List of Civilian Defense Training Courses Available

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Air Raid Warden Course--a good basic course for all branches of Civilian Defense work as well as special preparation for wardens. It is open to anyone in the University. It will last for three weeks, with meeting Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7:30 to 9:30 o'clock. The first meeting will be held Tuesday, January 13, in Emerson D. No advanced registration is necessary, but questions about it will be answered by Mrs. Wise, 12 University Hall, Kirkland 7600, Line 36.

Auxiliary Fireman--regular training, including handling hose, ladders, water and first aid equipment, etc. The class will be limited to 50 students, faculty, and male employees. It will require between 30 and 40 hours, with 2-hour sessions to be arranged for once or twice a week in the late afternoon or evening. The first meeting will be held early in February at the Fire Station opposite Memorial Hall. Mrs. Wise will answer questions about it.

Auxiliary Police--infantry drill, police duties, law and responsibilities, control of crowds, problems of college police, etc. The course will be open to students, faculty, and male employees (with no other Civilian Defense obligations). With meetings yet to be arranged, the course will require two hours a week or less throughout the year. The first meeting will be held at 5:30 o'clock Thursday, January 8, in Sever 11. Address questions to Professor Mason Hammond, Widener Library 184 or 63 Brattle Street, Kirkland 7836.

Aircraft Warning Service--Boston Information Center, First Interceptor Command. The course will be open to anyone who in the daytime can participate in 4-hour shifts five days a week, or in the night-time, 6-hour shifts three or four nights a week. Students will be trained in service in three or four days and thereafter will be on regular duty.

10-hour First Aid--This is the minimum expected of auxiliary policemen and of auxiliary firemen, but the 20-hour course is now required training for Air Raid Wardens. The 10-hour course does not give a Red Cross First Aid Certificate and counts only as 5 hours towards the 20-hour certificate. Meetings will be arranged only if there is sufficient demand. Send questions to Mrs. Wise, 12 University Hall, Kirkland 7600, Line 36.
