U. S. Must Build Civil Defense RURAL AMERICA HAS IMPORTANT PART IN PROTECTING HOME FRONT (This is the second of a series of articles on civil defense, bated on the booklet “This I: Civil Defense" prepared by the Federal Civil Defense Administration. It may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C-, for ten cents.) . —— By MILLARD CALDWELL Federal Civil Defense Administrator Even if forewarned of war, our armed forces canMaM not prevent attack, for there is no sure way of keepyvVj ing enemy planes from getting through our defenses. The enemy’s first objective would be to upset the war efforts of the civilian population, as well as to destroy property and to kill and injure people. His aim would be to make you quit, leave your jobs, desert your homes and start panic among you. Panic can take a tremendous toll of lives. It also can bring production to a stand-stilL

It is the task of the civil defensei to organize and train millions of Americans so that each one will be prepared to render the best protective service at the moment it is needed. Your aim should be to accept that training so that you will know how to rescue the trapped and injured, know how to work with volunteer fire-fighting units, know how to prevent panic and know how to perform any of the specific duties of civil defense, particularly those you have indicated, in your training, that you are best qualified to do. There are ways to save thousands of people from the effects of blast, radioactivity and heat from the atomic bomb. There are ways to take shelter, to rescue the trapped and injured, and ways to cut fire loses to a minimum. Organized civil defense can do those things. The atomic bomb is too expensive to use purposely on a farm community. However, this relative freedom from attack only adds to the responsibility of the people who live in such areas. Civilians away from the target area will be better able, mentally and physically, to cope with situations of disaster. Farm People Equipped With cars, trucks and tractors available, farm people are well equipped to aid any stricken area within their reach. Mobile support, rescue and evacuation work are phases of civil defense that rural folk are especially qualified to do. To do any of them without confusion and delay, you must be organized and trained.

It is imperative that farm families learn about biological warfare and how to watch for it. While you are protecting your family and your livestock from infections and your crops from infestations, you are cooperating with the civil defense program. There are ways of keeping disease from spreading, and of protecting our food and water supplies. Civil defense, working with existing health agencies and physicians, attends to that job. We should be prepared to cope with poison gases. And we can be, for there are good defenses against them. There are ways of sharply reducing loses from gas attacks, and civil defense provides the best answers. Civil defense services are organized to bring in help from outside, and to get a stricken city back into working order in the shortest possible time. It provides food, shelter and medical care for victims of attack. Defense Takes Planning Civil defense takes planning, organization, and a lot of hard work. There are jobs for you. Find out where you can serve your family, your community and yourself the best. Then volunteer for the work you are best suited to do. Civil defense cannot protect every life and every home, but it will save thousands of lives—maybe your life or the life of someone dear to you. (The next article will discuss what would happen if an A-bomb fell on your city without civil defense.)

BROODER HOUSE BURNS NORTH OF SYRACUSE A chicken brooder and quonset barn, attached to the brooder, were totally destroyed by fire late Friday night at the Ellis Eby farm located two miles north of Syracuse in Benton township, Elkhart county. It marked the third time that sets of buildings at the Eby time have been destroyed by fire. Lost in the blaze were 800 chickens and a large quantity of hay. The Syracuse and Benton township fire departments fought the blaze, which started shortly before midnight, and managed to prevent flames from spreading to nearby buildings containing hay and poultry.. The Syracuse firemen were there until 2:30 a| m| Saturday, and Benton firemen stayed even longer to prevent further outbreak. STIFF? Never!

THE WAWASEE ROAD (An Editorial.) The action of the Kosciusko county commissioners in turning down the petition of Turkey Creek township citizens asking for a one-mile road across the Johnson Bay area, was expected. The enormous amount of bad publicity given the proposed road by the Warsaw newspaper and radio station in Warsaw trading area, made any other decision unlikely. Since a large number of the county voters reside in Warsaw and Wayne township, their influence is felt more directly by court house office holders, than is the “influence” of voters up here in the north end of the county. By a constant stream of misinformation, ridicule and lies, the Warsaw people were led to believe that the project here would cost sis‘o,o'o'o, and would probably slide back into the lake a year after being built. It was alleged by the Warsaw paper and radio that someone up here was going to get rich bn this “development.” No individual familiar with the situation here could give that idea the least consideration. In more than 25 years of publishing a newspaper, we have never before seen a more vicious, , misleading campaign than that conducted by the Warsaw paper against this one mile road. The newspaper at no time gave any consideration to the work of the Turkey Creek township people in their honest attempt to get a fair hearing. The paper even refused to print a signed article giving some of the benefits of the road to the people of the county. That the people of Turkey Creek township, and the business men of Syracuse are dissatisfied and disappointed in the attitude of the commissioners, is putting it mildly. We have seen this same thing happen before —- north end citizens are given the run-around time and time again in the county court house. You don t have to be overly bright to know that if the county commissioners had really wanted the road built, that it could have been done. The only good thing that can result from this action is that it brings right out into the open the true attitude of the Warsaw politicians. The only thing they want out of Turkey Creek township is taxes and votes. * We Went Deer Hunting! Roscoe Howard and Editor J. Barton Cox recently spent a week in the Black Hills area of South Dakota on a deer hunting trip. We returned without any visible results, but experienced one of the most delightful trips we have ever taken anywhere. « We spent most of the time on the ranch of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Barry, in the Black Hills. Western hospitality was experiencedi there, such as we never saw before. A number of western towns have slogans which read, “Hello Stranger, Goodbye Friend” and that is the way our visit in the Black Hills turned out. The people in this area say they have ‘the richest 100 square miles in the world’. They have gold mines (the largest in America), cattle, sheep, many minerals, uranium, some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, and last but not least they possess a friendliness that cannot be duplicated anywhere. The altitude there is near One mile high, with peaks that run up to near 2000 feet. While we were there we had below zero weather, snow and high winds, all of which did not help us in hunting deer. We learned some things about deer hunting, cattle, sheep, horses, gold mining, and nice people that made it a most enjoyable trip. For Merchants Only! Part of a newspaper’s job is to help local merchants compete successfully with the stores in nearby major markets. The more cooperation a newspaper receives from the local merchants, the better job it can do. A newspaper absolutely cannot serve a community without advertising support. If 100 live merchants carry 100 live messages each w’eek to the people of the community (instead of 50 such merchants) the “pull” of the combined advertising is greatly increased. One family comes to town for one group of specials, but perhaps visits one or two other stores. Another family comes to town for other special buys—but also shops around. Every store will pull a few to town—and the whole event really adds up to something big. When only a few stores carry the load, the effect is much reduced. Your home newspaper — The Journal — needs your cooperation, Mr. Merchant, in carrying an advertising message EVERY week, to the people of this communlyt. James Franklin started the New England Courant in 1721 in Boston.

Ann Arbor, Mich. Containing 1,300 square feet of floor space (a useful figure in computing local building costs), this house is of frame construction with a roof of fire-resistant asphalt shingles for ease of maintenance and long, economical service. A breakfast alcove, snack bar and ample cabinet space are features of the convenient kitchen. Sturdy hardwood plywood is suggested for the “built-ins” -because of its strength, permanence and cost economy as well as the attractiveness of its easily-main-tained hardwood veneer surfaces. Open planning of the living room, reception hall and dining room gives spaciousness to the living area and serves to separate the work center from the threebedroom unit. The bedrooms have

WAWASEE LAKE Vicinity Yacht Club. — Guests of the Raymond Dudderar’s at the week end were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Roderick and Mrs. Mabie Roderick of LaGrange, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. Glen Roderick, Jimmy and Shea, of Kendallville; and Mrs. Lucile Roderick of Ligonier. When the Dudderar’s first came to Indiana after the war, houses were especially hard to find. When Mr. Dudderar went about his business with Weatherhead at Angola, Mrs. Dudderar was knocking on doors, asking if any one knew of a place to live, and happened on to Mrs. Mabie Roderick, who took them in and thereby they all become good friends.
