Chath am Blanketeer Vol. 4 SEPTEMBER 6, 1937 No. 14 ■ \ f'* 1 THE CONSTITUTION FIRST AID OF GREAT VALUE Oftimes Victim of Accident is Al lowed to Die Because of Ignor ance of Bystanders By ROY KANE In the Winston-Salem Journal of August 13, 1937, was an ac count of the accidental electrocu tion of an electrical worker in North Winston-Salem. This man, Mr. A. B. Rose, was apparently dead from electric shock when a fellow worker, Mr. Frank Amick, revived him by use of the knowl edge learned from a Red Cross First Aid Course. The Standard First Aid Course is taught by a layman who has passed an in structor’s course. An American Red Cross course consists of fif teen hours of instruction and usu ally are taught at night or after work hours. As you probably know, electric shock paralyzes the nerve center which controls the breathing of the person. When the nerve is paralyzed the breathing stops and suffocation will result in a very short time. Now is where the knowledge of what to do is important. This time where if you lose a minute you may have lost a life. The few minutes time between a shock and death is when the work has to be done. If you have ever had the opportun ity of working on a case of this (Continued on page eight) OFF TO COLLEGE Among the employees of Chat ham Manufacturing Company who will be leaving within the next few weeks for college are the fol lowing: Miss Mary Day, N.

On September 17th of this year the 150th anniversary of the sign ing of the Constitution will be observed throughout the country. It will be more than the anniver sary of the signing of a historic document—it will mark 150 years of undreamed of progress, of de velopment which has made this nation the envy of the world. We may well ask what is it in this paper, signed by 39 men, which has evoked the reverence of all generations of Americans and the tributes of great men throughout history? What is it in this paper which makes us all equal regardless of the amount of wealth we have, the work we do, our race or ci’eed? W^e may better understand it if we consider a few of the rights and protections giv en to us by the Constitution. These are: 1. Religious freedom. 2. Freedom of speech. 3. Freedom of the press. 4. Freedom of assembly, the right to get together at any time. 5. The right to petition the gov ernment to right wrongs. 6. The right to vote and choose our own government officials. 7. The right to work, and to en joy the fruits of our labor. 8. The right of citizenship or of equal protection of the law.

In fact, if “U” and “I” were not in business, it would be no busi ness. Therefore, if business is to remain business “U” and “I” must keep in it. Further, we discover that “U” comes before “I” in business, and that “I” is silent— it is to be seen, not heard. Also, the “U” has the sound of “I”, which indicates that it is an amalgamation of the interests of “U” and “I”, and, when they are properly amalgamated, business becomes harmonious and alto gether profitable. — Schenectady Work News,
