TWO SECTIONS TEN PAGES MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT, NORTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1962 PUBLISHED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS Dr. John Morris Gives Policemen Course in First Aid Fundamentals Dr. John Morris, town commis-' sioner, spoke on first aid treatment lo members of the Morehead City police force at a meeting yester day morning at the municipal building. A meeting was also scheduled lor 4:30 Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 10, to explain artificial res piration in detail. > Dr. Morris told the officers that In bleeding the most important ihing to do is to stop the flow of blood by applying presure directly to the injury. "Most people are afraid of get ting bloody, and for that reason the victim frequently loses a great deal of blood before getting to Che Hospital," the doctor observed. Pressure may be applied with the finger, a handkerchief, or a jjad of gauze. A tourniquet is often 'misused, remarked the physician, 4nd for that reason he said that , pressure directly over the bleeding area is best. As for bums, no treatment at all , is best, as far as first aid is con cerned, he continued. To apply oint ihent or jelly of any sort means that it will have to be removed tk'hen the patient arrives at the doctor's office or the hospital, #hich merely prolongs the doctors' #ork in relieving or treating the Victim. In case of severe burn he ad * fised wrapping the patient in a iheet or blanket, being careful to 3 void sloughing off any of the amaged skin. Fractures require the same easy I handling as in the case of a person badly burned, Dr. Morris added. A broken limb should be moved as Httle as possible. If the arm is 4 broken, the best thing to do is let the injured person hold the arm himself. If the break is in the up per art of the arm it can be held close to the body with the victim's Uninjured hand or arm. In the case of a leg fracture, the injured person should be- al lowed to lie still. Lifting them or trying to carry them, frequently causes a compound fracture, itieaning that the broken bone pro trudes through the skin. If such has already occurred, the officers #ere advised to strap gauze over the bleeding part to prevent furth er injury. Back injuries should be handled very carefully, the doctor warned. If the injured party is allowed to lie flat, injury lo the spine is not likely. Minor cuts or abrasions, he re marked, require no first aid treat ment. The injury is such that it can await treatment by a doctor. Capt. Buck Newsome asked what the best treatment is in case of f shock and Dr. Morris Advised that fhe patients' head be kept down so that blood can flow to the brain. He also advised that the victim be placed in an ambulance as soon as See FIRST AID, Page 2 State Secretary Eure to Head March of Dimes Chapel Hill ?

Mr. Cuthrell, who now lives at Maxton, recently wrote of his recovery in the Maxton news paper. The Scottish Chief. Excerpts from (lis story follow: By the grace of God 1 have learned to speak again after an ? operation called a laryngectomy which removed both of my vocal chords or larynxes. Last August i in the Charlotte Eye, Ear, and i Garbage Packer Arrives Friday Morehead City's new garbage I load packer arrived Friday, in ' creasing the town's garbage and /^refuse-collecting fleet of trucks to three. In addition to the new pack ler, there is another modern pack er. plus a scow body truck which picks up tree branches and other junk put out for the "garbage men." Night collection of garbage in the business section ended ycstcr 9 day. Mayor George W. Dill stated yesterday that night collection* will probably be resumed next summer. The pick-ups are now be ing made in the downtown section early in the morning, as was the case prior to the night schedule which went into operation to help ? clear up the heavy garbage load that aummer always brings. One garbage packer will work on the north side of Arendell street and the other on the south aid*. Mayor Dill stated that the new gutter sweeper for the town has / arrived. A new mower arrived the r, beginning of last month. Roy Lee Stilea has been licensed m an insurance agent, it has been by Waldo C. Cheek, Throat hospital, Dr. V. K. Hart performed this operation which left me without a voice. But I re solved that with the help and gui dance of God I would talk again. And now my prayers have been answered, and I am speaking with my new voice. I give praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for His marvelous goodness and ever lasting mercy . . . And now my purpose is to de vote my time in telling the world about the healing love and the amazing compassian of God my Father, to go forward among men with my new voice to proclaim the glory and majesty, the love and power of the eternal God through Jesus Christ our Lord . . . There are two methods one can use in post-laryngectomy speech. First, you can take air into the mouth and swallow it as you do food. This will force the air into the esophagus. By putting pres sure on the stoi^ach muscles yon can force the air back through the throat, and by constriction of that organ cause the air to vi brate against the tissues and reso nators and come out in speech. This method produces what is call ed esophageal speech. The second method is to lock this air deeply within the throat or pharyn t by fthe use of the tongue and throat muscles, and bring the air back as speech. You learn to lock the air in a trigger like manner and unite words and phrases and sentences without hes itation. This is called pharyngeal speech, and this if the method which I am using . . . Yes, God has given me back my voice. And now I want to give my voice in total consecration to God by proclaiming Hia message of love and truth and beauty to people who are sick abed afflict ed and discouraged . . . In making addresses or talks I aae the amplification system with microphone and loudspeaker. In spite of my weakness and frailty I offer myself with gladness and gratitude in this the ministry of redemption to thoee bound togeth er in the fellowship of suffering.
