- tiinony: that the communities which prepared adequate civilian defense suffered about one-tenth of the per- sonal casualties and one-tenth .oi the materail damage compared with communities which didn't. Neither can we forget the contrary testi- mony of the grief and panic and devastation which came to unpre- pared Holland and Belgium and France. Therefore Connecticut is out to set up the best civilian de- fense, the best air raid warden and precautions system, it knows how "just in case" We can't get away from the fact that modern war is total war and that civilians are open to just as much punishment as the armed forces. And we can't get away from Connecticut's geograph- ical position. And we don't want to get away from the efficiency and importance of our munitions indus tries. Therefore we are hard at work.-"just in case"
 Training Schools
 We have made a good beginning Our two Air Raid Warden Schools in New Haven and Hartford in July registered over HOO men and wo- men, more than half of whom have already achieved their cer- tificates by sending it the special essay required to filfill the course. Half & dozen more schools of var ious sizes, have since been coni- pleted, in widely separated parts of the state. Others are now in ac- tion.- some large, some not So large; the carefully organized New Britain school enrolled 1900 pros- pective wardens before its opening session. Many other schools are bee ing planned. The State Council has issued a Basic Study Course for air raid wardens, and in coopera- ton with the Hartford Chief Ali Raid Warden has set up the first school for warden instructors. And 6 special school for industrial war; dens opens october 90 and many plants are already organizing their emergency protection system.
 Chief air raid wardens have been appointed in all of Connecticut's I69 cities and towns.-- and cooper ated with the IS controllers and dis- trict warning centers of the state in the first air raid warning tests conducted by the United states army along the Atlantic neahoard

Youth Needs No Political Lobby, Says Author MOrley'S Daughter
SHE'S HELPING IVA PLAN FOR YOUNGSTERS IN DEFENSE

was too interesting, and ! had found out what great good luck ! had. ! had a room Co myself Co study ct home, an intellectual heri- tage, all the books I could read, tho chance to meet interesting people. And my schoolmates, many of them, had no decent clothes, no money for lunches or carfare. You owe sonle- thing to the world when you happen to have such good fortune as mine. ." MA OFFICIALS LISTEN
 TO HER OPINIONS
 Miss Morley is one of four young people asked Co sit in with MA ofKl- cials to give their opinions on what can be done by youth and for youth in the defense effort and the post wsr period.
 She says: "The young people I know are not discouraged by the world situation. They have . lot more common sense than older peo- pie think they have. They want Go participate In their national life end their community life and they will if they are given 6 chance"
 Tn her New York ofilce Miss Mor- ley has 6 map dotted with thumb taclrs wherever defense projects have been located. It is part of her job to interest campus citizens in nearby colleges In the opportunities offered them for study and connmu- nity service by lacksof recreation and decent housing in these defense centers,
 SHE SAYS
 "I CAN'T WRITE"
 we don't need an organized youth pressure group in this coun- try" she thinks. we only need to make young people who have the ad- vantages of college education realize they are the natural leaders of the coming generation, and that their citizenship begins in their own neighborhoods."
 Occasionally Miss Morley con- tributes a piece to the International Student Service magazines. But, 1" she says, "the editor almost always rewrites my stuff. I can't write worth a cent. But can talk"
 Confident and well informed as Miss Morley is, she thinks Q sense of humor is the most important thing in the world. And she doesn't think she knows all the answers.

October 9th to i6th. At that time a number of towns carried the SUD- posed warning down to the local warden posts and sent back reports of imaginary damage, and called out their police and fire and med- ical and utility services to meet a simulated emergency. In all towns the air raid precautions system is in various stages of organization and development. We have made good beginning.
 A Long Way To Go
 But we still have a long way to go. The rough rule of thumb calls for one warden for every hundred people, including deputy wardens and special wradens for factories schools, hospitals and other in. stitutions, and at least four or five wardens for each local post. That means something like is,000 war. dens, men and women both, for the whole of Connecticut. Perhaps tC date we have somewhere over B. 900.
 That leaves c great deal still tc do. The whole organization has tc be trained, locally and all togeth.. CT. Warden posts have to be sci up and equipped. Report centers have to be organized and staffed Practice exercises have to be held many of them, small at first, and then larger and larger,-untl the w,l1.nia ev~tAsn ran function smooth ly, all the way through.
 Yes, we still have a long way tc go in air raid precautions for CIV iIian defense. But sn the good Con- necticut tradition we shall keep on going, ali of us together, until tht fob is done. Tn the Connecticut tradition, we shall do the job as right as we can mad as fast as we know how.-"just in easel"

 Washington, Nov. B-smiling, hlue- eyed Louise Morley, 22.SNa. .Sld daughter of Chrlstonher Morley, 's very serious minded young lady but she doesn't take herself too seriously. For one thing, tho man who wrote Where the Blue Begins" and Thunder on the Left" won't let her.
 Tn Washington, as c member of the National Advisory Committee of the National Youth Administration, she tells of the ribbing her father gave her when someone phoned about preliminary arrangements for the conference, and he picked up the phone and announced washington calling" lie declared that then and there he disclaimed any further civic responsibilities and would expect her to assume them henceforth for the whole family.
 At Brwyn Mawr, Miss Morley maJored in politics, was especially keen about her courses In Inter- national Law and Public Adninis- tration. She didn't know then just how she would use her textbook knowledge of public affairs, but she felt that young people like herself could help make the world better placeto live in if they knew the rules by which their elders play the game.
 She spent her junior year, the year before the war, In Switzerland at the Gradaute Schol of Interna. tional Studies.
 SOCIAL SERVICE WORK
 DURING BRYN MAWR DAYS
 At Bryn Mawr she belonged to community service committees of college girls who worked in settle- ment houses, summer camps for slum children and the Hudson Shore Labor school for women factory workers.
 Since college, Miss Morley has been conference secretary of the In~ ternaitonal Student Service. Chief function of the organization is edu- eating students for democracy, but interesting them first in their own communities, Since she finds 1t easier to get students to listen on Saturdays and Sundays when they have no classes, Miss Morley has a seven-day week job.
