FOR CITY; READ THIS CLOSELY - IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE SOME DAY! The Local Defense Council has applied for an early definite date for a blackout to be held in Roa noke Rapids. Full details of the date decided upon will be an nounced In this newspaper at an early date, doubtless by next week. The following information is handed down by the Local Defense Council, and will be reprinted on a special bulletin and a copy dis tributed to every home owner in the territory, with the request that people post same in their homes in a conspicuous place for future reference! ___ Air Raid Warning Signal: Series of short blasts by all mill whistles for two minutes. All Clear Signal: One long blast by mill whistles for one minute. A Black Out signifies that all lights of any kind that may guide enemy bombers to inhabited areas or military objectives should be completely obscured. This includes street lights, automobile lights, ad vertising signs and lights from pri vate residences. The Roanoke ivapias htoi nmj be ordered by the Army to black out all night, every night for an indefinite length of time. THE FIRST TEST BLACKOUT FOR ROANOKE RAPIDS WILL BE WITHIN TWO WEEKS, the date to be announced in newspaper and radio. Therefore, prepare suitable living quarters or refuge rooms in your homes where lights can be left on and the normal family functions can continue during black outs. The purpose of a test black out is to test the effectiveness of your preparations so, don’t just turn off the lights and sit in the dark dur ing theee tests, but prepare cover ings for the doors and the windows of your refuge room in such a manner that no light is visible from the outside. Be careful in the o pening and closing of doors so that no light escapes. Remember—the tiniest light is visible from the air for miles. Windows should be covered on the inside with suitable materials such as: heavy black drapes, double thickness of blankets, plyboard, beaverboard, black oil cloth, card board or heavy paper. Your ma-. terial may be anything as long as it is dark, thick and absolutely opaque. AIR RAID Should an air raid come to Roa noke Rapids, you can do your part while protecting yourself. Remem ber these six simple rules: 1. Keep calm and cool. 2. Stay home. 3. Put out lights. 4. Lie down. 5. Stay away from windows. 6. Don’t telephone. Don’t run—walk. Don’t scream— be quiet. .Don’t crowd into public places. If the raid starts when you are away from home, lie down under shelter. Keep your mouth open by rolling your handkerchief and putting it between your teeth. Put your hands over your ears. Protect the back of your head. Don’t look up. In the house, go into your refuge room and close the door. Make yourself comfortable. Relax. If bombs fall near you, lie down. A good place is under a table with sturdy legs, or a strong couch turn ed upside down. Keep away from windows. Don’t look out Put out all lights you cannot closely screen, so no light reaches the street—the light that’s «ut or covered tight will never guide a Jap! If an incendiary hits your house, go put it out with a spray (never a stream, jet, or splash) of water. It will burn out rapidly under a fine water spray—a splash or stream makes it scatter molten metal. When it is out, go back to shelter. Appoint one member of the fam ily for your home warden to re member all rules. Mother makes the best! Stay quiet indoors or under shel ter till the "all clear” sounds. AIR RAID WARDEN Your Air Raid Warden brings you this leaflet so you may know what he or she can do to help you protect yourself in case of air raids. Your Warden is your friend. Wel come him—get to know him. He [ has some advice for you on which your life may depend! Do these things when the Air Raid Warden calls: 1. Have him meet every member of your family. 2. Tell him where you are to be found when you are away from home—where you work. 3. Tell him about any member of the household who is ill or handi capped. Tell him about all small children. 4. Show him the room you intend to use as a refuge room, ask his suggestions for fitting it up. Fol low them—he knows! 5. Show him where gas and elec tric shut-off switches are, in all buildings. 6. Ask him to point out good shelter in the neighborhood, should you be caught outdoors in a raid sometime. 7. Answer his questions—trust him; he is a sworn public official, and must know in order to pro tect you. 8. Carry out his suggestions for storing emergency water, sand, etc., cheerfully and promptly.
