FUNERAL HELD WE'D.

An elderly Smyrna man and his
wife both died suddenly, within 10
minutes of each other, early Sun
day morning. Arthur o. Biers, 68,
of Rodney Street, collapsed at
about 2:10 am. His wife, Mrs.

ing to a physician. The neighbor
called by Mrs. Biers was ]. Leslie

him her husband had fallen and
she thought he was dying.
Physician Called
Mr.. Pryor rushed next door and
found Mr.. Biers on the floor. He
called the family physician, DR..
Harold ]. Laggner of Smyrna, but
was unable to reach him immedi-
ately, and put in a call for another
physician, DR.. John ]. Lazzeri, and
also asked the Smyrna police for
help. The neighbor had been in the
house only a few minutes when
Mrs. Biers, who had been under
treatment for a heart condition,
suffered the heart attack. Both
physicians and the American Leg
ion ambulance arrived at the house
few minutes later. The couple
had moved to Smyrna about three
years ago, upon Mr.. Biers' retire
ment from business. He had been
an importer in New York City. The
only survivor is a son, Howard W.
Biers, a consulting engineer in

LIONS HEAR
DEFENSE HEAD
VIM. E. Matthews, Jr., Direc-
tor of Civil Defense, Tells
Lions of Local Program
OVERALL PICTURE GIVEN

The urgency and Importance of
the citizenry becoming aware of
the civil defense program locally
was stressed in talks by Acting
Mayor William Kruchen, and the
director of civil defense for Smyr-
ma, William e. Matthews, Jr., be-
fore the Smyrna Lions Club Mon
day night. Mr.. Kruchen was intro
duced by Frank Greenwell, and his
talk included the presentation of
the overall picture, national, state,
and local of the plans TO prepare
the people for emergencies. He
said that the theory is that the
enemy strategy would seek to de-
moralize the whole nation and low
er morale; cripple industry; cripple
the centers of governmental activ-
ity; and cripple sea transportation.
He also described various types of
bombs.
Local Defense Set-Up
Mr.. Matthews, former mayor,
gave an incisive word picture of
the local set-up for defense, and
for helping other communities in
the event of disaster, and said that
the response to his calls for chair
men of the many phases had been
good. He emphasized that it is the
duty of each individual to assume
responsibility, and to fulfill that
responsibility to the best of his
ability. He asked for the coopera-
ton of all groups and individuals.
He described the set-up, under
mayor and council, and director, of
committees and subdivisions,
which include publicity and legal
committee, air raid wardens, evac-
uation and transportation, medical
program, which includes SANTA
tion, first aid, nursing; fire depart
ment and the enlisting of auxiliary
firemen; police, playing a vital role
and asking urgently for volunteers
to act as auxiliary police; indus
trial committee, and communica-
tions. Training in all of these
phases will follow organization.
His concluding plea to the Lions,
and to all citizens was: "The ans
wer lies in your hands" The re-
sponse was made by Victor D. En-
mis-, and pledge of cooperation OF
the Lions Club was given by the
president, Burrill t. Mccoy. The
invocation was given by Joseph
jefferson, and group singing was
led by Frank Siekmann. Reports
