Silver Spring 10 Designate
Raid Shelter for Children

Within a few weeks, a house in
every block in the Silver Spring area
will bear a sign. marked with the
letters D and w. designating it as a
shelter for children away from
homes during air raids and to indi-
cate that the residence is clearing
house for defense questions.
The idea of placing the signs was
evolved by the Silver Spring branch
of the Women's Division of Civilian
Defense, hence the letter D for de-
fense and the letter w, which will
be smaller, for women.
Children in the area will be in
formed through their schools that
homes bearing this sign can be used
as shelter in daytime air raids. The
plan is mainly to protect children
who might be in the streets after
school hours
Women will be able to get in
formation on conservation, one of
the divisions main projects, at these
homes, and other information about
defense activities.
Mrs. Ronald L. Mcdonald and
Mrs. Herbert F. Hathaway have been
appointed by Mrs. C. w. Mitchell,
Silver Spring chairmen, to take
charge of the project, which has the
approval of Chief Deputy Afraid
Warden Arch Mcdonald and Albert
E. Brault, executive director of the
Montgomery County Civilian De-
fense Council.
The signs are being designed and
made by class of high school pupils
under direction of William C. Fedde-
man, supervisor of vocational work
in county schools.

necessary and above all, remove the
payroll and expense from the State

One Unit Is Already
Organized at Rockville,
Judge Prescott Says

One company of Maryland Min
ute Men" already has been organized
in Montgomery County, and three
additional companies are expected
to be formed this week end, it was
announced today by Circuit Judge
Stedman Prescott, who is in charge
of organization of reserve militia
in the county.
Judge Prescott said hundreds of
men of all ages are f1ocking to regis
tration points in response to Gov
O'Conor's appeal on Tuesday for Or
ganization of reserve militia to re-
pei possible invasion by parachute
troops and combat sabotage in the
State.
Only qualification for those wish
ing to enroll as Minute Men" is
that they bring their own guns,
Judge Prescott explained. A short
age of rifles in the State Guard pre-
vents the militia from using guard
guns, he said. State Guard in
structors, however. will be assigned
to train the militia.

based in Rockville and Judge Pres

For Substitute to
Bottle Suboteurs

Reconsideration of the AFRAID
leave their automobile keys in the
vehicles when warnings sound will
be asked of United States Civilian
Defense Co-ordinator John Russell
Young as result of action taken
last night by the Commissioners
Traffic Advisory Council
The council approved at its meet
ing in Offices of Traffic Director Will
liam A. Van Duzer resolution in
dicating the groups dissatisfaction
with the provision and requesting
that study be made with a view to
developing substitute. The action
was taken on motion of George E.
Keneipp. manager of the Keystone
Automobile Club. who declared the
regulation placed cars at the disposal
of saboteurs.
Mr.. Keneipp said it was his un-
derstanding fifth columniSts drove
vehicles into the middle of Honolulu
intersections during the Pearl Har-
Dor attack, thereby impeding prog
ress of emergency vehicles.
Would Turn Off Traffic Lights.
Mr.. Van DuZer reported he had
come to the conclusion the most
practicable means of dealing with
traffic signals during a blackout
would be to turn them out entirely.
He said shielding devices and reduc-
ton of voltage increased overall
accident hazards by making the
signals virtually useless, in addition
to which it had been found trans
formers to effect the voltage change
could not be obtained because of
production restrictions.
The traffic director added it was
expected the Army soon would an
nounce an approved blackout lamp
for use by motor vehicles. He ex-
planned it would be supplementary
to regular headlight equipment and
would provide adequate Illumination
for travel at moderate speed while
not being visible to aircraft.
Urges Release of Funds.
o. c. Holleran, chairman of the
Councils Committee on Blackout
Precautions, said his unit felt it
would be unable to report anything
constructive until regulations cover
ing vehicle and street illumination
were adopted.
The council approved resolution
calling upon the Commissioners to
release the balance of the traffic
safety education fund. which has
been frozen" for some time, to
finance an intensive educational
program aimed particularly at bet
ter observance of the pedestrian
control regulations. Mr.. Van Duzer
estimated about $4,000 remains in
the fund for this fiscal year.
The resolution was proposed by
Harry S. Wender, chairman of the
Laws and Legislation Committee,
who cited the recent large increase
in the city's population and "the
complete abandonment of observ-
ance of pedestrian control"
