Five-year-olds are perfectly capable of learning to play chess and, in fact, that is the best age to start them out, says teen-age chess expert Eric Schiller, who serves as a volunteer teacher to kindergarten youngsters. "The earlier they learn to play chess the more beneficial the ability will be," he says. "Chess playing helps develop more logical reasoning processes and helps them to think more clearly and evaluate decisions better." The 17-year-old senior at Schreiber High School here teaches the fundamentals of the game io Miiuergarteners at the Flower Hill Elementary School. He is a volunteer to HELP (Help Educate Little People), a program that places high school students in an assistant teacher capacity in elmentary schools. "I asked for the younger children because I feel they're easier to work with and there's more you can teach someone young," says Schiller.

"I've always had the idea of introducing chess to kids and felt the best place was on the kindergarten level. "I learned at that age and Bobby Fischer did and so did most of the other players I have come in contact with." Never give phone numbers or. he threatens, call the police. Single girls should consider; an unlisted phone number. Also! avoid advertising marital stat- addresses to strangers.

Never admit that you're alone and keep conversations with unknown callers short. If a caller becomes offensive, hang up. If Mrs. Robert Gray Weeks Jr, us in the mailbox lineup. Mrs.

It begins before the tenant moves in. You should carefully assess a prospective apartment's potential safety. It's usually easy to judge whether or not you will feel safe in a new apartment.

Whether you're considering a move or are planning to stay put, the responsibility for your security doesn't stop when the rent is paid. Management's security rules should be reviewed and obeyed. Immediately report any burned-out hallway light bulbs, lost keys or faulty locks to the manager. Also, report strange vehicles, any alarming activity, or a stranger unsavory-looking or otherwise to the manager or the police. Better to risk embarrassment than a break-in.

Be careful who is let in Even if the building has a buzzei system, always check visitors' identities at the apartment door. Never let a stranger in to use the telephone or to wait for a neighbor. Never let repair men to maintenance men in without checking their credentials and don't admit solicitors unless they have identification and a city or country sales permit. Applicants for household Jobs should carry references, too. Front doors should have a night chain and a peephole.

They're both relatively inexpensive and can be found at most hardware stores. Keep potential weapons such as kitchen knives and heavy fireplace equipment out of sight. Most burglars prefer to travel light, defending themselves with whatever happens to be lying around. Keep garage doors locked and use a numbered parking space if one is available. This way management or security guards can easily spot unauthorized vehicles.
