5) 50 Years Ago in Swampscott, Aug. 10, 1961:  Swampscott Civil Defense Director Forrest Mason announced that there was mounting interest from Swampscott residents concerned about protection from an atomic attack. Dozens of residents asked for pamphlets that describe actions to take in the event of a nuclear attack. He also received several calls about fallout shelters in town. (From Lynn Daily Item.)
