BRITISH air-raid wardens now learn how
to protect civilians with an illuminated map
of typical streets and buildings. By pressing
buttons, an instructor lights
up different lamps, denoting
the fall of high-explosive, in-
cendiary, or poison-gas bombs.
Prospective wardens take
notes of what they would do,
and make imaginary tele-
phone calls for police, ambu-
lances, or fire apparatus, for
subsequent criticism by the
instructor. An added touch of
realism is supplied by tiny models of police-
men, cars, and a shot-down enemy plane,
shown in the picture at lower left.
