Vial of Life’. . .a workable
idea because of its simplicity

A small plastic bottle that
contains medical information
and iy kept in Khe refrigerator
is helping to save lives, says
the Ambulance Employees
Union of British Columbia.

The bottle, dubbed the
Vial of Life, is a small plastic
evlinder of the type dispensed
as pill bottles by pharmacists.
Instead of pills, the Vial of
Life contains medical infor-
mation on the various mem-
bers of a houschold — in-

pation that could save a

j¢ in a medical emergency.

The idea for the Vial of
Life was conceived by the
Sheriff's Department in Mun-
roe County, Michigan in 1976,
and since that time, has

spread across the United
States and now, into Canada.
Studies have shown that
the Jength of convalescent
time is directly related to the
amount of time that elapses
between the onset of the ill-
ness or injury and when initi:
treatment is adnilnistered. i
other words, if treatment of a
victim is delayed because
medical personnel lack access
to the victim's medical rec-
ords. his period of recovery
will be significantly longer
than if his records were
lable and an

tailed medical history of the
patient. The information form
in the vial carries a brief
summary of the patient's
health status, such as current
medications and special
health problems.

All too often, says the
Ambulance Employees
Union, medical emergency
professionals such as ambu-
lance attendants, paramedics.
policemen and firemen cannot

ial

they lack important  infor-
mation on the medical history
of the patient.

The Vial of Life is avail-
able free of charge from any
ambulance station in the
province. The information
form should be completed and
the vial put into the refrig-
erator. A Vial of Life decal is
then attached to the door of
the refrigerator, to alert am-
hulance p 1 that a Vial

provide at
the emergency scene because

physician were able to begin
treatment immediately.

The Vial of Life not only
provides important infor-
mation to ambulance attend-
ents arriving at the emer-
gency scene, but also com-
plete information to medical
personnel once the victim has
been transported to hospital.

The medical form in the
Vial of Life contains all the in-
formation required for admit-
tance to hospital including the
name and phone number of
the patient’s personal physi-
cian, and a reference to where
hospital staff can find a de-

The engagement, that
sweet time before an emo-
tional commitment is turned
into a legal commitment, is,
of course, a trial period.

And the reason it is such
a trial is that a couple who
can get through an engage-
mont, with all its etiquette
land mines, ought to find
marriage a cinch. The failure
of so many young marriages,
however, leads one to sus-
pect that these people are not
enduring sufficiently rigor-
ous engagements, and are
doing their fighting after
marriage, when it can take a
nastier turn.

The popular belief that
sex and money are the two
subjects that couples split
over is erroneous. People
who love each other don’t
break up over such trifles.
But they must learn to
handle the explosive subject
of conflicting etiquette.

Here, then, is a check-
list of etiquette fights an
engaged couple should have,
so as to be ready and tired
enough for a peaceful mar-
riage.

It is presumed that the
couple is well-suited and in
love, and that fortune and
their families are smiling
upon them.

— Fight over whether

— Fight over what is
meant by “formal” and “in-

Three Months Before
-— Fight over whether

of Life has been prepared by

the victim and they will im-
mediately look in the refrig-

Other applications of the
program have included truck-
ers attaching the vial to their
dashboards, or construction
workers affixing it inside their
lunch pails.

Finding a way of living

How well they are suc-

ownership. .
Beginning in 1908, Ford
turned out more than 15 million
Model Ts, and the car's popular-
ity was unchallenged until 1927,
when General Motors’ Chev-
rolet took over first place.
Affluence was spreading and
Americans wanted a choice.

Model T production was
halted by Henry Ford's order
on May 26, 1927, at the
principal plant in Highland
Park, Mich., and 3 few months
later at two other plants.

The 19-year total was
15,456,868 Mode] Ts, a record
that stood for 44 years. In 1971,
the Volkswagen Beetle became
the new champion, but only
after 26 years of production.
Beetle output now stands at
about 18.7 million.

Model T popularity peaked
in 1925, when Henry Ford's

assembly lines were turning
out 2,000 cars a day, permitting
the base price to drop to $290
and daily wages to rise to $5,

In its first 10 years, the
Model T had to be started with

an often-difficult crank. “Un-

could push the car to 45 miles
per hour and could run for 22
miles on a gallon of gasoline at
that speed, but few people went
that fast because the car would
vibrate violently. Besides,
roads were in no shape to sup-
port such breakneck speeds.

The Model T was gradually
refined, and by the 1920s it had
an ignition key on the dash-
board and a starter button on
the floor. It also had one
gauge—an ammeter to measure
electric current. But fuel levels
were still measured by a stick.
Speed and distance were
guessed at.

From the start, the Model
T came only in basic black,
because that was the paint that
dried fastest—important on an
assembly line. Henry Ford once
said people could have the
Model T in any color they
wanted “so long as it is black”.
