x Around I | FIRE PREVENTION WEEK was ‘celebrated last week. In most area schools students were made aware of how to prevent fires, how to call for help, how to safely get out of a burning home. i The Nursery School went on a field trip to see how a real fire house is operated. The students saw beautiful dalmation, which looked just like the one in the story ‘Fire- man Small.” They got a chance to operate the siren on the fire truck, see the equipment used, and talk to some of the firemen. | I never realized just how hevy the protective cloth- ing is that the firemen have to wear. I just can’t imagine jumping out of bed at 2 a.m. to answer a fire alarm, rush to the firehouse, get dressed, in ‘these heavy clothes, then on to fight a fire until ‘who knows what hour. And all this 'is done out of the goodness of the ‘firemen’s hearts since all local fire departments are completely volun- [teer. -0- . MR. AND MRS. KEITH R.

But to the medically oriented it means physical injury, violently produced. As such, trauma is the leading cause of death and disability during the early and mid-years of life up to age 45. When all ages are consid- ered, it becomes the third leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. Julia Cox, R.N., the state Health Department’s Emergency Manage- ment Coordinator and a member of the board of the Pennsylvania chap- ter, American Trauma Society, says it is one of the country’s most neglected health problems. “Each year approximately 52 mil- lion Americans are injured in acci- dents of all kinds, resulting in over 160,000 deaths and more than 500,000 permanently disabling injuries. One in every eight hospital beds is occu- pied by an injured person,” Cox said. “Because we have an attitude that ‘accidents will happen,’ we are willing to accept these deaths and injuries year in and year out. If comparable populations were wiped out or permanently crippled by a mysterious disease, there would be panic in the streets.” The American Trauma Society was formed by a group of citizens, many of them health professionals, who are interested in saving lives and reducing the number of disa- bling injuries. Since its inception, the Pennsylvania chapter has become one of the most active in the nation, according to Cox. The Trauma Society’s goal is to educate the public, organize public support, train doctors, nurses and Osfar ROTH AME RICAN] DPRRESS oa VISA® 659 MEMORIAL HWY.

Governor Thornburgh signed leg- islation in December, 1984, empow- ering the Pennsylvania Trauma Society Foundation to develop stan- dards for the operation of the trauma centers, evaluation of hospi- tals that make application to the Foundation through a site visit, and issue certification of trauma center accreditation to hospitals which meet the Foundation’s standards.
