On re-ceipl of the red Hatch the air raid siren will again atari Mounding but thin time with a wave like or fluctuating aound. This signal will continue for ?even minutes and mean* that all traffic must come to a standstill and all lights must be extinguished. The only exception in the matter of lights applies to those on essential cars permitted to operate in a black out and they must be on a low beam, providing that the headlights are not equipped with the regulation black-out equipment. The regulations occasioned by the red flash will continue in effect until the sound of the second blue alarm, which, like the first blue alarm will be a steady sounding of the sirens for two minutes. When thlB Becond blue alarm sounds all automobile traffic may proceed by still having lights under dim-out conditions. Lights In buildings and other places are not to be turned on until the street lights are turned on and the resumption of normal ac tlvlties Indicates that the all-clear has been given. As yet no formal signal has been arranged to announce the all-clear but as indicated this would be revealed in a night air raid alarm by the turning on of the street lights. j Many Attend Meeting I Over one hundred members of the Civilian I>efense Corps attended the meeting held in the grammar school auditorium Tuesday evening.

LETTERS TO *#/. // from Her D*d Dear Mlml: Camden U really a great place Remember, I have lold you about the , famous Revolutionary Rattle of Camden? I've Just read a (o?pn (\cBsi*e i discourse on the subject by ~Sk pper" Heath. Very mteijri>ung and enlightening. This ia possibly the oldest of the mid-South re?orta. In more normal times there would be horse r*c:ng, j polo playing and a variety of other ; sports at this season. Rut the war,i with its accompaning transportation | difficulties has almost crippled this j life of Riley" that Daddy liken so | well to be Just on the outskirts of j There are horses here, though?not , so many as usual. 1 wish you were ! here to see the funny little fellows j ?Just a little bigger than your are? j with high heeled shots just like your j mother's?that you frequently eneoun tfr on the streets. These midgets. that scarcely weigh a hundred pounds j ?re the joekies who ride the famous Bleeds on the race course and In the steeplechase. Many of them are English and Irish. One can hardly understand their mixture of dialect, race track and horse lingo. But they're a great bunch and can tell some tall tales. I'm staying in the home where the monied "Barnie" Baruch first saw the light. Maybe this will bring your Old Dad some luck. Running a small newspaper isn't as easy a job as you might think. Remember, at the Observer I had Just one Job to do. Well, here on The Chronicle I am becoming a "Jack of all Trades." The duties of a country editor range from writing editorials, gathering news and selling advertising space, to casting mats and feeding the cylinder press on the day of publication. But, with it all. I'm liking it better every day. It would be hard to tell you just how hospitable and cooperative the people of this community are. You'll Just have to come down here to see. This is the garden spot. Since it looks like my time is going to be awfully limited I have decided to write you every week?well, almost every week?through the columns of The Chroniicle So long until next Friday. Love, Your Dad P. S.?Tell all the guys and gals that my address is Camden.
