HOME ALARM which could be plugged into an ordinary electric
socket to sound a buzzer or bell and light signal of approaching
air attack, tornado or other natural disaster is shown in three
small units Hop level) and larger versions (second level). Also
shown are clock and radio which could be activated by the Nation
al Emergency Alarm Repeater (NEAR). These alarms are pres
ently being developed under contract to the Federal Civil Defense
Administration. NEAR would be triggered by a signal over the
nation's power lines to provide an alarm inside homes, where
residents might be asleep or otherwise not hear present siren
alarms. Civil defense Conelrad radio would then provide survival
details.
National Grange Urges
More Federal CD Power
The need for increased Federal
responsibility for the national
civil defense program has been
adopted by the National Grange
as a key point in its new civil
defense policy.
The Grange delegate body,
meeting in annual session at
Rochester, N. Y., also called for
increased Federal grants-in-aid
to State, metropolitan and rural
civil defense to further ‘effec
tice civil defense planning and
operations.”
* » *
THE GRANGE, representing
some 700,000 farm family mem
bers in 37 states, also urged:
1. Strengthening of the U. S.
civil defense corps.
2. Greater emphasis on the
role of rural support areas in
civil defense planning and op
erations.
3. Periodic publication of
information by the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture on
its capability to provide
emergency food to attack
and support areas.
4. Outright Federal dona
tion of radiological survey
meters for detecting radio
active fallout.
The Grange also pledged itself
to "work for necessary govern
ment action” to designate ample

The resolution stipulated that
“such reserves (should) be in
proportion to the stocks of mili
tary equipment and supplies
considered to be necessary to
our national security.”

Practical Device Would
Give Fulltime Warning
A single button is pressed, and in millions of homes
throughout the nation a buzzer or bell rouses the sleeping
occupants to the danger of attack on the United States.
Fantastic as it may seem, this
is now feasible through the use
of a newly-developed simple
alarm receiver which would be
triggered by a signal transmitted
over ordinary power lines. How
ever, Federal Defense Adminis
tration (FDCA) officials empha
size that this is not available at
the present time.
The small plastic-covered box,
known as the “National Emer
gency Alarm Repeater,” or NEAR,
was developed by the Midwest
Research Institute of Kansas
City, Mo., under a research con
tract from FCDA.

THE UNlTS— which plug an
ordinary wall socket like a small
night light—also would light up
for the benefit of the hard-of
hearing. In mass production,
they would get about $5 apiece.
The NEAR mechanism, which
can also be adapted to set off
electric alarm clocks or turn on
radios, is triggered by a 120-
cycle voltage of about three volts
superimposed on the regular 60-
cycle home electric power sup
ply. It is not enough to affect
regular power service.
If the device becomes wide
ly accepted by householders,
it could solve a pressing civil
defense problem of how to
warn people of possible at
tack or natural disaster when
they are asleep, or indoors
where sirens arc often in
audible, or not listening to
radio or television broadcasts
which would bring word of
danger. It would supplement
but not replace existing
warning systems.
NEAR would flash only the
first danger alert. People would
then be expected to tune in their
standard radio dials to 640 or
1240 kilocycles to receive details
and survival instructions over
the Conelrad emergency radio
system.

CIVIL DEFENSE and MRI offi
cials point out that the warning
system and low-cost gadget could
be used in emergencies other
than enemy attack. It would pro-
aircraft from 400.000 sky watchers fill in “blind
spots” in the nation's radar net and provide
sufficient warning to alert military and civil de
fense forces and the populace to danger of
attacking planes. (Canton, 0., Air Force Fitter Centex)
THE SUMMERVILLE NEW S
vide instant warning, and great
er peace of mind, to residents of
tornado belts or areas threat
ened by other natural disasters.
NEAR already has been satis
factorily tested and generally ac
cepted by six midwestern power
companies. When most of the
nation's electric companies have
accepted it, their interconnecting
power grid could become a
ready-made warning net.
FCDA GENERATORS
AID CONNECTICUT
AFTER ICE STORM
Power in the pinch was fur
nished to public shelters, public
institutions and even dairy
farms on a limited basis by civil
defense portable generators in
the wake of a recent Connecticut
ice storm described as ‘the
worst in 35 years.”
Sixteen generators—eight each
from Federal Civil Defense Ad
ministration stockpiles at Tor
rington, Conn., and Wingdale,
N. Y.—provided emergency elec
tricity during a power failure af
fecting an estimated 85,000
homes.
* * *
THE GENERATORS were
brought in to provide lighting
for public shelters in four towns.
When these proved unnecessary,
they were used by police and
i public institutions.
Reporting the serious milk
production and storage prob
lem, The Hartford Courant
for December 17, 1956, also
noted that “farmers . . . were
faced with the problem of
milking herds without the
use of mechanical milkers.
“The situation was remedied
largely with the use of CD and
private portable generators.
These were taken from one dairy
farm to another, stopping only
long enough to milk the herds.
A CD official said no significant
milk shortage or spoilage had
been reported.”

Pabest Remer Duke
Is Used for Program
The County Agent, M. H. Pur
cell, announced this week that
Pabest Remer Duke ia $5,000
bull) is now being used in Chat
tooga County’s Artificial Breed-
ing program. This bull was ap
proved on the record of 22
daughters producing an average
of 14,835 pounds of milk an
nually which exceeded their
Dams’ milk production by 2,910
pounds.
He said that the belief some
have that “The best cost more”
doesn’t exactly hold true when
it comes to breeding dairy cows.
Actually, artificial breeding is
the cheapest breed service avail
able to the farmer. No farmer in
the county could own a five
thousand dollar bull, but every
farmer can obtain the service of
one through the artificial breed
ing program.
The other bulls used in the
American Breeders Service stud
are proven and are in the top
five percent of all bulls proven
in the United States.
Semen for the three major
dairy breeds; Holstein, Guernsey,
Jersey is received four times a
week.
The county agent states that
the program is still growing but
there are many farmers and
some dairymen not using this
service.
Business spokesmen have
warned of higher prices and un
employment. President George
Meany of the AFL-CIO saw a
possibility of business activity
falling off during the latter half
of the year.
