BLACKOUT REPORTS

AS soon as all patrols have re-
turned to the sector post the sector
will report. by telephone, to Its
zone report center. The report
should be, for example, "A-22 COM
plete." These reports should be
made as soon as the sector is COM
pletely checked, and it is expected
that wardens will not wait until
the "all-clear" signal to make
this report. The exact time that
the report is made will be care
fully noted at the Zone Report
Center as one of the important
phases of the blackout test. This
will give us the information as to
the amount of time necessary to
check each sector. The report in
dicates only that a check has been
completed. A detailed report show
ing the particular causes of viola
ton as well as other required in
formation will be filed, in writing,
at the zone report center by each
warden in charge of a sector. The
Zone Warden will file with the
Chief Air Raid Warden COM
plete report of each sector in his
zone.

Rules For
Wardens
Chief Air Raid Warden
Curtin Issues Off
cial Procedure
d alta.

Instructions for air raid wardens
on procedure during the test black
out Sunday night were issued today
by Chief Warden James J. Curtin.
They are as follows
GENERAL
All air raid wardens viii be
alerted in the same manner as If
an actual raid were in progress.
1t is hoped that most air raid war
dens will receive preliminary
warning long enough before the
sounding Of the sirens to allow
them to report at their sector posts.
In any event, however, all air raid
wardens who, at the time OF the
sounding of the sirens are within
their sector. should report imme-
diately at the sector post. No steps
should be taken by an air raid
warden TO enforce blackout until
/ after the sirens sound. Then the
wardens assist in stopping traffic
and checking buildings for blackout
violations. All violations must be
reported to your sector warden
The cause of such violations should
be determined and the individuals
responsible instructed as to future
procedure so that the same mis-
take will not b. made in case of
an actual raid. In the event any
automobile driver refuses to stop
his car upon orders Of the air raid
warden. the air raid warden should
carefully note the license number
of the car and include that in his
report to his sector warden. This
| information will be turned over to
the police for investigation at a
later date. The air raid wardens
may carry flashlights of low IL
Illuminating power but the lens must
| be covered by, at least, two thick
nesses of newspaper. Flashlights
should be prepared in advance and
tested so that the amount of light
is cut down to a mere glow. Flash
lights should j.. be used sparingly
even after such preparations are
made.
1t is repeated that no flash lights
should be used in the open by
anyone except air raid wardens
and other duly authorized officials.

1t IS important that a check be
made in each sector by the warden
to ascertain if the siren is heard.

wardens in post headquarters
without opening windows or doors,
should also note it and In report

FIRES

AS stated In the "blackout" rules
firemen or auxiliary firemen will
guard each fire box to prevent the
ringing of false alarms. In the
event Of an actual fire during the
"Blackout" the fireman at the box
will permit the ringing of the alarm
in the normal fashion. Wardens
are instructed to obtain quickly the
location of the fire. type of build
ing, etc, and report to the Zone
Report Center in the manner in
which they would report in an ac-
tual raid. The timing of this report
will be carefully checked with the
Fire Department records.
