Plans - Specifications Estimates - Financing Yours for the Asking J. T. Hardison & Son General Contractors OFFICE: NEW PLYMOUTH CLINIC SITE Auxiliary Plans First-Aid Room By MRS. FRANK JORDAN Secretary, American Lesion Auxiliary Along with many other necessary things, a first-aid room has been needed in Plymouth school for a number of years. There is need for a quiet comfor table place, where the sick pupil may rest until he feels better or can be taken home. This need has become more acute since a large per centage of the students are transported to the schools from rural sections. If a local child becomes ill while at school, the parents can be notified and the pupil can be quickly taken home; however, the illness of a ru ral child becomes more of a problem, for both the student and teacher. With the suggestion coming from Mrs. J. K. Reid, president of P. T. A., the American Legion Auxiliary, under the leadership of Mrs. Wade John son. will furnish and equip a first aid room at the local high school. Furniture and first aid supplies will be placed in this room for the com fort of the sick child or any emer gency that may occur. Service programs of the American Legion Auxiliary must be definitely classified; this particular service over laps from child welfare into com munity service, and the two coordi nating become Americanism. To save gasoline, the Dutch royal family is using horse-drawn vehicles or bicycles.
