BabsOn Discusses FallOut

BABSON PARK, MASS, Sept
ember pa featured article in
Life Magazine for September Is
1861 makes some statements re-
garding "fallout'' which need
careful checking and analysis.
What Kennedy Did Not Say
In the Presidents letter which
preceded the article, the Presi-
dent said:
1.-The government is NOV
ing to improve the protection
afforded you in your commu-
mites through civil defense.
We have begun, and will be
continuing throughout the
next year and a half, q surv-
ey of all public buildings with
fallout shelter potential, and
the marking of those with
adequate shelter for so per-
sons or more We are provid-
ing fallOut shelter in new and
in some existing federal build
ings. We are stocking these
shelters with one weeks food
and medical supplies and
two weeks water supply
for the shelter occu-
pants :"
Neither the President nor Life
Magazine made clear the diff
ference between the effect of the
explosion of an H-Bomb and the
resultant fallout. If an H-Bomb
shoud strike a city, the blast
would probably kill 81 per cent
Of the people. No ordinary fall
out shelter" would be of any
use. But the failout which would
drift from this explosion would
also Be deadly. However, il all
the nations people had proper
shelters. 81 per cent of the ,peo-
pie not killed By the blast might
survive the faIlout drifts.
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1961-10-03
Cost OF Fall0ut Shelters


Even three per cent of those
in shelters who might die from
fright or from other causes in
the course of two weeks amount
to about 5000, 600 people. Hence
the scope of the entire project
of shelters is stupendous. / have
had survey made of an average
home shelter; the minimum cost
quoted is $3.50. This is for a
shelter in a basement 100 miles
from the center of a large city
which might be bombed. AS the
distance becomes less than $50
miles, the price of the shelter
Increases. No shelter within five
miles of where the bomb hits
would be of any use. At least
80 per cent of those within this
radius of five miles would be
killed under any conditions
shelters Or no shelters.
Wants Of Berlin Inhabitants
We are constantly told what
Mr.. Khrushchev wants; also
what President Kennedy wants;
but we have never heard what
the people of Berlin want, or do
not want. OF course they want
food, water, and heat. They
feel that the West Germans will
see that they get these. But they
certainly do not want a Shoot
ing war" between Russia and the
Western Allies, with Berlin get
ting the worst of 1t all IN the cen

Therefore. as q practical mat

DARENTS of every school age child in
Prince Edward County will receive
a letter and a QUESTIONABLE this week
from the Prince Edward School Board.
The Board explains that it is proceed
ing under an order of the District Fed
eral Court april 1860 ito make plans

schools of the county without regard to
race or color and to receive and consider
application to such schools so that, if

In order to plan intelligently the
School Board must know how many
pupils will attend the integrated public
schools. The only way to ascertain this
information is to have these question
naires filled and returned. Plans for
facilities and faculties could then be
made with some certainty.
