In Africa the only decent places
that an American soldier could go
to were sponsored and operated
by the American Red Cross.
Since my arrival here in "Italy,

the wonderful work of your Or

which has occurred to my COM
pany several times.

This little that I am donating

they are now.
Well here's to q quick end Of

CC11COO1Cu I'LL 1dSO OuI1UdX.
State War Administrator Harold
F. Woodcock stated that he would
negotiate with the Army to withhold
final decision on weather condi-
tons until Sunday morning. Last
week the event was called of Sat-
urday afternoon in the light Of off,
cial forecasts of very bad flying
conditions for the following day
Actually, Sunday provided ideal
weather.
Should weather conditions force
1ast-minute postponement Sunday
morning for another week, every
effort will be made to broadcast the
decision by radio and 1t will be
transmitted to local War Councils
by means of the alerting commune
cations system.
Stressing the Importance of the
test, Mr.. Woodcock pointed out
that air raid wardens who have
been accustomed to handling planted
incidents in previous tests will be
placed on their mettle. and given a
real opportunity to exhibit initia-
tive and resourcefulness in report
ing and determining the relative
dangers" of bombs landing their
sectors. Six types of bombs" will
be used, each designated by stream
ers of different colors.
Munltion plants and other Strate-
gic detectives Of raiding planes will
bear the brunt Of the statewide at
tack which is scheduled to occur
between 1870 and o'clock Sunday
afternoon. Audible signals will be
sounded and the public will partici-
pate IN accordance with the regula-
lions prescribed by the Connecticut
War Council.
Each paper bomb carrying black
Streamers will denote so enemy
paratroopers. Local commanders
have been reminded by the State
Operations Section that all infor-
nation pertaining to the presence
of "enemy forces" must be relayed
Immediately to the District Warn
ing Center, which, In turn, must
notify the State Operations head
quarters. The State Guard, State
Police and Army units throughout
the Sixth Security District will be
alerted, on paper in this instance,
by the State Operations Headquar-
tiers.
Other types of bombs will be de-
noted by streamers Of the follow
ing colors: Incendiary, red; explo-
sive, orange; high explosive, blue;
unexploded, green; and gas, yellow.
The public, which will be indoors
during the actual bombing runs,
is expressly urged not to touch
bombs after the exercise but to
leave them to the attention of war
dens whose reports will activate
other Civilian Defense protective
units as required.
Each one of the paper bombs will
contain a 1eaflet which wardens
later will transmit to 17-year-old
boys urging the latter to enlist with
the Civil Air Patrol for pre-avia-
ton experience prior to assignment
with the Air Corps Enlisted Re-
serve. Inasmuch as statewide
distribution of application blanks
for the Fourth War Loan already
has been made, preliminary plans
to include blanks in the bombs
were cancelled.
