J » CORNER »$» <$» eft (By Marie Schaettgev) Han Survival Under Atomic Attack Aheut Lhg«rta| Radioactivity! Knowing how to protect yourself from blast, heat and explosive radioactivity, only one major problem remains: That is how to avoid harm from lingering radioactivity Explosive radioactivity bursts from the bomb at the time of ex plosion and lasts for only more than a minute. Lingering radlokctlvfty remains for a longer time, from a few minutes to weeks or months, dopending on the kind of radioactive material Lingering radioactivity may Income a danger When atomic bombs are exploded on the ground, un derground, or in the* water. Air bursts leave no dangerous linger tng radioactivity. Most lingering radioactivity comes from left-over bomb wastes, ashes", technically called tis Sincr Easter is here and spring j sion products.

The occasion was in honor of Donna May's thirteenth has arrived (we know--because the calendar says so) we might revive that old saw about "which came first, the egg or the chicken" only --we should change it to "which came first, the egg or the ham." Easter without ham? Can't be! When there are eggs there must be ham. (We know--the ham is right here). The simplest way to prepare a ham for roasting is not to prepare it at all. Many people prefer to roast a ham "au naturelle" without cloves, without pineapple, without anything else to di&iguise the delightful flavor of good bam. (We are inclined to agree. Buy a whole ham and have the butcher saw it in half. The tenderized hams need no pre-cooking before they are baked. Just put it in a roasting pan and roast at about 300 degrees until tender. Allow at least one-half hour per pound. Tt is better to have it slightly over-done than underdone. Keep a little water in bottom Of pan during roasting period, to keep ham from drying. Baste frequently with liquor in pan. If the oven is to be used for other things the ham may be boiled in a large kettle. Do not remove skin until alter ham is removed from kettle or roasting pan. About the other half? Wrap it well in tinfoil and store in freezer until some future time when you want to "throw a party." t Victoria, British Columbia, has an average winter daytime temperature of 42 degrees above zero. The average daily sunshine is more than five and one-half hours; the average rainfall annually* tr 27 inches. S . Read the Want Ade! countless billions of fragments, or pieces, of atoms split up in the explosion. Smaller, and usually less dangerous, amounts of lingering radioactivity may be thrown off by scattered atoms of uranium or Plutonium that fail to split up when the bomb goes off. These totally invisble radioactive particles act much the same as ordinary, everyday dust. When present in any real quantity, they are scattered about in patches and contaminate, or pollute, everything they fall on, including people. While they can be removed easily from some surfaces, they stick very tightly to others. .It is practically impossible to get absolutely all of them out of household corners and cracks. Most of the time, it is far easier to prevent pollution than it is to remove it. What About Radioactive Clouds f ' In spite of the huge quantities of lingering radioactivity loosed by atomic explosions, people fortunately are not very likely to be exposed tb dangerous amounts of it in most atomic raids. Since high-level bursts do the greatest damage, that is the kind we can expect most often. When atomic weapons are exploded in mid-air, the violent, upward surge of .super-hot gases and air quickly sweeps practically all the radioactive ashes and unexploded bits of bomb fuel high into the sky. Most of them are carried harmlessly off in the drifting bomb clouds. High-level explosions definitely will not create "areas of doom", where no man j dares enter and no plant can groi|ir. ty fact, they will leave very little radioactivity on the ground, even near the point of explosion. Fire-fighters and rescue teams can move promptly toward the center of destruction with lit- FLOWERS ^ AEL SPRING CUT FLOWERS IN SEASON See Our Complete Selections of Plants LILIES HYDRANGEAS AZALEAS ROSE BUSHES TULIPS HYACINTHS AFRICAN VIOLET PLANTS .Early Ordering Appreciated CORSAGES Including - Carnations -- Gardenias AORWESR SLM STREET JVOTE: Qur New Plague Number MeHENRY 230 tie danger of taclng harmful radlation. ^ And regardless of all you may have read concerning the dangers of radioactive clouds, after the first ntflMte and a half there is actually little or nothing to fear from those produced by high-level bursts. While most of the radioactive materials swept up Into the sky eventually fall back to; earth, they are ao widely and .so thinly spread that they are very unlikely to offer any real dangers to humans. Thouaands of bombs would have to be aet off in the air before serious ground contamination would be found over really large areas. There was no ground-level pollution of any importance following either of the two Japanese atomic bombings. It was said earlier that 15 percept of the Japanese A-bomb deaths or injuries' were caused by radioactivity. But not one of them was caused by the lingering kind. Explosive radioactivity caused them all. - ';-W .A mn i M >»<»»!>inni*M City Oooncil Proceeding HHMIUMIIMMM T PITBLIC AID The Illinois Public Aid Commission is stepping up its drive to uncover ineligible persons on the old age pension, aid to dependent children and general relief rolls.
