new INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FIRST AlDERS,
CASUALTY GROUPS

First Aid groups and casualty sta
ton groups are not to report to
the stations during practice "alerts
or even in the case of an actual
raid. until after bombs actually fall,
it was announced this morning by
DR.. w. P. Blanton, of the Civil De-
tense Committee.
In the case of bombs being drop
ped, First Aiders and members of
the Casualty Station groups are
to proceed to their stations with
caution, according to instructions
that have been given to them. he
said.
In order to give the First Aiders
the practice they desire, special
evening alerts for this purpose, at
which time Boy Scouts, or others
will simulate wounded cases, will be
held occasionally in which case the
First Aiders and Casualty Station
groups will be notified through
the newspaper, DR.. Blanton said.
There may be many practice
alerts during the summer and it is
possible that the city may be placed
on a twenty-four hour or longer
alert by the military However, UNI
less there are bombs dropped there
would be no need for the First Aid
and Casualty Station groups to
remain at their stations. On the
other hand, if bombs were dropped,
the statement in yesterdays paper
that these groups were to wait for
the 'all-clear' would be confusing.
I'm practice alerts, unless spe-
officially notified, the First Aiders
and Casualty Station groups are
not to report at any time, before or
after the all-clear' >, he emphasized.

SCATTER TRACT
RESIDENTS ASK
FOR PROJECTS
Petition City Council for
Sidewalks, Streets,
Rock Walls


Several residents from the Scatter
Tract last night petitioned the City
Council to build more rock walls,
sidewalks and streets in that area,
rather than build rock walls else
where. Henry Messerschmidt, chair
man of the Streets Committee, told
one petitioner that a rock wall
had been started up one street in
the tract and that the city work
had been discontinued because one
resident had refused to deed the
necessary land.
Mayor Harry I. Lucas requested
the Street Committee to make a
new study of the conditions in the
Tract and report back to the coun-
Gil.
The council granted a taxi stand
to Don LoZzie in front of the
Miners Pool Hall, and also received
request from several taxi COM
panies asking the council to lower
the age limit for taxi drivers from
10 to 16 years of age because of
a shortage of drivers. The Mayor
referred this request to the Police
Committee.
On the motion of Councilman
Harry Lea, the council voted that
the Street Committee should make
report of proposed projects at
the beginning of each month.
Mayor Lucas reported that he IS
having difficulty in purchasing pill
ing with which to repair the City
Dock because most of the piling
is being taken for government work.
