 Tt is more important, in many ways" Mfr. Curtain said, "that the outlying districts, and dark streets should benefit from this move % aS to afford protection to women war workers returning home on late busseg."
 W. T. Jesb, manager Of the local branch of the Connecticut Light e Power O., could not Do reached today for any further information as to the removal of the shades.

O'Rourke, chairman Of the local black.out and dirnout committee ex- pressed his pleasure and commended the past cooperation of the store owners in observing the ban.
 The lifting of the ban likewise means that residents of the city need no longer draw thier shades at sun-down, and that motorists may now remove the shades CT their headlights. Store lights and adver- tisements will again be illuminated and theater marquees will again flash their announcements The expected reaction was best summed Up by the statement that i've will all prcb- ably feel like moleS coming back to light"

 Warning
 However, authorities warned ai1 cities now subject to the dim-Uat @ be ready to plunge their communi- ties back into darkness if ordered to do SO by their respective sea frontier commanderS. Such orders would be issued only on the resump- ton of coastal U-boat activity.
 Dimcut regulations were imposed first in the California section of the west coast under the threat both of Japanese submarine activity and of enemy air attack. Later they were extended to other Pacific areas, then to the gulf and east coasts.
