This is part of the gathering last Wednesday that came for the dedication of the new dual purpose fallout shelter designed and constructed by Smith Concrete Products Co. of Kinston. Mayor Guy Elliott of Kinston is extending an official welcome to the group, which included Congressman L.H. Fountain, who made the dedicatory address, and both state and federal officials of the Office of Civilian Defense.
The “Peace Shelter” as it is called by the builders was designed by the company VEEP, John E. Kelly, and Bill Gower. It meets the requirements of radiation protection and can also be used as a playhouse for children, a den for adults or an attractive party room.
