were almost completely unprepared
and what happened? Their in
difference in organizing an efficient
civil defense should be grim warm
ing to us.
Here are some really important
things to remember. They make up
civil defense:
l. A possible enemy has the weapons
now to attack us.
2. There is a defense against any
attack, including atomic warfare, and
civil defense is big part of it.
8. At least 100000 Americans
must be trained in civil defense. and
every American must learn the facts
of survival.
4. Without civil defense your city
would be helpless; with civil defense,
your losses could be cut in half.
Must Have Support
5. Your State and local civil defense
directors must have your support.
They have an important job for you
no matter where you live.
6. Read the official civil defense
booklets right away. You can double
your chances of survival if you know
what to do.
7. Civil defense is up to you. Get
into civil defense right now.
The biggest problem before us now
is to be prepared on the home front
and that problem can be met only
through civil defense. Each of US
must have a job to do if trouble
comes-and must know how to do it.
(The next article will discuss who
is responsible for civil defense)

you to think about.
Try to picture the number of train
ed workers that would be needed to
handle an attack situation. AS an
example, single frst-aid station
should consist of almost 200 workers.
They could handle about 600 wounded
people in "a hours.
TO care for those injured by one
Hiroshima-size atomic bomb, nearly
100 such first-aid stations would be
needed. That adds up to more than
10000 first-aid workers needed for
each atomic bomb - but it doesn't
include hospital stats.
An engineering service as large or
even larger would be needed to clear
away the rubble before first-aiders
could reach the wounded. A highly
trained rescue service would be need
ed to get people out of wrecked or
burning buildings. A large and efficient
supply service would be needed to
bring in food, clothing, and medicine.
Job of Helping Homeless
There would be other jobs of put
ting out fires, restoring utilities,
caring for the homeless, gathering
families together again. feeding the
people, and getting the factories and
community life rolling once more.
Most of the ways of meeting atomic
disaster are not new or different, ex-
cept in size The biggest problem is
to prepare ourselves to handle dis
asters greater than any that ever
have struck the United States.
Remember what you read in the
previous article about the Japanese
at Hiroshima and NaGasaki. They
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1951-11-01

I showed the ad to Mary, but
she insisted that we didn't have
any mice or rats.
Later / got to thinking about
it. / hoped that KILT would not
be cat-we already had one
cat, and there just isn't room for
another one in our two by four
apartment. But then, they
couldn't send you cat by mail,
could they?
I thought of a buddy of mine, Bill
Stout. He was a chronic smoker
you know the type. The world is
his ashtray. He had already started
several expensive fires by laying
down cigarettes and forgetting
where he'd put them. He had seen
an ad in the paper for an ashtray
guaranteed to snuff forgotten ciga-
rettes. Just the thing for him. He d
ordered the thing, and when it came
in the mail he had found out why it
had been guaranteed-it had to be
filled with water. How we'd all
laughed at Bill for being caught by
slick advertising.
PUT how could a mousetrap be
~ guaranteed to kill if it didn' t
do just that? No, l was safe enough
from the hilarity of our crowd. If 1
bought a lemon and the story hap
pened to leak out, I should never
hear the end of it, particularly
from Bill. I remember how mad
he'd been when l laughed at him.
But mousetrap guaranteed to kill
there was no way of getting
around it.
I tried to figure out what the
thing would be like. Basically a
mousetrap doesn't appear capable
of much change. l mean to say, the
thing we all know as a mousetrap
is sound, and seems about the only
way to go about catching mice short
of running after them.
That same Sunday night l had
dreams about mOusetraps. Pm
one of those guys who can al
ways remember his dreams
with crystal clarity. The mouse
traps l had entertained in my
subcOnscious during the night,
while they had seemed pretty
good at the time, were complete
waShOuts in the harsh light of
day. Most of them were Rube
Goldberg affairs, and meme of
them would have worked.
I began to forget the beastly
mousetrap though Mary didn't. APP
parently a workable idea had come
to her while she was down at the
market, and she had held up the
line at the cashiers counter by de-
manding a piece of paper and a
pencil-neither of which she ever
has with her-and sletching out a
fairly detailed plan Of the thing,
deaf to the selfish barracking OF
the pushing assortment of waiting
housewives. She brought it home,
indignant at the attitude of the
shopping public, and showed it tC
me. l said it would have been the
best mousetrap to hit civilization
yet, and where are you going to get
the cyclatron to work it?
we Wefen kept IN suspense Toe
much longer. A package came in or
the mail on the Wednesday OF
Thursday Of the same week. It was
very heavy, and had cost twenty
four cents to mail. We ripped il
open and out came a flat slab o.
wood about six inches square and {
piece Of lead pipe foot long. Anc
a sheet of printed instructions which
started out: Place the mouse OF
rat to be killed on the wooden block
and strike it smartly behind the
ears with the pipe.
