A PLEA TO MOTORISTS
Our little girl will ride her bike
today,
Along a paved highway to school
Her heart so blithe and gay,
We've taught her to be careful
and obey,
All traffic rules, but she's so small
and full of glee,
As she rides her bike to school!
So should you see far down the
road
A bobbing head of brown
I wonder, would you mind so much
Just sort of slowing down?
She's all we tiave, our future
bright,
Our small and shining goal
Don't leave us with a crepe hung
door.
And Iron in our Souls.
(Editor's note: The above poem,
written by Opal Hassell is publish-
ed in behalf of the safety of all
children from traffic accidents.)

James Blake Snelling,
We met with our Den Mother,
Mrs. James Long, Wednesday. We
looked through a smoked glass at
the sun in a partial eclipse. It was
fun.
We were all present including
our Den Chief, Wayne Moses.
We played football and had
fun.
We gave the Cub Howl and went
home.

Den No. 3 met with our Den

As it was too cold to play out-
side we made a game using
marbles and a box. "We had lots
of fun seeing who could get the
highest score.
All were present including our
Den Chief, Wayne Moses and as-
sistant Den Chief, Dale Johnson.
Mrs. Elsie Sartain served us

ground, at ground level, or in the
water, stay in your shelter. If
caught in the open, get indoors
right away. Then stay indoors for
at least an hour or until you get
instructions. It may be necessary
to stay inside for three or four
hours. The reason for this is that
most lingering radioactivity loses
its power very fast. So staying
undercover for a while will greatly
reduce the danger.
Any rain or mist that comes
right after an atomic explosion
should be considered dangerous,
even though it may not always be
radioactive. Keep from getting wet
if you possibly can.
And remember that an air burst
will leave no lingering radioactivity
of importance, so after a few min-
utes it will be safe to get out and
help fight fires or to help people
who may need it.
How Is Radioactivity
Detected?
While we cannot see, hear, feel,
smell or taste radioactivity, its pre-
sence readily can be detected with h
Geiger counters and other in-
struments. However, you won't
have to know how to use one of
these. Instead, you can rely on g
your local radiological defense
teams—a small, specially trained
corps of "meter readers"—to
warn you of the presence of
lingering radioactivity. You also
can count on them to see to it *
that firefighters, rescue workers,
and other people who may have
to enter contaminated places do
not remain there long enough to
be injured.
But always remember our sun-
light comparison. There is usually
a whale of a difference between
detectable and dangerous amounts ®
of radioactivity. The rays and
particles from an ordinary, lumi-
nous-dial wrist watch will cause a
roar in the earphones of a Geiger •
counter ,as just one example. We
must not lose our heads just be-
cause radioactivity is reported as
present. V

SURVIVAL
What About Ground
And Water Bursts?
Bursts on or near the ground
usually will leave a limited area
of rather heavy and often dang-
erous pollution near the explosion
point. In such cases, the possibility
of harm from radioactivity fall in:,
out of the clouds is greater than
in high-level explosion But even
so, a person could csc:ipe con! ami
nation by simply taking refuge in- j
side a house or even by getting in-!
side a car and rolling up the win- j
(lows. And even if some of th. j
wastes fell on him, he would lessen
his chances of injury if he prompt-
ly shed his clothes and took a bath
or shower.
In underwater explosions, large
portions of the bomb's radioactive
wastes will be "trapped" by the
water and then spread over the
immediate area. Under these con-
ditions, serious ground pollution
is to be expected.
Af!cr a water of underground
burst a cloud of very radioactive
mist or dust might form and
spread, particulp-!y downwind, in-
juring people who weren't well
sheltered.
If the explosion has Deen under-
