—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 18, 1961 6 FALLOUT AND RADIOACTIVITY Poor Dief Worse Than Fallout In view of the recent score over contamination of milk by radioactive fallout from USSR, bomb tests, the Pennsylvania Association of Milk Dealers would like to bring several points to the attention of the public, G Donald Siemer, of the association said this week.
