Voter Turnout Up For I WASHINGTON ?\For the first time in 20 years, the decline of voter turnout in U.S. elections is being reversed, according to studies that point to President's Reagan's term in office, related voter registration procedures and an unprecedented number of registration ? 'drives as the reasons. "Ronald Reagan has made people feel it does matter who is president ..., that their vote does count," said Curtis Gans, director of the Committee for the Study of the American Electorate. The committee has predicted increased voter turnout for the 1984 presidential election. * The 1982 congressional election attracted 3.6 more voters than the last midterm election, which was in 1978, ^and was the first time since 1960 that the turnout did not gftrtnk. ^ T 7 r': \ *' ^ ?i.%y . . * Military-TafeerOv^Wti LONDON - The Nigerian government was overthrown early* this week and is now under military rule. Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari, the West African nation's new ruler, denounced the toppled civilian government as corrupt and guilty of bringing the weakened nation to "imminent collapse." After the military takeover, the country's borders were closed, telex and telephone communications were cut anda dusk-to-dawn curfew was imposed, virtually sealing . J Nigeria off from the outside world.

Chester A. Crocker, assistant secretary of state for African Affairs, told a meeting of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith in Washington recently that the LffflStlftarfons were productive and were taking place at a [ "high level." In discussing Israel's activist role in Africa, Crocker cited the restoration of diplomatic"~relations between Israel and Zaire and Liberia in the past several months. In the coming year, he predicted, more African governments will resume formal relations with Jerusalem that \ Fire Prevention Dangerous Miscor By THOMAS FL YNN Syndicated Columnist You see it all the time at the movies and on TV. A room is fully involved with fire. Flames roll along the ceiling from either side. Then, down the middle runs our hero, standing tall and looking heroic.

The life expectancy of an unprotected human in a fiery environment is often seconds --- even less if the human insists on being as heroically stupid as the average TV character.

Both Republicans and Democrats turned out to vote in increased numbers in the 1982 congressional elections, said the Gans study. However, in 1984, the groups with the highest potential of dramatic increases in turnout are blacks, Hispanics and women, said social scientist Kevin C. Gottlieb, an aide to Sen. Donald W. Riegle Jr., D-Mich. These groups are heavily Democratic, and Gottlieb cited surveys that show that "two-thirds of the unregistered voters would vote Democratic if they were ^totted ' ^aii[povernment Saturday from the four-year-old civilian government. The military controlled Nigeria for 13 years prior to turning over the government to the civilians. State-run Lagos Radio and the semi-official News Agency of Nigeria carried no reports of the fate of deposed President Alhaji Shagari and his top aides. Diplomatic sources said they were arrested Saturday. Buhari, who declared war on "corruption" and ttvilian economic mismanagement, said the military had no quick formula to fix Nigeria's economic problems. He also said that, when the military relinquished control of the government four years ago, it never realized the civilians would do anything to remain in power. He termed the August elections which gave Shagari a second four-year term as leader of the country of 80 to 100 million people as "rigged." t~? ive Role In Africa were severed after the 1973 Yom Kippur war.

Commenting on the question of Israeli policy toward the internal "homelands" established by South-Africa, Crocker said Israel was 4'cutting back its trade and other formal ties ... and would not accord them recognition of any kind. "This development brings Israeli policy into close parallel with our own with regard to the homelands issue -- in reality, with regard to apartheid itself." ' iceptions About Fire such ? will burn right into your skin if you touch them* And, because heat rises, the higher you go, the hotter it is. Fire instructors -- that is, instructors who train firemen -- like to show rookies just how hot it gets. They'll crawl into a burning room and put a high-impact plastic fire helmet on the end of a stick. Then they'll hold the <^ick up so that the helmet is six feet off the floor ? the height of a standing Fireman. After only a few seconds, they'll bring that stick back down, and the helmet will be a blob of melted goo. Heat's not the worst thing, either. There's smoke -thick, black, dense, choking smoke that crowds the oxygen out of every breath. Smoke-can be so toxic that one or two breaths can kill. Todays's vinyl, plastic and polyurethane home accessories release intensely toxic gases that mix with smoke.
