If this country is attacked, a
Start will undoubtly be made with
incendiary bombs Tha mast common type of these bomfos-and she
most effective type-is light, small
and safe for an emeny to handle.
A single bombing plane can carry
2,000 or more of them. And eacjh

T he moral of tins is clear, oae of
the first and essential steps to Im
taken la defense of this continent
ia to perfect onir firs defenes. London and other Engiah cities would
not exist today if their fire-fighting
organisations, professional and volunteer alike, had not produced mir-

it"°js perfectly possible for an enemy
to 'reach and attack our principal
industrial centers from bases located in Europe snd the Far Eaat.
Here, then, is a real civil defense
ji.tbi Relativety few American
cities and towns have sufficient
fire-fighting equipment to deal with
a big attack. Relatively few communities have as yet developed adequate fire prevention and fire-fighting forces. The improperly {prepared commiUnity is (wide open to
trhgedy and utter disaster.
There is no time to . lose. fti
every town, no matter how small,
fire-fighting training should be given to civilian groups. Additional
equipment s-bwald be purchased as
fast as {Jos-able. German fire raids
on English cities have slowed to a
standstill for just one reason: The
British have learned to cope with
them and rob them of their terrors.
An enemy does aot waste materials
and energy when it becomes obvious
thst the results obtained are not
