Illinois Valley News, Thursday, March 21, 1916 RED ( ’ROSS FIRST AID REFRESH ER CLASSES PLANNED Carl Carpenter, first aid chair man of the Josephine county Red Cross chapter, today announced plans for refresher courses to be held in the near future with an eye to reorganizing the entire first aid set-up in the county. Present plans include visits from field representatives of the Red Cross, who will present in struction on the new texts com piled from developments growing out of the war. Re-establishment of first aid stations throughout the county is another feature of the first aid division to be revived. Carpenter, in an effort to make an up-to-date list of those hold ing first aid certificates, standard, advanced, or instructors’, has asked that anyone in the county with these cards still in force, con tact the Red Cross office in the county courthouse by letter or by phoning 521 and reporting the type of card held. To be “in force” the card must not have been issued more than three years ago. Those holding cards dated more than three years ago must have had a refresher course within the past three year period or the entire course must be repeated. The standard first aid course consists of 20 hours of in struction and practice; the ad vanced course, ten additional hours; and the instructor’s course, 15 hours in addition to the two other courses. Anyone wishing to take the first aid courses, or anyone hold ing one of the cards still in force but wishing to take an advanced or instructor’s course is also asked to contact the Red Cross office in the courthouse. j tribution system to meet these authorizing tlie provision of all needs should, therefore, be pro types of public utilities or services vided. such as water supply, street im The present methods of sewage provements, police protection, etc. disposal constitute both a nuis Without the benefit of a fair ance condition and a public health ly comprehensive engineering hazard.

Mr. Miller gave his lis teners much valuable information, telling them where some revenues would come from if the city were incorporated, and explaining that very little expense need be made in the cost of government. One of the big benefits in in corporating now would be to es tablish the city's credit. He ex plained if we incorporated now, it would be a long time before we could get money enough to main tain a water system and lay a sew er system. “You can't start dig ging a sewer system next year or the year after that; it might be four years before you could build such a system,” he said. But if you incorporate now, you are pav ing the way for this improvement in the future. A city must estab lish itself on a safe and sane basis before banks or even the govern ment would lend money for im provements. Those were not his ex act words, but the meaning is there. Mr. Roberts, of the First Na tional Bank spoke a few words of encouragement. He is the first banker we ever heard who said we needed a bank, and intimated he would like to help us get one. He also said that he believed we would stand a better chance to get a bank if the city were incor porated. County Clerk Ben Coutant was called on and he said we gave him a headache, because he had to come out and count noses and find out how "many could vote at the election next Monday. He was out Tuesday after the meeting and said that there were 180 voters qual ified to vote Monday within the proposed incorporated district, his figure is much larger than was expected.

No longer is there a backlog of veterans waiting for transportation to their homes. The peak movement seems to be definitely over. We want to sincerely thank all the civilians who refrained from traveling to make room for these men. And we want to point out that now some space is available on some Southern Pacific trains for you who wish to travel. In other words, we can say "Next time, try the train”, but as yet we can’t say it very loud. There is now quite a bit of space available in coaches and chair cars. Sleeping car space is tighter in comparison, but considerably more plentiful than it was, especially on certain trains. Please call us if you’re planning a trip anywhere. We’ll do our liest to get you the reservations you want. So Easy— Anyone Can Do It!
