Paralyzed Oklahoma Man To Get Iron Lung Abbott and Costello, Funsters Of the Movies, Send Appliance JAY, Okla., June 24.-(AP)-Two men Mason Williams has never seen-Bud Abbott and Lou Costello-have joined the friends who are helping him battle for life against a nerve disease which has virtually destroyed his respiratory system. For five months-night and day-residents of Jay have applied artificial respiration to save the 49-year-old school teacher from a strangling, suffocating death. Abbott and Costello read of Williams’ plight in a newspaper and today an iron lung, a gift from the film funmakers, was en route by plane. Mrs. Williams said her husband was taken to an Oklahoma City hospital previously and placed in an iron lung but immediately began to choke and had to be removed. She said she believed the exhaustion caused by the trip and fright at the thought of remaining there alone were responsible. She added however, that she thought an iron lung which could be kept at the home would help him. When the movie team’s secretary telephoned from Los Angeles to inquire if the lung was still needed, the worn and weary Mrs. Williams was so “excited and happy” she couldn’t even remember after hanging up who had called. A short time later, she received a telegram saying that the iron lung, which Abbott and Costello obtained from the Women’s Ambulance and Defense Corps, was being dispatched by plane, complete with an operator. Williams is suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a disease causing degeneration of nerve tracts leading from the spinal cord to the muscles. All of his muscles, including those controlling the respiratory system, are paralyzed. LARGE WARDEN CLASS STARTS Air raid precautions training started on an intensive scale Monday evening in Central building au-ditorium at Weber college for 180 men who will serve as air raid war¬dens in various districts of the city, including the business area of Ogden. In charge of the course of in¬struction is R. C. Glasmann, com¬mander of the citizens' defense corps, who was assisted at the first lesson by Darrel E. Shaw, corps controller; H. W. Brangham, chief warden, and L. Wesley Robbins, training officer. Of the 180 men, approximately 160 indicated that they have yet to take the Red Cross first aid training course of 20 hours before they can qualify as wardens even after completing their training in the current course. Kent S. Bramwell, first aid training director, and Mr. Robbins will arrange classes for these men as soon as possible, Mr. Robbins said. The warden training will con¬tinue tonight, Wednesday, Thurs¬day and Friday and Monday and Tuesday of next week. MANY TO STUDY FIRST AID WORK Additional Class Will Begin on Monday at Weber College First aid classes will start in earnest Monday evening We¬ber college, Central building, room 108W, Plans have been made to take care of any other requests that might be asked for any place in Ogden city or Weber county, it was reported by the Red Cross office Saturday. Explanatory letters have been sent to all L. D. S. stake presidents of Relief societies, explain¬ing the new program and what procedure must be used to arrange, for classes. Their church officers have requested each member of the Relief society to take first aid and get a first aid kit for her home. Starting Wednesday, first aid will be taught to over 400 R. O. T. C. boys, by instructors of the Red Cross, under the supervision of Col. John McAdam at Ogden high school. "We are now in a position to teach whatever classes are requested," Kent S, Bramwell, di¬rector for the Red Cross, reported Saturday. "We have a goodly num¬ber of instructors willing to assist in any way they can. Classes or groups should approximate 25 be¬fore the work begins, but if you know of smaller groups who want instruction, call the Red Cross, and we can possibly combine your group with another to make an ideal class." A new training course for in¬structors will be conducted by Mr. Bramwell during the third week in January. "Anyone who has com¬pleted standard and advanced training may register for this class at the Red Cross office, pro¬vided they are willing to teach classes in our chapter program. Too many of those who have been trained have not taught classes, and we will be very definite in this understanding for those who wish to take this class."
