But remember, it is up to you whether you fight back or not," Const. Shrive said. She also noted that keys make a "great weapon." "I'm amazed at the number of women who carry steak knives in their purses for protection. How will they help unless you have the killer instinct and not many of us do," she said. She explained that since the wrist is the weakest part of the body, the man will grab the wrist forcing the woman to drop the knife. He will then pick the knife up and "he probably has the killer instinct." Instead of knives, Const. Shrive said keys were more effective when clenched in the hand with the ends poking through the fingers. "You can bet your next week's paycheque that he won't bend over to pick them up," she said.

Shrive noted. `How many of us keep our aoors locked at night? How many of us keep our doors lock- ed when we are at home by ourselves during the day?," she asked the women. "You are as safe as can be when the doors and windows are locked. If the doors and windows are open, that's when the problems begin," she said. The best way to protect yourself at home is to not open the door to strangers. Always ask for identification of some type, she said, adding most service employees carry iden- tification and if not, a telephone call to the place of employment will confirm the stranger's identity and purpose. When arriving home alone at night, she advised women to "drive into the driveway so your car lights pan the house. If you see something that is metallic or flashes back, don't get out of the car." - - APARTMENT DWELLERS When living in an apartment, there are a number of things a woman can do to protect We'll give you up to 10 oz. of silver whenyoup e one ofNational's superfi inv'ents byNovember 30.
