State Fairgrounds to Stage Wartime Blackout Drill
A seven minute wartime blackout and mock air raid will be staged at the State Fairgrounds on Thursday night as part of the defense program. Bombers will fly over the grounds followed by Coast Artillery spotlights and searchlights from Fort Totten. A fake incendiary blaze will be set in the race track infield and Syracuse Solvay firemen will fight the blaze while an ambulance corps provides first aid. Public address warnings will guide crowds as Army officials observe the test with state and local leaders present.
