The Res: Danville, Tuesday, Nov. 16, 3-A Postal Workers, Policemen Finish First Aid Course To Give Recital From the appearances of some of the men in this picture, many people would assume that some calamity had occurred. However, members of the oddly bandaged group are actually postal workers and policemen attending their final class in an advanced first aid training course at police headquarters. The idea for the course came from a group of postal workers who last summer decided to lake training in first aid.

Through the urging of Jesse Slayton, the men began to sign up for the course, and Police Lt. Lonnie Riddle (right) agreed to serve as the instructor. After that, several policemen also enrolled in the course. The initial class was held in September and for two hours on each of five Monday nights thereafter until 17 men had qualified for the standard first aid certificate. Most of the group then elected to take an advanced training course, which was completed yesterday by the 13 men shown in the picture.

Slayton said he is hopeful that other postal employes will enroll for another course after the first of next year. Letter carriers completing the advanced course yesterday were Calvin Aldcrson, Ed Dooley, Calvin Gammon, James Layne, Donald Lewis, Glenn Martin, Curtis Meadows and Jesse Slayton. Policemen who finished were K. J. Burchctl, T.
