First aid is the subject for the
weekly health article sponsored by
the Imperial county committee for
the Save the Children Fund.
"The state department of educa-
tion accepts the definition used by
the American Red Gross for first
aid which states: First aid is the
immediate temporary treatment
given in case of accident or sud-
den illness before the services of
a physician can be secured.
"In school we see evidence that
the majority of families do not
keep a first aid cabinet. Children
come with infections following
cuts, bites. burns and other in.
juries. When questioned as to why
they have not taken proper care
of such injuries, the answer is, we
didn't have any bandages, medi-
cineS or any of those things. This
answer comes from those children
whose families can well afford to
have such things on hand to pre-
vent needless suffering as well
as those families of lesser means.
First Aid Cabinet
"A first aid cabinet should be
found in every home where there
are children. 1t should contain
