Defense Interest Renewed A renewed interest in civil defense classes has developed in Clovis, according to Civil Defense Williams, deputy, director in charge of training and education, said it is possible, two or three classes will be offered in the near future. "I haven't conferred with the superintendent of schools on this, but I will soon." Williams said. "We have about 30 teachers in the system who are capable of teaching the classes." In view'of the present world situation, Williams said he thought the classes would definitely be in line. The courses, which were given here a year' ago, cover survival, aid, food storage and other aspects of civil defense. Mack Ingle, civil defense director, said pamphlets on the subject will be available.
