Weather warning sirens to be tested at noon today
At noon Monday sirens all across Lawrence will blare their warnings.
It won't be doomsday. It will be the Lawrence and Douglas County Civil Defense testing the tornado and county alert warning system.
Noon on the first Monday of each month is designated as the test time for the sirens, Chuck Belote, director of the local Civil Defense, said yesterday.
The sires are tested, he said, because they are only machines and therefore failable. During the last test the siren atop Watson Library was defective.
The sirens, erected in 1972, are part of the North American Weather Alert System (NAWAS) a cooperative effort of the National Weather Service and Civil Defense.
All 50 states are connected by telephone systems with the North American Air Command at Cheyenne Mountain, Colo. Resources resources planning officer of the Kansas
Civil Defense Division. NAWAS is part of this system.
Kansas has about 30 extension connections across the state. Richardson said these extensions could be used for any kind of emergency.
The Civil Defense office in Topeka has a weather wheel that carries storm and tornado warnings.
Civil Defense notifies all towns in an area is placed under a weather warning. Richmond, Richland and
If the warning is for tornadoes near or in Lawrence, the Douglas County Sheriff's office contacts Belote. A squad of volunteer spotters, including sheriff's deputies, station themselves around town looking for funnel clouds.
If one is spotted and confirmed, Belote can sound the siren to warn Lawrence of an attack.
So if you hear the sirens splitting the silence, check your watch.
it's in the Monday, go on to class.
But if it's any other time, head for shelter.
City, county and state officials "turned a little dirt" Friday at groundbreaking ceremonies for the new $4.2 million Douglas County Judicial Law Enforcement Center.
The center will be located on a block in New Hampshire and Rhode Island streets.
Participants in the groundbreaking ceremony were Gov. Robert Docking; Walter R. Cragan, chairman of the Douglas County commission; Arthur Heck, county commissioner; I. J. Stoneback, county commissioner; Lawrence Lawrence, Kerr, Endeavor, Virgil Reeves, Baldwin mayor, and Raymond Hofferson, Leptonom mayor.
Speaking to a crowd of 200 spectators at the center site, Docking said the judicial center would be "a milestone for Douglas County, this area and the stateof Kansas."
"Four and a half million dollars is a lot of money, but I think it will certainly pay dividends in the long-range services," Docking said.
Ground broken for judicial center
Heck said the county had simply
outgrown the old courthouse at 11th and Massachusetts streets.
"We who have worked to get this project underway think that this total governmental complex will be very functional, very efficient, something that will serve the needs of the people of our county for many, many years to come." Heck said.
Stoneback said of the judicial center, a project he originally opposed, "I have seen, since taking office, crowded conditions in county offices in the present courthouse, and this new building will relieve those crowded conditions."
The two-story judicial center will house all jail and law enforcement groups in Douglas County and Lawrence. Completion of the center is scheduled for fall of 1976.
The first floor of the law center will have the county attorney's offices and six county and city courtrooms.
The second floor will house the county sheriff's department, the Lawrence police department, a jail, counseling rooms and an office for the director of court services, who

The balance of the money for the center's construction will come from Douglas Construction.
"That tore the house down," he said.
Winerock played in the smaller Carnegie recital hall, which has a capacity for 400 people. Winerock estimated that there were about 260 people and said that "were quite a big audience."
The problem of playing a concert and then leaving on the next plane, he said, is a loss of human contact. He prefers to get response from his audience.

Risk of epidemics reported rising

He said adults should continue taking
