David Bradford, head of the burglary squad. Dead bolts are the best kind of locks to have on doors in a pnvate residence for a number of reasons, said the sergeant. First of all, they are very difficult to pick. Secondly, they cant be slipped by inserting plastic credit cards or similar items in the door jamb. Also, dead bolts cannot be locked unless someone inserts a key and turns it, he said. Thus homeowners can be certain they have locked the door. Locks on which one merely pushes a button gad then pulls the door shut are bad because its too easy to forget to push the button. Raises Membership Tax The committee shall be giv en reasonable financing, subject to approval of the executive board, to accomplish its purpose And m a sepaiate action, Utah's organized labor raised its per capita, membership tax and boosted tne salary of the its fulltime president Unanimous voting by the delegates to oppose a couple of political platform environmental planks which could inhibit jobs was still another form of expression Parachutist, 39, Killed in Jump Section H 1 Party.

Thieves Give Up Youd be surprised at the number of attempted burglaries th re are cases m which would-bthieves found it took too long to get in or that they had to make some noise to make it, he said tJnfe method of creating such a situation homeowners might find helpful is to install two dead bolts on outside entrances, he said. Not only is it delaying to have to pick more one lock but recently we have had cases m which burglars have used pipe wrenches to yank doorknobs off doors If they must follow this action by picking a dead bolt lock, they are more likely to become discouraged and leave. e 1 Dead bolts will frustrate burglars. This one hums without a key. vf 1 Homeowners leaving on vacation may also install timing devices that will turn their house lights on at dusk and off at dawn, said Sgt Bradford. ; ss iff?, 4 Burglaries Drop Off : f' ;s "'SSPV With increased enforcement, burglaries have dropped off a little this past year," he said.
