After giving the historic

high on a hill overlooking the

evitable question:
Where's his men buried?"

looking up Pat Boone's and

Frontier History?

that the Boone tour would be
frontier history enough for
the day and we could get on
South toward Florida. but
someone mentioned that a
fort" was nearby.
The fort is the authentic
reconstruction of Fort Harrod
at Harrodsburg, where George
Rogers Clark prepared to
march into the old Northwest.
Chuck's comment after an
hours inspection of the fort
caused a sensation among the
three middle-aged women who
are guides at the park.

Here's What to Do
In Case of Attack

Idisconnect all electrical appli-
IanceS at home.
Do not use the telephone.
Head for the nearest escape
route in your zone. Do not try
to cross zone boundaries.
Do not attempt to reach your
family unless you can do so
without crossing zone boundaries.
If you have no car. start walk
ing. All cars leaving the city
should pick up passengers until
they are full. Buses will pick up
passengers along the escape
routes until they are full, then
drive straight out of town.
Do not abandon your car, even
though traffic causes delays. 1t
is good protection.
When the Take Cover Signal
Sounds
Seek shelter at once.
If you are in your car. roll
down the windows to protect
against flying glass. Crouch down
below the window level.
When You Reach Reception
Areas
Seek shelter or cover from
fallout.
If no cover Is available and
the bomb has gone of, roll up
the car windows again. They
will help protect you from radia-
ton.
Obey police and civil defense
officials.

Although attack may come too
suddenly to permit evacuation,
Civil Defense officials believe
there will probably be sufficient
notice for the city to be cleared
of its residents and workers be-
fore a bomb hits. And If it's pos
sible. they want everyone to
leave the city.
Their plan is not compulsory
on anyone who does not wish to
evacuate. But for those who do,
1t sets up evacuation routes along
major arteries and divides the
city into different zones or
