News Herald from Port Clinton, Ohio • 5

Monday, November 21, 1983, News Herald, Port Clinton, 0.,5 Briefsc 'The Day After' Hospital Computer supplies the words the "hype" given the drama by the press before hand. "I watched the talk shows and any other programs that I could dealing with, the movie," Greer said. "Because of all that hype I expected the movie to be a lot worse than what it was. "It didn't affect me as much as I thought it would. Maybe part of that was because of all the civil defense literature I've read over the past four years telling me how to deal with the effects of a nuclear disaster." Linda Booth, area manager for Columbia Gas of Ohio, said the movie made her think more about the possibility of a nuclear holocaust.

"I think I should be looking for a book on how to survive," she said. "I don't think we'll ever get to zero arms because of the lack of trust between countries. "I believe the movie has given people like myself a better awareness of what nuclear war is all about. It's more devastating than I ever imagined. "Yes, it scared me," Booth said.

"It scared the hell out of me." Continued from Page 1 something much worse than what I saw. "Maybe I was more prepared for it," he said. "I wasn't quite as shocked by it, but it was a pretty shocking movie as far as the depictions of a nuclear attack. "I believe the movie was accurate," he said, "and if anything, under-portrayed a nuclear attack." Jeannette Cole, 1586 Plasterbed Road, Port Clinton, had a different perception of the movie. "I thought that it was probably good that a program like it was aired," she said, "but all the way through I was aware it was a movie.

"I kept wondering why am I not reacting to this," she said. "I think it's because I see pain and suffering on the news almost every night. That affects me because I know that it's real. "I don't think the movie affected me because I knew it was a movie," she said. "It did make me stop and think about it." Greer said he felt one reason some people may not have reacted as strongly as others to the movie was 'Day After' Faces 2 DUI charges Michael Beaver, 23, 315 Ash should have gone home Friday night after Port Clinton police stopped him the first time and charged him with driving while under the influence.

CINCINNATI (AP) -A computer that speaks for people unable to speak by themselves will soon be available in the United States. The computer, called CONVAID, allows someone with a speech problem to make sentences by pressing buttons on a keyboard.

A recorded voice speaks the message to another person. The computer will be introduced in the United States later next month or early next year, but was displayed at a weekend convention in Cincinnati. "It can be programmed for everything from swear words to love conversations," said Zita M. Albes, a 65-year-old Yugoslavian professor who got the inspiration for CONVAID. Ms.

Albes, a child psychologist, developed the idea for CONVAID after working with autistic and dyslexic children in England after World War II. One autistic child had trouble communicating, so Ms. Albes brought out a shoe box and tape recorder to try an experiment. As the small child pointed to symbols drawn on top of the shoe box, Ms. Albes played a tape recorder so the girl could hear the spoken word that matched the symbol.

After a few tries, the child tapped out a sequence on the shoe box and was able to communicate. That success eventually led to the portable, battery-operated computer called CONVAID, designed for use by learning-disabled children, stroke or burn victims, immigrants and foreigners, victims of speech-impairing conditions or diseases, and others. Ms. Albes and representatives of the Los Angeles-based CONVAID company introduced the computer at a five-day American Association meeting in Cincinnati. The new computer differs from other communications aids because it is not bulky, is flexible for all types of persons with speech impairments, and can be pro-grammed or reprogrammed to meet individual needs, she said.

can't quit crying. It was so real. I hope I'm already dead when it happens." In an interview with ABC's Ted Koppel after the movie, Shultz said U.S. policy, "for decades now" has been "based on the idea that we simply do not accept a nuclear war, and we've been successful in preventing it." The movie, Shultz said, "certainly dramatizes the unacceptability of nuclear war. It says to those who have criticized the president for seeking reductions, that really that is the sensible course to take, and what we should be doing is rallying around and trying to reduce the numbers of these weapons.

"Of course, to do so means that we have to persuade the Soviet Union to come down along with us." In a panel discussion with Koppel, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger criticized it as "a simple-minded notion of the problem. Are we supposed to make policy by scaring ourselves to death?" Continued from Page 1 by QUBE, a two-way cable TV system, 87 percent said they believed nuclear war could be avoided. Sixteen percent said they had not considered nuclear war a real threat before seeing "The Day After." Of those, 42 percent said the show changed their minds. Reaction among other viewers ranged from shock to anger. "I think it is a disaster to show a film like that on American television," said retired Army Lt.

Col. Gary Hartel, in Harvard, Mass. "It makes Americans fearful of standing up against the Soviets." "I feel emotionally drained and terrified," said Beti Wyn Holcombe, 40, of Columbia, S.C. Rick Meyerson, 10, of Miami, said he was "sort of scared at the beginning that this' could really happen, but then I noticed other things that could stop this from happening." But Beth Ragan, 15, of Nashville, said it scared her so much "I -Calendar Boys, 15, facing charges Charges are pending against two 15-year-old Fostoria boys found about 5 a.m. Sunday in a car in a ditch at the intersection of Darr Hopfinger and Mulcahy roads, according to Ottawa County sheriff deputies.
