In another phase of the plan,
Colonel Lee will distribute to every
physician in the State a wallet-size
card, which will list every item of
equipment to be found in one first
aid station kit.
With these cards, the physicians,
who in an emergency will be called
or to man first aid stations and
! emergency hospitals, will be able
to see at a glance just what equip
ment is available to them on the
scene of a disaster The cards are
now being printed.
To insure proper packaging CI
the medical supplies, which must
+ remain in OperatiOnal condition
| though stored indefinitely, the
volunteers got expert advice from
Howard Shurat, packaging spe-
cialist at Avon Products, Inc,
Newark, which packs cosmetic pro-
ducts for shipping and storage. Mr.
Shurat advised a group of vOlun-
teer workers, who in turn served
as instructors to the others.
The packaging took many months.
Each first aid station kit includes
| hundreds of items large and small.
These first had to be packaged indi-
Vidually, then slowed in cartons
and wooden boxes.
Volunteers from the Delaware
Chapter, American Red Cross,
packed the individual items in neo-
prne pOly-pack bags, and also as
sisted the Legion volunteers in put
ting the items into boxes and car
tons.
The Legionnaires were from the

James E. Heal, Past Department
Commander and a member Of the
Post.
The entire operation took almost
three years of work and planning.
In 1851, the Governors Civil De-
fense Advisory Council approved
purchase of the supplies with $60,-
600 in State funds matched by an
equal amount of Federal money. on
the recommendation of DR.. Hudson.
The materials arrived in Della
ware in spOTatic shipments and
were stored first at the Brandywine
Sanitorium and later at Fort du-
POnt on the campus of the Governor
Bacon Health Center.
When the purchasing and stock
piling was completed, committees
of volunteers were appointed to
break down the shipments and re-
package the supplies for individual
stations and long-term storing.
In addition to selecting storage
