Start Classes For Defense

the

Classes of instruction

•eparate units set up ^nder local Civil Defense Council have started and the arrival of certain items needed in these instructions are awaited from the state headquarters so that all

units can get started.

High school boys who have volunteered for members of the fire department reserve started with a daas of 22 on Monday evening and on Wednesday evening spent some time in going through preliminary instructions ut the local fire headquarters. The Fire Reserve is being instructed under the direction of Fire Chief William B. Gilbert, Charles* B. Shields, of the Volunteer Fire Department, and Foreman Sol Needles, of the paid department, with several members of the volunteer companies

assisting fa the work.

Volunteers for Fire Raid Wardens are being contacted individually and given instructions in their duties and will soon join a mass class of members of this important unit and will then be set for their stations and duties

in any emergency.

Police Reserves arc being picked and individually interviewed and will soon attend classes set up to take care of this part of the defense work which will need

quite extensive training.

All members of the three units will follow the instructions issued to them in booklets issued by the State Defense Council which will conform to the general line-up of the National Defense Council and will make Cape May’s civil defense a part of the national

defense chain.

The number of volunteers for each separate department as taken from the questionnaires recently turned in is as follows: Air Raid Duty 92 Fire Reserve 86 Police Reserve 70 Rescue Work 61 Debris Clearing 60 First Aid 250 Motor Corps 116 Clerical, Typing 05 Social and Consumer 115 Sewing and Knitting 29 Cooking 10 Entertainment 1 No Choice 144 In addition to the above sixtythree high school boys have volun tee red for Fire Reserve work and will be examined and those that are found fit will be given details in case of their being

needed.

A committee of five will be picked from those who volunteered for Social and Consumer Interest Work and the balance of these volunteers asked to volunteer for some other branch of the Service to be rendered. There seemed to be a misunderstanding of the meaning of this particular work and a full description of this will be carried in this paper next week.
