Two groups of Civilian De-
fense workers, the first aid
corps and the nurses aides,
will wear arm bands in the fu-
rure, II was decided by the
Council. During recent air raid
tests, the criticism was offered
that the first aid workers we're
not distinguishable from other
civilian defense volunteers, and
that some insignia should be de-
vised whereby this group, and
the nurses aides would be cas-
lily recognizable. The arm bands
are being made by Mrs. Grant
Garis, and will be white with
red cross. Two first aid
workers will be assigned to each
air raid post during the next
test raid, the Council announ-
ced.
A test air raid warning will
be sounded tonight, Mayor R.
F. Corley, chairman of the
Civilian Defense Council has
announced. This is part of the
tests being carried OUT thru
the states of Delaware, Penn
sylvania and Maryland. The
practice blackout will follow
this schedule: Blue signal at
$50, Red signal at 9:l0, Blue
signal at 9:20 and All Clear
at $3.50. This test will require
the full mobilization of all civil
ial defense workers. The Mo-
tor Corps will wear their new
ly acquired uniforms. The Blue
signal will be a continuous long
blast, the Red signal a series
of short blasts, and the All
Clear as stated above. The all
clear will be sounded from the
Welfare Home only. The siren
in Smyrna will not be blown
at the all clear.
