Ambulance Corps Does Fine Work Across Ontario
In 1949 the St John Ambulance treated about 400 motor accident victims at highway first aid posts across Ontario and several hundred more in two mobile ambulances. The program, started in 1927, runs along 67 posts jointly maintained with the Ontario Motor League and Canadian Red Cross. Ambulance patrols operate April to December, staffed by trained St John volunteers who also inspect posts, replenish supplies, and provide first aid training. Other services include home nursing, blood grouping, child welfare, and cadet training, financed entirely by public subscriptions with the 1950 appeal set for February 6 to 25.
