FP Civil Defense
Accepting Applications
The Forest Park Civil Defense Rescue Squad is now
accepting applications from persons eighteen years of age
or older who would like to receive training in rescue and
first aid and become members of this squad. Persons de
siring to become members do not have to reside within the
City limits of Forest Park. Resi-,
dents of areas surrounding For
est Park will also be considered
and their applications welcomed.
Being a member of this Rescue
Squad requires only a few hours
of a person's time each month
varying from time to time ac
cording to the activities that may
prevail. Members will receive an
authorized course in rescue work,
complete course in Red Cross
approved First Aid. a course in
operating Radiotelephone and'
other training that would be
beneficial to the individual as
well as to the public. Uniforms
and equipment will be furnished
at no expense to the members.
The duties of members are not
obligating enough to interfear
with their occupational or per
sonal activities. The number of
members will determine whether
the duty hours will increase or
decrease. The larger the number
of members available, the less
time is required of each. Mem
bers are allowed to participate in
parades, mock demonstrations
and other activities of celebra
tion in addition to their duties
at the scenes of accidents and
disasters. They will enjoy fel
lowship among themselves as
well as with members of other
Rescue Squads. Each Squad that
sponsors a demonstration serves
good food and welcomes mem
bers of other Squads participat
ing. A person must be present
to learn the enjoyment of these
activities.
Os course there is an occas
sional drowning, fire, flood,
storm, explosion or other ca
tastrophe that requires the serv
ices of trained rescue workers.
Untrained persons at the scenes
of these occurances increase the
danger to the victims as well as
to themselves. Trained personal
is needed to decrease these dan
gers to life and property. That
is the purpose of these Rescue
Squads. They are first obligated
to try and prevent these disas
ters, to teach safety and pre
caution: second, they are trained
and ready to take over should
such a disaster occur and de
crease the danger to victims in
volved. The local Fire Depart-

ments cannot always handle
situations such as these alone,
therefore the trained Rescue
Squads are summoned to help
them. Disasters such as those at
Villa Rica, Meldrim and Mari
etta, Georgia along with many
other disasters major or minor
can happen anywhere and un
trained, unorganized and poorly
equipped groups can only add to
the danger of further death, in
jury or property damage. These
! Squads are trained for any oc
| casion.
The rules and regulations gov
erning these Rescue Squads are
compiled, accepted and enforced
by the individual members
themselves except the few re
quirements outlined by the State
and local governments. Each
member is allowed to express his
opinion on subjects concerning
the Squad.
Forest Park today, as compared
with other Cities of its size, is
in great need of members. For
est Park needs to obtain, train
and equip at least twelve more
members than is presently
available. Twenty-two is the de
sired number of members to
serve with the Forest Park Squad,
but more will be accepted if they
are available.
The opportunity is now avail
able for persons interested in a
method of serving their Com
munity and surrounding neigh
bors. Some periods of time will be
more active than others, but a
few hours each month as a mem
ber of this Rescue Squad will be
beneficial to Forest Park, Clay
ton County and the State of
Georgia as well as to the indi
vidual. It is believed that once
a person investigates the possi
bilities that can not be put on
paper because of space, he will
be happy to become a member.
If anyone is interested, informa
tion can be furnished by contact
ing one of the present members,
a Forest Park Fireman or tele
phone Jack Hobbs at 366-4878
after 6:00 p.m. Meetings are
held each Wednesday at the Fire
Department Sub-Station on Lin
da Way beginning at 7:30 p.m.
You are welcomed to visit with
us.

DOC MAG SAYS-
MANY DRUGS MAKE YOU
FEEL SLEEPY
By the Medical Association
Os Georgia
People expect to be made
sleepy when given drugs spe
cifically made for this purpose.
They usually don’t expect drugs
given for other reasons to do
this. Yet some do.
It’s a good idea to know this
and to take proper precautions.
Accidents are more prone to
happen if you’re not wide awake
while driving an automobile,
flying an airplane, running a
train or doing a number of other
things.
The side effect of making the
person sleepy is so great with
some drugs in some persons that
they may appear to be drunk.
Just how a given drug affects
a person depends on many fac
tors, including the person’s own
chemical makeup, the dosage of
the drug, and sometimes the
environment.
Barbiturates, given to relieve
anxiety or high blood pressure,
can make a person sleepy. Tran
quilizers cause a peaceful in
difference to whatever is going
on. This attitude is conducive to
sleep.
Medicines similar in chemical
nature to tranquilizers are used
in the treatment of patients
with many conditions including
muscle spasms, high blood pres
sure and nausea, to name a
few. They may make the patient
sleepy just as tranquilizers do.
Ajitihistaminic drugs often
cause sleepiness. Some of these
drugs are available without a I
prescription as cold remedies. |
Many people take them for colds
without the knowledge that they
may cause drowsiness. Then,
when they get sleepy, they don’t
link the drug with their feeling.
The side effect of sleepiness
isn’t always undesirable, of
course. Sometimes it is bene
ficial.
The point to remember is that
most drugs have side-effects, be
they desirable or undesirable. If
the side effect is sleepiness, it is
wise to know this and prepare
for its occurrence.
