Civilian Defense Week - (Civilian defense week -plan and suggestions for defense councils1) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

The President has proclaimed November 11 - 16 as Civilian Defense Week. Its purpose will be three-fold: 1. To stimulate the people to an awareness of the need for civilian defense and the many specific ways in which people can participate. 2. To inform the people as to how local civilian defense groups are being organized and how a civilian can enroll and serve. 3. To stimulate the establishment of Volunteer Offices so that active civilian protection and community service programs can proceed promptly. The theme of the week: the only effective answer to total war is total defense. General plans for the week have been formulated by the Washington Office of Civilian Defense and cooperating governmental and private groups. The responsibility for carrying out and adapting national plans will fall to the regional directors of the OCD and their staffs and the State Defense Councils but the real opportunity rests with local Defense Councils to carry to all the people of the United States the story of what civilian defense means and the various opportunities for service it offers to every man, woman, and child in the country. We in the national office are making and will continue to make every effort to assure the success of Civilian Defense Week but the real measure of success will be how well the defense councils tell the story in their own communities.
