DISCUSS SHELTERS—State Civil County Director of Public Welfare Defense Director Fred C. Craft and acting Civil Defense Director, at checks out a Laurens County map meeting last week, with Mrs. Alice R. Davidson, Laurens Public Shelter Program Discussed For County Business, industrial and civic leaders of Laurens County have endorsed 3 program to locate and allocate public shelters against radioactive fallout for every re sident of the County. Buildings pinpointed by the local volunteers who are fami liar with the larger, sturdily con structed structures in the Coun ty, will be carefully screened and studied by planners and engineers from the State Office to determine which are best suitable for use as fallout shelters, according to Craft. Mrs. Alice R. Davidson, Lau rens County Director of (Public Welfare and acting Civil Defense Director, presided at Tuesday’s briefing which was a featureof the regular luncheon meeting of the Laurens County Community Council in the Laurens Federal Savings and Loan Building. About 90 council members and guests heard the presentation. State Director Craft pointed out that the project of finding best available fallout shelters in the County is part of a federally fi nanced program being carried on throughout the State. Some 30 other Counties now are partici pating. The project, known as Operation Can-Do, seeks to fill a shelter deficit which in Lau rens represents the difference between 29,201 spaces already lo cated and a 1970 estimated popu lation of about 54,500. The project also allocates each citizen to a specific shelter which could be reached within one- hour’s time after sounding of the warning. It would be carried out without cost to local citizens, ex cept for the time donated by the volunteers. The program includes publica tion of a fallout shelter informa tion package, a copy of which will be issued to every householder in Laurens County. The package contains a map of the County showing location of each com munity fallout shelterwith routes to shelter marked with red arrows. Also included are life saving suggestions for each citi zen to follow should a warning ever be given that deadly radio active fallout is approaching the area. The type buildings to be mapped as shelter will be those which offer maximum protection avail able in case of nuclear attack. Included will be structures al ready located bv the federal government. These offer pro tection deemed sufficient for marking and stocking with food and medical supplies. Also in cluded on the map will be some ter deficit. These buUdings, \\hile buildings selected to fill the sbel- they do not meet the federal standards for stocking, do offer the best interim protection now available. In all cases, they of fer better protection than is a- vallable in the average home. Craft also urged Laurens offi cials to appoint a full-time Coun ty Civil Defense Director as a means of providing an on-going program of emergency service in the County. While the present Volunteer Director, Mrs. David son, has filled a vital need in the interim, Craft emphasized that administration and constant updating of the community shel ter program alone can be effec tively accomplished only by a full-time officer. Counties in the Pee Dee, such as Chesterfield and Marlboro, which were recently hard-hit with power shortages as a result of a severe ice storm could have re ceived emergency relief far sooner, Craft commented, if they had had a full-time Civil De fense program operating in the County. He added that the federal gov ernment provides matching funds to the County to help pay the sala ry of a full-time Director. Such funds also are available for pur chase of communications sets for emergency use. Other benefits to the County include the opportunity to participate in the government al surplus equipment program. In 1968 about 200,000 steel en trance doors were sold. Steel doors can now be made to any pattern and finish available in wooden doors. NEW!
