Home Demonstration
Clubs Hear Helm

During the first 19 days of
March, twenty-four Home Demon
straticn Clubs OF Kent County, with
tot~l membership of $50, have
heard an address at various meet
ings by Harry A. Helm. Kent Coun-
ty Director Of Civil Defense.
The addre at each meeting was
given IN three pha es: the first
phase being what is Civil De-
fense", the second, why We Need
Civil Defense, the third, What
The Women C-r Do In Civil De-
Tense" Following each phase of
the address a moving picture was
shown to give visual aid to the
subject.
Mr.. Helm told the clubs of a
Civic Survey to be made in the
near future and said he hoped the
members would give helping hand
along with other organizations in
making the survey.
The members of the clubs were
told to contact the Local Director
in their area and offer their SER
vices and support in building a
workable CD Organization. In those
areas where there are no Local
Directors the club members were
urged to find out why and then
contact the person or persons re-
sponsible for the survival of the
residents in the particular area and
then assist on the appointment of
a Civil Defense Director
It was also made clear that every
Community needs an Air Raid
Warning System tied in to the
Statewide Plan by which all sirens
can be blown instantly when the
notice of an eminent attack is re-
ceived at the Key Point Station. /"
The cost of these systems will be
betrayed by a Matching Fund
Program" of the Federal Govern
ment which matches 5O%o of the
cest, the Local Government paying
the other 800. Without warning
our training and preparation may
be of littBs or no value.
1.-THE reaction of the club MEM
hers" following each meeting was
very encouraging stated Mr..
Helm as there were many informal
discussions held during the social
h0rr following the meeting.
The current series of Civil De-
tense Programs was arranged for
and directed by Miss Charlotte
Swanson, Home Demonstration
Agent for Kent County.

Light Work for Lovely Hands !!

It's a pretty tight spot there's no question
about that
But it's no work for this lovely lady For
she's at the wheel of 1856 Cadillac-and
here, beyond any question, is the worlds
gentlest resting place for feminine hands.
In fact, even the most difficult Of driving
maneuvers seldom require anything beyond
the merest gesture of hand on the steering
wheel :. and the ightest touch of a toe on
the accelerator.
And this extraordinary ease of handling
IS, to be sure, only one of the great salts

sits IN the drivers seat of new Cadillac

TWO TECHNICAL MEN JOIN
SEASHORE PARK IN DARE

Two technical men were recent
ly adde dto the staff of Cape Hat
teras National Seashore Recrea-
tional Area.
Fred Ley is a native Floridian,
graduating from the University of
Florida in 1851 with degree in
Landscape Architecture. He went
to work for an architectural de-
sign firm in Omaha, Nebraska.
While there, he was detailed to
planning jobs in Seattle, Wash
ington, and on Kodiak Island,
Alaska. He stayed with this firm
until he came to Cape Hatteras,
his first National Park position.
Some readers of this may be
curious as to what landscape
architect does. In private practice
he designs cities and subdivision
plans and the layout and planting
of highways and buildings. In park
work, besides planning, they are
concerned with maintenance and
Identification. Here, one of Fred
Legs main concerns will be beach
erosion and ways to control it.
Edward Nash is the new Park
Engineer, he came here by transfer
from the National Park Service
Recreational at Coulee Dam, Wash
ington, where he was for four
years. Ed Nash attended the Uni
versity of Massachusetts and the
University of New Mexico. Before
coming to the National Park
Service, he worked with the Army
Engineers and the Fish and Wild
life Service. He saw service with
an Engineer Battalion and with a
photo intelligence unit in the Pacif-
ic Theater of World War II. He
has one daughter, Norma Jean
Nash, in the fourth grade in Man
teo.
AS Park Engineer, Mr.. Nash will
supervise all maintenance in Cape
Hatteras National Seashore Rec
reational Area.
