MAYOR HARRY F.V. Siam who doesn't have a vote on the council, said it would set a bad precedent if Caravona's resignation were not requested. Caravona, who was elected to the council last year, was originally appointed to fill the seat left vacant by Robert Wilhite who resigned because he lived in Hillsborough County. Caravona was not available for comment yesterday. -Tribune Photo by John Coffeen Mark Hawes, Of Dade City, Uses His Fallout Shelter As A Photography Darkroom "works great as a darkroom; no windows to seal up," Hawes says.

Bombshelters Were Built Out Of Fear In 50s And 60s H-C From Page 1 with running water, plumbing, electric lights and north of Dade City on U. S. 301, spent $8,000 to construct a shelter for himself and his family. He recalls it vividly and says, "even today, people will spend thousands of dollars for luxury items but are not concerned about safety." "THEY BELIEVE that disaster is always going to happen to the other guy but not to them," he said. Giella said he built his shelter during the Cuban missile crisis using sketches furnished by the government.

Built in his back yard and consisting of double rows of concrete block and a 12-inch ceiling, Giella said it can accommodate 8 persons. He said it was equipped with an air pump, which could be operated by hand if necessary, electricity, a shallow well, toilet and 4 bunks that could sleep eight persons. Canned foods that lined the shelves of his shelter have long since gone to waste. HE USES THE shelter now mostly for the storage of furniture and other valuables. "But it wouldn't take me 2 hours to make it livable again if an emergency developed," he said.

There is little doubt the structure could still be used for protection against a hurricane or other natural disaster. Giella also built one for Mark Hawes, a local grove owner who lives on 22nd Street here. Hawes describes his back yard shelter as a 20- by-30-foot, double-row concrete building. IT HAS 24 inches of dirt packed between the inside and outside blocks. And the blocks were poured of solid concrete and reinforced with steel rods.

He said Giella built it for him during the Cuban missile crisis at a cost of about $5,000. The roof has 6-inch reinforced concrete slab that is supported with a concrete column. There is 30 inches of dirt on top of the roof, which in turn is protected by a conventional-type roof. Once stocked with adequate food supplies for 6 persons, the shelter is still in operational condition an air pump. In recent years, Hawes said, the shelter has been used by his children for slumber parties.

He uses it now as a darkroom to develop film. Photography is his hobby a and the shelter sealed from the light of day makes an ideal darkroom. AND WITH only short notice, Hawes said he could still reconvert it to use in the event of a natural or political disaster. Another shelter is owned by Sam Butch, a fruit stand operator who lives 4 miles north of Dade City on Crystal Way Road. Sam's shelter is underground and is now used for storage.

But a tell-tale 5-foot hump in his back yard shows where it is buried. He said he has actually stayed in the shelter a couple of times. Once during a hurricane. CLEM HEILEN, director of Civil Defense for Pasco, said the shelter system now in effect consists of taking refuge in public buildings. "In the envent of a warning, and if in the target area, take cover," warns Heilen.

MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa is considered a "prime target area," Heilen said. "And if the bomb landed near Dade City it would be considered a but chicken feathers and orange peels." Under present planning by Civil Defense officials, Pinellas and Hillsborough counties and Tampa and St. Petersburg are considered "high risk areas," Heilen said. PASCO, HERNANDO and Polk counties, along with other sparsely populated areas, are classified as "host areas." If tensions built up and a crisis developed, per-. sons living in the high risk a areas would be urged to, relocate in the host areas.

This is called "crisis relocation planning," Heilen said. And what of individual bomb shelters? "They are gone with the wind," said Heilen, adding, "but even the public shelters have no supplies."
