Mothers To Press Board On Shelters. Mrs. Norton Vows Her C. D. Unit Will Write Trustees, Prod Homeowners. Paramus, New Jersey; October 10, 1961. Mothers will march on the Board of Education to spur a Civil Defense preparedness drive, Mrs. Sally Norton said last night. Lots of Letters. "We'll also write them so much that they're bound to do something" said the Borough home-preparedness director. Purpose of the drive, she added, was to get the Board to erect fallout shelters in the schools. The drive was prompted after Borough C. D. Director Warren G. Hildenbrand Jr. told 25 persons at the Ridge Ranch School it was up to the mothers to bombard the School Board into action. He also explained a fallout from beginning to end. Mrs. Norton said her volunteer group would initiate a 5-week first-aid course Thursday at the school. Mrs. Rose D'Aiuto of the Volunteer Ambulance Corps will be the instructor. The first goal of the home-preparedness group, Mrs. Norton said, was to prod homeowners into storing 2-weeks food in case of an emergency. She said if something happens, it will be too late to acquire food. Deputy C. D. Directors Archie Petronzio and Edward Sharkey last night installed 16 volunteer women. Mrs. Norton said she hopes to swell the ranks to 70 in less than 2 weeks. The unit is planning a home-preparedness day in the near future.
