(By S. R. Winters) In a campaign designed to reduce the number of automobile fatalities along the country‘s highways, the American Red Cross has made noteworthy proâ€" gress. Already there are 250 firstâ€"aid stations in operation. Sites have been selected and personnel is in training for 1517 additional stations. Through these roadside "human setrâ€" vice stations" the Red Cross hopes to save ‘the lives of thousands of persons whose injuries may not be fatal if exâ€" perienced help is quickly available. Also ‘he presence of Red Cross signs in prominent positions along the highways is expected to fmpress upon passing motorists the need for careful observâ€" ance of safety rules. These emergency stations are situatâ€" ed throughout the country where first aid is thought to be especially necesâ€" sary: namely, along hnighways and byâ€" ways in rural and suburban districts where there are no hospitals, Tourist homes, fire departments, service Staâ€" tions, wayside stores and police stations are centres of this effort to aid victims of nrnccidents. Trained Attendants At each station, with ‘the coâ€"operation of the regular owner or occupant of the property, not less than two persons are trained in Red Cross first aid. A{â€" ter the training has been completed, which requires from threé to five weeks, the Ford Motor Company of Canâ€" ada, Limited. When replacements are necessary, the parts used are identical in size and quality with those from which your car was originally assembled. The charge for these parts is low, in accorâ€" dance with the Ford policy, and labour on ordinary maintenance operations is billed at a standard flat rate. No matter what the jobâ€"large or smallâ€"you will find McDowell Motors equipped to handle it for you promptly at a fair price, and in an intelligent, businessâ€"like nner. the national headquarters is given deâ€" tailed information as to the site of the station. the number of persons trained and the requirements necessary . for maintenance. Upor the basis of this informaluo and the apparent need for the esta>â€" lishment of each station in its particu» lar locality the national organization gives formal sanction for the actual creation Oof a firstâ€"aid unit. Each of these wayside stations is equipped with a Mâ€"unit first aid kit. Additional supâ€" plies are cptional, but in no instance is the equipment to be elaborate. beâ€" cause the service is for emergencies only. Emphasis is placed upon the efâ€" ficiency of those who are trained to atâ€" terd each station. _ Elaborate medical equipment with in« experienced persons rendering aid is useless. Hence the siress upon expert training of as many persons as possib‘e in a community surrounding A station. It is not unusual to find froim 1} Y%O : ‘25 persons in the immediate vicinity of a station well versed in the methods of medical aid taught by the Red Cross. No Charge for Service The entire responsibility for the esâ€" tablishment and maintenance Oof the : highway firstâ€"aid stations is assumed by the American Red Cross and those persons who wish to volunteer their services to aid victims of acciderts. These stations may well be called "Moâ€" | dern Missions of Mercy," their sole reaâ€" | son for existence being to render asâ€" isistance to those in trouble. No fees ! for services may ‘be given or accepted. The only reward the participants in this campaign will accept are the reâ€" sults obtained in averting the serious J consequences which ensue when mediâ€" _{cal attention is not available at the _|seene of a motor vehicle disaster. n Mâ€"w Highway police have also been equip« ped with firstâ€"aid kits and trained so that, while cruising the roads to en« force police regulations, they may ad â€" minister medical aid to the travelling public when necessary. The same thing is true of the employees . of public«» utility companies, who are equipped to meet any emergency . with firstâ€"aid knowlsdze and supplies. Test of Fitness to Drive to be Urged on Department Suggestion that certifizcates of physiâ€" cal and mental filness to drive should be required of all applicants for auto drivers‘ licenses, together with centifiâ€" cates of mechanical fitness of the veâ€" hicles to be driven, was transmitted to the provincial government by the poâ€" lice commission yesterday. A> the instance of Colonel Kirkpat«= rick, Toronto police commissioner, the chief constable was instructed to take up the matter with Hon. T. B. McQuesâ€" ¢en, highways minister, at an early date. Colonel Kirkpatrick took the view that it was the function of the Provincial License Bureau, and not the police, to check the dependability of both drivers and automobiles. In the meantime. ithe chief was auâ€" thorized to set aside areas of various streets for testing of the brakes and other mechanisms of autos being driven on city streets. Similar tests in preâ€" vious years had revealed cars being driven without any brakes, the chief said, and heh heartily endorsed Comâ€" missioner Kirkpatrick‘s suggestion. Canadians pay more than fifty mil« lion dollars a in gasoline LaX and automobile license fees. PAGE THREE
