Civil Defense
~ Procedures For
Nuclear Attack
By MARY JANE HAMMACK
Civil Defense Director
With the sudden crisis in world af
fairs that developed when President
Kennedy addressed the nation, we
find ourselves once more faced with
a natural desire to survive a possible
nuclear war,
Our Civil Defense Office has had
many calls by people asking “What
must we do? “Where can I get infor
mation about where to go, plans for
a shelter, what should we store in our
homes in the way of food, water and
sc on?” ‘
First of all you should know the
signals and what they mean. Then you
should know what to do when you
hear these signals. It must be assum
ed that our neztion will be kept in
formed by television, radio and news
paper. We can keep abreast of the‘
developments of the situation. So be-‘
fore it becomes necssary to sound any
alert you should do something.
Stock Food, Water
You should have enough food in
your homes to sustain you and your
family for at least one week, prefer
ably two weeks, Don't forget that wa
fer is much more vital than food, so
store water well in advance. Emer
gency sanitation facilities must be
considered, because if our water mains
are broken, our deep wells idle be
cause of loss of electric power, our
bathrooms in our homes will not be
usable,
If your home has survived the blast
of a nuclear attack your home will
protect you from the heat ray but
your house may catch fire. Do you
have fire-fighting equipment handy?
Do you know how to fight fire? We
have booklets that will teach you
how in just a few minutes’ reading
time.
These and many other things should
be done before an attack develops.
If you hear the outdoor warning sys
tem it will be a long steady blast of
the Civil Defense sirens, This will be
followed as the attack develops with
a warbling tone of the sirens up and
down, for three minutes.
Hearing the first alert, . . the steady
tone . . .. go lhome . Stores will close,
banks will close, businesses should
close and everyone goes home.
School Children
Under any alert, all school children
will be kept in school. This is done
for the following reasons: Parents will
know where their children are, they,
will have supervision of the teach-]
ers, companionship of other students.
All schools have their own cafeterias,
all schools have toilet facilities. Fu
thermore, the school building will pro
tect children from the heat ray and
also give some protection from fall
out.
To try to go get your child means
that hundreds of other mothers and
fathers will want to do the same
thing and we will have a tremendous
traffic problem that would only trap
those in the traffic jam, which in turn
can easily result in all being killed.
If the children try to run home they
will expose themselves to the blast
and heat which will incinerate them
even miles away from the detonation.
So warn all children to stay in school,
or wherever they are should a blast
oceur,
Next, I will bring you more infor
mation about what you should do in
your own home.

A Thought for Today . By: Edsel W. Bryvan
“Conscience is a sacred sanctuary where God Alone
may enter as judge. . . . ."Lamennias
There is perhaps nothing in our moral makeup
quite as persistent as the dictates of our conscience.
It is difficult to anticipate the extent of self-guiit
that a healthy and working conscience can install in
its owner. Often this sting of conscience is sufficient
to halt a reprehensible act short of completion, or,
failing that, to at least show the way to undoing the
wrong.
In the final analysis conscience is a personal and
private property shared by the individual and his
Creator,

POWER INGREDIENT in Super Shell works for world
champion driver Phil Hill (above, in Ferrari racer). Hill,
first American to win the World Championship for Drivers,
relies on Super Shell. One important reason: power. Today’s
Super Shell contains “cat-cracked” gasoline—a power ingre
dient made by cracking heavier petroletm molecules into
lighter, livelier ones. It works to give you the power you
o v
need for top performance.

MILEAGE INGREDIENT in Super Shell is Platformate.
Shell scientists test it in many cars, many places. In a recent
test in San Francisco (above), exactly 250 cc. (about half a
pint) of fuel without Platformate was fed into test car. Car ran
until fuel was used up, then coasted to a stop (left). Distance:
6186 feet. Test was repeated, using same blend of fuel with
Platformate added. Same amount of fuel. Same car. Same
conditions. In this test, Super Shell with Platformate took
car 6454 feet (right), gave a mileage bonus of 4.3 percent.

NOISE-FIGHTING INGREDIENTS in Super Shell work
for a quiet engine at all speeds. Shell scientists even use a
stethoscope (above) to check effect of Super Shell’s anti-knock
ingredients. One of these ingredients, an anti-knock mix, is
so effective that a teaspoon per gallon can boost anti-knock
rating five points. Alkylate, another Super Shell ingredient,
is noted for controlling knock in hot engines at high speeds
better than anything else yet available.

TCP* AND FOUR OTHER INGREDIENTS complete
Super Shell’s 9-ingredient blend. TCP additive can help re
store power lost due to combustion deposits —can also extend
spark plug life. Butane is for quick starts. Pentane mix helps
engines run smoothly during “warm-up.” The gum preven
tive ingredient is to help keep carburetors clean inside. And,
when the weather calls for it, Super Shell contains an anti
icer. That's nine ingredients in Super Shcll—scientificu”y
blended to give your car top performance.
*Trademark for Shell's unique gasoline additive. Gasoline contai.zing TCP is covered by U.S. Patent 2889212,
