 The Waterbury Druggists Assoc1a- tion through its first aid committee announced today that 1t was pre- pared to enter into the spirit of the week wholeheartedly ad to cooper ate in any movement to make the observance successful. The com mittee includes Paul Kunkel, presi- dent, Andrew DiPietro, Joseph De- fancy and Abraham D. Litsky. The first public statement reads as follows:
 It is worthy of note that Ameri- cas- 64,000 druggists, under the guid- ance of the National Association of Retail Druggists are leaders in the movement for widespread first aid education which receives special emphasis May 16-22 in the 18th annual observance Of National First Aid Week.
 National Chairman
 Dean E. Miller, chairman of the committee in charge of the pro- grams focusing attention on the im- portance of first aid instruction and equipment, points out that in many of the l0,300,0O0 temporary injuries suffered by Americans last year, the American druggist offered the only first aid knowledge and materials available.
 More injuries occurred in the home last year than resulted from traffic accidents. Many temporary, minor injuries developes into major catastrophieS because of lack of un- derstanding of first aid methods and remedies.
 Suggestions
 For the guidance of all, Chair man Miller offers the following Sug- gestions, topped of with the urgent request that every adult and child study carefully the simple first aid techniques:
 1. Be sure to have complete first aid kit in the home and another in the automobile.
 2. In any emergency keep calm.
 3. Send at once for a doctor.
 4. Never allow anything not sterilized to come in contact with any break in the skin.
 5. Don't wash wound, Sterlize it with iodine or mercurochrome.
 6. Learn the technique of reviv- ing a drowning person.
 2. Learn to make 8 tourniquet, and to apply it.
 8. Learn to apply simple dress ings for protection against infection.
 Upon the observance of these simple rules may depend, some day. the difference between life and death for loved one.

The president of Harvard is
alarmed that so many students
turn away from the arts, letters
and philosophy to the social SCI
ences and studies having TO DO
with world affairs.
Surely that is significant. and
may be wholesome. if it does not
CO., too far. Anyway. it is straw
in the wind, showing the direc-
ton in which the mind OF youth
is tending.
|, There is very little wild radical
ism in American youth, little in

sons of Europe and Russia arc too
obvious, and too remote from our
spirit.
No doubt youth is more collcC-
tive minded than their elders,
realistic and less idealiStic. and
they share the common confusion
in which all of us are tangled IN
our time.
At any rate, we have no reason
to fear youth, even if it has less

They are religious, but not Sc

tact with the church they put up

like to be preached at" if they
can possibly help it.
One of the worst influences, he
thinks, is that of teachers who
undermine the faith of youth, and
have nothing to put in its place.
Teachers of about 40 who, disillu-
stoned in their own youth by the
war, have been made iconoclastic.
if not cynical.
But that influence is now pass
ing away. Youth is awakening; it
is taking in new ways. It's inter-
