For Co-operation: Will Hold Another Test Soon

SEARCHLIGHTS WILL NOT BE USED AS WARNING SIGNAL IN EMERGENCY ·

Speaking over Z.B.W. last night on their impressions of the 5 "black-out", test on Thursday night, both: Wing Commander A. H. St Steele Perkins, Air Raid Precautions Officer, and Colonel N. M. S: Irwin, D.S.O., M.C., General Staff Officer (1), remarked that the "black-out" was a great success, the A.B.F. Officer expressing cordial thanks to everyone concerned for their hearty co-operation.

Wing Commander Steele-Perking stated that very few wenkzes « were found and perhaps the greatest of all was the failure of a mi minority of motorists to dim their lights. He announced that it wis hoped that another "black-out" will be held next month.

Colonel Irwin said that as regards the warning signal the experi- ment was an entirely new ̈one. As carried out on Thursday night in a bright moon, said Col. Irwin, it might safely be said that the searchlights were not a success and, in any case he would make it clear. that they will not be available for that purpose in an emergency.
