| IN VIEW of the unusual activity of burg- lars and sneak thieves at the present time, the following protective precautions are | suggested to householders:

1. Don’t leave your house until you are positive that you have securely locked every door and window. : | 2. Don’t leave your key under the door mat, over the door, or in any other unsafe | spot.

3. Don’t forget to place a chain fastener | | 1 |

on the inside of the front door, to protect your family from unwelcome intruders.

4. Don’t keep large sums of money, bonds or jewels hidden in your home. Put the cash in the bank and the bonds and jewels in a trust box. Petty cash should be kept locked in a metal box.

5. Don’t worry about a lost key getting into doubtful hands. You can have the lock changed at small cost.

| of your household. Duplicate keys can be made quickly and cheaply.

7. Don’t lay your handbag on a counter while you are looking over merchandise. This is an opening that invites any purse snatcher in the vicinity.

8. Don’t leave your motor car parked anywhere unlocked, and don’t forget to take your keys out of the car after you have locked it.

| 6. Don’t be short of keys for all members |

9. Don’t depart on a vacation or other journey without leaving your home securely locked.. Also notify the police to keep an eye on the house while you are away.

10. Don’t use gift theatre tickets mailed to you by an unknown person, without care- ful inquiry. The stranger may be using this ruse to be sure that you and your wife will be absent when he calls at your home on burglary bent.

11. Don’t be a victim of the mean thief who works on mail boxes in apartment houses. His racket is to extract government checks mailed to dependents of our men fighting Overseas. He punches in the lock of a letter box and takes the check.

12. Don’t forget to phone the police if you see any suspicious looking stranger lurk- ing around your home or neighbour’s homes. Phone, and in a few minutes two policemen in a radio car will be on the scene.

THE old woman at the Ulster frontier was asked if she had anything to declare. Noth- ing at all. But what was in the bottle? Oh, only holy water, holy water from Lourdes. The customs officer pulled the cork. “Whisky it is,” said he. “Glory be to God,” cried the offender, “a miracle!”
