CD Course Charles Crowder, director, Yancey County Civil Defense Agency, announced that the County Agency, in conjunc - tion with the State Civil De fense Agency will sponsor a Shelter Management Course beginning 7:00 p.m. Saturday, May 22, and ending at noon Sunday. The course will be conducted in the comity court house in Burnsville and admin istered by the Asheville- Bun combe Technical Institute. There are 350 public fallout shelters within a hundred mile radius of Asheville, according to Colonel James W. Weathers, Jr., area F coordinator for the State Civil Defense Ageruy. These same shelters could be used in the event of a natural disaster. Development of a local fall out shelter system and its effec tive use in time of emergency —because of its lifesaving po tential in a nuclear accident or attack —is the heart of the Civil Defense progranv The key to a satisfactory shelter operation is a tr a in ed shelter manager, V/eathers no ted, and recommended that each public shelter be assigned three shelter monitors. Many previously trained managers need retraining at this time. The public is invited to vol unteer their services in the seventeen-hour shelter manage ment course which includes a realistic overnight shelter stay to qualify for such a job and assignment to a particular shel ter near their homes or offices. Rescue squads in Forest City, Brevard, and Franklin; college students in Jackson County; young boys and girls in Sylva; and civic leaders throughout North Carolina ha\e recently participated in this worthwhile Civil Defense Training Program and found it was very beneficial. This course is open to any interested group or individ u a 1 in western North Carolina. Per sons attending should wear old clothes and bring blankets or sleeping bags for the shelter stay portions of the train ing. Actual Civil Defense Survival Rations will be provided by the agency.
