That's one of the reasons for Chevrolet's winning stock car record—but it's not the only one. Not by a long shot! NOW'S THE TIME CONE BROTHERS 215 No. Los Angeles St. — Anaheim MORE ABOUT ... Civil Defense ... (Continued from Page A-1) (Cuba) Morris of the Orange county office stressed knowledge of alert signals and their meaning; together with the general practice of the public in depending upon commercial radio for vital civil defense information. "A primary duty of each and every family and individual," Morris said, "is to learn the Conelrad CD frequencies of 640 and 1240 on the radio dial. These emergency radio frequencies will enable the public to determine whether an actual CD emergency exists and what action is to be taken." Alert Signals Described In addition to the yellow alert signal, Morris also described the "red alert: or "attack imminent" warning signal as a three-minute series of short horn blasts or three-minute "wailing" up-down tone of fire or warning sirens. The "white alert" or "all clear" signal telling that danger is past, was described as one-minute blasts of horn or siren with two-minute intervals. Orange county through the years of civil defense preparation has been a leader in the now-famous duck-and-cover concept which calls for the public to find places of safety in the home, the factory, office, or where ever the person may be at the time of CD alarm. In light of this latest move by state civil defense leaders, the plan of duck-and-cover is being re-affirmed by leaders in both city and county governments.
