COURSE IN LIFE SAVING PLANNED Methods Approved By Red Cross Will Be Demonstrated Future Johnny Weismullers and Helene Madisons will have a chance to improve their skill when the Red Cross life saving campaign opens on July 6. Instruction in the most approved method of swimming and diving, as well as in the proper approaches and carries for rescuing the drowning, will be taught by a qualified Red Cross examiner. F. C. Van Buren, who is in charge of the plans for Life Saving week here, says special stress willb e laid upon the technique of rescue and resuscitation. Even a person who is not an accomplished swimmer may save a life through knowledge of the proper means of artificial respiration. The Schaffer prone pressure method is taught and indorsed by the American Red Cross and can be learned by anyone having two hands. More air can be introduced into the lungs by this method than the average adult uses in natural breathing when at rest. It consists in the main of placing the rescued person in a prone position and applying pressure to the ribs at rhythmic intervals. While comparatively easy to learn, it must be done properly to be effective. This method has been known to revive persons who have been under water as long as 30 minutes. It can be used in all cases of asphyxiation, whether from drowning, gas or electric shock. Recently the national Red Cross awarded a certificate of merit for a rescue in which artificial respiration figure prominently. Louis Walsh of Spokane, Wash., fell from a bridge into the Spokane river. Bill Ross, a state college student, rescued him after he had been under water eight minutes. Ross applied artificial respiration for 45 minutes until breathing was restored. A “Learn to Swim” week in We county will also be observed f July 6 to 11, inclusive at the W gymnasium. Those interested either or both courses may now at the gymnasium. UTAH ASSISTED BY RED CROSS More Money Given In 1930 To State Than Collected For every dollar sent out of Utah in Red Cross memberships obtained by chapters daring the annual roll call of November, 1930, $1.20 has been returned to the state by the national organization. This fact was revealed today by the local chapter, who is in receipt of au¬thentic figures from the Pacific branch office in San Francisco. Following are national Red Cross expenditures in Utah for the fiscal year July 1, 1930, to June 30, 1931: For disabled veterans and their families $2,000.00 For public health nursing services.. 840.00 For cash grants to chapters 1,000.00 For disaster relief opera¬tions 2,500.00 Total .. $6,340.00 In the roll call last November a total of $5,325.00 was forwarded by chapters in Utah to the national Red Cross In payment of 10,650, memberships. Commenting upon the above, Chairman A. F. Kuhlmann said "My attention has also been direct¬ed to the fact that for the present fiscal year the national organization has appropriated the sum of $1,140 for itinerant public health nursing; service in four rural counties in our state. It is amazing to me to realize that Utah has been a beneficiary of the Red Cross to this extent. While I knew that national funds had been furnished to meet our state needs on many occasions, I had no idea that during the past year we had received more than $1000 over and above our Red Cross invest¬ment. "Utah has had some serious prob¬lems. That the national Red Cross has appreciated this fact and come to our support is evidenced by the above figures. Yet at the time of the annual enrollment of members some objections are always heard to having 50 cents of each member¬ship fee leave the community. If the national Red Cross were not supported, it could not do what it has done for Utah; other states have been helping carry our load. "In the coming roll call between Armistice day and Thanksgiving, the people of Utah will have an op-portunity to show their appreciation of what the state has received in national benefits by building up the membership rolls. FLOUR WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO NEEDY PERSONS Ogden And Weber County Share in Benefits of Wheat Transfer Distribution of free flour to the unemployed and other needy persons of Ogden will be begun within a few days, L. W. Nims, chairman of the Weber county chapter of the American Red Cross, announced this morning. The flour will be furnished form the 40,000,000 bushels of grain recently given to the Red Cross by congress from the grain held by the United States stabilization corporation. Mr. Nims received a letter this morning from the district office in San Francisco saying that Ogden and Weber county can have grain enough to be exchanged for flour at the local mills to last for 90days and if there is an emergency more grain will be forthcoming. A committee to receive the requests of the unemployed will be formed and these requests will be turned over to the Red Cross for certification. The area office in San Francisco will then authorize the use of enough wheat to fill the orders. The flour mills of Ogden stand ready to trade flour for this wheat, mill men report. M. G. Pence, district manager of the Farmers National Grain corporation, who will deliver the stabilization wheat to the mills upon confirmation from the Red Cross and Chicago office of the Farmers National, reported that he had grain on hand now which could be delivered to the mills immediately and later replaced from stabilization wheat held at other points. The grain will be evenly distributed between the flour mills of Ogden. Father Obtains Id in Continue Funeral Journal Louis Finesilver of Los Angeles is continuing his trip to Denver Colorado today with the body of his dead son in the back of his truck because of the assistance given him by the local chapter of the American Red Cross. Finesilver applied to Mrs. M . C. Gwilliam, secretary of the local chapter. Thursday for assistance saying that his truck in which he was hauling the body of his dead son, had broken down, and he was unable to proceed to the Colorado interment site. Because of the unusualness of the situation, a hasty check was made by police officers and city health authorities who thought that perhaps a murder had been committed. After a quick check, it was found that the man’s permit for hauling the body were authentic, and he was transporting the body in this unusual manner because of lack of funds with which to ship it by train Due to the efforts of the local Red Cross, he was able to proceed on his journey Thursday afternoon. MANY WILLING TO LEND HAND Excellent Response Made To Call For Relief Work Helpers There will be plenty of help available to manufacture garments from any cloth that may be obtained from the Red Cross, Mrs. H. C. Gwilliam and Mrs. J. T. Rushmer declared Saturday.
