To ROTC Council Orders 12 Hour Blackout '. Orders from the State Council of Defense for an- all - night black out June 24 when every light in central Pennsylvania is to be put out -will bring to students and townspeople "the•grim experience of simulated all-nightair raid con ditions." - The blackout, which is.a test of the Civilian Protection system of the entire state, will be staggered over three nights. Eastefn por, tions of the state will, be darkened. June 23 and -the western. counties on June 25. Exact time for the blackout will not be announced, according to the Council, but the usual glgnals will sound a warning. In State College, that signal is a continuous blast on the power "house whistle. Since the blackout: is to last all night, an all-clear signal will probably not be used. In connection with this third test for students and townspeople, Protection Chairman George W. Ebert said that any violations of the blackout regulations will be severely dealt with under a state law which gives state and local authorities "absolute power to adopt and enforce municipal regu lations" during aid raids and blackouts, State legislation provides for a fine of $2OO or 90 days in jail, or both, for violations. • Dr. James F. Shigley, chairman of the local council •of defense, said that any one found guilty of disobeying lo cal regulations will be punished.
