CO-or NOTTS
Pearl Harbor was not the only
place stunned by the sudden aggres
sion of the Jans, Sunday.
The peace and quiet of our
Community was broken by the War
Declaration and things have moved
at a fast pace all week getting or
ganized for the emergency.
i'y first thought was the pro
tection of the Foods, Gasoline and
other supplies we hrve as ’./ell as
the water and other utilities.
I called all employees who
were available on such short notice
and the members of the Board had
time to contact for 7:50 . me ay
evening for the purpose of request
ing volunteers for Blackout and
Guard Duty.
Tveryone present volunteered
and we went to work.
Three groups or Squads were
made up, one for Patrol Duty, one
for Police and Blackout and one for
f i re.
Several of the Aneri .an Legion
boys cane in and volunteered to
help and arrangements wore made for
a committee from the Legion to
meet with the Board of Directors
the next day at 2:50 for further
organization.
I wish to express my appreci
ation to all C.D. patrols as well
as the Residents for their splendid
cooperation.
They have and still are doing
a good job. The enemy nay never
get here but if the"* do e are or
ganized to do our part.
The auditorium has been black
ed-out and shows, basket ball and
other entertainment can be held as
usual.
The Store will be open even
ings until 8 P.M. starting Monday
Dec. 15 and continuing until Tues
