The Old Xray Equipment!

[Michael Alexander]

Rumour has it, that sometime in the 60's the old Xray equipment, that was situated where the police station is today was taken out and dumped in a hole somewhere in the desert, people of the time never fully understood the dangers of dumping old xray equipment just any old place....... this empty piece of the desert has been covered over in later years....and now there are buildings around it...but nobody remembers where this could be...do any of you old timers know something?

Jesus Michael.
This is scary. Are you sure this isn't a Steven King story?

[Michael Alexander]

The point is ( and I stress this is just chatter) that the equipment was dumped in a hole.... and only a few  people from the 60's knew where... i know of at least 10 people who contracted cancer, most have passed on , and none of them worked in the mine..... but all of them had at one time or another worked in the block of buildings that make up th epost office, magistrate complex...... interesting stuff..... makes you wonder.....

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Excuse my ignorance but what would the Post Office,Magistrate building have to do with the buried x-ray equipment.

[georg ruf jr.]

I did ask about Steven King. I'm sure he knows the conection.

[Michael Alexander]

The point of the theory is that (1) Old xray equipment was buried somwhere in town in the 60's...(2) Nobody knows where..(3) a lot of cancer cases occured around the magistrate,cafe, post office complex.....(4) Stephen King never went to school here.....

Put the pieces together people....

Somebody  get  a  geiger  counter  and  scout   the   area ...   surely  it  would  pick  up  if  there  is   excess  radiation  in  the  area ??

[joco Mueller]

It can not be the block that houses the magistrate,post office,butchery since this block was alrady built before the old X-Ray equipment was dumped, unless the post office etc. was moved to some other place i.e after 1965 , after I left CDM.

[Michael Alexander]

Good Point Joco, but what was the area around the post office like....what buildings were there?

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Thats what I wasn't getting earlier,I don't recall much change in that area since early 1960's

[Alfred Boehme]

I think the post office, butch and mag has been there a long time I've seen photo's when the post office was the shop you used to give your list of goodies in and they would deliver to your house

[Cherry (Alcock)]

The only place in the vicinity of those builings is where the "new" telephone exchange was built - maybe there?

[Clint Ebstein]

hey Mike the xrays were electrically generated no power no radiation or what

[Michael Alexander]

Damn... there goes that theory.... but why would so many residents living in the same area , who do not go on the mine, contract cancer.....?

[Clint Ebstein]

Got no idea thats the first I hear of it
