PERSONALS In the weeks to come, through the media of the press and radio, Director John Shay will attempt to explain the civil defense program to the people of the McHenry area. He has been asked, "What is included in the McHenry civil defense? Is it just the city?" Director Shay states, "The McHenry "civil defense plan includes all homes within an area bounded on the north by Ringwood, on the west by Wonder Lake Road, on the south by Orchard Heights subdivision, and on the east by Kent Acres." This excludes the Wonder Lake and Johnsburg areas, which are in the process of developing or already have a civil defense plan; It is important to the success of the program to have people working with, and for, civil defense. Civil defense is not a job for the state, county or local government. It is a job for the people working with the municipality, furnishing a d v i c e a n d c o o r d i n a t i n g through the director. Everyone serving on the C.D. team is non-salaried, including the director. They are all serving without compensation to develop and formulate an adequate plan for natural disasters and enemy attack. It is important to the success of the program to have volunteers. In the weeks to come we will explain the services of auxiliary fire and police, war-1 dens, communications, rescue, etc. We hope that some of j these will be interesting to | you.

Included are some new groups that clearly demonstrate current American enthusiasms.

S. Kart Association, John Birch Society and the Fine Arts Foundation.
