And of the goods stolen during these crimes, less than five per cent are ever returned to their owner. What can you do to help protect your family and ypur property? Many law enforcement professionals suggest the installation of hpme security devices. A rtcent National Burglar and F re Alarm Association re p rt, for example, found i that 25,000 burglars and arsonists were apprehended during 1977 because of home alarms. The portable burglar alarm is one such device you may want to consider be cause it requires no actual installation and most of these alarms are affordable. Zonar, new from General Electric, is a portable alarm, unobtrusively styled to look like a small radio. It is battery powered, so there's no need to fear cut wires or power failures. This small alarm works on the princi ple of ultrasonic sound. If an intruder should crow ita sound waves which extend UD to su rest to ouard rinnn aiiu' wmaowiri .lOUU.

A U.S. Newt & World Report finding indi cates that most residential burglaries are committed by youngsters who live within . six to 12 blocks of the : house being robbed, rather ' than by professionals. Whether the intruder is a neighborhood youth or a pro, a twenty-four hour timer can help discourage potential entries by giving your home that "occupied" look. Similarly smoke alarms, which sound a piercing horn when smoke enters the sens ing chamber, can protect your family against the trad-; gedy of fire. You also might consider equipping your home with a security light for home . power iauures. it your power goes out for any reason, a portable security evacuation light will help lead your family out of darkness and into safety.

In thm article, a distinguished American bus- inessman, the , president of the Formica Corporation, shows how your interests, and those of business inter mesh. By Martin B. Friedman Certain individuals and or ganizations in government want to bring business "to heel." Then they criticize business for speaking out in protest against being brought "to heel." Businesses represent many billions of dollars in invest ment THE PENALTY FOR SUCCESS Fouodaf loo Id Spenser Rovacp at Uvbostino You pay for government regulations in the form of higher prices and tax dollars. How much protection is too much? Friedman across our land, mil lions of jobs for Ameri cans, and no small portion of the future health and viability of our country. We have the right to a voice in public policy debates. Businesses have constit uencies, just as government agencie and officials do. . Our constituencies include employees and prospective employees, shareholders, managers, suppliers, custom ers andour local communi , ties, as well as the national communit that benefits from our labors. We have the right to assume an advo cacy role on issues of impor tance to these people. In many cases, the constit uency of a given business may be larger than that of many public agencies, and its relationship to that busi ness more relevant to the real-life concerns and every day interests of individual Americans. The elected public official has a demanding constitu ency that cares about both his philosophy and perform anceand holds him di rectly accountable. The appointed official, however, is a level removed from the public observed by and accountable to none but the most keenlv in volved special interests. The public in whose name so much is done, knows little or nothing about his per sonal philosophy or per formance. In the past few years, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has devised new ways of looking at thousands of. businesses. My company, for instance, Formica Cor poration, has been locked in a struggle with the FTC since last May when the agency decided to have our trademark which is also our company n ame canceled on the grounds that it had become generic. The FTC says the Formica name has stifled competi tion, yet many of our com petitors have spoken out against the FTC action. The FTC apparently feels we have abused the public trust. But no consumers have complained about us. If we haven't stifled com petition, and we haven't wronged consumers, what have we done? We've been too successful. We've be come too well-known! It is difficult to see how spending millions of dollars in taxpayer and consumer monies on pursuit of trade marks will either lower costs and prices or lessen infla tionor to see how strip ping famous trademarks will increase innovation. SALiSBURY-Mra. Ed win O. NorveQ, president of the Proctor Foundation, hat presented t check in the amoung of $15,000 repre senting a part of a $25,000 grant to Living stone College for the reno vation of Dodge Hall on the campus of Livingstone. According to a statement from Mrs. NorveD, The Board of Trustees of the Proctor Foundation realizes what a tremendous asset Livingstone College is to the city of Salisbury, and we are proud of die fine work everyone is doing at Livingstone." Dodge Hall wis opened in 1896 and is the oldest building on. campus. It has played a vital role during most of Livingstone's 100 years of service and thus is of major historic signifi cance to the college. But, even more significantly, Dodge Hall is a symbol to a people - a monument to past struggles and triumphs and a living reminder of a dream still to be fulfilled, fttafai Dr. F. George Shtp nuuL Livingstone CoBege and die entire constituent fami ly is grateful to die Proctor Foundation for their con cerned effort to help im prove the quality of higher education at LMnstone. This has constituted a mam mouth undertaking, but die institution possesses die expertise, resolve and com mitment to set the fob done. I salute the vast array of friends, leaden, supporters and members of the Proctor Foundation who are striving to assure continued growth for Lrvinstone College. Although the historic value of Dodge Hall alone provides a strong case for its preservation, as many as fifty or more students can be comfortably housed once the remodeling is complete. The refurbishment of Dodge Hall will be a tremendous asset to the college in helping to solve housing problems, Dr. Shipman concluded.
