His statement follows:
ITO attain complete blackout,
it is necessary that all lights that
can be seen from outside building
be either turned off or effectively
screened. A single light might
make a blackout completely inef-
fective.
1.-THE Naugatuck Defense Council
is following the same policy as that
in effect throughout the state in
requesting all merchants to shut off
all lights, including display lights,
advertising signs and night lights.
"Since it would be impossible to
be on hand soon enough to turn out
these lights at the sound Of the air
raid alarm, it is requested that no
lights be left on after the shop is
closed for the day.
This practice should be started at
once and be continued without ex-
ception for the duration of the war"

Front Line Soldier Cameramen
Shoot" Battle Action Photos
BY WILLIAM ii. BORING
NEA Service Staff Correspondent


Fort Monmouth, N. j.. Feb. 90
When Japanese bombers swooped
out of the skies on Hawaii, United
States soldier photographers swung
quickly into action. They were
ready, working right along with
ace cameramen, to shoot perhaps
the greatest war pictures of all time.
Americas dawn raid on the
Japanese-held Harshall and Gilbert
islands followed and again photog-
raphers, shooting shoulder-to-shoul-
der with Navy gunners, recorded
the daring and spectacular Sc
quences of the attack.
The camera has long been a
valued weapon in modern war
fare, for strictly military purposes,
such as reconnaissance.
But until the Germans utilized its
propaganda value by sending cam
era-equipped soldiers to the battle

CRACK ARMY SCHOOL
TRAINING RECRUITS
The u S. Army is organizing
Photographic companies throughout
the country, after training the SOL

news and color work.
Most of the soldiers entering the
Photographic school have had lens
experience and training in civilian

enters the Army with Photographic
experience has chance of landing
in one of the Photographic COM
