Mrs. Cal- ! vin Gifford conducted the meet ing and Golden Jackman, taught artificial respiration to a most interested and receptive group. The system will operate in the following manner; If a child falls into the canal a parent, would immediately run to attempt at-tempt a single rescue. They are urged to call a neighbor or child, what has happened. The individual informed will call one of the emergency numbers listed for their area (which is 1 o c at e d approximately two blocks further North and West) stating the area the call came from. The individual receiving this message will alert the next station and the Orem Fire Department, De-partment, and search the canal from their residence South. The next person will alert the next ect. etc. At the time of an emergency emer-gency a neighbor will go into the home that has been listed as the rescue number and tend children and relay any future messages. The above proceedure will be used only when someone actually actual-ly knows a child ' has fallen in the canal. When a child is lost in the area of the thirty block canal, immediately everyone thinks he has fallen in the canal. The proceedure pro-ceedure will differ in that the areas will be notified that a child is missing. The fire de partment wiu NOT BE called but temporary screens will be placed hy bridges and checked by people until they are noti fied by phone that the child is located or until ample time has elapsed to know the child could not be in that section of water. The above was not presented present-ed as a "can't fail system" but as a program to aid in a rescue, should the need occur.
