CiGl Defense
Rudyard Forms
Observer Post
By IT. GERALDINE B.
MASINTER

UNDER THE sponsorship of the
Rudyard VFW Post No. 5726, an
other link has been added to the
growing chain of ground observer
posts in Montana Approximately 20
members of this WV post volun-
teered for service. John c. Phillips
is supervisor.
Capt. Ellis Melton Jr., command
ing officer of the Helena filter CEN
ter, explained the function of the
air defense system to members of
the Rudyard post at a recent meet
ing.
In planning the defense Of our
country, the air force considered po-
tential enemies and plotted the most
direct routes from their bomber
bases to our industrial centers.
A chain of radar stations around
the United States has been set up
to warn of such attacks and facili-
tate interception and destruction Of
enemy aircraft.
However, as remarkable as radar
is, certain mechanical characteristics
place limitations on its ability to pro-
vide an infallible aircraft detection
system. It can not ''see" low-flying
aircraft, count the number of planes
in a formation or identify the type
of aircraft. It can not tell if the plane
is dropping propaganda leaflets, per-
sonnet or bombs. It can not see
around mountains and to place a set
on every mountain would be finan-
cially impracticable.
Thus, the ground observer corps.
Civilian volunteers are needed to
act as observers and to man filter
centers, where reports from OBJ
servers are received by telephone
evaluated and transmitted to the all
force to supplement information re-
ceived from radar installations.
Your help is needed for air de-
Tense. Do as your neighbors in Rud-
yard are doing; form a ground OBJ
server post in your community.
For additional information, con
tact your local civil defense office
or write to Defense" 29th Air Di.

willingness to go along with the

ceptance, however, the firemen
agreed that installation should be

companies had agreed on the pro-
ject. The members also suggested
that the certificate be amended to
allow for this provision.

More Money Needed
By The Red Cross
Hurricane Disaster Make Extra
Fund Solicitation Necessary

Because of the devastating hur-
ricane that brought such tremen-
dous damage in six mid-western
states last week, the Red Cross
has asked for additional help to
cary assistance to those unfOrtun-
ate people who have been left
without homes and all needed COM
forts. The Red Cross was on the
job Immediately, giving succor to
those so badly in need of it, and
the funds for such will make a
heavy drain thereon. The Delaware
Chapter has been assessed $4,000
extra, making it's quota $303,000.
Milford will have a share in this
added sum. The campaign now be-
ing carried on in all areas will
shortly be Terminated and those
who have not yet contributed are
urged to do so. giving more than
they had intended and those who
have made their contribution are
asked if they will not help a little
more. The work of this organiza-
ton is needed in so many places
and the money. always wisely
spent, is needed for this work. Mr..
Wallace McFaul, chairman of the
local area, will gratefully accept
added contributions.

The figures show cOnclusively,
Mr.. Cobb said, that there is room
for a wide expansion of the plan
Of savings bonds purchase by pay
roll savings among smaller firms,
most Of which do not use the plan,
and also room for increasing the
number of actual buying employees
in the big firms which use the plan.
Mr.. Cobb found that while the
response to telephone Inquiries in
the Wilmington area resulted in
more than so per cent response,
questiOnaires mailed to firms in
Kent and Sussex Counties resulted
in little more than 30 per cent
response.
Mr.. Cobb interviewed 756 firms
in the Wilmington area, and re-
ceived response from 616, or S1.5
per cent. OF the total responding
164 firms with 81, 100 employees used
the payroll method of purchase OF

While the response by the shop

of the local merchants are finding

that a sales fete on quarterly ba-
