THE CHOWAN HhKAU* EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY. MARCH 4, 1943
Blackout Test in
Edenton Proves To
Be Very Successful
Little Confusion as New
System of Signals
6 Is Used
i —, —
Benefitting by reported confusion
1 in previous blackouts held in other
towns in the State, Edenton and
’ Chowan County’s test black-out last
Thursday night was almost perfect,
' according to E. W. Spires, chairman
of the Chowan County Civilian De
' sense Council, and West Byrum, vice
chairman. Both were delighted with
’ the success of the blackout and were
high in praise of their crops of work
ers, as well as citizens generally for
the splendid manner in which they
’ cooperated.
In only one instance did the black
out bog down and that was the fail
ure ol the district office in Elizabeth
: City to notify the State Highway
, radio station at Williamston so that
State patrolmen could me informed
that the blackout was in progress.
At the Edenton headquarters Leroy
Haskett, assistant to Mr. Byrum,
again officiated at the telephone and
with a marked degree of dispatch he
received and reported information
coming in from the various sectors, as
| well as contacted others where minor
l ■ irregularities were reported during
• J the b’ack-out and in each case the j
i guilty parties were promptly notified j
s and immediately complied with the re
quest to put out the lights.
Only one report was received-that
a light was burning after the sound ]
of the second blue alarm, which wasj
! where confusion resulted in other
communities. This warning is in
-1 tended in event any planes are ex
pected to return, and is not to be
( mistaken for the all clear signal.
’ The latter is made known when street
I lights are turned on.

] o’clock. At that time any com- ]
plaints as to the valuation of proper-1

sidered bv the Commissioners. Everv
how and then during the year some
j one appears before the Cbmmission
| ers asking for a reduction in valua
] tion. but the day designated is for]
that particular purpose and those who I
| expect to secure an adjustment must ]
] present their claims on that day.

Mr. Haskett has been a big factor
in the organization of the air raid
wardens and has worked tirelessly in
bringing this outfit up to its present
state of efficiency. Moreover, Mr.
Haskett is a mighty busy man at
headquarters during a blackout. He
receives all messages from the sec
tor wardens at the 11 posts through
out the county and transmits orders
to them from various keymen at
headquarters and is doing a fine job
of it.
Since the last issue, the emergency
utility committee, headed by R. N.
Hines as chief, has submitted the
following list of its personnel: T.
Wallace Jones, Clarence Spruill, J.
W. Floars, Robert Gray, Kenneth N.
Floars, C. H. Hollowell, Thomas Wil
liams, C. H. Russell, Harry Lee
Spruill and Simual Johnson.
Due to a number of the members
having joined the Home Guards,
some changes and additions have !
been made. Roy Leery and O. E.
Duncan have been assigned to Sector
No. 1, under J. Clarence Leary,
Warden.
S. S. Campen and John Albert
Holmes, Jr., aie assigned to Warden
G. B. Potter, Sector No. 3.

Roger Haskett, W. E. Given and
William Stokely are assigned to Sec
tor No. 4, under J. Paul Holoman as
Warden.

are assigned to Sector No. 6, under
R. W. Carden, Warden.
Miss Helen Goodwin has become a
member of the Headquarters Staff
and acts as secretary to the Defense
Corps.
In the Auxiliary Foremen Unit,
Erie Harrell has been assigned to the
Fifth Fire Ward Sector under Cap
tain Thurston Stallings. J. H. Bas
night was assigned to Captain A. S.
Hollowell in the Second Fire Ward
