First Aid Lecture and Demon
stration

Capt. G. R. Fisher, of the First
Aid department Of the Red Cross,
gave two very interesting and in
structive lectures here last Thursday,
one in the afternoon to the pupils of
the high school. and one in the even
ing to the public in the Red Cross
rooms. These lectures are part Of
the Peace Program of the American
Red Cross, and the aim is to make
the need and practicabilitv of knowl-
edge of First Aid methods 30 evident
that it will be generally taken up all
thru the country. Capt. Fisher has
seen great deal of service, most of
it with the British forces of England
ano Egypt, and he says that the
movement is SO popular in England
that today no policeman, railroad en-
ploye. or even street sweeper, can
hold a~position without certifiate in
First Aid. The practicality of this
is evident, since thev are the people
who are most liable to be present
where first aid Is needed, in case of
accidents. He spoke. il his lectures,
of the great number Of accidents
which happen yearly in this country,
and the number is increasing. He
spoke briefly Of the First Aid to be
given in the case of fractured bones
crushed limbs, severe bruises, burns
and poisons. He coupled his lecturine
with demonstrations of the use of the
triangular bandage, showing its gu.
petieEi.y over che roller bandage, and
with lightning deftness demonstrated
the various uses Of this bandage. HI
also adjusted various splints, showed
how to stop bleeding, and how to lift
and carry an injured person. Hi,
remarks were necessarily brief but h,
lgave his audience generous glimps,
