HtH Civilian Corps Here Will Get Early Training Frank Sherry, Shearod Crumpler, Chief of Police H. E. Dobbins and Gene Lehman, all of Roanoke Rap ids, returned to the city on Sat urday after undergoing a week’s training at Chapel Hill in the va rious phases of Civilian Defense work, a course sponsored by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The local men were given an insight into what the duties of the Civilian Defense Corps are expect ed to be in the event of an actual air attack on the cities and towns of this section. Included in the courses they studied were the du ties of police, fire departments, air raid wardens, fire bombs, fire ex plosives, war gasses, gas decon tamination, work of bomb squads, blackout regulations and many kindred subjects. In charge of the school was Don S. Hostetter, special agent of the F.B.I., who studied courses in de fense work under two special a gents who spent three months of the past year in England under actual civilian defense service with the London corps, and who then attended a course in chemical warfare at Edgewood Arsenal at rappwnod Md. The course was extensive and arranged for the purpose of giving all defense workers the benefit of actual ex perience gained in London and which could happen here. The local men will select a group of volunteers from the Roa noke Rapids Civilian Defense corps and train them from the know ledge gained at the Chapel Hill course, and these volunteers will in turn pass the information a ■ing to the several hundred work ers who have registered for duty in the local corps. Albert Coates, director of the In stitute of Government at Chapel Hill, opened the training course, and presented his assistant, Mau rice Hill- Ed. Scheidt, in charge of the Charlotte office of the F.B. I., also talked to the 140 workers registered for the course. The Roanoke Rapids men who represented the city at the course plan to consolidate the informa tion they received at the course so that every worker registered with the local Civilian Defense corps will have a knowledge of the duties he or she is supposed to carry out during blackout and air raid tests and, if the time ever comes, curing actual air raids.
