LA PLATA, Md, Feb. 5.-If you
ever start passing out medals for
exceptional civilian defense work,
Mayor La Guardia, save one of your
incest and shinest for the citizens
Of Charles County, Md. They're
doing q job here that would put
their city cousins to shame.
Almost overnight, the Free States
second greatest tobacco-producing
county was transformed from
quiet rural area into teeming
center of civilian protection &C
tivity. Farms may suffer from lack
of attention, but you won't catch
Charles County mapping in an air
raid.
Tobacco growers are spending
hours on duty in air raid observa-
ton posts. Workers from the powder
factory at Indianhead are being
trained as air raid wardens, or first
aid men, or auxiliary flremen.
Housewives-hun of them-are
serving as spoilers" are fixing up
canteens and supply posts and med
ical depots; studying home nursing
or registering volunteers. Boys are
being trained as stretcher bearers.
Watch Skies "a Hours . Day.
More than 1,100 of the county's
20 ,OOO-odd residents are learning
first-aid and/or home nursing, with
Is first-aid classes and II nursing
classes in operation. Nearly 200 al
ready have been trained as auxiliary
firemen, and 81 AFRAID wardens are
undergoing training.
At strategic points throughout the
495 square emile area II air observa-
ton posts have been established and
are being operated by volunteers "a
hours a day every day in the week.
The observation post at La Plata
nerve center of the entire setup-is
a 25-foot-high tower built in the
middle of an orchard just outside OF
town by volunteer labor, with ma
terial donated by. the citizens.
There's an even larger observation
tower, so feet high, at Waldorf.
Every airplane that comes within
speaking distance of the county is
reported to defense headquarters in
La Plata-just in case and just for
practice.
Ambulance System Set Up.
Two large trucks already have
been converted for use as flrst-class
ambulances and As other trucks and
station wagons are available for
similar emergency use. In addition,
about so automobiles have been
signed up for service as secondary"
ambulances for less serious injury
cases.
The emergency medical service Is
one Of the most elaborate Of all.

Charles County Farmers Raise
Strong Civil Defense System
Tobacco Country Goes About to Prevent
Heavy Toll Should Raiders Appear

Health Officer Daniel S. Fisher, a
staff of Is doctors, IA registered
nurses and hundreds of volunteers
has established auxiliary hospital
units in all high schools in the
county. These are being equipped
with beds, medical supplies, blan-
kets, etc. The County Hospital here
will serve as the main hospital base,
with the Naval Dispensary at In
dianhead as the secondary base.
Mainsprings of the whole setup
are James w. Wills, a wholesale oil
distributor. who is chairman Of the
County Defense Council, and P. D.
Brown, county agricultural agent,
who is assistant chairman. Sheriff
Robert v. Cooksey, auxiliary police
director, plans to deputize all of the
AFRAID wardens. Charles Levering,
chief of the La Plata Volunteer Fire
Department, has charge of auxiliary
flremen; Thomas P. McDonagh, an
automobile dealer when there are
automobiles to be had, is in charge
of transportation and evacuation,
and his brother, Clarence Nc
Donagh, heads the air observation
squad.
One of the most energetic of the
crew is John H. Taylor, chief air.
raid warden. With Principal Milton
M. Somers of the La Plata Con-
solidated School, he devised an
evacuation plan which has worked
perfectly in two tests. In one of
the drills, held yesterday, the $50
pupils in the school were evacuated
SIS seconds after the alarm was
sounded. They leave in groups of
10, and 60 to designated homes dur
ing an alarm.
Pearl Harbor Spurred Program.
The organization had been under
way for some. time, but Pearl Harbor
started things moving swiftly. On
December 8 the observation posts
went on a 24-hour schedule, and
Mr.. Wills proceeded to ask the
county commissioners for some de-
tense money. They provided $1,000,
SAo VAC OAoA0CllS 1ldtC lldu W use
very little Of the fund because Of
a flood Of contributions Of needed
articles and material.
The county considers its defense
organization of extraordinary i'm
portance because Of the proximity
of such places as the marine base
at Quantico, only IA miles away;
the powder plant at Indianhead
about II miles away, the proving
aground, 10 miles away, and the big
Morgantown Bridge. And, of course,
it's not too far from Washington,
the citizens contend. to be useful in
taking care of residents who may
be forced to evacuate the capital.
I'VE feel that our defense work
probably will do Washington . lot
more good than 1t will US, since we
can warn the city Of; approaching
enemy planes" said Mr.. Brown.

Only Healthy People
Should Handle Babies

ONE of the most important
" things a mother can do to
keep her baby healthy is to prevent
his coming in close contact with
anyone who has an infectious dis
ease.
He should be prevented not only
from the usually communicable dis
eases Of childhood such as diptheria,
scarlet fever, measles, chicken pox,
and whooping cough, but the unde-
tected infections that can be COM
municated even when the carrier
ldoes not know that he or she has
them. Only healthy people, DR..
Josephine Kenyon warns in the No
vember issue Of Good Housekeeping
magazine should handle baby.
This means, DIR. Kenyon says, not
only the mother, father, brothers,
sisters and other relatives, but the
permanent and temporary helpers in
your home as we'll = anyone who
handles the baby, his clothing or
linen or his food. A trained baby's
nurse will undoubtedly have had a
complete physical examination, and
, her health can be assured by the
hospital, but a thorough cheek-up
on the health of any part-time helper
should be made.
DR.. Kenyon suggests that You talk
with the applicant for the job in a
friendly way and explain that you
wish to have around your baby only
healthy individuals. The best way
to be sure Of that is by medical ex-
animation. Has she had one recent
Iy? If so, would she mind asking her
doctor to give her a card saying that
she is free from communicable dis
eases. If not, then explain the value
of q health examination - for her
self as well as for the baby's pro-
ection.
