The Worcester Democrat
Pocomoke City, Md
Dear Mr.. Editor
The emergency landing of the
lost" plane just outside our city last
Tuesday night about 1890 gave us
plenty Of evidence of how foolish the
civilian population can act during an
emergency or at a time Of the "un-
usual" happening.
Do we not realize that we are at
war, and being at war do we not real
ize that the enemy is already within
reach of our shores and an attack on
our civilian population would be no
greater surprise than was the attack
at Pearl Harbor?
First we acted foolishly by crowd
ing out on the streets right in the
beam of that low flying plane. It's
beams played right in the faces of
large groups of people, old and young
alike, who had gathered in open place
where the vision was not DISTRACTED
What a volley of machine-gun fire
could have done is horrible to even
think about much less than the drop
ping of bomb. Fortunate for us the
plane was not an enemy plane. Had
it been an enemy plane there were
certain people in our Civilian Defense
Program whose duty it was to OBJ
serve its movements and what dam
age it might do, but others, should
at least be kept off the street.
But that was not the worst blunder
we made. The man operating the
plane, was evidently looking for an
emergency landing and was directed
by friendly cooperation to potential
landing field which so far was good.
But within ten minutes after the land
ing the roads were literally filled with
civilian traffic, in automobiles and
on foot, so much so that the First
Aid Unit that was rushing to the
scene, which in nine cases out of ten
under such circumstances, it would
have been needed, was delayed at
least ten minutes, or even five in ar
irving at the place of potential need.
A man could have bled to death in
five minutes-burned to death in less
time than that.
Now in the third place, suppose
that had been a decoy plane of the
enemy to draw the mass of our civil
ians to one spot in the open and then
with another, come down and riddle
them with machine-gun fire.
The fact is, as some of us were told
last week in the F. B. 1. School held
at Dover, our complacency can very
easily play a part in our downfall
just as the like of it did in Paris.
We should keep our main highway
through our city open at all times
for any possible military movement
which might be called into action just
such night as last Tuesday night. To
wilfuliy hinder the movement of I'm
Gle Sans Army would be treason and
to just through plain ignorance, play
into the enemy's hands would be no
less hurtfull to our noble cause. Let's
act wisely, keep off the highways
and leave the avenues of travel open
for had we been given the ''black-out"
warning at moment like that there
would have been a panic indeed.
