Burglars look for the easiest targets and most will give up if they can't get in within a few minutes. Please see page A3 . & / ' A FlrePreveftttCrti ?? Cigarettes And By THOMAS FL YNN Syndicated Columnist The statement "Cigarette Smoking May Be Hazardous To Your Health'* isn't only about lung cancer. Smoking also causes fires. But, while it's difficult to find a "new way to smoke" that cuts your risk of lung cancer, it's easy to cut your risk of smoking-related fires by changing the way you use smoking materials. If you must smoke, here's how to reduce your risk of starting fires: Start with ashtrays. Wherever you smoke, have a large, heavy ashtray near at hand. Bigger ashtrays are less likely to be knocked nvw Ku rka Wi? "?J- "'J? ~e ? w? W J HVVIUVlill LI lb ** IUC 3IUO UI such 'trays also hold cigarettes more securely so that lighted cigarettes don't land on the floor or furniture. Never throw ashes, burned-out matches or other smoking materials in the wastebasket - even if you leave them in the sink overnight. Use a metal container for smoking refuse or, better yet, just pour ashes down the toilet and flush your troubles away. Now that you know all about ashtrays, your next move will be to remove every ashtray from your bedroom. If you're careful to smoke only when an ashtray is near, -that should take care of smoking in bed. Smoking in bed has to be a number one no-no.

It's easy to drop a' cigarette or still-lighted match somewhere it shouldn't be when you're not really 100 percent. Accordingly, after throwing a party, it's a good idea to check all around the floor for dropped matches and butts - who knows where one went? Perhaps the most dangerous place to drop a cigarette is. in an upholstered sofa or chair.
