According to the directors, the
Block Wardens division under sup
ervision of William F. Prettyman,
and the Health and Sanitation div
ision under DR.. Gordon Rosenberg
er's direction are rapidly being fill
ed out, and registration of persons
who might serve with either of
them is of foremost Importance
at this time. Ultimately the service
of all able bodied persons will be
needed, they explained. The train
ing of graduate nurses, who in
turn will be asked to train lay
people is we'll under way, they
said.
Other divisions already being
made ready are: Engineering
Service, John Mcdonald; Fire Di-
vision, Val Wilson, ST.; Police Divi-
sion, John Oxley; Emergency We'll
fare, Mortimer Hayes; Supply Sec
ton, Clarence Mohler.
At a meeting of Federal and
State Civil Defense officials in
Washington on Monday, which was
attended by Col. Chambers, it was
made clear that while Uncle Sam

Civilian Defense is a matter for
the local Defense units to work
out. Delegates were told that no
Federal money will be used for
building air raid shelters for single
families or individuals and no con-
tributions will be made for public
shelters outside of critical target
areas.
State directors and Civil De-
Tense representatives of all United
States possessions learned that a
request for funds covering the cost
of a national shelter program is
in the making. AS predicted, the
program will concentrate on mode
flying existing buildings to make
them suitable as shelters, rather
than build new ones. Local officials
were asked to prepare an. inven-
tory of suitable structures.

Important! Call 2345
For Emergencies Only

An important number for
local residents to remember Is
Rockville 2345. This is the
number to call in case Of fire
and other emergencies where
services Of the Rockville Vol
unteer Fire Department are
sought. However, it must be
remembered that the number Is
for emergencies only. Accord
ing to the Police COmmunica-
tions Office, where these calls
come through, there are always
two or three curious persons
who call this number after an
alarm is sounded. These calls
for information tie up this inn
portant line, making it impos-
sible for anyone to report other
emergencies which might occur
simultaneously, or to give de-
tails concerning an alarm. Many
children make these unneces-
sary calls, the Dispatcher re-
port, and their parents are
asked TO please cooperate in re-
framing them from so doing.
Likewise, older folks, whose
curiosity sometimes gets the
better Of them, are asked to
discontinue the practice of call
ing 2S4b except for emergency
calls.

Recommended
Pay Increases
Are Approved

The County Council on
Tuesday granted the salary
increases to county employees
recommended by the Person
mel Board. 1t went a step
further and also included
most of, those employees not
under jurisdiction of the Per-
sonnet Board as suggested"
by the board last week.
Under the measure as approved,
county police received $500 an
nual increases and most other en-
ployees SEQ increases. The coun-
TVS 2l2 hourly paid employees
were granted an increase Of five
cents an hour.
County and municipal employees
are exempt from the wage
freeze. Employees affected include
1406 of the Board of Education,
including teachers; 633 employees
of the operating departments Of
the county government; 80 State
county employees of the Board Of
Public Welfare; IL unclassified
State-county employees in the as
SCISSORS office, and 6 clerical en-
plOyees assigned to the Trial Mag
istrate Courts.
A total of 1874 employees were
not included in the raises --s73
under the Board of Education and
Ill who either receive more than
$b76O per annum or are members
of boards or commissions whose
salaries are set by statute or by
department heads.
Council members said the in
creases are not intended to affect
future planning for the adjust
ment of basic salaries of school
teachers.
The council said it felt that
granting the increases recommen-
ded by the County Personnel
Board-would enable the county
government to hold on to exper-
fenced personnel, thereby reducing
the increased turnover that has
been occurring in recent months"

sembly with or without the appro-
val Of town fathers. No action
was taken by the Mayor and
Council on the request. They as
serted that the officials had not re-
ceived a copy Of the questionable

told the Association members that
he thought the group was imposing
on the Mayor and Council TO come

Pullen Asks Assembly
For $45 Million
For State Schools

A $45 million building and
spending program for Maryland
