Sedalia will be among the many cities within the nine states of the Seventh Defense region to join in an air raid warning test of signal devices this coming Saturday, at noon. Since it is only a practice raid, to acquaint the citizens with the different kinds of signals and their meanings, the test will be given during the day rather than at night. The next time the signals will be given, after Saturday, there will be a scheduled time on a week night. The third time, the week of the practice blackout will be known, but the actual night of the will come as a surprise to citizens, in order to test the knowledge and understanding of the signals in this district.

The fourth will come more as a surprise on the communities for only the month of the blackout will be given. The night during the month will remain secret until the signals or blasts will be heard. Meadow Gold, the Missouri Pacific and Missouri Kansas Texas railway whistles will be blown simultaneously, so that everyone in all parts of town will hear them. A long, steady blast of these whistles will be sounded for two minutes at 12 noon Saturday. This is a warning and means enemy planes are approaching.

Pedestrians may continue at this point, but vehicles, to continue, must do so under dimmed lights. Houses and buildings must be totally dark. Public transportation will continue. At 12:05 there will be short blasts of signal which means enemy planes are overhead and bombs may drop any second. Pedestrians take cover, vehicles stop, all lights are out, public transportation halts and passengers take cover.

Houses and buildings are blacked out. When the long blast at 12:10 is heard, it is the signal meaning that the air raiders have gone, but may return, SQ caution is continued as during the first signal. All Clear Signal No regional signal has been devised for the all-clear signal, but during a black-out, to indicate when the danger is completely over, in Sedalia, the street lights will be turned back on all over the town and the radio, which has been discontinued, will pronounce the termination of the blackout. The Civilian Defense committee in Sedalia is urging everyone to heed and learn the different signals. Although, the committee says, many persons in the middle- west feel as though the location of the states makes for perfect security, this is just what the enemy wants the and the whole believe.

A surprise attack is possible, the committee says. Colored posters will be posted in public places this week for persons to read and understand before the signal trials begin this Saturday. Religious Books At U. S. O.
