Some questions and answers about O.O.C. Q Why do we have to have air defense during peacetime? Why not wait until war is de clared A. Air defense measures taken during peacetime can be com pared to an insurance policy taken out on life or property during a normal time of good health or fair weather. Like Insurance, we hope that we shall never have to use it but if the occasion arises we have a means of protection which may help to nullify or greatly reduce the effort of an unex pected disaster. Waiting until war is declared before Imple- i menting air defense measures would be comparable to wait- i ing until we become seriously ill j to apply for life Insurance. Q According to newspaper , accounts, a great deal of money Is being spent by the air force Legal Advertising ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE Having qualified as adminis trator of estate of J. P.

Will you tell me why there is a need for a Ground Observer Corps in addition to radar? A. A radar unit is indeed a marvelous piece of equipment. It Is very complicated, how ever, and may become inopera tive at an inopportune mom ent. just as your television set does when you have the neigh bors in to watch an interesting program. Radars are susceptible to jamming by an attacking force which would greatly Im pair their usefulness at a time they would be most needed. In , spite of these difficulties, radar is by far the best way of fol lowing the movements of air craft at high altitudes Even when radfirs are working per fectly, they do not do a good job of following the movements of aircraft at low altitudes. This is true because the electronic omissions from radar sets are reflected upwards when they strike the earth's surface. This results in gaps between radars that sometimes go higher than 5.000 feet, where there will be no knowledge of aircraft move ments at all unless this inform ation is provided by ground ob servers. The ground observer method is superior for obtain ing information of the move ments of low flying aircraft. Q. It is difficult for me to understand how my observa tion post is going to have much influence on the protection of my community. The attacking planes will be here and gone before we will be able to do anything. A. The ground observers in any one community are provid ing information which may aid neighboring communities. It is a mutual assistance organiza tion where each group depends on all other groups. If every ob servation post does its job well, all communities, including yours, will have additional pro tection against attacking air craft that they would not have without the Ground Observer Corps.
