cent.
R. F. Worthington, Federal Civil
Defence Co-ordinator, who wit-
nessed a recent Nevada, test, said
basement shelters in houses in the
13 zone---from three to , six miles
from the centre of the blast—
remained intact although some of
the houses collapsed around them.
These were a built: in,
box-shelter, a lean-to against`" a
basement wall and a portable tub-
ular steel Nix covered with corrug-
ated iron.
But a shelter from fall-out is
different froin blast shelter. The
former requires thickness rather
"" than the strength, of the latter.
The blast protection froth fall-
out-7-the radioactive dust that
settles over large areas following
an FI-Bomb blast—is an outdoor
underground shelter covered with
at least three feet of earth. A
roet-cellar would be a natural one.
The earth will provide a shield
against radiation ,and civil defence
authorities estimate that such a
shelter would cut the radiation
ineesnsity to only about 1/500th of
the rate above ground.
Next hest would be a basement
shelter. Here again, concrete' is
perhaps •,the best material. For
blast it must be reinforced, but not
for radioactivity, and the thickness
.required can be reduced by put-
ting high density materials into it.
For' those with ne prepared
shelter, the basement is the best
'place in the house to go. Radia-
tion there would be about one-
tenth what it was `outside. In a
house that has no basement, clos-
ing the windows and doors and
remaining on the first floor of an
ordinary frame house would cut
radiation by half. In a brick or
stone house radiation intensity'
would be less.
A:shelter should be stocked with
a seven-day food and water supply,
blankets, first-aid kit, flashlight
with extra batteries and a battery-
powered radio.
The middle of a large barn
would bea good ,place ,to gd in a
fall-out area if there were no other
one. Added protection could be
achieved there by stacking bales of
hay or straw around you.
A person caught in open country
in a fall-out area could reduce the
danger by remaining in his car
with the windows closed or 'taking
cover in a thick growth of trees.
If there were no time and a person
had anything to dig with, a fox
hole with sonic kind of cover
would would help.
The important thing, civil de-
fence officials say, is to get under-
something — anything that will
keep the fall-out off you.

(By Grace Middleton)
Mrs. Arnold John Lamb, a recent

bedeck,ed wagon drawn in by three
charming little girls, Misses Ar-
lene Dutot, Cheryl Steepe and
Donna Bean. There were so many
gifts and the wagon was re-loaded

to be startling. .Signifigant infes-
talons were found on every one of
tiie 07 Pons: Even the "cleanest"
showed good numbers of rats or
mice .prpsent. The total rat popu-
lation on these farms was estima-
ted to be .,300 rats, 1,500 mice!
If these tests can be taken as
representative of the whole pro-
vince—and many people feel they
can be-Hit is evident that rats are
a problem in almost every farm in
the province—even the best! -
A rat infestation is not some-
thing to be ashamed of, but it is
something to get rid of, There's
no denying that rats are one of
the filthiest, costliest of pests af-
flicting civilization. They spread
disease and destruction.; Even one
of them in your barn will .cost you
at least $20 a year. It Was estinfr.
ated that the farmers in Grey and
Waterloo lost an average of $1,000
each in one year.
It just doesn't pay to think your
'barn is free of rats, or you've only
got "one or two." If you're wise
you'll spread baits around all your
buildings immediately. You can
do it easily and safely and it will
cost ,you about $3.
