champion heavyweight mittster,
swung off Auburn road IN
which they were bound east 10
head south in Ryan road, halted
abruptly and doused their lights
when the deputy roared, stop
or I'll shoot"
He turned over his station to
the proprietor of an oil station
at the intersection shortly after
the blackout began TO drive 10
light half mile away in a
house owned by Peter Winner,
at 1922 Orchard street, in Ster-
ling township.
WHOLLY UNAWARE
Upon his arrival at the sher-
ifs office in Mount Clemens
Deputy Kandt was sent TO the
home of Fred Inman, 400 Fiji
teen-Mile road to find out why
the Inman lights had been burn
ing during the blackout. Inman
told Kandt that he didn't take
any newspapers, hadn't heard of
the blackout and was working
in his garden earlier in the eve
ming. The first intimation he
had of the event in progress was
when 1.-TWO guys came upon his
porch 10 tell him to turn out his
lights and he turned on the
porch light to see who they
were. Their he BACKED out
everything
In Mount Clemens the only
violation aside from those of
the man with the lighted car
and the Federal Radio Commits
sion, was an oil station that had
failed to switch off the light on
clock, of which no official
note was taken, being glimpsed
from a police patrol car, and
Waldo Pease, of the Veterans
Of Foreign Wars, apparently
out on patrol duty himself
poked his car down Broadway
with blackout lights burning.
HOSPITAL PREPARED
st. Joseph hospital, complete
~ BACKED out for the first time
got through the test in good
shape with no operations being
performed or infants arriving
during the event.
East Detroit reported two
very minor violations in resi-
dental areas where d e n e
workers had left night lights
burning when they turned in
for the night, and Roseville re-
ported 100 per cent effective
ness. Utica likewise was report
cd to have had a perfect score.
The high spot of the south
county blackout, aside from the
violations in st. Clair Shores
was the admirable record set by
Eastwood Park and Jefferson
Beach, two pleasure spots that
sthronged with h u a n d s of
merrymakers during the course
of the test. When night" fell
the crowds were orderly and
aside from the two boys Smok-
ing and the man leaving his
parked car agloW, the lighting
of matches by unidentified per-
sons who douSed them and hur-
riedly mingled with the crowd
at Eastwood was the only mis-
cue noted by observers.
Center Line epor G d its
blackout 100 per cent effective.
New Baltimore, New Haven,
and Washington reported 100
per cent effectiveness and at
Armada it was stated that the
only lights visible were the stars

Selfridge Field was BACKED
out with military police riding
close herd on minor violations.
Once more the report that a
plane would soar above the
blacked-out county proved to be
bust when inquiry at the Har-
/ tung Airport from which a Civil
P@trol plane was to have flown,
revealed that no such ship had
taken off.
A vast improvement in the
public's cooperation by refrain
ing to use telephones during
the test was noted, together
with a rush to talk it all over
the minute the all-clear sound

keeping phones in Mount Glenn
