"In Civil Defen-i you should
have a first aid kit and upply
of foods includint armed foods.
You should have enough food to
last you about two weeks or
more. Have ai underground
shelter such as a celia con-
crete shelter or basement. Have
a battery radio to keep you up
with what is going- on.
Have : ashlight- or oi: lamps

should get into a cellar or base

In case of atomic attack, thi
I greate t danger would be from
I radio active fallout. Fallout
starts to travel about 0 hours

out. will start traveling as soon
as the bomb explodes. The time
it take? to reach your area would
depend on the distance and wind
currents. It could easily reach
you sooner than fi hours. J. R

Exposure to fallout will either
cause serious illness or maybe
death. A shelter should be made
j for this. It ran be made out of
concrete or other things or in
side of basement of any farm
building.
You should lay in the shel-
| ter for at least 2 weeks, except
for short trip out. After fall
out ha^ gone away, make sun
it i^ safe before you leave the
shelter. You would use most of
the things you would use in a
tornado or flood.
Livestock need protection too.
They could not survive out on
open rangi Penning them inside
would help A basement would
be better or an undergiound
shelter built something like a
trench siio would help. Water
from a concrete well would be
safe for them. Feed stored
underground such as hay or sil-
age would probably be better
than other feed.
Well, I was just wondering

some lessons from the boys. 1
