List, I am back from my five week trip to Pa. and have picked up something that might be of interest to the people on the list. I will be posting them from time to time. Dee in FL. Monessen Daily Independent -- Monday Evening March 16, 1942 Blackout Timetable Here's how Monessen's first test blackout tonight will work: At 9:10 the alert signal will be received from the control station. This is to start the mobilization of the defense unit. At 9:18 the warning of danger to all posts. Traffic will be stopped. Street lights will go out. Everyone but defense officers get off streets At 9:25 whistles will blow the signal warning. The blackout is on. At 9:30 the blackout must be complete, with no sign of light. At 9:45 o'clock the all clear signal will be sounded. Special precautions: Don't use telephones between 9:15 and 10:30 p.m. Civilian Defense service will be making heavy use of the phone facilities, and they must also be available for other possible emergency calls during this time. Control your dog. I am happy to say that the next day's paper said the black out was a complete success.
