cooperation shown by the visiting
teachers, parents and children.
Despite the invasion which total
ed 423 children, and 1876 adults
there was no damage of any kind
done to the grounds or building
which speaks well for the plan
ming done at the Takoma Park
end of the affair.
On hand to watch the proceed
ing were quite a group of prom
inent local and county leaders.
In addition to Mr. Hilliard, Ad-
miral HartWig, Mr.. Gladhill and
the Damascus workers already
mentioned we saw Mrs. Helen
Scharf of the School Board, Jer-
ry Williams of the County Coun-
ell, Assistant county CD officer
Conway Hunt, Takoma Park po-
lice chief c. E. Thomas, County
Police Chief McAuliffe, County
Fire Marshall Charles Howe,
Board of Education Representa-
tive for CD John r. Childs, Lay
louisville CD officer Henry Per
ry and a host of other interested
people.
Also on hand with his well
equipped CD truck was volunteer
worker William Stanton of the
Holly Hill Ground Observer
Corps post on Hawkins Cream
cry Road.
Damascus was chosen as a re-
ceiving center for two reasons:
II it was beyond the 20 mile area
from ground zero and y the
Damascus CD Officer had offer
ed Damascus as a site.
Incidents of the drill will be
studied carefully by both local
and county officers as will films
taken by Roscoe Purdum for inn
provements to be made in future
drills.
Mr.. Gladhill said he felt that
the next time such a drill was
tried some agency such as the
Red Cross should attempt some
sort of feeding and that over
night lodging of some kind
should be provided. He also of
fered the services of the Damas-
Gus group in the future in any
way. Mr.. Gladhill also wished
the column to mention in partic-
ular the splendid help given by
the county police and the local
high school principal in the test.
