(Knackstedt photo) Sunday, August 25, 1957 MEDFORD (ORZGOrO MAIL THIBUlfE NUTS Screams and Spike Heels Said Girls Best Defense By GAY PAULEY ' New York HP) A woman's best defense against a mugging is her scream. Speedy use of spike heels also helps. "Yell at the top of your lungs," said Edna Fitzgerald, on New York City's force of 249 policewomen for six years. "This usually frightens the as sailant and brings help. But so many women don't even think of it." "As for the use of the heel," she cotinued, "most muggings are from behind. Often a girl can push her foot backward and scrape a spike down her assailant's shin. That's real agony for him, believe me. It may give the girl a chance to break free." Miss Fitzgerald, Deputy Po lice Commissioner Walter Arm and I were talking about safety of a woman in a big city. Parti cularly In New York, crowded with women who have moved here from other parts of the country. Before dicing, a nail in a pap ered wall to hang a picture, slit the paper and fold down a tab. When the picture and nail are removed, the paper can be past ed back in place. Off For College?

Representing the UMC were Robert Johnson, general chair man; James Kowan ana i-iliott Becken. Plaques will be available to companies which have 20 or more permanent employees, with at least 80 per cent of the employees contributors and at least 50 per cent fair share con tributors. A "fair share Is not less than one hour's pay per month for 12 months. Many organizations have agreed to incorporate the pay roll deduction play which will set side a portion of employees' paychecks each month for their UMC contributions. Each company has been asked to select a committee of em ployees to visit UMC board members and hear the crusade's procedures and purposes. A col ored training film has been pre pared by the crusade speakers' bureau and will be shown at company meetings. The city in recent weeks has had a wave of teen-age crimes, from murder to purse-snatch-ings, giving many of us a case of nerves. In one Instance, this week, two young television actresses were attacked by a teen-aged youth who brandished a homemade weapon called a zip-gun. One of the girls scream ed, the other kicked and clawed, and when the youth ran, both trailed him until they located a patrolman. Commissioner Arm Insisted that such incidents are "spor adic and isolated" in this city of eight million people. "It it is any comfort to the folks back home, their daughters are as safe here, as in any other town. Probably safer," he said. .But he added that crime Is on the. Increase nationally; that felonious assaults, which in clude muggings, are up every where. Would training in judo help protect the weaker sex? "I doubt it," said policewom an Fitzgerald, who is sitting in while the boss, Mrs. Teresa Melchione, is on vacation. "Un less a woman has had extensive training, that Is. A little Judo knowledge can be a dangerous thing." Carry A Police Whistle She suggested the best protec tive measures, applicable in any townr Don't get friendly with strangers; be careful in choice of new friends. Carry a police whistle in your purse. Or make one of those small buzzer alarms part of you' purse equipment. When set off, the alarm can be heard for blocks. Never hesitate even In a large city to stop at a house or apartment building and ask 'to use a telephone to call police, if you sense that someone is following you. Don't carry large sums of money. And don't let shoulder strap bags dangle. Keep hand on handbag, "else you're an open invitation to a fcurse snatcher," said the policewoman. Don't travel alone at night. Pair up with a friend even for a short walk home from the bridge club or PTA meeting. At home, don't open the front door unless you're sure who is ringing. Miss Fitzgerald said a door equipped with safety "peep hole" and inter lock and chain should be a routine pre caution. "It used to be," she said, "that no woman would be caught out alone without a big hatpin. May be we should revive it." &(Utt X ylteV J fXWl MtK UrftA Superglov fluid make-up ' containing Lumium mteU cm. tel (U tadiOKU tit JUmu A fluorescent quality in Lumium makes the skin reflect rather than absorb light rays, giving the akin a brilliant and luminous candlelight look and a warm loveliness that it practically incandescent.
