Sound Air
Raid Siren
Wednesday

Cuyahoga County's air raid
sirens will sound their first test
warning in the Hydrogen Age
Wednesday, May 5th at 2 p. m.
The Wednesday afternoon test
at begins with the wailing three
minute "Red Alert" meaning "im-
mediate attack expected" After
ten minutes of silence, the all
clear "White Alert" will sound its
three steady one-minute blasts,
each separated by two minutes of
silence.
County Civil Defense Coordin-
ator John J. Porkorny, announcing
the 18th test of the network, called
the system "of priceless value" in
the light of recent disclosures con-
cerning thermonuclear weapons.
"The threat of Hydrogen war
fare makes it extremely important
that every person know exactly
what the sirens sound like, and
what they mean, if we are to
make full use of the precious
minutes of warning available" he
said.
Remember, if you hear the
sirens at any time other than a
test, they still mean only one
thing-take shelter immediately"
the Coordinator cautioned.
Pokorny warned that no evacua-
ton will be possible until the early
warning system is completed and
large sudies of transportation,
supply, housing, and many other
local problems are finished. "To
try to run now would expose US
not only to the bomb, but to the
deadly panic which can make us
destroy ourselves" he said.
GAS a public service, your news
paper is printing the Alert Card
which appears with this article. 1t
tells you exactly what the siren
signals sound like, what they mean
and what to do when you hear
them. Study them now. Be pre-
pared.
