Lewis said the first step was a warning system, County CD official, Charles Weeks said the county now has a system that is workable for warning. The next most important task, Lewis said, is the establishment of a shelter system. In some areas schools are constructing shelters, or adapting current construction planstoincludea multipurpose use which can double as. shelter area. In other areas the children are expected to leave the school for other shelter, either at home or inacommunity center. Lewis labeled Beale AFB as a prime target, and said it is possible this area could get fall-out at near maximum count. ‘He said protectioninside a frame house but that it would still bea lethal dose in all probability. A basement shelter would reduce radiation to one-tenth of the outside total, but in the event of a heavy radiation fall-out would also be lethal within a few hours unless special precautions were taken inthe preparation of the basement. The first seven hours of radiationarethe most dangerous, Lewis stated. During those seven hours radiation in the atmosphere reduced to one-tenth its original potency. It reduces to one-hundredth original potency within 55 hours of fall-out. After two weeks, even heavy radiation fall-out has dissipated to a safe level.’ George Sawyer Speaks In GV GRASS VALLEY---George Sawyer, district manager of the Sacramento Valley Chamber of Commerce, will be the guest speaker ata Grass Valley Chamber of Commerce meeting tomorrow noon at The Office, Golden Hotel. reduced the radiation by half, .
