Office of Civilian Defense workers help protect nation's capital. Air raid wardens at a sector meeting in Washington, D.C., discuss the zones they control during a practice air raid. The air raid warden, key man of the civilian defense organization, must be well known to the people of his sector. It is his job to clear the streets, see that people take proper cover, prevent panic and summon aid promptly when it is needed. Sourced from the Library of Congress.
