wide program to salvage scrap metal
and other types of discarded material

BLACKOUT TEST
NEXT WEDNESDAY
.HSTATE-WIDE
Garrett COuntians Asked to CO.
operate in Dusk to Dawn Event
To Test States Efficiency

Upon the request and authority of
the First Fighter command, U. S.
Army, the entire State of Maryland
is observing a practice blackout dur
ing the night of July 1916, from dusk
to dawn, 900 P. NJ, on July Is, to
500 A. NJ, on July 16
This will be Garrett county's sec
ond blackout test and the third for
Oakland. Several weeks ago there was
a three-hour test which was consid-
cred most successful, and the coop
GRAFTON of the people is again being
asked in the Statewide event.
Air-Raid Test
During that night there will also be
an airraid warning test at an hour
to be designated, at which time street
lights and everything will be BACKED
out.
1t was emphasized that the sound
ing of the "all clear" will indicate
that the air-raid is over, but it does
not mean that the blackout is over,
as this will last until dawn.
Primary detectives are:
Mobilization and employment of all
units of the Citizens Defense Corps.
Testing the ability of the communi-
ties to conduct themselves normally
during blackout practice.
To test the ability of communities
to observe visible lighting and to
maintain normal activities during the
blackout conditions.
Test the ability of citizens generally
to cooperate promptly during an I'M
nounced air-raid test under blackout
conditions.
To test the adequacy of the warning
system.
Street lights and traffic lights will
not be turned off and vehicles will be
allowed to move with the down beam,
except during the AFRAID test of one
half hour. During that time no We
hicle will be allowed to operate except
those officially designated.
Residences, homes, stores, theatres,
apartments, hotels, all street and road
signs, public buildings, etc, will
blackout in conformity with the black
out rules.
Citizens are requested to comply
promptly and cheerfully with any in
structions received, and to keep off
the streets during the AFRAID test.
During the partial blackout they may
move about as normal.
Fire sirens and church bells will be
used in the various communities, as in
the previous blackout.
In Oakland the siren is used as one
continual blast, instead of the usual
change in pitch. Each Saturday at II
o'clock a test blast is made, lasting
for two minutes, and then after a
lapse of three minutes, the all-clcar
signal is given. The same system will
be used in regular blackouts. Because
of the test each Saturday the town
will discontinue for the time being the
regular test on Monday at noon.

Progress in Civilian
Defense 'Hearteninq,
Director Lands Says
Key to Organization Is
Local Council Setup,
City Officials Told
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-James M.
Lands, director of the Office of
Civilian Defense, said today that
the Nation was making "heartening
progress" in civilian defense.
Mr.. Lands, in an address to the
annual conference of the American
Municipal Association, said the key
to progress in every field of civilian
defense, whether it be protection
or mobilization, is the local defense
council.
"A program of civilian defense can
at least exist without the higher
echelons OF leadership represented
by State and Federal organization,
but without the local defense coun-
Gil, State and Federal authority is
useless. Everywhere throughout the
United States the touchstone to the
quality of any community perform
ance in civilian defense is the or
ganization and quality fthe local
defense council.
Cites Trained Personnel.
1T is heartening to see the prog
ress that has taken place in civilian
defense in recent months through
out the Nation. The training pro-
gram has now produced the larger
part of the needed personnel. It
has been wisely buttressed by a
series of field drills in communica-
tons, in control center operation, in
reporting and in the handling Of
war-stimulating incidents.
specialized training in protection
against gas, in bomb reconnaissance
work, in camouhage and in protec-
tive instruction have been made
available to thousands. The emer-
gency medical services have tight
ened their organization and expand
ed their operations so that they are in
a position to function effectively In
almost any emergency. Thor
ough and comprehensive plans for
evacuation are past the stage of
casual and haphazard thinking"
Some Improvement Needed.
There are still some phases Of
the program, however, in which
more effort is needed, the OCD chief
declared.
The great need in the field of
protection" he said, us better tech

use OF technical information. Com

shelter surveys have still to be
made In most Of our cites"
Many States, Mr.. Lands asserted,
have been slow to take the neces-
sary legislative steps to back up
defense authorities in their growing
responsibilities" and added:
Even today in State after State,
defense councils are financed with
niggardly funds from some con-
tingent executive reserve, and no
considered full-time budget has ever
bee nprepared."
Mr.. Lands said all the Nation
larger communities would be asked
this month to adopt the block plan
of civilian war service. Under this
program block leaders enlist every
family for active participation. He
said a similar plan would be set
up in rural areas.
