AIR RAID WARNINGS
NEW ARRANGEMENT MADE AVOIDANCE OF INTERFERENCF. (United Press Asn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Sept. 10 A new arrangement has been made about air raid warnings, which are to be regarded in the future by industrial workers as a sign to be alert, but not an alarm. This is to avoid all but a minimum of interference with industry and production. Essential work is only to be stopped when special warnings are given by watchers on rooftops. The risk involved will be reasonably small, as precautions will be taken to ensure that there is an air raid shelter near the place of work. The aim is to maintain maximum industrial output consistent with the greatest possible protection of the workers concerned. The new system will remove the disadvantage of frequent sounding of sirens. Many people will already have adapted themselves to a somewhat similar arrangement in their private affairs to prevent prolonged interruption in their work.
