Official Hits Hoarding of First Aid Kits Raid Warden Asks Public to Curb Buying Signs of hoarding of first aid supplies have prompted Clem S. Schramm, state air raid warden, to warn the public against unwise and indiscriminate purchase of surgical gauze, bandages and similar materials. The wave of hoarding is not confined to Utah, but information from national civilian defense officials are installing first aid kits in places where they are not needed, Mr. Schramm said. Private purchase of emergency kits, national officers say, is largely a waste of materials. In every comunity which is likely to be bombed, chiefs of emergency medical service have established field units comprising doctors, nurses and trained auxiliaries ready for day or night services. “England’s experience has been,” Mr. Schramm said, “that while first aid kits are desirable, the most important point is to have trained medical auxiliaries with facilities far superior to the ordinary first aid kit. “First aid training is helpful and there would be many instances in blackouts and minor accidents where such training would serve. Bomb casualties are of a different type, and it is useless and wasteful to store away huge quantities of first aid material for such purposes, especially if it means depriving trained medical workers of needed supplies. The public should use care and consistency in buying from fast-dwindling stocks,” the warden cautioned. Plain City Presents Farewell Honors PLAIN CITY—A social in honor of two men who will leave soon for service in the armed forces will be held Friday at eight-thirty p.m. in the Plain City L. D.

Class Meets Tonight The ski patrol first aid class will meet tonight in room 214 in the Central building at Weber college, at seven-thirty o'clock, instead of in the Forestry building. The in¬structor is Barbara Weeks. Not Coffins, Police Aver Police note to excited bystand¬ers at the scene of accidents: Police do not carry coffins around in their autos. Those big boxes contain first aid equipment. And furthermore, the best thing you can do at an accident scene is let the police take charge for the officers have had first aid training and know that one of the most dangerous things to do with an injured person is to pick him up and lug him into a house or automobile. Officers offered these com¬ments today because remarks from bystanders at a recent ac¬cident tended to interfere with their work in administering first aid to a child struck by a car. It seems the bystanders were quite insistent that the child be taken into a house, and then a pair of women nearly fainted when the first aid box was taken from the car.

Instructors completing the course will immediately be assigned classes to teach. Nurses and teach¬ers having completed 20 hours training may take the instructor's course, and others interested must have completed both the standard and advanced first aid courses. "Ogden places favorably with cities three times its size, as to its first aid training program," Kent S. Bramwell, director of training for the Weber county chapter of American Red Cross, said. Mr. Bramwell has just re¬turned from a special school at San Francisco. "Reports show that more than 863,000 persons have had first aid training up to April 1, in the U. S. The objective for the current year is set at 2,000,000 first aid trained persons," Bramwell continued. "The amazing thing about the whole emergency set-up, is the way the American Red Cross, without any additional expansion of its present program, is handling all the demands made of it. The po-tentialities of the Red Cross are now being brought to light in a manner inconceived by most peo¬ple." Present instructors are requested by Mr. Bramwell to return all their equipment at once.
