Systematic training of England’s air-raid wardens - those “minute men” who coordinate the work of rescuers, firemen and others when a bomb strikes - includes the use of a tactical table consising of a map showing streets and structures of a large part of the city. Toy models of ambulances, fire apparatus, wardens and police are moved about to illustrate lectures and instructions. Fire hose is represented by strips of rubber. To simulate an air attack, paper disks representing bombs are dropped upon the “town.” Students then demonstrate their ability in dealing with the areas hit. Air-raid wardens also show their knowledge and skill in a game of darts. On the dart board there is a chart of a district with the names of principal streets, and to the darts flights are affixed bearing reference to certain emergency air-raid messages. One of the wardens selects a dart, tosses it into a “street,” and then reports by telephone the instructions called for in the emergency message. The head warden, at the other end of the phone, compargs the warden’s instructions with the official copy corresponding to the message on the dart’s flights. If any errors have been made he corrects them through a loud speaker.
