Staff Huddles In Darkness Thru Phony Blackout
Wednesday night, the Hurricane staff was more than usually confused. Working on the paper at the print shop, the staff was interrupted by blackout sirens thrilling from the police station two blocks away.
Remembering the words of their air raid wardens, the Hurricane crew doused the print shop lights and tripping over linotype machines, presses, typewriters, ric, congregated in one dark spot of the shop.
Änd there’s where they remained for over an hour. Outside, the street lights were on full force, cars were «rising around with their headlights as bright as ever,
and from up the street a n imber of lighted buildings could be seen.	*
The staff was confused. i'They had heard no “alldear” signal. Yet, there wpre lights on all over. So, one of the reporters called; the police station to get the “lowdown.” Before she had a chance to explain why she was calling, the policeman was bawling her out for using the phone duiing a practice blackout.
The confusion went on. The staff almost came to blows debating whether to Turn the lights on.
Around eleven o’clock, ou< of the staff braved the
storm and went to the air raid wardens’ center. The raid had been over for an hour, he was told.
Sitting in the dark print shop, the staff felt gloomy. A fine thing it’s be if we had a real raid now, they agreed.
There must have been a lot of other people who were confused Wednesday night. According to the daily papers, the residents of Miami didn’t know a thing about the blackout.
Personally, we’d take cover in the Everglades with the alligators and mosquitoes rather than sit through an air raid in Miami.
