<\ Here & There In BUSINESS Deterrents j To Burglaries Next time you're out on the tywn or off on vacation, remember to forget to turn the lights off. Or at least some of them. According to Commonwealth Edison company, police ex­ perience indicates that one of the best deterrents to after- dark burglaries is light. The advice comes at one of the burglar's busiest seasons - vacation time. The most recent figures available show that a burglary is committed in the United States about every sixteen seconds. In 1969 there were almost a million homes and apartments burglarized* In conjunction with relatively inexpensive electric timers, you can protect your home and property with lighting at nominal cost. Edison says that you can use electric timers to randomly turn lights on and off in several rooms for less than two cents. It would cost about the same amount of money to keep just one 60-watt bulb burning from dusk until dawn. Police say that closing all the drapes and shutting off lights, is a dead giveaway that a home is unguarded and ripe for picking by an uninvited guest. For-best protection, Edison suggests that you vary the lighting pattern for a "lived-in" Insurance Agents Recount Savings In County Funds The McHenry County Association of Independent Insurance Agents has been responsible for a significant savings in county funds and in providing in-depth studies of insurance needs for the county board of supervisors, Jim Frisch and Frank Low, association members, reported at last week's meeting of the county-wide group. The association is a service- type organization serving in­ dependent insurance men in a way a Chamber of Commerce serves a broad spectrum of businesses. The association offered to serve as the in­ surance consultants to the county board of supervisors' insurance committee and has served without a fee in this capacity for four years. In addition, Frisch said association members have assisted with a survey of buildings, their contents, and locations of various pieces of equipment and titles. After a study of health care needs for employees, Frisch has drawn up recommendations to update the coverage and make it coincide with increasing costs and available hospital services. This goes to the insurance committee and bids will be requested soon. Association members heard a report on fire prevention and fire fighting equipment and on training personnfel in using the equipment. It was given by two men with Fy-R-Line cor­ poration, a firm with offices in Elmhurst and Rockford. Displaying new type equipment were John Fitzpatrick, chief executive officer and senior vice-president, and Jim Darby, production manager. Fitzpatrick said his firm is qualified to inspect a business or industry and counsel the insurance men on what equipment will provide maximum protection and safety at minimum investment. Fy-R-Line conducts fire training programs to show employees how to use equip­ ment. One specialty is in the area of servicing restaurants, a type business that requires special knowledge of the requirements. Darby discussed new developments in automatic sprinkler systems and in dry chemical extinguishing systems. Bob Mortell, chairman of the golf tourney for youths spon­ sored by the McHenry County Association of Independent Insurance Agents, said the six county winners will vie in the state youth tourney at McHenry. It will be held this week. Mortell is chairman of the state meet also. He asked members to assist by helpingto find housing for the anticipated sixty participants who will come from throughout Illinois for the three-day event. It started Tuesday and concludes Thursday, July 15. The boys will stay in the homes of local citizens, a custom that began three years ago. look. Change the times lights go on and off. One of the best rooms to light up this way is the bathroom. In a two'* story home have lights going on both floors. A radio or TVmat goes on for a short period is another trick police say keeps potential burglars off- balance. An added touch for safety and decoration is an outdoor post light with an electric eye. This type of lamp automatically switches itself on at dusk and off at dawn. Outdoor house lighting discourages a burglar from approaching a home. Although it's impossible to burglar-proof your home, you can sharply reduce the risks i and stock the odds in favor of the house. Other simple precautions suggested by Edison for the upcoming vacation period: -Lock all doors and windows. In more than half of home burglaries, entry is made easy by inadequate locks. In six per cent of home break-ins, the burglar simply walks in through un ocked doors and windows. - Don't leave keys in such obvious hiding places as the porch flower pot or under the mat. A burglar may let himself in as easily as Aunt Harriet or the next door neighbor. Leave keys with neighbors, friends or family. -Don't keep cash or other valuables at home to attract thieves. Store valuables in a safe deposit box. - Use sturdy locks and chain guards on doors and windows. Door frames should be tight and hinges hidden. - Have someone pick up mail. Cancel deliveries during vacation. - Keep a record of serial numbers of watches, cameras, electronic equipment and other valuables. Private markings also help to identify and recover possessions. - Don't publicize your vacation before you leave. Wait until it is over to talk about the fish that got away and show off the tan that didn't. - Don't take any risks should a burglar break in \^hen you are home. Call police as soon as you can and notice anything important such as a license number or distinctive clothing. Delegates At July Assembly Of Witnesses Delegates from the Wood­ stock congregation of Jehovah's witnesses will be among those who will be at­ tending the "Divine Name" District assembly being held in Milwaukee, Wis., July 14-18. Dominick Fontana, presiding minister of Jehovah's wit­ nesses in this area, stated that the convention in Milwaukee will be one of some fifty-three conventions being held in the British Isles and North America this year. The five-day conclave has been designed to help old and young alike. Bible dramas, with modern day application, will be included with other Bible lectures. Wayne M.

As a district supervisor of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, he is interested in the worldwide preaching activities of Jehovah's witnesses in over 200 lands and islands of the sea. Chicken Man Cackles More Information Chicken Man has recently cackled out the news of his latest light-bulb popping idea. It was not immediately clear just what his cackling meant until the McHenry Area Jaycees contaced an in­ terpreter and finally learned what he was trying to say. Through the interpreter it was discovered that Chicken Man, while marching in the Marine Festival parade, will not only be passing out candy to the younger set, but also free tickets to the Jaycees Chicken barbecue to be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, July 18, in the city park. The only stipulation Chicken Man has put on these free tickets is that the children receiving free Former Gang Member Guest At Area Church tickets must be accompanied by an adult when he or she turns in the ticket. Chicken Man also cackled out a scratchy, but sincere in­ vitation to all children and adults to join in the fun and come to the park Sunday for "The best chicken dinner around". Proceeds from this and all other Jaycee-sponsored fund raising events will benefit various projects including the establishing of a McHenry Rescue squad.
