Pound of CD Obedience,
Ounce of Precautions,
Will Save Life i'm County

"If the people of Montgomery
County will learn to follow Civil
Defense instructions and take
precautions, just a tiny bit of
precaution, it will mean the diff
ference between being complete
ly safe and completely dead"
Thus Lois Sprigg HAZEL, Coun-
ty Special Assistant for Women
Wardens, summed up her obser-
vations at the May 7 atomic
bomb test in the Nevada desert.
When the much-delayed "shot"
was finally unleashed from its
500 foot tower, Mrs. HAZEL and
the 200 other observers who stay
ed on during the week of post
ponements, threw off their dark
goggles three seconds after de-
donation and faced what she calls
"the most beautiful sight I've
ever seem"
But what will happen when the
crimson fire-ball and towering
mushroom engulf Washington?
People will instinctively run,
husbands for wives, mothers for
children. The only way we can
overcome this panic is through
education, planning, and compe-
tent leaders"
Mrs. HAZEL is at work now on
her official report to the county
Civil Defense Office. Giving a
hint of her recommendations, she
says, 1--WE need shelters, as well
as evacuation plans, especially in
the schools. Since blast, heat, and
radiation will affect each neigh
borhood differently, due to to-
Biography, distance from Ground

must ask his Civil Defense Of

met and Juggling walkie-talkie,
Mrs. Hazel was captain of a war
den team guarding communica-
tons lines and press facilities be-
fore the blast. She was five miles
from the tower when the bomb
went off. Then shivering in %
degree cold she moved into the
test area CATER scientists had de-
termined radiation sufficiently
subsidized to execute her post

house with a bathroom" shelter.
THE house was demolished
but the bathroom, equipped with
thick REINFORCED concrete walls
and two-inch plywood panels ov-
er doors and windows, was in
tact and a dog inside was alive
and safe." reports Mrs. HAZEL.
THE dummies in the house were
all labeled dead except for a
baby which authorities say may
have survived"
AS for other damage, Mrs.
HAZEL reveals, 'The dummies in
basement shelters were safe. The
trailers took the blast well and

Asks so Raise

Senator John Marshall Butler
(R. Md, said this week that
when the Senate considers the
postal pay bill this week, he will
offer an amendment giving Fed
eral classified employees an
unconstitutional 8 percent pay in
crease.
Chairman Johnston d., SCI,
of the Senate Post Office and Civil
Service Committee, has previous
ly announced that pay hikes for
the more than 100000 classified
workers will not be taken up until
the postal bill is disposed of.
GAS usual, Uncle Sans CLASH
fled employees are allotted step
child treatment" Senator Butler
said. THE postal organizations
seem to be the favorites of Con-
gress even though there are about
100000 post office employees as
compared to approximately 2,000,-
600 classified workers. This dis
elimination by Congress has
existed for years and it is most
unfair and unjust. can under
stand and sympathize with the
feeling of resentment of these
classified employees over such
shabby treatment.
There is certainly no valid rea-
son why this discrimination
should continue. Nor is there
valid reason for voting postal
workers greater percentages of
salary increases than those en-
joyed by the classified workers.
We should not have a favored
class in the Federal service. On
the contrary, fairness demands
that compensation Tor Federal
jobs be awarded on an equal basis.
1--WE hear much talk that the
new postal bill will provide an
81 percent increase for post Of
flee employees, but that the in
crease for classified workers
will be held down to 6 or I per-
cent. No one, to my knowledge,
has successfully explained why
workers in one branch of the
Executive establishment should
receive s percent while the nu-
merOus other branches receive
only 6 or ! percent.
Il have literally thousands of
classified employees residing i'm
my State--principally in Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties and l intend to fight
for equal rights for them.

revised postal pay bill this week,

State Gas Taxes
Bring More Revenue

State gasoline taxes of 6 cents
per gallon will bring SIS times as
much state revenue as they did
when they began in 1922 at l cent
per gallon, says Maryland Petrol
cum Industries Committee Chair
man c. A. Newland. The 1922 re-
turn of $738,000 is contrasted with
this years take of S41,O00000.
Adding the 2 cents a gallow Fed
eral tax on gasoline, about 38 per
cent of the retail price of regular
gasoline paid by Maryland drivers
goes for taxes.

1 think some of the cars could
have been driven away" This
particular test, in addition to pro-
viding training for Civil Defense
personnel, was designed to test
blast effect of various products,
machines, buildings, and shelters.
About half the cost was paid by
private industry.
Illustrating how a bit of pre-
caution can save lives, Mrs. Ha-
zell points out, "The first heat of
the explosion lasts less than a
second, followed by the blast
which extinguishes any fires.
The front of a wooden house was
singed black, but not burned. A
sheet of paper held few inches
from the face would save a per-
SON from serious burns during
that first wave of heat"
In addition to observing at first
hand an atomic explosion and it's
results on a typical American
community, Mrs. Hazel had
many opportunities because of
the delays, to attend instructive
CD lectures and mingle with Civ
il Defense workers from every
part of the country. She feels
that many of their more advanced
organizational plans can be in
corporated in the Montgomery
County set-up and has made spe-
cific recommendations in her Of
fetal report.

Area Parents
Vie for Prize
In Yard Test

Parents of more than 10000
school children are being asked
this week to set aside a safe
place for their children to play
in connection with the annual
Play Yard Contest sponsored by
the Montgomery County Council,
Board of Education, Police De-
partment and County Safety
Board.
Eight cash prizes totaling $500
will be awarded to the parents
who build the best and most
attractive play yard before the
end of the contest, Sept. 1.
Last year, SO parents entered
the contest, bringing to over 600
the number of play yards that
have been built as a result of
this county program.
Through the cooperation of
the office of the County Super
intendent of Schools, Forbes H.
Norris, nearly 10000 announce
ments and entry blanks for the
contest are being taken home by
children in countrywide effort
to prevent accidents to children
of school age which result from
playing in Streets" according to
w. L. Robinson, chairman of the
Safety Board.
National statistics indicate
that most child accidents occur
near their homes and that the
play factor is predominant as a
cause" Mr. Robinson said. "In
other words, when children are
forced to play in streets and
along highways, accidents occur
which would otherwise be pre-
vented, if Fairgrounds or off
street play places were pro-
vided.
again, public-spirited business
organizations of the county have
provided $500 in prizes for the
best home-built play yards and
playrooms. Amounts of prizes
and donors are as follows:
1.-TWO first prizes of $50 each,
Maloney Concrete Co., Inc, Fred
erick Road, Rockville; two sec.
ond prizes of $40 each, Wood
ward & Lothrop, Chevy Chase
Store and Bethesda Store; one
third prize of $50, T. w. Perry,
Bill Connecticut Avenue, Chevy
Chase; one third prize of $50,
Bell Laundry, Inc, 4706 Leland
Street, Chevy Chase; one fourth
prize of 500, Montgomery Stubs
Motors, Inc, 1900 East,West

fourth prize of $40, Fortuna, Inc,
Luggage Shop, 1905 Wisconsin
