The above training relates to FS & CMHC's move to evaluate the quality and cost effectiveness of its services. Darlene Krieger, emergency program coordinator, par­ ticipated in the staff college in Los Angeles on "Emergency Programs' Services, methods and Management'.The purpose of the institute was to examine the major issues and problems involved in. community mental health center emergency services.... Specific problem areas covered were battered wives, child abuse, rape, and unique needs of rural emergency psychiatric ser­ vice.'

And while today's dweller is not digging a moat with a drawbridge to protect his property, many are installing some type of household bur­ glar alarm system to help insure their safety. Homeowners considering installing one of these systems should be aware of several key factors before selecting a unit, explained engineers at Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). UL tests a variety of security devices, including home burglar alarms, for con­ struction, performance and safety.. Currently, home alarm systems manufactured by 37 companies are Listed by UL. One of the first things the homeowner should consider is how much protection he wants and needs. Alarm sys­ tems designed for do-it-your­ self installation are usually less complex and less expen­ sive than systems that require installation by experienced alarm installers. However, owner-installed units may also be less comprehensive in the type of protection they pro­ vide, but this does not nec­ essarily mean they are leas effective, according to UL engineers. If the alarm system is the type that monitors doors and windows, the owner should be certain not to overlook any means of access an intruder might have, in order to insure complete protection. A mo­ tion detection system, which relies on movement by a per­ son in an ultrasonic sound or microwave blanket to iet off the alarm, could be used if the owner wants to protect a specific area of the house. Alarm systems can be ei­ ther battery-powered or con­ nected to the home electrical system. Battery systems have the advantage of an indepen­ dent power source, but the batteries must be checked : . I" xx'x" and changed when their pow­ er drops, which could be a disadvantage if you're the forgetful type. Alarms con­ nected to the home power supply eliminate this problem, but the owner should be careful not to overload the circuit to which they are connected. Short-circuits and interruptions in the energiz­ ing power source will leave you unprotected. Home alarm systems use low levels of electrical power, according to UL engineers, but owners installing their own system should still follow the rules for electrical safety when putting in the system. Do-it-yourselfers should also be thoroughly familiar with the instructions and operating procedures to prevent false alarms, cautioned UL engi­ neers. Too many false alarms will put you in the same predicament as the little boy who cried wolf. A properly installed alarm will produce an audible signal of 85 decibels or more at a distance of 10 feet if it bears the UL label. This is approx­ imately equivalent to an auto horn at the same distance. Some systems also can be linked to a telephone dialing mechanism, which will alert a neighbor or other person that the alarm has been activated. However, UL engineers ex­ plained that it is often illegal for these systems to be pro­ grammed to dial an emergency number.

Do sounds actually carry through the air more clearly before the arrival of rain? Though it may surprise some, these old say­ ings are true. When the weather is clear, there's no cloud roof above the earth. As rain threatens and clouds begin passing overhead, often lower­ ing, the effect is one of a sound reflector, and sounds often bounce back, so to speak, from this overhead layer of heavy clouds. The result is a sort of echo- sound, or a hollow sound, which carries farther, clearly, than the same sound does on a bright, cloudless day. Therefore, when familiar noises sound unusually clear, or loud, and are heard great distances, it usually means the cloud ceiling or heavy moist air is lowering above you. And, when this happens, you are usually in for wet weather: So, noises are differ­ ent before a rain, after all. • • • * Memory is the product of intelligence and work. m S>. t f Remaining TREES - SHRUBS •VERGREENSl 20% Hornsby's Reg.
