There is not a home in America that could not be affected by fallout after a nuclear attack. Shelter from fallout is the greatest single protection for you and your family. The Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization published last year "The Family Fallout Shelter" booklet MP 15. That pub - lication contains plans for five basic fallout shelters. The Structural Clay Products Institute of Washington, D. C., has prepared the booklet "Clay Masonry Family Fallout Shel- ters" in order to provide the public with five additional plans for basic fallout shelters which can be built in or near your home. OCDM technical officers have reviewed and found that it meets OCDM standards for effective shelter. Each of these shelters provides protection from fallout radia- tion of a nuclear bomb. They also can protect your family against natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes. This booklet demonstrates again that there are means of pro- tection against fallout —if you do something about it before disaster strikes. LEO A.
