The group will meet at the Elks’ Hall at 7:30 p. m. Meanwhile, plans were going ahead today for the second such alert to be held tomorrow night between the hours of 6 and 7:30 o’clock This time Juneauites do not' know the exact moment when the alert warning will be sounded. Im- mediately upon the sounding of the alert the 20 First Aid chiefs, their assistants and ambulance drivers will report to their stations. Mistakes ' Aired At the meeting of First Aid chiefs with Holgar Larsen, Assistant First Aid Chairman, Monday evening, numerous mistakes in the first practice were discussed. The good old American custom of free speech was exercised as those present aired their views. It was unanimously agreed that the 20 hours required instruction are not sufficient to qualify the layman to care for ac- cident vietims, and hence a series of practices will be needed. “And another thing,” declared Pedagog Larson, “Put your supplies back into your kits, I don’t want| to find a trail of splints and band- ages all over Juneau the morning ‘after the alert”. - TESTIFIES iseries of hilarious incidents whi |begins with Dagwood almost ar-| Ivested for writing out a $50 check | without Blondie’s knowledge.
