Defense measures expand as civilians sign up
The defense effort details volunteers for civil protection and fire service. Citizens fluent in multiple languages register to aid the program while a civilian defense office fine tunes filing.

First aid training for industry employees starts with Red Cross instructors and will expand to plants of varying sizes. The fair rent committee intensifies activity with 38 cases awaiting action as city inspectors plan housing reviews.
