It was rather suprlzlng how little the public really knows about this A program. The efforts and time that Burnell "Speed" Haws and his staff of Instructors: Francis Palmer, Loren Rlchens, and Aerlel Larsen, have spent on preparing and teaching this program to the National Guard Is greatly appreciated, officials Their Instruction reported. has greatly Improved the. guard's understanding of civil defense and citizen-soldierThe main objectives that are taught were, how to provide a system of follout shelters. To provide shelters for the entire population. National, state and local training for shelter, fire fighting, defense, provision of food and water, reconst rue- tlon. Other problems were discus- sed, such as sanitation decon- tamlnatlon of food and water, and how and where to build private and public shelters. The National Guard plays a big role In the program of civil defense by the fact that they are always ready to be moballzed in case of a disaster such as flood, earthquake or even a nuclear attack. They are able to serve in other ways, such as riot control, police security, reconstruction, and flood control. After all the classes were given, each man that attended the classes was given a certificate stating that he had graduated from the civil defense adult education course In personal and family survival. During the month of February the Vernal unit will be learning the techniques of landmine warfare and the principles of explosives and demolitions.
