Civi Defense PtarmHig Key To Survival
By MURRAY D. ASHLEY
Oliowan-Kdrnton Civil DtfPMd Director
C_J :
Word was received this past
■week from Civil Defense Head
quarters in Raleigh, N1 C., that
we could expect an architect en
gineer team to be in Chowan'
County in the near future to
start the Fallout Shelter survey.
This is part of The National
Shelter Survey Program that
was put in action to carry out
the instructions of President |
Kennedy to Secretary McNamara
to identify, evaluate, mark and
stock existing shelter spaces. I
This survey will use recently 1
developed techniques to conduct j
the nationwide inventory ofj
existing shelter spaces. The in-.-
ventory will cover the entire j
geographic area of the United |
States including its possessions.
This shelter survey will not only
obtain results regarding the
shelter space available, but will
ai-u give us vital information
needed to carry out a positive,
Weil planned Civil Defense Pro
gram. Many times in the past
I have heard the comment that
Civil Defense should be the re
sponsibility of the Federal Gov
ernment. Let me, again, repeat,
“There can be no effective Civil
Defense Program in Chowan
County without the full coop
eration of each and every citi
zen. While the Federal Gov
ernment will survey these shel
ter spaces and furnish the ne
cessary food, water and radia
tion detection materials to stock
the shelters, it’s still the respon
sibility of your local director to
mark these spaces, stock them
with necessary supplies and pro
vide shelter commandants and
Radiation Detection Personnel.

Land Considered
For Bombing Range
Continued from Page 1, Section 1
undergrowth, estimated at about
30 tons per acre, provides fuel
for forest fires.
To combat the fire menace, j
which constantly threatened ad
joining lands, and to aid in the
management of the area as a
tree farm, several hundred
miles of roads and drainage ca
nals have been constructed by
the paper company.
Establishment of a bombing
rahge in this highly inflammable
area undoubtedly would result
in huge forest fires which could
destroy much of the timber in
the county. The organic soil
existing in the area burns to a
depth of several feet in dfy
weather. These peat fires have
been known to burn for weeks
and are impossible to extinguish
except by inundation. Fire bar
riers, which are used to contain
most forest conflagrations, are
useless in this area since sparks
carry for several miles under
certain weather conditions.
The paper company’s evalua
tion of the fire situation is based
partially on experience gained a
few years back when a similar
bombing range was established
on lands in South Carolina. Fire ■
from bombing and flares used
in night-time operations caused
numerous fires, not only on the
target site, but also on lands
miles away from the target
area—and this on land not near
ly as inflammable as those in
North Carolina.
In the opinion of forest ex
perts, fire hazards of these pro
portions would make it impos
sible to operate the land as a
tree farm and probably would ’
eliminate the present forest de-[
velopment program, allowing the
land to revert to sub-marginal
quality. This, in turn, would
cause a loss in tax revenue and
a loss in much-needed jobs. The
company is spending nearly a'
quarter of a million dollars an
nually to manage and improve
the Tyrrell County properties.
Logging activity on the Tyr
rell County lands now is at a
high level and is expected to in
crease, provided the land can be
managed for timber production
and protected from fire. Pro
posals to build bombing ranges
in the territory indicate a lack
of knowledge of ground condi
tions and a disregard for the
possibility of devastating tim
berlands of an entire county.
Claridge, North Carolina
State Forester, has stated that if
a bombing range is established
in Ityrrel! County, the state
nfight have to" give;, up fire pro
tection efforts in this section.
Local Students On
EC€ Honor Lists
Three lists at students at East
Carolina Collage who have re
ceived official recognition from
tha college because of their ex
cellent records in academic work

future you will be asked to vol

Civil Defense Roster. You owe
it to yourself and your com
| munity to give us your time and
support. We can build an ef
fective Civil Defense force in
I Chowan County if we try and
1 since the need for Civil Defense
j is likely to be with us for a long
J time, we must not be swayed by
■ the on and off cold war. We
| can’t build an effective force
j just When it’s needed, we ha/ ■
to plan now. We are still in
