Dec. 19.1941 Skidmore Asks Schools to Aid War Work School executives throughout Utah were appealed to Thursday by Charles H. Skidmore, state superintendent of public instruction, to take steps immediately “to deal with various war emergencies.” “If you have not already done so,” he said in a letter to executives, “will you kindly call your teachers together to consider ways and means in which you may deal with various war emergencies, and to give real service at once to state, county or local organizations which are coordinating the efforts of all good citizens to make their work most effective. “Would you be so kind as to contact the head of the city or county defense council in your area and to supply the names of all persons you may know who are trained in first aid work and in nursing. At the same time you may feel free to ask the cooperation and the help of the defense council unit, or subdivision thereof, nearest your school. “In this way the governor’s defense council will be able to give aid to the schools as well as to receive it, and all may work unitedly for the general welfare of our people.” Jan. 7, 1942 CHANGES MADE IN AID COURSE Switch Caused By Large Number of Requests From South Ogden Due to the large request for classes in the South Ogden area, first aid instruction will be changed from the South Ogden city hall to the Burch Creek school tomorrow evening, beginning at seven o'clock.

Expect More Teachers “We expect to have an additional 45 competent first aid instructors at the conclusion of Mr. Raney’s course,” Mr. Bramwell reported. “If requests keep coming in for classes we shall need all of them and more. Some of our instructors are already teaching four and five classes a week to meet demands of the community. They are happy to give this time voluntarily. “We are especially anxious that all professional teachers and nurses who have had first aid training in the standard course attend Mr. Raney’s classes. The two courses will begin each Monday at seven p.m. in room 101 at Weber college Central building.” Additional information may be obtained by dialing 7961, the Red Cross office.
