Middle St. Paul W. Washburn, Lewistown environmental safety representative for the state Department of Health, outlined to the group "the desire of the state legislature" to upgrade training of the various volunteer and paid ambulance drivers in the state. He said that in the 12- county area for which he is responsible, including Adams, there are 3,000 ambulance attendants. "The matter can be put very simply.

How well trained would you want the ambulance attendants to be who came to take you to the hospital from the scene of a wreck, or from your home? That's just how well-trained all ambulance drivers ought to be." 15-WEEK COURSE The 15-week course outlined by Washburn includes basic and advanced first aid and a check of representatives of the 11 ambulance corps present at Tuesday evening's meeting of the county organization showed a large number of those present had already had Red Cross first aid training. They were agreed however, that the Red Cross first aid course should be continued as part of the ambulance driver's course "as a refresher." Certificates given to those completing the course will be under the same schedule as the Red Cross first aid certificates -they must be renewed by taking new courses each three years.

PROMISES, DREAM Johnson added: "I will lead as best I can.

But look within your own hearts--to the old promises and the old dream. They will lead you best of all." Johnson called on the nation to "join reason to faith and action to experience, to transform our new unity of interest into a new unity of purpose." "For the time has come to achieve progress without strife and change without hatred," the President said, "not without difference of opinion, but without the deep and abiding divisions which scar the union for generations." Johnson said his Great Society is not to be "the ordered, changeless, and sterile battalion of the ants." "It is the excitement of becoming--always becoming, trying, probing, falling, resting, and trying again--but always gaining," he said.
