CIVILIAN DEFENSE INFORMATION
WHAT TO DO IN AN AIR-RAID and AIR-RAID PRECAUTIONS
(These instructions and suggestions have been compiled by Captain Robert E. Parrish, USA, retired, at the request of Mayor Kenneth J. Sims, Euclid's Director of Civilian Defense. Information used is from instructions of the U. S. Office of Civilian Defense, and such authenticated sources as war-correspondents and British instructions.)
KENNETH J. SIMS, Mayor of Euclid DIRECTOR OF CIVILIAN DEFENSE (District 16)
"We are in an all-out war, against desperate foes, strong, determined and well prepared. It is a war of survival, a struggle of life and death. The battle line reaches from the soldiers at the front, across two oceans guarded by our navy, to every as- sembly line and every home in America. We must produce, and produce increasing- ly; conserve as an economical defense measure. Let's "keep 'em rolling and keep 'em flying." Give your all to help."

AIR - RAID PRECAUTIONS
At the Sound of the Warning Siren:
(Short intermittent blasts denote IMMINENT DANGER; Long steady blasts denotes the "ALL CLEAR", given after raiders have passed from a district.)
Keep calm. Avoid panic. Get off the streets at once. Walk-don't run.
If at home STAY INDOORS; if within five minutes walk from home, go there. Otherwise enter the nearest building. Experience proves you are safest in your own home, but in office or loft buildings the third and fourth floors are safest. Stay in the center of rooms. Lie flat. But first --
Put out lights or screen all openings. Close all shut- ters. Turn off gas connection if possible; otherwise shut off gas range, heaters, furnace, stokers, pilot lights. Bank coal fires with ashes.
Keep radio on for instructions.
Fill bathtubs and sinks with water. It may become precious.
Leave doors open. They often stick from concussion.
If there are young children, put cotton in ears. Noise is more frightful to young children than flashes.
DOGS-Keep your dog with you. Children often for- get their own fears at a dog's whimperings and fear.
CATS-Put your cat in a separate room. Cats go berserk.
CANARIES-A canary is extremely sensitive to gas attacks. If canary topples over, put on gas mask. If you do not own a gas mask, evacuate. If conditions do not permit evacuation, douse handkerchief in water and cover nose and mouth. Hug floor and breathe slowly and shallowly. It may give you precious min- utes while awaiting help.
Stay away from windows.
If you are on a bus, remember the bus must stop at the warning signal. Get off and take shelter.
If you are driving, pull over to the curb or in a drive- way at once. Turn off all lights. Don't park in front of a hydrant. Don't park near an intersection. Don't park near police-station, fire-station or hospital. Don't double- park. Don't leave your car in the middle of the street. Remember emergency vehicles travel with dim lights

or no lights at all. Lanes must be KEPT FREE OF ANY OBSTRUCTION. Get out of car and take the best shelter possible-preferably indoors. Otherwise sit down. If bombs start dropping near you, lie flat. Cover your ears with your hands. Protect the back of your head. Do not smoke. Modern planes can detect a lighted cigarette. Do not use an undimmed flashlight.
Pedestrians - If caught in a blackout, stay out of the street-lane. Traveling emergency vehicles cannot see you. Find the nearest shelter on your side of the street. If you meet an air-raid warden go where he tells you to go promptly. Co-operate with authorities cheerfully. They are trained for their jobs.
DO NOT USE A TELEPHONE EXCEPT IN AN EMERGENCY. LINES MUST BE CLEAR FOR OFFICIAL CALLS. In an emergency call, BE BRIEF.
Be Prepared! Here's How:
Be prepared to cover all windows and openings quickly. While permissable to paint glass panes or cover with opaque paper, these keep out sunshine in daylight, which hurts morale, and necessitates burn- ing lights in daytime, not an economical defense meas- ure. It is better to go to a little trouble each night. Build wood frames and cover with black paper or opaque material, or use lightproof drapes or blankets. See no light escapes at edges. Plywood frames with baffle plate make excellent screens.

AIR - RAID PRECAUTIONS
Take down all heavy mirrors or pictures.
Put sand and water in pails in your hallways, under your stairs and in sleeping rooms. (Don't use pails too heavy to be carried by the weakest adult member of your family.) In a suitable location, as under a main staircase or in a cupboard, have a large box of sand and several small shovels. Cover attic floors with two or three inches of sand.
Have several pairs of "asbestos" gloves handy for putting out bedding fires, or pulling down blazing drapes or curtains.
Have containers handy to bathtubs and sinks; also brooms. In case of fire, douse brooms and beat flames. Soaked burlap bags, small cedar or arborvitae trees are helpful.
Women and girls are safer in slacks, overalls or coveralls at such work. For the same reason, they are safer in pajamas than in night-gowns.
Have at least two flashlights for each member of the family. One pocket-sized carry with you always. One larger place on the chair beside your bed. For outdoor use never use an undimmed flashlight. A simple method to dim your lens is to smear with glue, and dust with laundry bluing. Colored tissue will do.

Tip all switches, handles and other things you may reach for in the dark with white paint.
Have a First Aid kit handy.
Have a heavy cloth and stick for tourniquet.
Have vaseline or unguents upstairs and down. A small portable radio is helpful.
Upon retiring, place clothes on bedside chair in order of dress. You may have to dress in dark. Also place flashlight on chair. Teach young children to dress themselves.
Under a bed or a good stout table you are afforded some protection. In England a shelter consisting of a long table with heavy timber top, stout legs, and let- down sides of fine steel mesh is popular. The top sometimes is covered with sheet steel. A mattress placed below it affords some comfort. If you have a prepared shelter in the home, go there.
Shelter Protection
If you plan cellar space for a shelter, do not select section near a large water or gas main, nor large com- pressed-air tank. Use extra shoring, 4-inch by 4-inch or larger, preferably run crosswise to beams. Its purpose is increased stength to keep upper floors from toppling down on you. Have two or more exits.
Outside of cellar windows, box-like forms of brick or wood, extending about one foot beyond sides of window frames, filled with sand afford protection.
Equip with cots or steamer chairs. During raid lie prone. Sleep is a necessary factor both for morale and defense production. After a raid or two, a sort of fatal- ism is developed and you will sleep.
Arrange toilet facilities behind screen.
Have a thermos bottle of water, hot tea or coffee. Have concentrated food, chewing gum, lemon drops, a few bars of chocolate.

An extension to your telephone is wise. (If trapped, with phone disconnected, signal by tapping. Yelling does little good.)
Have games and some form of amusement for both children and adults. Amusement is good for nerves. Provide other comforts desired.
Incendiaries
The first wave of planes frequently drop incendiaries. One bomber can carry 1000 incendiary bombs of the thermite type. Dropped in sticks each is about one foot long and weighs approximately two pounds. It serves several purposes: i. e., to cause large conflagrations, destroy, kill and injure by fire and flame, furnish illumination for direct hits by dive bombers to follow, and force people into the open. Thermite burns for about two minutes at a heat of approximately 5000 degrees, igniting magnesium which burns for about fifteen minutes at a heat of approximately 2500 degrees.
Observe these instructions carefully, and memorize: DO NOT THROW WATER ON AN INCENDIARY BOMB. WATER WILL CAUSE IT TO EXPLODE. EXPERTS USE A FINE SPRAY, BUT NEVER A STREAM. USE DRY SAND.
When sputtering has died a little, approach closer and try to get sand UNDER the brand fragments. USE CARE. THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH WILL BURN THRU SKIN AND BONE. Its light is very bright. If you have sun glasses or ski-goggles, wear them. Incendiaries will burn through metal.
Fragmentation Bombs
Small fragments of metal are hurled a radius of approximately one-half mile with twice the speed of a rifle bullet, or 5000 to 7000 feet per second. Your safest position is prone.
High Explosives
The primary purposes are to demolish buildings and cause walls to fall out on streets blocking traffic; to break water mains, gas mains, sewer mains, electric wires; destroy morale, create confusion, disorder and panic. Killing and injuring is secondary.

AIR - RAID PRECAUTIONS
Aerial mines are supported by parachutes and descend at a relatively low speed. The mine has a number of sensitive fuses scattered over its sides de- signed to explode instantaneously upon slightest touch of any of these fuses to wire, tree branch, side of a building or similar contact.
Demolition bombs have delayed action fuses and are designed to pierce roofs and floors of buildings before exploding inside of those buildings.
Armor piercing bombs are used against specific tar- gets and require direct hits to cause the greatest damage.
Chemical shells, when used on civilian population- cities-will no doubt contain vesicants-Mustard and Lewisite-as the purpose of such an attack will be to cause casualties. The other gases being lighter than air will only harass or impede.

THE STORY OF EUCLID
BY ROBERT E. PARRISH, HISTORIAN, EUCLID POST 343
THE early history of Euclid is closely knit with events of the New England territory of the 17th Century, particularly the area later known as Con- necticut.
An English patent granted to the New England proprietors in 1620 included land ranging almost from Philadelphia to a point beyond Montreal.
The Dutch, who were the first to explore the Connecticut region, built a fort in 1633 which they called the "House of Hope." They purchased the site from the Indians, and it later became the present city of Hartford. When the English at- tempted to settle there that same year, war seemed imminent. Settlement finally was made by the sale of the fort to the New England proprie- tors, and Connecticut freely opened to the New Englanders.
Windsor, previously established by the English as a trading-post; Saybrook and Hartford threw off the New England government in 1637, and were joined the next year by New Haven.
Until 1661-62, the settlements of the Connecticut area were practically independent. In 1662, how- ever, Governor John Winthrop returned from Eng- land with a new charter granted by Charles II, and soon all the settlements were united under one government.
The charter gave to Connecticut a strip 60 miles wide extending westward to "the great southern ocean," or the Pacific. The portion in Ohio was more than 3,600,000 acres and still is known as the Western Reserve.
However, the lands embraced within the pres- ent boundaries of Cuyahoga County had previous claimants. They were claimed by the English by reason of Cabot's discovery of North America in 1497, and Virginia claimed title by reason of the charter granted by King James I in 1609. They were claimed by the French by reason of exploration, occupancy and settlement by Le Caron in 1616; by Marquette in 1668 and by La Salle in 1669. French rights were ceded to England in the Treaty of Paris in 1764. Virginia ceded her claims, except for a small reservation in Southern Ohio, in 1784, a year following Eng- land's relinquishing title to the U. S. in the Final Treaty of Peace in 1783.
Adding to the cloudiness of Connecticut's title was the action of King Charles, who ceded the same territory brought back by Governor Win- throp in 1662, to his brother James, Duke of York, two years later. The Connecticut Colony promptly hid their document in the hollow of a tree which was famous afterward as the "charter oak."
In 1786 the State of Connecticut surrendered this practically unknown territory of the Northwest to the United States Government.
Title to the vast area of the Western Reserve was purchased in September, 1795, by a group of land speculators known as the Connecticut Land Company, at forty cents an acre. The sale was made upon credit, supported by bonds and personal notes.
General Moses Cleaveland, of Canterbury, Conn., was one of seven directors. Commissioned by his fellow speculators to deal directly with the Indians, he left with a party of fifty surveyors and helpers, and by July 4, 1796, the group had reached Conneaut Creek, Ohio.
Cleaveland pressed westward with a portion of his men to establish the Capitol of New Con- necticut at Cleveland, and reached the Cuyahoga River on July 22nd.
Here word reached him that dissatisfaction ex- isted back in the group left at Conneaut, who de- manded higher wages, and threatened a form of mutiny. Cleaveland, doubtless without author- ity, made an informal agreement to divide land east of Cleveland among forty-one men at a cost of one dollar an acre.
The township to be created was to be known as Euclid, in honor of the "Father of Mathematics" and the Patron Saint of all surveyors. The agree- ment stipulated that eleven families would build homes in 1797, with two acres of wheat to be sown around each house. Eighteen additional families would build in 1798, and sow five acres of wheat. In 1799, twelve additional homes were to be built and eight acres of wheat were to be sown.
With Seth Pease, Astronomer and Surveyor, Chairman, and Moses Warren, Clerk, the forty-one proprietors went immediately into session. At this meeting it was decided the duties of settling would be assumed by Seth Pease and ten others in 1797; by Moses Warren and seventeen others in 1798 and by Amos Spafford and eleven others in 1799.
One of the first settlers was David Dille, who built a log cabin in 1797 in the vicinity of what is known as Dille Road. In 1836 the log cabin was replaced by the Dille Home, a large resi- dence of Colonial architecture.
