From Tuesday's Daily Fifteen took the final exr-.mination in first aid at the meeting of the class last evening at the library. Of the total enrollment of thirty-two, only fifteen qualified for the exam ination. It was necessary to attend at least eight of the ten lessons in order to be eligible for the certificate. Two representatives from the Ofe Cil Co. took the final. If thesa men pas? the examination a first aid sta tion will probably be established at their station in Tlattsmouth. This will be the second station in Cass county. Fort George, three miles south of Weeping Water, received its certification during the summer and covers the .south central section. An other station is necessary in the northeast part of the county. Although some members of the class were unable to quality for the final examination, they have derived a great deal of benefit from the study during the past eleven weeks. It has been a course instructing the mem bers in the things not to be done as well as those to be done in first aid. Studies of home injuries, auto acci dents, accidents in industry, and drowning were among the topics treated. Dr. II. P. Wcstover has given his time for the training of first aiders in Plattsmouth. These men and women are going to be able to guartl against needless loss of life in acci dents. Red Cross is one of the most effec tive organizations in making a dent in our indifference.
