He was hailed by a neighbour, who stood in his garage door with a puzzled look on his face. “Come on over here and see this." The business man walked over and saw a strange sight. The car was inside the garage all right, its wheels were straight but it was almost crosswise. The following amusing anecdote was given last week in The Northern Miner. and many former Cobalt folks will re- call hearing the story before. though they will not find it any the less amus- ing on that account.

Although prices of several of the metals showed a drastic recession during the first six months of 1930, yet production was greater than during the same pari- od of 1929 and also in excess of half of the total- for the last calendar year. Production of metals, non-metals and fuels for the half-year ending June 30. 1930, was valued at $116,360,409, as com- pared with $123,702,334 for the corres~ pending period of 1929, a decrease or six per cent. Lessened coal production lower output of asbestos and the fall- ing of! in metal prices were the prin- cipal contributory factors of the de- cline. But more arsenic, gold, silver. copper, nickel, platinum metals. lead and zinc were plroduced. In the fuels group, coal decreased 18.4 per cent. in quantity and 18.9 per cent. in value. but this was partially offset by a gain In production in petroleum and nature: gas. The production of non-metallic minerals, other than fuels, showed a recession of 19.9 per cent. in the first six months of 1930, as compared with the same period of the previous year. No reports were obtained irom producers of clay products and other structural materials because of the seasonal na- ture in this field. But the preliminary statement of the bureau of statistics declares that the whole situation indi- cates that the mining industry in Can- ada is firmly established and able to operate in a period of adverse market conditions.

When possible place the injured part in water at the temperature of the body (98 de- grees) until suitable dressings can be prepar.ed A dessert spoonful of baking soda will make a soothing lotion, and serve to soak off any adherent cloth- ing, which may be previously cut around with scissors. ‘ Do not break blisters. Immediately ‘exclude air by covering the part with cotton wool. If boracic ointment is at hand it may be spread thickly on narrow strips of lint which should be applied to the wound and the part enveloped in cot- ton wool and lightly bandaged. Strips are advisable as they fit better on the part, and during subsequent dressings one strip can be removed at a time and fresh dressings applied before the adja- cent strip is taken off. The shock to the system is thereby less than if .the whole of the burnt surface were laid bare to the air by the removal of all the dressings at one time. As it is im- portant not to leave the part exposed to the air, it is the duty of the by- standers to prepare the dressings while the clothing is being removed. If the burn is caused by a corrosive acid, b‘athe the part With a weak alka- line lotion such as washing or baking soda in warm water before applying the dressings. If .the burn is caused by a corrosive alkali, bathe the part with a weak lotion such as lemon juice or vinegar diluted with an equal quan- tity of water. If the burn is caused with lime, be very careful to brush on any remaining parts before using water. It is very important to treat for shock any persons who have been badly burned or scalded; also be very appre- hensive of danger in the case of even slight burns of the neck; in any case it is always advisable to call the doctor. On Wednesday. October 15th, we are having a dance in the McIntyre hall, Schumacher, the object being to try to raise sufficient funds to purchase A scald is caused by moist heat, such as boiling water, hot; oil or tar. For the first week or two we will give the treatment for cases likely to happen in our homes. This week let us take “Burns and Scalds":â€"-â€" A burn is caused by dry heat, high pressure electric current, or by light- ning; by a corrosive acid, such as oil of vitriol; or by a corrosive alkali, such as caustic soda, ammonia, or quick- lime. This year we have been called upon to treat some 50 cases such as drownâ€" ing, fits, sprains, strains, bruises and several other cases of minor injuries. We have a home comforts depart- ment in St. Mary's hospital, whereby any person requiring anything for the sick room may have same on receiv- ing a note from their doctor. or the V. O. N. and bringing it to the hospital any night between the hours of 7 pm. and 8 pm. What is First Aid? First aid to the injured is a special branch of practical medicine and surgery, by a knowledge of which trained persons are enabled to afford skilled assistance in cases of accident and sudden illness. The above brigade intends week by week to give the public an idea of the work they are doing in the camp, and and also tell them how to act in cases of emergency. It is best to state the benefits of an effective first aid and ambulance ser- vice. Suffering is alleviated. The person who has met with a slight acci- dent is enabled to return to work al- most immediately in comfort and with a sense of security. Minor accidents are prevented from developing into serious injury as a result of septic in- fection or blood poisoning. Experience shows that it is not always a severe accident that in the end proves the most serious. The loss of a limb or even of life has ensued from an ap- parently trivial, but neglected, injury, The recovery of the person after a severe accident may be materially ex- pedited. ‘OWONWOOOMOOOOWWOOOOOOWW- jury.
