One major step is to adopt crime prevention as a national or local group priority by - choosing a staff to run the program. - informing members about crime and crime prevention Please see page A5 f J Fire Prevention " T r -> Leaf-Burning: By THOMAS FL YNN Syndicated Columnist ? If you're old enough to drive, you're old enough to recall a delightful odor in the autumn air ... a scent that proves that things aren't always what they seem. For, as much as the smell of burning leaves brought pleasure to those of us who knew it, leaf-burning was, in any number of ways, really bad news. Today, it's illegal to burn leaves in most localities. Here's why a once-cherished autumn tradition had to go - and how you can help your fellow man by obeying and helping to enforce leaf-burning laws. For starters, leaf-burning is a very inefficient form of combustion. The wetness and_poor ventilation typical leaf pile make for a lackluster, smoky fire that produces a huge variety of partially burned by-products. In other words, outdoor leaf burning polluted the air something fierce. So, the first consideration in outlawing the practice was ecological. - A * ? ?--! ' ? * A UUJ11U WUWgklW Wttiideration is that leaves make excellent fertilizer and it's a shame to see them go up in smoke. Many municipalities offer free leaf pickup sevice for homeowners who will rake them into neat piles on the curbside. They've found that, by using the leaves as a source of mulch, cities can cost effectively fertilize parks and boulevards. But leaf-burning represented a significant fire risk, ||Ngg| TC k^nera va'L way pTV valu yi : for a Kg you Mp?''

First, there was the danger of a sudden gust of wind stirring up the leaf pile and scattering burning leaves all over, the neighborhood, touching off house and brush fires. Fire educators spent years badgering the public to confine its leaf-burning to covered metal baskets to reduce the risk of this type of fire. But open-pile burning went on. 1 Another danger was that a burning leaf pile seldom showed visible flames. It just smoked. To a careless youngster approaching from unwind, it could be hard to distinguish a burning leaf pile suitable for jumping and playing in. So, leaf-burning is largely a thing of the past in AifiArimi i/>/4atf An/1 uik.l? m W2# ^ i unvi ivh ivuaj ruiut wuuc B UU VI /VillCI IWttlltt Iltt9 IttUCU away, a source of risk has been eliminated thereby ?,? not a bad tradeoff. So please don't burn leaves this autumn. And don't be ashamed to discourage your neighbors who A final safety note: As more municipalities require homeowners to rake leaves into large piles at the curbside, extra care is required to discourage children from playing in those leaf piles. Now and again a motorist forced to hug the curb will plow into a leaf pile which has spilled into the street. That's no place for your child to be hiding.
