 The public had it's first view short time ago of the medals to be awarded heroes whose courageous deeds are deemed by the Carnegie hero fund commission worthy of such recogni- ton. The commission began it's work In April. 1924, and sixty three awards have been made but the medals them selves were not ready for presentation until recently. The cases that have now been considered number lo4, but there are .5212 cases still pending and hundreds awaiting investigation. The medals are of three matcrials-bronZe, silver and gold-the metal selected i'll each case representing the degree o1 risk taken by the recipient, but all are of the same size and design. The ob- verse of the medal contains a baS rcliet portrait of the creator of the fund. Andrew Carnegie. with the inScripz tionS "Carue@ie Hero Fund" and "Es tablishea April r., 1904.

One of the most notable of the awards recently made was that to Rufus K Combs of Midway, Ky. In addition to q silver medal, he received S1 .5OO in cash for saving the life of his political rival and bitter enemy, Rich ard GodsOn, who had been overcome by gas in d vault while inspecting a gasmaking machine. Combs plunged through a small manhole at the top of the vault after him. When he got hm out he fell unconscious on the limp but still living body of his enemy.
