FALL-OUT SHELTERS
The fall-out shelter fantasy is sweep- s
ing across the country like a hurricane, |
engulfing government officials, common j
people, and even churchmen. One thing
is certain. It is taking place without I
adequate guidance from government and I
without explicit knowledge of the con- I
ernment steps in soon with real leader-
ship, we 1
scandal America has
endured.
I am opposed to the shelter program
on principle because: (1) I am uncon-
vinced that any shelters so far designed
are likely to be of real effect, and thus
they will give a false sense of security;
(2) they will put us in a defensive mood
when we should be out campaigning
across the world for solutions to the
problems which cause war; (3) the re-
sources used for shelters may prove to
be the very ones which, if applied to
world development, would have turned
the tide and forestalled a nuclear war;
(4) because the shelter program puts our
fears into the saddle instead of our faith.
But if our governmental leaders are
going to urge the building of shelters,
they at least owe us a clear indication
of exactly what we face, and what we
will need. How are these shelters to get
uncontaminated air for 2 to 4 weeks,
without electric power? How are they
to get uncontaminated water, and how
will their occupants find the water sup-
care for
or be-
hysterical? What kind of tools, Worth well the price of agony; I detect
More good than evil in humanity;
Love lights more fires than hate extin-
guishes,
And men grow better
grows old.”

Than darkness in the world; mine eyes

To catch the first dim radiance of the

But slow to note the cloud that threatens

plies upon emerging from the shelters? The fragrance and the beauty of the rose
How much food is actually required
per person for 2 to 4 weeks, and what
are the chances of uncontaminated food
being found after that time? What kind
of diet is appropriate for people cramped
in enforced idleness? What kind of in-
struments can advise shelter occupants
when it is safe to emerge? What kind of
drugs should be stocked to
those who develop claustrophobia
come
seeds, weapons, or other implements
will be useful in the wierd world of the
dead and desperate that will be left
when at last the bombs have stopped
exploding? Until questions like these
have been answered, most of the money
going into shelters must be considered
to be wasted.

“Even a child who seems quite ade-
quately secure in the love and respect
of his parents, early discovers the limita-
tions of human care and understanding.
“With the raising of his first philoso-
phical questions about the why and the
hows and who-was-the-first-man, the
Delight me so, slight thought I give the child is venturing out to build a philoso-
thorn.
And the sweet music of the lark’s clear
song
Stays with me 1
hawk’s cry.
And even in this dull throb of pain
called life
I find a rapture linked with each despair go°od and the evil? both the dependability
of the universe and its hazards.
“He needs a friend who is not only
unafraid to look upon the unknown, but
who admits his uncertainties. The child
needs an adult who is not only intellec-
tually brave, but who is also warm in
his love of life.”
