Air Defense Leader criticizes Cantonians apathy in volunteer drive
Canton air raid defense supervisor William L. Belknap reported only 206 of 500 volunteers for emergency duty have been recruited since mid August. He blamed public apathy and said volunteers would work only a few hours weekly during emergencies with training dates not yet set. The milford building center on Walnut and Tuscarawas would operate around the clock in emergencies, hiring through American Legion Post 44 and V F W Floyd Hughes Post, with mail or phone options to Belknap.
