Details on home decontamination
methods to be used following a ra-
dioactive shower are contained in
TN 11-6 and ALB 179. The manuals
identifying letters and number
should be given with all requests
for copies, Mr.. Stow said.
Home shelters, he stressed should
contain clothing, bedding, food and
water for at least three days.
Flashlights and battery operated
radios for receiving official instruc-
tions should also be ready.
"Once a person takes shelter dur
ing d fallout," Mr.. Stow stressed,
'he should remain there until he
gets official notice that it is safe
TO leave. This probably will come
over the radio or through mobile
public address units. Though radia-
ton strength dies rapidly, it may
70 conule of days. or even longer
before it is safe to leave shelter,
iIunce the need for several days
supply of food and water"
Strongly recommended for homes
20 miles or less from congested
cities or major military and indus
trial installations are the trench
tvpe shelters, equipped with proper
air intakes and surface doors to
prevent radioactive dust from get
ting into the entryway.
other type shelters also are re-
commended in the federal manual
for homes outside a probable attack
area but within reach of fallout,
which includes almost every dwell
ing.
If no shelter is available in time
of attack, caves or cellars with
Milford chronicle., 1955-08-12

three feet or more of earth offer
adequate protection, Mr.. Stow said.
Additional shelter can be provided
by closing off window wells, ex-
terror entrances and by banking ex-
posed walls with earth.
In homes without easements, in
terror Gtility rooms or large closets
form The best shelter. Doors and
windows should be shielded.
For office buildings and apart
ments, Easements and sub-base-
ments should be used when no spec
ial shelter is offered. If basement
space is inadequate, interior areas
of other floors, except the top two,
will give some protection.
In large single story or two story
industrial plants without base
ments, shelter areas should be Sc
lected in the interior of the plant
well removed from the outside
walls. False roofs of metal or wood
should be erected over these inte-
rior ''cover areas" and exposed
walls and windows should be
shielded to keep out contaminated
material.
On farms, large dairy or live
stock barns which have hay filled
lofts will offer some protection.
These. too. should be furnished with
central "cover areas"
Large public buildings, such as
schools, churches and auditoriums
also may be furnished with cen
tralized "cover areas.
Along highways, especially main
evacuation routes, Civil Defense
advises public shelters of the
trench variety. Culvert pipe shell
ters with timber framing and earth
covering also are recommended.

Heat Gets Trees, Too;
Mulches May Save Them

Mulches are Just what many
trees and shrubs need TO get
through a scorching. soaring sum-
mer.
A 1-to-2 inch mulch of peat moss,
spagum moss, compost, march hay
or other good mulch placed at the
foot of a tree or shrub may pre-
vent it from being injured or killed
during the hot days ahead.
According to Don Cantwell, Man
ager of the Bartlett Tree Expert
Co, more injury TO trees and shrubs
occurs during hot weather than in
a cold winter. The sun heats the
soil-especially around trees such
as birches, eyergreens and young
trees on lawns in new housing de-
velopments-until the roots are
cooked. Then troubles begin.
Mulches normalize temperature
of the soil. preventing it from get
ting too hot and help conserve vital
soil moisture. Mulches should be
packed down but not too thick near
trunkline. Remember, pines, spruce
and other evergreens especially
need much. Needles that fall should
be left, never raked up.

How To Protect
Self From n
Atom FallOut

The latest official data on how
the public can protect itself from
radioactive "fallout" following a nu-
clear bomb explosion points up the
need for every Delaware family
rural or urban-to have a home
shelter stocked with emergency
supplies.
That's the answer I give to the
numerous inquiries we get on what
TO do about the 'fallout' threat, "
according to Frederick Stow, chief
of the State Department of Civil
Defense special weapons defense
division
He also issued "fallout" advice
today to office workers, factory
personnel, farmers, motorists and
apartment dwellers.
There is no need for alarm if
proper precautions are taken" said
Mr.. Stow. Almost any shelter will
reduce the danger of radiation. An
ordinary frame house will provide
some protection. and a basement
shelter even more. Practically COM
plete protection is offered by a
simple underground shelter with a
| three-foot earth covering"
Fallout, he explained, is the lethal
radioactive dust from a nucleaT
blast which may be carried hun
dreds of miles by high altitude
winds before falling to earth on
cities and farms alike.
Evacuation-gettin out of the
fallout paths the best defense,
Mr.. Stow said, but warned that the
public should not move without
official orders lest people fee di-
rectly into rather than away from
the deadly dust"
If there is no time for evacua-
ton or no Official orders, civilians
must take shelter. Official instruc-
tions on how to build various types
of home shelters are given in the
federal Civil Defense manual TN
5-5, copies of which may be OBJ
tanned by writing d. Preston Lee,

If the warnings indicate that a
serious disaster threatens Del
aware, the state CD will station a
liaison agent at the Weather Bureau
TO pass along first hand informa-
tion on the meteorological situation
to the state CD. Mr.. Lee explained
The new law on natural disas-
ters specifically charges the state
Civil Defense with responsibility for
furnishing advance warnings when
possible. The Law also makes CD
responsible for rescue and evacua-
tioD work.
Organization OF the CD storm

announcement by Senator j. Allen
Frear that the u. s. Weather Bur-
eau office at the airport is now
hooked up for the first time with

HE FILES CASE

PIERSON, Mich. - up - Blind
Alton Petrie. who operates small
hardware store, was mystified when
small amounts of cash disappear
ed daily from a leather pouch
where he kept receipts. He devised
his own trap. He filed identifying
marks on several coins and asked
other merchants TO watch for them.
The trap bagged three boys, who
admitted their raids had netted
about $25.
Milford chronicle., 1955-08-12

For persons caught in the open,
bitches, open-end culverts under
roads, foxholes. tents with sand
bagged walls. caves and ravines
offer shelter. When possible, the
open end of such makeshift shelters
should be covered by canvas cloth
or even clothing to reduce the dan
ger of exposure.
