ISOLATION. LIKE ICE
CREAM, LOOKS GOOD
BUT WILL MELT
The thought entertained by
one section of Americans of
retiring from foreign fields of
war and threatened war. will
probably strengthen the deter
mination of the other division
of Americans to concede nothing
and fight it out. The fight-it-out
side is probably a majority of
the whole, for that spirit is an
American heritage.
The candid admission of a
delegate to UN that her coun
try, abhorring war. probably
would prefer peace even with
communism, could truthfully be
repeated by a number of dele
gates from other countries, and
undoubtedly is the preference
of a good many Americans. That
is because people know the
horrors of war but don't realize

what it would mean to live in
constant fear of Soviet police.
The thought of bowing to
Russia as an escape for some
thing worse is wishful thinking
by individuals concerned in
their own personal safety and
security. In some countries such
surrender could be an escape
from war, but that escape is
not for us.
From a purely selfish view
point. the plan of fighting a
broad is safest for us. We should
soon know what war means if
we withdrew to our own bound
aries to repulse an attack of
Russia's hordes.
American unity with common
sense, hoping for peace but not
willing to buy it as a tempor
ary promise, seems to me our
only choice. As to common
sense, that means:
Looking at the threat from
Russia as we would consider
any unknown quantity. We
know it costs money to conduct

remains one unanswered ques

can Russia or any combination

if millions are taken from the

If you should have an acci- i
dent on the highway, or should
come upon another car which
had suffered an accident, would
you be capable of giving correct
first aid? Would you, really—
or do you just think that you
would know the right thing to
do?
During the war many people
had first aid instruction. Some
learned, it thoroughly, others
had a superficial elementary
course, which, if not used, soon
slipped the memory, and when
confronted by the actual need,
find that much of the informa
tion has been forgotten. That
describes my knowledge ex-!
actly.
How many of us know when'
it is safe to move an injured
person? Who can stop bleeding
without bungling the job? What
is the latest and proven treat
ment for burns? Do you really
| know? Are you sure that you
j do?
First aid classes will begin
next week. The exact hours will
be announced later. Both eve
ning and afternoon classes will
make the study available to
everyone. When the course was
first announced, the committee
was given to believe that a large
number of people would be in
terested, but to date, only 15
have registered.
We do not know what faces
us in the future. No one knows
how soon we may find ourselves
confronted with the need for
first aid knowledge, either in
case of invasion or in peace- ]
time. Now is the chance to re
new and refresh a half forgotten \
course, arid learn new or better
methods of first aid which have
been discovered through actual
wartime experience.
Register now for first aid in-!
struction. Call Main 56, or leave
your name at the Record office,1

Let’s get on the ball and learn
first aid. for our own protection j
and those around us.
The hardest thing about mak
ing an apology is' making up
your mind to do it.
