      dollars  per  week during the continuance thereof, and further provided,
      that when a volunteer ambulance worker is injured in the line of duty on

      nineteen  hundred  ninety-two, said ambulance worker shall receive three
      hundred fifty dollars per week during the continuance thereof;  provided
      further that when a volunteer ambulance worker is injured in the line of

      disability  both  resulting from the same injury, if the temporary total
      disability continues for a longer period than the number  of  weeks  set
      forth   in  the  following  schedule,  the  period  of  temporary  total
      disability in excess of such number of  weeks  shall  be  added  to  the
      period  provided  in section ten of this chapter: arm, thirty-two weeks;
      leg, forty weeks; hand, thirty-two weeks; foot, thirty-two  weeks;  ear,

      finger, eighteen weeks; great toe, twelve weeks; second  finger,  twelve
      weeks;  third finger, eight weeks, fourth finger, eight weeks; toe other
      than great toe, eight weeks. In any case resulting in  loss  or  partial
      loss  of  use  of  arm, leg, hand, foot, ear, eye, thumb, finger or toe,
      where the temporary total disability does not extend beyond the  periods
      above  mentioned  for  such  injury,  benefits  shall  be limited to the
      schedule contained in section ten of this chapter.
