Proclamation No.12, From Western Defense Command and Fourth Army
YOUR DlMOUT INSTRUCTIONS
(These official instructions from the Washington State
Defense Council apply to the entire Zone of Restricted
Lighting—most of Western Washington—‘wherc Public
Proclamation No. 12 is effective. Clip the instructions,
post them in your home or store and see that everyone
in the family or place of business becomes familiar
FOR HOMES: Pull your shades down at least level
with the bottom of any lights in the room. To play safe,
pull shades all the way down. If your home is in the
area “visible from the sea,” shades must be all the
way down. If you have venetian blinds, close them so
as to throw any light downward.
Porch lights, yard lights: Shield them so all the
light goes down and none goes straight out sideward
or upward. With your eye at the level of the bottom
of the light shield, you should not be able to see the
light. Use light globes of the lowest possible wattage.
They must not give more than one foot candle of light
on the ground. This takes a light meter to check ac-
curately, but it is a weak light and you would strain
your eyes trying to read newsprint by it.
FOR FARMS: Exactly the same as above. Pull down
your shades. Put in low-wattage bulbs and shield all
outside lights. This also applies to poultry houses and
barns.
FOR BUSINESS PLACES: This will take some
work. No outside electric signs or floodlighting of
signs or buildings are permitted, and no light may
throw rays sideward or upward. Lights must not throw
more than one foot candle on the ground or sidewalk
in front of the establishment, even if it is the general
light coming through the window from inside. And no
lamps, reflectors, diffusing globes or inside signs may
be visible to the eye when held level with the top of
the door or window glass. In other words, all rays of
light from any of these sources coming out of a build-
ing, must shine downward and not sideward or up-
ward. So if your lights are now visible ficom outside,
you can do one of three things. You can raise the lights,
shield each one at the light itself, or paint or otherwise
shield the upper part of the door or 'window glass.
INDUSTRIAL PLANTS, STREET L I G H T S,
HIGHWAY LIGHTS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS require
more technical handling, and specialists are available
through Defense Councils for consultation. The restric-
tions on automobile lights in areas visible from the
sea are unchanged except for certain emergency ve-
hicles.
Cooperate in the Dimout. Instructions apply
between Sunset and Sunrise. Violators are
subject to severe penalties under state and
federal laws.

CONCERNlNG
“The Mason County Defense Council,
whose duty it is to see that the dimout
regulations issued by Lt. Gen. J. L. De-
Witt are observed, appreciates the co-
operation of Mason county citizens who
have done a good job of dimming out.
However, the di'mout is not 100% perfect ‘
as there are some who have not complied
with Gen. DeWitt’s orders.
“It is imperative that these regulations
be observed without delay. This office
realizes that shortages of necessary ma-
terial and othér f a c t o r s h a v e made
Speedy compliance difficult.

if the bottom of the shade is below the bottom of the light.
EARLY MORNING LIGHTS:
Early risers should be careful to see that shades in their homes have been
ulled below
the bottom of the light: Since official sunrise is notuntil 8:15 a. m. at
the presdilt time, and
Will be even later as Winter days shorten, care should be taken. ~
LIGHTS ABOVE MARQUEE:
Too many Shelton business houses are allowing their small windows above the
marquee
to go unshaded. Any Window which is above the interior lighting of the
store, must be
completely covered whether it is frosted or clear. r '

All skylights must be completely blacked out so that no my or glimmer of.
