2 Children Die As Fire
Levels North Tryon Barn
SUMMERSIDE BUREAU OF THE GUARDIAN
The bodies of two children, ages 3 and 4 years. of Mr. and Mrs. Leighcn Rogers. were found huddled together with their dog among the burning cmbcrs of a large barn which was complete- ly destroyed by fire shortly be- fore noon yesterday at their home in North Tryon.
The little boy and girl, Dar- lenc and Barry. had been at home with a 15-year-old sister. while Mr. and Mrs. Rogers were grading potatoes in Craptaud, about three miles distant.
The fire was first observed by the owner of the property, Eric Robinson, with whom Mr. Rog-
: ers is regularly employed.
Although no evidence of fire
had been noticed when Mr. Rob-
' inson and another man had Imnutes earlier driven past the place to a potato warehouse located nearby, five minutes later when they first observed the fire, the building was in flames. ‘
Mr. Robinson left immediate- ly to summon assistance from the Victoria Fire Department

Hiram B. C. Thompson, for 40 years a provincial mines inspec- tor said the harddluck No. 2 col- liery has been susceptible to bumps. Six major rockshifts were recorded between mid-March and the end of August this year. They caused injuries to‘ 14 miners.
Mr. Thompson said the No. 2 colliery of the Cumberland Rail— way and Coal Company. a Dosco subsidiary. is one of the deepest mines in the world.
STEEP SLOPE
The slope into the No. 2 deeps where coal is min-M is three miles down and often slants at a Asidegree angle. Most of the 166 men who went to work late Thursday night were working at the 13,2Wmt level.
Eyewitnesses at the mine said at 10:45 pm. ADT that 20 men had reached the surface, bring- ing tears of relief from some of the waiting women. Other women were reported hysterical as they saw their husbands, sons and brothers were not among those arriving at the surface.
Wilbert Perrin, who worked the day shift Thursday, stood near the mine with tears streaming down his grit A stained cheeks. “It’s pretty bad down there as I understand it.
“I've got a brother and a brother~in<law down there. I only hope that God keeps them alive."
Townspeople flocked to the mine after the Shock of the bump. The women gathered about the lamphouse where miners hang their lamps after finishing a shift. More than 100 lights were not on the racks.
Canadian Press correspondent Doug Bennett said the faces of
pit were “black and grim.” One unidentified miner was quoted as saying “they're all dead.
SHARES HOMES
Various residents of the town said the Thursday night bump was unequalled in the town‘s hrs- ’ wry. lt shook homes a mile from the mine. Dishes shook on shelves and houses trembled.
Count Embree, credited with saving 50 of his trapped comrades in 1956, said the bump was the worst he could recall. He had re- turned to work in No. 2 pit after the No. 4 mine was closedbut was not working Thursday night.
The disaster is the third major tragedy within a hundred years to strike this town in the Cube- quid hills of northwestern Nova Scoti'a. In 1891, an explosion took 125 lives.’ In 1956, another 39 names were added to the roll of dead on the miners‘ monument in the centre of town. _
The 204bed All Saints' Hospital was supplemented in 1956 by con- version of an armory into an emergency hospital. Both are about a mile from the sprawling mine property at the end of the main street.
A navy helicopter took all from Halifax with a quantity of blood
the miners who came out' of the
pumper truck. and to notify Mr. and Mrs. Rogers about the fire.
PREPARING DINNER
The girl who was at home pre- paring dinncr for the absent members of the family had left the children playing in another part of the house. and was un- aware that they had gone to the barn.
In the excitement and confus- ion resulting from the fire, the children were first thought to have wandered away to a near- by home where they frequently visited.
Concern for their safety mount- ed steadily as neighbours and the family searched frantically for the children while firemen fought successfully to save the Rogers dwelling house a short distance from the barn.
Failure to locate the two child- ren focused attention on the burning barn, but it was not until the structure was com» pletely consumed by fire, and level with the ground, that the badly burned bodies of the two children, together with a pet dog, were found together. close

is 500 feet above seaalevel. The slope pitches steeply—as much as 3 degrees along some stretches —until it reaches the end 14,300 feet from the pithead. This is roughly 2.7 miles.
Miners working at the end of the slope are about 4,400 feet straight down from the surface, only BOO-odd feet short of a mile.
Some of Dosco’s collieries on Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island extend out under the Atlantic as much as four miles. But No. 25 vertical depth is the greatest on the continent. '
POWERFUL NEW HOIST
In September, Dosco announced the introduction of a 1,000-ho-rse- power electric hoist for bringing coal to the surface. It replaced a hoist of half that power.
Dosco said at the time the changeover would permit the fur- ther development of No. 2.
This development has been go- ing on for a long Local his- torians say that coal was mined commercially in the Springhil district as early as 1834 when it was sold chiefly to blacksmiths for their forges.
The Cumberland Railway and Coal Company was incorporated in 1884 and became a Dosco sub- in 1912.-
FIRST UNION
Springhill also is the place where the first miners’ union in Nova Scotia was formed. The Provincial Workmen's Associa- tion was organized in 1879.
The association later gave way to the United Mine Workers (1nd.) District 26 which in its postwar heyday had a member- ship of more than 11,000. Lack of markets, costly shipping charges and subsequent cutbacks in production have whittled this nun’iber drastically.

Prior to her marriage. a mis- cellaneous shower was tendered Miss Giema Glover at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Everett Glover, Nomoro. The event was largely attended and many beautiful and useful gifts were received by the popular bride-tome, who was attended by Mrs. John Diver.
Nuptiol music was played by Mrs. Clark Harding. The bas- kets were carried in by Misses Arlita Gillis and Annie Murphy. anw the parcels were opened by Mrs. Robert Heaney and Miss Geraldine Woodside. The gift cards were read by Mrs. Diver while the gifts were anranged by Mrs. Lloyd Sharpe and ijs. Arthur Collett. ‘ Giena gracefully expressed her thanks.
A delicious and bountiful lunch was served and a social hour en- joyed.

The property is located on “the Cross Road" which crosses the district from North Tryon corner to the Augustine Cove Road. and previous to its pur- chase by Mr. Robinson had been known as the Fred Crossman property.
SURVIVORS
In addition to the parents there are 11 other children in the Rog- ers family, ranging in ages up to about 25 years.
They are: Florence, Velda, Judy, lRoy, Shirley, Faye, Gor- don, Arthur, Arnold, Vera, and Wilfred.
The RCMP from Borden de- taclnnent were called, and in the absence from the province of the coroners from Summerside and Charlottetown, Coroner Dr. Charles Dewar of O’Leary was called to the scene and decided that an inquest would not be necessary.

Carleton Siding Fire Levels
SUMMERSIDE—A large hen- house caught fire late last even- ing at Carleton Siding and caused many anxious minutes for resi- dents of that community at it was situated near a cluster of build- ings including two large ware- houses. The lienhouse, which was unoccupied was owned by Wilbur Cairns. It burned to the ground but it was only through quick, worl: by residents that the Cairns house and the huge warehouse of Mr. Fred Bell, along with what could have been a community oonflagrat-ion was prevented.
The henhouse was located about 25 feet from the Cairns' homo and a bucket and hose brigade working on the roof of the dwell- ing contained the flames to the henhouse until the Borden Fire Department arrived and later the pumper from the Summer-side De- partment.
The flames were first noticed
about 10:30 by Alfred Chaisson _
who lived about 50 yards from the Cairns' home. Mr. Cairns and two of the children were in Hali- fax at the time and Mrs. Cairns had gone ovei~ to the home of her mother, Mrs. Frank Quigley, shortly after nine o'clock to spend the night.
However Mrs. Cairns’ brother John was at home and just pre- paring for bed when notified of the blaze by Mrs. Chaisson.
Soon several men with buckets and a hose brought by Mr. John Myers were employed in saving the Cairn's home, which if it had caught fire, if was felt that the Bell Warehouse would be

A small barn located a few feet from the henhouse caught fire but,this was soon exting- uished. This barn, owned by Wendell MacFadyen was in the process of being removed from the area. '
There was a bit of lumber in the henhouse but nothing cf great value. It was not locked and al- though the cause of the fire is not known it is thought a drop- ped cigarette butt may have been the cause. .
