Q. I'd like to ask you a disturbing personal question. As a single college student from a rural community, now living in an urban area, I have been exposed to a variety of young single gentlemen. Each possesses a characteristic such as personality trait, goals in * life, father-image or husband-image, that one has always dreamed of her marriage partner to possess. Should one judge on future compatibility, or present infatuation (love), or just let them all slip by and thus have a lot less worries and problems? In other words, how do you know who is the lucky one? A. To the present moment, on the basis of your question, it would seem that you have not met anyone whom you love. So, you are very smart in letting them all go by. One of these days, however, you may meet a young man and you will know that you love him and that he loves you. And that could be your lucky moment. But when that time comes be dead sure that your luck will hold out And if you feel sure, think positively, go into it honestly, and you can make it hold out forever.

(A series of articles on fire prevention and other emergencies written for your information by the firefighters of Company 1, McHenry.) WHAT'S A BIONIC NOSE? In recent years the fire service has ,seen the in troduction of the most significant devices ever for the * detection of fire. These devices which monitor the air around them are commonly called smoke detectors. Francis J. Murphy, director of the Fire Prevention bureau of the Chicago Fire department, states, "smoke detectors are a most economical way of in creasing fire protection many fold." : ' There are two types of smoke detectors now on the market. One type works roughly on the same principle as an electric eye such as is used to operate some elevator doors. These are called photo electric detectors. Smoke • reaching a pre determined density triggers the electric system that sounds the alarm. The other type of smoke detector utilizes a small radiation source with a finely balanced electric circuit. These are called ionization type smoke detectors. Some units operate on regular house current and some on battery power. The main objection to the house current units is that they do not PAGE 7 • PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1978 -••••••••••••••••••••••••••*•«t i V.A.

Batteries which are beginning to run low should be replaced. Underwriters laboratories requires that battery units must give an audible signal every few seconds for a minimum of seven days when the battery replacement time approaches. Because smoke detectors are of greatest value when everyone is asleep, the National Safety council recommends the prime location for smoke detectors' should be in the area or hallway immediately outside each sleeping area. All bedroom doors should be kept closed during time of sleeping whether or not detectors are installed. Finally, we must emphasize that detectors are only part of the answer to the fire safety problem. Family evacuation plans, including alternate routes if the usual ones are impossible, should be carefully laid out and periodically practiced. Everyone should know how to call the fire department. 0 * • • * One of these days everything will be known but we do not expect to be around for the revelation. Liviag Like a Widower , Q.

I'm living the > life of a widower: I met a lady whose husband has been suffering from a similar brain disorder for over six years. We met through this mutual predicament, and for some months now we have been seeing one another discreetly at my apartment. This town is too small for any appearances on the street We've arrived at three possible solutions: continue our secret meetings, divorce our spouses and marry, or brazenly be seen together in public and let the thoughts of society be damned. Would appreciate your solution. A. Unless you and the woman do the honorable, decent thing, you will be cursed either by furtiveness or by public reproach. It would seem that if the doctors of your wife and of the woman's husband concur that there is no possibility in either case of a return to normal mental health, those marriages are, in effect ended. Two healthy people who sincerely love each other should, it aeems, have a right to be together, but only within a legal marriage relationship. Afraid To Speak Out Q. I have a very strong faith in God, but I am ashamed to say I cannot speak of my faith openly. I would like so much to tell others of the joy and peace I have found in Jesus Christ, but I am embarrassed to bring up this subject, even when I know it might help someone overcome a problem. I might add I am basically a very shy, quiet person who finds it difficult to speak out on any subject Why am I like this, and is there any advice you can give me to overcome this failing? A. You must not feel guilty if you do not verbally witness to your faith. The most effective form of witnessing isn't what you say, but what you are. Be such a radiant, happy, dedicated Christian that by your very demeanor, your actions and your loving, caring spirit people will say, "That person knows Jesus." If you continue this way, later on you will find, we are sure, that when the occasion really requires it you will be able naturally to speak out If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale to discuss in this column, write to them in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564.
