Are YOU Concerned?
Kodiak’s first aid classes got underway this week with >
>the arand total of twi enrdlees from the town.
Tnese classes have been organized by the American ’
Red @ross to train persons in the art of handling casualties
immediately in the event of any accident, either in war or
peace.
First aid training is valuable at all times, not just when
bombers are flying overhead. Any person can use the training
received to advantage in his home or place of business, should i
the occasion arise.
Perhaps the lack of interest locally is caused by the |
current hopes for peace. But it is still the duty of the civilian j
defense director to see that those working with him are e-■
quipped to handle casualties should it be necessary.
It is regretful that in Kodiak only two persons are as
suming the responsibility of becoming trained in first aid.
Thirty persons on che civilian defense staff at the naval sta
tion are attending the class.
It is to be hoped that greater interest in our own wel
fare will prompt others to take advantage of an opportunity
that will mean protection for themselves and their fellow-cit-'
zens. ,
