HOW TO SELECT A BURGLAR ALARM

Burglars dislike noise - it attracts attention.  A barking dog 
is the best deterrent in preventing burglaries.  However, a 
watch dog cannot always be depended upon.  Some professional 
burglars have been known to carry delectable "dog snacks" 
in their pockets - and with a full stomach, some watch dogs
make friends easily and forget their purpose of guarding the 
premises.  The most reliable safe-guard to protect your 
home and possessions is a reliable alarm.

Many types of burglar alarms can be obtained for residential 
use.  It is advisable, however, that basic hardware security 
measures be followed first.  If additional security is 
desired, the following recommendations could be helpful.

1.  Obtain estimates from three alarm companies, notifying 
    each of this procedure.
2.  An audible alarm is recommended over silent alarms 
    for residential use in order to first protect persons and 
    secondly, property.
	
Don't depend entirely upon an alarm system to protect you - 
be sure to use proper locking devices.  Any alarm system 
should include:
  A.	A battery-powered fail-safe back-up.
  B.  	Fire-sensing capability.
  C.  	Read-out ability to check working of system,
  D.	Horn sounding device installed in attic through vent.

When shopping for an alarm system, take this list with you.

SECONDARY BARRIER - 
If the value of small personal items warrants protection, 
a secondary barrier is an additional safeguard.  On a hinging 
closet door, install a 1" dead bolt lock.  Store your jewels, 
furs, cameras, guns, silverware and other valuables behind 
this barrier.  Be sure to "pin" the hinges (as outlined in 
"How To Burglar-Proof Your Doors" - available from the 
above publisher.)
