many NAV be expected to do while
wearing one of these helmets. one
half of the large building in which this
rescue room is located is used as an
auditorium and several hundred miners
and operators have watched the rescue
drill through the large glass windows
which separate the auditorium from
the gas-filled chamber. Although
there has been but little opportunity SO
far for the rescue corps to demonstrate
it's efficiency at the mines, still 1t mas
done some good work.
Once the helmeted men while fight
ing a mine fire succeeded in bringing
an unconscious man to a place Oh
safety. where he was given oxygen
treatment and recovered his senses in
short time.
It is not the intention Of the United
States Government to furnish rescue
corps whenever there is a disaster.
The present corps was organized WIN
the idea of encouraging the mine
owners and miners themselves to form
such organizations. Invitations nave
been issued to operators throughout
the country to send picked men to the
experiment station, where they may
watch the Government rescuers at
work and later go through the same
training themselves. in order that they
NAV gain the necessary confidence in
the use of these helmets. Already a
number Of the large mining companies
have taken advantage Of this invitation
and are organizing rescue corps at
their mines fully equipped with oxygen
helmets.
In 1907. more than 1926 men were
L;lled in the coal mines of the country,
"a death rate of 4.S6 for every l'ooo
men employed. This is from three TO
four times as many men per thousand
as are killed in any coal-pfoduclhS
country of Europe, where experimental
stations such as the one in Pittsburgh
have been in operation for several
wears.

Joseph E. Merrill who has just died
at his home in Fairlong, Newton Gen.
ter, Mass, was the donor of the beau-
tiful $4,000 Merrill Memorial library to
the town Of Yarmouth which was dedi-
Gated on June Z, 1905 and was an event
of great public interest and congratu-
lation. Mr. Merrill was a native OF
Yarmouth and his generous gift was
made in memory Of his parents, Eze-
kiel Merrill and Sarah Hobart Lewis
Merrill He was one OF the trus-
tees at the time of his death and a del
egation from the board of trustees
will attend the funeral at Newton
Center. Mr.. Merrill was born Dec. y
1882. was fitted for college at North
Yarmouth academy nd entered Bow
doin in 1850. Owing to poor health he
left before graduation and his degree
was subsequently coileiieo "Po'i ~
by the boards.
One of the original subscribers when
the Rridgton Public Library was lnstl-
tuted in 1895 was Mrs. George W. Free
man. a woman who was always inter-
ested in every good work and cause in
this community. Mrs. Freeman died In
1898. On a recent date her daughter,
Mrs Joseph A. Bennett, presented the
library with a sum of money and books
in memory of her mother, the value of
which was equivalent to having kept
Mrs. Freeman's subscription continuous
from the establishment of the library
to the present time. This was
thoghtful act which might well inspire
many other people in the village to do
likewise.
