The lunch hour today was inter

Nome School was being tested
under the direction of Les Bron

This new siren is operated from
the Fire Station and goes off sim
ultaneously with the downtown
siren and should be heard in ev
ery part of town.
Civil Defense Chairman L. D.
Bronson and Police Chief W. W.
Laws would appreciate having
anyone who did not hear the test
call in, as it was an excellent
time for testing due to the fact
that there was no wind.
