The only other visit to subsaharan Africa by a United States President was that of a plane refueling stop by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1943 at Liberia's Roberts Field enroute from Casablanca where he went to treat with Britain’s wartime Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill and France’ s Le G rand General De Gaulle. “ Jimmy Carter’s Odyssey to Black Africa — Part One” is scheduled to roll o ff the printing press by the end of August 1978. "A fte r dinner sit e while; After supper walk a mile.” Thomas Fuller A knock on your door one night, and the person outside says urgently, “ 1 need to use your phone — there’s been an accident!” What would you do? Most of us would open the door — and perhaps admit a robber. Accord ing to L t. LeRoy Williams head of the Crime Prevention Unit of the Madison, Wisconsin Police Depart ment, an “ emergency” is one o f the many ruses that robbers use to get in to a home. What you should do in such a case, Lt. Williams says, is to keep the door locked and offer to report the accident yourself. ( I f that doesn’t satisfy the person outside, call the police and report a possible in truder.) Unlike a burglar, who hopes to sneak in and out o f your house un detected. the robber is prepared to use force to get your valuables. Rob bery is primarily an urban crime: seven out of ten occurred in cities of more than 100,000 population. Well over 400,000 take place every year, and residential robberies have in creased sixteen percent in the past five years, so you should know how to protect your home against them. The basic rule is simple: Always Keep Your Doors Shut And Locked. Safe behind that barrier, you have time to sort out friends from possible foes. Check through a wide-angle viewing peephole in the door, or from a nearby window, to make sure it’s your regular delivery man, for example. If it’s a stranger with mer- chandise you don’t remember or dering, or a repairman you didn’t request, ask him to slip his credentials under the door. To be completely safe, call his office to check on him. D on't rely on door chains, Lt. Williams warns. A strong kick, or a shoulder rammed against the door, will break the chain or pull out the screws that secure it. The favorite target o f robbers are women, the elderly and babysitters. Babysitters are p articu larly vulnerable, because they usually don't know the family routine. They must be firmly told that if “ Cousin Lou from out o f town” shows up, they should explain the situation and say they will leave a message. I f a “ neighbor” asks to borrow a cup of sugar, they should politely decline. If someone needs to use the phone for some kind of emergency, they don’t have to turn the person away — just make the call themselves. I f all o f us follow those sensible rules, the national robbery rale will take a quick drop. Just keep Lt. Williams’ advice in mind: “ Keep the door closed until you know who’s outside.” Christopher Jenkins of Portland is presented NAACP ACT-SO award and *1,000 scholarship from Louis Gossett.
