COMPLETE AS POSSIBLE
The blackout will be as near
complete as possible. All street
lights as well as home, store and
sign lights will be turned off.

will continue to flash in Detroit,
however. because the WPB has
continued to refuse Detroit prior
ity request for 1900 switches to

of the Detroit OCD.
Under state blackout laws,
railroad lights, airway
beacons or obstruction lights,
navigation lights and

the test blackout.
Armament plants also again
will be permitted to remain
lighted if the blackout would in
