Grafton Civil Defense Units Plan Mock Nationwide Raids
Civil Air Patrol and Ground Observer Corps units in Grafton prepare for the first nationwide civil defense exercise set for June 14 and 15. The event will simulate an atomic attack on several U.S. cities including Wheeling and New York, with Canada and other regions also involved. The drill aims to test defenses and communications as enemy bombs and missiles are assumed. Meanwhile J R Law of Watson faces reckless driving charges after a Saturday night crash at East Washington and Bridge Street, injuring a passenger, with Law’s brakes cited as defective and a $101 bond set for police court appearance.
