It seemed we were scolded when we had thought we had done pretty well and praised when we had pretty obviously done not too thorough a job. And some, I fear, never did get the simple signals straightened out. Once in a while, it even appeared that the officials were not quite clear in their own minds. And all this when it was only too passible, if not probable, that the Nazis might sneak over a couple of nuisance bombers to shake us out of our evident smugness. It just could never happen to us, who quickly forgot that a Jap sub did shell an empty West Coast dock.

When, in the early dim-out days, women as well as men wore white helmets and tramped bustling in to enforce1 the lighting regulations, an awful lot of thoughtless people were pretty annoyed. I am afraid that the public-spirited wardens took a considerable amount of uncalled-for abuse as they went about their volunteer duties.

They certainly did put on some swell blackouts, though. Currie will never forget the night he and Joe Guise drove down to the foot of Montague St. to watch Manhattan stage its first practice of total darkness. Naturally, one wouldn't; recall the still beauty of Brooklyn's, because one would be; In it. But this time you could have a look.

A couple of planes droned overhead and dropped orange flares. The 2nd Ave. kept going with lights, by permission, and the blue flashes from the sparks as the boots dragged along the third rail were magnificent. Sparsely-lamped tugboats looked like Christmas trees against the inky background. And there was that light high up in a skyscraper, left on to see if the wardens and cops were on their toes.

We do remember, all or us, the city-wide blackouts and the reaching fingers of searchlights, crossing each John Dwid Know Brooklyn Men Brooklyn Men Know C( Russeks ffi l'Z Mm i 1 I 'oV 1 p.

And all the while, the air wardens, Mr. and were out on the street, blowing their whistles, reminding the careless that an overlooked light in the bathroom was still on and the mean-spirited that this was not a game of blind Dian's buff. To be sure, the blackout always eemed to come when you had folks In for dinner.

And did you ever reach for a half-filled glass in the dark? Or quickly light a cigarette, with the street lights off? But the thing that always stumped tne was the lady air raid warden. She walked her beat, as brave as a lioness, defying the forces of darkness. The other day one of them dropped in. And confessed that now, with the street lights on, she is afraid to take the dog for a walk, once eventide melts into night. sr T' JC 11 lv All lrC LORSTAN'S They and the plane spotters who stood all-weather vigil (after studying hard from little colored identification cards in their spare time) deserve many, many thanks from the rst of us for (a) what they wwr I -V.
