Defense Meeting |
Sergeant Austin, of Baltimore,
howed slides and spoke on the
of Civilian Defense, at |
meeting at the. school Thursday |
His talk was very inter-
sting and he pointed out the inn
'ortance of our Observation Posts |
throughout the state. Delaware lies
n a very important position along
he coast-just between Philadel-
'hia, Washington and Baltimore.
'he work of the observers is most
important. They should not miss
single plane; night reports are
ust as important as in daytime.
The communication system is won
lerful, the message travels much
aster than plane. The planes at
he other end are all in readiness,
making it possible to be off in
earch of an unidentified plane in
ess than five minutes. Sergeant
austin also stressed the importance
# having observers on duty at all
lines. This work is necessary, and
5 the only branch of Civilian De-
ense work which is directly under
he army. 1t is gigantic job, and
hould our volunteers fail to carry
IN, it would have to be taken over
" the army. To do that would
mean the placing of thousands of
oldiers on this work, who are
'adly needed elsewhere. Sergeant
Austin complimented Greenwood
IN the construction of our post,
me of best in state. But we are
hort on observers. Can't we
make this the best manned post in
Delaware? Carl Porter, our chief
observer, needs thirty more volun-
eers in order to have our post
manned efficiently. Will you help,
md make Greenwood 100 per cent
Efficient in this duty?
Carl Porter will receive his Off
;ial appointment by the army as
,hief observer in a short time.
