For Children:
We all have to be careful when we're outside, but
children face special problems. So be sure to pass along
these safety tips to your youngsters:
Be careful if a stranger
- tries to give you money or candy.
- asks you to go somewhere or to get into a car with him.
- tries to follow you.
- tries to touch you.
- hangs around the playground. >
Instruct your children to walk away if a stranger does
any of these things and to tell you, teachers or a police officer
what happened.

Fire Prevention _ .
Plan And Practi
By THOMAS F.L YNN
Syndicated Columnist
When fire strikes at night, there's no time to ad lib.
?Every family member n>ust know what to do to save hit
or her own life, and do it. Making sure that ail family
members -- even small children - know what to do in a
fire is the province of home escape planning. Making sure
that, when the time comes, each family member uses that
knowledge and displays appropriate escape behavior is
the province of the home fire drill.
You have a smoke detector? Good. Sleep with all
bedroom doors closed tightly? Great. Are there two ways
out of every sleeping room - emergency ladders in second
floor rooms if neccessary? Excellent. Do all family
members know to crawl to the door and feel it, escape
through the window if the door feels hot, and meet at a
pre-arranged place? Fabulous.
BUT - and this is a big but - in a real fire emergency,
full of noise and smoke and heat, it's easy to forget what
you know. Home fire escape plans must be reinforced by
frequent, unpredictable drills.
Presumably, each member of your family was present
when you drafted your home escape plan and each has
used the escape equipment provided in his or her room at
least once. But why not, late some night, hit the test button
on your smoke detector and see what happens?

to go over it later - critiquing performances and
strengthening the weak points. Real fires seldom give you..
a chance likr that ,'t':
Will the six-year-old hide under the bed instead of ,
crawling to safety (keeping close to the floor, where the.,
best air is)? Will the teen-ager be able to open that win-.'
dow you recently repainted to deploy the escape ladder?
It's better to answer questions like this at a time when,
lives are not at stake than to find out about shortcomings,
in your escape preparedness the hard, tragic way.
Plan to conduct home exit drills frequently at different.
times of day or night, at varying intervals. Make your,,
tests as unpredictable as fire itself* and remember the
goals of home escape planning:
Provide positive fire detection (a smoke detector) and^
two ways out of every room (door plus window). .V
Crawl wherever you go if smoke is present. Feel the
door before opening; if it's warm or hot, don't open it.
Exit through the window instead.
Have all family members meet at a specific site for
head counting; call the fire department from a phone outside
the burning building, after everyone is out.
