EDITORIAL COMMENT
CIVIL DEFENSE PROGRAM
REQUIRES LOCAL SUPPORT

Preliminary work on a Lexington Civ
il Defense organization has begun. Be-
fore the program can be a successful one,
however, each local citizen must realize
the importance of the project. A public
information program, including a mass
meeting last week at the w. B. Kenna
Auditorium, is underway and designed
to inform area citizens of how the prog
ram works and who is involved.
Recent world developments have
pointed up very wildly the possibility
of a major war. 1t goes without saying
that if such comes, our own country will
be in serious danger of attack. Now is
the time for us to begin preparing for

such a conflict.
To be successful, the Civil Defense
program must have the endorsement and
support of all of Lexington's and Holmes
County's citizens. With any less support
it will fall far short of its goals. Not only
must all citizens understand Just what
the program is attempting to accomplish,
but they must determine that they will
do their respective parts when called up
on.
This is one community project which
must become a success. Our very sur
vival may depend upon its acceptance,
as a matter of fact.
