Warning signals were held ; in the State last week for| ball except the, Asheville dis-| • ’ triet, comprising far-wes-! ■ tern counties coming under j i the Charleston Air Warn-i I ing Region. The practice blackout for! the district off the Wilming ton Region was held on the night of Feb. 28 and the. blackout for the districts of the Norfolk Region on the i night of Ifob. 25. Both were . semi-surprise in nature, the I ‘ time having been announ ced only as between the dates of Feb. 22 and 2(1. As expected, performan ce;-was not perfect. The tests revealed that the pub lic and the Defense Corps do some extent was not fully familiar with the new | signals, and the State Of fice decided immediately that another practice shouk Id be held as soon as possi ble with the time announ ced in advance. With the benefit of the experience in the first tests and additional material which has been published and broadcast, it E expected -that -a~. mueh-j better showingwill be! made, and that with possi-j Bly one more practice drill, the entire State will be in readiness for total surprise) ■ —. — _ % Capt. Laughrun of U. S. Medical Corps Given Recognition Designs and Constructs Hospital Unit Ca m p Bowie, Texas, March 6.—Capt. William A. Laughrun of the loth Field Hospital, Camp Bowie, Texas, who formerly ojvn ed and operated a hospital in Forrest City, Arkansas, has designed and supervis ed the construction of op erating rooms for field use to be 'set inside the regular G. I. surgical tent. Where previously operations in the field w r ere conducted in huge tents, now these same i operations can be conduct ed im, private, sanitary rooms which are equivalent to operating rooms of the best city hospital's. : The,, entire structure, 1 j which fits snugly into thq tent, includes two opera ling rooms and two scrub rooms. Captain Laughrun claims, four technicians can j prepare these rooms or dis mantle them in twenty minutes. Since two surg ery patients can be hand led in one room at one time, a total of four pati ents can be operated on at once; All the operating equip ment is the best the gov-! ernment can provide and Captain Laughrun’s main contribution is the assem blage of this equipment in to an organized unit by ■ /• . NUMBER THIRTY-TWO •E— - - ''' j drills to be called by the ! Army. Next Blackout J The schedule for the next practice blackouts is | as follows: March 16, Asheville War jning District only. March 18, All Districts lof Wilmington Warning' | Region. March 19, All Districts of the Norfolk Warning Region. The time for the prac tice blackouts will be uni form in all the' districts and will be as follows: Yellow 8:35 p. m.; Blue 1 8:50 p. m.; Red 9:00 p. m.; Blue 9:10 p. m.; White 9:22 ip. m. Preparation In order to help the civi lian population to become familiar with the new sig nals, w hich in'reality grea tly simplify things by pro viding a period of blackout during which traffic may move both before and after j the absolute blackout in ef fect during period of act ual raid, 30,000 posters ex plaining the new procedure are distributed thro ughout the State, and news papers and radio stations are cooperating by giving - information on the subject,, - Know Your District ! Since the ALL CLEAR or WHITE signal is no lon ger given by the public j (Continued on back page) j adding cloth partitions. “Anything a hospital can handle w r e can handle in ’ the field,’’ Capt. Laughrun said, and duplicate hospital j conditions relative to clean liness and efficiency. The added structure fits into a bag eight feet long and twelve inches around arid | can be set up in sections as required. Capt. Laughrun’s unit looks like a modern hospi tal, feels like a modern hos pital—and is a modern hos pital. Prior to the time Capt. Laughrun owned and operated his own hospital in Forrest City, Ark., he was Chief Surgeon for ;< a coal company in HarlhST" County, Ky., 1 where he set up Field Hospitals to take care of miner’s injuries. It was his work there that gave him an insight into field hospital problems and the needs of injured men. Capt. Laughrun was [commissioned in June, 1942 Earlier in his career he at tended the University of Lounsville, Louisville, - Ky., and later Tulane at ' New Orleans, La. He is the son of Mrs. J. J. Laughrun of i Burnsville, N. C. ! Capt. Laughrun’s wife, Hattie Black, lives in For rest City, Arkansas. He has four children, Sally Black, 2; Tommy Lou 4; Lynn hartt, 6; and Billy 8. * ■■ I ■ ■■ '
