Partlow Named Civil Defense City Director
Walter Partlow was named director of civilian defense for Chateau at the July meeting of the city council. The council discussed buying a polar gasoline driven 1,500 watt power plant for emergency use at 120 dollars to light a headquarters building and maintain radio communications if power fails. It was noted such a unit would help during hail storms as well as wartime. The council and defense head will study the purchase further while noting Choteau has power links to Conrad and Great Falls for backup. Mosquito control will shift to direct poisoning in swamps and breeding sites with aerial spraying possibly the last this summer. An extensive survey will be made for the new extermination program.
