Nat'I USO Tribute
 Celebrated Nov. 16

The fourth annual celebration of USO Pal Day will be marked this year on November 16 as national tribute to the more than 5000, ,OOO men and women in uniform who are manning the defenses of demo- cracy around the world.
 According to MT. John A. Gib- bons, chairman of the Kodiak USO Committe, it is felt that one day is not sufficient for a community the size of Kodiak to cover the increas- ed military personnel stationed here. The local USO Committee has, therefore, requested that the Mayor of the City of Kodiak pro- claim the month of November Pal Month in Kodiak.
 While the USO is serving as of ficial sponsor of USO Pal Month, the local committee will enlist the cooperation of every segment of the civilian population. Veterans organizations, business and civic groups, trade unions, religious or ganizations and women's clubs will be invited to join in a program of hospitality and friendship. Through this Pal Month program,

service personnel will be invited to the private homes of families of the City of Kodiak for meal and genuine hospitality. Through this demonstration of mutual friend ship this program narrows down to personal relationship between a united people. It signifies mili- tary power built upon a foundation of civilian support.

w. ar By Asona Bombs s Told To Rotary Club

Rotary m m bers listened to speakers from near and far at their meeting held Tuesday. Dr. Theron Chastain of New York and Comdr. c. A. Erickson of the Ma val Station were the two speakers. The two constrasting subjects of Christianity and warfare by the atom bomb were the subjects heard discussed.
 Dr. Chastain, who is Executive Secretary of the American Baptist Home Missionary Society, spoke briefly on his short visit to Alaska and Kodiak. He stated he was par ticularly impressed with the CO., operation the Church here is re- ceiving from the citizens of Ko- diak, and also the interest mani fested in the Societies Mission here.
 The principal speaker at the luncheon, Commander. Erickson, Officer in charge of the Public Works Department at the Naval Station, gave an Illuminating talk on the subject, 'sThe, Atom Bomb and You"
 What would you do if the Atom Bomb was dropped on Kodiak" was the opening question of the speaker. He then went on to ex- plain the various types of bombs, contrasting the explosive power of the "A" bomb with that of the ssH" bomb, and these in turn with that of t.n.t., which he stated wasn't as effective. He pointed out that the two bombs had a thermal energy effect that the latter did not pos SesS, when set off at the surface of the earth. This element known as radio activity, the speaker pointed out can neither be seen, smelt, tasted or heard. Radio activity is invisible" he said.
 He then went on to illustrate the steps the Navy Department has been taking to detect and protect the citizens and its personnel alike from the effects of radio activity. He showed various instruments, such as photographic, badge, which has a small sensitized film enclosed which detects this ele- ment, and anothe instrument which recorded the amount of dos age received while it was worn. He showed still others which the Navy has developed which recorded ra- dio activity. He very graphically illustrated with drawings the ef- feet of this element on the tissues of the human body.
 Commander Erickson gave sev- eral ways of avoiding death by ra- dio activity. One was the evacua- ton from an affected area. Water is the safest place on which to be-" he said. The element hits the wa ter and it does not have to sink very far before it becomes ineffec- tive. "You have natural here in Kodiak in case of an attack, with the water all around you" the said. If you can be protected for three days, he stated, your chances of death by this cause are lessened.
 sThe Navy has been in the fore front in developing protective measures against the effects of ra- dio activity in bombings," Com mander Erickson concluded.
 Present at the luncheon as guests were: Capt. Goodwin of the Lucidor; Dr. Paul Yeager; Dr. Bob Johnson and Capt. Kenneth Love land, the latter two men becoming members.
