Robertson and Alfred Scading of 'I‘orollto from the caved-in Moose River gold mine “will remain for all time an epic of Canadian history." Prime Minister Mackenzie Kllig said in the House of Colnnioils today as he announced the government was considering some recognition of the rescuers. Conservative l./:adcr Bennett ask- ed Mr. King if Parliament could take some steps to mark its approb- ation of the mllmit work of the res- cuers and Mr. King replied the gov- ernment was considering the mat- ll‘I'. Had he been ill the House yester- day. Ml’. King sold. he would have spoken of it bllt as he was out of the city he sent a telegram expres- sing what he was sure were the feelings of all Members of Parlia- ment on learning of the rescue. They were feelings of joy, relief and thlinkfuinerr. at the saving of the two lives. of profound sympathy for Mrs. Hermon Magill in the loss of her husband and of hlsh ndmlra- tion for the heroic work of those who effected the rescue.

THE TELL-'I‘AI.E SMOKE The wisps of smoke that came up through the crevices the day after the crash and the following day, were from fires they lit at the 141-foot level. It was these puffs of smoke from woodfirc that convinced resciiors the three were still alive. Magili died in the arms of Dr. Robertson. The 30-year-old bar- rister and part owner of the mine was suffering from pneumonia.

Inquest into i. Toronto law- ycrsdeath had been adjourned. The three men would have been taken out dead if it had not been for Dr. Robe-rLson’s medical advice. The doctor would not permit them to sleep longer than an hour or so at a time and then the three liiiddled together to preserve the warmth of their bodies. ' Old timers who believed the three would never be found alive said it would be the cold that would ‘ike their lives. Very few laymen have any con- ception of the coldness and damp- ness of a. cavern so far below ground. Magill died 24 hours after the diamond drill broke through to the shaft. A red and yellow flare dropped through the tube late ~3atunlay nlght- frightened" them. They thought they had exploded dynam- ite left underground. when a. shrill steam whistle sounded from the end of the tube. they knew communication had been established. They rushed over and frantically tapped on the-‘ pipe line. It was this sound of tapping that told excited surface workers at least that the three men lived below. The voices from the depths confirmed this, I few minutes later. Magill Too Ill to worry Magill was mo ill to worry about the chances of rescue. He did not talk to his wife although Mrs. Ma- gill listening at the surface at first believed she had been talking to her husband. He did not want her to know he was in serious condi- tion. Dr. Robertson sent his voice through the tube instead. Scaddlrig spoke quite often too. Last Monday morning Magili sat up suddenly, spoke incohereritly and in two mhiutes was dead. . Bcadding is suffering from "trench feet." Dr, Robertson has a slight cold but it will be safe enough to remove him in Halifax tomorrow, doctors believe. When he walked into the little mine‘s office. he had diagnosed his case perfectly. Jokingiy he asked for a good meal of beefsteak. Then he agreed with physicians that two men starving for ten days should have fruit» sugar. and other energy re- storatlves.

In explaining this suggestion lic quoted the following article fronl a Flint newspaper: Playgrounds Reduce Accidents 9 “As president of the Flint, Michi- r garl Automobile Club. Wilson 8. Is- lierwood become appalled at the mounting toll of child traffic vic- l tims. As a. result of his efforts to- I ward child safety, “back-yard play- grounds" were developed with the idea, of making ilic home the lnost . attractive play spot for the young- sters. Many civic orgaiiizaliolis co- ‘ operated. Wherever children were found playing in the sirccl. the aid ‘ of parents was enlisted in cstablisll—_ , ing a backward. playground. Fam- , iiies unable to purchase equipment wcrc provided with salvage mater- ials donated by factories and stores. them were established. The entire cost of the huge program was $402.93. The success of the plan has brought inquiries from many places in the United States. Canada and Europe. Safety leaders everywhere have urged their communities to adopt the plan. During the summcr_ moritlis when children were out of school, an all-iimc safety record was established for Flint. with not a single child traffic-fatality." Truly, said Mr. Tinliey, this is a record of wlilcli any city might be proud. He urged that something milzhtbe done along this line in K. Charlottetown. As this was 11 movement. larger Jack than one organization might suc- cessfully attempt. alid as all cltizeii.-l should be interested. Mr. Tliiney was instructed to confer as oppor- tunity prescnted. with some of the ‘other fraternal and social service organintioris in the city to secure their views regarding this vcry im- portlini matter, V (C.
