June "A prescription for

age was given by an army
doctor to doctors wives here
today.
1t. Col. ingalls, H. Sim
mons cautioned the woman's
auxiliary of the American
Medical Association against
waiting until the bombs
start falling before prepar-
ing for disaster.
An easily assembled kit Of
'iron rations" can be kept in
constant readiness in the
basement. he said.
Col. Simmons emphasized
two things about the survival

rotated frequently to keep
relatively fresh items in

rial is just like dust" Col.
Simmons said. THE main
problem is to keep fall-out
from getting into your stom-
ach where it can really do
damage"
BY Impending the can be-
fore opening it, he pointed
out. radioactive deposits are
kept out Of the food, which
is poured out of the end Of
the can that had been pro-
tected from fallout.
Water, food and shelter
will be the big three on ev-
cry homemaker's must list in
event of atomic attack, Col.
Simmons said.
In addition to water that
should be kept on hand rou-
timely on the emergency
shelf, there will be a con-
siderable amount of uncon-
taminated water around the
house. Examples:
Water in bottles in the re-
frigerator; water in the form
of ice cubes; the water-pack
of some canned fruits and
vegetables. and finally the
water heater. which contains
IS gallons or more and can
be drained by opening a tap
at the bottom.
In addition to water and
food-of which he gave a
comprehensive list - Col.
Simmons urged women to
give thought to keeping
emergency clothing and shell
ter items handy.
A final must In the nu-
clear age, said the preventive
medicine expert from San
Antonio, Tex, is "a small
battery radio with small dia-
monds marking the Conelrad
stations"
These stations may be
