Tr January 14, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 29 (Issued from headquarters, North Shore Area Council, Boy Scouts of America) "Suppose your scout troop on a hike enters the ruins of an old castle. One of the members, attempting to climb the wall, falls and receives a fractured forearm. What would you do?" Some such problems will be presented to groups of North Shore Scouts at the annual First Aid contest, which will be held Friday evening, January 27, at the Glencoe Union church. Jack Oliver, safety engineer of the Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee railroad, will be the chairman of the group of judges, and will be aided by Renner, F. Mead, I. Bentley, J. Jennings, and L. J. Wurtzler. Each troop is urged to have a six- man team entered in the contest, and all scouts, their parents and friends are invited to attend.
