Col. BoI|es Plan,
New Warden
Training Policy
Volunteers Sought
To Enlarge Civilian
Defense Rolls

Emphasizing that civilian defense
needs all the volunteers it can mus
ter, Col. Lemuel Bolles, executive
director of District civilian defense
last night announced that special
arrangements would be made to
adjust the problems of the mer
and women on the rolls of the
warden service who were not certi-
fed or registered for training be-
fore the December l deadline.
At the same time he disclosed
that the latest figures indicated
that only about 5000 men and
women failed to meet the deadline
instead of the much higher figure
previously estimated.
1t was explained that the pre-
December 81 warden rolls con-
tanned the names of 1886 wardens
though the entire Service, including
fire watchers, messengers and
emergency feeding and housing per-
sonnet, comes to 36,414.
$4,000 Approved.
OF the 1886 wardens approXi-
mately $4,000 have either been
certified or are approved for certifl-
cation. Another 5000 are now reg
lstered for training. Subtracting
the thousand or more individuals
who have left the city or resigned
to enter the armed forces, the total
OF those who were carried on the
rolls but were not in training comes
to approximately 5000.
For the latter group Col Bolles
said he had been assured by warden
headquarters that in any instances
where individuals were prevented
from registering for training be-
cause of circumstances beyond their
control, such as the demands of
employment, some arrangement
would be worked out for them to
register later.
He also advised any warden who
felt he had been unjustly affected
by the order requiring registration
for training by December 81 to take
his case to his sector warden or
next highest in command and state
the facts.
Way to Be Found.
Since, in taking that action, he
is obviously actuated by a sincere
desire to serve his community, y
Col. Bolles said some way can
certainly be found to utilize his
services"
He pointed out that the training
requirement was a national rather
than local order, affecting all parts
OF the country where Federal prop
erty, on loan from OCD, was in
use
"A few simple regulations are
necessary in any CASE he said, ''in
order that we be an organized. eff
fective force and not just a group
OF Well-meaning individuals. But
since the first days of organization
it has been the policy of Defense
Co-ordinator John Russell Young
to place great emphasis on good
faith. neighborly spirit and plain
common sense in the application of
all rules. This policy will con-
tinue."
Stressing that the community
needs the services of every willing,
patriotic citizen, Col. Bolles said he
was glad to report that one out of
every four and a half adults in this
area is already enrolled in some
phase of civilian defense work.

Box shook is an essential commodity in
the citrus business, Just bOw essential was
demonstrated even before World War |
when a severe citrus shook shortage oc-
cured and prices were increased 7596.
The beneficial results already obtained
from cooperative marketing encouraged
growers to employ the same methods in
solving their shook supply problem. They
organized the Fruit Growers Supply Com
pany and through it purchased their own

siderable savings can be realized, sharper
vigilance exercised over specifications and
values. Needs of Exchange members can
be estimated in advance and materials de-
livered where and when they are wanted.
But its fundamental value has again been
demonstrated in World War II. Once more
shook is scarce. To make up for the dwin-
ding supplies from other manufacturers,
Supply Companymills are constantly work
ing to increase production. Without them
tits doubtful that enough citrus boxes could
have been secured to ship the current crop.
The insurance policy is still paying div
