TO Washington Area Residents
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE
ON CIVIL DEFENSE
From the U. S. Shelter Corporation

It must be apparent to every reasonably
well-informed citizen of the United States that
the Nation has become civil defense con-
scious"
The American people in recent months
have been subjected to a steady diet of
speeches, lectures, editorials, radio and tele-
vision broadcaStS, news stories and even SER
mons on our state of preparedness, or lack of
it. We can be thankful that most of what has
been said and written has been authoritative
and well-meaning.
Unfortunately, however, much of it has
served only to confuse the public. Too many So
called experts have presented conflicting ideas
on civil defense requirements; some of the COM
mentS have been self-Serving; we even have
few soothSayers
What's more, these experts don't always
agree on Americas future Their pronounce
mentS on our prospects In nuclear war range
from imprudent optimism to abject pessimism.
How have the American people reacted?
Everyone seems to be talking about civil
defense but very few of us are doing anything
about 1t.
Obviously, this is a dangerous situation
What makes matters even worse is the fact
that many OF those who have done something
to prepare themselves and their families for
the possibility of nuclear attack have not taken
the proper steps.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE?
Over two years ago, long before most Of us
became civil defense conscious" small group
of men sincerely concerned with our lack Of
preparedness, met to form the U. S. Shelter
Corporation.
Uppermost in the minds of each was the
conviction that a nuclear war did not neces-
sariy mean the end Of our civilization. After
considerable study and research, they en-
barked on a program of survival convinced
that as long as mankind faces the threat of
a nuclear war, we must think in terms of
erationS to come.
The men and women behind the U. S.
Shelter Corporation have brought to this task
wide range of experience in civil defense
matters. Several are specialists in fields vital
to successful survival program. The preSsures
of the cold war two years ago were not as
intense as they are now, and as result the
U. S. Shelter Corporation in its early days
had more difficulty in winning support for its
underground survival program.
Nevertheless, advances were made and are
continuing rapidly.

Evidence of this can be seen In the first
family-type shelter produced by the
Shelter Corporation and made available to
the public early this month.
The ARK underground shelter, a pre-cast
concrete and steel structure weighing Ia tons
has attracted considerable attention since
being placed on display atN Seven Corners
Shopping Center in Fairfax County
When installed, under a minimum of three
feet of earth, We believe the ARK will provide
more protection for small group Cup to eight
Individuals than any other shelter in the
Washington area.
At the present time the u S. Shelter Cor
poration is busy developing plans for larger,
more complex shelters
WHY UNDERGROUND SHELTERS?
Inc U. s. Shelter Corporation does not be-
heve that basement-type fallout shelters pro-
vide sufficient protection from the effects of
a nuclear attack for persons living in a prime
target area, such as Metropolitan Washington
and surrounding counties.
II We believed that the fallout from a
nuclear blast was the only thing that WASH
ington area residents had to worry about, we'd
recommend the use of sandbags or some other
inexpensive materials Then, almost anyone
could build their own basement fallout shelter
without relying on outside help.
Basement type shelters will reduce the
effects OF radioactive fallout but in the event
of massive nuclear attack on the Metropoli-
Tan area, the vast majority OF over one million
persons would need protection not only from
fallout but also from the shock and thermal
effects of the blast itself.
We realize that, for various reasons, every
family does not have the opportunity to install
an underground DISTINGUISHING shelter
Therefore, We urge all Americans to actively
support any and all responsible programs that
seek to provide underground survival pro-
grams, not just for individuals and families,
but for whole communities schools industry
and institutions.
We also urge the American people to unite
behind the Federal government in the belief
that this Nation, adequately prepared, will sur
vive nuclear warfare.
The responsibility for civil defense begins
and ends with each and every citizen of this
country.
