Defense Boards Preparing For Blackout Test Cape May’* civilian dAe forces this week joined those of other communities throughout the state in preparation for the practice blackout, covering the entire state, which wm be held ■ometime during the week of Hay 31-June 6. Harry H. Neuberger, director at civil protection of the New Jersey Defense Council, who has charge of the preparations, said that all local chairmen and other officials of local defense councils have been notified that every precaution must be taken to insure against injury and accidents during the all-state blackout. “Accidents- can and must be avoided,’' he said. “They can be only if officials understand and obey instructions and see to it that the public and members of the protective forces do the same.” The warning will be given in the usual manner. Virtually the same rules and regulations will apply during the blackout test aa prevailed during the sectional blackouts during AD traffic will be halted, with the exception of doctors and nurses on calls, mail and postal inspectors, fire and police cars, public utility repair crews, clergymen traveling to give spiritual aid and units of the Army, Navy and

Marines.

All other cars will be ordered to pull to the side of the road, turn out lights and remain immobile until the “all dear” signal is given. Neuberger said the test will be longer than the 15 minutes duration of previous tests. He refused to disclose, however, how long it would last.

Chief air raid wardens have been notified that they must immediately arrange to have post and sector wardens prepare weekly schedules so that posts and sectors will be manned on short notice at any time of the day or night. During the practice blackout air raid wardens will be required to see that all lights on their posts are out They were warned, however, that they are not to break windows to extinguish the lights. Citizens, Neuberger said, must he instructed to turn out all lights in 'their homes when leaving if they expect to be away during hours or darkness. Night lights in stores, gasoline stations, road stands, office buildings and outside sign illumination must be extinguished when the last person leaves the premises every night unless an outside switch has been Installed for use of the air raid warden or police reservist. Until the time of the practice blackout, air raid wardens, finding lights on in business premises and no way of turning them off and no one on the premises shall call the proprietor and have him come to the store and turn them

off.

All plants on war production are requested to put into effect as much of a blackout as possible without endangering their equipment, but they are not to stop operations. Plants were warned against pulling th ■witch unless precautions against sabotage have been taken. External lights that will not affect production should be turned off. Traffic coming into the state during the test will be subject to the same regulations as that already in the area.

keep it filled. The day may come When coal will be pretty hard to Cet” Such is the warning sounded by otm of this city’s lending coni dealers, Ralph T. Stevens, of the Cape May Coal and Ice Co., authorized distributor of Famous Reading Anthracite. "1 don’t wish to be an alarmist, but a coal shortage is a distinct possibility,” Mr. Stevens said. "Drastic restrictions on fuel oil are already in force and even more stringent regulations are almost sure to follow. Why should .coal escape eventual rationing? “As a matter of fact, the government has already issued a warning that increasing war effort is likely to interfere seriously with transportation of coal and is urging that householders lay in sufficient coal to last them through next fall and winter. We should be very shortsighted indeed if we failed to heed these storm signals. "Personally I am advising my customers to buy as much coal as they can -conveniently store and to keep replenishing this Stock as they draw on it *— current heating needs. “Many householders who now bum oil are very wisely installing coal grates in their furnaces. In moat cases this can be done at moderate cost. Aside from the matter of self protection, every citizen who buys his coal now, ia doing just that much toward relieving the railroads of unnecessary burdens this summer, and ia materially aiding the nation’s war effort.”
