 The Frontiersman from lime to
 lime with the following as his
 introduction:
 ARE YOU PREPARED?
 The following reminder, is very timely and brings home the true fact that the time to organize Civil Defense forces is NOW and not AFTER a disaster has occur red. It has been said that the Rus sians have atomic bombs and planes in sufficient numbers and excellence to assaul all of our major cities in one attack. There is little or nothing we can do to stop them. The best to be ex- pected is that some ten percent of the attacking forces may be doWned or deflected. The attack can come with little or no warn ing. The best we can hope for is a few minutes notice. The Rus sians are capable and ready to deliver this destruction whenever they feel like it-whenever it is most profitable for them to so so. For the above reasons it is highly imperative that we become prepared NOW.
 If a tornado, fire, flood, earth quake or other catastrophe strikes cur town, plant or school tonight, WHY NOT BE READY? Civil Defense should be organized as follows: STAFF, LOCAL DIREC- TOR, ADVISORY COUNCIL, Emergency Teams consisting of mass care, first aid, fire, police, rescue and utilities. It's too late to organize AFTER disaster strikes.
 If war comes, or a natural dis aster of magnitude occurs, Alaska will not be immune. If we are not harmed directly by bombing, we must consider the probability of food shortages and the possib- ility of meteorological, chemical, and atomic warfare as a serious menace.
 There will be fires and disord- CTS to cope with; our food SUD- plies, our fuel, or electric power, gasoline for cars, trucks, and tractors will be cut off; there will be numbers of refugees to care for-life will not follow its nor nal pattern for any of us. Each communit, no matter how small is unit of the whole Territory and therefore it is fully as impor- tant as any other community, re- gardless of size.

7 rude PoIicy
To Be Topic
|Of Project

The League of Women Voters of
the United States will train its
sights in the next few months on
an all-out campaign to bring
greater understanding of United
States trade policy to the citizens
of this country.
This was announced as the Or
ganization's major project by Mrs,
John G. Lee, national president,
at a press conference yesterday in
the Hotel Statler which concluded
the leagues five-day board meet
ing here.
"The new administration will
have an opportunity to take q
fresh look at our trade policy to
see where it may be improved,
Mrs. Lee said.
"The league believes that it is
extremely important that oul
trade policy be one to encourage
trade rather than one to restric,
it. For that reason we have sup
ported the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements policy and will con-
tinue to do so." she added.
Mrs. Lee said the League will
send out publications to its local
groups in the 48 States and will
encourage discussion meetings to
promote better understanding OF
world trade. =
Mrs. Lee also announced league
plans to hold series of area con-
Iferences throughout the country
next spring on the subject of po-
litical effectiveness. The confer
Iences will consider ways and
means of making the League more
effective politically while preserv-
ing its non-partisan character,
and will also discuss how an in
dividual can make known his
wishes, particularly in the period
between elections.
Also on the League agenda for
the year will be an effort to bring
greater understanding of the
United Nations to citizens in
League communities.
Still in the international area
the board made final plans for
the publication of a booklet on
international economic develop.
ment which will point out the
relationship between that type OF
assistance to underdeveloped coun-
tries and the question of inter-
national trade.
