MOgPAY. gQTOEBSB, 2, 1942. THE PLATTSMOUTH EVENING JOURNAL PAGE FIVE Civilian Defense Classes Learn Of Bomb Damage ' Illustrated. Lessons Presented at American Legion Building Last Evening. M There were more than 350 of the local people interested in the civilian defense work, present last evening at the American Legion building to have their regular lessons. The program was one supplied by State Fire Marshal A. E. Carter and was especially interesting to the air raid warden, firemen, police and rescue groups of the civilian defense. With the motion pictures Mr. Carter also gave short explanations of the methods of fire fighting and the ex tinguishing of the incediary bombs. The picture showed the various types of fire bombs that have been used in the bombardment of the British cities and the effective way to check fires caused by the bombs and the elimination of the bombs themselves. The organization and carrying out of the work of the fire wardens was also very interesting showing the well ordered manner in which the communities are handled in case of air raid alarms and the black out of homes and buildings in the time of alarm as well as the effective patrol of the wardens of their par ticular territory. Rescues were shown of persons trapped in bombed buildings. The policing work was also shown in the films of action for defense. The lesson was climaxed by the showing of "London Afire", actual pictures taken during the great Ger man air raids in December 1940 and the heroic work of the British civil ians and the firemen in fighting the thousands of fires over the city. It was a most gripping picture of what horrors the war has brought to millions. One Doctor For Each 1500 Chicago, Oct. 28 (UP) The American civilian population is now protected by one doctor for every 1, 500 people, as compared to one for every 700 people before the war. Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Jour nal, of the American Medical associ ation.1 said today. - -v-r f. - Fishbein addressed the automotive and machine shop section of the na tional safety congress. He said that despite shortages of medical man power in civilian communities, the nation was in k. better position than great Britain, where the ratio is one doctor for every 2,700. Discuss Civic Auditorium Milo Price, postmaster of Platts mouth, was the guest speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Rotary club, held at the Hotel Plattsmouth on Tuesday noon. Mr. Price discussed the possibili ties of a civic auditorium as a great asset to the city as a place for con ventions and entertainments, one that would be adequate to care for large groups in an adequate way and make Plattsmouth more ac cessible for convention purposes.
