Home Defense Bulletin

From Marion county and Indianapolis offices of civilian defense, Worl War Memorial, 431 N. Meridian st.

Before ever a bomb drops in Marion county, forces of volunteers, known as “bomb squads,” are being trained to handle any damage these messengers of death from the skies may bring.

Wherever a bomb drops, it is a signal for these guardians of your safety to go into action. It may be well for you to volunteer for some of this training, rather than to leave the job to somebody else.
