The program will begin at 8:30. 'I really feel we have a big job to do to keep women from getting panicky if something happens; what will they do then, go out and get prepared when it's too late? … If I have time with my three children plus the job, then I'm sure many others do too,' she said. She also said it was more than a little disappointing that no programs were under way in other towns. 'Some one has to wake them up and I'm sure going to try,' she said.

She said if something happens, it will be too late to acquire food. Deputy C. D. Directors Archie Petronzio and Edward Sharkey last night installed 16 volunteer women.
