Mann, the Defense Council had prepared cards of instructions. These set forth precautions to be taken by the civilian population on the event of gas attack, together with an outline of first aid methods to be used. It is the plan of the committee, according to Chairman Mann, to have one of these cards in the hands of every householder in the city. To this end, all sector air raid wardens and their assistant wardens have been following instructions to contact every resident in their respective areas. "It is vitally important that every home in the city be provided with these instructions," today declared Mann.
