ATOMIC BOMB
Life Savers
By
ERNEST VANDIVER
Director of Civil Defense, State of Georgia
What should I do if I am caught in the open in a sneak attack? How
will I know exactly when the bomb goes off? '
The blinding flash of the explosion will be your first warning; it is a
light that enters everywhere. No matter where you are, your first move
ment is to dive for the ground. Outdoors, if you are within a step or two of
a doorway, get there quickly. Otherwise, dive for the ground, shielding
your eyes and face in the crook of your arm. Indoors, if you’re near a bed,
desk or couch dive for it; otherwise just dive for the floor, keeping away
from windows. Act instantly—your maximum tijne limit may be only one
to three seconds.
Is a sneak attack possible?
Unfortunately, yes. Our defenses are not yet perfect, and a skillful
enemy may get through to our cities without being detected.

with any car—and you get this performance along with an

this makes Pontiac’s low price even more remarkable.
And not only is Pontiac priced right down next to the lowest
but it also saves you money every mile you drive. And to
top off Pontiac’s low cost you can look ahead to its assured
high resale value. Why not come in and let us prove it?
