a splendid job. Eddie Cantor and Walter Winchell are still wise-crack- ing the Axis front line.
 "The Germans and Japs are, in our estimation, a screwy people. They actually take this war serious ly. While you are flddling your way, they are punching their way and believe 1t or not, they are actually occupying territory. Yep, so help me, it's fact; British, French, Russian territory and the territory of the dozen cock-eyed ostriches who called themselves the small nations of Eastern Europe and who f1ddled and grew fat while Rome burned, just as you are doing.
 "Yes, they are even occupying American territory. Or haven't you heard that one yet? You have. And your attitude is The hell with them They haven't reached the Seymour town line yet When they do, you'll show them something. Oh, yeah! Seems to me I have heard that one before.
 MT. Kiernan then mentions the early morning alert as a reason for some slight doubt in my mind as to your ability to function in an emergency"
 Many Away
 He adds, "On the following Sum- day, put in an alert at 3:15 p. m. You see, I didn't want to disturb your slumber, and didn't think you would be in bed at that time. Well, you weren't. You weren't even home. At least 10 out of 18 were not and did not think it worth while to mo- tify the control center. Or were those instructions something you never heard about?
 q heard that you were tired of being alerted and that you really wanted some first aid drill. Well you know my attitude, give the boys what they want! called a meeting and brought Dan Koonz down from a refresher lecture. Did you show up? Six out of 50 wardens did. The other 55 know all the answers.
 Gentlemen, do not believe nor do you, that we can run civilian de- fense on that basis. So let us start to play ball." The memorandum then mentions the meeting tomor- row night, and urges complete at tendance and concludes, If any of the above remarks do not apply to your personally. skip them. But do not skip the meeting"
