Mx. Johnson that in the event of a vacancy to be filled, his
name must appear on the eligible list provided us by the State
Merit System before we could consider his employment. It is
important to know that eligible lists provided us by the
Merit Syeten Guntess Ghly Thess HES CHAS Geet The sueleeee

In the event of a nuclear attack upon this nation, our
staff would become operational and of prime importance to the
welgare of this City and County. it is for this reason that
many Civil Defense organizations will not hire staff members
that have military obligations. However, the fact Mr. Johnson
is a momber of an active Reserve Unit has not had any bearing
on his eligibility for employment by this office. As stated
before, we select employees from the top three names on a
Merit System list of eligibles that meet the qualifications
of the position that is open.
