more than three and half miles of
copper wire!
A single anti-aircraft shell uses nearly
pounds of copper-a battleship takes
more than2oo, 900 pounds of the red metal.
And during the last war our Signal Corps
strung enough copper wire to stretch
around the world several times.
Add these enormous requirements of
the army and navy together and you can
see why civilian use of copper must be
drastically curtailed.
Power companies, normally the largest
civilian users of copper, no longer can
build long extensions to serve farms, su-
burban homes or non-defense industries.

Don't Be Complacent'

w A T E R WILL E

Waterville, Jan. 8.-To use the words of Mayor Vincent A. Scully, who addressed group of IS last evening in Sprague school gymna- sium ill connection with Civilian Defense Night under the sponsor ship of the Casper B. Davis, Ameri- can Legion post, i've are at war, no card party, no political meeting, or social gathering has the right of way over any aceivity that has the ultimate purpose of defense and preservation of our country. Be calm, be cool, but don't be complacent." ]" The mayor continued, T don't mean to be critical, but we should have nore people here tonight from Wa terville, because one of the greatest arsenals of democracy, is right here b Waterville, the Chase Brass and Copper company. It is right at your doorstep, and how Hitler would like to own 1t or put it out of commits sion."
 The purpose of the meeting was to influence people to attend the Civ- ilian Air Raid Defense school be- ing held at Wilby high auditorium.
 Previous to MT. Scully's talk, George Grady, district air raid war den, spoke on the necessity of more people educating themselves for the preparation of possible ai rraids, stating 5000 air raid wardens are needed, and at present there are only 700 qualified. The city is divided into four zones, with Wa terville in zone D. There are 253 sectors in the city, with Waterville and its respective zone having 87. There is tremendous amount of Worok for the residents of Waterville and all are urged to do their bit.
 Later remarks of the mayor were, This war isn't being fought at Pearl Harbor, Japan, Britain and Russia alone. It is being fought and will be fought wherever there are people left at home, for the enemy to take a crack at.
 The purpose of air raid schools is to train people, so is disaster comes, the people will be able ot minimize the damage that will re- suit. The third air raid Warden's school has opened at Wilby Ses- sion8 will cover seven nights, two hours each night, from 7:30 until 9:30 at Wilby high school and every

 We have millions of men, billinos of dollars" worth O. materials, but to inceraSe our production, we must have men who can bring about the greatest cooperation between man. agement and labor, and effect the maximum efficiency in the produc- ton of machines, he asserted.
 If am elected MT. Talbot con- tinued, T will essay to do all in my power to bring about the necessary efficiency of production, by means of which we can be assured of vic- tory"
 Continuing his address the Re- publican candidate said: We must i persevere with our hearts and souls to gain uncompromising victory over the evil forces which have avowed their intention of completely des- troying our way of life"
 T believe unswervingly in the American form of government, as contraSted with the autocratic sys- tenn of domination and destruction, said MT. Talbot. T place my faith as an American in our tried and tested two-party system, a majority party and a strong, ever-vigilant minority party

| one is urged to attend, and learn what to do in case of bombing. All are in the army of the Civilian De- fense, and We owe it to your fam lilies, neighbors and to the flag, to do sometring about it.
 The third speaker of the evening was then introduced, chief air raid warden, James Curtin, who ex- plained further the activities of the air raid wardens, and the work ing of the air raid center. In case of a bombing, large buildings would probably be damaged, such as fac- tories and hospitals so that an individual telephoning for a doctor, the fire department, etc, would re- ceive no answer, because they would be all serving larged groups, and the individual would have to take care of his own home, for the time being, so that each one should be trained in what to do.
 Arthur Goepels, chairman of the Civilion Defense Night program, brought the meeting to close with the words, taken from the rules of the Boy Scouts, "be prepared.
 Delegations were present from Boy Scout Troop No. 31, the American Legion Auxiliary, and other groups. The colors of the Post and Auxili- ary, were advanced at the begin- ing of the meeting and a group of Post members sat on the platform, with the speakers.
