It will resume next week. ? The Crime Prevention column is a weekly public service of the Chronicle, the East Winston Crime Task Force and the Winston-Salem Police Department. Summer is in the air - and prowlers are afoot. So, as you open doors and windows to let in the fresh air this season, be sure you aren't also inviting in burglars, warns a professional security rtianager. ?"Serious crimes against people and property off n occur because individuals carelessly fail to protect their homes against illegal entry/* explains James P. Weaver, corporate security manager for R.J. Reynolds Industries Inc. Weaver says following a few simple rules and using some common sense are usually all that is needed to pro"Whether at home or away on vacation, the best way to protect yourself and your property is to make it difficult for burglars," he says, because they don't like delay, noise or risk. "Entry to a residence should be difficult enough to cause a would-be burglar to go elsewhere in search of an easier victim." Protecting a home does not have to be complicated,' Weaver says, and he suggests these steps to safeguard people and property: ; Get to know your neighbors. Make them aware of who comes and goes to your home, and when. Lock all outside doors with deadbolt locks, secure windows with window locks or bolts, and utilize track locks to secure all sliding-glass doors. At night, leave one or more lights on in locations not * ? ? ? visioic irum winaows. ror extended absences, use timers to turn lights on and off. Keep garage doors closed and locked whether you are home or away. Leave a radio on with tts volume low when you are away (preferably tuned to a talk show) to create the impression of conversation within yourhome Don't leave notes indicating your absence or when you will return. Don't leave spare house keys in obvious places such as the mailbox, under the doormat, over the doorsill, or under potted plants or decorations near entry doors. Never admit strangers. Install viewing devices in solid-core exterior doors. Ask strangers to identify themselves before opening the door. Report any solicitor or salesman without proper credentials to the police. If practical, keep a dog to discourage strangers from your property. While on trips, have someone pick up your mail and newspapers and periodically check to see that your house is secure. Make arrangements for someone to provide lawn care if the trip is to be lengthy. Don't display your name on a mailbox or a plaque. Identifying your residence in such a manner can enable a burglar to phone ahead to be sure no one is home. i puiwcizc inps or me tact that your house will be vacant during a certain period of time. Keep a list of serial numbers and descriptions of personal property such as television sets, stereos and guns. Photograph jewelry, unusual art objects and one-of-akind items. If you return home and there are signs of a burglary, don't go in. Call the police from a neighbor's house and wait until they arrive.

We all have, whatever paper we read. The twisted wreckage of fire trucks, police cruisers anc ambulances, torn from their life-saving mission by e preventable accident. Unfortunately, laws and traffic arrangements regarding emergency vehicles differ from city to country, from state to state. Some progressive municipalities have systems which electronically give emergency vehicles a continuing series of green lights along their routes -- 01 which cause traffic signals along the route to show red on all sides. For most areas, though, emergency vehicles must pick their way across crowded intersections against red lights, cross traffic and great knots of stopped traffic in their path. In most areas, state law requires motorists to pull to the right curb and come to a full stop when an emergency vehicle is displaying lights and siren. Some areas only call for you to bear right and slow down -- but the pull-overand-stop policy is always safer, where traffic permits. For your part, be attentive.
