Unless you take the proper precautions, crime can become an unpleasant part of your vacation. When the summer months arrive, criminals seem to work harder and the number of crime victims increases. To insure that you can fully enjoy your vacation. I'd like to suggest some strategies that should make you and your family less vulnerable to crime. Before you even leave home, however, make sure that your t" residence has that occupied-at-the-momen- appearance while you are gone. (1) As you travel, try to avoid having that Im a tourist look about your car. Vacationers autos are frequently victimized because thieves know that travelers often leave valuables in their vehicles. Maps and travel brochures left on the dash and scats are telltale signs that the occupants of the car are on vacation. (2) Clothing hanging in a car or luggage on the back seat is an open invitation to car prowlers. Even though it only takes a thief a very short time to break into the trunk of a car, your spare clothing and luggage are safer in the trunk. Whenever possible, do not leave those items in your car while the vehicle is unattended. (3) Dont carry an excessive amount of cash. If it is necessary to travel with a large sum of money, dont display it openly. (4) Don't leave valuables in your hotel or motel room. Most lodging facilities will provide a safe place to secure your valuables while you are staying in their accommodations. Be careful, not careless. Enjoy a carefree vacation. (Ed Note: Even though much of the main travel season is over, this is of value at any time of year.) Stand IWY: Subsidized Subversion by Clarence Af. Kelley, Director FBI Washington, D.C. 20535 A John F. McManus Canal, and a host of other goals of world Communism. As part of his contribution, President Ford named a National Commission on IWY, all of whose members were blatantly Then, Congress passed the Bella Abzug bill, which authorized the spending of $5 million of taxpayers money to finance IWY conferences in each of the fifty states. The state IWY meetings were to select delegates to attend a national IWY conference, now set for November 1 in Houston. The Belmont, Massachusetts United Nations began 1975 by proclaiming International Womens Year (IWY). A few days later, on January 8, 1975, President Gerald Ford issued an executive order committing the United States to formal observance of this same favored project of womens liberation. Neither the United Nations in its proclamation nor President Ford in his order bothered to trace the origins of IWY. However, Communist and Socialist, publications here and abroad made it quite clear that IWY had been their baby all along, dating back at least to 1910 when the Reds selected March 8 as International Womens Day. According to The Guardian as an independent radical news weekly), the celebration of International Women's Day has for decades been a particular focus for communists in all lands. In recent years, the date has officially replaced Mothers Day on the Communist calendar. As the wave of womens liberation swept across the globe, its promoters decided to adopt the substitute for Mothers Day and to extend it to an entire year. The UN and the U.S. government dutifully fell into line. In the United States, Congress eventually extended the IWY beyond a single year, and even fueled the project with a $5 million appropriation. (self-describ- pro-ER- 18-2- IWY Subversion Many of the state conferences have already been held. These federally financed meetings have, without exception, promoted homosexuality, the Equal Rights Amendment, abortion on demand, government child care centers, and whatever else the womens lib movement has sought. In each state, the agenda, ground rules, and leadership have been selected in advance with the help of 42 commissioners appointed by Jimmy Carter. Reports on the various meetings indicate that virtually anything goes at IWY conferences. Communist films and literature were prominent at the Minnesota meeting; twelve workshops on lesbianism were held in ColoTwo, four, six eight, rado; smash the t family, smash the state! was the battle cry at Wisconsins IWY gathering; and Colorado's opening session heard Ms. Mildred Persinger, one of the federal commissioners, declare: This is the first federally funded revolution! Despite the attempt by subversives to use IWY and federal ed Goals of IWY If you ask one of its partisans, the goals of IWY are peace, freedom, and equality for women. But at a world IWY Conference in Mexico in June 1975, more specific and more indicative goals hit the headlines such as IWYs insistence on Marxist of redistribution wealth, family-supplantin- g funds to overturn traditional American values and mores, an influx of determined, d women simply outvoted and outnumbered the libbers in at least a dozen states. These patriotic women are now planning determined opposition at the Houston meeting.

When our grandchildren some day say, Grandmother, where were you when all those IWY women met and voted such things as legalizing homosexuality and abortions on demand? we will say, We went, we met, and we conquered.
