ing the past Tuesday evening.

that che Milford Squadron would
hold a practice SAR-CAP on March
9Th. in preparation for the State
wide SAR-CAP on either March IS

ary 22nd, the Squadron will hash
over" the routine jobs of various
members, and also talk over the
various problems that may occur.
The latter part of the meeting
was taken up by a training film
entitle, Essential of First Aid"
This film was very timely, as in
practice SAR-CAP, there are
survivors often injured and re-
quire first aid treatment. Films
such as the one on First Aid will
surely come in handy during a
practice or real mission, besides
being very useful in everyday life.
