Mrs. Suiter done i ; i S ic 1 a ! devoted long hard hours to this work and at times it has required ; a great deal of patience and per. i \. ie ..e to carry on the work. As Commander of the local unit of . ( ivilian Defense. I wish to public ly thunk her and express our np , predation for her fine and patri I otic contribution to the war effort. ! Also i wish to thank all who have assisiod and served when ’ailed j for this duty. We have found it impossible to secure the services | of any one person who won] 1 be willing to take over the work for | an indefinite period. i vas decided, at this meeting to appoint a committee to ncivass the available control operators in the town ami make up a four weeks schedule. This committee consists of llte following: D. K. -Viedlin. District Air Haul Warning Officer, K. li. Clark, (ommai !-r of the local defense unit and Dave -Suiter. t'i::el' Air Raid Wal den of Weldon. You v. ill he called upon by these men and you will be expected to sem one 4 hour watch each 28 day.-. When the courts call a man for jury duty he has to present a very sound and reasonable excuse to ye’ off. Heiny busy does riot excuse him; the judge says these are the kind of people he needs. When Uncle Sam calls the hoy.- to go to the battle front, the only excuse lie will accept is physical unfitness. What you are going to be a ked to do is simply your patriotic duty, therefore when you are ap proached by a member of this, committee, accept your assign ment willingly. When you accept an assignment, you will be ex pected to fill it or either get some one else to take your place. In this event, call Mrs. Fierce John son, who will have charge of the registry for the next two m nths and inform her of the change be ing made. This work is going to be car ried on until the Army orders it discontinued. Therefore I am ask ing that you assist us wholeheart edly and do your part willingly and cheerfully. F. 11.
