Orange County. They explained the Rescue Squad was Finding it almost impossible
to secure enough trained volunteer help to man the daytime calls this organization
must handle. The Officers of the Squad have been disausaing this problem for some
time and now feel they must move towards acquiring some paid help to furnish this
service during the day. At present the Squad members can continue providing
serroice during the night and on weekends. Since the financial burden of providing

they propose to hire to render ambulance service during the daytime.
