Are You Hurt?

 No, these are not group pictures of victims of an air raid on a beauty shop.  They were made to demonstrate various bandages learned by local women in the American Red Cross first aid course taught by Miss Isabel McElroy.  About 50 women were enrolled in the course and met each Monday and Thursday evening to study emergency treatment of injuries.

Those who posed swathed in bandages for the cameraman were:
