McClel lan, chairman of the Freeland De fense Council, said yesterday in discussing the Monday night air raid alert. The blue alert, which is the steady signal of the siren, means that planes are approaching.

Household lights must be extinguished as these would provide a steady "fix" for approach ing aircraft. Automobiles may move, but they must use their dim lights and proceed slowly. Pedestrians may stay on the streets, but they must be ready to take shelter at the sound of the red signal. The red signal, which is the wavering signal on the local siren, means aircraft are overhead. Household lights must remain extinguished; automobile traffic must stop, with the drivers and passengers taking and pedestrians must get off the street.

The sounding of the second blue signal after the red signal means that aircraft have left but may still be In the vicinity.
