First Aid Army of 10000
Being Trained by Red Cross
Force Swelling to Full Strength to Serve
District in Air Raids or Other Disasters

chapter will consist Of two sep
arate divisions-one to take care
of injured inside of buildings and
one to care for victims found on
the streets. The floor of each ma jor
building will have a detachment of
from IS to so first aiderS, all well
trained. These units will search out
and attend the injured on their
respective floors, and will arrange
for proper disposition Of those in
need of surgical treatment.
Divisions Mapped.
To set up the outside unit, the
city was separated into four major
divisions, each divisible into four
smaller areas. At the head is a
general staff, directly above four
division staffs. each assigned to one
of the four divisions and each in
charge of four of the smaller area
units. Contact, in case the Dis
tricts electrical supply is inter-
rupted, will be maintained by in
dividual battery radio sets.
OSCl lllC ClllLlC vi DO
chief of operations will be Claude
M. Maxwell, an electrical engineer
and a man thoroughly trained in
first aid work His immediate staff
will consist of chief surgeon, chief
executive, chief technician, chief of
communications and chief of supply.
as well as radio men, clerks and
runners. Two staff cars with drivers
will be at hand for use when
needed.
A somewhat similar setup will be
followed with the division staffs.
The area units, or the detachments
which actually will pick up the
wounded, will be equipped with am
balances and stated with doctors.
nurses, first aiders, orderlies and
runners. Each will function around
a central collecting station, to
which the more seriously injured
will be brought.
Personnel Checked.
In setting up this force of 10000
persons. close contact has been kept
with the Secret Service and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation. To
guard against -subversive activity
under the camouflage of volunteer
emergency service, a complete rec
ord, with photograph, fingerprints
and even mannerisms, is kept on
each person given first aid instruc-
ton.
When the organization is COM
pleted, it will be turned over to
the ONCE of Civilian Defense and
will operate directly under that
agency.
The goal is not far off. Within
the week the Red Cross will begin
classes in a first aid course that has
been completely revised to make it
fit civilian defense. Included for
the first time will be prescribed
methods for treatment of gas vic
Tins.

The annual District Red Cross
Roll Call notD is in progress. NTH
a goal OF 100000 memberships.
This is one OF a series OF feature
articles Which The Star is pub
fishing to acquaint the public
,Uith Uhat the Red Cross is doing.
BY PAT JONES.
Due to the foresight Of the Dis
trict Red Cross Chapter. an army
of 10000 volunteers schooled in the
best first aid practice soon will be
ready to go into action in case an
air raid alarm is sounded in Wash
ington.
Working hand in fist with the
Federal Government and with local
efforts of recent date to make the
District of Columbia air raid con-
sciouS, the chapter has increased its
defense activity to the maximum.
but its efforts are in the nature of
finishing touches. The local Red
Cross program of this nature had
been under way for more than two
years.
1t was shortly after the outbreak
of the European war that DR.. Roy
Lyman Sexton, chairman of first
aid, water safety and accident pre-
vention. returned from England
with an idea. He had studied the
situation abroad and was convinced
America should begin a civilian de-
fense program at once. The public
thought he was hysterical; the chap
ter thought he was wise and went
to work on his plan.
Prescribes First Precaution.
It is a peculiar answer that Robert
H. Duncan, the man who has put
the Sexton proposal into effect, gives
to the question, What would be
the first precaution here if an air
raid alarm were sounoed?"
THE doors of all large Govern
ment buildings. department stores
and other public houses would be
closed Immediately" is his reply.
The director of first aid instruc-
ton gives that answer with a
straight face and then follows it
up with this explanation:
You see, every building will be
equipped to take care of its injured
and there will be no need for out
side help. This will keep down con-
fusion and it also will lessen the
possibility that some enemy will
slip in under cover of the excitement
and invade valuable Government
records or commit some act of sab
otage."
Made Survey of City.
The first step the chapter took
after DR.. Sexton came back with
his idea was to send out Mr.. Duncan,
then 81. a former college athlete
with a shock Of blond hair and an
engaging smile, to make a survey
of the city. He worked rapidly and
thoroughly. Every building and
every area was studied. Facilities
even to the most minute-buses that
could be converted into hospitals,
homes and schools that could be
used as first aid stations-were
listed.
With that over. he began on the
first aid organization, ana there he
met trouble. ONCE workers and
others asked to take part heaped
ridictle. The war was on the other
side of the Atlantic, they argued,
and had nothing to do with this
country. But the attitude has
changed and the Red Gross now is
flooded with requests for first aid
instruction.

Poultry Prospects Fine
And More Profits Due

After a year Of cutting down of
.flocks because of a narrower spread
than usual between feed cost and the
price of eggs and poultry, the cycle
has turned and one or two years of
flock expansion In response to profit
able feeding ratios probably lie ahead.
The year has started with slightly
smaller laying flocks and less young
stock still to be sold than a year ago,
while public buying power probably is
5 TO 8 percent higher. Smaller supplies
and stronger demand spell higher
prices than a year earlier.
Feed costs over. the next four or
five months probably will average
lower than at the same time in 1910
With eggs and poultry considerably
higher relative to feed costs during the
Matching season than last year, more
young chickens probably win be raised
than in 1940 If such an increase &C.
ours, it is likely to be reflected in
receipts Of poultry in the second half
Of 1941 and in larger additions of
pullets to laying flocks late IN the
year. However, with prospect that
Incomes of consumers win continue to
rise, poultry production may remain
more profitable than usual until well
into 1912.

Phenothiazine, said Howell, first was
