ALERT RULES, PRACTICE AND ACTUAL,
Civilian Defense Director Issues Complete Di-
 reetions for Public

To insure the public's knowing definitely the difference between Practice Alerts and Actual Alerts and how to govern their conduct accordingly, the Juneau Civilian Defense Council authorizes the fol- lowing announcement:
 Initial Alarm Same
 The initial alarm of both Prac- tice Alerts and Actual Alerts is given by sounding l-2 on the fire siren.
 Practice Alerts are designed to give practice to the members of the Juneau Civilian Defense or ganization in the performance of their duties and to make the gen eral public conscious of the neces- sity, for the preservation of their own lives, of keeping under cover should actual enemy raids occur,
 In Practice Alerts all Civilian Defense members should immedi- ately report to their proper sta- tions, and all members of the pub lie should remain indoors or, if upon the streets, immediately seek shelter indoors or preferably in the nearest air raid shelter, and cease all automobile traffic
 No Surprise Practices
 No Practice Alert will be called without previous publicity. If the alert 1-2 is sounded, without pre- vious public notice, the public will know that the Defense Council has received information of a threat ened or impending actual enemy attack
 Actual Alert
 Upon the sounding of the Alert 1-2, without previous publicity, all auxiliary police, air raid wardens, and auxiliary firemen should inn mediately report to their proper stations, and remain on duty until relieved. All members of the De- fense Council staff should imme- diately report to the Control Sta tion in the City Hall.
 Schools, churches, theatres, lodg- es, and other places in which peo- pie are congregated should imme- diately disperse and either go to their homes or, if necessary, to their places of business to guard CT close them, or to the nearest air raid shelter. If the building in which they are congregated is an air raid shelter, then they may stay there.
 All persons, other than those necessary to close up or guard stores and businesses, should inn mediately return to their homes or ordinary places of domicile, or the nearest air raid shelter.
 Emergency Kit
 They should make certain they have quickly available warm cloth ing and an emergency supply of food should evacuation become eX- pedient.
 All dogs and other domestic ami mals should be securely confined indoors.
 Air raid wardens and auxiliary police will aid in directing bott pedestrian and automobile traffic so that everyone may reach home and the streets be entirely cleared as quickly as possible.
 Information Given Out
 As soon as the Defense Counci receives authentic information after the sounding of an unan- nounced Alert 1-2, as to when tht impending or threatened enemy attack may be expected, it vii spread, through the air raid war 
 dens, that information to the resi- dents of the town. If sufficient time offers, before the attack, tC permit evacuation, orders will bt immediately issued to evacuatt everybody in accordance with the plans previously published. In case of evacuation every person should take with him warm clothing ano an emergency supply of food.
 Immediate Attack
 If an actual enemy attack is i'm mediately impending, the general alarm will be given by staccato sounding of the fire horn and by a general sounding of all whistles and bells in Juneau. Should the general alarms sound, either with or without previously sounding the Alert 1-2, the public will know the attack is immediately imminent and all persons should remain in doors, keep away from windows
