Black Africa, the first official visit
by a United States President in of

The only other visit to subsaharan

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

"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.”

A unique and widely acclaimed

sacred, secular, spiritual and gospel
songs in an ” A Cappella” style, will
present a concert at Hughes
Memorial United Methodist Church,
July 8th, 6:00 p.m., 111 N .E. Failing
Street.
The choral group was organized,
and is directed by the Reverend En
nis Whaley, Pastor o f the Grace
U nited M ethodist C hurch, Los
Angeles, California.
Although they do not consider
themselves professional, they have
reached the point where they com
pare favorably with some of the best
a cappella groups. Their efforts have
resulted in a number of public con
cert appearances. In 1973 the group
won high acclaim in their appearances
in Mexico City at the Centennial
Celebration of the Methodist Church
in Mexico. The praises can be sum
med up in the words of one reporter:
“ Creatively artistic and meaningful
presentation.”
