Utility Employes in Large Number Study First Aid A grand total of 542 employes of the Chicago Rapid Transit company and the three interurban electric rail- roads serving the Chicago metropoli- tan area--the North Shore line, South Shore line and Chicago, Aurora and Elgin railroad--completed the course in First Aid training during 1927 under the supervision of the Medical depart- ment, according to figures just given out by Dr. Hart E. Fisher, chief sur- geon. This is believed to be a record for any one year. Leading the list in number of grad- uates is the Chicago Rapid Transit company, which, during the past year, graduated 202 men and 33 women from the First Aid course. The other em- ploye graduates are: North Shore line, 104 men and 28 women; Chicago, E.| Aurora and Elgin railroad, 96 men and 24 women; South Shore line, 47 men and 8 women, The increase in women graduates from the First Aid course is an inter- esting feature of this organized ac- tivity. ~All the graduates were train- ed by the medical department which serves the employes of all four com- panies. The value of this training to the general public is seen in the many instances of lives being saved by utility employes in emergencies en- tirely removed from the utility proper- ties. The First Aid graduates of the four companies will be awarded diplomas for their successful completion of the course during 1927, at the annual First Aid and Safety dinner to be held at the Palmer House, Chicago, the eve- ning of February 23.
