Notes	We, the people... In this critical moment of our history, all of us, from all walks of life, all shades of political opinion, all races and creeds, must organize and train ourselves -- to defend ourselves. And when we join together to defend our local community we add strength not only to our local community but to our national community as well -- we help to fortify our whole union. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Preseident of the United States.--inside front cover.

Summary	Civilian Defense has two tasks: 1. The first is to prepare for the day we pray may never come: when bombs and artillery fire fall on our cities, towns, and the countryside, and when men, women, and children must stand prepared to defend their homes and liberties. 2. The second is to better the health, economic security, and well-being of our people, to make our country strong. The job is tremendous, calling for the cooperation of all community organizations and of each and every citizen, to one end -- community defense. The Office of Civilian Defense will direct this national movement. But the responsibility for organizing and training will rest on each and every local community. Each and every citizen can be used. The civilian Defense Volunteer Office in each locality is the place for all to enroll and train.--iii.
