TO most Of us HEGEMONY Is
a relatively new and strange
word without o definite mean
ing: yet it has its origin in the
ancient Greek word hegeisthai,
ito lead" The modern meaning
of hegemony is leadership:
dominant authority or influence =
There are three permissible pro-
nunciations:
First choice: HEDGE-uh-
MOE-nee;
Second choice: hi-JEM-uh-
nee;
Third choice: HEE-jee-MOE-
nee.
Most dictionaries show as first
or only choice for the word
SYRINGE. SEAR-inge. How
ever, so widespread has become
the pronunciation suh-RINGE
that the later dictionaries have
sanctioned it as second choice

and planning for relief of the
suffering, hardship, confusion
and chaos that would inevitably
occur if an attack were made
on any of the target cities that
surround Geauga county.
With all the planning a n d
study it is still hard, even for
those in active CD work, to
forsee just what problems will
have to be met and to work
out what seems to be the best
ways to prepare for them Many
problems are obvious and can
be readily visualized; such as.
for example, the complete di-
Suption of all utilities with the
resulting lack of light, water,
heating equipment, food prepar-
alton, and so on; the made
quacy of shelter, clothing,
medical aid, facilities a.. equip
ment; jammed highways, fail
ure of radio and telephone COM
municationS, fire hazards, and
many similar obvious difficult
ties. But there are other COM
plications that are not so eaSi-
ly foreSeen. Test alertS are a
big help in bringing out some
of these less obvious difficult
ties.
Preparing and holding a test
alert takes a great, deal of
time; and most CD workers are
very busy earning their living
and helping with other co m
munity activities. Yet they
have gladly taken whatever
time is necessary to do their
part in test alertS. The pur-
pose of test alertS is not to
give the CD workers an op-
portunity to show off their eff
ficiency and perfection; quite
the opposite, CD workers take
part in test alerts to help them
get a clearer picture of just
what could happen and to
learn how the plans they have
developed need to be improv-
ed.

realize the extent to W h i C
their neighbors and fellow &C.
augans have been and are de-
voting their time to CD efforts.
Nearly 1900 people in our
county are working to insure
the maximum possible protec-
ton and assistance to victims
in the event of an enemy at
tack. Many of these folk have
been working on civil defense
plans and organization prob :
lens. for years and I mean
that literally :, For example, with
but a few changes in person
mel, the primary County Staff
has held regular m ont h | y
meetings since 1851 and also
arranged special meetings with
members of their immediate
staffs.' -
Everyone fervently hope S
there will be no need for the
civil defense organization to
spring into action because of
an enemy attack. Probably CD
workers more than anybody else
hope and pray there will be no
attack because they have a
clearer picture of the terrible
consequences of such an emer-
gency than those who have not
spent many hours in discussion
