Men. women. teenagerS are ask
ed to plan to take this course in
First Aid. First Aid is described as:
"the immediate and temporary
care given the victim of an acci-
dent or sudden illness until the
services of a physician can be OBJ
tanned. 1t may mean the differ
ence between life and death, be-
tween rapid recovery and long hos
pitalization. between temporary
disability and permanent injury.
In every case, proper first aid re-
duces suffering and makes the
physicians task easier when he
assumes the care Of the patient"
This information will be valu-
able, not only in every day life,
but also in the event that our
country should be involved in a
state of war. 1t is recommended,
by Civil Defense officials, that at

yesterday that its future policy

Since their appointment by

said they have heard sufficient
expressions to convince the
commission that the overwhelm-
ing majority of the people OF
Virginia are not only opposed
TO iI1tegration but are
firmly convinced that integra-
