Scope and content
Lifesaving and water safety were among the many skills taught at the special Benbow Lake Red Cross Training Center at Kapowsin in July of 1947. 112 high school students from 45 Red Cross chapters in Canada, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and Washington were sent for the special 12 day training session, including Nancy Hobbs from Tacoma and Harry Butts from Sumner. The young people sent to the camp were chosen for their known fidelity to Red Cross service and fitness for leadership. (Young people and instructor in photo not identified.) (T.Times 7/15/1947 p.3)
