Cumberland No. 4 mine, which for luur days was the centre of a gripping rescue epic. lay virtually deserted Tuesday.

A few company employees tglkcd quietly together their voices hushed as if in reverence for 20 miners lying dead a. mile underground. A solitary company gnibulance stood silcntly near the pithead where scores of anxious relatives waited f om Thurs1ay night until early Monday for news of loved ones caught deep in the -mderground workings by an ex- plosion of undetermined cause. Eighty eight were saved.

Stores and shops are open but the mine is lifeless.

It will be two months before the colliery. sealed off by the Domin- lon Steel and Coal Corporation to arevent further ploslons. will be reopened. An official of the united Mine Workers District N said Tuesday it was improbable in investigation of the disaster

it was the same story every- where. Young men vow they will not re-enter the mines again and several said they planned to leave for Ontario.

"You donlt get another chance like that one," said one of the P8 who was rescued through the ef- :o..s of draegermen and fellow miners, in many cases headed by Harold Gordon, chief of Dosco's coal operations.

The older men - particularly those with children-felt they had no choice but to risk their lives again by returning to the coal seams which makes the mine one of the deepest in the world. "WHAT ELSE?"

”What else can I do?" a sur-

vivor asked a group around him. There was no answer.

Here and there in the town, a military vehicle is parked. Emer- gency feeding stations are closed. A. stranger arriving here unknow- ing of the four days of terror, tragedy. happiness and prayer would think the miners were simply taking a holiday.

Two months of waiting lie ahead for the families of the 26 dead men. left far beneath the ground in order to prevent the loss of further lives by attempting to re- cover bodies while gas and fire !””e a constant threat of explos- on.

She , , decision to shut off all air passages into the No. 4 shalt was announced Monday by Mr. Gordon who said he real- ized the feelimgs of bereaved fam- ilies would be "indescribable."

There was no indication when the adloining No. 2 coiliery would re open. It was from there that rescue workers made'thelr way into the blast-riden No. 4 to bring up the 88 survivors.

Prevention through good manage- ment.steps up efficiency and in- creases profits. CARE OF MACHINERY It is always wisdom to protect an investment and the outlay on farm machinery. It represents a considerable portion of the capital expenditure on the high mechaniz- ed farms Of today, it takes consid- "able Patience and time to put a moldboard, cultivator shovel. seed drill or oneway disc into satisfact- OFY condition if the working sur- faces have been allowed to rust for any length of time. Rusty bearings. shafting steel chains or slip clutch- es may cause more whr in.the first hour of operation. after a sea- son's storage. than will occur dur- ing the entire operating season. Rust is found on iron or steel after exposure to moisture in the presence of air and to remove it from any surface that is to be polished. some of the iron or steel has to be removed.

Nfld. Fishermen Vole To Abandon

Quiniol Measure

ST. JOHN'S. Nnd. (CF)-New. foundland fishermen have voted in adopt the pound as a measure of fish and discard the historic qulntal.

The pound is favored because is in general use in Canada, The qulntal. used for hundreds of year to measure Newfoundland eodfish. is considered cumber- some. A quintal equals 112 pounds The fourth annual convention of the Newfoundland Federation of Fishermen passed a resolution Saturday calling for the govern- ment and the trade to adopt the Pound In the purchase and sale of saltbulk and fresh fish, and for a drive to have dry salt fish meas- ured by the pound. The representatives of New- foundIand's 10,000 fishermen also passed resolutions to petition the federal government for a clearer definition of the boundaries and territorial waters of Newfound- land; to enforce the quality of salt supplied to fishermen: for ar- rangements to give fishermen in all parts of the province similar returns. They also passed a resolution disapproving of a report of pro- vincial Fisheries Minister John T.

Mine Inquiry Is Scheduled

MONTREAL CP) - The fed eral mines department will begin an inquiry soon into the Spring- llill. N.S.. mine disaster, Lionel A. Forsyth of Montreal said Monday.

Mr. Forsyth is president of the Dominion Steel and Coal Co.. which operates the No. 4 collierv of the Cumberland Coal Co. at Sprlnghill. where an explosion trapped 113 miners underground last Thursday. Death toll has been set at 30.

"We will give authorities all the

help we can in order to deterio- ine the cause of the blast. and prevent the recurrence of such a disaster." he said.

The Dosco president praised the work of volunteers at the mine site, where rescue worken toiled for four days to bring 88 of the trapped miners out alive. "Words can't do justice to the vital work done by volunt a," said Mr. Forsyth. "It was a mag- nificent demonstration of forti- tude." :

text of the address."
