The Meadow Fork group, con si.'ting of approximately thirty five families, have been working together for about a year aiding each other and especially the low er income people in their commu nity who need help. Seeing the need for a commu nity and 4-H project meeting place and sewing room, the group has begun a project to make this become a reality. With the use of a building (formerly known as the old W. T. Moore store) do nated to the community by Lee McGaha, the community plans to outfit a sewing room with sew ing machines as well as a multi purpose community center. The Meadow Fork group has applied to the Madison-Buncombe Rural Development Council for financial aid for this project through the Council's Incentive Grant program. If Council's aid is received, the Meadow Fork Group will be responsible for car rying out the project. The appli cation was submitted at the Feb ruary 20 meeting of the Council's board of directors. The Opportunity Corporation community workers, Mamie Gardi ner an Lloyd Fish have been as sisting the community in this project. J Carrie Cc!.:i, C2, Native Of Ccr!y, !

Its heart is a fallout shelter system which could save the lives of millions of persons that would otherwise be lost be cause of radioactive fallout. The civil defense system also includes warning and commu nications networks, local gov ernments organized for emer gency operations, and many other resources. If an attack should come, many lives could be saved through a combina tion of emergency actions taken by governments and pri vate citizens. The chances of surviving and recovering from a nuclear at tack are much better if citi lens: 1. Understand the dangers of an attack. 2. Learn , the actions that should be taken in the event of an attack. 3. Are prepared to take whatever action is necessary at the time of an attack. If an Attack Comes . . . All nuclear explosions cause light, heat and blast. In addi tion, explosions on or close to the ground would create large quantities of dangerous radio active fallout particles, most of which would fall to earth dur ing the first 24 hours. If the U.S. should be at tacked, the people who hap pened to be close to a nuclear explosion probably would be killed or seriously injured by the blast, or by the heat of the e plosion. People a few miles away In the "fringe area" of the ex plosion would be endangered by the blast and heat, and by fires that the explosion might start. However, it is likely that most of the people in the fringe area - would survive these hazards. - People outside , the fringe area would not be endangered by the blast, heat or fire. De ' partment of Defense studies show that in any nuclear at - tack, tens of millions of Ameri , cans would be outside the ' damage areas. To them, and to r. people in the fringe areas who -survived the blast, beat and fire, radioactive fallout would be the main danger. Protective : measures against this hazard i j can be taken. , ; . -- , j ' ' ( What Is FaBontr f ; ' When a nuclear weapon ex plodes near the ground, great quantities of pulverized earth and oy"T dobris are sucked up into t.. nuclear cloud where many of t..e particles become radioactive. As these particles fall back to earth, and after they reach the ground, they give off invisible gamma rays like X-rays which can kill or injure. Tnese particles give off most of their radiation quickly, so the first few hours or days after an attack would be the most dangerous period. In dangerously affected areas the fallout particles would look like grains of grit or sand However, the raye they would give off could not be seen, tasted, amelled or felt Special instruments would be required to detect the rays and measure their intensity. The Federal Government has distributed several million of these instru ments to State and local gov ernments. Fallout Would Be Widespread The distribution of fallout particles after a nuclear at tack would depend on what part of the co-jitry had been attacked, and the number of weapons used, as well as wind currents, weather conditions and other factors. However, there is no way of predicting in advance what areas ol tne country would be affected, or how soon the particles would fall back to earth at a particu lar location. Some communities might get a heavy accumulation of fall out while., others might get little or none. No area in the U.S. could be mre of not get ting fallout, and it is probable that some particles would be deposited on most othe coun try. Areas close to a nuclear ex plosion might receive fallout within 15 to an minutes, un tne other hand, it might take 5 to 10 houii or more for the parti cles to drift dowa on a com munity 100 or 200 miles away. Generally, the first 24 hours after fallout began to settle would be the most dangerous period to a community's resi dents. The heavier particles falling durwg that time would still b highly radioactive and give off strong ra t lighter particles falling later would have lost much of their radia tion Ugh ia the atmosphere. ' rsHoBt Oases Radiation ; J" . j , ; i. Sickness w.4 The Invisible gamma rays given off by fallout particles can produce radiation sickness, which is caused by, physical and chemical charges in the cells of the body. If person receives a large doe of fallout radiation, he will die. But if he receives only a tm&'l or me dium dose, his body will repair itself and he will get well. The same dose recf-ivel over a short period of Vivo is more damaging than over a longer period. Usually, the effects of a given dose of radiation are more severe in very young and very old persons, and those not in good health. No special clothing can pro tect people against gamma radiation, and no special drugs or chemicals can prevent large doses of radiation from caus ing damage to the cells of the body. However, antibiotics and other medicines are helpful in treating infections that some times follow excessive expo sure to radiation. Almost all of the radiation that people would absorb from fallout particles would come from particles outsid their own bodies. Only simple pre cautions would be necessary to avoid swallowing the particles, and it would be practically im possible to inhale them. People exposed to fallout radiation do not become radio active and thereby dangerous to other people. Radiation sick ness is not contagious or in fectious, and one person can not "catch it" from another person. Protection Is Possible People can protect them selves against fallout radia tion, and have a good chance of surviving, by staying inside a fallout shelter. In most cases, the fallout radiation level out side the shelter would decrease rapidly enough to permit peo ple to leave the shelter within a few days. Even in communities that re ceived relatively heavy accu mulations of fallout particles, people soon might be able to leave shelter for a few minutes or a few hours at a time to per form emergency tasks. In most places, it ia unlikely that full time shelter occupancy would be required for more than a week or two. Strawberry plants ordered by Maaison, .farmers will be shipped to the county in late March or earlv Atxrll. Land preparation end fertilization ' should be done before' the plants arrive. Use one hundred pounds of 10-10-10 fer tilizer on each one-tenth acre oi strawberries you plan to set two weeks prior to transplanting. Farmers in Madison County should be growing tobacco on ev ery available tenth of hurley al lotment. This is not being done. Each year, approximately 100 acres of allotment fails to be grown. We are losing roughly $200,000 of tobacco income by this practice. One solution would be to lease and combine farms. More and more farmers have been doing this. If you desire to grow addi tional tobacco in this wey, you take the following steps: (1) Find a farmer in the county who is not having his allotment grown. (2) Draw up between you a written lease on his fairm. (3) Go before the county ASOS Com mittee and get their approval on combining the two farms. (4) After the farms are combined, the total allotment may be grown at any location on the combined farms. You must do some type of farming on the leased farm. We in the Extension Office will try to put you in touch with another interested party if you will let us know about youir situ ation. 3fc 3fr Sp COOKWARE Today's pots and pans and bak ing dishes are so pretty that it is easy to be enchanted by their looks and forget to pay attention to practicality. There are certain virtues all cook ware should have, however, if it is to serve as well and these apply whether the cookware is aluminum, steel, e- tamel, glass, or whatever: , i Bottoms snouM be flat so the pots will sit firmly and heat evenly. Sides should be seamless, straight, and smooth; corners and c For Delicious Meals Short Orders Sandwiches SELECT OYSTERS Quick - Friandly Courteous Service GRACE RESTAURANT 853 Merrimoa Ave. (At Grace) ASHEVILLE, N. C edges rounded for easy cleaning. .Lids' should fit tightly. ' i Handles should . be heatproof and not turn in the hand. , Pans should store ' easily. When buying cookware, it is a good idea to be familiar with the properties of each material. There is no one best cookware material for each cooking job; all have their good points and their draw backs. It 1b very important to read the labels and instructions that come with any cookware. One thing for sure: keep in mind the difference between ovenproof and flameproof. Ovenproof means you can use a utensil in the oven but not directly over the flame on the burner. Flameproof uten sils are safe in the oven or on the burner. With Our Boys In Service (D0242) San Diego (FHTNC) Seaman Apprentice Ted G. Roberts, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. George G. Roberts of Route 1, Mars Hill, visited Acapulco while serving aboard the heavy cruiser USS Saint Paul, flagship for Commander First Fleet During the ship's five-day stay in the Mexican port and vacation resort, crew members enjoyed sightseeing and the many avail able sports such as deep sea fish ing, skin-diving, water skiing, even parachute ridding behind a power boat. Some observed two of Acapul- co's most famous tourist attrac tions: the high diving of La Que brado who plunged from a 135 foot cliff into the sea, and the Flying Indians of Papantla who dance upon a tiny platform high above the crowd before plunging toward the ground at the end of long ropes. Saint Paul's stop at Acapulco was a welcome break in the ship's) preparations for its, scheduled, em ployment to Vietnam this spring.
