CHigts for (Homeowners EARLY WARNING OF FIRE SAVES LIVES

Every year some 300,000 people are injured by fire. Fortunately, you can help keep your family out of these statistics. Just practice a few basic fire emergency procedures. • Be sure everyone in the family knows at least two ways out of every room in the house. • Don’t open the door if it is hot. If you must run through smoke, stay close to the ground and cover your mouth and nose. • Install a smoke alarm. One alarm monitors the air 24 hours a day and sounds a piercing horn when smoke reaches it. It reacts quickly even in cases of flaring fires that produce little or no smoke. The Home Sentry* Smoke Alarm from General Electric even has a button to help you practice home fire drills. The unit will also automatically let you know when the batteries are running low by sounding a "beep warning’’ for 30 days. When you remove the battery a flag will pop out, reminding you to replace it. • Put your alarm in the

A masonic service was held at the funeral home on Sunday evening. It's the most! Getting the most for their mortgage money has allowed nearly 2 million families to qualify for low downpayment private mortgage insurance which could cut the typical mortgage downpayment to as little as 5%. A colorful free booklet, "The MAGIC Home Loan Can Cut the Downpayment in Half," is available by writing to: MGIC Booklet, MGIC Plaza, Milwaukee, WI 53201. It explains how married couples, single men or women, single parents and non-reiated buyers can buy their dream house through the little known helper called private mortgage insurance.

right place. A prime location is Within 20 feet of each bedroom. This way smoke originating elsewhere will reach the alarm before reaching the bedroom, and the alarm can be heard through closed bedroom doors. Additional smoke alarms should be installed at the top of each stairway and near potential fire hazards to increase your chance of escape from fire. Batteryoperated alarms are easy to install with a screwdriver, and they operate even if there’s a power failure. General Electric also makes a plug-in smoke alarm, and one that can be wired directly into the electrical system of new homes. • Teach your family to get out of the house as soon as the alarm sounds, and meet at a central place a safe distance from the house. After counting heads, notify the fire department from a neighbor’s house. • Once outside, stay out. Don’t go back into the burning building. • Practice home fire drills. Make sure the smallest child understands what to do. Although Fire Prevention Week this year is officially the week of October 9, your family know what to do about fire every week of the year.
