C. Hedges, director of civilian defense in the College Station area a list of instructions has been released for the use of air raid wardens in training those in their areas in the necessary precautions to be taken in all possible cases of danger. These included air raids without warning, air radis with warning and general instructions for use during blackouts and spe cial bomb controls. IN CASE OF AIR RAID WITHOUT WARNING Keep calm. If at home, turn off all lights immediately and stay inside. If in a car, stop immediately at curb being sure not to block any driveway or fire plug; if at night tum off motor and car lights; seek nearest shelter one floor above ground or lie down flat in the open. If on the street, seek nearest shelter one floor above ground, or lie down flat in the open. In case of daylight attack, stay inside, do not rush to help with children at school or elsewhere. Provision has been made to take care of the children at school. Do not use the phone. IN CASE OF AIR RAID WITH WARNING Head for home if you can get there within five minutes easily, safely and without undue rush. Otherwise stop car at curb, turn off lights and seek shelter. All traffic, whether on highways or within the city will be stopped after five minutes. Don’t use the phone, lines must be kept clear for emergencies. Detail the various members of the family to their different du ties. Prepare blackout room that has been chosen for that purpose. Do not turn off main light switch, gas cutoff or pilot lights. In case of fire or incendiaries out of control, always follow your warden’s instructions. Help will be on the way. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Appoint one member of the fam ily to be chief of operations. Mother is usually the most re liable. Detail the various members of the family to perform specific duties when the emergency comes. This will save time and confus ion. Reasons for a blackout room, rather than turning off lights. (a) It is for the protection of you and your family. (b) Remember that an air raid may last for some time. (c) It affords greater protec tion against flying glass from shattered windows. (d) It provides for better mo rale. A family together less ens fear, makes for greater comfort, and avoids any sep aration or loss of the differ ent members in case of em ergency. The blackout room should be the one with the least window space (and some comfort). The dining room may prove to be the most favorable. Blackout material and its place ment. Do not go to any unneces sary expense, but use any ma terial that provides the safety that you desire for your family. Do not use the phone. The lines must be kept clear for emergency calls. Do not leave your home and go driving around in search of chil dren or members of the family. The roads must be kept clear for emergency vehicles. A greater loss of lives may be sustained from automobile accidents than from falling bombs. Turn off all lights, including porch lights, when leaving home at night. This will avoid all un necessary damage to your pro perty by the warden, in case of an air raid. * Avoid burning trash, or having any outside fires at night. Do not smoke during air raids, except in your blackout room. Clean up your attics and trash pilete, including dead grass. Pro vision has been made to have all trash collected and vacant lots cleared off. Provision has been made for the delivery of sand to each home. Keep this sand dry and provide metal recepticles for its delivery to you and its later use. -TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17, 1942 The placement bureau of Bemid- ji (Minn.)

He was caught after a long chase by throwing a coat over him. Because these lizards are rare, he is valuable. Lynn, has been of fered a boa constrictor in exchange for him but has not traded as yet. When asked what he wanted with a boa, Lynn replied that they made very good pets and are nice to have around. —FOOTBALL— (Continued from Page 3) ball on the reserve 36 yard line, and in four consecutive plays Wild Willie Zapalac smashed his way over for a touchdown. Outstanding in the line for the regulars were Truman Cox, an end who is due to see plenty of service next fall, and Slats Holder who played the entire game at center, Bill Sibley having been forced out due to a cold. Coach Norton’s main problem in spring training has been to find capable replacements in the line, and to develop a strong ground at tack to couple with the potent Ag gie aerials. However, from the looks of things the past three Sat urdays, next fall the oft repeated cry of the past three seasons will once again ring out across the gridirons of the Southwest, “Stop those Aggies.” —MAROON— (Continued from Page 3) Duty, L.
