PAGE TWO AMERICAN RED CROSS E SAVI WitWin the past few. years and; with amazing rapidity, the pools, | rivers, lakes and ocean beaches of | the nations have become the play-! grounds of the peoplé.- With this oncreased participation in water) ‘sports, it is vitally necessary that ‘the general public recognize the| dangers involved in swimming, «anocing and similar sports. If safety. for all is to be’ a reality,| ‘into the “consciousness and habits) man and woman, boy and girl, must be instilled a code of safe conduct in the water. The various ways by which a rson in peril of drowning may we rescued and the methods of in-| Mucing artificial respiration to re- wive @ person apparently drowned fare known as Life Saving. .. Out) of the request of two national as-| pociations has been developed the} extensive efforts which the Am- rican Red Cross now carries on; in this field of “water first aid.”| } In 1911 Colonel Charles *Lynch, puthor of the Red Cross text book, First Aid to the Injured,’ was ked by the Boy Scouts of Am-| rica to collaborate with Com- ynodore W. E. Longfellow, then di-| Fector of the Life Saving Depart- gment of the City of New York, in} the chapter on First Aid on land) | wearing the life saving emblem of jand were actively concerned for |bathers by beach patrols. Through! |Reseue Bars were awarded to 19/ NG SERVICE | ble standards. a Membership in thé Life Saving | Corps has steadily increased.. On January 31, 1925, 19,486 men, 13,831 women, and 32,803 Juftiors seattered over the nation were the American National Red Cross the safety of the public in the water. Many of these members and examiners of the corps have performed excellent voluntary service of a definite nature, such as promoting and teaching classes in swimming and life saving and actually guarding the safety of | |the Red Cross First Aid and Life| Saving Committee of Awards, Honorable Service Medals were given in 1923 and 1924 to 214 members who had rendered 200 or | more hours of service. Also in| 1924, 88 individuals who had al-) ready been members of the corps for the two preceding yeurs, were | presented with Service Bars.!| members for meritorious rescues performed at the risk of their own'| lives; and honorable mention made for the year 1924 of many more members for such rescues.

A complete manual containing in- formation on Water Safety has been published and can be obtain- ed from the local Red Cross office upon request. The test for mem- bership has been strengthened, and methods of life saving have been developed to the highest pos- of the all-too-common method of | waiting until disaster comes and then attempting to avoid a repeti- ltion of it. The corps itself isa highly practical expression of the d Cross. ideal and charter au- orization from congress that the society in time of peace and tran- quility should train its members to render humanitarian service in ‘time of emergency and __ stress. Every year, an appalling number of drownings occur and exact a heavy toll of lives from the na- tion. The suffering brought into | thousands of homes by the annual drownings loss is too poignant, and the waste of life too obvious, to be attended by indifference on the part of the American public, once its attention is called to these facts. Accordingly, the future of the promise. The, Red Cross looks hopefully. to the lay when every ‘anprotected awaterfront will have its Life Saving Cérps-ot members expertly, trained in rescuing and resuscitating those in peril in the water, so that the pleasurable and health-giving water sports may be made safe and possible for all. The co-operation of every swim- mer and every qualified Red Cross Life Saver in Key West is solicited in carrying this service to the swimming public. Any one wishing to join the classes now under instruction at| the Navy Yard and La Brisa will get in touch with your local Red! Cross. “Topas BIRTHDAYS eecerccconeses | va. C.

In comparison with Ben Tillett) and other, veterans of the labor! movement, Mr. Pugh is a compara-j | tive newcomer. Like most of the} labor leaders he began work at fourteen. “Within a short time he} | became prominent as an advocate! for organization among the iron} and steel workers and took part in| the formation - of the Iron and} Steel Trades Confederation, of | which he later became the general | secretary. As a result of his work in this positiori he was elect- | ed to the General Council of the! Trades Union Congress and even- tually was made its chairman. When important issues have been ; at stake Mr. Pugh has usually lin- ed up with Ramsay McDonald and other conservative leaders of the| Labor Party.
