What About Radios and . Telephones? EVEN THOUGH YOUR TELEEHONE MAY CONTINUE TO WORK, USB IT ONLY FOR THUE EMERGENCIES f , NEITHER explosive nor lingering radioactivity has any effect on the operation of most mechanics! or electrical Unless the wires are down or there is a power failure, both your lights and telephone should continue to work. But don’t rush to the phone just to find out how Aunt Susie may have weathered the attack. Leave the lines open for real emergency traffic. The : bomb’s radioactivity will not interfere with the operation of your, radio. In the event of attack, be sure to turn it oh. It may be your main source of emergency instructions. And don’t forget: Battery-operated portable sets, including those installed in automobiles. will continue to work even if the city power goes off. Television reception, like radio, won't be "jammed by radioactivity. x Whaf About Automobiles? KEEP THE FAMILY CAR OFF THE STREET. 7fPWj| RADIOACTIVITY WILL NOT INTERFERE 7 A . WITH ITS OPERATION One more household suggestion: In times of emergency don’t park the family automobile on the street. Leave the way clear for emer- \ gency traffic. Keep the windows rolled up to prevent possible contamination of the interior by underwater or ground bursts and don’t’worry whether or not it will run. Radioactivity won’t interfere with operation of its fuel or ignition system. . \ What About Children? » EVERYTHING IN THESE ARTICLES APPLIES \ TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY mlWlMi ¥5 Everything in these articles holds true for all members of the famReprinted from the official U.

KILL THE MYTHS ■ - ■ ’"’l , Atomic Weapons Will Not Destroy the Earth ATOMIC BOMBS hoW more death and destruction than man ever before has wrapped up in i single package, but their over-all power Still hab very definite hmiiti. Not even hydrogen bombs will blow the earth apart or kill us all by radioactivity. |b Doubling Bomb Power Does Not Double Destruction \ Modern A-bombs care cause heavy damage 2 miles away, but doubling their power would extend that range onl£ to 2'j miles. To stretch the damage range from 2, to.< miles would require a weapon more than 8 TIMES the rated poxver of present models. ' Radioactivity is Not the Bomb’s Greatest Threat \ In most atom raids, blast, and heat are by far the greatest dangers that .people must face.
