Governor Asks Civil Defense Volunteers Maryland Governor Theodore McKeldin appeals for volunteers for the state's civil defense program. He sits at a desk and speaks earnestly to the camera; his accent is a little unusual. He appeals on the basis of patriotism and tells cinema viewers that they can pick up application forms in the lobby of the theater. "You are needed now!" A Cold War version of "Uncle Sam Wants You."
