You’d be surprised how easy it is for even amateur burglars to get into many homes and apartments. Professional law enforcement officers estimate that it may take only thirty seconds to pick an ordinary knob lock, and, all too often, a crime that started out as simple burglary turns into assault or even murder. The main thing to remember is that a burglar does not want to draw attention to himself. If getting into your home takes a long time or makes a lot of noise, he’s likely to pass you up for an easier victim. It will cost you some money to burglar proof your home, but not as much as it would cost if you were ever the victim. First, let’s consider doors; front, back and basement if you have all three. They should be of sturdy wood, like oak, not beaverboard or plywood. The best kinds, of locks are those called, “dead bolts.” Dead bolts can only be opened with a key; the pen knife and credit card tricks don’t work on them. The burglar must actually saw through them or force them completely off the door. To have one installed, get the advice of a reputable locksmith. He will be able to determine which lock is best for you, as there are a number of excellent brands to choose from. Further, you should have a chain lock on all of your outside doors. Some experts even feel that it’s good to have two chain locks on the door; one at the regular height, and one at knee level, as a strong lunge can occasionally tear a chain lock out of the wall. You should also have a screen door that locks. Never open the door to someone who claims he wants to give you a ...gift or a prize. That’s a common trick to make people take off the chain, or unlock the screen door. Another way of foiling burglars is to put burglar bars or screens or even heavy wire on windows that would be easy to climb through. Burglar bars come in a number of attractive designs and need not make your house look like a jail. They should be installed inside the window, and, of course screwed from the inside, or all the burglar would have to do is unscrew them. Further, though, you must remember to leave some way of escape for you and your family in case a fire should cut you off from the doors. Many families that have two story houses put burglar screens or bars on all downstairs windows, and keep a collapsable or rope ladder upstairs for such an emergency. If your house has only one story, leave one window without bars, but be sure that it is one easily seen from the street, so that anyone tampering with it would be noticed. Also, put a chain lock on it like the one on the door, and cover the inside panes with chicken wire OME SAFE HOME=«^r by G. E. Finlay, Merchandise Testing I Nj Laboratory Manager Painting can be a pain in the neck. And the back. And the arms. But Montgomery Ward’s exclusive new Ultra- Roller can change all that for the professional as well as the do-it-yourselfer. The Ultra-Roller is new and different. It has an alumi num extension handle that telescopes to any length up to 38'A inches. A simple twist secures the “Quik-Lok” han dle tightly into working posi tion. It’s ideal for ceilings and those hard-to-reach spots that otherwise involve ladders and other cumbersome staging equipment. A patented “Ejectomatic” device makes cleanup less troublesome too. When the painting is complete, simply press the pressure plate and the roller pops off, elim inating direct handling of the messy cover. The roller itself is Ward’s finest 9-inch dripless which gives the smoothest finish available. Wards is the only mass merchandise firm to offer such an advanced painting tool. The Ultra-Roller is one of a variety of exclusive products Wards is introducing so that it would be harder for a burglar to cut through and release the lock. Also, though more expensive, you can buy some burlgar bars that are hinged and will open from the inside. Never hide a key to your door outside or in your car. Both professional and amateur thieves are always on the lookout for this, as the easiest thing to do is walk to your door, use your own key, and clean you out without attracting any suspicion. If you must leave your house empty all day, or will be out of town, ask your neighbors to look out for anything unusual, and call the police immediately. Remember, the police would rather answer an innocent false alarm than find out about the crime too late. Another thing that you should never ignore is barking dogs, yours or your neighbor’s. They are the first to sense anything unusual. If dogs start a distrubance, get up and tum on lights to show anyone who might be lurking around that you are alert and prepared. A sure way to discourage burglars is outside lights or floodlights. You don’t need to leave them burning all night. Just turn them on if something alarms you, and they’ll scare the prowler away. There are a number of fancier precautions people are taking these days. More and more people are having burglar alarms put in their homes. Burglar alarm prices start at about a hundred dollars. In some communities, people are banding together to hire guards to patrol their neighborhoods at night, while many new communities are supplying guard services automatically. You can also buy such things as automatic light timers that turn your lights on and off at the normal time when you’re away on a trip. A peephole in your door is a good idea so that you can see who’s there before opening up. A clever variation of the standard peephole is to have a hole cut in the door, and cover it with a one way mirror. That way you can see who’s at the door without anyone being sure you’re looking at them. Remember to screw the mirror in from the inside. Finally, many police departments and some civic groups will send people to meetings to talk about the many precautions you can take to prevent burglaries, and what to do if you are the victim of one. To find out if such services are available in your community, call your local police department or sheriffs office.

Highway Dept, Builds Drivers For Its Roads ATLANTA (PRN) - The State Highway Department attempts to make each road it builds or maintains as safe as possible. There are, however, other contributions being made by the department to the safety of Georgia’s roadways. This year, the department began requiring each employee who might be called upon to operate any of its 4500 state vehicles to take part in a new driver training program. The training presentation, which was assembled by a large insurance company in cooperation with the National Safety -Council, consists of motion and still pictures, with narration, concerning driving problems and situations. The program features hour-long blocks of instruction on city driving, open road driving, defensive driving, and driving emergencies. Each student is called upon to answer driver-response type questions during the course of the instruction. The sophisticated electronic equipment monitors every student’s response to each question. It also allows the instructor to stop the film and tape to explain or review a Oil Spill Cleanup Co-ops Part Os National Effort ATLANTA (PRN) Georgia’s oil spill harbor cleanup cooperatives are part of a unique network of such organizations now active along the nation’s coastline and inland waterways. The two cooperatives in Georgia are the Savannah River Oil Control Coordinating Committee, located at the Savannah River harbor, and the Atlanta Area Terminals Oil Control Cooperative Committee, which is the Doraville tank farm area located on Nancy Creek. The Savannah Cooperative is made up of nine oil companies and the Atlanta Cooperative is made up of 14 oil companies.

Some 95 per cent of the Highway Department’s 8500 employees across the state will be required to take the course. All employees of the department’s Tifton field division in southwest Georgia will be required to take the course. In addition, course sessions at the department’s Tennille Division will be open to county employees. Course presentation takes about two weeks in each field division. Highway officials say the course is being administered during the winter months because employee’s workload is generally less during that period. Eventually, • Highway Department safety officials hope to make available similar driving courses, aimed at special Highway Department driving problems, such as the operation of tractors and mowers. The Highway Department is the first state agency to participate in the new driver education program, presented in cooperation with the State Purchasing Department, which owns the equipment used in the lessons.

Nationwide, the oil spill cleanup cooperatives have been increasing at a rapid rate, an American Petroleum Institute survey shows. Os the 67 now active, 25 became operational in 1971, and 22 additional groups are in the process of being put together. The oil companies, the API report said, 1 have been the motivating force behind the co-ops, which are being developed in three basic forms. They may be “industry-wide” (limited to oil companies in the area); “community-wide” (a combination of oil companies, conducts the . lessons, augmenting film and tape presentations with vocal instruction. The new instruction replaces an employee defensive driving program begun by the Highway Department some three years ago. The Highway Department is also cooperating with the Driver and Traffic Safety Education branch of the State Department of Education by helping provide realistic roadway conditions at high school driver training courses throughout the state. Highway Department maintenance crews have marked the pavement at several driver-ed courses with realistic lane striping. The crews have also marked off driving tests and exercises at these courses. State Department of Education Driver and Traffic Safety Education Consultant J.B. Angelo Crowe has had high praise for the work of Highway crews in preparing school driver-ed courses. In addition, department crews have provided striping for several State Patrol driver’s license qualification courses. other companies, government agencies, and public organizations); or “subscription” (combined sponsorship of a local contractor who supplies equipment, materials, and manpower). When a spill occurs, the cooperative converges on it with booms, skimmers, pumps, boats, and the like, according to a preconceived emergency plan.

The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Georgia, February 17, 1972 (EDITORS NOTE: This week's column was written by Game and Fish Department Press Services Editor Marvin Tye while regular columnist Dean Wohlgemuth is on leave.) ATLANTA (PRN) - One of the most popular innovations at the recent boat show in Atlanta was the bass clinic, an affair sponsored by an outboard motors manufacturer and hosted by Lake Seminole’s best known bass fisherman, Jack Wingate. Due to the growing interest in fishing for this species, there was hardly standing room after all the seats had been taken. The clinic consisted of a number of expert fishermen telling why they were able to catch more bass than most less successful anglers. They told how to locate bass under a variety of conditions. One thing that many anglers did not realize was that the bass could be found along the shoreline during extremely muddy water conditions. I was fortunate enough to sit through portions of the first three clinics. One highlight of the Saturday afternoon session was a talk by Rev. Bill Conine of Thomaston. Bill told of the excellent fishing on the Flint River for largemouths and for what he called the Flint River Smallmouth. This is a member of the redeye bass family that is found on the Flint. Bill says that both species of bass can be caught on spinner baits, plastic worms and a number of other lures. The Flint is a beautiful stream that would be worth floating for the scenery alone. Although they pictured a scene located some distance south of Atlanta, the color slides that accompanied the lecture looked as if they had been made in the North Georgia mountains. The Saturday night clinic consisted of a movie and talk by Eufaula, Alabama bass fisherman and lure manufacturer Tom Mann. In the film, Tom caught 13 largemouth bass during a day on Lake Walter F. George (he called it Lake Eufaula). Only ' ’ 7 „ . ■ F* e BY DEAN WOHLGEMUTH^ Georgia Game and Fish Commission £ Bass Clinics Score , At Boat Show ■ one of these bass weighed less than five pounds. The largest was a nine pounder. With the majority of the country’s bass fishermen using bait casting equipment, Tom Mann is an exception. He uses spinning tackle, but not the light tackle used by most anglers. He has a stiff spinning worm rod and an intermediate-size reel that can be used for light salt-water fishing. His line is 17 to 20-pound test monofilament. Tom usually fishes with a plastic worm. He lets the lure settle to the bottom and moves it by raising his rod tip. He then lowers the rod to let' the bait settle to the bottom again and reels in his line before making another sweep of the rod. When a bass strikes, Tom reacts by striking immediately. He uses a smaller spinning outfit and six-pound test line for fishing in extremely clear water. This outfit has helped him to take limit or near limit catches when other anglers were unable to score. Tom says that one of the most important things that an angler must learn is where in a lake to find fish. He said that a depth finder could prove invaluable in locating submerged bushes, logs, rock piles, ledges and other “structure” where bass like to gather. “The man who catches a lot of bass will also lose a lot of lures,” Tom said. He claimed to have lost as many as 50 in a day. “No wonder you started making them!” someone in the audience said. M om aann and others showed how an angler could use a little scientific knowledge and catch more fish. Another speaker said that fishing was almost getting to the point where you could, feed all the information into a computer and be told where to go and what lure to fish. If the fishing were really bad, the computer might even say, “go home.” This man stressed the value of fishing just for fun and said that the enjoyment of a fishing trip could not be measured entirely by the size of the catch.
