1713 OBSERVES FOURTH .A1iIVERSARY

JUlrnl

C.E.A-. ON VACATION '

Four years ago today, 225 men arrived at Roaring River :St~\te·. Park to establish a CCC~Camp. Imagine yourselves in their shoes. As theCCe was yet in it's infancy, no one knew exactly what was expected of them, or what would happen next. Some had visio~s of themselves carrying guns, drilling for war, others imagined they would be sent to South America immediately. Their first job was to clear a tract of land ~~d build a temporary camp. Com_ pare our modern surroundir"gs with the almost primitive environment those boys knew! Rising in tlie morning, they' put on clothing wet with dew, and washed in the cold waters of Roaring River. They ate from mess_kits, each washing his own in a tub of water heated for that purpose. At night they read by lanternlight, from their meager supply of magazines and newspapers. Some of you men are inclined to think the hardships of present day CCC life are too hard to bear. I wonder how long you would have lasted back in

situation which is a potential hazard for causing a burn, think about it as such and much discomfort and Borrow will be prevented. At this present age of electrical. appliances are in Use, the wires producing a complete circuit should be handled properly. Floors beneath a stove should be properly insulated with a sheet of metal. There are a thouamd' and one other hazards, which, if properly handled, would p reven t .Ii res. omd ' therefore, burns. In the active treatment of burns, it will var7t depending upon the degree of the burn. In a first degree burn, baking soda in water, vaseline, baking soda and vaseline moxed into a paste, olive oil or castor oil is sufficient. Band.age with a clean cloth or gauze. In second degree burns, the skin is broken and ther_fore one must attempt to prevent infection, as well as treating the burn i tself. Thol~cforo. bQ.. ·ea~efw. not to use dirty material which may carry germs. Picric Acid, which is supplied in all first aid kits, is the best agent for first aid treatment. Spread this allover the burn and bandage, using sterile gauze immediately over the burned surface. Kee-p this bandage moist at all times. Third degree burns are not quite so simple for the first aid man to handle. However, it is well to bear in mind fuat the element of shock always is present and the patient should therefore be handled and treated as in shock (which I have discussed in a previous article). A tannic acid solution is the best agent to be used, but of course, few of you will have thi s solution handy when needed. Any burn ointment, preferably solutions such as picric acid or baking soda in water (water should be boiled and allowed to cool to body temperature) can be used until the patient is put into a physician's care.
