American law enforcement has not been leeping at its post of duty. For more than a year the Federal Bureau of Investi gation has been quietly planning a thorough program in civilian protec tion. It is an educational project to in struct local, county, metropolitian and state police agencies in the problems of Civilian Defense. Civilian defense must include every one, because modern conflict is not limiteQ to battles between soldiers and tanks and guns. It js a warfare of attrition, grinding down the strength of an enemy nation. Powerful long range bombers release their le thal loads from high in the skies, let destruction occur where it may. No town or city of a besieged nation can be considered out of range and the civilians often suffer much more than do the soldiers. All the resources that contribute to our national strength would be potential targets to enemy aircraft. These would include the huge manufacturing areas of the northeast, the “bread basket” of the nation though the midwest, the oil fields of OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY OF SEMINOLE AND THE CITY OF DONALSONVILLE, GEORGIA Red Cross Roll Call Is Being Made This Week I The annuel Red Cross roll call is 'r ing hel l here this week with Edgar W.

[ “Seminole county schools have de ' signated Friday as Red Cross day. i Let all children contribute their | nickles and dimes to this worthy i cause.” I ( ’ Next Thursday Is Thanksgiving Next Thursday, November 27th, will be observed as Thanksgiving Day in Georgia, and merchants of Donal sonville will observe the day by clos ing their places of business. The President of the United States officially designated Nov. 20th as ■ Thanksgiving Day, but several states have not seen fit to follow the Presi dent’s proclamation and are observ ing the old date—the last Thursday in November. The Georgia Legislature passed a law at last session fixing the date in Georgia, as the last Thursday in the month. Next year the date will not be | j changed and the entire nation will | observe the old date as Thanksgiving, • it is announced. TRIAL POSTPONED Trial of Wash Palmore, charged . I with murder of A.
