CD CHECKLIST
FOR SCHOOLS
Outline Plan For Rating
Schools on Civil Defense
Preparedness
IMPORTANCE STRESSED

A plan for rating Delaware
schools on their Civil Defense pre-
paredness with merit certificates
to be awarded annually to the toI
rated schools was outlined thi:
week by DR.. George R. Miller
superintendent of public instruc.
ton and chief of the state Civil
Defense school division.
Every public, private and par.
ochial school in the state, he said
will be rated semi-annually, in the
spring and fall on the basis of a
detailed checklist covering the
schools Civil Defense organiza-
ton, activities, equipment and
student training for an emer-
gency.
Schools averaging over 95
points in the two surveys will be
awarded Certificates of Merit at
the terms end. Those earning be-
tween 80 and 95 points will re-
ceive Certificates of Preparedness.
Copies of the rating checklist
have been sent to all school ad-
ministrators, DR.. Miller said. The
first rating will be completed by
october 81 and the second next
April 80. In each case, school
officials will fill out the checklist
forms and return them to the De-
partment of Public Instruction
which will evaluate them and
make the awards.
The plan was worked out by
DR.. Miller in cooperation with ID.
Preston Lee, state Civil Defense
director, who called it, "an effort
to stimulate Civil Defense think
ing and practice in the schools
and at the same time give us an
overall picture of the effectiveness
of school preparations"
Stressing the importance of de-
fense planning in the schools, Mr..
Lee pointed out that in the con-
fusion following an enemy air at
tack "every school will be a self
contained community, cut off for
a time from the community at
large and dependent on its own
resources. 1t must have a Civil
Defense organization complete
with fire-fighting, first-aid, ward
en- units and shelter areas. Every
staff member and student must
know his job"
The checklist for rating schools
Smyrna times., 1955-10-27

covers 29 points, touching every
phase of defense preparations.
Divided into four sections, it re-
quires yes or mo- checks on such
questions as: whether the school
has a Civil Defense plan, director,
staff; emergency fire. warden,
health units; cooperates with the
community and state Civil De-
Tense officials; informs parents of
its emergency plans; inspects
equipment and keeps up-to-date
inventory; drills teachers and stu
dents in their emergency roles;
instructs students in the effects
Of atomic weapons; trains teach
ers and students in alert warn
ings, taking shelter, first-aid and
other self-protection measures.

Asphalt roofing gets its name
from the best waterproofing agent
known to man. The waterprooing
quality which keeps roofs water
tight also can be used to keep
dampnesS from rotting the base Of
wood posts.
When post is to rest on con-
crete, masonry, or other wood, a
piece of asphalt roofing can be
cemented to the bottom of the
post before putting the post in
place. This keeps water from en-
tering the porous end grain of the
wood.
The same waterproofing quality
explains why asphalt roll roofing
is often laid on the ground be-
meath crawl spaces. The roofing
prevents moisture from rising
from the ground into the house,
eliminating condensation.

APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH
Warning to Delaware Motorists
and Pedestrians

Warning to Delaware Motorists
and Pedestrians
"As the sun signs Off with a
brilliant flourish at the end of the
day, we feel sudden drop in our
spirits. we are tired, irritable,
anxious" Mr.. Francis ], Jamison,
assistant manager of the Della
ware Safety Council issued that
warning to Delaware motorists
and pedestrians this week. 'The
way home seems long, traffic
seems to creep, our senses are
hazy. Not only does the motorist
experience this impatience and
tension, but the pedestrian does
too as he scrambles in and out of
traffic in a mad rush to get home.
strangely enough, facts bear
this out too. More traffic casual
ties occur between the hours of
four and eight o'clock in the ev-
ening than any other period dur
ing the day or night. According
to the National Safety Council,
more than one-fourth of all fatal
traffic accidents occur between the
hours of 400 and 1859 pm.
Nov what is there peculiar to
the spon of time between four and
eight o'clock in the evening which |
makes this period particularly |
lethal to motorist and pedestrian |
alike?
''For one thing" he said "there
is heavier traffic, both cars and
notwithstanding home from
work, rushing out for the evening.
SO we have the deadly combina-
tion: congestion, speed, and heed
lessness.
ITO this pattern of danger we
must add the hazards of night it.

twist and turn, changing the per-
spective of things and dimming
our vision. 1t is then that our

tion, should be increased. So Of

many men, women, and children
.eep each evening between the
ours of four and eight ?" asked
fr. Jamison.
"Shall we call in the know

ers, scientists-to help us cancel

decision concerning commercial
airline operations from Seattle
to Honolulu because he became
convinced his first ruling was
erroneous.
He originally had decided to
cancel a Northwest Airlines route
despite a Civil Aeronautics Board
recommendation that North

Pan American World Airways
route be Cancelled. After looking
more thoroughly into the matter
and discussing 1t with CAB off,

Eisenhower Refers
School Plan Critics
To Size Of j. 5. Debt
By Robert K. Welsh

President Eisenhower said to-
day that critics who believe his
81 billion school construction
program is inadequate should
consider the size Of the national
debt.
The President opened his news
conference by emphasizing the
Importance of the plan he sub
mitted to Congress yesterday.
This called for an emergency
program to promote building Of
new schools with the aid of Fed
eral loans and grants of $1.1
billion over three-year period.
Reporters asked for comment
on criticism by Democratic Sen
ators Hill of Alabama and Glenn
ents of Kentucky and others
that the program did not go far
enough and would load hard
pressed States and communities
with more debt.
The President replied by ask
ing whether the critics men,
toned the national debt.
Plans Georgia Trip.
He remarked later he was sure
there would always be critics.
This was in response to a queS-
ton whether he thought the
school building proposal would
offset earlier criticism that his
administration seemed more in
terested in a vast highway con-
struction program than in pro-
viding for more schools.
At the outset of the confer
ence the President made two an
nouncements. One he described
as mainly of interest to him:
He hoped to leave tomorrow
afternoon for brief visit to the
farm of Secretary of the Treas
ury Humphrey near Thomas
vile, Ga. He visited that farm
last February for week end of
quail shooting.
The other announcement.
which the President described as
affecting everyone in the United
States, dealt with the need for
more schools and the program
he hopes Congress will authorize
In accordance with his message.
Says u. S. Must Not Encroach.
AS in his message to Congress,
he emphasized that the Federal
Government can and should give
leadership and assistance where
the need clearly exists. But he
insisted that \the Federal Gov
ernment should not encroach on
the rights and responsibilities of
the States and localities in their
primary task of providing the
kind of education essential to
performance of the duties Of
citizenship.
In his reference to size Of the
Federal debt, which the Treas
ury today estimated at $278.4

billion. the President made clear
he was not proposing any pro-
gram that would unduly burden
States and local communities.
He said his basic objective was
to maintain the greatest possible
balance in such relationships
and cooperative efforts between
Federal and State governments:
Otherwise. he said, this coun-
try would be working away from
its constitutional and tradi-
tional system OF government.
He warned also that as soon as
the Federal Government starts
spending money on a large scale
In any undertaking with States
and local communities 1t raises
the possible cry of Federal con-
troll or undue interference.
