just weren't SO many little prob
lens to keep you from appreciating
its virtues?
You can make your house haven
instead of a BOBBY trap by making
advance preparations, and using
foresight instead of hindsight Here
are 18 questions to test your home
preparedness:
l. Are you prepared to fight small
fires. with the proper equipment
fire extinguishers, a handy bucket?
Do yon know the telephone number
of the fire department?
2. Are tree limbs or trunks rott-
ing, a threat to house a ndfamily
when laden with ice or hit by
high winds? Get them sawed of
before they cause disaster.
8. Are you prepared to handle
intrusion? Do you know the num-
ber of your police department? Are
you armed with some protection
dog, gun, etc?
4. Can you do minor repairs-fix
a sink washer or small leaks? If
not can you get someone to do it
promptly before it becomes q real
annoyance?s
5. Is your house adequately wired
so you dc not blow a fuse box when
the new portable oven or brOiler is
installed?
6. Are there indications that your
water pressure is low? New pipes
may clear up the problem, and
prevent a bursting pipe from flood
ing the cellar.
T.. Do all members of the family
know the house in case of emer-
gency-the location of fuse box.
pump lever, furnace switch, flash
lights, candles?

remove excessive rubbish? Who
would you call to pump out food
ed cellar or repair a broken fur
mace?

ty, such as the hazard of entering a
flooded cellar and the danger of
electrocution?
TO- Do you know where you would
move the contents of your freezer
in the event of power failure? Many
stores have food lockers, and some
neighbors may have their own
power generators. Locate a place
now so you can move your frozen
goods pronto.
IL. Do you own a ladder tall
enough to reach the roof or do you
know where you could reach one
quickly? S upose Junior should
climb out the window to a roof
ledge. How would you get to him
for rescue?
H. Are there keys to your doors
in case you are called away from
home suddenly? Do windows lock
securely?
13. Are there small leaks in your
roof? Get them repaired while the
