Photograph caption dated December 22, 1961 reads "A personal interest." The article partially reads "Mrs. Alice E. Thomas, newly appointed assistant deputy in charge of women's activities for civil defense in Los Angeles, has a personal interest in her new task. 'I have four youngsters,' the Pacoima woman says, 'and I want to know what precautions can be taken to protect them in time of emergency. I'm sure other mothers feel the same way.'"
