sumed-a one.minute blast follow
ed by two minutes OF silence and
the same signal repeated ending in
q fnal one-minute blast.
In most cases, Leonard said. the
sequence will be blue-red-blue-
white, with a blue signal always
following a red. There will always
be a blue signal before the all
clear is sounded.
The final blue signal is the warn
ing for civilian protection forces TO
mobilize and for citizens TO black
out, with traffic dimming lights and
moving slowly.
At the sound OF No. 2 signal. all
lights must be BACKED out, pedes-
TRANS must take shelter, and all
traffic, except emergency vehicles,
must stop.
No. 3 signal authorizes person
to leave shelters and permits traf-
fc to resume slowly. Civilian de-
tense workers remain modified
and homes and business lights con-
tinue to be BACKED out.
At the all-clear, normal activity
Is resumed.
Early test trials will be held in
various parts OF the state. Leonard
said, urging everyone to acquaint
himself with the signals.

on Fine Arts For Study Club

At the Woman's study Club meet
ing wednesday at the Ladies Liter
AIRY Club house. Mrs. Luman Sea
mans gave a most interesting and
educational panel on Fine Arts. She
said. one OF the greatest needs OF
this country today is the need TO
preserve the best educational herr.
tages-the cultural arts. They have
as important a place today as they
have had in the lives OF other gen
erations, she asserted. In schools.
in clubs, churches and at home. art.
drama. music and creative writing
are needed today as never before,
Mrs. Seamans said.
Through the printed pages OF
literature, men and women OF the
past bequeath the heritage OF thei:
experience. Upon It We are building
our contributions of the present
The civilizations grow old, nations
perish, monuments fall. we have IN
fine arts a living record OF centur
les with ourselves adding to 1t.
The world has great need in
this year OF war and dictatorship
for those things that promulgate
peace. for after war comes peace,
she said.
Mrs. Seamans pointed out tha;
one must preserve the country 5
cultural agencies, the wisdom OF
the past, history, one OF the great
est heritages.
Looking through the poetry OF
the ages. we find it follows the
country's history she said. The
whole story Of our country can be
found in drama and in art. Howey-
er, there is no greater, no more I'M
pressive or more beautiful medium
OF expression than that OF poetry.
Wherever there is beauty there is
poetry and there is beauty in every
thing-in the setting sun, stars
ocean waves, in people. in a tree. ~
Here Mrs. Sesmans quoted Joyce
Kilmers poem. Trees
There is a movement throughout
the country felt mostly in the
schools. Mrs. Seaman said, a move
ment very vital to American democ'
racy. 1t is the movement to recog-
nize original contributions OF peo-
pie OF ther races. The negro race
has given one OF the greatest con-
tributions a race can give 10 its
