Linden Hall Students
Build Fallout Shelter
PREPARED BUT SCARED
Lititz’s third fallout shelter
came into being last week —
and immediately had eight ap­plications
for residence.
The shelter, complete with
a gelger counter, teen maga-is
part of a science project by
zines, and a transistor radio,
the chemistry students at Lin­den
Hall.
With eight girls volunteer­ing
to live in the two person
shelter for 4 8 hours names
were finally drawn from a hat.
However. now that. the
lucky girls, Barbara Shewell
and iflldegard 1’ 1 « s s i n ger.
have been selected they are
beginning to wonder just why
they volunteered.
Main worries: Mice and the
Dark.
In the room, a “ remodeled"
basement cubbyhole, is every
thing that two students, or
two adults, would need to sur­vive
for two weeks.
The girls decided to do the
project after the recent Rus­sian
tests, in October, focused
their attention on the atom
and its uses.
Under the direction of ther
teacher, Miss Carol William­son,
the students set up a two­fold
project for themselves
— to discover protective de­vices
to be used in the even:
of an atomic attack, and to
explore the pfeaceful uses of
atomic energy.
Ther original intention was
to set up a shelter for the
whole school — but after sur­veying
the packs of informa­tion
sent to them by the Atom­ic
Energy Commission and .the
Lancaster County Board of
Civil Defense, they finally de­cided
on a small model shelt­er.
Now open for inspection by
the students, the room con­tains
cots, changes of clothes,
samples of the food needed,
entertainment, and all other
basic supplies.
Along with the plans for
I he shelter the girls also re­ceived
from the various or­ganizations
films and Informa­tion
which they have been re­leasing
to the student body all
this week.
During the week the girls
have been seeing films on a-tomic
testing, atomic energy
in medicine, and industrial
and home uses for atomic en­ergy.
“We hope to give the stu­dents
a better understanding
of the uses and potential pow­er
of atomic energy in t. lie
world today," Miss William­son
explained.
“ So often the only aspect of
tlie atom that is given to peo­ple
in daily life is that of the
atomic bomb and its destruc­tive
powers,” she continued,
“ We are trying to go a little
hit better by showing the girls
both aspects of tlie atomic
s ituation.’’
The students have received
a great deal of help both from
the Atomic Energy Commis­sion
and from the Lancaster
County Board of Civil De­fense.
Along with tlie films and
pamphlets received from both
groups the girls were loaned
a geiger counter by the county
civil defense organization.

“ If we do it will be as a last
ditch stand.”
Spaid explained that if the
schools closed it would mean
numerous c o m p l i t a t i o n s
throughout the school district.
Fir-fit, he stated, the schools
would either have to remain
open later this year or time
would have to be taken off
Easter vacation.
Then also a closing of tho
schools would mean closing of
the recreation facilities, the
Sunday Schools and tlie movie
theater.
“ It. would do no good for us
just to close tlie schools, and
then allow the students to
congregate in other places, if
we close the schools the pur­pose
will be to keep students
from spreading the flu.” he
explained.
With other districts holding
t.boir own, Spaid does not
think that it will be necessary
to close the schools even
though Warwick’s absentee
rate has risen in the last few
days.
“ From what, wc can see
county wide tlie 'epidemic' has
j i i;• t about run Its course.” lie
staled.
