Red Cross Widens
First Aid Training
Preparedness for home defense,
both on the civilian and industrial
fronts, during the past year result-
ed in an increase of more than 50
per cent nation-wide in the number
of persons trained in Red Cross First
Aid, it was announced here by J. W.
Summers, Roll Call Chairman of the
Rusk Chapter.
'Mr. Summer's statement, coupled
with an appeal for greater member-
ship support for the 1941 Roll C«U>
declared that more than 575,000 per-
sons were trained in Red Cross First
Aid in the past i2 montTTs throughout
the country.
In Cherokee County all igea .em-
ployed by the Texas State Highway
tD©partijient have taken these First
Aid Courses, t
In Jacksonville sixteen of these
inen have completed both the Stand-
ard course and the Advanced course.
Review course for Jacksonville men
began Monday night, October 27. The
wark is, being taught by Earl Mims,
who- 'qualified as an instructor by
taking the Red Cross First Aid In-
offer several courses in the Red
.Cross Standard First Aid Course as
soon as arrangement can be made.
"The United States can well look
to Great Britain for an example of
the value of First Aid Training," Mr.
Summers said. "Through Britain's
corps of volunteer First Aid workers,
much of the sting of the blitz-kreig
has been relieved. In London and oth-
er British cities volunteer First Aid
corps not only are saving fives; they
are acting intelligently during the
important minutes that count—while
the doctor is on the way. Quick intel-
ligent treatmnt by first aid trainees
meaning just this: doctors are be-
ting able to handle more cases per
day in reducing air raid casualties."
Red Cross First A?d training is not
solely a war preparedness program
MX, Summers pointed out. .On qur
highways, in our homes, Red Cross
trainees are taking a vital role in re-
ducing the annual tolls of accident
death, he added.
"Today increased employment in
the defense industries is exposing ad-
ditional hundreds of thousands to
possible accidents," according to Mr.
Summers. "If the Red Cross is to fill

Increased highway travel is pre-
cipitating need for the expansion of
Red Cross Highway First Aid sta-
tions and mobile units, Mr. Summers
declared. During the last year, the
number of stations and mobile units
manned by Red Cross trained First
Aiders rose to 6,844, said Mr. Sum-
mers: :>Last year's total of deaths on
the highway, through motor vehicle
accidents, was 34,500, the largest in
our history.
Some 30,000 volunteer First Aid
instructors were on the active rolls
of the Red Cross last year, it yiM
pointed out. In the coming year
thousands of additional instructors
will be trained to teach First Aid to
those in their communities interest-
ed in being able to act at the scene
of an .accident or emergency.

projects, is the formatioa of. First

Emergency treatment of the in-
jured, vital as it is in fighting the
;nroads of accidental death and ser-
ious injury, is but part of the Red
Cross picture, according to Mr. Sum-
mers. Last year some 9,000,000
"check lists" wee distributed as part;
of the Red Cross Home and Farm
Accident Prevention program. By
checking homes from attic to cellar
with the Red Cross lists, household-
ers were enabled to locate and reme-:
dy accident hazards ordinarily un-
noticed, until an accident occurs. .
Expansion of First Aid Training
and Accident Prevention programs
are two of the reasons why the Red
Cross "la seeking its largest member-

Red Cross Chapter will conduct its
annual Roll Call November 11-30.
