Sam, ran the Chicken Tower, had a new son. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sickafoose are the proud parents •of a boy also. Congratulations to both families and a hearty welcome to the two new residents. Political parties first figured prominently in the campaigrt between Jefferson and Adams in 178®. dvfl Defense Recently, in Chicago, a civil defense, meeting was held which was a privilege to attend. There were women from every important town and city in the state. Chairman of this meeting wae Humphrey Sullivan. The main speakers were Gen. John L. Homer and Gen. Robert M. Woodward of the state office of civil defense. The purpose of the meeting was two-fold. Facts and figures were given and organization, as well as operation, Were discussed and explained. Another purpose was to try to combat the apathy shown in many communities toward civil defense. Minnie Green, our eleventh district president, was Invited to attend. Helen Gordon, eleventh district civil defense chairman and myself attended. We came away inspired and concerned. Among many notables who attended the meeting was the Department of Illinois president, Mrs. A. G. Strum. The American Legion auxiliary waa well represented. They had a much larger crowd than was anticipated. There were officers and representatives from the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs, many Catholic women's organizations, Girl Scout organizations, University Women's club, Business and Professional Women's clubs. V.F.W., Amvets, one South American -organization and one representative from the CIO, as well as a woman representing hundreds of waitresses. Gen. Homer told a great deal about the organization and operation . of the defense units. One of the most important of the defense structures is the ground observation corps. Throughout the state there are 800 observation posts. Each one looks different from the other but all report in the same manner to the Chicago filter center. If a plane is spotted, the observer heed not be able to identify the plane. He is required to estimate at what heighth the plane is flying and in1 what direction. The number of engines the plane has is also reported. W»*en such a report is mide by several posts it enables the filter center to establish approximate speed and direction of the plane. The filter center, in turn, notifies the air defense control at Willow Run. Two jet interceptors are dispatched from O'Hare field and if it is found to be hostile a plan is followed which is immediately put into action. * Willow Run alerts the civil authorities, who alert the state police and they pass the word on to the county sheriffs. Air raid alarms are put into effect Radio networks are taken over and the telephone company cuts off fell commercial lines and turns them over to defense. As may be seen from this plan, timing is the most important single factor in a successful defense program. A jet plane could travel from LaCrosse, Wis., to Janesville, Wis., in ten min utes. If the observers do not spot it in time it could get through. It is necessary to be warned whert a plane is at least seventy-five miles distant in order to intercept it before it reaches its targets. Our most effective defense is, of course, the jet interceptor. However, we possess the guided missile which is called Nike And is an American Invention. Antiaircraft guns would be used ifj an enemy plane reached Chicago. The district is also protected by radar. The r^dar station is at Williams Bay. Radar can detect planes flying up to 30,000 feet. A plane from Siberia, for instance, might fly at 1,000 to 2,000 ffeet but near Chicago it would have to go up to 30,000 feet to avoid radar detection. j The mayor in each town of over 1,000 is authorized to appoint a civil defense director who, in t,urn, appoints his committee. In smaller towns the sheriff is head of civil defense. Gen. Homer stressed the fact that organizing a defense .unit and not training it is not of much use. President Eisenhower believes it is possible for an enemy plane to penetrate our defenses and each community should plan its civilian defense. If an atomic bomb should strike it would require all of our defense organi-; zation merely to combat the destruction and minimize the loss of life. We have no fear of a naval attack since our Navy is gi eater than all the rest of the Navies combined. The fact that we are vulnerable should shock us out of our complacency into a more constructive attitude toward defense. Even in McHenry we would not be immune to attack. Our thoughts are inclined toward Chicago as* the vulnerable point, but with the speed of today's jets we are only a few minutes •way from that Important tafC> ret. . ,, PUBLIC AfBf MEAT PRODUCTION?
