Reid, Assistant Chief Engineer, 500 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois 60606. Senior Hot Line (Written under the auspices of Lt. Governor O'Neal) Considering the ratio of senior citizens to the rest of the population, a national statistic that states that 14 percent of the crimes in the country involved the elderly as victims, brings into focus a situation that is alarming if not intolerable. Seniors who think ahead and work with the Police Depart­ ment in crime prevention can help lower that ratio. Officers Nick Gramc and bill Whitney of the Belleville Police department made some very helpful suggestions. - Purse snatchers and pick­ pockets can be outsmarted. When in a crowd, move your wallet to an inside pocket, clutch your handbag close to you. Place a pocket comb in the wallet. The teeth of the comb will make it difficult to remove the wallet from a pocket. Do not carry a purse by the straps, dangling, as an easy target. It is safer to put your money, credit cards and check book in an inside pocket. Carry the purse upside down; if grabbed - " - the contents will spill, thereby foiling an attempt. (Pub. Wed., Apr. 20,1977) -Cooperate with your banker Have your Social Security check deposited directly into your checking account; it is safer. Do not withdraw your savings at a con artist's suggestion. If anyone presents themselves as a bank examiner, FBI agent, police officer, detective or bank of­ ficial, and asks you to withdraw money, check with the Police department or your banker and have them investigate the situation for you. Do not keep large amounts of money in a cookie jar or buried in the back yard. Shown are some of the facets of the unique gym class. Clockwise from upper right: St. John's Motor moms plan their weekly events for the children; the bicycle exercise finds the students on their backs; jumping jacks are performed by a group; and a student walks the balance beam. -Home security suggestions: Haye a phone by yur bed for quick contact to the outside if needed. Install an alarm system with a button in the bedroom The noise will let someone know something is wrong. Engrave your valuables with your driver's license or Social Security number. Many police departments have electric engraving kits that can be borrowed. Put a dead bolt on the door; a chain lock is helpful, but a peep hole is safer. Secure your windows, but do not nail them shut in case of fire. Invest in shot pins, which will let you open the window, but locks the bottom pane of glass to the top pane of glass. Leave a radio on when you leave the house. When you are away overnight, connect a timer to a lamp that will go on at dusk and off when you would normally be going to bed. Contact the Police Department when you are going to be leaving town for an extended period. Don't brag about vacations in advance Leave a key with a neighbor. Do not be afraid to be a "busy body". If something you see in the neigh­ borhood is unusual, call the police The Police department wants your cooperation to prevent crime to senior citizens.

In Washington, it can also be turned into a best seller. -Press, Pittsburg. FREEZING LOCKS I have an outside padlock on a storage unit which freezes over after a cold winter rain. Do you have any suggestions? G. Mizelle. Pascagoula, Miss. Take a plastic baggie and nail the closed end a few inches away from the padlock with the open end in a vertical position. Drop the padlock into the baggie and secure the open end with a rubber band or piece of wire. BROKEN LIGHT BULBS / have never found out how to remove a broken light hulh from its socket without either getting a shock or cutting my fingers. Wm. Brown Paradise. Calif. Jam a rubber-handled screwdriver handle first against the base of the bulb. Twist it as if you were actually holding onto the bulb until it comes out. Or, you can jam a bar of soap into the broken bulb and twist it out. Ask Josephine [The Liberated Handywoman] PAINTING In painting patio furni­ ture. I always have a prob­ lem when I get to the bottom of chair legs. Is there an easy solution? T.A. Pruett, Winston-Salem, N.C. Place plastic lid covers or even tops from aluminum cans underneath the legs before you start painting. Now you can paint right down to the bottom without turning the furniture over or making messy spills. SPREADING ADHESIVES What is the easiest way to spread adhesives while doing such projects as installing cork wall, coun- tertops and floor tile? A. Cousins, Kedallville, Ind. By making a spreader from a 1 Vi to 2-inch section of a used hacksaw blade, you can spread paste-like glue creating a rid^e effect as you spread. Some of the most common­ ly asked questions about remodeling and home con­ struction problems are answered here. If you have a problem, ask me about it. I will answer as many as possible in this column. Write to: Ask Josephine, P.O. 649, Forest Hills, N.Y. 11375. Sorry, no questions can be answered personally. A physical education program for the development of motor skills, such as balance and coordination, has been introduced to the first and second grade Students at St. John's school in Johnsburg. St. John's Athletic association is responsible for initiating the program, including the providing of materials and equipment, and. recruiting and training volunteer adult help. Classes meet twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 9:45 a m Since the school does not have a gym. classroom space is utilized. The children are tested initially for balance and "coordination, and placed within small group classes. Each class is staffed by at least two adults. STAFF PHOTOS BY WAYNE GAYL0RD The class period is divided into three segments The first segment is a warm-up exercise period The second period is devoted to the motor skills lesson plans, while the third segment is a time for creative activity usually reinforcing skills taught. The lesson plans follow a developmental program starting with most basic coordination skills. Besides providing a structured physical education experience, this program is designed to develop coordination skills which have an effect on the child's perception and will influence his ability to read and write.
