.IR RAID IN
AS PROBABLE
State Civilian Defense Leader
Quotes Military View on
Chances Here.
Talks, War Movies, Incendiary
Demonstration Feature
Local Meeting.

Speaking at a civilian defense
meeting in the high school Monday
night, William G.. Ferguson of Hell
ena, state director, emphasized the
Importance Of being prepared for
air raids and quoted Maj. John L.
Eaten, commander of the Great
Falls airbase, as telling him, 1T is
not only possible but probable that
before the war is over Montana is
going to get some kind of a DEM
Cnstration."
Both Ferguson and Eugene Saw
age of Butte, deputy state director,
were speakers at the meeting. r. l..
Irle presided. Other featurues were
movies of Americans in COM
bat and an incendiary bomb dem
o~nstration. Both men talked to high
school pupils in the afternoon.
Ferguson referred to doubling
Thomases" and said every town has
them. isn't it sufficient: to say
that military authorities who know
better than we do what is going
on are urging complete and effic-
lent civilian defense organizatiors?"
he asked.
Strangely Quiet
AS a matter Of fact, he added,
the army is actually disturbed oyer
the lack of fifth column work and
sabotage on the west coast. Their
mere absence makes authorities
think that organized groups are
only waiting for an opportune mo-
ment," he declared.
He stressed the work of the new
service corps and those present
were asked to sign as volunteers.
The service corps is a new "block
system" whereby a block leader dis
tributes literature and gives the
people in his block authentic in
formation about new government
plans, the new point system of
rationing, for example.
A service corps chairman will be
appointed and en- his executive COM
mittee will be the chairmen of all
other war groups and committees
in the county.
Tells of BOmbings
Mr.. Savage sketched his own eX-
perience under bombingS as an n
gineer for stone q Webster when
he was stationed in Spain and the
Balearic islands during the Spanish
civil a He stressed the need to

plain of meat rationing, in Nazi-
occupied countries We find the lives
are being %rationed, he declared.
I'VE can only keep such things
away by giving more of our selves"
he concluded. I'VE must fling back
in his face the challenge OF Herr
Gcebbels, his statements that the
Americans are too soft to win this
war;"
Preceding the talks, the Glasgow
Kiltie band. directed by c. I. Carl
Son, played. Both magnesium and
5hermite bombs were demonstrated
by Mr.. Savage, who also showed
means of controlling and exiting
