DEFENSE FOR AIR RAIDS VITAL
English Indifferent at Start Reports Minister at Lions
 Club Meeting

The earnestness of preparation for bombing raids on American cities was emphasized in an address by Rev. W. spender Darby of Eng land, ct the weekly luncheon ncet- ing of the Waterbury Lions club in the Elton, hotel yesterday.
 Mir, Darby, Q lieutenant fin the British land forces who became in- valided, and was allowed to come to this country slightly more than two months ago, described the eff flciency of home defense corps and air raid wardens in Britain.
 The same comparative lethargy existed In England before the Nazls ioosed their missiles of destruction, the speaker said, anG 1t was not un- til lives had been lost, and property shattered, that the population awoke to the need of eElisting as defenders on the home front.
 Since that time, however, Mfr, Darby said, elaborate precautions have been taken to safeguard against attack from the air, and the English have managed to make adjustments to the uncomfortable exigencles Of war-time. existence, One mission accomplished by the Germans that has proved Q blessing in disguise, Is the destruction of the London sluri sections. The great majority of the children had been evacuated to the countryside, and were safe from the fury of the ex- pioslves when the slum areas were levelled,
 Tn speaker expressed gratitude for the aid so generously given by Americans to the British.
 It was announced at the meeting that the annual chlldren's Christi mas day party, for children who vacationed ct the Lions camp dur- ing the summer, Will Do held at the Salvation Army Citadel on Cherry street, tonight from b:30 to 9 o'clock.
