Martin Ericson, public health engineer, says the perfume alco hol which killed the fish has wash ed downstream. But tons of dead fish were left in the wake of the deadly chemical which spilled from an 8,000-gallon tanker in last Wedsesday’s train wreck. It will be several days, too, un til the river is okayed as a source of drinking water. Cramerton is using water taken from Duhart Creek. That was its source of raw water until two years ago when its filter plant was built on the South Fork of the Catawba. Lowell is over its scare, too, and is connected to the Gastonia water lines. Residents of Cramerton and Lo well have been told to drink their own water again. The week-end rains helped car ry the alcohol down river from Lowell and Cramerton. Volunteers, in boats helped clear the river of fish. Ericson says. however, that nothing was left alive in the riv er for 10 or 15 miles—not a snake, toad, fish, or worm. The tank car wrecked last Wed nesday and the alcohol ran into Gastonia’# storm sewers, found itself way into Long Creek, and drained into the river. O. B. Bell, Gastonia man, filed a claim against Southern Rail way System after discovering two heifers dead in his back yard. He said they drank out of a branch which became polluted from the alcohol draining nearby.

SOLDIER’S ADDRESS Pvt. 2 John F. Chapman, RA 14555676 H * S Co. 20th. Engr. Bn (C) Ft. Bragg, N. C.

Hallman of Henry Six Steps To Survival Outlined by Defense Family Self-Protection Leaflet* Are Being Distributed In North Carolina. RALEIGH, July 27.—If an en emy attacked today, would you know what to do? General Edward F. Griffin, State Civil Defense Director, dis closed today that thousands of co pies of a leaflet called “Six Steps To Survival’’ are available through Civil Defense channels, to citi zens in all sections of the state. “The leaflet is simple and in formative”, General Griffin said, “supplying the basic answers to the problems of family self-pro tection in the Hydrogen Age. All local Civil Defense directors have been advised that the deaflets are available an da great many have already been shipped.” Following, in condensed form are some of the survival instruc tions contained in the leaflet: Prepare your Samily for Emer gence*: The family is the main spring of civil defense. Get your family to work as a team in pre paring for emergencies - whether from enemy attack or local disas ter. Take the Red Cross First Aid and Home Nursing Courses. Keep a first-aid kit handy and yvell stocked. Lay in enough emergency food and watee to sustain your family for a week. Keep this sup ply in your home shelter, and ro tate or replace regularly to keep fresh. A flashlight, a battery-op erated radio, a can opener, first aid supplies, and emergency cook ing and sanitation facilities should be kept there, too. Learn the Civil Defense Public Action Signals: Memorize your lo cal signals so that you will know what to do instinctively. The Alert Signal, which means attack is probable, is a steady blast of three to five minutes’ duration. When vou hear this, trune in on Conclrad (64. or 124ft). Follow civil defense directions promptly. The alert signal will mean evacu ation or mobilization of civil de fense forces, depending on your location. The Take Cover Signal is a wailing tone, or a series of short blasts, of three minutes’ du ration. When you hear this, it in dicated that attack is imminent and you must take the best avail able shelter. Know the Conelrad st»tion»: At the first indication of enemy bombers approaching the United States, all television and FM radio stations will go off the air. All standard /AIM) stations will like wise go silent. The Conelrad sta tions, 640 or 1240, are your sur est and fastest means of getting emergency civil defense informa tion and instructions. Mark those numbers on your radio set - now! Follow these Evacuation Prin ciples: The best protection against atomic or hydrogen bombs is don’t he there! In major cities, where there is sufficient warsing time, this means pre-attack evacu ation. Instructions will be broad cast over your Conelrad frequen cy following the Alert Signal. You will be told what evacuation route to take. Take enough suitable clothing and emergency food sup plies with you. BUILD A HOME SHELTER: Here are three reasons why ev eryone should have a home shel ter: 1. In a sneak attack, or where there is insufficient warning for evacuation, any shelter is better than no shelter. 2. If you live far enough out side a target area to be relatively safe from blast and fire, there is jected to radioactive fall-out from the bomb cloud. Even homes 150 miles'or more downwind from major cities may lie in the possi ble fallout zone. 3. Home shelters are also good safety insurance against tornadoes and other types of natural disas ters. Tl\e best protection against ra dioactive fallout is an outdoor shelter covered by at least three feet of earth, and with a suitable device to filter out the dust. If you think you have some of the radioactive dust on you, take vno chances - remove your outer cloth ing and bathe exposed parts 1m I mediate],y using strong soap if possible. still a chance you Ground Observers On Duty Sunday Ground Observers throughout the two Carolinas will be on duty Sunday, August 7th, from 9 A. M., till 9 P. M., to participate in a test exercise designated as “Sky train VI”, “Skytrain VF’ is one of the monthly exercises conducted by Eastern Air Defense force. The monthly exercise involves all States on the Eastern Coast from Maine to Florida. The purpose of the exercise is to increase the operational effi ciency of the ground observer corps. During the exercise, air craft will fly low level simulated missions. These missions are de signed to test the effectiveness of the civilian ground observers in reporting unidentified air craft. The aircraft which will be par ticipating in the exercise on the 9th of August are commercial, military and civilian cap planes. Reports .from observation posts will be forward to the Charlotte Filter Center, who will in turn notify higher air fore eheadquar ters. In the event an unidenti fied aircraft is reported, Jet m Interceptors will be “scrambled” to identify the aircraft. The monthly exercises are de signed to increase interest in the ground obscerver corps. The ground observer corps is danger ously undermanned at this time. A renewed recruitng drive is go ing on in order to obtain the re quired number of civilian volun teers. Anyone who is interested in guarding our Nation from a possible energy attack and aiding our own aircraft in event of emer gency should contact the local Civ il Defense Director, or write to the Commander of the Charlotte Filter Center, 101 North Graham Street, Charlotte, N.
