Civil Defense Is
Self-help-—Erickson
Civil defense is organized self-
help, F. K. Erickson, director,
Emergency Sanitation Division,
Federal Defense Administration,
Washington, D. C., said at the
meeting of the Texas Water and
Sewage Works Association at Tex
as A&M College. The director
spoke on water works organization
and civil defense.
“There must be a centralized au
thority for the target areas which
is prepared in advance with the
necessary legal authorizations and
by prior activities of training and
exercises to go into operation im
mediately in the event of a civil
defense emergency,” Erickson told
the association meeting being at
tended by more than 500 persons
from all over Texas.
“The price of delay, wasted man
power and materials is too great
to permit in a disaster of the
scope of a civil defense emergency.
“The water utility must work
hand in glove with rescue, debris
clearance, health and medical, oth
er utilities, police, fire and welfare
servipes.
“The nature of water utility is
such that it will need to maintain
an overall emergency headquar
ters,” Erickson declared.
In outlining the need for organi
zation for civil defense, the speaker
also said that “when we consider
the magnitude of the numbers of
people affected, it becomes evident
that no city could meet this prob
lem alon. In the instance of a city
TODAY and FRIDAY
of say 400,000 population and a
1-2 X bomb delivered after warning
we would still have to expect about
16,000 killed, 28,000 injured ser
iously and more than 60,000 home
less.
“Not only will there be a need
for assistance brought to the city,
but very evidently many of the
28,000 injured and the many more
thousands homeless are going to
need to be evacuated to surround
ing communities,” Erickson said.
These communities must deter
mine what facilities they have to
meet these demands. They must
be prepared to meet the increased
requirements for water supply and
other services without bringing
hazard to the health of cither resi
dent or refugee.
“Perhaps the supply is already
ample, the pumping capacity great
enough to exclude low pressure and
contamination under increased peak
loads. Perhaps theer is treatment
capacity and chlorination capacity
to meet these extra demands safely
Perhaps there is stand-by power
available. But it must be deter
mined that these things are so be
fore any community can be sure.
“At the same time it must be
determined whether there are weak
points—places where by accident or
by deliberate sabotage the whole
system or a major part of it can
be put out of service.”
The director declared that it is
not enough to wait for some one
named as a civil defense directo
to get around to doing these things
for us. Each utility must be pre
pared to analyse itself and at the
same time to encourage a eommu
nity-wide preparation.
“But don’t wait to let George do
it.’ Examine your own segment
of the problem now, Know the
weaknesses of your segment and
determine what can be done about
it.”

Track Team Does
To Meet Saturday
By PAUL WALLIN
The annual Little South
western livestock exposition
will be held March 20 said D.
L. Handlin, faculty sponsor of
the Saddle & Sirloin club.
The Little Southwestern is a
complete livestock show that is de
veloped each year by animal hus
bandry students or students major
ing in some field or agriculture.
‘The students handle the entire
show from its initial planning
through the distribution of prizes,”
said Handlin.
All livestock shown is the prop
erty of A&M college and the boys
are judged on their job of work
manship and showmanship rather
than the condition of the animal.
There will be various classes of
cattle, sheep, swine and horses
shown at these respective live
stock centers.
The climax of the Little South-
westei'n will be the fifth annual
ham sale, the proceeds of which
are used to send the Junior and
Senior livestock judging teams to
the various intercollegiate live-
stock judging contests held
throughout the year.
