IN SHORT, the sound warnings for an air raid will comprise such intensive and continuously inter mittent blowing of whistles and soundings of sirens that all Dauphin county residents, within hearing distance, will almost instinctively realize that an air raid is imminent. GENERALLY, AIR RAIDS HAPPEN AT NIGHT CONSEQUENTLY, no lights from the ground should serve as beacons to enemy planes. STREET LIGHTING will be extinguished; plans for such action are already made.

STORE LIGHTING AND ELECTRIC SIGNS must be extinguished. ALL HOUSEHOLD LIGHTING must be extinguished, unless, in one room, complete blackout curtains for doors and windows prevent even a small beam of light being visible from outdoors. FLASHLIGHTS must not be used out of doors nor outside of rooms completely curtained for blackouts. AIR RAH) WARDENS, in the various districts, will immediately go into action with definite authority. Become acquainted with the warden in your district.

AUTO DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS should leave the cars at the curb' and extinguish all lights on the vehicles. ALL PERSONS EXCEPTING THOSE ON OFFICIAL AIR RAID DUTY must leave the streets.
