This Warden training may be
obtained from courses in ARP
given for men in each police di-
vision scattered throughout the
City of Boston. The women
however have gone into it
more intensively in their school
courses.
The latter's course consists
of the following six main sub
jectS: The effect of all of the
IA known classes of gases used
in chemical warfare; teach
ing, in order that the gradu-
ates may start and conduct
ARP schools in communities:
first aid, the mos t practical
subject, where they learn to
give immediate and temporary
aid in case of accident or ill
ness until the doctor arrives:
study of Wardens and their du-
ties sketchily outlined above
including the preparation of
shelter rooms in your home,
use of fire proof paint, sand
handy to put out incendiary
bomb, stirring pump similar
to a tire pump and cleaning
out Of all rubbish and infam-
mable materials especially in
the attic; stretcher or ambu-
lance drill where they learn to
lift safely and transport a VIC
tim and to load ambulances;
military drill.
In fact, the Wardens CD
courses are SO comprehensive
that they have really earned
the commission of first lieu
tenants which they receive on
graduation.
When you get a chance to
join such courses in your own
community. be sure to take it.
You will find the training and
knowledge of unestimable val
ue. Whether or not the ravages
of war spread to our fair land,
just as our boys are learning to
be prepared in military defense
you will be prepared also for
the important front line civil

The defense of our country
can be roughly divided into
three parts. ID The armed for
ces on land, on sea and in air
by our Army, Navy and Air
craft; 10 Production in var
ious forms without which there
could be no armed defense:
and t3) Civilian defense which
has assumed enormous proper
tions without which there
could be no production.
Time was when the. civilians
were barely troubled by wars.
Whoever then won made no
difference. The latter wars
have found the civilians more
affected. In this day, civilians
are an absolute necessity in
carrying on a modern war.
This is why the ARP or Air
Raid Precaution, typiied in the
Wardens has become highly
important. They are the front
line Or the spoke of the wheel
around which revolve all other
branches of civilian defense.
In England, the first trainees
in ARP were the butt of jokes
and much merriment. Here in
America a somewhat similar
situation prevails regarding the
Wardens. Too many people not
in keeping with the times think
it is almost impossible that our
cities could be bombed. This is
parallel to what they said in
England. The analogy is so
striking that it might not De
amiss to review that country's
experiences along this line.
When London was firs t
bombed. everybody scuttled in
side or to air raid shelters un-
til the bombing was over. Fire
damage which might have
been localized spread over a
large area. At one time the con-
fiagration was so severe that
London itself was almost en-
tirely destroyed. Then came a

the streets, on the roof tops
and other vantage points to see

where the damage was occur
ing and more important. to
check it Immediately before it
spreads. In this way, the dam
ger was minimized. Now, the
chances of London being des-
troyed by an air raid is exact
ly reversed. The great cause of
this change is the excellent
system or communications by
means Of the Wardens.
An ARP Warden's job is very
precise, yet very comprehen-
sive. Communications is his
main job and any police or
fire force would have to be ex-
panded many times to do the
Wardens' job. The Warden is

ARMY PURGES

A few years ago it was popu-
lar to comment on the army
"purges8 going on in European
countries. especially in Ger
many and Russia. The Russian
army had not won a high rat
ing by its services in the World
War; and since then its ques-
tionable efficiency. as was com
monty believed had been even
further reduced BY the appar-
ent arbitrary removal Of many
Of its officers. Germany drew
more favorable criticism because
of the presumption that German
overIords knew well what was
best for the army. Ii the pres
ent war results show that 55ti1
countries gained a high degree
of military efficiency. Russia has
astonished the world by her bril-
liant defense. Germany is cred
tied with possessing the night
est war machine in all history.
The competency or incompe-
tency Of American army officers
receives scant attention during
peace time. The easy-goer and
the earnest student Of military
science alike await their turn
Of promotion as their elders die
or reach the age of retirement.
With the outbreak or the threat
Of war there comes the inevitable
slluffling of officer personnel.
The wedding out process to en-
sure capable army leadership Is
now quietly under way. The
moss-backs and the indolent
must make way for the more
