9 9 9 Um Uffnze ggds he it Air raid drill, blue! The word comes in a pre- cise voice from Carnegie-lllinois Communications Control Office. An instant of dead calm follows, and is quickly broken as the office staff takes assigned air-raid posts. Miss Folena at the switch- board flashes warning to our schools and near-by towns. First comes the warning signal-blue. The real alert-red-follows. An intermittent alarm sends students and teachers to assigned safety stations. So long as there is danger of immediate bombing- a vital consideration in a community which is the home of the largest by-product plant in the world- positions are kept. All clear announces that danger is removed. The yellow flash returns students, teachers, and staff to work. Few realize, in the clatter of release, the intricate methods of signals and communication which have been reenacted in the main office by little Miss Folena, Miss Paros, and Mrs. Barclay. The secretaries, Mrs. Bracken and Miss Baxen- dell, remain at their posts ready to give necessary assistance. They have made a quick check to see that essentials have been transferred and sealed in the fireproof vault. Their knowledge of organiza- tion and their maturity of judgment are indispen- sable at a time when quick decision and back- ground of experience are requisite for smooth oper- ation. 1?
