RED GROSS GETS HEAVY CALL FOR FIRST AID CLASS Volunteer Nurses' Aides Applicants Needed, Says Mrs. Diehl The office of the Red Cross in the city-county building was swamped today with requests for instruction in first aid, and workers in the office were forced to request that all registration hereafter be made at classes when they are organized. Kent S. Bramwell, first aid director of Weber county Red Cross chapter, said he would have a list ready for publication Sunday of new classes, teachers and meeting places. Those desiring the standard (beginners’) first aid course are requested to apply at the listed class which best meets their convenience. Women Serious Slower to report for applications were women desiring to become volunteer nurses’ aides, but those who reported, according to Mrs. L. G. Diehl, in charge of the registration, were intensely serious. “We need many more applications in this field, as we must pick the trainees carefully, and many are rejected when the time comes to make the selections,” she added. Age, health, and freedom from family care to enable the trainee to give full time to the work are requirements for enrollment as nurses’ aide. A good educational background is also required, as the trainee must be able to grasp the entire course in a highly concentrated form. Home Nurses The Red Cross office is taking registrations of persons seeking training in the volunteer nurses’ aide corps and the home nursing courses. First aid registration, as previously explained, will be at the class. All other registration, as previously explained, will be at the class. All other registration requests are being directed to the defense council office in the county commissioners’ reception rooms.
