FIRST-AID TREATMENT
NEED FOR WIDER KNOWLEDGE A POINTED ILLUSTRATION (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, October 20. Commenting on the recent motoring accident in which the passenger in a capsized car suffered cuts, a Wellington business man said to-day that though by the time the car in which he was travelling arrived fully a dozen cars, and probably 30 people, were on the scene, nothing effective had been done to stop the flow of blood from a severed artery because no one knew what to do. Moreover, not one car at the roadside carried anything in the way of a first-aid kit. He suggested that a lot of good might be done by giving elementary firstaid lessons to the older school children in the schools. Interviewed, the secretary of the Automobile Association mentioned that the response to the first-aid classes given members by the St. John Ambulance Association had been very poor. He said that all their patrol men were qualified first-aid men.
