What About ________ “Induced” Radioactivity? I <XHOS/V£ RADIOACTIVITY CAN’T ? Be KEPT OUT OF THE UPPER FLOORS ._dThti ll OP YOUR HOUSE, iO LEARN J WHAT TO EXPECT FROM IT I [IF AN atomic bomb goes off in the air within two-thirds of a mile or slightly more of your home, there is no practical way of keeping ? explosive radioactivity out of the above-ground part of your house. It • is possible that, at very short range,' artificial, or induced radioactivity could be set up in gold, silver, and many other objects. Howefer, this kind of radioactivity will never offer danger, so don’t throw away bandages and other first aid materials in the medicine cabinet. They will be perfectly safe toyUae. EVEN CANNED AND BOTTLED FOODS ’ MAY BE IRRADIATED, BUT IT WILL ~ . ; StILL BE SAFE TO USE THEM Natqrally, the radioactivity that passes \ through the walls of your house won’t be stopped by tin or glass. It can go right through canned 'and bottle foods. However, this will not make them dangerop and it will not cause them to spoil. Go ahead and use them, provided the containers are not broken open. ' ’. i . , ' .' . - |- 1 ' What About _ Sickness”? ■ VOMITING AND DIARRHEA ARE THE FIRST SIGNS OF RADIATION SICKNESS K ■ . - '.L ’ " ’ • Should you be caught upstairs or in the open at the time of a C, bombing, you might soak up a serious dose of explosive radioactivity. Eyen so. the firsf indication that you had been pierced by the rays prpbably wouldn’t show .up for a couple of hours. Then you most likely would get sick at your stomach and begin to vomit. However, you might be sick at your stomach for other reasons, too, so vomiting won't always mean you have radiation sickness. IF YOU SHOULD GET SEVERE RADIATION v SICKNESS, YOU WOULD HAVE BETTER THAN AN EVEN CHANCE OF RECOVER j * The time it would take you to get sick would depend on how stroflg . a liose got. The stronger the dose, the quicker you would get si<sc. Fori a few days you might continue to feel below par and about i twp vyeekfFlater most of your, hair might fall out. By the time you losk your hair you would be good and sick. But in spite of it all, you .<■ would still stand better than an even chance of making a complete 7 recovery, including having your hair grow in again. ‘ ; Reprinted official U.

Smith Drug Store On 90th Anniversary Decatur Drug Store Founded In 1861 The Smith Drug company, ope of the oldeet retail business firms in the city, this month is celebrating its 90th anniversary, along with the observance of the 48th annual Rexall sale, held at the store. The original fjrm was founded by the late Dr. T. T. Dorwin In 1861, Elmo Smith, manager of the drug store and son of the late Benjamin Smith, one of the early druggists in the city, explained. The elder Mr. S;nitft started work in the Dorwin and J. B.

The Smith Drttg company owns Its own building where the Btot*e is located. Last fall tfte store was entirely modernized with new cases and counters installed. It is one of the most, strikingly modern streamlined retail establishments! in the city.

Where is Best Place to THERE IS LITTLE YOU CAN DO TO PROTECT YOUR HOUSE FROM BLAST If your house is close to the explosion, there is little you can do to protect it from the bomb's blast, or pressure wave. Within onehalf mile of the surface point directly: beneath the explosion, the shobk from an atomic bomb is sure to flatten most houses. Out to a distance of about one mile, steel, brick and wooden structures are likely to be damaged beyond repair. Farther out. there is less destruction, but serious, damage may be expected to extend as far as two miles. \ IT IS BEST TO FIGURE ON COLLAPSE OF THE UPPER FLOORS AND TO TAKE COVER IN THE CELLAR It is only wise to figure that the upper floors of most buildings near the explosion will be pushed ip. This means the basement is probably the safest place to be. If you have a basement and time to get down to it. lie flat along the outer wall i>r near the base of some supporting column. You woiiH be even safer under a cellar work bench or heavy tabler Stay away from the middle of the floor where falling beams and other objects are most likely to strike you. < Naturally, you run a risk of being trapped in the wreckage, but your over-all chances of escape from the bomb in most cases are many times greater than they would be upstairs. If your basement has two exits, you will be in less danger of being trapped. BASEMENTS GIVE SHELTER AGAINST BLAST AND HEAT, AND RADIOACTIVITY Besides protecting you from blast and heat, basement* also provide shielding from explosive radiation. Because, the lower you get. the more barriers against radiation there are likely to be between you and the bursting bomb. Down in tfie cellar you’ll probably be shielded npt only by other buildings, but also by earth and the cement foundations of your own house. Earth, concrete and steel are radiation Carriers. ' j 1 t IF YOU HAVING BASEMENT, LOCATE ? A SHELTER YOU CAFf REACH QUICKLY If you have no basement, look around your immediate neighborhood for a nearby shelter ydu can get to quickly in an emergency. Such a shelter might be a culvert, a deep gully, or appther building within easy reach. If you live in rolling country, there is probably a hill close to you. Even a Jiigh bank will offer some protection from most bursts if it is between you and the explosion. In choosing ‘ your shelter, assume that the enemy Will aim for the industrial buildings. CYCLONE CELLARS AXE EXCELLENT , ' I If you live in a state where there is danger from sudden stdrms like or hurricanes, you may have a "cyclone cellar" or something similar. If so, you have a shelter that will give excellent protection against atomic bombs. bu King Features Syndicata
