Surprise Air Raid Drill Proves Successful in Ohio Counties
The daylight air raid drill last night caught Pomeroy and Middleport defense councils by surprise yet proceeded without incident. Pomeroy operators and supervisor George Smith were praised for timely signal delivery while traffic halted and residents sought shelter as sirens wailed. One Middleport violation will be investigated after auxiliary officers and nurses aides attended a sponsor dinner before reporting to posts.
