First Aid at School

The introduction of first aid into the Elementary
School curriculum to us most useful and
sve STEP Mrs Reed and Ben Godfaden deserve our con-
siderable gratitude for undertaking the project Teaching
hrst aid precautions and aevatons for injuries carries
with instruction in physiology Douby valuable then
1t may be to the older Students for they will learn more
thoroughly the structure and of their bodies in add
tion to the elements of emergency first aid
In future years the classes will pay dividends in lives
saved Nothing is pathetic than crowd of scared
people standing helplessy around bloody automobile
wreck while the victims bleed to death
We can hope that this first aid instruction. started under
the duress of the wartime emergency may be continued
indefinitely.

Boys, Girls Called Upon 10 Aid Cqrden Program
AllOut Effort to Raise Sufficient Vegetables for CivilianS, Armed Forces Regarded as Con-
 tribution to Victory, FSappNSsvs.

Boys and girls ln Waterbury can play an important part In the war effort by helping out with Victory Gardens, they are reminded today by the accident prevention bureau of the police department and while performing this patriotic service rec duce accident hazards by keeping off the streets. Following Is the message to the younger generation from patrolman William c, Dwyer of the accident prevention bureau:
 Say Fellas and Girls: Do you remember what Napoleon once saidp Well, if recall correctly 1t was, "An army moves on It's stomach" !" He did not exactly mean that they had to crawl along, although our boys had to do just that sort of thing on Guadalcanal to get at the Japs. What he meant was an army was only as good as the food that was given to them and in proper quantities. That is why the United States armed froces are the tops on the battlefield. They have enough V eu6 AtiQ VtlS VSSb " uVAlS VVO good for them,
 And I don't have to remind you that our fighters are your fathers, brothers, sisters, too, and I will bet that there is not e boy or girl in Waterbury who hasn't a relative or neighbor in the armed service of Uncle Sam. A great portion of our food is being rationed today for the sole purpose of giving our fight CTS the best, and the American forces are the best fed troops in the world.
 That Is where the Victory Gardens come into the scene. If you have a yard, or just small space where you could grow some vegetables why not start Q garden this springp It is good healthy exercise out in the fresh air and you will be surprised to find that e great amount can be raised in a small plot of ground. I know all of you children in Wa. terhury have Q good knowledge of

 The more we raise in Victory Gardens the less we have Co take from our fighters - SO do your bit In this all out war. Don't think because the garden is small 1t won't help. The President of our country, Franklin D. Roosevelt, wants millions of children to plant, Maybe one Of the neighbors has an empty lot that they won't be using this year. If so, a group of children could ask for the land and have Q lot of enjoyment and at the same time know that they were helping to win the war by producing their own vegetables. The great morale builder in any nation is plenty of food and ability to eat 1t. Let's all dig in, and good old Mother Earth will do the rest.
