Highway Pafrol
Launches First
Aid Program
An extensive program now be
ing conducted by the Highway
Patrol will, in the near future,
qualify every uniformed man in
the organization to administer
first aid and make every patrol
vehicle a mobile fint aid station.
Through the cooperation of the
American Red Cross eighteen se
lected patrolmen, representing
all of the nine patrol districts,
have been trained in a special
one-week school and qualified
as instructors in first aid. These
men will become the nucleus of
the program by returning to
their respective districts and
conducting standard and ad
vanced courses for other patrol
men.
Chief Highway Commissioner
Claude R. McMillan announced
that the plan is to have every
patrolman to render assistance
and give first aid treatment to
victims of accidents, fires, floods
or other disasters. Every patrol
automobile will be equipped
with blankets, complete first aid
kits, splints and other materials
for administering first aid.
Captain Tee Hutto, command-
ing officer of the patrol, said the
training in first aid will greatly
supplement the assistance that
the men will be able to give,
thereby furthering their service
to the motoring public. In addi
tion to the emergency service
made possible by the training,
Captain Hutto pointed out, the
men will also be qualified to lec
ture to groups or organizations
desiring first aid instruction.
During the recently-complet
ed course for instructors, stress
was placed upon the stopping o#
bleeding, artifical respiration,
treatment for poisons and shock,
care of all types of wounds and
bums, transportation of patients
from accident scenes and how to
improvise materials for splint
ing and transportation of pa
tient*
eh to enable the men to know
when it is safe to move an acci
dent victim and when it is not,
one of the cardinal principles of
first aid which, it was explain
ed, often means the difference
between life and death or be-

The growth of my home town of Charlotte, N. C., has multiplied
the number of telephones until it has become necessary to provide
three separate exchanges. They are Edison, Franklin, and Express.
This, is the same system used in other large cities.
I am glad that my exchange is Edison, as it is the name of one of
the great benefactors of the human race—Thomas A. Edison. He,
with Bepjamin Franklin, whose 1 name has been
given to another of our telephone exchanges, are
ihe two great Americans who spell to us one word
and one blessing—electricity.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of Thom
as A. Edison’s invention of the incandescent electric
light. It was on October 21, 1879, that he produced
the first practical light bulb, which we now accept
as commonplace.
For thousands of years the progress of artificial
lighting was very slow. Even today in this country
where electricity has been taken to the most re-
Dr. Spaugh mote farmhouse, candles and kerosene lamps are
still in use and in some of our larger cities there are some of the old
Special-training wax giv- ,M . ,treet Ufhta. On my desk, now is a kerosene “student” lamp
■ • ~ which was used by my wife’s father. Occasionally I light it up when
a severe electric storm temporarily cuts off the electric power.
New discoveries of the wide use of electricity sure constantly be
ing made. This column is being dictated to a machine powered by
an electric motor and equipped with electric tubes. My sermons
each Sunday are recorded on this same machine. I often play them
back that I may hear what I said. Sometimes it doesn’t make me
very happy. One time I went to sleep listening to myself. I can
now understand why others do it.
We accept electricity as commonplace, use it freely and willingly.
Yet how many of us know what electricty is. But because we don’t
know what it is, we don’t hesitate to use it. We accept it in faith.
If we use electricity in faith, why do we hesitate to use another
great power which God has given us—prayer—because we cannot
explain it?
Thomas Edison, shortly before he died, said that the next great
advances which man would make would be in the realm of the spiri
tual. He was right These advances are now being made. If we are
going to use God’s electric power, then join the onward march and
become one of the growing-number of users of prayer power.

tween complete recovery and
permanent disability.
Additional instruction was in
cluded on finding and removing
victims from in and around
wrecked vehicles, including ve
hicles which are under water.
Since accidents often involve
more than one person, the men
were taught to treat the most
seriously- injured first so as to
prevent the loss of time when
immediate attention is needed.
Ellis Fysal, safety representa
tive (first aid and water) for the
American Red Cross in South
Carolina, served as instructor for
the training school. He pointed
out that the treatment or assist
ance the men will be qualified to
give will be essentially of an im
mediate and temporary nature,
but will be invaluable in the sav
ing of lives and limbs of these
involved in mishaps.
The Highway Department has
announced that all men who
have had the required amount of
training will be provided with
special emblems to be worn on
their uniforms and also 'with
identifying emblems for their
cars. Mr. McMillan said that
the program will mean a per
petuating system of training pa
trolmen in first aid, with re
fresher courses being conducted
from time to time for both in-
Farmers Have
Many Accidents
While Driving
Are farmers worse drivers
than city folks?
Nobody’s sure yet. But “Acci
dent Facts,” the National Safety
Council’s statistical yearbook,
just off the press, says farmers
appear to be involved in fatal ac
cidents more frequently than
other drivers.
Complete and detailed infor
mation is not available, but re
ports from 16 states show that 14
per cent of all drivers involved
in fatal accidents in 1953 were
farmers and farm laborers.
About one farmer in 1,009 was
involved in a fatal motor vehicle
accident last year, while for all
other drivers the rate was about
one in 1,500. For all other male
drivers the rate was about one in
1,200.
These comparisons relate acci
dents to the number of drivers
only and do not include the
amount, of driving done by farm
ers and others.

Mon Who Knows
What's Going On
Washington, July 26—Bernard
M. Baruch lunched with Presi
dent Eisenhower toady and later
praised the President as a man
who knows “what’s going on” in
the country.
The retired financier and ad
visor to several presidents at
first declined to comment ,pn
anything when he left the Presi
dent, even when asked what he
thought of the business situation.
“I think I’ll keep quiet about
that,” he replied. He added
quickly, however, ‘That doesn’t
mean I think it’s bad.” Outside
the White House the 83-year-old
“elder statesman” turned to
newsmen with the remark:
“I will say this—the fellow in
there" — nodding at the White
House — “knows what’s going
on.” S'
Baruch nas lunched with Eis
enhower several tiroes since the
