Last night the district head

sprang a double blackout maneu

After the alert signal, the dan

the return to alert status was
sounded and instead of the all-

danger signal came on again for
another complete blackout, which
means that in case of a real raid
the.enemy planes would have been
returning or there would have
been a new wave of bombers.
The maneuver was well carried
out here, in spite of the tact that
many people did not understand
