In a split second during the hours of a morning in November 1952, radioactive fallout came of age as a potential hazard to every living thing. Since then, millions of words have been' written and spoken about it. We are told that it cannot be detected by any of the human senses, only by radiation detection devices. It can hitch a rvie on the wind for hundreds of miles from a nuclear blast, settle to earth even in remote places and make entire areas temporarily-uninhabitabl- her party will present their gifts to Mayor W.

Can its movement be pre- dieted? And what can people do to protect against it? Fallout is nothing more than tiny dust pai tides blasted into the air when a nuclear weapon's fireball intersects the earths surface. This material is then by the fireball, and thus carries dangerous radiation To wherever the dust falls. -By plotting winds, weather men can predict the area of fallout, and tell approximately where it will land. Radiological monitoring would then establish specific fallout patterns. People can protect themselves mainly by staying under cover, and tuning a battery-operateradio to emergency civil defense frequencies for expert instructions. A basement makes a fair root shelter, an cellar an excellent one. This is because only 15, 000th" of the radiation that would hit a person in the open will penetrate three feet of earth. made-radioactiv- high-altitu- d remember that fallout leaves no margin for errors, or amateurs. For example, just because the surface wind is blowing from a safe direction doesnt mean that the winds above 10,000 feet --which would usually dominate the direction of fallout werent blowing some other way. Only the experts have the equipment to predict fallout areas. here, Miss Chugg and j Association of Utah and vice eht of the Utah Milk A. J.

Hunters Urged To Make Clean and bird populations whenever they go afield during the hunting seasons. So saying the department of fish and game asked all hunters to make a cooperative effort in reducing crippling losses, wherher they are hunting Elk, deer, warterfoul or upland game1 birds. Available figures point to a 25 C wounding or crippling loss during the annual fall deer hunts. They also show that this same percentage of losspne bird in four that is hit, applies to the duck and goose shoot. As this loss applies to other game creatures game managers believe it will vary from 1 to as high as 35 ri . This means that tens of thousands of game birds and animals are lost each year through crippeling, lost to the gunner who fires the crippeling shot, lost forever to the next hunter who mihgt have made a clean kill. Reduction of this loss is poss ible in only one way by the hunters themselves. It can be eccomplished only if each hunter will carry on his own campaign to kill cleanly and mak? ovrrv effort to recover game birds and annimals he mav down or believe he has hit. A concerted urg" to reduce this loss is bing made by the Natbmal Waterfoul Council and other conservation organizations. The Utah department has joined in this campaign and urges the full cooperation of all sportsmen in acheiving its objectives. ' t i Alma the SjUirdu, October 20, ejK'ning day of Utah's general deer season The department of fish and game said that all signs and field information indicate that the harvest and hunter success will be comparable to a jear ago when 112,000 animals were bagged with three of four hunters getting a deer. With the exception of four hunting units, the general reason over the whole state continues for eleven days through October, 30 with ex-t.nded weekendd hunting & longer seasons set for many areas. One deer of either sex is legal game ever) w here on .he regular license. A shorter season of seven days was set by the Utah Hoard of Big flame Control for the Heaston, Stansbury, Vernon and Tintic hunting uits. Dates for these areas are October 20 through Oct. 6. In view of thhe continuing dry season, the department urged all who go afield to use every precaution in preventing forest and range fires. Listed also was the reminder that it is the obligation of every hunter to know the regulations covering the deer hunt and other seasons. Proelimations are still avail able listing all herd and hunt boundries, the general laws and other information every hunter should know before going afield. Local department field men over the state all welcom the opportunity to answer any questions a sportsman may have, or give 'o r. a nr! b- i I J J Iron County Qualified As Dispersed Area Senator Wallace F. Bennett announced this week that Iron County has been designated by the Federal Government as a dispersed area, Mak mg it eligible for new industries which are seeking more secure sites for expansion. Senator Bennett, who wrote the dispersal legislation passed by the last session of Congress, had asked last week for dispersal designation for those Utah Counties which had not previously been class! fied. The new ruling makes the county eligible for new defense Installations, industrial plants, testing installations, or other facilities affecting defense or supplying goods, to the .Federal Government. The Secretary of Commerce notified Senator Bennett that on the basis of population & industrial concentrations the county meets the dispersal requirements set up in the law, and that no further action will be necessary to certify the county. The door is now open for new defense establishments to come into the newly certified counties of the state, and I am hopeful that we will see more of them here in the near future, Senator Bennett said. Further concentrations of such facilities on the west coast is now being curtailed, it is up to us to see that Utah gets its share of this new industry. He noted that several counties have prepared brochures pointing out the economic advantages of their area, and recommended that other counties of the state take similar action.

His idea was that some of rate be made that would work about the same as a demand rate for a three-phas- e electric motor, or in other words so much per connected horsepower whether it was used or not. Parowan City must pav a demand rate of $1.90 per KW for all demand power bought from Southern Utah Powir Co. This charge is band on the highest fifteen minutes of use during the month With usage like the lights around the football field where so much power is used for just a little while, the demand rate goes into effect with the resultant high charge Though no definite action was taken by the council, the problem was passed back to A new I u-- n c: c 1 1 c committee the for further study and recomhydro-electri- mendations. Needed improvements , in the city culinary water supply were discussed. A project of clearing away of all brush and undergrowth from the sping area has been under tvay for some time, and ways for constructing a new basin for the water pick-u- p from all the springs is being sought.. Considerable clearing will have to be ma$e after which engineering help will be procured from the State Department of Health in trying to devise a way to pick up the water and in keeping it free from contamination. Purchase of a new police car was also considered at the meeting. The public safety convmittee reported that extensive repairs would have to be made on the present car, or a new one purchased. The matter was turned over to the committee for investigation. a special session of the committee was called after the council meeting at which time it was decided that a new car would be the most practical. , Specifications were drawn up and it is expected that bids will be called for in the near future. October 22 was set as the date that water in city irrigation ditches would be turned out of town. This provided that a storm in the meantime doesnt make it impossible to keep ditches clear of leaves. In this event, it is probable that water will be turned out A surprise party was held on October 3. at the home of sooner. Geraldine iStubbs. The occasion being her 12 birthday.
