Summary	Who should join: all able-bodied, responsible persons in the community -- men and women, housewives, laborers, business and professional people -- for the mutual protection of all. Boys and girls, and elderly people too, have work to do. The program is broad; the tasks are many; the time is now! How to join: all persons should visit and offer their services to the local 'Civilian Defense Volunteer Office' or, if it has not yet been established, direct to the local Civilian Defense Council. If neither organization is available, patriotic residents should call upon their mayor and discuss the need for organization. Qualifications for membership require enrollment, physical and mental aptitude, recognition of obligation to study duties, take required training courses, and subsequently attend periodical group practice... Schools and training should be organized locally and all members of each group are expected to study and attend training courses... Duties are numerous -- a special group is assigned to each classification of duty. Insignia have been designed to distinguish each group or branch. Arm bands and cloth and metal ornaments for uniforms or civilian dress are permitted only for enrolled workers who have satisfactorily completed training courses... Equipment varies according to duties of different groups.--p. 1.
