They should pick some member of the family living In a rural or non-industrial naea as the key person through whom they can keep in touch. “A well-organized registration system is needed to help supply information about persons separated from other members of their families. A call to evacuate a city might come with no time for children to get home from school or fathers from work. There must be some place - for worried parents tc go to find out where their children are; for wives to get information about their husbands, husbands about their wives, and children about parents. We of the American auxiliary believe we can perform a great service by helping the federal civil defense administration to organize such service And to train workers in its operation”. D. C. H.
