POCAHONTAS NOTES

On last Mondays sleep, October
18th, in the Pocahontas lodge hall,
which was beautifully decorated
with huge baskets and vases of
dahlias, chrysanthemum and snap
dragon, about 35 of our members
were present, also some visitors
from Wilmington. Our Deputy Po-
cahontas, Sister Marie Worthing-
assisted by Past Deputy, Sister
Edith Niblett, with Sister Katie
Fitzgerald at the piano, raised the
following officers, both elected and
appointed, to tn cir respective
places: Prophecies, Sister Eliza
beth Short; Pocahontas, Sister Cor
nelia Oliphant; Winona, Sister
Lena Stevens; Powatan, Sister
Doris Wilkie; First Scout, Sister
Jennie Cleaver; Second Scout, Sis
ter Anna Prettyman; first Warrior,
Sister Anna Wilker; second War
rior, Sister Alice Truitt; third
Warrior, Sister Katie Oliphant;
fourth Warrior, Sister Mabel Man
love; first Runner, Sister Clara
Palmer; second Runner, Sister
Ella Stevenson; first Councillor,
Sister Catherine Wilkerson; sec
ond Councillor, Sister Serena
Hayes; Guard of Forest, Sister
Viola Courtney; Guard of Tepee,
Sister Olivia Abbott; Trustee, Sis
ter Ella Rodgers.
Our Past Pocohantos, Sister Eliz-
abeth Short, received many very
nice gifts, including a desk set
from her officers. We feel she is
worthy of all she received. Also all
the praise that has been given her
she deserves.
Sister Sharp gave her officers a
very nice gift with an extra remem-
brance for good attendance and
so forth.
Our Deputy, Sister Worthington,
also got some very nice gifts, in
Guiding two Hurricane lamps, from
the Council. Several others re-
ceived gifts from friends and their
Pals.
So now we have our new POca-
hontas, Sister Cornelia Oliphant.
And the gasoline situation isn't a
mite better than six months ago.
But let's all try and give her our
support. We have done it before
and we can do it again.

PUBLIC URGED NOT
TO MAKE PHONE CALLS
DURING AN AIR RAID
(oontlnued irom FIrst PaEel


first half hour after the all-clear,
the telephone call volume was
more than double the normal vol
ume.
"In the interest of the general
public, it is imperative that only
essential calls be made during an
air raid warning test" said Mr..
Sypherd. "It is necessary to hold
down the number of calls not only
during the actual blackout, but for
some time after the all-clear.
1--WE must all work as a team if
we are to be really prepared for an
air raid. There will be no time
then for requests. Now is the
time to form the habit of co-opera-
tion. Just as front-line troops
need rapid communications so our
defense organizations require the
unhampered use of telephone SER
vice, even If the air raid alarm is a
practice test. We learn by prac-
tice and practice is essential if all
are to work as a team during a
grave emergency. 10.
After real raid, the all-clear
would not mean that everything
was all right. 1t would mean that
the enemy planes had left vicinity
and were headed elsewhere. But
the need for fast telephone service
would be acute and imperative for
all the agencies of public safety.
Let us say then that the all-clear
would mean that telephone lines |
must be all-clear for official emer-
yency calls-and there would be
,lenty of them"

We were really excited Monday

covering the road next to the canal
and the waves from the bay beating
against our high banks. We've had
a regular sand storm, for the wind

hard spots. The girls, of course,
complained of the, sand cutting
their legs.
The counselors tell us that they

SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES
"SMASH THE 9TH COLUMN


We have been aroused by the ac-
tions of Nazi spies and saboteurs
captured in this country, yet we let
the menace of the 7th Column go
unnoticed and unattended to.
CARELESSNESS is America s
7th Column. CARELESSNESS is
causing more waste of our human
and material resources, more con-
fusion and delay in our Victory
program, than all the rumore start
ed by the 9Th Column and the sabo-
tage by the 5th Column.
This 7th Column must be smash
ed Not by passing laws or in
creasing the force and efficiency of
our Federal Bureau of InVestiga-
tion. 1t will be smashed only when
the people of this great nation
realize that every accident, indus
trial, highway, or home-is an aid
to the Axis and prolongs this war.
The Delaware Safety Council be-
lieves that smashing the 7th Col
umn is the greatest contribution
that the people of country at war
can make to its government.
IDLE HANDS WORK FOR
Remember that slogan
and learn lesson from it. Wheth-
er a man is killed or injured during /
his working hours at the plant or
office or whether the accident oc-
ours during his off hours, the time
mas been wasted and can not be
replaced.
One-fourteenth of the accidents
hat hinder our efforts for "VIC-

accidents which occur at the plant
while on the job. Thirteenth-four-
eenths of the accidents are nom
disabilities, accidents
which occur off the job. on your
way home from work, at home. or
Turing your leisure hours. That is

Let's smash the 7th Column and
