Jackets, 58-al, al the Decatur 1 gym. •'The Comets have now won five Conference games and lost bne. whUe other loop teams have lost at jeast two NEIC contests. Decatur finished its league season last night, - winding up" with two wins and five losses. Hot-shooting Johnny Thrapp, Kendallville junior, led his Comets to their victory last night with a fine total of 24 point,s on 12 field goals, hitting from all angles, particularly in the first quarter when * he hit four and in the third, when he bit six. The I’ellow Jackets dominated play through imost of the first half ■i but had difficulty making their good shots stiok, L enabling the Codiets to stay oh their heels. : ' The teams were tied at 13-13 at i ,t'ho first quarter, with all the Jacket starters contributing \'to 'the scoring, while Thrapp’s eight points highlighted the Kendallville, attack. ■ i '? -' .

td ; ■ What About Radioactivity? RADIOACTIVITY IS THE ONLY WAY Resides size jn which atomic bombs r • DIFFEE FROM ORDINARY ONES

| IN ALL stories about atomic weapons, there ds a great deal about \ radioactivity. ' I b Radioactivity is the only way—besides size—in which the, effects a of A or H bombs are different from ordinary bombs. But, with the r exception of underwater or ground explosions, the radioactivity from atomic bursts is much less to be feared than blast and heat. WE KNOW MORE ABOUT RADIOACTIVITY THAN WE DO ABOUT COLDS Radioactivity is nbt new or mysterious. In the form of cosmic ; ; rays from the all of us have been continually bombarded by | radiation every hour and day of our lives. We all have also breathed , and eaten very small amounts of radioactive materials without I‘ knowing it. For over half a century, doctors and scientists have experimented and worked with X-rays and other penetrating forms of energy. Because of all this experience, we actually know much more about radioactivity and what it does to people than we know about • infantile paralysis, colds, or some other common diseases. It is easy to understand how radioactivity works if we think of Row sunlight behaves. nFROM RADIOACTIVITY DEFENDS ON JHB ROWER RAYS AND MOW LONG YOU WERE [ ’ EXPOSED AND MOW MUCH OF YOUR BODY WAS HIT ' 1 ' n J ! 1 Sin the northern part of the world, winter’s slanting sun gays seldom cause sunburn, but the hotter rays of the summer sun often do. Still, Just a few moments in the midsummer sun will not give you a I tan or sunburn. You have to stay in its hot rays for some time before you get a burn. What’s nipre, bad sunburn on Just the face and hands may hurt, but it won’rseriously harm you. On the other hand, if it covers your whole body, it can make you very sick, or sometimes even cause death. > in the same way. the harm that can come to you from radioactivity will depend on the power of the rays and particles that strike.you, upon the length of time you are exposed to them, and pn how much of your body is exposed. 1.-.; IO ' r ;

» What is “Initial” Radioactivity? * EXPLOSIVE RADIOACTIVITY IS THE MOST f IMPORTANT KIND, BUT IT LASTS ONLY A MOMENT

L 'X Broadly speaking, atomic explosions produce two different kinds K of radioactivity. First—and most important in an air burst—is an extremely powerful invisible burst of rays and particles thrown off at the time of explosion. This kind is called “initial" or explosive * radioactivity. Its rays and particles fly otot quickly, then promptly ? , V Reprinted from the official U. 8. government report. , — ._______ ■ ,i- ■ . .

' THE BIGGEST DANGER FROM EXPLOSIVE I - RADIOACTIVITY LIES WITHIN A MILE OF THE. EXPLOSION The injury range of the. explosive radioactivity from a modern A-bomb is a little over one mile, if the bomb is exploded about 2.000 feet in the air. If it is exploded much higher, some of the radiation may not reach the ground, so the range may be less. If it Is exploded much lower, the radiation also may not reach out as fat*, because it would be blocked by the ground or. by buildings. a. little more than a mile away, the principal effects ,of the few dying rays that struck you could be seen only as temporary blood changes in a doctor’s examination. You probably wouldn’t even realize you had been exposed. 1 A little less than a mile'from the explosion center, if you are unprotected, you are almost sure to suffer illness. Less than two-thirds of a mile away, those caught in the open are pretty sure to soak up li a fatal dose of radioactivity. BUILDINGS WILL PABTALLY OP COMPLETELY SHIELD YOU Still, the possibility of your being caught without some protection is not very great. Even if you are on the street, there is a good change that a building, or many buildings, will be between you and the burst, and they will partially or completely shield you. YOU ARE MORE UKELY TO BE HURT s BY BLAST AND HEAT THAN BY RADIATION Atomic explosions high above ground cause the most widespread damage. And, as happened in Japan, when an A-bomb goes off in the air you are far more likely to be hurt by the bomb’s blast and heat waves than by its radioactivity. At Hiroshima and Nagasaki slightly oyer one-half of all deaths and injuries were caused by blast. Nearly one-third of the casualties were from the heat flash. Radioactivity alone caused only about 15 per cent of all deaths and injuries. EXPLOSIVE RADIOACTIVITY IS LESS OF A DANGER IN GROUND-LEVEL QR UNDERWATER BURSTS If the bomb were to go off close to the ground, or slightly below its surface, the range of the explosive radiation, as well as the range of the blast and heat, would be reduced. This is due to the fact that i all three would be partially blocked by the earth, by nearby buildings and by other obstacles. r In an underwater burst, there would be much less to fear from blast and nothing to feir from heat. Practically all the explosive radioactivity would be absorbed by the water. However, there would be the second type of radioactivity to be described later on. distributed bv Kina Features Syndicate J
