Nice Thought, But...
Fixed that for you, Chris "It amazes me that during the Cold War Era that our authorities actually believed places like this would do anything for the welfare of some of its citizens."

Seems we have a lot to learn....
Who do we believe..... then and now.......??
The worst nuclear disaster has been the area aroudn Chernobyl....... huge areas have been closed off to human habitation...... radiation contamination to last at least 150,000 years for its half life....... yet....YET.... Recent research ahs shown that inside the closed area animal life is triving.... birds.....insects...... deer and the inevitable wolfe population is reclaiming the isolated towns and abandoned villages. Wild life is so abundant that authorities are fearful poachers will infiltrate the closed areas. Sure there are piles of abandoned vehicles that literally glow in the dark.....yet pants and animals are triving. Researchers who were allowed in the closed areas for brief visits have been able to study similar wild life populations in secure areas and found that the animals were just has health inside the contaminated areas as those living outside. Is there something we do not understand about radiation/contamination....? ..... or is someone misleading us....again???? Japan who got there bacon fried by nuclear bombs in 1945..... and there were huge amount of immediate casualties........ don't seem to be overly pre-occupied with the second largest radiation accident since Chernobyl..... ...... and we have museums ripping vehicles gauges from historical vehicles because of the radium on the instruments dashes....... Maybe a CMP will just fall on me one day !!!!! Bob

What is the truth?
Bob, I hear what you are saying and I agree. It seems that there needs to be more study done on the subject. A study where there is no bureaucracy.

Civil Defense air raid alarm test
Apropos the CD thread going here, just thought I'd pass this on.
In December 1961 I was on a Callout tasking at the Signal Corps Armoury at 185 Spadina Ave, just north of Queen Street. (Callout is the same as today's Cl B). I fully remember the air raid sirens going off one afternoon...it was an accepted practice and a way of life then. It was previously announced that it was just a test, so no-one was alarmed. It struck a chord with me though, having lived through some of the V1, V2 attacks in London...hearing the same sound but under different circumstances.

Air raid siren
I volunteer at the Fort Garry Horse Museum & archives when I can and I was on the roof of the McGregor armouries and Gord Crossley pointed out where the Air raid siren once was bolted down to the roof and it must have been big and LOUD!
All of my collection is now at Fred's Civil Defence museum.I figure it will do more good there than on my shelf in my computer room! Once the museum is done,a trip is planned to visit it. Regards,Derk.
