 Sutton Gives Out the Prizes

Before a good sized crowd at Redwood park yesterday afternoon between POO and 300 persons identified with the mining industry gave demonstrations of first aid to the injured work.
 The Safety First field day was held under the auspices of the Alabama Safe ty association, the United States Bureau of Mines, the American Red Cross so- ciety and the Alabama Coal and Metal Mine Operators association. It was fea- tured by the work of lady and boy teams. Of course, the work of the white miners was the big part of the programme, and the negro first aid corps did some espe- cially good work and attracted much at tention.
 A full realization of the enormous im- portance of first aid work as it is now being taught among miners by the large corporations of the district was impressed upon the onooker with much force as the teams with a skill and training that was almost like that of professionals would take their subject" and treat him for the particular thing that the event called for All manner of injuries were treated and in every case each team went at the task of saving the life of thenvictim of the supposed accident as if it was an everyday occurrence.
 The expression was often heard among the spectators that such trained first aid corps in the mining camps of Alabama meant big things for the future welfare and development of the district, con sidered so important in the industrial progress of the state.
