CINCINNATI, H-Here's an A.
bomb or H-bomb survival tip:
If you see or sense a sudden
brilliant or binding flash of light
duck and count slowly to five.
If you reach five, you have sur
vived. Then take stock. If you have
the customary number of fingers,
legs and other body parts, if you
can hear, and aren't bleeding badly
anywhere or bleeding from the
nose or ears, you probably have
nothing to worry about.
II will mean you haven't been
hit at all, or significantly, by the
three killers in thermonuclear
weapons. The three are radiation
including X-rays and neutrons-
heat or fire, and the blast wave.
The blast wave itself, and objects
like bricks, stones and glass sent
flying by the blast, could be lethal.
Counting off the five seconds will
mean you were at least a mile
from the heart or center OF the
atomic bomb. It takes five seconds
for the sound or blast waves to
travel a mile. And at a mile dis
lance, you probably won't get any
significant amount Of radiation.
This rough formula was given
Tuesday by Col. Harvey c. Slocum
at the annual meeting Of the Ameri-
can Society of Anesthesiologists.
Slocum is professional consultant

in unsatisfactory to the surgeon
general. and chief Of anesthesiol-
ogy and operative service of Walter
Reed Army Hospital, Washington,
D. c.
1t applies to A-bombs such as
exploded over Japan and can ap-
ply to H-bombs too. For much of
the deadly effects of all these
bombs go straight up in the air, or
could miss you by hop-sctoching
over you if you had ducked soon
enough, or had ducked behind suffi-
cient protection, he said.
Slocum mentioned the formula
in saying that if a nuclear bomb
ing catastrophe occurred, anesthes-
iologists could and should have
special lifesaving jobs to perform.

him. Every newspaperman knows
that it only takes few days fol
the ''hottest" story in the world
to 60 stale. For the moment,
think that subject is Fluoridation!
This Rock Of Ours began the orr
ginal fight against fluoridating
Monroe County water because DR.
DeCamp, head of the State Health
Service, suggested opponents to the
plan would be 'crack-pots.' AL
though I'll admit to conducting my
self like a grand fool at times,
don't relish being called crack
pot. Also, proponents of fluorida'
ton appeared to be trying to push
it in an undercover manner.
This Rock OF Ours dropped the
subject when sufficient evidence
had been shown our governing Off
Gals that a large segment of the
population did not want fluorida
ted water. That's all a newspaper
man can do.
Remember - the fellows we've
elected to office are not fools. MOI
are they DESTROYS of their jobs sim

they know the score, I'm sure thai
they will do the honorable thinI

FLUoRIpATIoN FACTS

Editor, The Citizen:
Dear Sir:
For the past month and a half
there have been many untruths
written about huoridation - es-
pecially by people who seem to
be very narrow minded. Follow

dalton.
1. In February and March Of
1852, a congressional committee
known as the select committee to
investigate the use of chemicals in
foods and cosmetics heard testi-
mony from a number of witnesses
on the question of water fluorida-
ton. The committee stated: "Such
highly qualified and reputable or
CARNATIONS as the American Medi-
cal Association, The National Re.
search Council, The American Pub
lie Health Association, The Amer
lean Dental Association, have en-
dorsed the program of huoridating
the public drinking water. The
United States Public Health Ser
vice has issued an unqualified en-
dorsement of the program" This
federal agency is responsible for
establishing the health standards
for the people of this country.
z. 1t has been stated that flu
brides are poisonous. There is nc
doubt that excessive amounts Of
fluorides are poisonous, but this is
true of a great many substances
taken into, or applied to, the body.

to drink, was notorious in the year
1918 as q poison gas but in the

STRENGTHENING SUGGESTION

Editor, The Citizen:
I'm well aware that many Conchs resent suggestions
offered by outsiders They like to believe they run
their show without outside help Isn't that So Eoy?
My plan to improve your city cemetery met with dis
approval by some = Mrs. Saunders, frnstance - but
it good to hear from broad-minded Annie King
l have suggestion concerning the widening
of your muchtraveled Truman Avenue. Why not leave
"as isl" =:
Throw much of your heavy traffic off Of this main
artery by widening Palm Avenue around Peary Court
sde and down Catherine Street the other side
far Whitehead Street both sides.
This done just outside Cleveland Ohio, at what
called Shaker Heights 1t solved their problem of heavy
congestion and could solve yours much less cost than
widening Truman Avenue there not many large
buildings to be moved.

The new roomness of Cadillacs interiors, the
new beauty OF its appointments, and the new rich
ness OF its fabrics and feathers will give the industry
completely new standards of comfort and luxury.
And Cadillac's great new power and responsive

incredible smoothneSS of operation are certain to
serve as engineering guideposts for years to come.

WASHINGTON Up - The Inter,
national Monetary Fund has told
its 81 member nations that the
free world made significant pro-
greSS in the past year toward d
return to international freedom OF
money and trade.
And the organization stressed
that it stands ready with its nine
billion-dollar resources to back
member moves toward freeing
their money and trade from pro-
tective restrictions. provided the
members economies are in good
shape.
The funds report was made pub
lie last night a few hours before
today's first session of the annual
meeting of governors of the fund,
and its twin institution, the World
Bank.
The meeting was virtually a free
world conference of finance min
listers and central bank directors.
who form the governing boards of
the two organizations.
CZechOSlovakia, the only Iron
Curtain member, has been SuS
pended from the bank and may
be Ousted from the fund. Fund Of
ficialS said the Czechs have not sup
piled the trade and payments in
formation required of all mem
berS.
The fund and the bank were
created 10 years ago to help ma
tons work their way out of the
ravages of war and depression.
The banks role is lending to
members for development of their
resources. communications and
production. The fund lends to
members who run temporarily into
debt in their international trade,
and it seeks a lowering of trade
barriers.
The fund report said it would
open its Golfers especially for
members who run into trouble in
freeing their currencies from re-
strictiOnS.
Advance reports on the six day
meeting said it would be dominat-
ed by the subject with which the
fund opened its report converti-
bility, or the free exchange of cur
rencies. Linked to this was the
striking down of restrictive trade
ShackleS.
All responsible sources who
could be reached, however, said
they did not expect the meeting
to set "C-day" when major ma
tons like Great Britain, France,
