Threat Of Nuclear War Features Talk At H-S Meeting Lt. Col. F. S. Wotton, co- ordinator of public survival of the County of Ontario and City of Oshawa was guest speaker at the October meeting of the Ger- trude Colpus Home and School Association. He emphasized that the threat of nuclear war is on home base now on this con- tinent, and the next war will not be overseas as in the past. Every home should have the booklet "Eleven Steps to Sur- vival", distributed by the Emergency Measures Organiza- tion, and every individual should read it and prepare accordingly. EMERGENCY MEASURES __ However, preparation is not entirely dependent upon only civilians, but this threat of war effects all levels of government, federal and provincial. The Pro- vincial Deputy Ministers have been formed into an Emergency Measures Organization in order that decisions can be made at every level in case communica- tions are knocked out during an attack. In the Oshawa-Uxbridge area, 3,000 troops are ready to be pressed into service in case of emergency. Oshawa is also working on a warning system at the present time. Lt.-Col. Wotton pointed out that there were thirteen likely targets in Ontario. However, priority targets will likely first be hit, such as harbors, launch- ing sites, military and strategic bases. Some large cities could be targets also, in order to lower the morale and strength of the nation. Cities around Osh- awa which would be likely tar- gets include, Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Montreal, and possibly London and Windsor. However, the greatest threat to Oshawa would be radioactive fallout, and all civilians should be pre- pared to cope with this problem. SHELTERS Lt. Col. Wotton pointed out that shelters for five people can be built in Oshawa for a low cost of $154 (for materials only, supplying own labor). The ef- fect of radiation is reduced to 1-100 in a basement shelter, whereas in an open basement of a brick dwelling it is only 1-20, and a basement of a frame house. only 1-10. Permits are available, and are being issued daily, from the City Hall in Osh- awa at a cost of $2 per building permit. Booklets are also avail able at the Emergency Meas- ures Organization by writing or telephoning, and include Fall- out Shelters for New House Con- struction", "Basement Fallout Shelters" and "11 Steps to Sur- vival'. After a brief question period, the speaker was thanked by Mrs. Charles Bolton. The business meeting was pre- sided over by Mrs. G. W. Luh- tala. The treasurer, Mrs. Stan- ley Russell, gave her monthly linson, Grades 5 and 6; Mrs. June Smith, Grade 6.
