Control Center Volunteers Urgently Needed For Civilian Defense
A. A. Edmonds of the Council of Civilian Defense urges Phoenix readers to boost spare-board volunteers at the Control Center. He notes many workers report on schedule but misses leave gaps for replacements, and Mrs. J. H. Tuplin highlights difficulty in securing women to serve. The simple duty involves receiving calls from the Providence center and relaying them to listed numbers. The program rests on these volunteers who serve three-hour shifts in uniforms, unseen but crucial to national defense.
