The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-09-03

watertown, September 3, - Inc cluded in the A Connecticut towns which underwent a test blackout last night, watertown was in dark ness from $50 o'clock until about 9.20 o'clock. The local blackout was quite successful, although there were a few isolated houses in which lights were left on while the occu- pants were absent,
 Leaving lights burning in Q house from which the occupants are ab- ssent is absolutely a violation of the local ordinance covering blackouts, and vlolators are subject to fines, This ordinance is in effect con- stantly and for their own safety and that of their fellow citizens, all residents should be certain to turn out all lights not only in their homes but on their property when leaving the premises on any night,
 Numerous involved incidents" including fires, collapsed buildings, broken gas and water mains, fallen power lines, reported signaling from hill tops by Fifth Columnists, and injuries to air raid wardens, which necessitated aid from the medical unit, took place during the black out. Chief Air Raid Warden Stuart Atwood stated that as whole, the wardens did good job of report ing these incidents, although two of them went unreported and in one or two other instances there was confusion in the reporting, which was later cleared up.
 MT. Atwood also received reports of air raid wardens who were seen patrolling their sectors with lighted cigarettes and of some who used flashlights indiscriminately,
