American Red Cross Workers.
A class in American Red Cross first
aid and accident prevention is being
formed as rapidly as possible under the
leadership of Miss Rebec:a M. Ross,
who is a member of the Welfare Com
mlttee on Preparedness. A qualified
physician in active practice will act as
instructor of the class, and after fifteen
hours instruction, the time to be divid-
ed up as seems best, the class will be ex-
amined by different physician. The
charge will probably not exceed SIS for
each person enrolled:
First Aid classes for women are only
intended to teach them what they can do
when accidents and sudden illnesses &C.
cur in their own homes, or elsewhere,
and are not, except that they will have
added materially to their general infor-
formation, expected to, or accepted as,
qualifying them for service with the Red
Cross in time of war. However, when
selecting women for assignment to duty
as nurses aids with the Red Cross hos.
pital units, preference will usually be
given to those who hold Red Cross Ger.
tifcates of proficiency in first aid to the
injured in addition to courses under the
department of instruction for women.
Personal and General.

Searsport is showing its patriotism by
its interest in all things patriotic, as wei
as its display of flags. Stores as we'll al
houses are disnlavinp the fac while FIN,
flags are being worn on the coats of mel
and women.

be started on the new cement sidewall
