What To Do In An Air Raid Official ? V. S. Office of Civilian Defense 1. KEEP COOL Above all, keep cool. Don't lose your bead. Do not crowd the streets; avoid chaos, preve.nt disorder and ha voc. You can fool the enemy. It is easy. If planes come over, stay ?where you are. Don't phone un necessarily. Do not run ? do not scream. The chance you will be hit' is small. It is part of the risk we MUST take to win this ?war. Until an alarm, go about your usual business and recreation in the ordinary Way. Think TWICE before you do anything. Don't believe rumors ? spreading false rumors is part of the enemy's technique. Don't let> him take you in. Know your air raid warning. In general, it Is short blasts or rising and falling pitch, or whistles or horns. The all clear is a steady tone for two minutes. WATCH THIS PAPER FOR DESCRIP TION OP THE LOCAL SIGNAL. (This is subject to change.) Await OFFICIAL information frpfnrp nny QCtlpn. When the Air Raid Warden comes to your home, do what he tells you. He is for your protection. He is your friend. He will help you do your part to whip the enemy. Wf can do it. We WILL do it, if we stay calm and cool and strong and alert). 2. STAY HOME The safest place in an air raid is at home. If you are away from home, get under cover in the nearest shelter. Avoid crowded places. Stay off the streets. The enemy wants you to run out- into the streets, create a mob, start a panic. DON'T DO IT! If incendiary bomb falls, play a SPRAY from a garden hose (never a splash or stream) of wa ter on the bomb. Switch to a stream to put out any fire started by (-he bomb. Switch back to a spray for the bomb. The bomb will burn for about 15 minutes il left alone, only about two minu tes under a fine water spray. A JET. SPLASH, STREAM OR BUCKET OF WATER WILL MAKE IT EXPLODE. Under raid conditions, keep a bathtub and buckets full of watei for t>he use of the fire department in case water mains are broken. If you have a soda-and-acid ex tlnguisher (the kind you turn upside down), use it with your Anger over the nozzle to make a spray. Don't use the chemical kind (small cylinders of liquid) on bombs. It is all right for or dinary fires. Should gas be used, go at once to the most "inside" room in your house (fewest doors and win dows). Paste paper over glass. Stuff rags in window cracks and under doors. But above all, keep cool, stay home. Choose one member of the family to be the home air raid warden ? who will remember all the rules and what to do. Mother makes the best'. 3. PUT OUT LIGHTS Whether or not blackout Is or dered, don't show more light than is neccesBary. If panes come ov er, put out all lights at once ? don't wait for the blackout order. The light that's out will never guide a Jap. Remember a candle light may be seen for miles from the air. If you have portiers, overdrap es, or curtains, arrange a double thickness over your windows. Blankets will do. If you have heavy black paper, paste It on your windows. Don't crowd or stampede stores to get it, how ever. You probably have every thing you need at home. Be in genious ? improvise. Should you get a, air-raid warn ing, remember to shut off gas stoves, gas Turnaces, and gas pilot " rights oti BOtft. ? Buuib explosions, may blow them out from blast ef fect. Gas that collects may be explosive later. Prepare one room, the one with' the least window-glass, In the strongest part of your house, for a refuge room. Put food and drinking water in It. Put a stur dy table in it. Put mattresses and chairs In It. Take a maga zine or two. and a deck of cards, into it. Take toilet facilities, paper, a screen. If you have a portable radio, take that too. Above all. .KEEP CALM. STAY AT HOME. PUT OUT LIGHTS. I.IK DOWN If boihbs start to fall near you. lie down. You will feel the blast ' least that way. escape fragments | und splinters. The safest place is under a J good stout table ? the stronger ' the legs the better. 1 A mattress under a table com ' bines comfort and safety. The enemy may use explosive ? bombs or incendiary bombs, or ' both. If incendiaries are used. 1 it'i more important to deal with them than to be safe from blast. 1 So defeat the incendiary with a ? SPRAY (never a splash or tream) : of water, then go back to aafety under a table in a refuge room. Unless gas is used, raid will Leggett's. I OUTSTANDING SHOE VALUES Tom Terry Shoes ? SJ.69 Tan.

See Them Now "Leggett's Leads in Loniibnrg" likely be over IN YOUR IMME DIATE NEIGHBORHOOD In a short) time. However, stay under cover till the "all clear" is soun ded. Know your raidalarms. Know the "all elear." Official news of these will come to you from your Air Raid Warden. Don't believe rumors. Watch this paper for Air Raid alarm description. Ask the warden when be comes. Should your house be hit, keep cool. Answer tappings from res cue crews if you are trapped. (You most' likely won't be either hit or rapped, but it you are, you can depend on rescue squads to go after you.) Again ? keep cool, and wait. Don't yell after you hear them coming to you, unless they tell you to. KEEP COOL! Just keeping cool hurts t>he en emy more than anything else you can do. KEEP CALM. STAY AT HOME. PUT OUT LIGHTS. LIE DOWN. 5. STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS Glass shatters easily, so stay away from windows. Don't go to windows and look out, in a air raid. It is a dan gerous thing, and helps the ene my. The air raid wardep is outi there watching for you. Again we say, get off the streets If pJanes come <over. At nigtrt. there is .danger of be ing caught in blast from explos ives. Anti-aircraft Are means falling nhnitpnnl Vnn arp anfp frnm Iti indoors, away from windows. It's more Important to shell a plane ithan it is to see it from a win dow. Stay in your refuge room, away ^rom windows. That is the saf est place. Go there at' the first alarm, stay there until the all jclear. I Above all. KEEP CALM. STAY "HOME. PUT OUT LIGHTS. LIE DOWN. Stay away from windows. Do not say ? we are repeating; we would rather re peat until we bore you than have you forget-. You can do all these things without any special equipment, other than what you have now in your home. You can help lick the Japs, with your bare hands, if you will do Just those "few, simple things. ; Be a good fellow and follow : instructions and keep well. Do not be a wise guy and get : hurt. 0. YOU CAN HELP Strong, capable, calm people are needed to man the volunteer services. If you want to help, there are lots of opportunities. If you know first aid, and have a certificate, there is an immedi ate job for you. If you are a vet eran, or a former volunteer or regular fleman, or policeman, there is work for you. If you have no special skills but are strong and husky, there is a Job for you in rescue squads, road repair units, or demolition and clearance squads. If you have and can drivtfa car, you may be needed for drivers' corps. Older boy and girl scouts over 15 can help as messengers. Both men and women are needed. Here's how to get started: j If there's a Civilian Defense [Volunteer Office in your commu nity, call there and ask where to report. If not, call your local i Defense Council or Committee,, or the Chamber of Commerce. Phone and ask where to report, rather than going in person. There are people needed for? r ' Air Raid Wardens (men and . | Auxiliary Firemen, (men). Auxiliary Police (men and wo-: ? men). - Firft, Watchers (men and wo mfen). Nurles' Aides (trained women). Emergency Medical Forces (men and women with Red Cross First Aid Certificates). Rescue Squads (men). Road Repair Units (strong, husky men). Demolition and Clearance Squads (strong, husky men). Electrical Repair Units (train ed electricians). Gas Decontamination Squads (strong men and women). Emergency Food and Housing Units (women who can cook and serve). Above all. KEEP COOL. STAY HOME. PUT OUT LIGHTS. LIE DOWN. STAY AWAY FROM WIDOWS. YOU CAN HELP! F. H. LAGUARDIA, U. S. Director Civilian Defense. o? ? ? PERRY INFANT PASSES During the early morning hours of December 31, the Bplrit of Ben Laurice Perry, infant* son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Perry, Jr. took its flight from earth to Heaven. In God's garden He needed this young, tender flower to add more brightness there. His going Itaves an empty spot in t'he hearts of those who loved him. We shall miss him; we feel that we need him very much, but we real ize tbat God needed him too. We treasure the memory of the few short' weeks he was loaned to us. Baby Perry was born December 8, 1941, and had spent most of his short span of life as a patient at Park View Hospital, Rocky Mount. Funeral services were conduct ed Thursday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock from the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Shearin, by Rev. F. H. Scofleld. Burial followed in Cy press Chapel Church cemetery. The floral tribute was especially large and beautiful. Besides his parents he is sur vived by paternal ? grnnrtp?roptffi Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Perry, Sr., Loulsburg; maternal grandpar ents, Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Turnage, Louisburg, Route 4; two great grandmothers, Mrs. J. G. Green, Zebulon; Mrs. R. R. Strickland, Spring Hope; and a host of other relatdves. All indications point to a de cided increase in the production of poultry products In Wake County during 1942, says J. C.

The State De-' partment of Revenue has<issued retail beer licenses to 31 outlets in Franklin County. Figures compiled by the Brew ers and North Carolina Beer Dis tributors Committee, as of Decem ber 31r disclosed that 4,822 retail outlets have been licensed by the stiate for tbe 1941-42 fiscal year. It is probable that the number will reach 5,000 before the tax year (for beer licenses) ends April 30. Mecklenburg county with 336 retail outlets easily tops Guilford county's 261, followed by Forsyt'h with 189, Wake 185,! New Han over, 171, Buncombe 162, Dur ham 167 and Cumberland 147. In addition to the retail outlets, the state ha^Jjcensed 111 establ iBhments to sell beer at whole sale. These 4,933 places employ 13,266 persons with ail annual payroll of $11,516,400, according to figures compiled by the com mittee. They pay more than $160,000 annually In license taxes to the state and local units.< In all, the beer industry pays almost $5, 000,000 in taxes a year in North Carolina ? about 42 per cent of which goes to the state treasury. o The seasonal low point in farm marketings of eggs has passed, and with favorable weather, pro duct'ion will increase until next April, reports the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics. 0 About two days after a woman says she can't afford a new dress she goes down town and buys a new dress. ^ a FOR 1942 D2 With These Resolutions ?
