Major Wolfgang Goetz, Surgeon n. g.
n. Y, on the supernumerary list. who
was acting surgeon general some years
ago. and prominent in organizing the Red
Cross Corps as first aid and ambulance
corps has planned a new scheme, which
he believes will prove as valuable as the
Red Cross organization.
He proposed to organize a Red Cross
National Emergency Corps among the
ne groes, this race, the doctor says,
being very deficient in sanitary knowledge.
His idea Is to form an organization Whlch,
by systematic training, based upon that
prescribed for the medical corps or the
army, can be properly educated IN sanl-
tary matters, and besides helping them
selves in everyday life, can help the COM
munity in peace and the army in war.
His idea is to have sanitary brigades
formed in each state, to aid in possible
epidemic accidents of various descriptions,
etc In addition to the value OF such
body to the military. this Red Cross Corps
would, In the opinion of DR.. GoetZ, De OF
great value in the numerous accidents In
everyday life, which range from the sim
pie accidents In the household to the more
serious injuries and great disasters.
"A great portion Of the SUFFERING, says
Dr.. Goetz may be prevented by a by
stander if he knows how to apply the
proper immediate treatment Many a
death could have been avoided had by
ISLANDERS possessed even slight knowledge
of first aid
