Women driving many miles alone rhould be watchful while they travel country roads as well as freeways, Increasingly, crime has become a concern to all Americans, whether wealthy, middle class or otherwise. Fortunately there are many things homeowners can do to protect themselves from would te intruders First, don't make it easy for an intruder. Have good locks on every door and accessible window Though a thief or assailant still might break in if he or she is determined and has tools, it will take more time and probably cause a racket which will alert you to danger. "Have in mind what to do in case a break in happens," says Sue Radenhop, Oregon State University Extension housing specialist. "Farming communities are no longer immune to city-type crimes, and you can't leave the kit chen door unlocked like you used to." If you arrive home and find a window broken or a door forced open, don't go in the house. The intruder might still be inside and could harm you if you walk in. Drive on to a neighbor's, and call the sheriff or police, Get yourself a good watch dog if you don't have one now, The dog doesn't have to be mean, but should do most of its barking at strangers, not at the moon or passing rabbits. If a dog barks at every little thing, you might not take its warning seriously when bark ing at a prowler. Heed the barking dog and be alert. If you are alone in the house, don't open the door to anyone until you are sure who it is, Radenhop suggests. Just be ATTENTION FARMERS!

When driving to town or a shopping center, lock your car Re watchful in parking lots Check the back compart ment of your vehicle to make sure no one is crouching be hind the seat If you think you're Iwing followed, don't drive home, Head for a police or fire station, a gas station or any other well-lighted or busy area When visiting an unfamiliar city, plan travel routes and obtain directions ahead of time if possible. Travelers, especially women or rural people, inexperienced in the ways of larger cities, some times are assaulted or robbed when they get lost or end up in troubled neighborhoods. Having a phone within easy reach permits you to quickly call for help without revealing yourself to an intruder. Place extension phones at strategic locations, including the shop and barn. The new cordless mxlels allow you to carry a phone with you when home alone, Consider installing a two-way radio system, Never tell an unknown caller that you are alone. Keep outdoor lights on at night. Automatic dusk till dawn lighting can discourage prowlers. Don'! talk to friends in a loud voice in stores or other public places about being home alone this or that night. Don't reveal a large amount of money when paying for things, If you see someone suspi cious, snooping around a neighbor's place or cruising around for no apparent rea son, alert neighbors, and if necessary, call the police or sheriff.

Camel rides in North Africa, swimming In the Mediterra nean, climbing the Eifel Tower, if these are things dreams are made of. then dreams came true for nine Heppnerites this summer. Claudia Hughes, Kimberly Hughes. Jennifer Hughes. Carolyn Hughes. Anne McLaughlin. Wanda Riley. Kathleen Clark. Valery Vole sky and myself. Michele Port mann. traveled to Spain and France this summer on a trip planned by Miss Volesky, local Spanish teacher. The trip was with ACIS. The flight originated in Seattle. Wash., and after va rious stops. 20 hours travel time and nine hours time change, we touched down in Malaga. Spain. After a short drive to Torremolinos and checking into our first hotel, we wasted little time hitting the beach. We just missed the 114 de gree weather and were con tent with temperatures in the high Bus. The Mediterranean is much warmer than the Pacific Ocean and provided great swimming and recrea tional activities. Although top less bathing is vogue in this area, we felt tans are better if they can be seen. We also felt we wanted to support the total swimsuit industry in the U.S. The following morning we ventured onto the major shop ping area. This was our first opportunity to change money. One dollar in U.S. currency was equivalent to 145 pesatas. With all those pesatas we felt rich and did a great deal to help the Spanish economy. Porcelain, leather goods, wood inlay items, lace and jewelry were some of the local crafts that made their way back to Heppner. Shopping was only one as pect of our foreign adventure. Eating was another. The food was very filling. Local cattle men would be dismayed at the lack of beef. The evening meal was never less than three courses and the entree was usually pork, chicken or fish. Bread was a mainstay and wine also managed to become part of our daily diet. We missed fruits and vegetables, but they did appear later in our trip. One of the highlights of our trip was a side trip to Tangier, Morocco in Northern Africa. We rose at 5:30 a.m. and drove by bus down the coast to Algercirus. We boarded a large ferry and sailed for two mine off COMPUTER FORMS STATEMENTS INVOICES LETTERHEADS GENERAL PURPOSE FORMS STOCK FORMS ENVELOPES " 1 fftf Is r ;".',.

Gibralter is a British possession and will remain so as long as barbary apes in habit part of the island. When these apes started to die out. Winston Churchill re placed them to insure retain ing this possession for Eng land instead of reverting to Spanish control. We were asked to wear long sleeves and long pants. Cul turally and according to Mos lem religion, women cover their bodies completely. Once married, women must wear veils. Men are allowed to have four wives. The Moslems were celebra ting Ramadan, their most holy month. Between sunrise and sundown, Moslems may not eat. drink, or indulge in other pleasures. The men must visit the mosque five times daily; women are not allowed in the mosque. We traveled to the hills above Tangier to see the Atlantic Ocean meet the Mediterranean Sea. We visi ted the Casbah. fortress. We then wove through cobble stone streets approximately eight to 10 feet wide. Without a guide one would surely get lost. Among other experiences in Morocco, some of us let the local snake charmer use us as props: we rode camels; and experienced yet other foods. Street urchins taught us the importance of bargaining. Be cause of the cultural and religious differences, we found our time in Tangier not only interesting, but also in formative. By this time in our trip we were averaging three hours sleep a night, but one can sleep at home! While the students spent one last day in the sun. we adults traveled to Mijas, a small village settled "Z. in the hills above the Mediter ranean. The white-washed buildings, flowers, narrow cobblestone streets, horse drawn carriages and many bargains made Mijas one of our favorite stops. We were joined on our trip by students and adults from Georgia. West Virginia, and Ohio. Our final night in southern Spain was spent with some of our new friends, strolling along the promenade which stretched over one mile along the edge of the sea. Leisurely after-dinner walks and meeting new people became activities treasured by many of us. Further adven tures will be featured next week. XL-12, 20-in.
