Blind Mother Of Dead Miner Pathetic Sight Al Funeral By IAN DONALDSON Canadian Press Staff Writer SPRINGHILL, N.S. (CP) The first man removed from No. 2 coal mine here was buried in a miners’ cemetery here Sun- day and his 91—yearold blind mother brought tears to the eyes of the 50 persons standing at the graveside. Hamid Halliday was the first victim of Thursday’s violent bump to be buried. A second funeral was held Sunday at Col- ]ingwood, 14 miles from here, for Harold McNutt, a second victim. , Mrs. Fred McDonald. sight- less and trembling, groped for Halliday’s coffin as she made her last farewell. One photo- grapher started to take the pic- ture as Halliday’s coffin was. lowered into the grave. But tears filled his eyes and he turned away. About 200 attended the brief service at Halliday’s meticulous home overlooking the time- Says Market In China FOr Copper, Aluminum, Nickel VANCOUVER (CE—There is a market “right now” in Commun- ist China for substantial quantities of Canadian copper, aluminum, non-restricted forms of nickel and certain other metals, says a former member of Parliament. Elmore Ptlhlllpotl’. reported the trade possibilities after this sec- ond «swing through Red China since the Second World War. He added that there is a potential long-range market there for Can- adian forest products and pussibly automotive products, but almost none for wheat or food. Mr. P‘hilpott, widely travelled newspaper columnist who held Vancouver South for the Liberals for more than four years until ousted last March, Wrote of his trip in a series of columns in the Vancouver Sun. COPPER SALE In a column dealing with trade possibilities, he said that after a visit to the Chinese trade office in Helping, during which he told Communist officials there was no Canadian barrier to export of most metals to China, uhere was a subsequent “outright purchase by China of 1,000 tons of Cana- dian copper." “Here. surely, is a chance for our aluminum people to follow suit." Mr. Philipott said there is “no very big Chinese demand at the present moment for Canadian wood p r 0d u c t 5.” China has field to the Medical Society at the Charlottetown Hotel Satur— day night. 7 their wives the manner in which he had conducted his experi— ments at Montreal’s Neuro. logical Institute, using pictures and charts projected on a screen to show the results. Dr. Aretas Young of Hobart, Tasmania, a week—end guest at Government House, was also flattened Cobequid Mountains. More than 100 cars lined the streets on either side of the one- storey, freshly painted house. “He was real handy with his hands... . . He built his houseI himself and kept up the grounds." said pallbearer Napoat leon Arseuault, a veteran coal miner who retired just two days before Thursday’s bump. The funeral procession didn’t have far to go. The grave yard, where many of the 39 victims of the 1956 explosion are buried, covers the side of a wind-swept hill. Pallbearers included Tom Mc— Lean. a longtime neighbor of the Hallidays who said Harry “was a fine man and a fine: neighbor.” “He was a great fellow, Mr. Arsenault. Mrs. MacDonald; married twice, whispered her prayerful farewell and was helped to a car. The first funeral was over. said enough mature timber for her owu most important needs. he said. adding he was assured by top Officialsihat "forest products were one item which China would probably want to buy from Can- ada in large quantities over a very long period of years.” SLICE. 01“ MARKET Between the time when Red China’s present timber supply runs out and the time when its reforestation programs begin pro- ducing, "Canada could get and hold a very considerable slice of the Chinese market." Mr. Pilpott found a sharp dif- ference between the statements by Periiping trade offices that the country is making enough cars and trucks on its own and those by t‘aiim leaders in the communes in Honan. The “things they would like to get from North America in almost unlimited quantities were trucks, tractors and hy- dnaulvic pumps.” As for wheat and other food pro-ducts. he said. “China thinks she has the food problem licked.” “Her top planners think they have knocked into a cocked hat the theories of Malthus, who held that population always tends to increase faster than the food to feed the increase. “One swallow does not make a summer, but 'with the phenomenal increase in the field's she has al- ready made,‘ China " ‘li‘eves she will always be able to feed her quarter of the human race." Mines At Springhill Always FraUgI'it With Many Hazards} SPRENGHILL, N. S. (GP)— Technically and theoretically.‘the formation of the soft coal field through which the CuriiiberlandI Railway and Coal Company's No. 2 mine Slices, is supposed to pro- vide ideal conditions for mining. Practically, the project has al- ways been fraught with grief and hazard. . It’s like a six-decker sandwich, coal seams separated from one another by s t r o n g sandstone strata. The coal seams worked at the various levels in the bump- wracked No. 2 colliery range in average thickness from 4.5 to 10 feet. The sandstones and shale coven'inys range in thickness from 70 to 700 feet. The strong sandstone strata as a result has allowed the extrac- tion of the full thickness of nine feet of coal. . I A 1946 royal commissmn' on coal headed, by Mr. Justice F. Carroll noted in its Springhill ob- servations that “on the other hand the nature of the measures presents a serious handicap to deep mining operations. _ Extraction of coal results lll an accumulation of stresses on 111? sandstone bands in advancyo the worlo‘ngs. The bands, iie~ quently fracture. transmitting in: accumulated stress suddenly inf without warning to the hen c coal seam. _ A The coal seam explain, or I "'ornps," hence the local name for these outbursts“ There have been six bumps in No. 2 colliery since March this year. The sixth and most serious Thursday night caught 172 men, pelow ground. Cancer Society Rejects Request To Test New Drug NEW YORK (AP —— The Amer- ican Cancer Society has rejected a proposal to test the value of the controversial dr-ug Krebioen in the treatment of cancer patients. The proposal was made by the Krebioen Research Foundation in Chicago. . ‘ The society said the proposal did not provide for the evaluation to be conducted by a competent and objective independent group and did not provide clear - cut standards for measuring or de- fining the results of the tests. ‘ Krcbiocu. derived from horse serum. has been i. )moted privat- cilv as a treatment for cancer, ‘Dr. Andrew C.

Almost miraculously. there were no fatalities. The blast ripped into a block bounded on one side by Bank Street. a main shopping thor- oughfare. Three buildings were demolished and 36 persons taken to hospital. William Anderson, 45-year—old janitor, was in serous condition with burns over most of his body. . The blast was believed to have occurred at 8:17 am. EDT. I The timing was fortunate. A similar explosion a week day yvould have caused heavy casual- ies. A MIRACLE “It is a miracle there was not a heavy death toll." said Mayor George Nelms. Prime Minister Diefenbaker drove to the scene before attend- ing a cabinet meeting. He called the explosion “appalling” and “inconceivable” and promised a federal investigation. The blast was felt 11 miles away. Sidewalks and streets within a four~block radios were littered with glass from smashed windows. The Parliament Buildings. five blocks from the centre of the ex- plosion on Slater Street in the heart of the capital’s business area, suffered no apparent harm. Estimates of damage ranged from $2,000,000 up. WRECKED SHELL The federal government's nine— storey Jackson Building across: Slater Street from the blast cen- tre. appeared a wrecked shell with hundreds of windows broken. The centre of the blast was the shop of Addressograph - Multi- graph of Canada Limited. Hobbyland store on one side and Myers Motors showroom, filled with new cars, also were reduced to rubble. The rear of the large Odeon Theatre was stove in. Another neighboring building housing a sign painting establishment was half tumbled down. On" weekdays the street is crowded with office workers. Sat- urday morning there was no one in front of the building when rub- ble spilled several feet deep half-way across Slater. SUCKED THROUGH WINDOW Five persons were sucked through the plate glass window of a department store on Bank Street half a block away. They were not severely injured. Eyewitness Guy Labelle saw a car parked in front of Addresso~ graph-Multigraph lifted some 100 feet in the air. It bounced off the Jackson Building across the street. , The worst affected area looked like a wartime bombing scene. A witness a block away said “it seemed to rain glass. I didn’t know whether to run inside or fall on the ground.” A ball of smoke or dust. red in its centre. was seen to rise from the roof of the Jackson Building. EVACUATE CHILDREN A suspected cause at first was leaking natural gas. Police roped off six blocks for fear of further explosions. Some 1,3)0 children attending a threatre 11/: blocks away were evacuated. Test borings over gas mains around the site all proved nega-, tive, however. Deputy Works Minister H. A. Young was called to Saturday‘s cabinet meeting to discuss re sumption of work Monday for 2.000 Jackson Building em- ployees, including hethh depart- ment, civil service commission and district taxation office staff. Some dazed persons, extricat- ing them-selves from the debris. bleeding and suffering from' shock, thought an atom bomb had hit the city. All available firemen were called to duty as some 12 fire trucks screamed to the scene. FELTI‘I MILES carried the injured to hospitals. Including those treated at the scene and at hospital without be- ing admitted. the injured figure was estimated as high as 50. Small sporadic fires that started after the blast were snuffed out quickly. Some per- sons suffered burns.
