Harry A. Helm Addresses "a
Home Demonstration Clubs
During March
SHOW FILMS

During the first nineteen days
of March twenty-four Home DEM
onstration Clubs of Kent County,
with a total membership of $50,
have heard an address at various
meetings by Harry A. Helm, Kent
County Director of Civil Defense.
The address at each meeting was
given in three phases; the first
phase being, what Is Civil De-
fense," the second, "Why Do We
need Civil Defense" the third,
what Women Can DO in Civil
Defense" 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 loc-
al organizations in making the
survey. The members of the clubs
were told to contact the local di-
rector in their area and offer their
services 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 per-
sons responsible for the survival
of the residents in tse particular
area and then insist on the ap-
pointment of Civil Defense Di-
rector. 1t 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 received at the key
poit station. The cost of these
systems will be betrayed by a
matching fund program of the
federal government which matches
so percent of the cost, the local
government paying the other so
percent. Without warning our
training and preparation may be
of little or no value. "The reaction
of the club members was very
encouraging" stated Mr.. Helm as
there were many informal discus
sions held during the social hour
which followed the meetings. The
current series OF Civil Defense
programs was arranged for and
directed by Miss Charlotte l..
Swanson, Home Demonstration
Agent for Kent County.

RELEASE CIVIL
DEFENSE FILM
"Rehearse for Dis a S t e ~
Ready for Circulation in
State CD Head Announces
TRUCKS IN ACTION

A Civil Defense film, "Rehears-
al for Disaster" dramatizing the
role of this country's 100000
trucks in a national emergency, is
ready for circulation in Delaware,
d. Preston Lee, state Civil De-
tense director, announced this
week. A scene in the movie, de-
picting a long caravan of trucks
bringing supplies to a stricken
area, was filmed at the Delaware
River Memorial Bridge, Mr.. Lee
pointed out. That site was picked
for the scene because trucks
which use the bridge in great
numbers, could be assembled
quickly there. Bridge officials, the
state Civil Defense, the state po-
lice and the Delaware Motor
Transport Association cooperated
in setting up the scene. The movie
was produced by the American
Trucking Associations and the
federal Civil Defense Administra-
tion. 1t shows how the trucking
industry can be organized quickly
to provide fast, flexible transpor-
tation in a nationwide crisis,
hauling refugees and supplies and
cooperating with other forms of
transportation.
The film was directed by Mich
olas Webster, recent winner of an
international award for his work
in documentary movies. 1t is be-
ing distributed by Civil Defense.
Rehearsal for Disaster" was
filmed in a number of states, some
of the sequences in the midst of
Hurricane Hazel, the ravaging
storm of 1855.
The film will be available for
showings before civic, business and
fraternal organizations, educa-
tional groups and on television.
Prints are available either at your
county Civil Defense office, the
State Civil Defense headquarters
at Delaware City, or the Delaware
Motor Transport Association. Re-
quests to the latter should be ad-
dressed to Fred j. Sievers, gener-
al manager, Box 161, Dover.

CAP READINESS
TEST SUCCESS
Kent Senior Squadron Con-
duets Airlift of Essential
Personnel and Puppies
VIEWED BY OFFICIALS

On Sunday the Kent Senior
Squadron, Civil Air Patrol, enact
ed an operation readiness test to
simulate an actual airlift of es-
sential personnel and supplies
during an emergency. The prob
lem assumed that all roads in the
Smyrna, Kenton and Dover area
were destroyed and personnel such
as doctors, nurses, civil officials
were needed to care for sick and
wounded. Medicine was needed as
supplies were short. Using Smyr-
ma Airport as base of operations
cadet personnel were flown from
Smyrna to Kenton to Dover and
from there returned to base Of
operations. There were thirty
senior and cadet members parti-
in a total of twenty
sorties. All flights
were at one thousand foot levels,
with compass readings. Five air.
planes were used, plus three mo-
bile radios and two fixed stations.
Communications were maintained
the entire mission,
which was given a vote of thanks
from visiting officials from Wing
in Wilmington,
ready to assist in any way that
may have been decided. One flight
was dispatched from Summit
Bridge to Dover with medical sup
plies. The mission was a success
from all standpoints, proving one
more way that civilian volunteers
are keeping prepared to defend
our country and communities dur
ing an emergency.

TRUCKING HEAD
CLUB SPEAKER
Fred ]. Sievers Tells Club In
dustry is Aware of Its
Safety Responsibility
HEAR EASTER MESSAGE

A varied program was present
ed at the meeting of the Twen-
tieth Century Club on Thursday
afternoon, including an art exhib-
it, an Easter message by the Rev,
r. Sydney Bancroft, rector of st.
Peters Church, and talk on
safety by Fred ]. Sievers, general
manager, Delaware Motor Trans
port Association. Mrs. Joseph w.
Ennis presented both speakers.
Mr.. Sievers emphasized that the
trucking industry is acutely aware
of its safety responsibility in
sharing the highway with other
users and is making every effort
to improve its already fine record.
THE industry" said Mr.. Sievers,
expects top performances and
gets them; the incompetents don't
last long, for when a truck oper-
ator puts a piece of equipment
on the highway he frequently has
up to $4,000 at stake" The pro-
fessional driver, he continued, is
proud of this responsibility, and
his greatest assets are that he
has learned to drive defensively
and has established good driving
habits. He anticipates trouble be-
fore it happens, he concluded. A
showing of the Walt Disney film,
Motor Mania, concluded that part
of the program. 1t is satire on
our most common driving and
pedestrian faults. Mr.. Bancroft
told of the group of women at
the Crucifixion who provided wine
and an opiate for those condemn
ed to die, having in mind the
motive of compassion and the pur-
pose of relief of suffering. said
that women's groups today have
such purpose. He said that the
relief of suffering is a sacrifice,
"a dying to ourselves for the sake
of the renewal of life," interpreted
to mean the death of prejudice,
self-centeredness, of happiness, by
sacrificing selfish interests into the
richness of glorious experience.
Mrs, Harold E. Wickham presided.
The local club will hold a silver
tea on April "a at Greybox, home
Of Mrs. G. L. Haromnson. The
annual club luncheon will be held
on Friday, April 13, with all club
presidents in the state as guests.
Mrs. o. c. Jones headed the COM
mittee of hostesses. Mrs w. G..
Roe, Jr. and Mrs. Martin Golden
were in charge of the art exhibit.

Services by the Red Cross

In case of disaster, such as a
serious fire, it is natural to turn
to the Red Cross for aid, and the
Red Cross comes forward at once
to assist. This is only one off
many services given by the Red
Cross. The support of the public
is asked during the current month
when the annual drive for men,
berships is being conducted. Those
in this area who wish TO con-
tribute may do so at the Office
of Louise Denney Clifton, Della
