SEEK VOLUNTEERS
FOR FIRE DETAIL
Richard GOss Selected to
Direct Campaign for
Recruits

I A campaign to secure hundreds
more volunteers for civilian defense
duty is to be started by the Civilian
Defense Volunteer Office, according
to an announcement by Mrs. Mark
L. Sperry, Jr., president. Richard
Goss has been appointed chairman
of the recruiting committee and will
direct the city-wide campaign.
The organization announced that
enrolment of men as AUXILIARY fire
men will be especially sought.
Says a G. D. v, o. statement:
Many eye witnesses Of the blitz
in England have emphasized the
fact that this is a fire war. Also,
all our experts tell us that incen-
diary bombing here this coming
summer is not improbable. If that
is the case, the apathy Of Water
bury men to join this particular
branch Of the volunteer protection
units of our city must be thrown
off at once. Hundreds Of men must
sign up as auxiliary firemen i'm
mediately.
I'm any major incendiary bomb
ing OF waterbury, the hospitals
and factories will have the first
call on the regular fireNen and
apparatus The saving of our
homes will depend on the efficiency
and number OF the auxiliary fire
force.
Some have questioned whether
they can be auxiliary firemen
in their factories during working
hours and auxiliary firemen in
their home districts during leis-
ure hours. In most Of the indus
trial plants each shift will be self
sufficient and there is no reason
why men may not serve as fire.
men at work or at home. Mr..
Goss urges every man who Is not
already working in some volun-
tary defense capacity to sign up
at once at the Civilian Defense
Volunteer Office, Field street"
