The value of a knowledge of first ald is indispensable in times of emergency or stress, and has been instrumental in saving many, many lives throughout Canada when casual accidents have hap- pened. Statistics show that the majority of injuries are sustained in the home, and a course in first ald should: therefore appeal to the housewife as well as the motorist, haying in mind the serious traf- fic accidents that do occur. The course consists of six two- hour lectures, with an examina- tion before a medical man at the conclusion of the course. The St. John Ambulance certificate is is- sued to all who pass the course. The formation of Brigade Units, one for men and one for womer, will follow the completion of the course. The Brigade is a uniformed body of first aiders who, under semimilitary control, are avail able in uniform at any public event where crowds gather, at sporting or athletic meets, fairs, etc, In case of emergency. They are also of incalculable value when disasters . occur, rendering very practical service, Perhaps the most notable recent instance was the "Noronic" tra- gedy in Toronto, when 215 Brigade members performed a total of ov- er 5,000 hours of free service, which brought forth favourable comment from both Canada and the United States. There are from time to time other calamities, ser- ious fires, train wrecks, severe traffic accidents, etc. which im- press on the minds of those res- ponsible for general welfare, the value of the Brigade's services. "The value of Brigade formations is that personnel are identified, either by wearing a uniform or armband and beret, and are therefore recognized by police and_citizens alike, which is not fie" case" when an unidentified first-aider is at the scene of an accident. The St. John Ambulance Brigade will also be playing a very important part in the Civil Defence of the Dominion. Dr. and Mrs. C. Lloyd Jones are entertaining ihe directors and their wives after the annual meeting of the Oakville Humane Society on Wednesday evening in honor of Professor Ellsworth Jaeger, noted lecturer and cura- tor of the Buffalo Museum of Science.
