More than a quarter of a century ago, the National Acad-
emy of Sciences looked into the future and described the chal-
lenge of managing nuclear waste and controlling radiation. The
academy declared, “Radiation in the general environment has
not yet become a serious problem. In a few decades, however,
radioactive waste products from atomic power plants will rep-
resent an enormous potential source of contamination. How
much of that radioactivity will actually reach the population
depends on how successfully it can be kept out of the great
network—ocean and air currents, food and water supplies—
which connects man to his surroundings.”
The likelihood that radiation will go undetected is one of its
greatest threats. Othgr toxic agents are often identified quickly
because their effects can be seen, smelled, or tasted. Not so with
radiation. The AEC, which seldom expressed concern, had a
few words of caution on this point in 1960. “Key factors in the
hazards of atomic wastes,” the commission said, “are that radi-
ation is not detectable by the unaided human senses, except at
extremely high levels; that only time can destroy radioactivity;
that toxic effects often are cumulative, and that injuries result-
ing from radiation may not become evident for some time.”

Atomic bomb fallout extensive
WASHINGTON (AP) — Fallout from the 1945
explosion of the first atomic device at New Mexi-
co’s Trinity Site created radioactivity readings
“high enough to cause serious physiological ef-
fects,” says a declassified report written five days
after the test.
The report, written by Col. Stafford Warren,
chief medical officer for the Manhattan Project,
said the radioactive cloud was “potentially a very
dangerous hazard over a band of almost 30 miles
wide extending almost 90 miles northeast of the
test site.” The report said portions of the dusty
radioactive cloud also traveled eastward, wes-
tward and to the northwest.
It says no one was evacuated, even though the
dust drifted over inhabited areas.
“The highest intensities, fortunately, were only
found in deserted regions,” the report said.
Dr. Arjun Makhijani, who is associated with the
National Committee for Radiation Victims, said
Monday the report shows an investigation into pos-
sible health effects is necessary.
“There was no evacuation and I don’t think any
of these people who might have been exposed
were ever informed,” he said in Laurel, Md.

Halley’s comet has been sighted already. You and I will see
it best in March and April.
With present technology, our scientists will leam more about
comets the first two weeks of March than during the past
2,000 years.
Until Edmond Halley calculated the precise orbit of this
comet its rare appearances were shrouded in superstition.
Even Aristotle thought comets to be only “atmospheric phe-
nomena.”
But Halley identified its substance and charted its course and
told us precisely when this “sign in the sky” would return.
But the event has now been widely commercialized by mer-
chants offering “special comet binoculars” and more expen-
sive telescopes and sight-seeing flights above the clouds and
commemorative champagne glasses.
And worse
Merchants of the occult -- mystics and crackpots and phy-
chics and pseudo scientists - are twisting Scripture and dis-
torting established fact to read into the return of the comet
some dire prediction for mankind.
With the world’s eyes focused on the night sky for these en-
suing months, anticipate other cosmic dancers flitting across
the radar screens of the human mind.
Already I have more than enough letters from credible
people convinced that some “visitors from space” are coming
much closer to home than Hallev’s.
George Vandeman is a Scripture scholar; an accepted authori-
ty on the book of Revelation.
Recently, writing about UFOs, he said it does not matter
whether they are real or not real. “Something real is happen-
ing to millions of people, and that does matter.
Whether or not UFOs exist is not the question. Whether
they do or not, something is going on. People are letting their
liveS)be changed by UFOs. People are makmg a religion of
And Elder Vandeman adds that, “The parallels between spir-
itism and the UFO phenomenon, between demonic activity
and UFO activity, are striking.”
The mystics were chastened and should have been shushed
when the Comet Kohoutek disappointed them in 1973 and
failed to destroy the earth, but they are coming out of their
holes again with similarly dire predictions.
