TEST YOUR DETECTOR

ITS SOUND ADVICE Your smoke detectors are only as good

as the batteries that power them. Make sure your smoke detectors have what it takes to warn you if there's a fire.

(CONTINUED PAGE 4)

U.S. CONCERNS IN AFRICA Ambassador Robert M. Pringle will

speak on Curre111 U.S. Concerns in Africa: Examples from the Central Regwn at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, 499 Pierce Street, on Friday, Oct. 9 at 3: 15 p.m. Call 646-5490.

Parade lS on Monday, Oct. 12 beg1DD1Dg at 11:30 a.m. The parade route is from Alvardo Street to the Customs House Plaza in downtown Monterey.

After the parade, the Monterey Bay Symphony performs following a re­enactment of Columbus' landing at the Santa Rosalia Statue (Fisherman's Wharf 1).

DETECTOR (FROM PAGE 3) Test them weekly by pushing the test button and replace the batteries with new ones at least once a year, or when they chirp, signalling low power.

Most fatal home fires occur at night when people are asleep. Smoke won't awaken you -- in fact, it will probably put you into a deeper sleep -- so you need the sound of a smoke detector to warn you of fire so you can escape. Keep your smoke detectors working so you'll be protected.

The NPS Frre Department, located on the corner of Sloat and 3rd Streets, will be hosting an open house on Saturday, Oct. 3 and Sunday, Oct. 4 from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
