Show LARGE CLASS ENDS COURSE Witnesses Operation of Center as Part of Final Exam Approximately 100 air raid wardens graduated Tuesday evening from the third special warden school conducted in Weber county. The classes are held two hours a day for six days. As a part of their final examination, the class was taken to the control center in the city-county building, where they were given an opportunity to witness the operations of the controls under simulated emergencies. Over one-half of the wardens who graduated Tuesday night will immediately enroll in first aid classes. Two of the classes will meet on Monday and Thursday evenings in rooms 102-W and 108-W at Weber college. Another class will meet Tuesday and Friday evenings at room 108-W. In addition to Ogden city, representatives at the school came from all parts of the county. Included among the enrollees was V. C. Peterson, an officer of the Huntsville town board, who will assist in completing the air raid organization in that area. First Aid Classes To Begin Oct 4 “First aid classes are being organized in various parts of the city to commence Oct. 4,” Kent S. Bramwell, local director of first aid, reported Saturday. “We are endeavoring to cooperate with the local OPA to cut travel to a minimum and still make our classes available to all,” said Bramwell. “First aid is just as important in peacetime, as in wartime. Accidents are no respecter of persons, time or place. We may be the safest person there is, and be the victim of someone else’s carelessness.” “More than half of all the accidents happen in the home. Everyone should therefore take advantage of the first aid classes, not only to prevent accident, but to be able to prolong life after that unexpected accident occurs.” Those desiring to attend first aid classes are requested to call 7961, the Red Cross office, to register.
