NEW BLACKOUT SYSTEM WORTHY
Town Gets Yellow Signals Three Minutes Faster
 Than Previous Method

Naugatuck, Nov. 1T-Harold R. Perry, commander of the Nauga- tuck Citizens Defense corps. an- nounced today the success of the new system of relaying blackout signals by police teletype. The new system resulted in Naugatuck getting the yellow signals three minutes faster than in the previous system.
 Formerly the signal was relayed from Waterbury by telephone, 1t took four to five minutes. Last nights signal wes received in two minutes from Hartford, MT. Perry said. H
 The yellow signal was received here at 8:29 and the all clear was sounded at 9:12. The red signal lasted only 10 minutes.
 Only 12 out of 30 incidents plan ned were reported by wardens here, MT. Perry said. He estimated about half of the local air wardens unit were on the job.
 MT. Perry estimated about four persons failed to turn out lights in their home, these being mostly in in the outside areas, he said.
 The blackout was pretty good" [, he added. He said the number of incidents will be reduced in future tests. All of the headquarters crew was on hand in plenty of time, he said.
 Local blackout signals are sound- ed through an electrical system operated from the police station.
 The Hartford headquarters check ed by phone a few minutes after each teletype message to make sure 1t had been received.
 The local police for the first time last night were required to relay the teletype message by phone to Beacon Falls, which in the past has received its signals from Water bury.
