Alderman Frank Fredrick-

meeting to debate whether or
not to recommend to the Van-
couver public the construction
of such shelters, ‘“Tfie whole

an interview. ‘It’s a hoax on
innocent people to give them
slight hope that they might
survive if anything happened.”

Harry Rankin, runner-up for

interview with the Pacific
Tribune stated: “With the evi-
dence available at the present
time of the destructive power |
of the hydrogen bomb, surely !

it is folly to delude people in-
to thinking that shelters, drili
and other devices can
them. Certainly it is criminal
to upset children by going
through such meaningless and
hair raising routines as crawl-
ing under desks.

The answer being given by

all thinking people lies in dis- |

armament and solemn treaties
imposed on all countries to do
away with atomic and hydro-
gen weapons.”
