fLAlNDEALER • FRIDAY, MARCH 12. 1182 P \ Htr» Rnd There In Business Real Estate Facts (by Yvonne Beer, Executive Officer, McHenry County Board of Realtors). With crime on the rise, homeowners and renters alike have become more concerned with home security. A professional thief can get into almost any house or building, regardless of location. However, here are some tips on making your home more secure. Most burglars are amateurs who try lots of windows and doors until they find an easy entry. Pay close attention to openings that are well-concealed but have flimsy latches. Consult a hardware store and replace any lock or closing device that can be easily forced. Be sure your doors have dead- bolt locks; doors with windows are more secure with a key-only operated lock inside and out. If you have a sliding glass door, an old broom handle cut to length and placed in the track will help, although the door might still be removed from the track. Place two metal screws in the top center of the upper track just above the door so the door will barely slide under the screws. This will prevent it from being lifted and jumped out of the tracks. Old wooden sash, double- hung windows also can be a problem, particularly if there is a gap between the frames. This permits a burglar to force the latch with a piece of metal. You can eliminate this possibility by drilling holes on the inside edge where the frames meet. Drill holes completely through the top of the inside frame from the inside and continue part-way into the bottom of the outside frame. Just slip a big nail or carriage bolt into the holes and the window cannot be opened. Burglar alarms are not foolproof, although they can scare off a nervous amateur. If you opt for an alarm, remember that simpler is often better because a simple system is likely to have fewer breakdowns and cost less. If you are thinking of a monitoring service with your system, first check out the service with the Better Business Bureau or other appropriate organizations. And be sure the siren or bell on your security system is legal in your community. If you try putting yourself c 4803W. ELM(RT. 120), TEENAGE COURSE 15 -16 -17 AGES Certified 30 HR.

CAMPAIGN CHAIRMAN. ROCKFORD. IL IT-- in the position of the burglar or if you've ever looted yourself out of your home, it's frightening to realize just how easily your home can be entered. But, don't despair as most homes can be made more secure with just a few hours' work. Modern Lesson Gen. John J. Pershing's ill- fated expedition into Mexico took place more than 60 years ago, but it may hold some modern lessons for military planners putting together the proposed U.S. Rapid Deploy­ ment Force. "Black Jack" Pershing en­ countered peculiar problems with the ordnance corps and the army's supply system while preparing for the excursion against Pancho Villa. As Pentagon officials go about the task today of figuring out how to get soldiers and their equipment to the Middle East on short notice, they might well consider the plight of Persh­ ing, who was stuck in New Mexico with the wrong material and the wrong personnel.
