Mobilization of Defense Units Staged Sunday
Local civilian defense officials described the test mobilization as thin in spots but generally as expected given manpower shortages. In Winneganee the wardens and air raid wardens showed strongest readiness while many sectors lacked adequate coverage. An unidentified man was found injured near High and Lemont, but no other casualties occurred. Officials said the exercise revealed organizational gaps and will guide phased improvements as volunteers remain crucial to defenses.
