WOTTON IN SHELTER READS "11 STEPS TO SURVIVAL" EMO Chief Has Shelter In Basement Of His Home At least one Oshawa family has a room in its home it hopesj have during the first few hours will never be used. The room is a fallout shelfer. It-is-located in the basement of Lt. Col. Stephen Wotton's jmake the best use of what they |when the fallout is heaviest," he said. After the first seven hours, he said, fallout decays to _ one home, 319 Burk street. Mr. Wot-| tenth of its original strength and ton is co-ordinator of the Emer- gency Measures Organization in Ontario County. The shelter is six feet high, six and one half feet wide and 18 feet long. Materials cost $100 and Mr. Wotton said it took him about two weeks, in his spare time, to build. Walls and roof are-lined with sand-filled concrete blocks. The room is fitted. with benches, which can quickly be turned into bunk beds and a table which can be dismantled or used as a bed. Stored in the room are canned goods and preserves, two cots, a coal-oil lamp, a few cooking utensils, a first aid kit and a transistor radio. The shelter is large enough} for Mr. Wotton's immediate family--wife, son, two married daughters and their husbands, mother-in-law and four grand- children. If there was an alert, Mr. Wotton's family would take food, blankets, water and other necessities into the 'shelter. "My family would be quite safe," he said. "The shelter doesn't have to be in 100 per cent shape but'a plan of action is essential and necessary equipment shoould be near at hand." Col. Wotton said if a bomb hit Toronto, after the blast wave was felt in Oshawa, with a 20- mile-per-hour wind it would take an hour and a half before radio- active material fell on the city. "It is best for families to have a quick plan so they ean FIVE -YEAR - OLD Jerry people could leave the shelter for short periods without any jill-effects. | 'The Organization would keep| |people informed by radio and} jtell them when it was safe to |surface, said Mr. Wotton. | The Organization co-ordinator| |said he gid not know how many shelters there are in the city and he'said it is difficult to per-| suade people to prepare for a disaster.

Special Meet Is Called A special meeting of Oshawa Separate School trustees will be held Saturday at St. Joseph's School, Simcoe street north. The meeting was called last night, at the last regular meet- ing of the Board, to discuss parking problems at the school. Several possible solutions were mentioned at the meeting but no decisions were reached. Tribute was paid by re-elected trustees to retiring Board chair- man Lloyd Bolahood and to trustee Alcide Leclerc, who was defeated in the civic election. Mr. Leclerc filled a vacancy on the Board in October. Anthony Meringer, one three newcomers elected, tended last night's meeting. The Board decided to hold a caucus meeting Jan. 3, prior to the inaugural meeting. of at- Santa Visits Hillsdale Folks Santa Claus, with the help of the Kinsmen Club, brought Christmas to the residents of Hillsdale Manor this week. The General Motors Chorus sang a medley of carols, and Debbie Murrow played the ac- cordion. Santa visited every room in the Manor with gifts for bedridden patients, and then moved into the auditorium to the strains of Jingle Bells. He was assisted in handling his gifts by a dozen or so mem- bers of the Kinsmen Club. The Kinettes. provided a lunch of turkey sandwiches, Christmas cake, and tea.

Sentenced The two juveniles who went }on a window-smashing rampage last Sunday were sent to re school by Judge Frank S. Ebbs in Juvenile Court here Thurs- |day. One of the 13-year-old boys had 33 charges against him ranging from mischief, to car theft, to break, enter and theft. His partner in the Sunday epi- sode, also 13, was convicted of 25 similar offences. They were captured, the Court learned, after they used air- jrifles stolen in a break-and- jenter at Kent's Western Tire to smash about $5000 worth of win- dows in about 20 businesses, homes and cars, and a church. Two other boys were also con- vieted of two counts each of property damages extending from other incidents. One o of them was given a one-year }suspended sentence as a result of these charges, three charges of car theft, and two charges of break enter and theft. The other was remanded for one month out of custody and ordered to pay restitution. law, are for an indefinite per- iod. One boy went to Bowman- ville,-the other to St. John's in Uxbridge. M.

The Board decided to write the Sisters of St. Joseph teach- ing order in Toronto, which owns the land, and ask them to sell approximately three acres as a site for an administration building. The teaching order at present is constructing a private high school on a portion of their cor- ner property. Earlier this year, the Board asked city council to approve the sale by the Department of Transport of 10 acres of airport property for an administrative building and an_ elementary school. The request was turned down by council. EXTEND TENDERS Acting on a suggestion by Board architect William Sac- coccio, trustees agreed to ex- tend tenders on two new ele- mentary schools from Dec. 29 until Jan, 14. The Sir Albert Love Scheol on, Wilson road north and the St. Thomas Aquinas School on Pacific avenue are expected to be constructed before Sept, 1 next year. Lloyd Bolahood, Board chair- |man, said the Department of |Education has unofficially ap- |proved plans for both schools.
