New product could save your life You awakeriVifn" a 'start it's two o'clock in the morning and smoke is drifting from the hallway into your bedroom. What should you do first? Alert everyone in the home to the fire and get them to safety, say officials of-ficials at the U.S. Fire Administration. Life ccmes first putting out a fire to save your property is secondary. The loss of life and massive destruction destruc-tion of property each year as a result of fire in the United States is of staggering stag-gering magnitude. A U.S. Fire Administration Ad-ministration study reported in 1981 a total of 2,828,000 fire incidents, 31.000 injuries, 7,600 deaths and $6.5 billion in property losses from fire. Residential fires are the number one fatal fire in the United States and because many fire deaths occur during dur-ing the sleeping hours, these deaths could be prevented if an alarm system woke the sleepers before they became victims. A recent study conducted by the U.S. Fire Administration reported that when a fire occurs, the risk of dying dy-ing in a home where detectors are not installed is over twice the risk in homes where they are in operation. The National Bureau of Standards estimates that 3,000 lives per year could be saved, or approximately 37.5 percent of the number of fire deaths in the U.S. could be reduced annually If smoke detectors were in use. Now, Emergency Call System by American Bell completes the smoke detector function by not only alerting occupants to the danger of fire but also by automatically placing the call for help, This new smokefire alert, when triggered by a smoke detector, automatically dials any preprogrammed pre-programmed number including the fire department, answering or alarm bureau. The message, programmed by the owner, reports the fire, address, phone number and other pertinent information. in-formation. This automatic call for help allows people to leave their homes quickly and reach safety. The system operates via a transmitter, transmit-ter, which is placed within four inches of each smoke detector in a home. When a smoke detector sounds a warning, war-ning, the Emergency Call System transmitter signals a console, which activates a voice synthesized message "Fire, Fire, Fire" which is repeated for 30 seconds. If within that 30 seconds, the "cancel" button is not pushed, the console will automatically dial the preprogrammed pre-programmed emergency number of the owner's selection. If that call is not acknowledged, the console will dial a second pre-programmed number, alternating between the two numbers until it has gone through the process four times or until someone signals the machine to shut down by pushing the "3" button on a Touch-Tone telephone. The units are available at American Bell Phone Centers with a suggested retail price of $199.95 for the console and $29.95 for the transmitter. Emergency Call System has been endorsed by the Fireman's Fund Insurance In-surance Companies, and they are offering of-fering a 5 percent credit to policy holders who purchase and install the system. This country's record for fire suppression sup-pression is the highest in the industrialized in-dustrialized world but only our awareness of safety and the life-saving products available can prevent fire's cause and spread.

Sunshine is good it makes plants grow, it lights up our world it makes us warm, it does beautiful things to the sky when it "comes up" and "goes down." Too much sunshine for your skin is not so good it could give you a sunburn it could blister or peel, and too much over many years could make your skin dry, wrinkled and tough.

CHECK LISTINGS FOR EXACT TIME 1983 Com putog (SPG RTS PRCTE) These ex-jocks return to telecast NFL games NEW SIGNALS Not all the jocks stay on the field. It looks like there is no stopping the flood of ex-players ex-players into broadcasting. Former standout wide receivers Ahmad Rashad, Reggie Rucker and Bob Chandler have joined the NBC Sports broadcast team for 1983 NFL telecasts. tele-casts. So has newly retired Kansas City Chiefs head coach Marv Levy. All four are working as analysts during NBC's 102-game 102-game telecast schedule.

The veteran NBC analysts are: Merlin Olsen, John Brodie, Bob Trumpy, Bob Griese, Gene Washington, Jim Turner, Mike Adamle and Dave Rowe.

He saw duty as a pre- and post-game post-game reporter during the NFL playoffs and NBC's coverage of Super Bowl XVII. He became an experienced experi-enced local sportscaster in Minneapolis while playing with the Minnesota Vikings. Rucker joined the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent in 1969.

This past year, he worked as a color analyst for USFL games on the ABC Radio Network; and in the same capacity for Buffalo Bills pre-season games on WKBW, the ABC-TV affiliate. Hints for homeowners Considering the difficulty of getting a contractor when needed, it's no wonder homeowners are becoming skilled amateur repairers and improvers. If you think you're "all thumbs," and nave shunned the do-it-yourself trend, why not try an easy project requiring re-quiring only basic and minimal-investment minimal-investment tools? More storage is a major need of most families shelves are a quick answer, with only a measuring tape, saw, hammer and screwdriver to complete com-plete the job. Dripping faucets are a nuisance and energy-wasteful a few washers, a crescent adjustable wrench and that same screwdriver will solve the problem. Is the lawnmower's rotoary blade just chomping, not cleanly cutting the grass? All it takes is a "Home and Garden" file to restore a once-sharp edge.
