poll, the Rev. Jesse Jackson picked up support for his
presidential bid with a majority of the blacks in that city
choosing him over Democratic front-runners Walter
Mondale and John Glenn.
That same poll placed Jackson third overall behind
Mondale and Glenn. Most national polls have given
Jackson 30 to 35 percent of the probable black vote.
In the exit poll, 54 percent of Philadelphia's black
voters said they would vote for Jackson if the Pennsylvania

The Virtues Of Sr
By THOMAS FL YNN

How often we hear some innovation described as "the
greatest thing since sliced bread." Today, let's review the
fire-wise accessory that's even greater than sliced bread;....
the smoke detector.
We've been through the smoke-detectors-cause-cancer
scare. And we've been through the smoke-detectorscontain-radioactive-materials
scare. But now there's just
no excuse not to install one or more of these silent sentinels
in your home.
What's so great about smoke detectors? Well, out of
the thousands of U.S. fire deaths (one an hour and climbing),
very few victims die in flames. Most die for inhaling
smoke and toxic gases released by a fire several rooms
away; many are found dead without a burn on their
bodies. Obviously, your time of greatest vulnerability to
smoke, the silent killer, is when you sleep. The smoke
detector functions by squealing to wake you up when it
detects hazardous quantities of smoke particles in the air.
There are no two ways about it: Smoke detectors save
lives by awakening people in time to escape ? people who
would otherwise never wake up again. If you already own
a smoke detector, you may now turn to the comics section.
If you still don't own a smoke detector, mark your
place in this column, put down the newspaper and go buy
one. Resume reading on your return.
Therei are several types of smojce detectors. The terms
"ionization" and "photoelectric" refer to different

Said Geraldine Thompson, executive director of the

both potential and problems. We have three battlefronts:
increasing black voter registration, intensifying
voter education among newly registered and inexperienced

aggressively involved in stopping covert> and illegal,
forms of intimidation of these voters."

technical methods of sensing smoke. Either type works
equally well, so you can ignore these terms. Don't ignore
the UL label, though - insist on it. Although you can still
buy a smoke detector that draws power from a wall plug,
most detectors today operate on battery power ? an advantage
since house current often cuts off during an electrical
fire. If you're the forgetful type, you might shop
around for a detector that's programmed to beep
reproachfully when its batteries are getting low.
Install the detector according to the manufacturer's
directions. Your first smoke detector belongs on the ceiling
in the hallway outside your sleeping rooms.

cigarette or a feshly blown out candle to waft smoke into
the detector. Remember that the test button functions only
to confirm that the buzzer is capable of making noises;
you must smoke-test the unit to verify that the entire unit
is working.
Your smoke detector should be part of a home escape
plan for your whole family. Everyone in your house must
know what to do when the alarm sounds - stay low, feel
doors for heat, escape through windows if need be and
meet at an arranged place.
Ever try to build an escape plan around a slice of
bread? Get a smoke detector today - it could save your
life tonight.
