County residents who wanted to help defend the homeland during World War II were asked by the Westchester County Defense Council to complete questionnaires. The four samples shown here were by Bedford residents of widely varied backgrounds and interests. Philip Watts, a stockbroker with a degree from Harvard, was one of the founders of the Bedford Defense Unit, which numbered over 50 members. Mrs. A. M. Anderson, a housewife who was interested in camouflage, could speak French and owned a seven-passenger Cadillac. Mary Blazek was a student who was interested in first aid training, and Chris Shea described himself as a “handy all around man.”
