    Description: Photograph from the Columbus Citizen-Journal Collection captioned on its reverse as "Personnel at the Civil Defense Air Raid Filter Center, 33 W. Gay St." in Columbus, Ohio. The three men in the top row are identified as spotters, and include (left to right) Staff Sergeant Alfred B. Brown, Sergeant Donald E. Witt, and PFC Gene A. Cooper. The men below are identified as (left to right) Lieutenant James M. Diley, Lieutenant Granville F. Miller, Private John A. Fisher, Second Lieutenant Tony C. Lombardi, and Phillip D. Hertenstein, ADM Supervisor. Beginning during World War II and into the Cold War, civilians volunteered as observers in the Ground Observer Corps, part of the nation's civil defense framework. These volunteers would report aircraft sightings to regional filter centers, which were staffed by both volunteers and Air Force members who would plot positions and flight paths. Information was then relayed to air defense centers for evaluation and identification of threats. View on Ohio Memory.

    Roswell and Elizabeth Garst photograph  Save
    Description: Photograph of Roswell Garst and his wife, Elizabeth, outside their home near Coon Rapids, Iowa, 1959. Nikita Khrushchev, who led the USSR from 1953 until 1964, visited the Garst Farm during his 1959 tour of the United States to look at Garst's new hybrid corn. The trip was viewed as a great help to US-Soviet relations in the midst of Cold War tensions. Joe Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine. Though raised in Detroit, agriculture became an important subject of Joe's photographs. He moved to California in 1955 and free-lanced, taking magazine assignments and selling his own work. View on Ohio Memory.

    Mighty Midget Disaster Emergency Survival Kit  Save
    Description: This kit was designed and manufactured by the D.E.S. Corporation of Newark, Ohio. It is intended to help the user survive the first 24 hours of a nuclear war by providing supplies that will allow him or her to reach a shelter without becoming contaminated by radiation. The promise: "You can survive if you stay alive." The kit includes a cloth mask to be worn over the mouth and nose, a plastic fallout coat, and plastic bags to wear over the shoes. These materials should be worn over one's clothing so that any fallout particles would collect on them. The kit also includes a water bag and halazone tablets for water purification, to keep the survivor hydrated until he or she could reach a shelter. When the survivor reached a shelter, he or she would remove their coverings and wash off any remaining fallout with the included Cashmere Bouquet soap and paper towel. The kit also contains a water bag and water purification tablets, and ration bars of Hershey's Tropical Chocolate, so that the survivor will have the energy to reach a shelter. The existence of this kit indicates the numerous business opportunities created by American concerns over security and safety during the Cold War. Included with the kit is a promotional sheet and an instructional booklet. The plastic red case has a carrying strap and a zipper opening at the top, the face mask is white cloth, the hooded coat is plastic and light purple, the water bag is made of tan card stock with a white twine tie and a clear plastic vial with Halazone tablets attached, the chocolate bars are made by Hershey with "Tropical" printed on the wrappers, the soap has its original packaging "Cashmere Bouquet", the foot coverings are clear plastic bags with white twine at the top for tightening.
