Gila Friends Meeting (Quaker) invites everyone to join them at Silver City's Gough Park pavilion on Sunday, August 5, to remember the menace nuclear weapons continue to represent to New Mexicans - and the rest of the world. Bring a chair and join in a circle of silent contemplation at 12:30 p.m., followed by a period of worship sharing. Information on the history of the atomic bomb and on current efforts to abolish nuclear weapons will be available.
The 73rd anniversary of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon in wartime will be the next day, August 6. Three days after an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, killing 70,000 in a moment, another A-bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, killing another 20,000. Thousands more have been killed, sterilized or sickened by the long-term effects of the radiation from those two explosions. Most of the casualties have been civilians. Exhibits at the Aug. 5 event will show the consequences of these two atomic bombings.
