Page 2, News, Wednesday, November 2 , 1988 We'll soon be knee-deep in Christmas gifts By Helene Ballard Another week gone by; before you know it we will be knee-deep in Christmas shopping.

Lise, Kyle, Kane and Melanie when neighbours keep an eye on each other's property. Crime Prevention Week, Oct. 30 to November 5, is a good opportunity to review some home security measures. You can help prevent crime in your neighbour- hood by taking the following pre- cautions: * If you plan to be away, even if only for a few days, inform your neighbours of your plans and give them a number where you can be reached.
