about things for which there is disagreement. If The Advance-News were to cease publication, we would immediately become a community of misinformation, rumors, depressed economy, nonattended meetings, empty social and sports events, and a telephone system that would blow a fuse from overload.

Definition of “Emergency Rescue”: a procedure for moving a victim from a dangerous location. First of all, it is very important to know that more harm can be done through improper rescue and transportation than through any other measure associated with emergency assistance. In the majority of situations, rescue from confinement or pinning should be carried out by ambulance or rescue personnel. Until they arrive, the first-aider should gain access to the victim, reassure him, and avoid ill-advised or foolhardy attempts at rescue that might jeopardize the safety of the victim, as well as that of the first-aider. Indications for immediate rescue include the following: Fire, danger of fire, or explosion. Danger of asphysia, due to lack of oxygen or due to gas. Serious traffic hazards. Risks of drowning. Exposure to cold or'intense heat, or to intense weather conditions. Possibility of injury from collapsing walls or building. Electrical injury or potential injury. Pinning by machinery. - Procedure: Avoid subjecting the victim to unnecessary disturbances. Ensure an ,open airway and administer artificial respiration if it is needed. Control bleeding. Check for injuries. Immobilize injured parts prior to movement of victim, if possible. Arrange for transportation. If you must lift someone to safety, protect all parts of the body from the tension of lifting. Be sure to support the arms and legs, the head, and the back. Keep the entire body in a straight line, and keep it from moving. Any transfer is harmful unless the injured parts are immobilized. “Splint them where they lie”, unless there is urgent danger. It is usually best to wait until an ambulance is available. People who ' may have head injuries, fractures of the thigh, leg and pelvic, or back Injuries, should not be transported sitting up. The injured parts need immobilization and the victim should be transported lying down, with the first-aider giving particular attention to maintaining an open airwey at all times. Remqnber that the most important thing is that improper care can lead to more serious injuries, so be cautious at all times.
