LOUISA’S LETTER B

Dear Louisa, 1 graduated from high school in May and 1 would like to work during the summer and save up my money for my college fund. My mother doesn’t think this is a good idea because it will interfere with me accepting invitations to the beach and where ever. But my father thinks it is a good idea because he says every girl should learn just how much work it takes to make money. My parents are well-to-do and it is not absolutely necessary for me to work as far as finances are concerned. What do you think? A.0.-Ala. Answer: I agree with your father that it is a valuable experience for every girl to have a job and understand the value

Webster hosts EMS seminar

North Webster EMS sponsored a two-day workshop in vehicular rescue last week end, an event coordinated by the state EMS commission. According to state EMS commission transportation director Mike Lanning, the program was the 43rd program sponsored by the state organization which is in its fifth year. “We use money from the governor’s state highway program,” explained Lanning, who said his office is a separate function from the state highway commission. “This course is designed to teach highway personnel the mechanics of vehicular rescue,” Lanning said. Owen Streeper, a member pf the Emergency Squad Training Institute in Chenoa, HL, was the instructor for both days of the seminar. The seminar was held at Whitacre’s Auto Salvage near Barbee.

of money. So if you can find a job with good people it will not only mean money in the bank but it will give you something interesting to do during the summer months. You will probably meet interesting people under such circumstances--those you might never know, otherwise. Very often, when young people have nothing to do, they get bored and do things for excitement that they wouldn’t do if they had something sensible to occupy their time. So look for a job but do not expect certain privileges just because having One is not a financial necessity. Louisa Address: Louisa, Box 532, Orangeburg, S. C. 29115

Streeper is a 20-year specialist in auto extraction and has worked for an automobile rescue squad in Illinois. “We apply rigging techniques used in construction,” said Streeper, who teaches at about 130 similar seminars each year. The state paid for the complete cost of the instruction, which was offered free to area EMS units. “We want to teach EMTs the mechanics of auto rescue so they can better use their skills in an
