DEFENSE ROLE
if-
The civil defense role ol the farm
er and his family is described in a
new leaflet being distributed by the
Federal Civil Defense -Administration.
The publication "RFD Rural
Family Defense" is being dis
tributed throughout the nation to
point up the importance of rural
residents in' forging national pre
paredness. A five-point rural civil defense
program is outlined in the pamph
let: 1. Take Care of Your Family and
Yourself "A mass enemy; attack
on America will disrupt much of the
transportation, communications, bus
iness and conveniences on "whieh
rural families depend. -; Yon and
your neighbors will need tol.1iy Off
he land'." There are two very real
and direct dangers to rural areas.
The first is fallout A potato eel-
Jar, a cyclone cellar or any storage'
cellar covered by earth is a good
shelter (from radioactive fallout).
The second danger is chemical and
germ weapons. "You should know
something of the ' effect . of ; , such
weapons the symptoms of the
diseases 'or sickness .they can cause
'.n plants and animals. You, should
know what preliminary steps can
be taken to counteract the effects of
typical germ and chemical weap
ons." ' ;?::

cessful attack on all U. S. critical
