SipeOial Speaker. From Trinidad The. Rev. K. T. Lute, M,A., San Fernando, 'Trinidad, was- the special speaker at both services in the Wesley-Willis United church, on Sunday Mr, Lute emphasised the close ' inter-relation between the educa- tional program on which the Un- ited Church is interested, • Mr. Lute also addressed the Young People's Union) and .describ-: ed the formation of .steel bands - 41Mong his boys. The steels bands, use especially tuned oil drums for instruments. " k$tardey McDonald gave the Young people an account of the Young People's 'National Convene tIon at which he had been a dele, gate. adequate shelter would save those in fringe areas where damage Would be terrific but -not miler- 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. nat infestations are . commonly • associated with. poor housekeeping. 014i:ridged buildings, refuse. piles, litter, dehris, untidiness-- even slovenliness, To some .extent, • good farmers hesitate to. admit— even to themselves,---that they've seen one or two rats around their buildings. Most of us feel a rat infestation is something to he ashamed Recently,, tests were carried out by the OAC to see how Aeriolls the rat oral= is on Ontario farms. These tests showed that rats and mice are a far more serious problem than most of us like to. believe, They also showed the falseness of thinking that a rat infestation is always. Associated with slovenliness. These tests were carried out on 57 farms in Watorloo and Grey counties, Before the tests, many of the 'farmers thought they did- n't have any rats at all, Most of thise tamers are good managers, Mrs. A. J. Lamb Honoured By Shower Last Week (By Grace Middleton) Mrs. Arnold John Lamb, a recent bride, was the guest of honour at a miscellaneous shower, held on Thursday evening of last week at the home of her mother, Mrs. Benson 1VIcCullo,ugh, Around 30 friends' and neigh- bours gathered together -to honour the former Joanne McCullough. :Mrs. Keith Miller gave two huni- orous readings, "How to‘ cook a Groom," and "A Brides Pie," Mrs. John Grigg conducted a con- test. Following this program, the guest of honour, Mis. Lamb, was enthroned in the bride's chair, and an address of good wishes was read by Mrs. Charles Cooper. , Lovely gifts were presented to the bride heaped on a beautiful 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 several times. Mrs. Lamb thank- ed her friends most charmingly for their gifts, and invited' them to call on herat her new home. Lunch concluded a delightful evening. 0 St. Andrew's WIVIS Discuss Workshop Training Schools The St, Andrew's Women's. Miss- ionary Society met at the home of Mrs. Shortreed'. ,Mrs. R.

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. -Join. the HURON 'COUNTY JUNIOR. FARMERS.
