the THING Determines
Degree of Radioactivity

Some call it the ''thing. -
Its rightful name is Remote
Reading High Intensity Constant
Monitoring Device. Located on
Dover Air Force Base, the
"thing" is the only instrument
of its kind in use today. 1t was
developed by the Disaster Con-
troll office at Dover Air Force
Base.
At this point you are wonder
ing just what the thing does
or isl Presently 1t does nothing,
and it is hoped that its use
will never be required. In ap-
pearance the "thing" is a big
red concrete ball on top of a
piece of culyert pipe which
serves as a stand. 1t is not
particularly attractive and Of
fers no daily return for all the
time and effort put into building
1t.
The structure is designed to
give Dover Air Force Base and
the surrounding area measure
of nuclear radiation intensities
created by fallout in the event
of nuclear attack.
In order for the device to
give remote readings the scale
can be removed and placed In
the base command post (head-
quarters for operations during
emergency conditions.) Men do
not have to go outside to take
fallout count.
The ''thing" answers a need
created by the limitations of
present day radiation detection
instruments. All other avail
able radiation detection instru-
ments are limited to measuring
low levels of radiation. They
also require exposure ofpeople
to obtain readings and can only
be read periodically.
BY using the "thing", Dis
aster Control people at Dover
can measure very high levels
of radiation. Readings up to 1900
roentgens per hour (measure of
radio activity can be recorded
by the "thing" without exposing
human monitors to radiation.

If you're driving at night and

well be the cause.

PERSONS 65 AND OVER

During this 3o-day period,
Delaware residents in this age
group, not already members,
are being offered two types OF
protection:
65-National Senior Citizens
Program is a completely new
contract especially designed
for persons enrolling after
age 65. Based on a careful
study of the needs of senior
citizens of Delaware, this
contract offers 70 days Of
hospital benefits per con-
fnement, plus liberal sur
gical-medical benefits. In
dividual monthly dues are
$12.75.
65-Limited Contract, which
was first introduced in 1859,
provides per hospital con-
finement, 80 days of hospital
care at maximum benefits
plus up to $40 a day to-
ward all services for the
next 80 days. Individual
monthly dues are S7.31.
There are no upper-age lin
its. No health statements or
examinations are required.
Benefits are based on the needs
of Delaware senior citizens.
Memberships accepted in No
vember will become effective
January l, 1868.
There is nothing new or
unusual about Delaware Blue
Cross and Blue Shield provid-
ing health care for people age
65 and over. Since the Della
ware Plan began in 1885, per-
sons joining before age 65 con-
tinued to be members after 65.
And, since 1859, persons join
ing after 65 have been offered
the 65-Limited Contract. To-
gether, the 65-Limited and the
new 65 : National Contracts
broaden the care available to
the 65-and-over age group and
offer a choice of low or high
level protection.

you have parents, relatives, or

you wish to help-call or write
