Show More on Fallout Even Basement Gives Protection By Leslie King StaH Writer NEIGHBOR In a typical basement, radiation intensity would be only ten per cent of the intensity in the open three feet above ground. It has been estimated that as many as 85 per cent of the people who might otherwise die from fallout could survive if they had effective shelters to protect them and could reach them promptly. According to Mr Mays, waning sirens, necessary to the safety of the populace, can he heard by only a small fraction of the residents in Salt Lake City. In the County the situation is little better. Many residents have never heard a warning system. An effective warning system requires community action. Unlike fallout shelters, it cannot be installed by the individual." Radioactive fallout spreads in a band tens of miles wide, blowing with wind currents. It is the most dangerous consequence of thermonuclear war. From the tme a bomb strikes to the time fallout occurs there may be from a few minutes to several hours to shield oneself. As a rule of thumb, lag between the bomb's flash and the beginning of fallout with upper air winds of 15 m.p.h. can be figured at one minute for each quarter mile of distance. The best protection is to go where there is as much material as possible between oneself and the sources of radiation. It is the number of pounds of material per square foot of roof and wall area which counts. As an example, three feet of earth will reduce the intensity to of the raapproximately diation incident upon it. Two feet of concrete will give the same protection. There is about the same amount of shielding in 8 inches of concrete, 12 inches of earth. 23 inches of books or 30 inches of wood. In an emergency, where improvisation is necessary, one should retreat to a corner of al basement, push a sturdy table into it, stack books, bricks or other heavy matreial on the table top and slay under the table. When emergences arise, unexpected complications often occur to make the situation still more complex. If one's small child or pet animal should race outdoors away from safety, no great harm has been done if, one is aware of what to do. j Provided there is still electric ! power, one should thoroughly vacuum the child or pet and the rescuer, then hose off the remaining radioactive dust. Without electricity, meticulous brushing followed by complete washing would suffice. Clothes may be removed and others substituted as a further precaution. When proper care has been taken it is safe for those who have been exposed to fall : out to enter a shelter with others without impairing their health. If not caught in an area of direct hit where survival is doubtful the most critical period would be immediately after an attack when radiation levels are most intense. Fallout shelters in basements are better than no shelters at all. Where economy is a factor, such shelters, costing approx-matcl- y $15, can be built folow-inspecifications found in the leaflet. Family Fallout Shelters. Whenever possible, the same leaflet advises, shelters should be built apart from inflammable structures and provides plans for those. Within an area of up to one mile from a direct hit everything would be vaporized; destruction and death to those except in the deepest shelters is inevitable. Initial heat would be released almost instantly and would burn everything within a e radius. The blast wave, following seconds later would wreak further damage. Those in basement shelters within the danger zone would almost certainly be suffocated or burned to death. Shelters should be provisioned k with at least a supply g ,ive-mil- two-wee- '. uf both food and water. Three quarts of water for each occupant are recommended as the minimum amount for drinking and daily use. Pickles will help ease thirst and canned vegetables are an extra source of liquid. Also basic to every efficient shelter is a first aid kit, flashlights, battery radio, stock of plastic bags to dispose of human waste, a dosimeter and an operating ventilator. The women representatives of the 50 states who attended the Fifth National Coneress of Better Living thought shelters were presently of little value because there was no adequate ventilation systm to carry pure air into tl.am. According to Gerald A. Fay, production manager for a local contracting concern, ventilators selling for as low as $25 will efficiently filter fallout dust and can be used with safety. He also strongly recommends that every family have a dosi-,- ' meter which is a device to measure radiation. These can be bought for approximately $25. In the event of emergency, if no dosimeter is available, it is considered safe to leave a shel-- 1 ter 144 hours after a single nuclear explosion.

A great deal of controversy has arisen over what people will find when they emerge from shelters and how they will feed when everything themselves will be polluted by radiation. Mr. Mays says, "Every packaged food such as canned goods or securely boxed foods will be edible. Just the peel of a banana or orange is sufficient protection for the fruit provided there is care in preparation. Tests by experts can determine where crops can be grown safely. Surplus foods presently stored in government storehouses will be used in the interim to meet feeding problems. In Utah, water purification teams under the direction of the Commanding General 96th Division Artillery would be able to produce up to 2,000 gallons of potable water per hour. J. C.

Guns Kill 3,000 Each Year, Half Right in Hom Guns are dangerous. This would be a silly statement to make except that there were 3,000 people killed by guns last year. What does this matter to you? Well, half of these people who were killed by guns last year were killed in their homes. Chances are, you have a gun in your home which is capable of killing someone. With proper care, there would be no need for anyone to die from fire arms. An old army sergeant used to say, Never point a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot them. Treat every gun as if it were loaded. The home is no place for a loaded gun. It only takes seconds to load a gun if it is needed. Guns and ammunition should be stored separately and out of reach of children. When showing off the gun, open the action, be sure it isn't loaded.
