CPR is an emergency measure which almost everyone can learn in a short time. It may keep a heart attack patient alive until more advance life support is available. When a person’s heart stops for any reason — attack, electrical shock, drowning, smoke inhalation — the first few minutes can mean the difference between life and death. The American Heart Association estimates that 50,000 heart attack victims could be saved annually if emergency care were available at the scene. CPR can provide that immediate care. It involves mouth-to-mouth breathing and chest massage to restart the stopped heart. Its purpose is to keep the heart attack victim alive until advanced life support can arrive. Teachers, homemakers, students, policemen, businessmen, restaurant employees and families of heart patients should all take advantage of CPR training. With the knowledge of proper CPR techniques, you may be able to save a life. . Anyone interested in CPR can enroll by calling the education department at Goshen General Hospital. Pre-registration is required because class size is limited. There is a class fee which includes book anc materials.

REAR-ENDED — The potential theft of a damp truck at Big Boulder Golf Course in Milford was thwarted Sunday evening when the would-be-thief failed to put the truck in a forward gear and backed into the pro shop. Mrs. Stanley Custer, owner of Big Boulder Golf Course, said the truck was stolen around 10:30 p.m. Sunday from its parking space near the maintenance shed. The inexperienced driver could not get the truck out of reverse causing the truck to slam into the patio roof and pro shop. In the process, he ran over several pieces of lawn furniture before stopping because of impact after hitting a tree. After being awaken by the accident, Mrs. Custer saw the subject get out of the truck and flee on foot. A group of canine dogs from the Elkhart County Sheriff’s Department tracked the subject before losing the scent at Old Road 15 and the golf course. It is believed the subject may have fallen into a pond on the golf course as he made his retreat. Milford Police Deputy Rich Schneider was on Jhe scene as was Kosciusko County Detective Sgt. Tom Kitch and patrolman Steven Knipsel. "
