County Needs Active Civil Defense . . •
Chattooga County—and all the world—
breathed a little easier this week as the
Cuban crisis cooled slightly.
But few. if any, Americans think we are
on a bed of roses now. Even if the Cuban
matter is resolved without fighting, we
know we will be faced with such tedious
problems as Berlin and the China-India
war. We know also that as long as commu
nism remains in Cuba, we in the Southeast
are in a particularly vulnerable position if
war should erupt.
It is most important, therefore, that
Chattooga Countians be prepared for any
eventuality, even if the Cuban problem is
settled without shooting.
Summerville citizens were gratified—
and relieved- at the efficiency and dedica
tion shown last week by its civil defense
unit. We can’t thank these men enough for
the time and energy they have expended,
and are expending, to prepare for serving us
in emergency. We know we speak for all
of Summerville when we say, “Thank you”
to them.
But all Chattooga Countians, not just
those in Summerville, need the aid that a
good civil defense organization can provide.
An active county-wide civil defense or
ganization is necessary. In fact, it should
have become active prior to this.
We have a county civil defense director.
But we do not have a county civil defense
program. We do not know why. We have
Forget Worries ami En joy Beauty . . .
Let's forget Cuba and Berlin and other
problems this week and take the oppor
tunity to enjoy the beautiful world in which
we live. In fact, perhaps we can appreciate
it all the more this week because it came
so close to destruction last week.
The vivid brush of autumn is now paint
ing the countryside in shades of gold, red
and brown, making Chattooga County
breathtakingly beautiful. We need not
travel to any other part of the state or
area to view the beauty of the season;
indeed, we ought to be inviting others to

It would be desirable for a CD director
to receive some monetary appreciation for
his efforts and for him to have some money
with which to buy equipment. We believe
a reasonable sum should be set aside for
this.
But. even if it is not, Chattooga needs a
civil defense organization, and its director,
or someone, should see that it has one.
Summerville’s civil defense organization
was begun without any financial backing
and now it gets only a pittance. The di
rector is paid nothing, although he has
given not only hours and days but also
weeks of his time. We do not advocate no
pay for the director. But neither do we
advocate "do nothing”.
The bickering should be laid aside. We
hope it will be.
As long as the two giants, communism
and democracy, stand at each other’s throat
there is ever present the threat of war.
And we cannot afford to ignore the fact
that any global war, be it nuclear or con
ventional, could involve the civilian popu
lation of our county.
We cannot afford, therefore, not to be
prepared.

BERLIN CRISIS MAY
BE NEXT, SAYS DAVIS
A crisis over Berlin is “in the
works,” Congressman John Da
vis said this week in response to
a question.
He said that the timing will
be up to Russia. Khrushchev
has been quoted as saying he
will wait until after the election
next Tuesday to bring up the
matter.
Asked whether Khrushchev’s
concession in Cuba might not
maKe President Kennery feel he
ought to make concessions in
Berlin, Congressman Davis said
he did not.
“The president has made it
clear that he will not equate the
two—Cuba and Berlin,” said
Davis. “That is, the happenings
in Cuba are not to affect the
Berlin situation.”

Summerville CD leaders met
with the LaFayette CD at their
“ready meeting.”
In the county school system,
Supt. James Spence proceeded
this week to work out details of
a school evacuation program
hastily arranged last week. And
a “dry run” was set up for this
Friday afternoon to help iron
out any further kinks.
Summerville Mfg. Co. officials
organized a meeting Monday
evening of their overseers, CD
Director Smith and Dr. Marlin
Payne, past CD director. Plans
for action in emergency are ex
pected to be announced by the
industry soon.
The supply of fallout shelter
plans has been exhausted both
on the local and state levels,
Smith said this week. He said
he has been swamped with re
quests and believes many people
are making plans to build shel
ters. Summerville had about
400 copies of the plans and all
were taken within a few days,
Smith said.
The Summerville CD con
tinued to broaden its program
by starting a radiological class
Monday evening. The radiologi
cal team will have eight mem
bers and all of them are taking
the lessons. However, others are
invited to sit in, Director Smith
said.
More classes in rescue, police
and fire fighting will start later
this month in Summerville, it
was noted.
Citizens were reminded this
week that their principal meth
od of warning to take cover
would come in the form of sirens
going on and off for an extended
period of time.
