ALL E.P.S. PERSONNEL
TO UNDERGO COMPULSORY INSTRUCTION FOR TWO HOURS A WEEK. ACCORDING TO LETTER FROM DIRECTOR. (By Telegraph—Press Association-) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. An indication that all E.P.S. personnel will have to undergo two hours’ compulsory training each week in various subjects is contained in a letter from the newly-appointed Director of E.P.S. Training (Mr K. L. Usmar), to the New Zealand Council of the Royal Life Saving Society. The secretary of the council, Mr J. Breward, said that Mr Usmar’s letter stated that instruction would have to be taken by all E.P.S. personnel in nine compulsory subjects, of which artificial respiration was one, and was placed third on the list. Other subjects were not detailed in the letter. It was clear, added Mr Breward, that the life-saving organisation would be used for artificial respiration instruction, although details had not yet been announced. There would be four E.P.S. training officers in the main centres and presumably the life-saving authorities would co-operate with them in teaching the subject.
