Preventing Death
By Loss Of Blood
In accidental injuries,- a victim
often unneces.'arrly bleeds to death
before medical help arrives. If you
arc called upon to administer
First-Aid to an accident victim,
even if you are untrained, you may
be able to prevent death from
bleeding. Be^sure to make the victim comfortable. Then attempt to
stop the flow of blood.
Trained First-Aiders know that
pressure applied to certain veins
and arteries, called "Pressure
Points" is the bent way to stop
bleeding. If you do not know this
method, do not "try to use it. These
are the rules to follow:
Apply a clean pad Of cloth directly to the wound. Bind it firmly
in place. If bleeding does not stop,
apply more pads and more pressure.
Do not use tourniquets unless
you know how. Improperly applied
tourniquets do great damage lo
nerves and tissues.
For an abdominal wound, cover
with a clean damp- .cloth. Do not
feed the patient.
For chest wounds, cover with a
dry pad of cloth," to prevent air
from beiug sucked in through the
wound.
The important thing in such cases is to stop the loss of blood as
quickly as possible. Direct methods such as those described above
will often turn the trick. They may
not be the best methods, but they
are the only methods an untrained
person should use. Red Cross First-
Aid Training courses give a more

Lampreys have been observed
previously in Devoe lake, but it
was not known whether they were
migrant spawners who could not
harm fish or immature adults native to the lake.
Devoe lake is headwaters of the
Rifle river system and fisheries

Further evidence of lampreys in
the lake is a preserved one obtained when a fisherman saw one of

RG, Bill Seiter; RT, N. Haggart;
RE, Doherty; QB, R. Smith; LH,
