Kivil Defense
Discussed by
( County Board
Khapel Hill and the coun
■ at large would be swamp
■ with refugees if an
Homk or hydrogen bomb
Kould be released over
Eurham or Raleigh, say Civil
DBfense authorities.
■ The job of preparing for
Hhese thousands of refugees
Knd the caring for them with
■he necessary medical sup-
Kies, food, clothing, and
Shelter would be the job of
■he Orange county Civil
Defense organization, at
■present developing very
■slowly under the tireless
I efforts of W. G. Wienn,
[ county Civil Defense direc-
I tor, who has been receiving
I “very poor” cooperation
I from people throughout the
I county.
j In truth, Orange county’s
Civil Defense is far from
being prepared for the ef
fects of such an attack. How
ever, the Red Cross in
Chapel Hill and throughout
the county has a plan or
plans for just such an emer
gency, but that organization
isn’t free to put any of these
into effect unless called upon
to do so by the county’s Civil
■fcfenae organization.
This discussion was raised
Monday at the County Com
missioners’ meeting in the
Court House in Hillsboro
when Mr. Wrenn informed
the members of the board
that Durham had been de
signated as a target area and
that Orange county had been
named a “reqpptfon area”
and could expqct jm Inti
mated 25,000 refUMM jghJ
in an hour in the|Ki|
such sn attack.
Wimre, after pointfhg nut
that “the American people
when emergency comes will
get out and do miracles, but
until that emergency comes
they will do nothing,” re
quested that the board help
finance a survey of the coun
ty to find out how many re
fltoes the county could
imse and otherwise provide
for.

Chapel HiHians who go to
the Durham-Raleigh-Chapel
Hill airport observe with
pleasure an improvement
made by the State Highway
Department at the sharp
turn in the road about a mile
beyond Nelson: the installa
tion of a conspicious direc
tion sign to replace the
former dim one that a driver
could easily fail to see. The
new sign bears the word
Airport in big letters, with
s pointer, and is of a reflec
ting material that makes it
clear to drivers at night.
There is an old story about
a native who drove a sight
seeing bus on a tour of Civil
War battlefields and also
acted as guide. He had his
history down pat—history
of the brand he liked. One
day a woman passenger said
to him: “All the battles you
tell us about were Confed
erate victories. Didn’t the
Northerners sometimes
win ?” The driver-guide
answered firmly: “Lady, as
long as I’m runnin’ this bus
and tollin’ about the war, the
Confederates are goin’ to
win all the battles.” .
That reminds me of my
practice with regard to the
name of the airport. The
legal and official name is
Raleigh-Durham but I say
Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill
and am going to keep on
calling the airport by that
Qame, in conversation and in
print. And if I use an ab
breviation it will be R-D-CH.
Look at the little map of
