Indian Photo Exhibit at R.O.M. * Photographer Edward Curtis, in the early part of this century, believed the Indian Indian culture was dying because because of the dominance of white society. ! To preserve that culture, in 1907 he began a 30-year quest to document and record the Indian way of life. ! His work took him from Canada's northwest down to Mexico to photograph the last of North America's Indian Indian bands. - He recorded their customs customs and traditions in 20 volumes of photogravures and 20 volumes of text enti tled "The North American Indian." The collection eventually eventually was donated to the Royal Ontario Museum and is now part of their outreach program. An exhibit of 38 framed photographs from that collection collection will be on display at the Clarke Museum for a two-month period beginning March 5. Mark Jackman, curator of the Clarke Museum, said he is excited about the show coming here. "There is a large interest in the area for native stud ies," he said. Photographic themes of the show include portraits, landscapes, forms of shelter, food gathering, costume and dress. "The passing of every old man or woman means the opportunity will be lost for all time," the photographer was quoted as saying in 1907. Mr. Jackman explained that Curtis became accepted by the Indians and was able to photograph many secret - , .... and sacred ceremonies of the passing of some tradition Indian ^ that would some knowledge of sacred w been los [ forever wer e it not for his photographs. Curtis snapped over 40,000 photographs of Indian Indian life, rites, dress, customs and landscapes using a va ntes possessed by no other; consequently the information information that is to be gathered, for the benefit of future generations, generations, respecting the mode of life of one of the great races of mankind must be collected at once or the This is one of 38 photographs from the "North American Indian" exhibit from the Royal Ontario Museum.

First Aid Can Open House Offers Workshops at Visual Arts Centre •'* vs.,< Æteitfsfi Save a Friend Or Your Boss by Sandra Haggett My employer went limp in my arms! What could I do but save him, even if he did give me a lousy shift last Tuesday? I proceeded to lower him to the floor so I could straddle straddle his hips. All in the name of education I assure you. Dale, our first aid instructor instructor watched on as the class practiced responding to the situation of a choking person. I got the "Top Gun* (my boss) lowered halfway, then before I know it we were sprawled on the floor. If my boss was feigning unconsciousness unconsciousness before, it was likely real after his head bounced on the concrete. Dale stood over us and said with a hint of sarcasm "My, aren't we elegant*. Then I proceeded to locate locate the "Top Gun's* sternum, sternum, measure down, feel around for that elusive navel navel and measure up so I could do abdominal thrusts. Believe me this is difficult to do when your victim has a make-believe dilemma. You must control your laughter while reminding yourself how valuable the practice situation is. Something doesn't feel quite right - pardon the pun - when a person practices first-aid on his or her boss. Suddenly, barriers are down. He seems human, actually actually capable of choking. And one day I may have to save him. That's a scary thought...for him I'm sure. Four nights my fellow workers and I worked on our St. John's Ambulance first aid course. As the Health and Safety Employee Representative Representative at my work I felt duty-bound to be prepared to help administer first aid to my fellow workers and customers. Now that I have completed completed the course, I am confident of one thing. I will be capable capable of taking great in-depth notes for ambulance drivers who would arrive on the accident accident scene following or during first-aid treatment. Our instructor commented commented on my detailed notes, pertaining pertaining to initial condition of victim, treatment given and monitoring of condition. I have bandaging techniques techniques under control. And you should see how comforting comforting and reassuring I can be to a shock.victim. But stil) I wonder how will I react; jn a real emergency? emergency? Thé first aid course nas given me an awareness, of potential ^dangers, that I never had before. It has given given me a genuine respect for Last Tuesday the Visual Arts Centre held an open house offering a number of workshops for guests to participate in. The workshops were held with the support support of an Ontario Arts Council program grant.

One day the life they save may be a loved one. This first aid certificate is more than a piece of paper. It is a great responsibility; a responsibility to society and self to preserve life, prevent an injury or illness from becoming becoming worse and promote recovery. Even if I only remember half-of what I was taught about first aid, I still will be armed with more knowledge than I had before the course. The "Top Gun" has forgiven forgiven the minor head bruises my first aid practice techniques techniques gave him. But he is a changed man at work these days. Is it my imagination, or is he chewing his food with a vengeance when I am near. Ana is he carefully swallowing swallowing his food and arinks separately. separately. Does the thought of me doing the Heimlech manoeuvre manoeuvre on him make him nervous nervous enough to exercise extreme extreme caution during his meals. First-aid courses can change your life. And the lives of others too.
