RESTORING BREATHING
Knowledge Held Vital “A knowledge of rescue breathing is just as vital to the average wife and mother as the ability to cook,” said Mr S. V. Higgins, secretary of the National Water Safety Committee. "Although rescue breathing has gained a big reputation mainly as a way of reviving people who are apparently drowned, it can also be used to restore breathing in victims of all forms of suffocation except those caused by poisons and insecticides. "At least once a month we read how someone has saved a life with rescue breathing,” said Mr Higgins. “If you cannot attend the classes held by life-saving 'clubs and other bodies, you may learn it from the National Water Safety Committee's leaflet available on request.” The method could also be learnt, he said, from the booklet issued by the Civil Defence Organisation.
