Rural Aid Necessary

Where would these people 60?
Most likely to nearby rural coun-
ties. Take Chicago as an example.
Suppose only one atomic bomb was
dropped in Chicago or in Chicago's
environs of Whiting, East Chicago
and Gary where are concentrated
massed steel mills, refineries, oil
depots and other necessary indus
trial production for war.
1t would mean that within a radi-
us of 10 blocks from the center of
the bomb burst all life would be
extinct and 80 per cent Of buildings
and other installations destroyed,
and within 20-block radius the
loss of life and destruction would be
awesome. 1t would mean the prob
ably immediate evacuation of more
than million and a half persons,
women, children, older people from
their city homes.
1t would mean that probably
in Porter county, Indiana, or in
Kankakee county, Illinois, or in
some other nearby rural county,
housing, doctors, nurses, health,
food, clothing. water, utilities
and other facilities must be pro-
vided to take care of these dis
placed persons, with the idea of
keeping families together. 1t
would mean tremendous hard
ship and sacrifice on the part of
the more fortunate residents of
these rural counties, even though
they were not in sight or sound

upon that number within mile a
explosion. Most Americans can no
of such an explosion against sure
in their vicinity.
There are, however, some things
the public can do to help itself.
Many of these things have been
outlined in a book entitled "The
Effects Of Atomic Weapons" Just
published by the atomic energy
commission at Washington and the
United States department of de-
tense.
The book suggests that the pub
lie can help itself on community
scale by an alarm system, by des-
lgnatlng large shelters, by training
to meet emergencies, by preparing
long range, but fastened, develop
ment of highways and removal of
danger points, such as slums.
Many cities, such as New York
and San Francisco, have started
such programs.
Three Types Of Bombing
AS individuals the public can pro-
tect itself by learning how to take
care of injuries, by deciding in ad-
vance how to act under attack as
a family or neighborhood group,
by preparing simple home shelters.
Death and destruction from an
atomic attack. would be immense.
but city can survive as many did
from terrific conventional bombing.
The terrible destruction and
death rate from an atomic bomb
is outlined in the book which
tells what one bomb did to
Hiroshima where 100000 of the
100000 population were killed,
and what happened at Maya
saki where 10000 of the city's
100000 people died from one
A-bOmb explosion.
The book reports there are three
possible types. of A-bombing: High
air burst as at Hiroshima and Maya
saki where the bombs were ex-
ploded about 1900 feet above the
cities, low ground, and underwater
or underground.
The, high air burst is the most
probable in an attack on the United
States. 1t kills the most people and
does the most widespread damage.
Its effectiveness is somewhat de-
termined by weather and topo-
graphical conditions.
But in the average American city
it would:
Kill IS per cent of the people with
in half mile radius of ground
zero (the point directly below the
burst, IS per cent at one mile and
2 per cent at a mile and half.
Cause various radiation and con-
ventional violent injuries and burns
up to several miles.
Explosion Described
Obliterate virtually all property
above ground in the first zone. Do
damage ranging from intense to
light from the first zone to some
eight miles from ground zero. Cause
immense fires.
DR.. ]. o. Hirschfelder of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, head of the
board of editors for the book, de-
scribes an atomic explosions:
"a fraction of second after the
bomb explodes, ball of fire shoots
out to radius of $50 yards. 1t
gives off light of the same spectoral
characteristics as the SUM-
"On clear day, the light
from the ball of fire will pro-
duce skin burns up to distance
of two miles. Under some cOndi-
tons, the whole area beneath
the explosion may be converted
into huge fire storm or bon
fire.

feet across at its base and 5000

KIM lagoon in the U. S. A-bomb

1T takes the blast wave one sec
ond to reach one-haf mile, three
seconds to reach one mile, and
seven seconds to reach two miles"
In these seconds there are many
things a person can do to protect
himself if he has the presence of
mind.
The book suggests, if you are out
side and that awesome glare &C.
ours:
Don't look at the glare, drop to
the ground, into ditch or a slit
trench if at all possible, or behind
anything at all. Curl up to shade
your face, neck, hands, arms and
legs with the clothed part of your
body. Stay that way at least 10 Sec
onds. 1t won't keep you from radia-
| ton, but it will help against flash
| burns.
If you are in the street or on a
road, drop prone or duck behind
tree or into a doorway if one is
step or two away. Bend over with
| back to light. Don't try to get to
any shelter not right at hand, be-
cause most of an A-bomb's heat
| and radiation come in the first
three seconds. Wait 10 seconds, then
press tightly against a building or
wall to avoid falling debris.
In the public mind, radiation is
the most frightful aspect of an A
bomb attack. However. force and
fire far exceed it as destroyers. In
fact, exposure does not mean that
you are going to die or even that
there will be some permanent. pc
culiar after effects.
Book Is on Sale
The book says remove your cloth
ing and scrub yourself hard with
soap and water. Special methods
are effective under special condi-
tons, but soap and water are al
most always around and they are
pretty good universal decontamina-

skin folds. areas around body open
ings, fingernails and toenails and
hair-and don't cause skin breaks.

SOCIAL SECURITY

The signing of Social Security Bill this week
by President Truman will be of much benefit to millions
and millions of working people.
The law will double the monthly benefits receiv-
ed by workers and adds to the 900 people now
covered 900 workers. After January 1851
three of every four wokers in America will be by
the Social Security program.
Under the present law individual benefits average
$26 monthly The law increases this to SAG monthly
Individual minimums will be increased from $40 to
$21 month and maximums from SAG to $685O month.
Some workers in future will be entitled to much as
$50 month
Next year Social Security taxes will be collected on
the first $4,000 earned annually instead of the present
$4,000.
Workers who have paid the social security tax for 8
months more will be entitled to benefits
There is little doubt that the new law will be well
coined by at least 45 million people and that's lot of
people.

The Moving Finger
BY L. A. Thompson

Well, sir, the members of
the Federation Of Negro
Clubs burned the $12,5O0
mortgage on their property
at the corner Of goth street
and Third ave., Tuesday
evening. The occasion was.
historic in more than one
way. 1t was the first time in
these parts that a group of
Colored folk, interested
mainly in the social side of
life, had made such a high
mark. Then, too, it was the
first time that a Colored
judge - Judge L. e. Thorn
as - was principal speaker
at the burning of a mort
gage in Miami.
The Judges address was
practical and down-to-earth.
He told his audience that the
rest of Miami had gone so
far ahead of us that most of
us cannot. appreciate the
distance. He said that we
are not prepared to measure
up to the opportunities that
are being given US; that we
need eVerything-houses,
money! political influence,
education, etc. that a group
which produces generation
after generation of paupers,
is in a bad way; that our
leadership should stress
honesty and thrift.
The whole affair w a s
grand. Congratulations to
the Federation.

ALL,S READY FOR FAREWELL
BALL So

Everyone is ready and waiting
for the Annual Students Farewell
Ball, sponsored by the Booker T.
Washington Alumni Association, on
tonight FRIDAY, September y at the
Rockland Palace. So much has al
ready been said about this coming
event that it is really not necessary
for me to say very much more at
tIiis writing.
However, it can be said that no
stone has been left unturned in
planning and preparing for this
event-everything has been done, and
all plans have been completed for
what is expected to be one of the
most interesting affairs of it's kind
ever rendered in this city.
In addition to the regular routine
activities. there will also be number
of added novelty attraction, all de-
signed and calculated to bring more
pleasure to the patrons who attend
this affair.
AS has been announced several
times, the affair has been especially
planned as a send-off to the many
students from Miami and vicinity
who are leaving for college during
the months of September or Oct
ober-and a very appropriate send
off it will be.
So we'll be looking for all of you
tonight Friday September u at the
Rockland Palace, at the Annual

time is assured all.

Partitions Made
of New Materials

Popularity of the dual-purpose
room, such as a living-dining
room or a combination kitchen
and utility room, has encouraged
the use of new materials for par!
tial or complete partitions, says
american Builder magazine.
"Full-height opaque or CORFU,
gated glass is often used as a par,
tial separation between hall and
living room, and living and din
ing rooms. This merely gives the
suggestion of separation, which is
all that is necessary" the maga-
zine adds.
American Builder also says that
door-to-ceiling structural glass
partitions provide an effectiveI
way to enclose one or both endsi
cf a bathtub. For skylights ini
kitchens or bathrooms, translucent
plastic, available in 25- by 27-inch
panels, is said to be an excellent

Golden Text: Psalms Sail. The
Lord God is sun and shield: the
Lord will give grace and glory: no
good thing will he withhold from
them that walk uprightly. A Bible
citation from the Lesson-Sermon
is: Acts 1924. 25, 2S. God that
made the world and all things
therein, seeing that he is Lord of
heaven and earth dwelleth not in
temples made with hands; Neither
is worshipped with mems hands, as
though he needed any thing, seeing
he giveth to all life, and breath,
and all things; -. For in him we
live, and move, and have our be-
ing; as certain also of your own
poets have said, For we are also
his offspring. A correlative pas
sage from the textbook "Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy is;
(p. 122, 223, 3O9). Our theories
make the same mistake regarding
Soul and body that Ptlomey made
regarding the solar system. They
insist that soul is in body and mind
therefore tributary to matter. AS
Economical science has destroyed
the false theory as to the relations
of the celestial bodies, and Chris
tian Science will surely destroy
the greater error as to our terres-
trial bodies. IL. Remember that
truth is greater than error, anc
cannot put the greater into the
less. Soul is Spirit, and Spirit is
greater than body. If Spirit were
once within the body, Spirit would
be finite, and therefore could no
be Spirit. .. !. The Science Of being
