Page 2, Terrace Bay-Schrelber News, Wednesday, January 15, 1986 St. John Ambulance first aiders help everybody No one really knows how many people in On- tario owe their lives to St. John Ambulance first aiders. In Ontario St. John trains about 120,000 peo- ple a year in first aid and cardio pulmonary resuscitation. In all classes the candidates make ner- Campaign begins The annual Ontario March of Dimes -Ability Fund Campaign began on January 1 and will run un- til February 15 this year, according to Lianne Darby. A news release from Darby noted that com- munities large and small across the province are mounting door-to-door or mail campaigns to raise funds for the many services the March of Dimes pro- vides to physically disabl- ed adults. The Ontario March of Dimes was established 35 years ago to raise funds to find a polio cure. Now the organization has focussed its energy to serve polio survivors who have post- polio syndrome. The organization has also initiated many support groups across the province, Darby's release noted. Donations to help reach the goal of $1.6 million can be sent to the Ontario March of Dimes, 60 Overlea Boulevard, Toron- to, Ontario, M4H 1B6.

Well, they do. Every in- cident isn't a life saver. But every incident is one in which someone's pain and suffering, fear and injury are eased because a first aider knew what do do. A hockey mother in Mississauga gave artificial respiration to a 17 year old player who had stopped breathing after he was hit on the head during a game. He's alive. _ A truck driver took a course in Mississauga because he had seen so- meone bleed to death in a road accident. He came back into the office a few weeks later to say he had already used his new skills to help injured people at the scene of another accident. St. John Ambulance Cadets were congratulated by the St. Catherines District Ambulance Ser- vice after they stopped at a car accident in which four people were seriously injured. The letter said, 'Their expert assistance and cooperative conduct as they worked diligently with the professional Ambulance and Fire personnel was tru- ly effective. I have no doubt that their assistance contributed to minimizing the severity of casualty in- juries and deterioration."' Another volunteer in St. Catharines moved quickly when plate glass fell on an installer and severed an artery. The victim faces months of physiotherapy, but he is alive.

They also award a few medals to those who have put themselves in danger to do so. There are many other incidents that never get public acknowledgement. People take first aid for a variety of reasons. They take it at work as part of the company safety program. They take a public course because they've been in- volved with an accident and felt helpless when they didn't know what to do for injured people. They take it so they can become members of the volunteer St. John Ambulance Brigade and use their train- ing for community service. St. John is a voluntary, charitable organization that has been at work in Canada for more than 100 years. The organization earns in- come in fees for first aid, cardio pulmonary resuscitation and health Give blood If you wish to donate blood and live in the Ter- race Bay-Schreiber area, there is a Red Cross branch in Thunder Bay that you can go to, unless you want to wait for the regular Blood Donor clinics that are held in the region.

Local St. John Am- bulance Branches and Brigade units are members of the United Way, and they sometimes seek money for special projects, such as buying training equipment or a first aid vehicle, from local service clubs, business and the public.

Mikalauskas' grade eight class of Holy Angels School. During Advent, the class had collected enough money towards the purchase of a goat. The goat, which was popularly known as a poor man's cow, will be given to a needy family in India. This is part of the Save-a-Family Plan, a project of caring and sharing with others less fortunate. Its headquarters are St. Peter's Seminary of London, Ontario. : The grade eight's sympathy and concern have made them richer this. past Christmas.
