Wilson Norris Honored As 33 Years In Postal Service Ends Wilson Norm retired from ac tive duty at the Boone Poet Office Monday, after serving for more than thirty-three years. Poeal workers honored him with a brief going'away party, and presented him with a gold watch in apprecia tion of hii long service. Mr. Norris began work at the local office shortly after it was made second class in 1926. He was the first employee to take the civil service examination required of new workers in a second class office. His service began under Postmaster W. D. Farthing as a clerk and present Acting Postmast er Lyle D. Cook pointed out that he was the only postal worker in the local office that had not had to serve as a substitute before get ting permanent appointment. Other postmasters during Mr. Norris' tenure were the late A. W. Smith, Wiley Hartzog, Edgar Brown, and Mr. Cook. Mr. Norris has carried out al most every duty performed at the local station, which he has watch ed grow into a first class office. He has also been secretary to the local Civil Service Board for many years. In a certificate noting Mr. Nor ris' retirement, which the local post office workers had framed for him, it was noted that his ac tual retirement does not begin un til November 30, but he will spend some vacation time in South Caro lina before that time. A letter of appreciation from ' W. Z. Crawford, regional opera tions director, of Atlanta, Ga., praised him for his work with the government, both as a postal worker and as a Civil Service sec retary. Mr. Norris is also a veteran of World War 1, having served with the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe. When asked what he intends to do during his retirement, Mr. Nor ris commented that the most im mediate thing he though he would enjoy would be to "spend all of Christmas at Home." He indicat ed he would not really retire, but would maybe do some of the things he had not been able to do before. Mrs. Norris and two of his daughters were on hdnd to see his fellow employees wish him luck on his retirement. Also wishing him luck was B. H. Watson, a for mer post office employee, who has retired from the service.

What would you do before the ioctor come* it confronted sud denly with helping an injured per ion? There are several important thing* everyone should know about emergency treatment to an injured per*on, particularly when a frac ture ia suipected. Proper handling of tint aid measure* ha* a distinct bearing on the ultimate result of treatment, the amount of disability, and the ability to return to normal or u*ual activities a* early a* possible. The first thing to do always when approaching an injured per son is to establish and maintain an adequate airway. This may re quire removing false teeth, debris, and heavy mucous from the mouth and throat. The tongue may need depressing and can be pulled for ward if necessary by pushing a safety pin through the tip of the tongue and applying traction. Obviouf heramorrhage can be controlled by applying a large preaaure dressing over the bleed ing area. If a tourniquet ii uaed 09 an extremity, the time of ap plication should be recorded for instance, by writing with lipstick on the victim's forehead. Any patient suspected of hiving a back injury should not be moved until a preliminary examination has been made. When a neck vertebrae is sus pected of being fractured the head and trunk should be moved as one piece. Padding is placed on each side of the head and neck and strapped firmly by a band of cloth around the head and board upon which the patient is placed. All cases of back and neck injuries are transported face up. When a lower back injury is suspected, flexion of the body or bending forward should be pre vented. A folded blanket should be placed beneath the lumbar region. These measures prevent possible further damage to the spinal cord. Fractures to the arm can sim ply be supported by a triangular, "slingtype" bandage and the upper arm should be found close to the body. Forearm or hand fractures can best be supported by a board splint. Fractures of the lower extreme ties are besfesupported for transfer by wrapping with pillows and ap plying outer board splints which then can be bound securely with bandages. U.
