Complete Plan To Coordinate Civil Defense The State Defense Council has formulated a plan for the coor- / dination of all police and fire facilities of the state for use in any emergency. The plan, which took a year and a half to organise, will be explained to all 668 load defense councils of the state. Starting in August, 1940, the chairman of the Civil Protection Committee of the State Defense Council, with a sub-committee composed of representatives of the State Association of Chiefs of Police and Fire Chiefs prepared a plan to inventory and-index the personnel and equipment of all police and fire departments of the state. This task has been completed and all records are on file with the state police, complete to the number of threads in each piece-of lire hose. In order to obtain the most efficient action, with the least confusion and delay, the committee planned for regional coordination of all police and fire activities in an emergency under the direction of regional coordinators. Mobilization of emergency personnel and equipment is assigned to three civil protection regions which conform in territory to the three troop areas of the state police. Captains commanding the troop areas are designated as the coordinating officers of the respective regions. Cape May, Camden, Atlantic, Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem Counties are in Region 8 under the control of Troop A with headquarters at Hammontop. Captain William J. Carter is coordinating officer. All of the coordinator offices are connected With the state-wide teletypewriter system and may be reached through that method of communication. Each coordinating office has on file complete reports on the police and fire resources of each municipality in terms of personnel and equipment. Each office will have knowledge of troop movements or disasters and will be in the .best position to route the aid which may be needed by any municipality. In the event of emergency in any municipality where assistance from other police and fire departments is necessary, the request for such assistance should be made to the proper coordinating officer of the Civil Protection Region. He will be able to Judge the kind and amount of assistance needed and to issue routing and scheduling instructions by which congestion of traffic may be avoided, thus obtaining the most affective help. The chief of the local police V department will be the local coordinator. The fire department will confine its activities to fire services, ► while the police will take charge of traffic, escort service, control of crowds, guarding of premises, arranging for evacuation, first aid, hospitalization, ambulance service, etc. The State Defense Council announced that nothing in the plan should be interpreted as interfering with the normal functions ' of police and fire departments, or to void existing compacts for mutual aid between adjoining municipalities. %

to the gifts.

“Do you have readable books in good condition which you will donate to the Victory Book Campaign?" Miss Thomas asked. “The call for books for camps and defense areas has been broadcast over the country and the response shows that the welfare of the men in the service is a very vital thing to the American pub-

lic.

“Good books of every kind are needed to fill the shelves in the recreation rooms of the soldiers, sailors and marines and of the USO Clubs. The large camps have ” ’ and organized limany collections of books in the day rooms and recreation houses, in order that a man may not have to walk five miles for a book as was formerly the case in the big camps. Books are needed for the small detachments sent to isolated locations; books are ammunition against boredom,’’ Miss Thomas explained. “Many of the libraries in towns which have had a sudden growth of population due to defense industries have been without ade-
