Fall-Out Shelter
With Other Uses is
Unveiled Wednesday
Civil Defense officials from na
tional, area and state headquarters
gathered in Kinston Wednesday
morning for the unveiling of a
“Family iFallodt Shelter”, which is
described as the first multipur
pose fall out shelter in the nation.
The shelter, which has been
named “The Peace Shelter”, is de
signed to permit daylight inside
while still offering the 100-to-l ra
tio of protection from radiation
that is a basic requisite of all such
protective shelters;. Its design has
been approved by the Office of)
Civil Defense.
The 16-by-16 foot shelter has a
heavily reinforced roof, its walls
are of lft-inch solid masonry that
is cured under 40 pounds per
■square inch pressure.
The windows are built tank style
and give a 30-inch thick wall of
water protection, making possible
the use of daylight which has not
previously been incorporated in fall
olit shelter design.
Radiologist Dr. Simmons Patrick
tested the building late Tuesday for
its radioactivity resistance and
found that the 16-inch wall gave
roughly the same protection as a
3-inch wall of solid lead, and that

Best Nematode Control

With so much bard' work left to
do on the 1960 Tobacco Crop it may
seem mighty early to be Bunlting
about the 1961, 1962, or 1963 crop.
However the success of those crops
can be largely determined by prac
tices carried out as soon as the
1960 crop is harvested.
As soon as harvest is complete
two thing should be done im
mediately. First tobacco roots
should be examined to determine
the number of nematodes present
in the field. Secondly the foots
should be plowed out and exposed
to the sun.
The root examination should be
made in a systematic manner
similar to taking a soil sample.
Roots from all areas in the field
should be checked to get a true pic
ture.
A good system for determining
nematodes infestation through root
examinaiton has been devised by
F. A. Tood, Extension Tobacco
Disease Specialist of State Col
lege. Farmers interested in this
system can get a copy from their
County Agents Office.
This system at the present is
the best means by which a farmer
can determine whether it will pay
him to fumigate when tobaeCo is
next grown in the field. It is hoped
that some day the need for soil
fumigation can be determined by a
soil sample but" as yet suich a ser
vice is not available.
Turning the roots up to the sun
ican greatly cut down on the nema
