KCJ7EA7, 12, 1942 PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEIZXY JOURNAL PAGE THRU County Schools to Hold Air Raid Drills Protective Measures Require Organi zation, Planning, Training and Drill ; To Be Started at Once Through Charles W. Taylor, state superintendent of Public Instruc tion, Mrs. Lora Lloyd Kieck, Cass county superintendent of schools, has received an announcement from Fiorello H. LaGuardia. director of V. S. Office of Civilian Defense, Washington, D. C. "What School Teachers and Pupils Should do Dur ing: an Air Raid" was the theme of the announcement, and air raid prac tices should he conducted in every school, public and parochial. The following are emergency in structions for schools until further notice: 1. What to do when an Air Raid Warning Sounds ("howling" siren, short blasts or other local general warning). Sound the school fire alarm in a special way (short rings, etc.) Have each class leave its room in order as in fire drill. Conduct classes to the Air Raid Refuge. Do not permit any pupils to leave the building. Do not allow any pupils to return to classrooms until "All Clear" sig nal is given. Do not send the pupils home. 2. Air Raid Drill. Use your fire drill organization to get pupils to the Air Raid Refuge. Have them file from the classroom in the same way, in the same order, under the same leaders. But take them to the Air Raid Refuge. 3 Air T?air1 Refute. The (hance of a direct hit on any individual building is very small. You must guard against the blast of nearby high-explosive bombs, and incendiaries and falling fragments of anti-aircraft shells. You must get away from windows and from open doors. The large in side halls of most schools are suit able for an Air Raid Refuge. Do not use the halls on the top floor of the building. The cellar is a suitable Air Raid Refuge provided there are plen ty of exits and providing any win dows to the outside can be protected by a layer of sandbags. Select the most protected places In the building be sure they provide enough capacity to hold everyone without crowding. Pe sure there is more than one exit. It is important, too. that the Air Raid Refuge should have easy access to drinking water and toilet facil ities. 4. What to do about Incendiaries. Be sure the fire extinguishers are in proper working order. Be sure you have enough people teachers or older pupils who know how to use them. Appoint these people as fire guards. Have them take assigned posts when the air raid drill sounds. Appoint a Chief Fire Guard. If incendiaries hit the building, the fire guards should try to handle them and put them out with water spray. If the fire gets beyond con trol, the Chief Fire Guard should sound the regular fire alarm. All pupils should be conducted from the building as in a regular fire drill. Class leaders should conduct them in an orderly fashion to shelter in near by homes. Leaders must keep the pupils in control. 5. What to Organize. Do these things right away they are essential now! (a) Select the air raid refuge more than one if necessary. Be sure there is more than one exit. (b) Determine how the school alarm will be sounded for an air raid. (c) Assign a refuge space or a refuge room for each class or class room. Assign class leaders to con duct the drill the same as for fire. (d) Publish full instructions; have them read over and over again to the pupils. Have them posted on ROAD NOTICE To whom it may concern: The Commissioner appointed to re port on the vacation of Public Road No. 269, commencing at the North west Corner of the SE1 of Section 14. Township 12 North, Range 13 East and running thence east fd terminating at the Northeast Corner of the NW14 of the SWV4 of Section 13, Township 12 North, Range 13 East; has reported in favor of the vacation thereof; and all objections hereto, or daims for damages, must be filed in the County Clerk's office on or be fore noon on the 21st day of Feb ruary, 1942, or such road will be vacated without reference thereto.

Today our av- per capita consumption of sugar is over 100 lbs. Sugar not only adds sweetness and palatability to many foods and beverages, but is a valu able source of Xr. J timet A. Tobvy aeceary food-energy. When used in reasonable amounts, it has a legitimate place in the diet. There are, however, other sweetening agents which are far superior to sugar in food values. One of these is molasses, inter mediate product in the conver sion of sugar cane into pure sug ar. Another is honey, made by bees from the nectar of flowers. These natural sugars are high er in food values because they contain important vitamins and minerals, lacking in refined sug ars produced from cane and beets.-Pure sugar is a carbohy drate only, devoid of other nu trients. Modern molasses, made in the old fashioned way without bulletin boards. Be sure every teach er and every pupil understands them now. These things should be done at -. . . 31 once, we are suddenly, unexpecieuij . at war. 'When you have completed all of these things, it is time to organize your long-range planning. 6. Here are some of the steps to take. The Department of Education or other school authority, under the di rection of the local defense co-ordin-ator. should plan and adopt a war program for the duration. Here are some of the steps to consider: (a) Appointment of school build ing wardens whose duties should be o-ordinated with their local zone or district warden service. (b) Special transmission of air . i,.,j: It'l LU N UUUI IJllllUlUKa. c Fire defense adequacy of pres- ent equipment, appointment of fire : brothers, sons, a daughter, a grand watchers (of fire guards), and special daughter and her children and other training in combating incendiaries p area (d) Protective construction quick and simple measures to provide ad-JThe report of the earthquake was diticnal security. surprising to local relatives. fe) Study of alternate air raid refuges for teachers and pupils in -ase of fire. Depending upon loca- ticn. suitable buildings in the neighborhood may be available for use as air raid refuge. It is desirable to explore this pusfciimii 111 oruer 10 eiiect aisper sion where it can be done without undue exposure to the children. 7. What to do about training. Start your training now. Don't wait for the final plan. Drill your pupils to behave on an air raid alarm just as they do a fire alarm. Hold drill every few days until they are thoroughly accustomed to it. Keep up the morale of the pupils, so that if a raid occurs you will have experience in keeping them occupied. Organize first aid training for select ed groups. Organize fire defense training for the fire guards. 8. Are we in danger The answer to thi.t is we don't intend to be caught again any where or anytime. We are not going to say again "It can't happen here." Don't rush around, don't worry, but ACT! These are simple precau tions. Read them again. Think how you will apply them to your school. Then take the necessary action to day. PARENTS! If an air raid should come while your children are at school, see to your own safety. Stay home, go to your refuge room, stay away from windows. Do not try to reach the school. You could accomplish no good. You could do a great deal of harm by such action. In an air raid. Rule No. 1 is to stay off the street, get under cover. On the street, there is a risk of falling shell fragments, racing cars and fire aparatus. Stay indoors. Do not try to telephone. The wires must be kept clear for the wardens, the police and the fire department. You might prevent an urgent mes sage from getting through. This is hard advice. It is not easy to take. But it is for your best interests and for the welfare of your children. Your order for Job Printing will receive prompt attention here. build nou You may never have an other year when you can borrow ninety per cent of the cost of your home! We are in the Defense Area and that is why you can borrow so much now! E. J. RICHEY LUMIIRK, COAI, PHOIVE 128 PLATTSMOUTH, NEBR. HEALTH HINTS A - l' -T.T.5J A. Tobey- bleaching with sulphur dioxide, is rich in iron. This mineral is re quired in the daily diet for good red blood, and to help prevent anemia. Molasses also contains a substantial amount of calcium, which the body needs for various purposes, including proper use of iron. If old fashioned molasses is eaten as a spread on enriched bread, which is also a good source of iron and calcium, each slice of this bread and molasses should supply about one quarter of your daily needs for this essential min eral. Similarly, if a tablespoonf ul of old fashioned molasses is stirred into a glass of pasteurized milk, this pleasing beverage will sup ply a large part of your iron re quirement, if taken two or three times a day. Another good way to use molasses is mixed with but ter and egg yolk as a spread for bread. In these days when healthful diets for all people are of the ut most significance to national de fense, greater dependence should be placed upon na. iral foods than upon foods thct are too highly processed or refined. Some of our needs for carbohydrates should be met with natural sug ars such as good old fashioned molasses. Local People Experience Oregon 'Quake' Small Earth Tremor Causes Kuch Excitement in Portland Where Quake Feared Bombing Mrs. Carl Kopischka of this city, has received an account of the recent earthquake which struck Portland. Oregon. Although the tiny quake shook up Portland, nevertheless, dishes rattled by earth temblor and windows cracked. Mrs. Kopischka's 1 The following is an account of the quake in Portland as sent to Mrs. Kopischka: A bomb-conscious Portland and its surrounding area were shaken at i10:36 a. m Monday by a sharp. jarring earthquake that bounced buildings and rattled dishes and pictures in the residential sections. Reports of a second temblor at 3 p. m. were received by The Oregon ian from persons living in the south west and southeast sections of the city. All said it was very light, but sufficient to rattle dishes. The morning temblor, lasting only a second, was severely felt in down town office buildings especially, but there was no panic. Many persons ran to office windows, but only a handful left the buildings. No reports of serious damage were received, but there were uncounted broken dishes snd glassware over the great area believed to have been affected. Many persons at first believed the shaking was the result of a bomb, and telephone lines were so jammed that for a time some persons were unable to place a call. Telephone company officials said there were no mechanical failures as a result of the tremor, but that the number of calls jumped as high as 100 per cent in certain sections, making it impossible for some to get a line. One large display window in northwest Portland was reported broken, and a woman on the east side was said to have fainted. Apparently, however, the quake was limited to the Portland area, a seismograph at Spokane showing only a "very feeble" record of a tremor at 10:37 a. m., and the one at the University of Washington showing none. Many persons said an explosion accompanied the tremor. The northwest section of the city, principally in the heights, seemed j to have been shaken the hardest, and one woman said "it seemed to be a repercussion from a tremendous blast. , L'nlike most quakes, downtown uildings seemed to bounce up and down rather than shake from side to side. The temblor seemed to move east to west. I The new five-story courthouse at jVancouver, Wash., was jarred con siderably, and similar heavy vibra jtions were reported from Orchards and Prebstel, Wash., 25 miles north east of Vancouver. Bonneville dam engineers said it was not felt at the dam. Oregon City residents were shaken, but not as severely as those in. Vancouver. Hillsboro, Multnomnh and other areas in the vicinity of Portland felt it Rev. Charles C. Miltner, C. S. C, president of the University of Port land, said a vase of flowers and a book toppled from his desk in the administration building. A carton of preserves fell and broke at the home of Mrs. Irene Rowe. 4S0T. N. Michigan avenue, and a light globe fell off an ornamental light in the St. Johns district. Operators of the Bull Run dam, the storage reservoir of the city water supply, did not feel the quake 35 miles east of Portland, but it was felt at the Mount Tabor reservoir and other city water reserves. There was no damage. Portland Ore gonian.

ASKS FOR DIVORCE From Thursday's DaTSy In the office of the clerk of the district court today an action in di vorce entitled Charles R. Henry vs. Betty Henry was filed.

Plane Props r 0 It VkJK ' - V if 1 ' 'T Mvlil Jr f J rpHE manufacture of plane propellers from laminated wood requires j A the services of a keen eye and a steady pair of hands. Both blades must be identical in pitch to the merest fraction of an inch and the care exercised in measuring the pitch is indicated in the illustration. Laminated wood propellen have several advantages over those made of metal They are lighter; they cost less and when struck by bullets or shell fragments, they split instead of twisting. One of the largest propeller plants in Canada is located in Winnipeg. Before the war it produced propeller driven snowmobiles which are used extensively for winter trucking in those sections of the north beyond the reach of highways or railroads.
