Extra Vacation We received an extra vaca tion this week due to the snow and ice. It is nice to have these “snow vacations” if we have the snow, but when an other part of the county has the snow and we don’t, it seems like wasted time. Most of the kids we have talked to seem to have enjoyed the snow, though. For many of the seniors, those who are college bound, this may be the last time they will see moun tain snow for a good while. 1 don't know whether it is good or not, but the snow and ice have given this year’s graduating class one of the longest senior years ever. Be fore this vacation, getting-out time was around June 3. Add a day in June for every (lay out now and see when the summer vacation starts.

In the Introduction to “The Family Fallout Shelter," a pub lication of the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization, Mr. Hoegh says: “In an atomic war, blast, heat and initial radiation could kill millions close to ground zero of nuclear bursts.
