Dear "Phog":

Confirming our conversation this noon, I am planning on you
to appear on the program of our Fire College next September. ijhat we want
you to do is to sell the value of First Aid training, especially for all
of those connected with the fire service and a majority of those who are
serving as volunteers in emergency defense activities, before an audience
which is somewhat apathetic.

As I explained to you during our conversation, we feel that
you can do the job better if we make no mention of "First Aid" in the title,
so we are proposing as the title for your talk, "Emergency Treatment of In-
dustrial and Defense Injuries", but shall be glad to have you modify it in Ae
any way that you desire. ae

The Fire College is scheduled for the four days from Septem-
' ber 8 to 11 inclusive, and we will want your talk on one of the forenoon
programs. However, . think we can arrange the exact day to suit your con—

venience, if you have any preference.

 

In connection with the entertainment of the Kansas Girls' State oe Hage
on seated ofakg, inclusive, we would like to have the use of the swimming vale
poofeach afternoon of the school week for a. period of approximately two eet
hours. I believe that the arrangement last year gave these girls the use ee a
of the pool from 2:00 to 4:00 in the afternoon, but the exact period is not ae
essential and the time can be shortened to an hour and a half, if this seems
advisable in order to accommodate the regular students in the Summer Session es
and others who desire access to these facilities, We

 

 

The officers of the Kansas American Legion Auxiliary, which ae
is sponsoring the Girls' State, are very anxious to make use of Aletha Shuss, | oy
a student in the University, as director of the recreational program and to ee
supervise the swimming pool. Miss Shuss holds the Red Cross Junior Life
Saving Certificate. I should add that the committee in charge expects to
comply with the same request that was made last year in having an adult coun-
selor present at the swimming pool each afternoon while the members of the ee
Girls' State are in the pool. Se

I shall be glad to know at your early conveniente whether Miss
Shuss will be satisfactory to you and you faculty as the supervisor of this

activity. Cordialiy yours,-
