IF war should be declared said
BrintOn Holloway, head of the Civil
ian Defense for the Harrington area,
in an address before the Harrington
Rotary Club, this section will be
one of the most critical areas.
I'VE had a 24-hOur-per-day watch
during the last war and are arrang-
ing for a comparable program now.
At present we have only the frame
work of that plan"
The speaker cited our proximity
to such vital points as New York,
the shipbuilding plants and Oil CEN
ters along the Delaware River, the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, the
many DUPONT plants, the naval yards
in the Norfolk area and the war ma
chinery plants in and near Balti-
more.
Such war potentials as these
would be the first objective of the
enemy" continued the speaker. Our
duty as spoilers would be to discov-
er enemy planes at once and get
the information, to headquarters
without a seconds delay. Most of
these planes would be- intercepted,
but that would not end the danger.
This time they will not be carry
ing the type of bombs used in
World War II, but in all pOssibili-
ty, atomic bombs. When intercept
ed, in order to gain altitude and
escape, they might unload their
cargo of bombs-aEd many of these
could be dropped on points in
Delaware"
Mr.. Holloway then read from a
booklet the proper action to take
in the event of such bombings. The
Rotary Club decided to buy a hun
dred of these booklets for its men,
bers and for general distribution.
Bob Smith was chairman of the
evening.

Scheduled.

A memorial service will be
held Sunday morning at 400 a.
m. at Redeemer Lutheran church
in Richland for Doctor Walter
A. Maier, well-known speaker
for the International Lutheran
Hour, who passed away on the
morning of January II, as the
result of a heart ailment. DR..
Maier was stricken several
weeks ago, and was unable to
broadcast for the past two weeks.
It was expected that he would
recover and, be able to resume
his Gospel preaching when the
Lord, in His infinite wisdom and
grace, took His servant from this
world to Himself in Heaven.
Christians of all denomina-
tons will mourn the passing Of
this noted Evangelist, who has
been champion of the old
fashioned Gospel, and the funda-
mental truths of the Inspiration
of the Bible, the Deity of Christ,
and Salvation of the Sinner by
Faith in Christ. e
During the II years of his RAJ
dio ministry the Lutheran Hour
has grown until it has become
the largest radio broadcast OF
any kind in the world, being
broadcast each week over more
than twelve hundred stations a..
| round the world, and in thirty.
six different languages. At the
present time the Gospel of Christ
is being beamed beyond the
Iron Curtain of Russia by Radio
Luxemburg, the most powerful
station in Europe. DR.. Maier had
been receiving letters at the
rate of twenty-five thousand per
week from Christians of all de-
nominations who are grateful
for the Word of God which salts.
fies, and from thousands of peo-
pie who testify that they have
been brought to the acceptance
| of Christ by his Spirit filled
messages. The familiar, fervent
voice of DR.. Walter A. Maier
bringing Christ to the Nations
will be heard no more on this
earth, and Christendom will
miss it. @ @
