HOSPITAL HOLDS OPEN HOUSE Stevenson Memorial Hospi tal held its first open house in six years at Allirlcn untlyl Among the visitors were Mrs Thompson NEWS OF By RUSS DAVEY Executive Director Our second annual gymn dis play has come and gone lnILs passing it left many memorable moments and saw many indiv idunls come forward with the kind of leadership that we feel is typical result of pro grams The details of program are too numerous to set dowu but several high points are sure to be of common interest Along with all the anxiety embodied in last Saturday mornings final preparations because we were drawing together display groups from all over the city for mass activities without the advantage of single runthrough with ev eryone together there was an uplifting sense of expectancy and power The expectancy was in the feeling that everyone would come through with good ef fort and saw great power in the efforts of the 30leaders and 14 other adults hustling like everything with singieness of purpose that would move moun tains SEVERAL STAND OUT So for as the display goes there are several things that stand out Our Hillsdale exten sion had catchy display cent red around little sapling which someone must have spent ban on because all the bark had been removed The number and variety of the crafts spoke well for the few months work since they organized was frankly pleased to see the mass calisthenics come off so well and the enthusiastic recognition of the leaders by the kids spoke well for the high morale in each of the centres RESOURCEFUL The senior girls from Codrin ion skipped outto put on squaresdancing The record kept jumping and things looked sad But talk about re sourcefulnessi The girls sang and danced their way into the admiration of the packed and fence and displayed the kind of response to unexpected challen ges that will carry them well through all of life LEAVlNG BARBIE As Chuck Pierson put his tum bling group through their paces he was completing three years of dedicated service to the group and to the Chuck will be leaving for London in August something unforseen and Chucks leadership will be sorely miss changes things ed Frank Cieare who has

explosions Nuclear weapons effects is controversial subject and many versions by many experts have been published lending to great deal of confusion We do not pretend to be experts but will outline briefly what oc curs Although it is not our inten tion to be technical perhaps few explanations are in order it is history that the first atom bombs were exploded over Japan in 1045 These weapons were said to be 20 kilolon This term is measurement and means simply that the first atom bombs had the same ex plosive power roughly as 20000 tons of TNT This is tremend ous amount of force To illus trate in 1011 an ammunition ship containing only 2000 tons of TNT exploded in Halifax har bor and it destroyed half th city of Halifax in 1049 the first hydrogen de vise was exploded and we are told that was live mcgaton or that its explosive force was run or scans COPY MW booklet Eleven Steps to Survival may be obtained by anyone by writing to Simcoe Barrie Emergency Measures organi glédr Bidets Is

explosion does there two Type of damage but it ie also hource of nuclear radio on The extent and lypepf dam Ige from nuclear explosion is dependent upon several facials One factor is the size ofthe weapon and whether it is are ploded in the air on the surface of ground or water or beneath the surface Eachtype of burst is designed to doa specific type of damage For instance sub surface nuclearexplosion in harbor could seriously damage harbor installations beneath the surface An air burst would spread blast and fire destruc tion over many miles depend salionCounly Building 351 ing upon whether the area was no roughly equal to 5000000 ions of TNT The explosive power is called the yieldt We are not told the sizes the weapons being produced by the worlds nuclear powers but it Is possible to make weapons of any size smaller and larger than the two referred to How ever the larger the weapon the greater the expense so for prac tical purposes they are not lik ely to be larger than 20 mega tnn it must be understood that bomb twice as large does not the dam age therefore it is felt that many weapons of smaller yield necessarily do twice OBITUARIES WILLIAM wonp William Ward

and taken up into the fire 01 ball The finer particles are carried by the winds and when they settle to earth this is called radioactive fallout This radio active failout could be deposit ed over vast area as far as two or three hu dr miles downwind depending upon the size of the weapon and wind dir ection Winds may blow in surface of the earth and 100000 feel it is estimated the top of the cloud from five mcgaton bomb could be 100000 feet upl We should bear in mind that number of things influence tho type and amount of damage from nuclear bomb burst However let us consider the possible extent of damage from five mcgaton bomb burst near the ground of nave or pesrnucrrou Immediately under the burst for ground scro there would be saucershaped hole about one and onehalf miles across and quarter mile deep surrounded by ring of debris rough circle approximately six miles across would be totally devast ated and all living things des troyed Surrounding this and extending in all dire ctions in roughly another three miles would he ring where buildings would be beyond repair Casualties would decrease the further away the area was from the explosin circle roughly another miles larger in would have buildings which could be repaired but not use4 able until repaired and beyond this again buildings would be useabie after minor repairs Glass damage might extend as manydirections between the die month meeting Wednesday OVEDIM However much of the bulioefliobedcaitwithdldmt get an airing and was put over until the first wet day which would stop seeding operations Park Superintendent Creche dea got hearing and detailed numerous matters that needed the approval of council One of these included the fact that if the men employed would buy their own pants the council wouldallow for the cost of shirts and cap it was made definite that pants would be requirement The wearing of unlforrn shirts andcaps during the picnic days and weekends was expect Another matter discussed was the permission given on unem ployed citizen to collect dew warm at night on the park Ten ders for the toilet building to be erected in the parkwsslcft in nbeyance The engineer was un able to attend and it was felt his opinion was needed in cer tain molten ROAD MATHIRS Roads Chairman Cochrane was anxious to have the details of the supplementary byiirw re questing theadditional funds in tended to be spent on road con far as twentyfive miles from ground zero if we imagine this explosion over the centre of Simcoe Coun ty we con vlzuoiize the vast ex tent of damage from five megaton weapon Radioactivity fallout from this near surface burst could extend two or three hundred miles downwind This fallout pattern is governed by wind vagaries which can alter the direction of fallout at any level SAFE IN TWO DAYS Radidtion is measured in ro entgen and radioactive fallout from five mcgaton bomb could measure several thousand rocnt gens per hour in areas of high est concentration However we must bear inmind that radio active fallout has very rapid rate of initial decay This is an other controversial and techni cal subject but expressed sim ply lt means that in areas not heavily contaminated it would be safe to leave fallout shelters in perhaps two days Informa tion on this subject would be broadcast continually Details on the subject of nu clear explosions and the effects form part of courses which we propose to conduct in Simcoe County commencing in the fall months Further information on pro faction factorswlll be contained the next article in this
